Co-publishers All In! Games and 505 Games have announced that Ghostrunner, a cyberpunk parkour game described as "AAA quality", will be launching on Switch next week on 10th November.
It was originally planned to hit the eShop in October alongside its launch on other platforms, but was pushed back to give the developers a little more time and ensure it offered Switch players "the best possible experience".
It's also been revealed that if you pick it up within the first month, so up until 10th December, you'll get your hands on an in-game bonus made up of two exclusive Katanas, one of which is called the 'Exclusive Nintendo Katana Sword'.
Here's a feature list for the game:
- Become the ultimate cyberpunk ninja on the go
- Ghostrunner is designed to take full advantage of the Switch hardware, delivering a smooth experience
- Ascend a dystopian tower: run on walls, deploy an energy-based grappling hook, hijack and ride flying drones, and much more
- Wield a katana sharp enough to cut through flesh and steel in thrilling one-hit-one-kill combat
- Fast respawns alleviate frustration to keep players gripped by the twisting narrative
The game's reviewed pretty well on other platforms so it'll be interesting to see how it fares on Switch.
As ever, make sure to let us know if you're planning on buying this one in the comments below.

@graysoncharles Did they patch the PS4 version? There was a video on YouTube showing quite the opposite of pretty good. In fact, it like looked what you would expect the Switch version to look like.
Edit - not hating on the game btw, i'm super interested in this!
I’m shocked this is a thing.
Looks really cool! And the music is spot on! I'll get it eventually.
played it on PC, so I won't be buying on switch, but I hope it's a good port with no performance issues. I have somewhat older pc and the game works great and is great overall. Best I can describe it is souls-like platformer. Would certainly be a great addition to switch library.
Nice! Let's see how it holds up.
I'm watching to see how this performs on the Switch.
I just hope they didn't push it back so positive reviews on other platforms would sucker people into a low quality port. That's what happened with Bloodstained's original release.
the game doesn't perform well on PS4 or Xbox so I wouldn't get too excited. On PC it's a great game.
Why is this described as AAA game. For me it’s more a Apple Arcade „mobile“ Game.
I mean isn’t a mash button game on rails?
@Scrubicius no. that's an incorrect impression of the game.
@Scrubicius You could not be more wrong. This game requires extreme precision.
@Scrubicius Also it is possible for a game to be both AAA and a button masher. See: Yakuza Series
But it is on rails right, that’s what it seems?
I hope it turns out well, but remember the Switch version of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night? Also published by 505. I expect this one to be messy.
@Scrubicius It is linear but on rails. I saw someone describe it as wide linear and I thought that was perfect. You pass through a series of large rooms and in each room you have several options for how to navigate the room and clear the enemies.
Played it on PS4, it's such an awesome game. Definitely recommend getting it on Switch if you don't play on anything else.
If it runs properly and there is a 3rd person mode perspective option, I'm in.
@Moistnado first person only.
Will there be a physical version?
This type of game really benefits from a higher frame rate for playability.....
