With For Honor arriving on PS4 (with PS4 Pro support), Xbox One and PC on Valentine’s Day, I asked about the impending launch of Nintendo Switch, and if VandenBerghe and his team would consider bringing the game to it, or indeed working on another title for the home/portable hybrid console. The answer was that it would be unlikely.
“It’s not something that we’re focused on. We’ve been in development on For Honor for a long time and the question of ‘Will this game work?’ is the big thing. I just want to get the game out on the core platform and see who plays it. Once we’re there and we’ve established if we’re successful, then I think we can look at where we’re gonna go from here. It’s weird, but it’s not even a question we’re addressing right now.”
Considering the visual fidelity of For Honor, it’s unsurprising to see it skip a Switch version, but with that platform’s dearth of games, I had to ask.
