thatgamecompany isn’t ruling out Switch for its next project. When asked if the upcoming title will be on Nintendo’s new system, the company wrote:

thatgamecompany last developed Journey, which launched in 2012. The studio said in 2013 that Wii U would be an “option” after its contract ended to produce three games with Sony.

Thanks to Adimaza for the tip.
