Platinum Games’ Astral Chain announced for Nintendo Switch

Astral Chain was today announced for Nintendo Switch in today’s Nintendo Direct.

The high intensity action game looks to feature two-player co-op combat and is in development by none other than Platinum Games. Hideki Kamiya of The Wonderful 101 looks to be overseeing the project, while Takahisa Taura of NieR:Automata is directing.

“As part of a police special forces unit in a multicultural futuristic city, players work together with a special living weapon, the Legion, in a synergetic action system of battle and exploration,” Nintendo said of the game in a press release.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
