Publisher Incube8 Games, along with developer Mike Yamato, has announced that the open-world adventure 2021: Moon Escape will be released digitally on Switch. It recently had a physical cartridge run on the Game Boy as well – which makes sense given the aesthetic.
2021: Moon Escape takes place in a galaxy devastated by an unprecedented war. The game has you playing as Tars Nunien, “a paladin of the Marked Brotherhood, whose only mission is to return the enemy war plans to the capital planet Astra Nova in the hope of organizing the last desperate defense against the terrible Kisur Barbarians.”
