Project Winter, a brutal eight-person survival/betrayal game set in the unforgiving snowy wilderness, has been confirmed as a Switch release "coming soon". Other Ocean Interactive, also responsible for the 3DS Minecraft and the Wii U port of Costume Quest 2, released the game on PC in February of 2019, and have also just announced that the game will be coming to Xbox Game Pass at the end of January.
Like any survival game, Project Winter offers a lot of horrendous ways to die: mauled to death by a bear, crushed to death by an angry moose, poisoned by berries, eaten by wolves, and being killed by a fellow teammate... who was a saboteur the whole time. With proximity-based voice chat, you want to make sure you don't wander off alone, because your friends won't be able to hear you scream for help if the traitors find you.
The developers have a roadmap for the game on their website, which lists "Port to Nintendo Switch" as something they'd like to complete in the future, so it's unclear exactly how far they are in the porting process. The website simply lists the game as "Coming Soon".
We'll have an update when we know the date. In the meantime, why not check out similar chilly survival games, The Long Dark and The Red Lantern to practise your snow skills?

Looks fun, I'll give it a shot.
I remember me seeing this on CallMeKevin’s channel. Could be a lot of fun, but a lack of voice chat will hurt the game.
Will wait till switch...
How will this work on switch saying there isnt really voice chat, will there be a chat screen?
This looks like it’s right up my alley. Has anyone tried it yet? Does the game play well?
Hope it has crossplay! Also it can definitely have voice chat, fortnite as an example
@Blooper987 It is actually purposely done to actually make the game harder and to create more mystery as to who the saboteur is. Very fun game indeed.
There is CHAT! Called "IN GAME CHAT"..*smh
Some of these people in the comments....
Really? I am assuming you never have played
on anything other then Nintendo...
It DOES HAVE CHAT! It's called "In Game Chat!"
This amazing concept that has been around for well, ever now.
Proximity means, within a certain proximity to you!! Did you people not read the article??
It really isn't difficult to read. Then you wouldn't have to post comments about stuff, that doesn't apply. 🤦 Swear, some people.
World War Z was once supposed to come to Nintendo Switch as well.
@Little_Squee Still is. Was only announced 8 months ago. Takes awhile to port stuff.
@PhilKenSebben I hope so...
