You probably heard of the award-winning Disco Elysium right? Well, it looks like you’ll be able to take it with you on the go in the future!
During BBC 5live’s ‘Game On’ podcast, the game’s art director Aleksander Rostov slyly revealed that a Nintendo Switch port of the RPG was now in the works – joking that the interview was delaying his work:
This interview is, at this very moment, interrupting me from writing up design documentation for the user interface and input systems for the Switch port.
This was followed up by narrative lead Helen Hindpere, who promised that the game’s Nintendo Switch release is “going to happen soon”.
