Will The Red Solstice 2 Survivors launch on Nintendo Switch?

The camera in The Red Solstice 2 Survivors is positioned from the top. Such games are playable on PC with ease so most of them launch on PC. However, many of the top-down perspective games also launch on consoles. The Red Solstice 2’s release date for PC is confirmed i.e. 17 June, 2021 but is it possible to play the game on Nintendo Switch? It is confirmed that the game will not release on Switch at launch but yes, it may release on Switch in future.

 

Why developers / publishers release games on a single platform:

There could be multiple reasons behind releasing games on one or a few platforms at release. One of the reasons could be the budget. Game development needs lots of budget. Publishers also advertise their games which need more budget. The total budget for a game is sometimes too much for the publishers so they release games on one or a few platforms first. Then it is time to recover money by selling the game copies. Soon they earn profit on their initial investment & often game developers start working on the game again & develop it for more platforms. Every platform has their own requirements like PC games should be optimized to use mouse & keyboard, & should meet the requirements of PC because specifications of consoles are higher than PC, & there are multiple consoles like Xbox, PlayStation & Nintendo Switch, & each of them have their own specs. Building a game for a different platform is a tough job even if developers have already made every game asset including art, graphics, gameplay, etc.

It needs more time to build a game for multiple platforms. Developers need to meet deadlines too. Development teams usually hurry up with their development process, so they do not consider every platform when working on a new game.

Update:

I just checked the bio of Ironward, & I discovered that the development team is small & so far, they have developed only 3 games. Their first game, The Red Solstice released in 2010, then Solstice Chronicles MIA released in 2017, & The Red Solstice 2 Survivors released in 2021. The Red Solstice launched on PC only, but Solstice Chronicles MIA first released on PC then it released on Nintendo Switch in 2019 so may be The Red Solstice 2 Survivors also launches on Nintendo Switch. The first game Red Solstice only released on PC, but its spin-off (second game in the series) Solstice Chronicles MIA launched on Switch platform so may be the third game in the series “The Red Solstice 2 Survivors” also make its way to the Nintendo Switch in future.

 

Conclusion:

We are hopeful that the third game in the series, The Red Solstice 2 Survivors may release on Nintendo Switch because the second game “Solstice Chronicles MIA” launched on Switch in 2019. Keep checking this article for more updates about this topic.
