Kemco putting Fernz Gate on Switch

Kemco will have a new fantasy RPG ready to go on Switch soon. Fernz Gate is due out on August 23, according to a Japanese eShop listing.

Here’s an overview, along with a trailer:

After awaking in some unfamiliar woods, Alex, an ordinary high schooler living an ordinary life, learns he has somehow ended up in Fernland, a world where peace and order have been replaced by conflict and destruction.
Fighting to defend himself from monsters, the ever-ominous threat of the Overlord, and one chaotic event after another as he tries to find his own place in this new world, Alex comes across a young woman by the name of Lita from a peaceful world like his own.

Hitting it off, they soon become friends and set out together, but what hidden truth awaits them as their adventure begins to unfold…?

Features
– Join forces with buddies and fight! You may even encounter some familiar faces!
– Take advantage of the Secret House and dispatch buddies to collect items or place them on stands to gain special-effects!

The eShop listing confirms English support, so Fernz Gate may very well be released on the same day in the west.
