‘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.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
