It looks like EB Video games might need unintentionally revealed the discharge of a sport earlier than the writer received the possibility.
EB Video games Australia despatched out a advertising e-mail earlier right this moment, itemizing the most recent information from the current Nintendo Direct Mini — the catch: one of many video games listed wasn’t within the Direct, and hasn’t been introduced for Swap but(?). That sport is Sword Artwork On-line: Alicization Lycoris, an motion sport primarily based on the hit Sword Artwork On-line anime. The sport initially launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Home windows through Steam in July of 2020, however a Swap launch was seemingly off the desk on the time.
The EB Video games itemizing is pretty boilerplate stuff, with none remaining field artwork, however curiously that includes Bandai Namco’s new brand, not the one which was in use when the sport initially launched. No date is listed for the discharge, both, with a window of “2022” being the one timeframe given. Curiously, the worth is about at $89.95, however will not be listed as a placeholder value, suggesting this pricing could have been offered to EB Video games formally.
Both approach, it’s all very unusual, and we’ll have an interest to see the way it pans out. This isn’t the primary time that EB Video games has doubtlessly leaked a Swap port of an current sport — again in late 2017, the retailer listed Aragami for the Swap, a sport that wouldn’t launch on Swap for nearly two years. We’ll be maintaining a tally of the itemizing and Bandai Namco’s official feeds to see what the deal is.
