<p>Team Alto has announced that it will be bundling its award-winning games <strong>Alto’s Adventure</strong> and <strong>Alto’s Odyssey</strong> into one complete package, launching them on Switch as <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/alto_collection">The Alto Collection</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The Alto games have you setting off on an endless snowboarding journey through beautiful landscapes such as villages, ancient woodlands, and long-abandoned ruins. The areas you explore are procedurally-generated, and it’s said to feature “fluid, graceful and exhilarating physics-based” gameplay.</p>
<p>Here’s an official description:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>The Alto Collection</em> brings both the critically acclaimed and beloved <em>Alto’s Adventure</em> and <em>Alto’s Odyssey</em> into one experience for the first time. A whole new group of players will finally be able to see what millions of others have discovered as they explore the ivory snows and the endless desert on the big screen in one collection.</p>
<p>Join mountain shepherd Alto and friends as they set out to rescue their escaped llamas and find the adventure of a lifetime. In this collection, you will journey across the beautiful alpine hills of their native wilderness and soar above windswept dunes in a fantastical place far from home. Each procedurally-generated run provides new inspiration and a fresh set of challenges that seamlessly blends our unique landscapes together.</p>

<p>“It’s such a thrill to see how far Alto has come from his humble beginnings,” says Harry Nesbitt, Alto’s lead artist and developer. “Even though Adventure started out life on a tiny screen, we’ve always believed the minimalist and immersive sensibilities of both games translate wonderfully to PC and consoles. We’re so happy to finally get this opportunity to share our games with a wider audience.”</p>
<p>The collection launches on other consoles on 13th August for $9.99, and will “soon follow” on Nintendo Switch. We’ll keep an eye out for more news on the Switch release over the coming weeks.</p>
