The US-based rental service GameFly is known for accidentally revealing certain games ahead of schedule and this might be another one of those cases.
According to a listing on the game rental website, a deluxe edition of the turn-based tactical role-playing game Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden is en route to the Switch. The game will apparently be playable from 25th June onwards. In the past, Switch games such as Titan Quest have been spotted on GameFly and then officially confirmed.
If this wasn't convincing enough, at the end of last year, the CEO of The Bearded Ladies (the development team behind Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden) said a Switch port was something that would be investigated, following its release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
If you're not familiar with this Funcom-published title, it's based on a classic pen-and-paper RPG inspired by the gameplay in the XCOM series. The team that worked on Mutant Year Zero is also comprised of former Hitman leads and the designer of PAYDAY, so there's plenty of experience involved. Check out the videos below to see what this game set in a post-human universe is all about:

This looks fun. Always up for some trpg
Nice news, why not! Looks like a nice game indeed.
I don’t know if I am getting this mixed up with something else (piggy is what’s sticking out to me, is there another game with this type of character?!) but wasn’t this a game that was very unlikely to come to switch?
I think it looks good, really like the character style and art style. Turn based RPG is a genre that’s growing on me too.
@CairiB You're probably thinking of Beyond Good and Evil? That's what I thought of when I saw the image.
@CairiB I would say you’re thinking of Beyond Good and Evil 2?
Meanwhile, I’ve never heard of this game before, but it actually looks great!!
@OorWullie and @FTL yeh that’s the one thanks. Still, this is interesting enough to get my attention.
This looks good, after playing Mario+Rabbids I kind of liked this style of game.
Might buy it if it is really released on the Switch.
I really enjoyed most of this on PC. There are some CRAZY frustrating difficulty spikes, so be warned.
It's coming to the Humble Bundle on PC next month, which is a very short time after release (early December 2018)... Does this usually indicate that the game didn't sell as well as intended, if it's in a cheap bundle only 4 months after launch?
Of course I'd be all over it. I certainly preferred combat in Fallout: Tactics to regular Fallout (though the latter had more interesting writing).
I think that it’s totally possible. I asked them two days ago if they had an update and they replied:
"Hey JP! We don't have any news to share right now."
Which, to me, sounds a lot more like a yes than a no...if it wasn’t planned at all they would just say no.
All aboard the hype train!

@BadAstroZA I’ve seen that too. Good question! Maybe Humble is trying to up their game?
Looks like a complicated Mario + Rabbids (which I mostly loved), so if this comes to Switch I’ll check it out
Looks great. Love XCOM. And mutants.
Amazing! This is all I want.
TFW you look at a corner of the thumbnail without reading the headline and get excited for BG&E2 for no reason, like a newb user...
This does look interesting, though. I'll be waiting to read some more tech details on it.
This one looks really neat. I’m gonna keep this on my radar!
Nice. Day one purchase for me.
I could see myself playing this after Mario rabbids. I’m a fan of the genre.
Never heard of this game (maybe that's why it's going to the humble store...)
But I finally will check it out of it does come to Switch. I like trpg
Mehhhhh this looks Okay,but not something worth going into playing tactical RPG genre,now if you can bring Metal Gear Solid 5 the phantom pain or Resident Evil 2 Remake now were talking i d be all over it but idk not likely at least not until the Switch 2 pro comes out.
It's tangentially furry. I'm game.
As long as this come Physical it's a buy worth getting.
Oooo yes please! Great game!
Yes please. This and Wasteland 2 Directors Cut
@Latinogamerchiz0
Bait
