There’s no getting around it, Stardew Valley remains a huge hit on Nintendo Switch and continues to perform well in the eShops, and Chucklefish – the publisher behind the game – is hoping to replicate that success with its next game. A wizard school simulator with added exploration and a splash of dating. Cast your eyes on Spellbound.
The British publisher is also a developer, and it’s hoping Spellbound could potentially replicate the success of ConcernedApe’s indie darling on PC and consoles. Talking of formats, there’s also the potential for the game to magic up a port on Switch. In a recent interview with Red Bull, founder Finn Brice hinted that Nintendo’s handheld could well see a version of the game in future: “We’re all massive fans of the Switch at Chucklefish,” he says. “And would ideally see all of our major projects hitting the platform in the future.”
