Publisher Playism and indie Japanese developer KOTAKE CREATE announced a Switch 2 version for The Exit 8, their breakout hit thriller game.
The Exit 8 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this month, on August 29th. The new port will come with improved framerates, as well as new anomalies for you to discover. The new anomalies will be added to the other versions later.
The mystery/thriller game has been available for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android. Check out our review here!
Here’s a rundown on the game:
The Exit 8 is a short but sweet walking simulator inspired by Japanese underground passageways, liminal spaces, and the Backrooms.
The game has sold over 1.9 million copies worldwide, and its anomaly-spotting gameplay has influenced the genre significantly, effectively creating a new subgenre.
Don’t overlook any anomalies. If you find anomalies, turn back immediately. If you don’t find anomalies, do not turn back. To go out from Exit 8.
You are trapped in an endless underground passageway. Observe your surroundings carefully to reach “The Exit 8”.
Apart from resolution and frame rate improvements, new anomalies will also be added to the game to commemorate the release of the movie adaptation on the same day.
These new anomalies will also soon be added to the Nintendo Switch and Steam versions of the game in a free update, and will also be added for free to the PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android versions in the near future.
