Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition has been a long time coming on Switch. It was at the start of 2018 when we first heard about a possible port of the fighter, and a release on the console was officially confirmed last August.

While we knew that Rivals of Aether would land on Switch this summer, it seems that the team originally hoped to have the game ready sometime this month. That won’t happen in the end, but the final launch isn’t too far off. September is the new target and creator Dan Fornace says it will “announce as soon as we have a date locked in.”

Rivals of Aether is a very likely candidate for Switch. In a new blog post, creator Dan Fornace said that Switch is being prioritized. Right now, the team is “currently looking into developers who can help us port the game out of Game Maker Studio so we can release on the Switch.”

Originally released last year, Rivals of Aether is a fighting title “set in a world where warring civilizations summon the power of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.” Each Rival in the game can use classical elements and animal movement in battle.
