LEGO Horizon Adventures is to be distributed by Canadian publisher and video game distributor Solutions 2 Go on Switch, the company announced today (thanks, Gematsu!).
Aloy's debut adventure on Switch, which is also coming to PlayStation 5 and PC, is still being published by Sony. But this means that on Switch, Solutions 2 Go is responsible for getting LEGO Horizon Adventures in Switch players' hands, both physically and digitally.
In a statement, vice president of Global Publishing Rob Cleva stated "We are incredibly excited to partner with Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring LEGO Horizon Adventures to a global audience on the Nintendo Switch family of systems... This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality entertainment experiences to retail consumers around the world."
Solutions 2 Go has previously distributed Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star, MLB The Show 24, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered and Crysis Remastered on Switch.
We're still pinching ourselves that LEGO Horizon Adventures is a thing and that it's coming to Switch. The game is currently slated for a Holiday 2024 release date, and given that Gamescom is next week, we'd be surprised if we didn't hear more about it very soon...

Well I had to say the game is in good hand for Nintendo Switch.
Will most likely be fine also on Switch then, looking forward to my discounted physical copy even more!
Is NL ever going to cover "The Plucky Squire" having a release date of September 17 or are you just letting Pushsquare cover it since it's Day 1 on PS+?

I'll be getting this on PS5, and "Solutions 2 Go" sounds like a company I'd hire a data entry intern from. 😂
@rjejr We are, should be up soon
Looking forward to this game.
Definitely getting it on Switch after having the original two on PC, gotta explain all these robo dinosaurs to my kid somehow.
You probably still have time to change the subheading to “Ship Aloy”.
I think this looks very cute, and I'm excited for it.
I loved the mainline Horizons games (though I did like the first one a little bit better).
@DreamlandGem Thanks, I found it. Still no price anywhere. And you guys are actually ahead of Devolver Digital, their own website doesn't even have the release date yet. 😂

Decided I'm getting it on PS5, a month of PS+ Extra cost $15 and this is probably $30 that will take 12 hours, so that's the plan. Oh and I need to play FF 7 Crisis Core Reunion also on there. 😎
Including the link just to be thorough.

This game will most likely be a christmas present for myself.
So now we have our answer, Lego Horizon Adventures is coming to Switch solely because Lego forced Sony to bring it to Switch rather than Sony actually wanting to bring it to Switch.
This is really useful information as it says not to expect Astro Bot on Switch 2.
@Grumblevolcano Should anyone have expected Astrobot on Switch 2? Aside from being Sony published, I don't see the connection. Just like I wouldn't expect The Last of Us on Switch 2 either.
Let's just be glad that LHA is coming to Switch at all. 👏
I find this weird to be honest. It's not a bad thing though.
Huh. I thought The Show was the Player's Association themselves somehow. Also, they were Ghostbusters? I thought Saber did that. Huh...
Well either way, seeing "boutique" distributors and publishers that aren't the willingly incompetent types I have to put up with at LRG flourish is a good thing. Even if they are from the 2nd worst part of Canada.
@EVIL-C Astro Bot, as the last living son of Japan Studio, would be the both the most appropriate and inappropriate game to be on Nintendo. Because the original foundation of Japan Studio was built in "the guys seemed too out there and crazy for NR&D"
@Zeebor15 Oh I forgot that Team Asobi developed Astros playroom. The debut trailer for Astrobot just screamed "Nintendo", since they really seemed to strike the aesthetics and style of what one may find in Mario Galaxy or Odyssey. My hopes for Astrobot remain high. 😄
@EVIL-C Porting 1st party titles to other platforms by choice always results in more coming to those platforms. The Xbox and PS strategies for PC shows this but most recently there's the Xbox strategy for releasing on PS. Even Forza Horizon 5 is seemingly coming to PS.
So if Lego Horizon Adventures was published by Sony on Switch then you'd likely see Sony decide to port more stuff that they think would sell well on Nintendo hardware. The upcoming Astro Bot being a very fitting pick considering it's very Nintendo-like.
@Grumblevolcano Yes very true, Astrobot would be right at home on Nintendo. It looks very Mario-like. I just personally won't hold my breath, (plus I'm fine with playing Astro on PS5) but stranger things have happened. 🤷♂️
I want another Traveller's Tales Lego game. Those guys knew what they were doing. Formulaic but fun.
"Solutions 2 Go" is an odd name for a video game distributor, but that's a pretty solid track record they have on Switch so far!
Ever since i played marvel Super Heroes (1&2) i am sold about those lego games lol. So yeah will also give this one a go.
For those that dreaming about Astrobot in Switch platform, let's remind them that is exclusive 1st party game and also such a game even with the speculation hardware of switch 2 it would be at least a ruined experience for it... Chopped graphics, no haptic feedback, no interactive speaker etc.
Also, Lego Horizon has much smoother graphics and 60fps !
Always is better to get 1st party and games that are made for switch from the start and not dropped ports to just fill the already overwhelming library.
No offence!
