Bandai Namco surprised Switch owners a few days ago by announcing it would be bringing the action hack-and-slash RPG God Eater 3 to the Nintendo Switch. This version of the game will allow up to eight players to battle alongside each other anytime and anywhere thanks to the portable nature of the hybrid device.
In a blog post on the official God Eater 3 website recently, the game’s producer Yuya Tomiyama spoke about how content within the Switch release would be “the same” as the PlayStation 4 and Steam versions. Apart from local co-op multiplayer, there will also be a number of other “special features” to anticipate. Here’s the translation, courtesy of Nintendo Everything:
“The contents of the game will be the same as the PS4 and Steam versions. In addition to this, we are adding special features unique to the Switch version, such as local co-op multiplayer.”
The team behind the game also has additional updates planned - with announcements regarding this content to be made in the near future. God Eater 3 for the Nintendo Switch is due out this July.
Are you relieved to hear the Switch version will be the real deal? Tell us down in the comments.

Gotta scratch that on-the-go MonHun itch. Can't wait!
So not only console parity, we also get exclusive content basically? If it's true, I'm more excited for it. I love gaming with my brother so local coop would be amazing.
Same as the other versions, 720p handheld, 1080p dock 60fps, came complete with box and cartridge but could also be download as well plus free extra contents. Bethesda do you smell what I'm smelling? Yeah that's the smell of my money going towards Namco and this game now instead of your lame download code in a case.
This is such an easy Day 1 buy!
I wanted to get into this series, even though it was delayed and cut short, the anime seemed really interesting and left me wanting to know more.
I’ve never heard of it 🤷♂️
God Eater the dim witted cousin of Monster Hunter
@KingdomHeartsFan
Namco Bandai so guessing 30fps locked
Super pleased to see the series finally making their Nintendo debut. I at least am familiar with some of the characters from the series thanks to Project X Zone 1 and 2.
If the game is half as fun as the actors in the commercial seems to have with it, it might be a purchase for me.
Seem to be a more faster paced Monster Hunter Clone. Curious how this will game will do. May be fun. ^^
@retro_player_22 PS4 version is 30fps
Same...with extras! So...not the same!
Please don't eff it up like Tales of Vesperia (Switch), Bamco.
Day One. Honestly for some odd reason I’m more surprised they didn’t try to rerelease 1 and 2 before 3 but luckily the Switch is at least getting one of them.
I’m down for this
@Lando_
???
Tales of Vesperia was excellent. It wasn’t messed up. I don’t get people here sometimes.
@Lando_ what was wrong with Tales? Been thinking of buying it for a while
I've never played a God Eater game but this after seeing the reveal I am quite hyped for including Astral Chain..
I'm guessing 600p 30 handheld/900p 30 docked. Which is fine, considering the hardware.
@Lando_ Everything I've seen of Tales of Vesperia has been perfectly fine. What specific complaints do you have?
@Ralizah @Supadav03 @JaxonH
I've experienced lots of framedrops. It's no big deal for most gamers, I guess, because the 'stuttering' occurs mostly in well-populated cities, not in fights - but I found it to be disturbing nevertheless. I've hoped for an optimized version of the original Xbox 360 game.
@Lando_ ok. That would be annoying but not game breaking. I def wasn’t going to spend the coin of it was a huge issue. Thanks for the info
@Lando_ wait what happened with Tales of Vesperia? Am I missing something here? I'm 15hrs into the game so just want to make sure I'm getting the full experience
Edit: NVM saw the other comment u posted. Ok fair enough. I can live with that, thanks for info.
Switch continues to become a monster rpg machine.
Played the previous two GE games on Vita, so glad to see the Switch will be continuing the handheld aspect of the series.
Tried doing online with a friend in GE2 Rage Burst on PS4 and it just didn't feel the same. Also, all the dang disconnects ugh.
Will we get Nintendo related gear like MH?
I thought the anime was nice, but this game`s looking gorgeous, and people say it`s like Monster Hunter, so I`ll bite.
Normally I wouldn't even look at this, but I'm feeling the void left by Monster Hunter. I never particularly liked Generations (in comparison to 4 Ultimate, at least) and don't care to replay that game in expanded form. I own Monster Hunter World, but find it difficult to will myself to play that game purely on a TV. Maybe this will help feed my need for a great portable hunting game.
@Desa Just be aware that the local multiplayer for God Eater 3 is LAN only, not split-screen. You will need two switches, and two copies of the game to play with your brother.
I've never played God Eater, it looks cool. But does it have music like that all the way through? Because I had to mute the trailer to get through it.
Except for the price. It will cost an extra £5 like every other game (Yes the switch tax is a thing)
@retro_player_22 I know the download code in the box is incredibly lame, but I am still not going to turn my back on Bethesda. They were big supporters of the Switch right out of the gate and have done a great job(with a lot of help from the amazing panic button) bringing their games to the Switch. Furthermore, refusing to support 3rd parties only results in that 3rd party support drying up and we sure as hell don't need even a dash of those painful Wii U years rearing their ugly head again. I am very much looking forward to Youngblood and even more so, Doom Eternal!
With that said, Bethesda need to cut the BS and put a damn cart in that Wolfenstein box!
I think there should be a rule that if you don't have release parity, you don't get to sell the game for full price 2-3 years later.
This trend is tiring. "No there won't be a switch version. The game won't run on switch."
2 years later...."oh hi. Here's that game that wouldn't run...for 10 dollars more than the original versions that run butter"
K thx.
Local coop multiplayer could be could be a selling point for me if reviews are ok.
@JaxonH seriously, they did an insanely great job with that port
I have this day 0 btw. Love it! The port is amazing so far!
