A French Wholesale has listed The Witcher III: Wild Hunt for Nintendo Switch which could mean that the title might be heading to Nintendo’s flagship console. The seller lists the release date of December 31, 2019.
The Witcher III is one of the best critically-acclaimed RPG titles of this generations and the prospect of it coming on Nintendo Switch has been around for quite some time. However, the chances were pretty slim because The Witcher III is a very demanding game and Nintendo Switch lacks the necessary hardware for running the game decently.
There is no officially announcement at the moment on this except the listing of the game on the French wholesaler who goes by the name of WTT.biz. Since there is no official word on this at this point, it is best if we simply treat this as a rumor and nothing more than that. Although if it is true, this will be a big achievement for the developer.
The Witcher III is a very demanding game when it comes to visuals and we can only imagine how much the game will need to be degraded both visually and gameplay wise in order to bring it to the much weaker Nintendo Switch. We have seen many AAA titles heading to Nintendo Switch such as Skyrim and Wolfenstein II but The Witcher III will be a really big achievement if this is indeed happening.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is the final title in The Witcher franchise and it was released back in 2015 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. All these platforms are solid performers when it comes to visuals and framerates but Nintendo lacks in power in front of these consoles which sets it back despite having some really awesome titles.
Most of the developers are now developing Switch versions of their games but Switch’s hardware is limiting a lot of great titles to be released to it and most developers do not want to go that extra mile in optimizing the game for it. If CD Projekt Red manages to pull this off, it will give other developers a push to bring their titles to Nintendo Switch.
At this point, there is no confirmation on this officially and we will treat this as simply a rumor until a solid intel is released on this news. Here is the link of the official Nintendo Switch listing on WTT.biz.
