The Pathless physical

Original (2/14): The Pathless recently launched for Switch on the eShop, and it’s now been announced that a physical version is on the way. This comes from iam8bit and distribution partner Skybound Games, together with publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer Giant Squid Studios.

The iam8bit Exclusive Edition will include a bounty of extra goodies, including a reversible cover sheet, set of six exclusive art cards, and a giant foldout poster featuring Hunter and The Eagle set amongst a mystical landscape displaced by the curse of a great darkness. The base retail edition contains a set of six art cards along with the physical disc—perfect for those looking for a nice bonus in their physical games. Emmy Award winner Elaine Lee designed all cover art.

You may recall that The Pathless landed on Switch just this month. We have some information about it below.

From the creators of ABZÛ, The Pathless is the mythic adventure of an archer and an eagle in a vast forest.

Become the Hunter, a master of archery who travels to a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness that grips the world. Forge a connection with your eagle companion and soar through the air. Perform fluid acrobatics and execute awesome trick shots with a unique archery system that allows effortless shooting while moving at high speeds.

Forge your own path through a beautiful open world packed with secrets to find. Traverse misty forests, lush meadows and snowy tundras. Discover the dark history of the island as you solve puzzles in ancient ruins and unearth long-forgotten secrets.

Giant corrupted spirits lurk in the woods. Use all your skill to hunt them down, but be careful not to become the hunted yourself. Engage in epic battles against the cursed beasts to restore light to the land. The bond with your eagle and the fate of the world hang in the balance.

The physical version for The Pathless on Switch arrives on April 18, 2023. Fans can preorder the iam8bit Exclusive Edition and base retail edition for $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 at iam8bit.com and global retailers.
