Team17 is teaming up with developer Rekka Games to publish Bravery & Greed on Switch, the company announced today. The title will be available later in 2022.

An “E for Everyone” rating for a “Humongous Classic Collection” has just surfaced on the ESRB’s official site, as initially spotted by Gematsu. This could be hinting towards the release of a larger collection of Humongous Entertainment’s various titles on the system.
