We\u2019ve been able to create something new from the strong background that we established with our previous game, Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas, and Oceanhorn 2 is our love letter to the games that we grew up with, combining that beloved nostalgia with exciting new mechanics to give it an original spin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Original Story [Thu 25th Jun, 2020 10:30 BST]:<\/strong> Cornfox &amp; Brothers <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/oceanhorn_monster_of_uncharted_seas\">Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas<\/a><\/strong> has already been pretty successful on smartphones and the Switch, and when the developer announced it was creating a sequel, fans were understandably keen.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/oceanhorn_2_knights_of_the_lost_realm\">Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm<\/a><\/strong> has been exclusive to Apple Arcade for a while \u2013 it was one of the key titles which launched the subscription-based service \u2013 which means that Switch-owning fans have been locked out.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like that is about to change, however. In a newsletter sent out by Cornfox &amp; Brothers, it is strongly hinted that the game will be coming to Switch soon:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since Hero took a holiday, and on August 11th, we&#8217;re sending him off to Kyoto to relax and meet some friends.
