We just learned during the Nintendo Direct that several Xbox games were officially coming to Switch. The wait will finally be able to end.
In accordance with what was announced, the Nintendo Direct took place this February 21, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. This time, it’s a Partner Showcase. In short, this means that the event is dedicated to productions from third-party publishers coming during the first half of 2024. So, could we expect any big surprises? Well, obviously the answer is yes. We learned that several Xbox titles were going to make their debut on the Switch.
Pentiment is coming to Nintendo Switch, as planned
The Nintendo Direct therefore confirmed a rumor that had been lingering on the Web for quite some time. There are two Xbox exclusives that will arrive on the Big N console. Phil Spencer’s announcement made gamers’ mouths water, but we didn’t have any names to sink our teeth into. The media The Verge had mentioned Pentiment, and he clearly hit the nail on the head. It will be entitled to a port on Switch on February 22, 2024. The title from Obsidian Entertainment takes you through a captivating adventure in 16th century Europe, and we invite you not to miss it on the portable console.
We are focused on these four games and we will learn from this experience. We don’t have anything planned at this time for other franchises. But to say that something will never be done, I think that comes down to creating more certainty in an industry where we really want to respond to what the players and our developers want.
