A Nintendo Switch port of developer Giant Sparrow and publisher Annapurna Interactive’s surreal and emotional walking simulatorWhat Remains of Edith Finchhas been found listed on the Japanese Nintendo eShop and it looks set to drop next week, July 4. However, that hasn’t been officially confirmed by Annapurna Interactive as yet, but it seems as though fans of the award-winning first-person exploration game should be able to play it on the hybrid-console earlier than expected.
In the listing, it states thatWhat Remains of Edith Finchwill release on Switch in Japan for ¥2,200, which is around $20 USD and requires a 2.2 GB download. The Japanese version features English language support, so while we don’t have any confirmation of a western release heading our way at the moment, it’s expected that it’ll launch on western eShops too.
If you have yet to partake in the strange yet intriguing adventure ofWhat Remains of Edith Finch,here’s some information from the games official description:
“What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state. As Edith, you’ll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she’s the last one in her family left alive. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day.”
