The development of Pixel Noir goes on steadily and SWDTech now confirms the release date of the Nintendo Switch version of the game will be in April 2023!
The version for the Nintendo Switch Console will include every element introduced on PC, Xbox One and PS4, but you’ll be able to explore and survive Pinnacle City anywhere! As with the other versions of the game already announced, the game will have Spanish, French and German translations included on launch date.
Pixel Noir is a J-RPG with a visual style reminiscent of the greatest moment of 16-bit splendour, combining the best of the genre that was enjoyed in the 1990s and a Noir aesthetic that blends classic detective stories with elements of science fiction and steampunk.
Living on the streets of a shithole like Pinnacle City, there are only two things that keep you going: a pack of cigarettes and the feeling that there’s more to it than this.
There was something rotten in that old hospital. Sure, you were following your instincts that night, but those instincts got your partner and all those people killed. With only a temporary insanity defense and nothing to exonerate you, they threw the book at you.
For ten years, you were haunted by unanswered questions, frightened by what you saw and did. Now you’re a private eye, scraping by and operating out of a crummy apartment on the wrong side of town. One day, a strange case comes along, giving you an opportunity to clear your name once and for all. With your sanity at stake, how can you refuse?
