Light Fall is in development for Switch, Bishop Games announced today. The 2D platformer will be available in March 2018. Those who are attending the Tokyo Game Show this week can try out the first playable build in the Indie Game Area.
Here’s the premise of Light Fall:
In Light Fall, overcome platformer-based challenges by harnessing the power of the Shadow Core, a magical box beneath your feet that can be summoned at any time to propel yourself in the air. With Stryx the Night Owl as your companion and narrator, explore the forgotten world of Numbra where darkness prevails over light to embark on a quest to save its inhabitants and uncover a mysterious past. As you wander through the calm night of the Lunar Plain, venture into the Marshlands of Sorrow and face the exotic wildlife of the Vipera’s Forest, there you’ll encounter many outlandish characters, be it friends or foe. Do you have what it takes to survive?
We have a rundown of Light Fall’s main features below. You can also find the first trailer attached.

As many of you know, Mojang is currently cooking up a big “Better Together” update for Minecraft. The update will allow for some significant functionality, including cross-play so that users on platforms like Switch and Xbox One can play together. Other features are also planned with Mojang bringing the Bedrock Engine to Switch and other systems.
One interesting part of Better Together is that the Halo Mash-Up Pack will be playable on all platforms supporting the Bedrock Engine. Since Switch is included, that means the DLC will be available on Nintendo’s console.
Minecraft developer Aubrey Norris confirmed on Twitter:
This is super cool – the Halo Mashup pack and skins will be playable on ALL Bedrock Engine platforms; not just Xbox! #BetterTogether
