The only release Telltale Games currently has planned on Switch is Minecraft: Story Mode – Complete Adventure, the full package from season 1. However, more titles could end up on Nintendo’s console in the future.

Telltale head of communications Job Stauffer spoke with GameSpot about the company’s Switch support in a new interview. Not only are the developer at the studio “big fans” of the system, but Stauffer also said it’s also “kind of perfect for what we do.”

Stauffer’s full words:

“We haven’t quite announced [Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 for Switch] but we certainly hope to continue things on that platform; we’re big fans.

It wouldn’t be unheard if more of our series also made it to Switch; we love the platform. It’s kind of perfect for what we do. All of our games are the same on mobile as they are on consoles. And for a mobile console [like the Switch] it’s pretty awesome.”
