Midnight Status looking to make Swap Fire 2 for Switch
Posted on May 8, 2017 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
A couple of months ago, Swap Fire was offered entirely free on the Wii U eShop. This was intentional, as Midnight Status was looking to raise awareness for the game.
The shooter has sold under 500 paid copies on Wii U since its debut. When it was made free though, it was downloaded 20,000 times. Midnight Status isn’t completely done with Swap Fire as another update is planned. At the same time, the indie developer is starting to shift its attention to the future.
By making Swap Fire free, Midnight Status is winning over new fans, some of whom have shown interest in buying the game for Switch. The studio says investors have been impressed, but want market validation for Swap Fire 2 to ensure that it’ll see solid sales on Switch. Midnight Status is therefore planning a “short but sweet” Kickstarter campaign, which if successful, will have its remaining funds sourced from investors.
