The turn-based tactical genre has had somewhat of a resurgence in recent years. The Swedish development team known as The Bearded Ladies is continuing this trend, with its latest release Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. For the uninformed, this Funcom-published video game is based on a classic pen-and-paper RPG and inspired by the gameplay in the XCOM series.
During a recent interview with Wccf, the CEO of the development team was asked about the chances of Mutant Year Zero making its way across to the Nintendo Switch, as the game runs on Unreal Engine 4. This was the reply:
"That is something we will look into soon."
Previous releases on the Nintendo Switch like this game include Into The Breach and Ubisoft's Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which has now shifted more than two million copies. 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 behind this release.
Would you like to see this game appear on the Switch eventually? Let us know below.

This is looking good
Would rather have X-Com to be quite honest.
Looks heavily inspired by X-COM.
Could be promising though. Doesn’t look bad at all
Looks great, I was hoping this would come to Switch at some point. I'm always down for an SRPG, especially one inspired by X-COM.
Interesting, from the CG trailer I initially saw, I was under the impression this was going to be an FPS or 3rd person shooter/action game.
I’ll definitely keep this on my radar for the Switch.
This has Potential of Being a Good Game. looking forward to seeing more.
Saw this in the Xbox store, might grab it if it reviews well.
Looks interessting to be honest.
Was a huge fan of xcom enemy unknown and xcom 2, still hoping for a port but I would definitely pick this up!
wow...I'll get it just from the demo.
This would be instabuy for me! I love the X-Com games and Mario and Rabbids so yeah, this ones for me!
Well. This was gonna be my Xmas present to myself, but ill just wait now. Id rather have this type of game on the go.
@MsJubilee
Which one?
I want the first, the REAL one, not that casualized and dumbed down excuse of tactical game known as XCom 2.
I'd rather have a new Rebel Star which was on the GBA. Its also by the original Xcom creator Julian Gallop.
This looks interesting. Kinda hope the whole world isn't in this apocalyptic setting though. But the stealth elements are interesting and would like to see how far they can take that to make it standout.
I didn't know of the roleplaying system, but with this combination of developer and genre, you have my attention!!
I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I have Wasteland 2 and that game is pretty cool. This game looks similar.
Let it be so.
I certainly agree with the above comments, it would be awesome to play XCom on Switch
I'm interested for sure! Looks great so far.
I like the look of this game, I want!
I played the original Fallout 1 & 2, way back when they first released on PC.. this has a touch of that feel to it. It is now on my radar...
Crossing fingers to see that!!
Looks really interesting. I would be down for some XCOM-like game play. I am still holding hope for XCOM 2 somehow making it to Switch with a decent port.
