Earlier this year, we heard that the team behind Crawl was “looking into” a potential Switch version. That’s now confirmed, and we also have a release date. You can look for Crawl on the eShop on December 19.

Crawl features dungeon-crawling gameplay in which your friends control the monsters. You’ll explore randomly generated dungeons packed with traps and beasts. When a friend kills you, they take your place and it’s their turn to crawl.

Find more information about Crawl below, along with a trailer.

Price explained that since Switch is a new platform and the team is using a middleware engine, “it adds another link to the change” and they’ve had lots to learn. He did reiterate that Unity and Nintendo, as well as publisher Team17, provided assistance on a technical level.
