2D meets 3D meets cyberpunk in ANNO: Mutationem, an action-adventure game with RPG elements, 2D platforming elements, and detectivey bits that's making its way to the Nintendo Switch very soon, alongside a free demo and a pre-order discount. The game was previously released on PC, PS4, and PS5 in March, 2022.
In ANNO: Mutationem, players are cast as Ann Flores, a highly-skilled combat extraordinaire who's on a personal mission to kick ass and take names in order to find her brother. She's accompanied by equally-talented hacker side-kick Ayane, who will help her to hone her skills, unravel conspiracies, and interrogate cyborg corgis (among other witnesses and suspects, of course).
Standing on the shoulders of beloved giants like Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Blade Runner, ANNO paints a picture of a cyberpunk future daubed with neon, holograms, and very cool haircuts, told in a 2.5D pixel-art aesthetic.
Pre-orders for ANNO: Mutationem will be live on the Nintendo Switch eShop on the 18th August (10am CEST / 9am BST / 4am ET / 1am PT), alongside a 10% discount on the price and a free demo available to all. The game itself will launch on September 1st, 2022.

Whoa. Never heard of this, but it looks pretty rad.
I'll check out the demo. If I like it, I'll hold out in hope of a physical release!
This is awesome news! I almost bought this game on the PS5 a couple of months ago but decided against it. Now, however, I’ll definitely pick it up. I need something to keep me engaged after my surgery in a couple of weeks.
Is this that game i kept seeing clips of all over where someone is fighting a creature that looks allot like the indestructible reptile scp?
Answered my own question the reptile is in the trailer above
Mmmm interesting
Dammit, take my money.
I'm running out of reasons to play consoles other than Switch.
Slick visuals.
They could've used the time the thirst trap shower bit took up to show a bit more of what the gameplay is actually like but okay, fairly interested. I'll be keeping an eye on this for now I guess.
Heard the gameplay was fairly good, been meaning to check this one out.
I've been playing this on Steam Deck. It really looks amazing in motion when you're in the city environments and the action bits of gameplay are tight, if simplistic. It's pretty good.
I have been jonesing for this announcement since I first saw footage of it.
My backlog is so long you can measure First Downs with it, but I will so be all over this when it drops - and there’s already Qube: 10th Anniversary coming next month as well!
Pretty cool. This was one of the many games I've mentioned in my "it's on PS4, why not Switch?" thread in the forums. I'm glad to hear it's on its way.
@Buizel Your avatar (Rivet) would not be pleased with your comment that you are running out of reasons to play her console.
This is one of those games that caught my eye before it came out on the PS5, but then I put it on the list of games I'd play when they got really cheap since it's supposed to be decent but nothing special. This does seem like a game that would be perfect for the Switch though with it's combination of 3D and 2D Metroidvania gameplay. Maybe it can find some more success there.
Dang it, I absolutely would have waited and gotten this on Switch instead of PS5 if I would have known it was coming.
be looking for the demo tomorrow.
Weird, I thought this series was about building and trading in Middle Ages and Renaissance?
@BlackMayge Haha bro I just got finished with a surgery and am couch-ridden for 6 weeks minimum. Been using this time to get caught up on my games as well.
Hope your procedure goes well!
I almost feel compelled to double dip and buy this, just so I can compare it to the PS5 version. I wonder if the cutbacks necessary to run this on Switch, will ruin the overall aesthetic of the game. Which is pretty, pretty, pretty btw.
As long as the performance and price compared to other consoles are not detractors, I'll get this on Switch.
@KilloWertz funny you mention that as, as much as I love Rift Apart, no other game has managed to quolite get my attention like it since I got my Ps5 :/
I'm very happy this game will have a demo; it looks like it might be interesting but the short confusing trailer with the random shower scene didn't tell me much.
This one looks just right my alley, hopefully ill remember to download the demo
@Buizel That's fair, as I can say that as well except for Cyberpunk 2077. I'm not counting some of the other games I've played as they weren't new releases, or in the case of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, I had already played it once on the PS4. Life is Strange: True Colors would probably be behind those two as far as new releases go (counting Cyberpunk since the PS5 version is basically a new game performance wise), but as much as I enjoyed that True Colors, I wouldn't put it in the same class as Rift Apart since that game was my 2021 game of the year.
Really hope we get a physical release of this for Switch. I'm still getting the digital version cause this is one i need to play like pronto but I would definitely pickup a physical copy.
