News: A new third party title is heading to the Switch next month where you can play solo or with couch co-op.

Maximum Games has revealed that their game Troll and I will be available for $29.99 on the Nintendo Switch beginning August 15, 2017. Additionally, Troll and I will receive a major patch for console and PC versions on July 21.

"Troll and I is the perfect first entry for us into the Nintendo Switch system," said Christina Seelye, CEO of Maximum Games. "The cooperative gameplay lends itself perfectly to the local co-op features of the platform, where two friends can work together to battle the challenges they face as a team."

Troll and I invites players on an enchanting journey with the game's two main heroes: the nimble, adventurous, adolescent Otto and the powerful, elusive Troll. With the ability to play solo or with a friend in local couch co-op, players must guide Otto and Troll through the majestic mountains and lush forests of the Nordic wilderness as they try to dodge and defeat various enemies, including mythical orcs and ruthless hunters.

The game was previously released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in March of this year. Those versions will receive a major patch on July 21st implementing the following improvements: addition of a mini-map; additional checkpoints; Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty settings; increased crafting speed; new tutorials; additional text hints; increased resources for crafting and survivability; overall balance improvements. The Nintendo Switch version of the game will also see these changes when it launches in August.

Troll and I was developed by Spiral House and is published by Maximum Games. Check out the Nintendo Switch trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you pick up Troll and I on the Nintendo Switch?
