We haven’t heard too much about the Switch version of Portal Knights as of late, but the game’s Twitter account did post an update today.
When Portal Knights hits Switch, local multiplayer will be supported. You’ll be able to play with up to three others without an internet connection. Also, you can even activate split screen as part of it.
505 Games has not yet announced a release date for Portal Knights on Switch, but it’s coming along at the very least.

The Bloodstained confirmed on the game’s forums that Inti Creates left the main project last E3, though they’re still on board for the “prequel mini-game.” DICO has since taken over Inti Create’s role. ArtPlay is also still the main developer.
Here’s the update on Inti Creates and the overall development team:

That seemed like the plan back in 2016. However, creator Koji Igarashi has now said that a definitive decision has not been made. It’s something that’s being considered, and though the approach has certain benefits, “it’s something we’ll have to discuss later.”
Igarashi told Apptrigger:
