The Town of Light was announced for Switch over a year ago. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about the status of the psychological horror adventure game.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, The Town of Light has hit a roadblock on Switch. Wired Productions no longer intends to offer a physical version since the team was “simply not happy with the end result and did not feel we could release in its current state”. That doesn’t sound good for the game overall, but a digital-only release will still be investigated. We wouldn’t count on The Town of Light coming to Switch at this point, but we’ll keep you updated with any news in the future.

Thanks to JPSWITCHMANIA for the tip.
