Update - Sat 22nd Feb, 2020 00:21 GMT: It looks like the polish-developed RTS Ancestors Legacy really might be released on the Switch. According to GoNintendo, Amazon's US website has now added a listing for a Nintendo version and so has the retailer Deep Discount.
Both listings mention a release date of 19th May 2020 (just like Japanese listing). There's also a description referencing network support for 2-6 players and the game requiring a 13GB minimum save size. If these listings are accurate, keep an eye out for a more official announcement in the near future.
Original article - Sun 2nd Feb, 2020 15:00 GMT: It's almost a weekly tradition now for Switch titles that we haven't officially heard about to pop up online. A lot of the time, these listings end up being confirmed months later. Games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Switch were partially discovered this way, and more recently Metro Redux was finally revealed after multiple store listings and a PEGI rating.
Now, in the latest news, there's a listing for a Nintendo Switch version of the Polish squad-based real-time strategy game Ancestors Legacy on Amazon Japan. It goes on to mention a 19th May 2020 release date (thanks, @JPSWITCHMANIA):
This title was developed by Destructive Creations and published by Russia's 1C Company. It was first released on the PC in 2018 and was then ported across to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2019.
The Steam version has "very positive" reviews and the game itself is inspired by medieval European history in the Middle Ages – bringing together the stories of four different nations (Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, Slav) and their conflicts. Your job is to conquer, raid and pillage camps, villages, and towns, while managing temporary bases and settlements, and utilising the "full range" of tactical available options to take strategic advantage of the environments.

I'd be totally interested, I'd love this on the go.
Oh i would love this tho.
Big fan of RTS
Oh I am definitely getting this one. All that sexy metal!
Wasn't Project Red a polish company as well.
Looks really good. Hope we get it
Is it like Age of Empires? Cause if it is, it would be there in day one.
I would be all over this if is comes over
This would be a welcome additions. Currently enjoying Northgard
By the devs who made HATRED. Wouldn't mind seeing that ported to the Switch.
@w00dm4n Polish jokes? What year is it?
Anyways, recently got this from Humble Choice and it's a fun title. It is more along the pacing of Northgard, so if you enjoyed that one you may like this one as well.
@AlphaElite 1984?
I'm looking forward to this game on the Switch.
Reminds me of the old Bungie game "Myth" if anybody else can remember back that far...of course, no magic or other races (the dwarves were a blast...get it? ha ha).
Looks extremely fiddly with very small text/icons. As I'm portable-only, with less than perfect eyesight, could be another one where I can't see what's going on. We need the old Advance Wars presentation!
@Lone_Beagle
One of my favourite games of all time, Myth 1 and 2.
I wish I could play those games hassle free on switch or pc... :/
I was thinking about getting it, but every RTS style game for a console or touch screen I tried was either very simplistic or didn’t control very well. I will probably be getting this on Steam.
@w00dm4n I wouldn't know, still trying to figure out how to turn on the Switch. I came here as an immigrant child in the 80s and had my share of being made fun for being from Poland. So thanks for reminding me.
This would be a welcome edition to the Switch library.
I’d get this if it has touch screen controls...
Very interested!
I would also like the Total War Series coming to Nintendo Switch.
Anyone who's interested in this and has a decent PC, I have a leftover copy from Humble. @ me if you're interested.
Hell yeah, im a big fan of these kinda games. If the switch receive more of these kinda RTS games and more FPS man my PC will even receive dust haha.
@raven89 omg one of the best series ever made. My god the dwarven grenades were annoying as hell tho. Used to accidentally wipe my own units due to friendly fire all the time lol
Super excited for this but I'm worried about how much is going to get sacrificed.
