Survival-horror roguelike The Persistence announced for Switch

The Persistence, a survival-horror roguelike that first appeared on PlayStation VR, is now making the jump to Switch. Publisher Perp Games and developer Firesprite Games have announced that it will launch on Nintendo’s console this summer.

The Persistence offers players a brutal take on survival-horror that integrates an innovative rogue-like design into the genre, with its forthcoming console and PC release marking the first time this chilling experience has hit the 4K flat screen.

In The Persistence, players are tasked with surviving on board a doomed deep space colony starship in the year 2521. Said ship is overrun with horrific and murderous aberrations that make their presence known as players explore, evade and fight their way through the depths of an ever-changing labyrinth to bring the ship back to Earth.

By taking the original VR release and adding support for flatscreen play, this fresh version of The Persistence heightens the tension thanks to enhanced environments and post-processing effects, all working seamlessly with tailored UI and controls.

The Persistence features:

A brutal take on the survival-horror genre that integrates rogue-like design elements to give the action an extra edge.

Procedurally generated stages that change with each playthrough, creating a labyrinth-like experience that adds to the tension.

Live, die, repeat. Play as dozens of different clones on board the ship, each one with the potential to be stronger than the last.

Tailored controls

The Persistence will be sold both physically and digitally on Switch. Firesprite Games will handle the digital version on its own.
