Digital Legends et son éditeur BlitWorks annoncent la sortie d’Afterpulse sur Switch. Le jeu de tir massivement multi sera disponible le 30 mars 2021 sur l’eShop de Nintendo.
Puisqu’il est vendu au prix de 19,99 €, les joueurs Switch auront l’avantage d’évoluer plus vite que sur mobile où il est gratuit. En effet, il sera plus rapide d’accéder au matériel pro que sur iOS et Android grâce au Nintendo Switch Fast Pass. Par ailleurs, l’éditeur précise qu’Afterpulse sera crossplay et qu’il permettra de jouer en ligne avec des joueurs sur mobile.
Pour rappel, Afterpulse prend la forme d’un TPS avec deux modes principaux : seul contre tous et match à mort en équipe de huit. Le titre est disponible depuis 2015 sur iOS et Android.
