If a new ESRB rating is anything to go by, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is coming to Switch. A classification for the game was just added to Nintendo’s platform.
Back in May, Techland chief technical officer Pawel Rohleder teased that the company “might have a surprise for the Nintendo Switch later this year.” 2019 is quickly drawing to a close and this ESRB rating was just made known, so it’s looking almost like a lock that we’ll be seeing Call of Juarez: Gunslinger on Switch.

Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee got things started last year and allowed fans to experience the games on an actual television. Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are continuing the trend on Switch and will mark an entirely new generation that can be played on the big screen.
In the latest issue of Game Informer, producer Junichi Masuda was asked why it took so long for a Pokemon console game. He first noted the importance of maintaining an open experience in which players can connect with others in real-life, explaining:
