Vampyr launched for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One last June to generally positive reviews. The action-RPG created by Dontnod Entertainment, the studio responsible for the
Remember Me and
Life is Strange series, tackled with the subject of the 1919 Spanish flu that erupted in London and changed its citizens into hungry, craving blood monsters, at least according to the game's official lore.
French video games publisher Focus Home Interactive reported today its first-half revenues for April-September revealing that Focus generated record revenues of €44.3 million over the first six months of its fiscal year. While the result is impressive, the report confirmed that
Vampyr is coming to Nintendo Switch as "
In Q3, the Group will continue to maximize the potential of the Vampyr license. After the game's impressive success on PC, Xbox One and PS4, it will be Nintendo Switch's turn to welcome the DontNod title to reach an even wider audience."
As of July, Vampyr has sold over 450,00 copies across PS4, Xbox One and PC since its June debut, so the "
impressive success" part is definitely well-earned. The official confirmation of
Vampyr's Nintendo Switch release indicates that the acclaimed RPG title will be re-released in the third quarter of 2018, so every owner of Switch should expect to play
Vampyr at some point between July and September.
