Evolution Board Game due out for Switch in December

More than a year after it was originally announced, North Star Digital Studios has dated Evolution Board Game for Switch. It was originally expected to kick off the year, though we now have a final release date of December 10.

Here’s an overview of Evolution Board Game, along with a trailer:

Evolution, 2019’s Digital Board Game of the Year, has been rebuilt from the ground up with lightning quick Joy-Con support, making it the perfect platform for online play, pass and play, and board gaming on the go. Its robust features include everything players of digital board games could ask for:

– Master a single player campaign with 21 levels and distinct A.I. opponents
– Chat or start real time and asynchronous games from your friends list
– Find new opponents with skill-based online matchmaking
– Climb the online multiplayer rankings and single player progression ladder
– Keep cards close to the chest with pass and play optimized for Nintendo Switch
– Test yourself against weekly challenges
– Discover gorgeous hand-drawn species hidden throughout the game

Start from humble beginnings with an intuitive learn-while-playing tutorial and select traits to develop species to survive the harsh realities of the natural world. Are they at risk of being eaten by predators? Protect them with horns or a hard shell. Having trouble finding enough food in the watering hole? A long neck brings previously inaccessible food within reach.

Tinker with the nigh-infinite amount of genetic combinations while enjoying new artwork, animations, and a campaign mode complete with deadly bosses. Ascend the leaderboards and become the best digital board game biologist in the world, earning new avatars and other rewards. Cross-play with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android means there’s a whole world to play against.

Evolution Board Game will cost $19.99 on the Switch eShop. Pre-orders open today, and come with the new Evolutionary Arms Race Promo Pack add-on containing five brand new trait cards for free.
