The online story RPG The Legend of Heroes: Akatsuki no Kiseki Mobile will launch for Switch in Japan on August 27, an eShop listing reveals. It was previously confirmed for release this summer without a specific date.
Originally, The Legend of Heroes: Akatsuki no Kiseki arrived on PC. Userjoy Japan then ported the game to mobile, which is what the Switch version is based on.
