Arco getting the physical treatment on Nintendo Switch

Arco has been on Nintendo Switch for a bit now as a digital download, but Lost in Cult has now announced plans for a physical release.

The Mesoamerican fantasy-RPG will be sold standalone, but there’ll also be a special “Editions” release. The latter, limited to 3,000 copies, includes an essay and developer interview booklet (40 pages) by Chris Tapsell, original outer slipcase artwork by Alariko, variant Nintendo Switch game case cover with reverse artwork by Alariko, poster artwork by Antoine Maillard, a color-thematic inner slipcase with release number code, fold-out unique artwork poster with checklist and artist description on the back, four art cards chosen from the developer with captions, and director’s authenticity card (individually numbered).

Here’s some information about the game:

Travel across an enchanted, fantastical Mesoamerica in this tactical narrative RPG from Franek Nowotniak, José Ramón “Bibiki” García, Antonio “Fayer” Uribe & Max Cahill, and published by Panic. In this Western-style triptych, embark on an odyssey through plains, deserts and forests to take revenge on the Red Company – using Arco’s unique “simultaneous turn-based” combat system to decide the fate of four unlikely heroes.

Presented in a gorgeous pixel style, and accompanied by a quintessentially latin-inspired score by José Ramón “Bibiki” García, Arco is an audiovisual marvel that must be played to be understood.
