Released last year as a PlayStation 4 exclusive was the latest game from Vanillaware, developers of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Dragon's Crown, and Odin Sphere. The game, titled 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, features a story set in a sci-fi world, with visual novel and real-time strategy elements. Atlus will be bringing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim to the Nintendo Switch next year, with a release date of April 14, 2022 for Japan. A western release has not been confirmed, but is likely, given it has already had a localization on PS4.

UPDATE: It'll be out in the west two days earlier than in Japan, on April 12th.

this game was designed for the ps4 which the switch doesn't even come close to matching. So i can just imagine the terrible fps now

But trailer is on West Atlus channel. Why would they announce it there if it's Japan only?
I guess this is worldwide release.

And trailer is using Japanese gameplay probably because they are redesigning UI and this will require adjusting English text, so for now they are not showing English gameplay.

Hmm yeah lets downwater a ps4 title ... to make it 'work' on Nintendo Switch. ... Great idea ...

It looks like a pretty cool game and I can understand why they would want to port it and allow more people to experience it. I would always wait for a review for a port to learn about performance issues, but I'd rather comment on the trailer itself.

 

[Something whatever]

Awesome

I've been thinking of getting this sometime in the future, good news!

It was going to be a PS Vita game at some point so it will be a-ok on the Switch.

I'm just here for the salt from the comments tbh.

Waiting for the "It's gonna run like shit on Switch!" comments

 

[jornthree]

I could have sworn this was already on the switch. Did anyone else think that, or am I just crazy?

 

[coregee]

This was also announced for the vita when it was first shown but we know what happened there. I don't think hardware is gonna be an issue.

 

[Valwinz]

will flop like the other atlus ports

It was not designed for a specific console. It was just made (with the Vita in mind) and now it's gonna be ported.

I haven't played it yet but I have heard this game is an absolute gem.

 

[Glyptofane]

Awesome, I still need to play the PS4 version I bought quite a while back. I'm not that into visual novels, but am that into Vanillaware.

Best Atlus game Ive ever played. Hopefully it runs well.

I mean I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Vanillawares other games ran great on the vita. And while this game seems to be more graphically intensive, I don’t see why the switch can’t handle it well. I got Catherine full body, another atlus port on switch and it runs great, and that’s fully 3D with tons of post processing. So I have faith that it’s gonna be atleast decent.
