Nidhogg 2 confirmed for Switch

Last year, Messhof said Nidhogg 2 would make sense on Switch. It’s now happening, as the studio has announced that the game is bound for Nintendo’s console. It’s planned for sometime in 2018.

Messhof revealed the news on Twitter today:

Here’s more on Nidhogg 2, including a trailer:

The wurm has returned and it must feed! Shed your garments and paint the walls with the flesh of your enemies, for only one can be worthy of sacrifice.

The rules are simple. Reach the other side and kill anyone that stands in your way. Deftly parry and rend their throats, riddle their bowels with arrows, or squish their brains between your toes. The wurm cares not for chivalry.

Sequel to the indie hit of 2014, Nidhogg 2 builds upon the award-winning gameplay of its predecessor with new weapons to wield and levels to master, head-to-toe character customization, and the captivatingly grotesque art of Toby Dixon.

And, with music from artists including Mux Mool, Geotic, Doseone, Osborne, and Daedelus, Nidhogg 2 has a soundtrack so good that even the menu screens are awesome.
