Developer and publisher Frogwares has released a new video which showcases upcoming release The Sinking City running on Nintendo Switch.

Narrated throughout, the new video is actually refreshingly open with how it explains exactly what has been happening behind the scenes. Frogwares says that this isn't just a standard port, with various tricks being deployed to ensure a smooth experience and new features specific to the Switch version being added - such as gyro aiming.

The game's producer, Serge Chervonnyi, has also shared the following statement in a press release:

"We did our best to optimize the game and ensure it runs at a stable 30 frames throughout. We also improved combat a bit to have more weight and feel. Weapons now have new gunshot sounds, improved recoil and new visual effects. We also did our best to improve the game from people's feedback. So things like crowd behavior and pedestrian AI has been tweaked along with all around additional levels of polishing and bug fixing.”

We're still waiting on that all-important release date, but we're expecting to hear about it pretty soon (the developer tells us the date will be "sooner rather than later"). In the meantime, make sure to check out our recent interview with the studio about the game's imminent release on Switch.
