No, its still built with 7th gen version as the foundation.

They didn't take the PC build per se.

Uh, it would probably take way more effort to port an old version of the engine to Switch and then add some of the changes from the upcoming PC version than it would to take the upcoming PC version and downgrade it until it runs well enough. That's because for the latter, it's mostly done and it's just a matter of downgrading. Taking the 7th gen version would require doing some actual changes twice, which I reckon is more work than a relatively simple downgrade since the engine already runs on Switch.

EDIT: And just as I write that, I run into news confirming that is actually is a port of the 7th gen version. That seems like a fairly curious decision, especially since it's sold with the same name as the upcoming PC/PS4/Xbox release, but I guess it must have made sense.

Wow, apparently all console versions are based on the 360/PS3 version (CryEngine 3) and missing the Ascension mission. That sure is baffling. Remastered looks nothing like the 360/PS3 version. Seems like it was too much work to bring over the PC version to consoles? Meh.
