Acclaimed indie adventure, Firewatch is coming to Nintendo Switch this Spring.Announced by developer Campo Santo , the Switch port doesn't appear to include any extra features, but there's a very nice picture of it being played next to some hiking boots, so that's something.There's no more specific release date beyond 'Spring' at time of writing.We awarded Firewatch a 9.3 review , saying it's "a game I can see coming back to every year or two just to revisit its beautiful sights and memorable characters – just like a good book." Now's our chance!Indie games have been performing rather well in Switch's first year on the market, and Nintendo recently revealed the top 10 best sellers . Campo Santo will be hoping it can crack that line-up too.
