Note that those who have registered their game at the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission will receive double the number of Festival Coins.

Dead Synchronicity shouldn’t be too far away from reaching Switch. Fictiorama’s Luis Oliván indicated that it could be a couple of weeks or a month. In other words, it’ll be sooner rather than later.

Regarding why the team felt that Switch was an appropriate platform for Dead Synchronicity, Oliván told GameReactor:

“The first platform was PC, but I year ago it was released for PS4 the feedback was really great. It was a platform we had never worked with and, of course Dead Synchronicity is a point-and-click adventure game, and we had to change the interface, the way the player communicate with the game. But the feedback was so great that when we saw Nintendo Switch, was like ‘oh, we want to release the game on this platform because Switch is awesome for players”.

Oliván also said that there are no plans for touch controls.
