The Fall was an intriguing release on the Wii U eShop and a range of other platforms, and left fans hanging on for a sequel. Developer Over The Moon has been busy with its task of ensuring that follow-up steps everything up a notch, and also had to shift the project from Wii U to Nintendo Switch.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound was originally slated for release in this window, but the developer has posted a video explaining that it'll now arrive in February 2018. This is partly due to taking a little extra time to polish the game, and to avoid the risky business move of releasing right in the middle of the 'triple-A' silly-season.
In any case, the studio's head honcho John Warner has posted an interesting video talking about this and also discussing aspects of the title's gameplay and design. He makes a pretty good pitch for the game, and talks about the studio's upcoming challenge of successfully marketing the title. It's well worth a watch, so check it out below.
This certainly looks like one to follow ahead of its release next year.

When the sequel comes out, i hope they do a compilation of 1 & 2 for the switch
I'm all in for this game day 1. Loved the first one. The atmosphere, music and gameplay were top notch. Very excited for this one.
Yay
@Bunkerneath Agreed. Regardless, I'll be downloading this on day 1.
Im a big fan of The Fall. Day one all the way. Triple dip for the first The Fall easily.
Can't wait
I don't know if I'll have the time, but I'm looking forward to the sequel. The first was very enjoyable to me.
@Hikingguy It's well worth playing. The characters are some of the best written in gaming, and while that isn't saying much, it'd still be true regardless. Then there's the game itself. It's basically a point and click adventure with a 2D cover shooter battle system, and while that sounds ridiculous--an adventure game with combat? really?--it works, and works well. I'd recommend buying it to anyone who hasn't already; since you already own it I'll recommend not letting it languish in your backlog.
The Fall on WiiU captivated me from start to finish. Have been eagerly waiting more news on the sequel, and glad it's not skipping the Switch. Would even double dip the original if a port was in the works.
