Last month, All In! Games and 505 Games released the cyberpunk action-platformer game called Ghostrunner to the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Originally, Ghostrunner was also scheduled to release to the Switch on the same day, but developers confirmed at the last minute that it would be delayed on Nintendo's hybrid platform.
Initially, All In! Games only mentioned that a release window of November 2020 for Ghostrunner. Now, the studio just confirmed the exact release date of Ghostrunner on the Nintendo Switch, which will fall on November 10, 2020. To those unfamiliar with the game, Ghostrunner puts players in the role of a sword-wielding assassin who is on a mission to hunt and kill The Keymaster.
Additionally, the Switch version of Ghostrunner is designed to take advantage of the technology of the console with optimized controls that deliver a smooth experience and gameplay. Developers also explained that the reason why the Switch version was delayed is that the studio needed more time to ensure that Switch players get "the best experience possible." Players who are interested to get the Ghostrunner on the Switch should know that All In! Games is offering in-game bonuses of two exclusive Katanas for those who purchase the game until December 10th.
Lastly, Ghostrunner will also be available on next-gen consoles sometime in 2021 at no additional cost to current-gen owners. To be clear, this means that players who have already purchased the game on the PS4 and Xbox One won't have to pay for the game again should they decide to upgrade to the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Ghostrunner is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with the Switch version releasing on November 10 and next-gen editions in 2021.
