Update: And the game has now appeared on Switch eShop in three guises: the Starter Founder's Pack (£13.49 / $14.99), the Standard Founder's Pack ($29.99) and the Ultimate Founder's Pack ($59.99).


Original Story (Mon 20th Jul, 2020 15:35 BST): Following last month's new footage of Rogue Company, the upcoming online multiplayer third-person shooter has been spotlighted in today's Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase.

Sandwiched between the opening surprise of DLC packs for Cadence of Hyrule and welcome news for Shin Megami Tensei fans, Hi-Rez Studios' latest title was the second game featured in the short broadcast which highlighted previously announced games from Nintendo's development and publishing partners.

While more details were promised 'later today', the segment (timestamped in the video above) highlighted the inclusion of AI opponents, and that cross-play and cross-progression will be supported at launch, in addition to all-important motion-controlled aiming. Here are a handful of screenshots highlighting the environments you'll be shooting through:

We'll be sure to update this post with more information as and when it's released. In the meantime, how do you like the look of Rogue Company? Let us know below.
