E3 2018: Limited Run Games announces 8 physical releases and 2 new games for Switch

Switch support for days

E3 has been a little light on Switch announcements so far, but this morning Limited Run Games knocked it out of the park, with the announcement of eight(!!!) physical editions, two of which are for games that are brand new to Switch. Check them out below!

New Games

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Dust: An Elysian Tail is an action adventure/platformer game from one-man development team Humble Hearts. It’s been released on pretty much every platform, and now it’s finally coming to Switch. The physical release date has yet to be confirmed, but the game is scheduled to release digitally “within the next month or two,” according to the Q&A that followed the show.

Cosmic Star Heroine

Cosmic Star Heroine is a fresh take on the classic RPG formula, channelling the likeness of games like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger. Developed by California-based indie developer Zeboyd Games, it released on PS4 and PC last year, and it’s finally making its way over to the Switch. It will be released on the eShop in August, with the physical release date not yet known — though preorders are apparently coming soon.
