About a week ago, the video game developer Gearbox Software posted an image on Twitter to promote its panel being held at PAX East 2019, with the picture havingteased something related toDuke NukemorBulletstorm.Now, the studio has officially followed through with its hint by confirming that the Nintendo Switch will be receivingBulletstorm: Duke of Switch Editionat some point during Summer 2019.
Essentially,Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Editionis going to be the same iteration of the first-person shooter’s remastered version dubbedBulletstorm: Full Clip Editionwhich released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in 2017. So, with this being the case, Nintendo Switch players will be able to experience the originalBulletstormpackaged with all of the game’s additional DLC, as well as the ability to play as Duke Nukem in the campaign.
At this point, there’s no telling exactly howBulletstorm: Duke of Switch Editionwill run on the Nintendo Switch. However, Gearbox declared during its PAX East 2019 panel that the studio was surprised at how well the game has been able to function on the Big N’s hybrid mobile console platform.
It’s worth noting that a recent report revealed that Nintendo has aSwitch “Pro” in the worksthat will offer a premium, enhanced experience. So, when that version of the hardware releases, perhapsBulletstorm: Duke of Switchwill be able to compete more closely withFull Clip Edition’s visuals.
All things considered, it will be interesting to see how many Nintendo Switch fans decide to scoop up a copy ofBulletstorm: Duke of Switch Editiononce it goes live for the hybrid mobile console later this year. At the very least, it’s good to see that People Can Fly and Gearbox will helping to continue building up the Switch’s library of games withBulletstorm’s first-person shooter action.
Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Editionis scheduled to release at some point in Summer 2019 for Nintendo Switch.
