The action-stealth hit Aragami looks to be tip-toeing onto the Nintendo Switch this Fall. Developer Lince Works has teamed up with Merge - an independent video game publisher and distributor - to make the release happen.
For the uninformed, Aragami was originally released on multiple platforms in 2016 and has since sold more than 500,000 copies. It's a challenging game where you take control of an undead assassin with supernatural abilities and is inspired by old-school stealth games including Tenchu and Metal Gear Solid. There are two contrasting play styles. You can be a ghost - going completely undetected to your enemies, or play as an absolute demon and slay everything in sight.
Aragami: Shadow Edition on the Nintendo Switch will be released in both digital and physical form and will include the original base game and Nightfall expansion with all the available DLC. The game also offers support for two-player online co-op and includes cross-compatibility with PC and Xbox One. Due to Sony's policies, the PlayStation 4 won't be taking part in the fun.
Keep an eye out for more details soon. Does a stealth-action game interest you? Have you been waiting on this announcement? Tell us below.

I was interested in the ps4 version when it first came out. If the price is right, I might finally pick this up. Co-op on two switches sounds tantalising.
I think I will demon.
"The game also offers support for two-player online co-op and includes cross-compatibility with PC and Xbox One."
But what about local co-op on a single Switch? Nothing says it'll be possible to local co-op...
@maruse No mention of it in the PR.
I played this before. I liked it, at least what little I played.
Ya, bring a physical version and I'm in.
Awesome a ninja stealth game
I played this on ps4 it felt a bit like an early tenchu game but the game had performance issues. heres hoping they have ironed out the kinks
Was literally waiting for the announcement of it coming to Switch since that leak/rumour last year said it would. Glad I waited as I am very keen to play portably as well as docked.
I was hoping this would fix my Tenchu void, however it's not as stealthy as it looks.
Might ignore I have it on PS4, seems to be useful for exclusives these days.
