Craft, build, fight and explore in the ultimate sea-faring sandbox experience heading to Nintendo Switch next month!
Attention all adventurers and explorers, the wait is nearly over! Bohemia Interactive, the renowned developer behind hit games such as Arma and DayZ, is back with an exciting new release – Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition. The highly-anticipated game will be available exclusively for digital download on the Nintendo Switch platform on June 20th, marking the company’s second foray into the world of Nintendo gaming.
Priced at $24.99 USD/€24.99 EUR, Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition promises to be the ultimate open-world adventure game. Set in a charming, low-poly universe, the game offers a seamless gaming experience optimized for the Nintendo Switch console. With its core gameplay mechanics centered around exploration, sailing, crafting, building, and survival, Ylands offers an engaging and unique experience for players of all ages.
Players will have the opportunity to set sail on their own customizable ship, traversing six distinct regions filled with exotic flora, fauna, and exciting random encounters. As players embark on this grand adventure, they will have thousands of items at their disposal to craft and build their way through a comprehensive tech tree, adding depth and variety to the gameplay.
But what sets Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition apart from its predecessors is the option for players to play the game offline. This feature, a first for the series, allows for a fully immersive gaming experience without the need for an active internet connection. All player progress, creations, and game worlds will be stored locally, ensuring uninterrupted sailing no matter where players choose to play.
Moreover, the game’s pricing structure has also been revamped for its release on the Nintendo Switch platform. While the original PC version of Ylands is free-to-play, Bohemia Interactive has opted for a simpler pay-upfront premium model for the Nintendo Switch Edition. This means no pay-to-progress mechanics, less grinding for resources, and no monetization efforts.
Additionally, all future updates for the game will be included at no extra cost, with optional cosmetic DLC packages also available for purchase.
But that’s not all – Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition has been optimized to take full advantage of the Nintendo Switch hardware. With a stable framerate and a user interface designed for both TV and handheld play, players can expect a seamless and immersive experience.
Parents, rejoice! Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition offers a safe gaming environment for players of all ages, with zero microtransaction prompts and no risk of negative interactions with other players. With no graphic violence or gore in the game, it is the perfect option for young players looking for an engaging and creative experience.
Speaking of creativity, Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition offers not one, but two exciting game modes – Adventure and Creative. The Adventure mode follows a story-centric approach, while the Creative mode allows players to unleash their imagination with unlimited building opportunities. And for those who prefer to jump straight into the action, the game will also feature various buildings, ships, and pets available for purchase through the Nintendo eShop.
With its full release just around the corner, fans can now add Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition to their Nintendo eShop wishlist. Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure and put your skills to the test in a magnificent and enchanting world.
