Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Announced For Nintendo Switch, Releases April 2022

Developer Aspyr has announced that it would be bringing the fan-beloved Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to Nintendo Switch during the latest Direct presentation. Check out the trailer down below.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the Switch is a port of the game’s Wii version, featuring heavy use of motion controls for slashing enemies with the Lightsaber. The Duel mode also makes a return in this version, allowing friends to duel each other to the each in splitscreen multiplayer. Pre-orders for the game are live now (listed for $19.99).

While textures, resolution, and frame-rate seem to have been somewhat cleaned up, fans should note this is not a remaster but just a simple port – so it’s best to keep expectations in check. Developer Krome Studios will also be helping out with the porting process, as revealed by the studio’s official Twitter.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed finally releases on April 20, 2022. In addition to this, Nintendo also showcased a new trailer for Kirby and the Forgotten Land alongside a release date for Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
