Rebellion confirms the studio is making Switch games
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Rebellion hasn’t had a game on a Nintendo platform since 2012 with Sniper Elite V2. However, CEO Jason Kingsley confirmed to VG247 that the studio is in fact working on titles for the system.
Speaking with the site, Kingsley said that “Switch is a really important format to us.” But since the system doesn’t have the same kind of power as competing consoles, Rebellion isn’t merely porting its games over and is instead thinking about “new and interesting ideas.”

More data is in from this month’s NPD report.
On the Switch hardware front, the Neon Switch was the month’s best-selling hardware SKU. That applies to both both unit and dollar sales.
That’s not the only good news for Nintendo. Switch software sales in May generated growth of 90% when compared to a year ago, which is the highest software revenues for any Nintendo platform in May since the Wii in May 2011. This is without digital sales since NPD does not track digital sales on Nintendo platforms.
