The puzzle-solving, island-exploring RiME has finally been given a concrete release date for the Nintendo Switch. It will be available on November 14th in North American and November 17th in Europe. It can be purchased either through the Switch eShop for $29.99/€34.99/£29.99 or in a retail special edition for $39.99/€44.99/£39.99.
The price of physical Switch games has been known to be higher than their digital counterparts mostly due to higher costs associated with cartridges. To help offset the physical edition’s price point, a download code for Rime’s soundtrack will be included.
“As big fans of Nintendo, we truly appreciate our fans’ patience as Tantalus and Tequila Works continue working on RiME on Nintendo Switch,” said Raúl Rubio Munárriz, CEO and creative director of Tequila Works. “We are all committed to making sure all players get the high-quality experience they deserve.”
Rime is developed by Tequila Works and stars a young boy exploring a mysterious island after being shipwrecked. Its visual style has been likened to Studio Ghibli films and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
