Back in 2015, the developer of Invisible showed interest in bringing the game to Switch when the system was known as NX. Then earlier this year, we heard something more concrete as the possibility was actively being looked into.
All turned out well in the end, as Indivisible is now confirmed for Switch. The platformer-RPG will be out on the console next year along side other versions. It will be sold both physically and digitally.
We’ve included a full overview and trailer for Indivisible below.
“Indivisible is a new RPG/platformer IP, starring Ajna (AHZH-na), a girl who sets out on a globe-spanning journey to discover the truth behind her mysterious powers. On her quest she’ll be joined by a variety of unique heroes and gain new abilities to traverse the environments and defeat the enemies they’ll encounter along the way.
Indivisible is inspired by classic platformers and RPGs, but with the unique characters and gameplay depth Lab Zero is known for.
In addition to a fresh spin on RPG gameplay, Indivisible features a deep storyline inspired by southeast Asian and other world mythologies, Lab Zero’s trademark feature-quality 2D hand-drawn animation, a lush soundtrack from legendary Secret of Mana composer Hiroki Kikuta, and an opening animation by popular anime studio TRIGGER.”

Nintendo says Fire Emblem Switch is “going to be looking beautiful with great graphics”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 68 Comments
Nintendo announced a new Fire Emblem game for Switch a few months ago. We’ve yet to see a single image from the game, but it’ll apparently be worth the wait. Nintendo’s Kenta Nakanishi told USgamer in a new interview that “it’s going to be looking beautiful with great graphics”.
That’s not the only thing Nakanishi recently said about the project. This past weekend, we reported him noting that Switch “should be able to offer a completely different Fire Emblem, breathing life into our characters like never before.”
