Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive have announced that they will “strengthen their collaboration,” and that bodes well for Nintendo Switch gamers. Along with starting up two ambitious new projects, the studios will work together to develop Switch ports of Call of Cthulhu and Vampyr. The two titles—respectively developed on consoles and PC by Cyanide Studio and DONTNOD Entertainment—will both be produced by Saber for a release on Nintendo Switch later this year.
Call of Cthulhu
Plunge into Cyanide Studio’s Call of Cthulhu, the official Cthulhu videogame inspired by Chaosium’s classic pen and paper RPG. Uncover the chilling mysteries of this RPG-investigation game, descending deep into a world of cosmic horrors, creeping madness, and shrouded Old Gods within Lovecraft’s iconic universe.
