Press release:
Sheffield – UK, 11th August, 2021.
The US-based video games publisher/developer Skybound Games and the UK-based indie games developer Boneloaf, today announced with great joy and excitement that their physics-based multiplayer game “Gang Beasts” is coming digitally to the Nintendo Switch this September (2021)! With a Nintendo Switch physical edition to follow on December 7, 2021.
After a number of years brawling across multiple digital platforms and trucking onto physical storefronts, Gang Beasts finally launches on Nintendo Switch with 21 hazardous stages, hundreds of colourful costume customisations, and multiple local, online, and local wireless multiplayer game modes.
“The Nintendo Switch is a platform we’ve wanted to support since the hardware was announced” said Michael Brown from Boneloaf, creators and publishers of Gang Beasts.
“Nintendo consoles have always had fun local multiplayer party games, and seeing Gang Beasts on a Nintendo Switch and hearing the little beasts giggle as something horrific is happening to them is a dream come true!”
Boneloaf has partnered with Skybound Games to release a physical edition of Gang Beasts for Nintendo Switch, which will include a randomized and exclusive collectible sticker sheet, at global retail this year on December 7th.
Gang Beasts will be available for digital download from the Nintendo eShop for $29.99 / €29,99 / £24.99. More details for the physical edition, including pricing and pre-order information, will be announced at a later date.
Fans are encouraged to follow Gang Beasts on Twitter or visit https://gangbeasts.game/posts for updates, including to be notified when the physical edition is available to pre-order.
