Friends! Update on our Switch launch. The port is out of our hands & we’re waiting for final approval. This can take a little bit & so we can't give you a release date just yet, but it's looking likely it'll slip just past the end of Jan. We’ll let you know as soon as we can, should be quite soon!

Screenshot of dialog with Barathrum the Old from Caves of Qud:

*Barathrum breathes a deep and relieved sigh.*

You are ever a courier of bright tidings, =name=. I am fond of this fact.

Categories and types are decohering in these historic times. Nonetheless, the ritual nourishes us. You are raised to Meyvn, Nyshum. The one who understands.

Hey friends! Unfortunately we are delaying our Switch release til January. Port isn't perfect yet, & given Qud's long dev timeline, what matters most to us is releasing the best possible ver of the game, even if it means a delay

We're confident on the Jan timeline, so we'll see you on Switch soon
