This, and the acquisition of a publisher which already has experience of releasing games on Switch, seems like a very positive forward step; a release date hasn&#8217;t been set just yet, but fans and backers are being regularly updated on the game&#8217;s progress.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn a little more (and see it running on Switch) in this video update below, which was shared before Soedesco was announced as the game&#8217;s publisher.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jZYS_e7kgdY?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Did you back this game last year?
