WILL: A Wonderful World physical release essentially confirmed
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
WILL: A Wonderful World was given a new rating by the ESRB last month. It was a sign that PM Studios will be bringing the game to retail, though we didn’t have an official announcement. Although that’s still the case, we essentially have confirmation at this point.
Amazon and GameStop have both put up listings for a physical version of WILL: A Wonderful World. Given their track records, it’s safe to say that it’s happening. We just need the news from PM Studios officially – which shouldn’t be too far away.
If Amazon and GameStop are to be believed, we’ll be seeing WILL: A Wonderful World on store shelves in Q1 2019. Both list a tentative March 26 release date.

When Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire was announced for Switch earlier this year, we heard that it would be out sometime this holiday. With just a couple of weeks remaining in the year, that target seemed much less likely.
Obsidian has now provided an update, confirming a new release window of 2019. Grip Digital is working on the port. When Pillars of Eternity II launches on Switch, it “will ship with all expansions, updates, and free DLC’s included at launch”.
