Ore Creative began to show interest in bringing Ira to Switch in February. Today, the indie developer officially announced that it’s happening.

A simple but effective message from the official Ira Twitter page reads:

Ira is a point-and-click adventure game in which players “explore alien landscapes, relive past events, and watch as the nature of reality becomes porous and untrustworthy.” It’s planned for release at some point this year.

At the end of last year, we heard Messhof co-founder Kristy Norindr say that Switch and Nidhogg would be a “perfect” match. Creative director Mark Essen apparently feels the same way.

Gamereactor asked Essen about a potential version of the upcoming sequel, Nidhogg 2. He said in response: “Yeah, definitely, I mean it’s two players so it makes sense, simple control scheme, so…”

Nidhogg 2 launches later this year. If we hear anything official about a Switch version, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Pocket Rumble was planned to hit the Switch eShop in March. That didn’t happen sadly, and the game remains without a concrete release date. The good news is that Pocket Rumble shouldn’t be too far off.

As for why Pocket Rumble was delayed, one of the co-designers mentioned that “the date we announced was too early to begin with due to miscommunication”. “Working out the technical kinks of the port has just taken much longer than we expected,” the developer added.

THQ Nordic announced Battle Chasers: Nightwar for Switch this week. It’s a new game from Airship Syndicate, a team compromised of former developers from Darksiders developer Vigil. Battle Chasers is packing in RPG features, dungeons, and turn-based combat.

One piece of information shared during the Nintendo Direct announcement was that Battle Chasers: Nightwar would be on Switch first. However, that’s not actually true. Airship Syndicate took to Twitter and clarified that all platforms will have Battle Chasers at the same time, so it’s not a timed exclusive after all.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar doesn’t have a set release date just yet. Look for the game sometime this summer.
