Nintendo Switch games blow - Hit PS4 and Xbox One title NOT coming to hybrid console

Nintendo Switch owners have had a bumper first year so far, with a great selection of must-have games already on the console.

From Super Mario Odyssey, to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - there’s something for everyone.

However, it looks like one hit game on the PS4 and Xbox One will not be making the move to the Nintendo Switch.

Life Is Strange Before The Storm just had its third and final episode released this week.

The prequel to the much-loved time travelling adventure has received a great reception from fans, with Deck Nine Games nailing the feel of the original.

The original series also last week received a release on smartphones, with all episodes available to download on iOS and Android devices.

But this looks to be the only Life Is Strange release away from home consoles for the time being.

With the Switch riding high in the sales charts, Express.co.uk wondered if Life Is Strange Before The Storm would be heading to the hybrid console.

The Switch supports the Unity engine, which Before The Storm is built with, and a Square Enix bigwig previously said the console runs the engine well.

That may have raised hopes amongst fans that they could soon be taking Life Is Strange Before The Storm on the go with the Nintendo Switch.

But a Square Enix spokesperson has told us that there are “currently no plans” to bring Life Is Strange Before The Storm to the Nintendo Switch.

So for the time being the PS4, Xbox One and PC are the only places you can play the Life Is Strange prequel.

The news comes after Express.co.uk revealed a Life Is Strange Before The Storm season two boost.

Zak Garriss, lead writer on Life is Strange Before the Storm, recently spoke about the possibility of Deck Nine Games returning to Arcadia Bay.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, he said: “We’ve loved working in the Life is Strange universe and would consider any opportunity that felt right to return to Arcadia Bay, for sure.”

The comments will surely raise hopes among fans about the possibility of a second season of Life Is Strange Before The Storm.

Zak also spoke about what it was like following in the footsteps of the original game’s developer Dontnod and how Deck Nine approached the challenge.

He said: “Dontnod accomplished something incredible with the first Life is Strange, creating a world filled with dark and lovely characters that resonated so strongly with fans. 

“In the end, we decided to focus on what we as fans loved about the first game, hoping that if we loved what we were making in Before the Storm, fans might love it, too. 

“We couldn’t be more honoured with how the community’s responded – we read every letter, every post online. 

“Getting to make a story for this community has been a privilege and a joy for us at Deck Nine.”
