While much of the interview talks about what fans of the series can expect from the new game, and therefore won&#8217;t be of great use to any Switch-exclusive players, one question asks Phillips directly about the chances of a Switch version. You can check out his response at around the 6:07 mark.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unable to watch the video, or prefer your content in written form, here&#8217;s how the short but sweet question went down:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Game Informer: &#8220;Could this come to Switch?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Phillips: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to program, so, otherwise I would do it myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The chances of a game like Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey appearing on Switch are relatively thin, as any game with such high-end visuals would need some heavy tinkering to arrive on the portable console.
