République's had a quite a long history since it first released. Starting on iOS as 5-part episodic game in 2013 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, you play as Hope, a young woman held captive within a totalitarian state ruled by the authoritarian Overseer. Bringing us a stealth-action premise, it may finally be hitting the Switch next month.
The news comes as a listing has been spotted on Nintendo's website directly, which can be seen when typing République in the search bar. Though clicking the game's page now brings up a dead link, the fact it's even listed there doesn't seem like something they'd accidentally do. As reported by Nintendo Everything, that listing allegedly confirmed a February 25th release date and $9.99 price point.
République's had a long history of ports too, bringing the episodes into one package. Having released on Android, PS4, Stadia, PC, Mac and VR, a Switch release is certainly plausible. It received positive reviews - our own sister site Push Square gave it 7/10 on PS4 - so it would make a welcome addition to the indie library.
Have you played République on other platforms? Would you like to see it on Switch? Let us know below in the comments.

This is a rather old android/ios game, if it is not getting 1080/720p @ 60 fps enhancement with some extra graphics boost, then don't even bother .
@TIND Age doesn't say much. Is it a good game though?
I heard good things about this game and picked up a physical copy years ago for PS4 but I still haven't played it. I'd double dip and try it out on Switch if it gets a physical release.
It’s a great game, would be happy if it got a switch release. I’ve only played an iOS version, but I hope that well get the real deal.
Wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a great game, but it’s fine. Clunky movement, passable stealth mechanics, a few secrets and lots of story. High production values for its time In the mobile sphere, though, which is why it got good write-ups.
@Krull Absolutely, all that. Its a decent game to grab for $5
Stealth is a genre I've yet to really dip into. Which is odd, as I love sneaking about in games like BotW or Crysis.
I'll keep on eye on this but I wondering what the top Stealth games are for Switch?
F.E.A.R trilogy! If they could've given us...
Played it on Stadia awhile back (it was a free game on Pro). At €10 it's probably worth it. Decent game.
@TIND The quality of a game is not dependent on 1) its age, 2) its platform, or 3) its production values. Apart from misunderstanding those, your advice is spot on.
Fun fact: République features, among others, David Hayter in a voice role. Now, if we could only get that other stealth game he’s in...
@Slowdive “Thief, eh? It's never too late to take charge of your own fate, you know.”
