Eldest Souls getting a physical release on Switch

Limited Run Games will soon be offering a physical version of Eldest Souls on Switch, the company has announced. Only a standard version is planned – there are no special editions.

Eldest Souls was announced in March 2020 and made its debut on Switch last July. Up until now, the game has only been sold digitally on the eShop.

Here’s some information about Eldest Souls:

Eldest Souls now includes ‘Depths of the Forgotten’: a free, major expansion which introduces a new and perilous region, three new bosses, a selection of special weapons, a weapon customisation system, and an all-new, obliterating ability.

Following centuries of servitude, Man finally rebelled against the Old Gods, imprisoning these colossal calamities within the sacred walls of the Citadel. But an evil stirred within…

In a final act of vengeance, the Old Gods have unleashed a great Desolation upon the world. Mankind is fading, with but a glimmer of hope remaining.

Heavy is the burden that lies on one lone Warrior. Armed with a greatsword… of the purest Obsydian.

Challenging Combat: Fast-paced and challenging Soulslike combat awaits, where every moment counts. Yet fortune favors the bold, and defeating the Old Gods may grant the player powers beyond mortal comprehension.

Boss Brutality: Eldest Souls focuses on the toughest and most engaging of combat encounters – the Bosses! – with each Old God presenting a new and unique challenge for the player to overcome… with fitting rewards for those who triumph!

An Ancient Kingdom: As you explore the labyrinthine passages, in search of the Old Gods, you’ll encounter intriguing NPCs, compelling questlines, and a series of dark and ominous mysteries. Slowly uncover the truth behind the Old Gods and their agelong imprisonment…

Pixel Perfection: Bask in the pixel perfection of the consecrated Citadel, dripping in gorgeous 16-bit attention-to-detail. But don’t gaze too long. This monument of Human triumph has long been forgotten, and something dark has taken root deep within.

Your Build. Your Rules: Every encounter with the Old Gods presents its own unique challenge… and rewards. Claim their celestial powers to unlock a vast array of unique Talents and Abilities, ready to customize your own combat style from a multitude of combinations.
