Disco Elysium Releases On Nintendo Switch October 12

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut arrives on Nintendo Switch on October 22, Nintendo announced during today's Nintendo Direct. At launch, the game will only be available to purchase digitally on the eShop. A physical edition for Switch is slated to launch in early 2022.

Disco Elysium was first released back in 2019, and we named it one of the year's best games. Following its PC-only release, the game was ported to PS4, PS5, and Stadia earlier this year alongside the launch of The Final Cut, an expanded version of the game. This added full voice acting, among other new content.

The narrative-focused detective RPG earned a rare 10/10 in our Disco Elysium review. "Disco Elysium is a mad, sprawling detective story where the real case you've got to crack isn't who killed the man strung up on a tree in the middle of town--though that in itself, replete with dozens of unexpected yet intertwined mysteries and wild excursions into the ridiculous, is engrossing enough to sustain the game," critic David Wildgoose wrote. "Rather, it’s an investigation of ideas, of the way we think, of power and privilege, and of how all of us are shaped, with varying degrees of autonomy, by the society we find ourselves in."
