Don't Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition

Update: Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition now has a listing on the North American store as well, unsurprisingly with the same April 12 date. Pricing is set at $19.99.


Original: Klei recently announced Mark of the Ninja Remastered. That’s not the only Switch game the studio has in the works, however.

Firewatch is coming to Switch, Campo Santo has announced. A release date hasn’t been determined just yet, but it’s due out soon.

Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery that takes place in the Wyoming wilderness. When it originally launched, the game received a great deal of praise.
