Update: Unfortunately, Link will not in the final game – and that’s likely why Engadget has now pulled its video. Link was leftover from testing and has been scrapped from the final release.


Original: One of the features of Diablo III Eternal Collection on Switch is some Zelda-inspired content. Blizzard announced a few bonus items, including a Ganondorf armor set.

It’s only natural that Link will also be in the game. We don’t have the full details on this just yet, but Engadget shows off the character’s look in the game below.

Original: A short while ago, Forbes posted an article with an apparent report on Diablo III – Eternal Collection for Switch. It was removed shortly after, though its full contents were captured online.

Overwatch

Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan was asked about the possibility of bringing the shooter to Switch last year. At the time, he explained that there would be some challenges in making that happen.

A year later, senior game producer Matthew Hawley has also been asked as to whether or not we could see Overwatch on Nintendo’s console one day. Hawley acknowledged the popularity of the system, but like Kaplan, noted that challenges would be involved. He did start out by saying that it’s something the team is constantly evaluating.

Hearthstone for Switch is a topic that seems to come up every so often. Over the past year or so, Blizzard has been asked about the possibility a few times. The responses have varied slightly, but ultimately the answer given is that there aren’t any plans.

Hearthstone game director Ben Brode reiterated as such during an interview at PAX East 2018 this past weekend. After acknowledging that it’s “possible,” Brode quickly added that the team doesn’t “have any plans to do that.” He indicated that fans can play on mobile or tablets despite being a “big fan” of Switch himself.
