EA and Hazelight Studios have made it official that It Takes Two is heading to Switch. A release is planned for November 4.
The game, one of the most acclaimed titles of last year, was rumored for Nintendo’s console earlier in the month. A port was made official during a Nintendo Direct just moments ago.
Hazelight Studios boss Josef Fares was actually asked about It Takes Two for Switch back in February 2021. He said at the time that there weren’t any plans, indicating that “it takes a lot of effort to make this work on the old-gen consoles, because there’s so much going on.” In the end though, a Switch version was made possible.
We have more information about It Takes Two below for those that need a recap.
