‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong’ Now Available on the Nintendo Switch
Nacon’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong hit Steam earlier this year, leaving Switch users to wonder just when they’d be getting their turn. Luckily for them, the wait is over, as the Big Bad Wolf-developed RPG has arrived on the Switch.
Adapted from the fifth edition of Vampire: The Masquerade, Swansong has you play as three vampires – Galeb Bazory, Emem Louis and Leysha – each a member of a different clan in the Camarilla, the secret society that governs most vampires. After a group of mysterious assassins attacked the Boston Camarilla the three are tasked by Hazel Iversen, the new Prince of of the Boston Camarilla, with learning the identity of the attackers as well as the motives underlying the large-scale attack. The orders are simple: infiltrate, investigate and get answers, using their vampiric powers if necessary.
Each of the three vampires you play as feature their own characteristics, as well as Skills and clan-related Disciplines that can be upgraded and used freely. Swansong features a branching storyline, where every choice matters, and gameplay in which every dialogue interaction advances the story. Your decisions will ultimately lead to one of 15 different endings.
In addition to Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Nintendo Switch, Swansong is also currently available for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and the Xbox One.
