Chernobylite receiving Nintendo Switch physical release

Chernobylite is set to receive a physical release on Nintendo Switch. This is the latest Limited Run Games announcement, and the company shared the news today.

Fans will have just a standard option to pick up – there will be no special editions. This marks the first time that the title is being made available in boxed form on Nintendo Switch.

Chernobylite originally came to the Nintendo eShop in December. Below is an official overview:

Chernobylite is a Science Fiction Survival Horror RPG from developers The Farm 51. Venture into the wasteland of Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone, as Igor, a physicist and ex-employee of the Chernobyl Power Plant. Return to Pripyat to investigate the mysterious disappearance of your fiancée, 30 years after the infamous disaster.

Battle it out with hostile military forces, other scavengers, mutated creatures, and the harsh irradiated environment. Experience an adventure of survival, conspiracy, horror, love, and obsession where your choices impact the story.

Chernobylite Premium Edition includes:

• The full base game
• All free content updates to date, including extra story missions, new locations, additional weapons, unique game modes, and more
• Digital downloads of the official Chernobylite Soundtrack and Artbook
• The Seasoned Scavenger and Irradiated Hideout DLC skin packs for your weapons and hideout

Build and customize your home base to serve all your operations and expeditions. Expand and upgrade to suit your needs and those of your companions. Use workstations to craft powerful gadgets, traps, and weapons, or fine-tune your existing gear to gain an edge in your excursions.

Recruit a diverse group of skilled companions to join you on your journey. Assign them to missions to gather resources, scout new areas, or eliminate threats. Manage your base to meet their needs and keep morale high, all while making tough story choices that will shape their loyalty to you.

Survival in The Exclusion Zone is tough, as each day brings fresh challenges and diminishing supplies. Venture out on supply runs, use stealth to evade detection, or engage in intense combat when necessary. Navigate through perilous environments and face formidable enemies, all while ensuring you extract back to base to keep your scavenged loot.

No playthrough is the same. Your choices and actions shape your story, but no decision will satisfy everyone. Choose carefully whom to trust, whether to prioritize resources for survival or research and when to face conflicts head-on or avoid them. Every decision carries weight and leads to different outcomes.

The Chernobylite physical release for Nintendo Switch goes up for pre-order via Limited Run Games on February 28, 2025 here. Information about other physical games coming from the company can be found here.
