LEGO Horizon Adventures was presented at the Summer Game Fest Showcase. The surprise wasn’t the game in and of itself, but rather the fact that it will arrive not only on PS5 and PC, but also on Nintendo Switch (no Xbox, however). While it’s not the first time for a Sony game (MLB The Show is multiplatform, for example) it’s still a curious choice given that PlayStation isn’t pushing to release its games on rival consoles.
The question therefore is: why will LEGO Horizon Adventures also arrive on Nintendo Switch?
Guerrilla Games explains why LEGO Horizon Adventures will also arrive on Nintendo Switch
James WindelerNarrative Director at Guerrilla Games, said: “When we approached this game, we wanted to make sure it was for everyone. This philosophy guided every creative decision, and brought [LEGO Horizon Adventures] on Nintendo Switch is part of this philosophy.”
“We are trying to approach the widest possible audience to this game and the franchise. And the Switch has a family-friendly audience, and it’s a really great way to expand.”
Windeler also talks about how he personally is looking forward to Try the game with friends and family across various platforms. “With this game I can play on the couch with my wife, I can play with my hardcore friends from Horizon on the other side of the world [online] and now I can also play with my granddaughters, who are 11 and 8 years old. In many of the games I’ve worked on I haven’t had the opportunity to play them, because our games are aimed at an older audience. I’m really excited to see how they relate to the humor and the protagonist Aloy and everything else.”
Finally, we leave you with the trailer for LEGO Horizon Adventures.
