Update 2: tinyBuild made this official during its presentation. No set release date just yet.
Update: Bumped to the top. This is now up on Amazon as well.
Original: Later today, tinyBuild will be hosting a presentation to announce six new games for Switch. Best Buy seems to have spoiled at least one of the surprises, as the retailer is listing Hello Neighbor for Nintendo’s console. Pre-orders are open here.
Hello Neighbor has actually been rumored for Switch previously, so perhaps this shouldn’t be much of a surprise after all. In any case, we’ll report back later with tinyBuild’s full slate of announcements.
As for Hello Neighbor itself, it’s a stealth horror game in which you’re tasked with sneaking into your neighbor’s house to find out what horrible secrets he’s hiding in the basement. We have a few more details and a trailer below.
For those who missed out on it the first time, you can order the Bayonetta Special Edition from Amazon Germany once again. Pre-orders are up here. In case you’re curious, this does ship to the US.
The Bayonetta Special Edition includes Bayonetta 2 on a game card, a download code for Bayonetta, a steelbook, and Bayonetta-themed stickers and Verse Cards.
In about an hour from now, tinyBuild will be kicking off a #HelloSwitch presentation. The company is expected to make six Switch announcements – one of which should be Hello Neighbor.
You can watch the broadcast starting at roughly 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe. We’ll also be sharing all of the news on the site.
