Gloomhaven is finally headed to Nintendo Switch, pre-orders discounted
Gloomhaven, the critically acclaimed dungeon crawling board game, has been blessed with an excellent digital version as well — and it’s finally coming to the Nintendo Switch on Sept. 18. The announcement was made Wednesday during a Nintendo Direct streaming presentation.
In Gloomhaven, players take on the role of mercenaries in the titular town of Gloomhaven. Using a novel card-based combat system, the turn-based game also includes legacy-style mechanics. Players change the characters and the game world itself as they play, embarking on over 100 adventures and a branching storyline. In addition to being one of the most popular modern board games, it’s also a hit digital game as well. In our review, Polygon called the port “remarkable.”
Gloomhaven Gold Edition, which goes up for pre-order today on the Nintendo eShop, will also include Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, a critically acclaimed standalone expansion as well as a set of solo scenarios. Pre-orders receive a 10% discount, and also get a special set of character skins. While the storefront page is not yet live, pricing is expected to be announced later today.
