Two Tribes has confirmed that its manic shooter RIVE is coming to the Switch eShop on November 17th, and it will be the best version of the game yet.
For starters, it will offer a new Copilot Mode so you can play with a friend. This is a exclusive mode for the Switch version that allows two people to control the spider-tank with two Joy-Cons. HD Rumble will be supported as well, with Two Tribes stating that it is making "full use" of the feature.
Furthermore, additional achievements will be added - 48 in total. Finally, the game "loads faster, plays smoother" and is "tweaked to perfection" according to the developer. "We’ve gone back in to optimize our custom game engine and tweaked the entire campaign, resulting in rock solid performance and better game flow", says Two Tribes.
Excited? Let us know with a comment.

So that's what yesterday's Tweet was hinting at.

I was talking about it in the forums this morning:
"What could the news be? A shock release today in the eShop update? An announcement of a physical version? A release date? Still mightily annoyed that it was scrapped for Wii U. They were kind of forced to. This is also the last game from Two Tribes before they disband. They're a very talented studio."
I'll wait for physical like everything else
An example of a port done right.
Another game in November. Crazy amount of games.
A long-awaited game that I'll buy day one !
This game always intrigued me, it's a port done right and it's a genre that I don't have on the Switch yet so an easy buy for me.
Also, there's something about this game's voice acting that just makes me smile ^_^
SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!
Looks intense. Need something to fill the void that finishing Sine Mora left me with.
Finally been waiting so long on this!!
Feels like forever since that WiiU Demo was first made available. I'm putting this in the maybe pile (price/review dependent) since it's literally raining games right now . . . how glorious!
Wow Skyrim, Rime, VVVVVV and now RIVE? 11/17 is going to be a busy day for gaming.
Looking forward to this. I played a couple levels of this a while ago and it was a lot of fun.
Is it true that this is their final game and they are going to retire?? I think I saw that in one of their Rime trailers.
Since Toki Tori 2, I've been a big fan of Two Tribes. It's sad that the game that made me a fan was the penultimate work of art from these talented developers.
COOL. I forgot about this. Nov 17th, I’ll be there
I wait this game since it was announcing for WII U. I prefer it on Switch clearly. The demo on WII U was really fun!!
Someone like THQ Nordic or Team17 should pick this up for a 29,99 retail release.
It looks like toki tori too.
Been waiting so long for this. I think this and Odyssey will hold me over well until Red Dead Redemption 2 takes over much of 2018. I'll probably end up copping Kirby and Yoshi too. What a time to be gaming!
Lemme at it!
Awesome! Still bums me out these guys are calling it quits after this game.
so is this a twin stick shmup or is the video so sped up it just appears to be?
@yeayeanaynay
i guess my question to the physical only folks; is it N's extreme idiocy regarding accounts/online/cloud saves that you guys don't like or is it just a grey-beard affinity for 'stuff' you can hold?
Get this game! It's fantastic. You'll die A LOT.
@sword_9mm For me its the fact we have 3 switches in our house and we share our games. My 11 year old and his mate wrote a little Android app that lots of kids in their school use to share PS4 games and keep track of who has what. Good luck doing any of that with your downloads.
FINALLY , I have been waiting for this game great to hear it is finally on its way .
@yeayeanaynay @BarFooToo
for me that would go under N's incredible lack of account management. no reason why you can't have a downloaded game on up to X amount of switches. Sony/MS do it, Apple does it, Google does it, Nintendon't. one of these things is not like the other..
as for the grey beard, i'm probably older than a bunch here and i just got tired of swapping carts, discs, etc. i love having everything right there. i do own BOTW on cart and will probably get other big games on cart to get discounts/used copies but for the most part i just hate swapping media.
@yeayeanaynay
makes sense to me.
I recall not liking the controls and general feel of the game, so I'll be keeping my eye on it...but honestly, I only played the demo before, and I'm not sure how representative that was of the final release...
Ultimate, definitive version...bam, 15 Euro more expensive then other versions!
