One of the latest Pokemon-like games won’t appear on all platforms this week. Initially, Freedom Games and TRAGsoft announced Coromon would come to the Switch and PC on March 31, 2022. However, a last minute issue with some features resulted in a delay. As such, the PC version will appear as expected this week. However, the Switch release won’t.
Here’s the full statement. It noted specifically that cross-platform multiplayer and online features, which could relate to general multiplayer or cross-platform saves, weren’t working as expected.
This is definitely not an announcement we ever wanted to make, but we want to be as transparent and honest as possible with you all. While working on our Nintendo Switch port of Coromon, we ran into some unexpected snags when it comes to online features and cross platform multiplayer. We want to make sure that the experience we bring to you all on Switch is going to be the best that it can be, and in order to do this, we have to delay the Switch launch. We’re hopeful that this delay won’t be too terribly long, as we know that you all are very excited to play Coromon on the go and against your friends/other researchers.
With all of that being said, we will still be launching on Steam this Thursday, March 31! The Steam build will include multiplayer and cross-platform saves. Your saves from the Steam demo will also be able to be transferred over to the full version of the game. Once we do launch on Switch you will also be able to play cross-platform. We can’t wait to bring to bring Coromon to Nintendo Switch, so we are working around the clock to get it there and will update you all once we have a new release date.
Coromon will come to PCs via Steam on March 31, 2022, and the Switch version doesn’t have a new release date yet. There is also a PC demo available.
