Publisher Dear Villagers and developer Nameless XIII announced Ashwalkers launches for Switch in March 2022.
While Ashwalkers launches for Switch on March 10th, the game is also being sold at retail by Meridiem Games, via its Survivor’s Edition (includes a special case, art book, and set of stickers).
“Ashwalkers is a melancholy narrative game offering an unprecedented amount of choice as players guide their party through its greyscale wasteland,” said Hervé Bonin, founder of Nameless XIII. “Its small, intimate scale makes it perfect for Switch, where you can hold it close to your face and easily put it in sleep mode for convenience. It’s such a good fit for Ashwalkers’ thoughtful, deliberately paced take on the survival genre.”
Ashwalkers: A Survival Journey has been available for Windows PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG) since April of this year.
Here’s a new trailer:
