Volta-X

The real-time robot strategy battler Volta-X will feature-cross-play between Switch and PC, GungHo Online Entertainment America has announced. Players on the two platforms will be able to team up and form clans or battle each other online.

A new webcomic has also been released, accessible here. GungHo says that it “showcases the unique art style of Volta-X and dives into the backstories of two of the game’s main protagonists, Ian and Sheldon. Both are on the verge of graduating from the Volta academy but need to pull off a heist to ‘borrow’ their own giant Volta robot for an upcoming tournament.” More comics will be shared in the future.

Volta-X launches on Switch later this summer.
