The latest financial report for the publisher Focus Home Interactive has revealed the action RPG game Vampyr is making its way to the Nintendo Switch in the near future. This is exactly what was said:
In Q3, the Group will continue to maximize the potential of the Vampyr licence... After the game's impressive success on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, it will be Nintendo Switch's turn to welcome the Dontnod title to reach an even wider audience.
As noted by Game Informer, the mention of Q3 suggests the game is being released on the Switch before the end of this year. If you haven't heard about Vampyr, it's set at the end of the Great War in 1918. You take control of a doctor who awakes as a vampire and naturally has a thirst for the blood of his patients. The title was first launched earlier this year in June.
Dontnod Entertainment - the French-based publisher behind this release - is best known for the graphic adventure game Life Is Strange and is yet to actually release any of its existing games library on Nintendo's latest device.

Well, the premise sounds interesting.
I'm listening
someone else on another page said something about being excited about this game, I'm going to see what this game really is
This is possibly a game that'll be draining my wallet. Some seem to really like it, others seem to find it a bit meh.
I hope this port(whenever it comes out) does well. I would like to see Focus Home bring in more titles to the Switch. Like Call of Cthulhu and The Surge.
Super excited when I saw this!!!. Day 1 for me at any price!
Been keeping an eye on it on PC. Hold off for the Switch Version for sure.
Now we talking.
Fantastic! I may have just bought this game for PS4 but I am glad to see Dontnod releasing something on Switch!
This is a good example of a game I probably wouldn’t buy if I had a PS4, but that I will buy on Switch. Mostly because the lack of competing titles like this. I think I’ll pick this up!
Hmm maybe I will finish it now.
Well, since "Vampire: The Masquerade - The Bloodlines" is among my favourite games of all time, I'm really hyped for this. The reviews for PC version are also quite good, so I have high hopes.
This game looks so nice! My question as always is full game on the cartridge?!?!?
Anyone played this on other platforms? Is it good?
The premise sounds intriguing, with the player taking the role as a vampire.
Cool! Idk to what extent this is an open world, but we need more of them on Switch
I was so hyped for this when it was first revealed, I’m definitely getting it on Switch.
I found the game incredibly subpar. Would prefer we got Life is Strange series but eh. More titles the merrier.
Great to see more third parties putting their games on Switch. This one doesn't look like it would be for me, but it's good news all the same.
Oh heck yeah!
I was very excited about this game and I even pre-ordered it. However, it ended up being a quite bland experience. I adore vampires, but everything about the game was just kinda meh? Plus, the amount of dialogue was astronomical, you spent most of your time just listening to people go on and on. You could probably get away with it more if the voice acting was stronger but I found the lead of the game extremely monotonous sounding.
I heard mixed reviews of this one. But I may get if it lands on a quiet month
Did this bomb on the other consoles? Saw it in a shop yesterday for €20 second hand. PS4 version.
Anyone played it?
Gameplay? No? I hate adverts like this
Awesome! I hope the port is good!
There are parts on pc where a 4 core CPU and gtx 1060 struggles to keep 60 fps...if this is a 1;1 port, I wonder how much do they need to butcher the graphics...good examples are Doom and Wolfenstein. Both are awesome that they got SW ports, but the graphics downgrade is horrible! There were parts where my eyes started to hurt due to the blurry image :/
Had this on release day on Xbox loved it. Will go again.
It's probably gon a be a test to see how well it sells. If it does well enough we could see more from them.
Good to see current gen games of this style getting ported to Switch. Will pick it up if the port is a good one.
@TIND Hey, don't diss the exclusive "camera lens smeared in multiple jars of vaseline" Switch editions!
Cya
Raziel-chan
I'm so glad I waited on this and didn't buy it on pc! This has interested me from when it was first announced to come out
@ReaderRagfish You mean Alucard??

For me it did not live up to expectations but it wasn't a bad game, at least what I played. I just got bored after 5 or 6 hours and never went back. It was not a great runner even on a 8core / 1080ti so not to hopeful for the switch release
Nice! I'm all in favor of current-gen games being ported!
That's pretty stunning. I passed this up on an X1 sale recently since it's a bit too intense for me overall, but I'd have never expected it on Switch! Impressive!
Really looking forward to this!
I've been very interested in this game since the start, and even without stellar reviews, I still like everything I've seen of this game.
This was a very nice and unexpected surprise.
Although seeing that even the current Xbox and PS4 versions of the game are not available in Japan (or at least I can't find them anywhere), I don't expect to see this coming here either... Probably just another game that will never make it to this island.
I guess I can always try to import it...
What what what?! Cool, this is a title I wouldn't have expected on Switch in a million years. It got mixed reviews, but I really liked what I heard about it - an ambitious game that falls short in a few ways is always going to be more compelling than a successful one that plays it safe. If the port is good, I'll definitely be getting this on Switch.
@TIND Switch has trouble running Disgaea 5 properly with 60fps. A 3D like this will require more power that's for sure
This game didn’t review well
Day one.
Gosh, I just got it on Steam. I wish my patience was longer -_- Oh well, gonna get it again then LOL
Unreal Engine game...curious about frame rates.. Looks pretty interesting game. Trailer don't have so much gameplay footage.
