Multiplayer third-person shooter Afterpulse coming to Switch this month

Today, Digital Legends and BlitWorks announced that they’re soon bringing Afterpulse to Switch. The multiplayer third-person shooter will be out on March 30.

Here’s an overview of Afterpulse, along with a trailer:

Nintendo Switch players will be transported into a post-apocalyptic urban battlefield and enjoy enhanced online matchmaking for live free-for-all battles and 8-player Team Deathmatch games. Using zone server technology, each match is made with optimal player experience in mind. Nintendo Switch players will be joining a player base of more than 20 million distributed across 160 countries that are already frequenting the mobile Android and iOS versions of the game thanks to the cross-platform support (requires an Internet connection and a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online to be played).

The main purpose of the Nintendo Switch Fast Pass is to provide an added value to console players, getting them the pro gear from the start. This awesome package that would cost hundreds on other platforms, will speed up the experience of getting into the game, hence the Fast Pass name. But make no mistake, the game remains skill-based and it will still be a long way until progressing and exploring the whole possibilities the game offers.

Existing mobile players will also find a great value in getting the Switch version. Aside from the great gaming hardware that the Nintendo Switch is, the included gear and progression will be useful even if they ever play on their mobile as well.

Afterpulse will cost $19.99 on the Switch eShop.
