CrossCode is definitely one of the most anticipated indie titles currently in the works for Nintendo Switch. Announced during the Switch Indie Highlights back in January, it was slated to be released sometime this year. However, it now seems like it might not make that target release. Developer Radical Fish Games responded to a fan on Twitter asking about the state of the game, stating that “It’s still being worked on. We may not make it this year, though.”. So, no official confirmation of a delay just yet, but it seems like fans will have to wait until next year to play CrossCode.
