Ever wanted to try your hand at being a naval explorer? Sailing the uncharted seas as a trader and envoy in 15th century Europe? Well, you're in luck because Japanese studio ArtDink has confirmed it's bringing Neo Atlus 1469 to Nintendo Switch, with versions planned for both Japan and the West on 19th April.
The game is all about filling in the world map by hiring admirals to serve in your growing trade company. These individuals will report back to you with news of the wider world, but it's up to you decide which ones are true and which ones are a little too tall a tale. The choices you make will shape the world you're charting (and you might not end up with the one you know today).
The ocean-faring sim has been sailing the seas of PS Vita in Japan, as well as enjoying a localised version on Steam. That's probably why we're getting ports for the West at the same time as the one launching on the Nintendo eShop.
There's also this brand new trailer. It's full of details and snippets of in-game footage. Unfortunately, it's in Japanese. But hey, it certainly looks nice! Let us know what you make of it below...

Looks silly interesting, but I might be biased; It's not every game that has you start in your hometown.
This is the perfect game for all those misguided athletes who go around talking about the Earth being flat.
Erm.....ok......like to see more gameplay but it looks interesting.
@JHDK YOU MEAN ITS NOT FLAT???? Spoiler alert man.
Sounds interesting, always down for something different.
Need some pirate fighting and treasure hunting in able to get me excited, exploring new world is great and all but discovering with no outcome or obstacles (challenge) in your way is not very exciting to me.
Been keeping an eye on this for a while now. This is my kind of game. Relaxing(ish) and just a little bit odd.
@Dethmunk its also a super slow game from what i have seen.
It is called Neo Atlas, though..
This looks really fascinating.
Will there be a physical version in Europe?
Looks interesting but certainly not £37 interesting, even less so when it sells for considerably cheaper elsewhere.
