Ubisoft's official website has revealed it is bringing digitalised versions of the popular board games Risk and Trivial Pursuit to the Switch eShop on 30th October.
Trivial Pursuit Live! will let players take each other on in versus mode and with up to three friends in the local multiplayer mode. It's got 1,800 up-to-date questions and 650 kid-friendly questions. Risk boasts improved pacing and a new top-down view. Both games also include graphical, UI and online enhancements - as well as Switch exclusive touchscreen features.
As part of this announcement, Ubisoft revealed the Hasbro Game Night physical compilation for Nintendo Switch - arriving on the same date. This release contains three games in one. That's the above-mentioned titles along with the existing Switch release Monopoly, which first arrived last year.
Do you enjoy a game of Risk or Trivial Pursuit from time to time? Are you looking forward to the three-in-one Hasbro Game Night physical release on Switch? Or will you be opting with the digital versions instead? Tell us in the comments below.

Did they ever patch Monopoly? I seem to remember people saying at launch it was glitched so you couldn't actually finish a game.
@link3710 Yes, they did.
@link3710 It worked perfectly fine for me only a couple weeks past launch. What gets me is, why did I pay full price last year, if there were just gonna bundle it this quick and at a cheaper price...
I liked the Monopoly demo. It looked pretty good, but the mandatory patch made me skip it. If this is the patched version, along with Risk (wow!!) and Trivial Pursuit (just a bonus for me) then count me in.
Another Casual games again from Ubisoft on my Birthday (30 October 2018) ?
But, unfortunately i'm not interested with Monopoly and those Puzzle / Quiz games.
I do enjoy a game of Risk every now and again.
Hmm... I love a good game of Trivial Pursuit. But I've been burned with video game versions before which are heavily focused on North American knowledge.
This means a lot to my family. Since I disliked my Xbox so much, this would be the only game we played on it.
@Heavyarms55 Same reason Capcom released Street Fighter 2 and then the following year released it as part of a Street Fighter package. Corporate greed.
Wii U didn't get these games, because UBI Stopped releasing games for mature people on Wii U. This is not a joke.
I thought this is the video game of that movie Game Night. Pfff....
Waiting for something worth from Ubisoft....
Sounds great
I have monopoly so no sale on this game for me.
I'd prefer to have some modern boardgame like Caylus, Caverna, Keyflower, Mage Knight and so on instead of these washed out licenses.
@link3710 yes, it's ok now. i haven't any problems
Kinda wish this was what came out last year. No sale for me.
My girlfriend has Monopoly already but I can't pass up getting a physical copy.
@gurtifus Agreed, and we could do with those on the Switch! Pandemic and Catan are on the way already, I think.
Needs Scrabble to bring it up to par with the PS4/Xbox One release.
It's rather annoying that the Xbox 360 download is still a more definitive version, since it came with seven games and you could add three more with DLC; no release past that has come with more than five.
Yes, Ubisoft! This and Just Dance is exactly what Switch owners have been waiting for! Add in moving to Japan to play AC: Odyssey on Switch and this is just a banner year!
Awesome news. I'm really looking forward to Trivial Pursuit, but why is it limited to just four players?!
The ability to add our own questions would also be pretty neat.
So... there's no point in having the first Monopoly now? 🙃
It should be noted that these games are also going to be released on the eShop individually, so people who already own Monopoly (like me) and don't mind not having a physical copy can buy Risk or Trivial Pursuit by itself so you don't have to rebuy Monopoly again.
Was just playing the Xbox One version of Trivial Pursuit today and wondered if/when they would do this. Nice coincidence. Would be nice if its not just a direct port though.
@link3710 Nope, it's sadly still Monopoly.
Hopefully Asmodee gets things right and wipes those from generic public consciousness of a "board game". Even Catan is better than Monopoly. A good board game doesn't need an arbitrary real time limit to not take forever to finish, way past time it was "fun".
@SmaggTheSmug Wow lol, I was only asking if it was a glitchy mess still. I don't have a problem with Monopoly itself.
@Liam_Doolan
There's no game page for this particular game on the NLife website...
