Switch Game Released Without Devs' Knowledge and Lacking Features

The Nintendo Switch version of RPG platformer Indivisible launched today, and developer Lab Zero Games had absolutely no idea. Furthermore, the Switch port has been released missing co-op and new game plus modes, as well as other recent additions. Posting on Twitter, Lab Zero Games’ Mike Zaimont said “our team found out because people on Twitter sent us congratulations! I had no idea!” He went on to say that the Switch version is great and running at a stable framerate, but it appears that the old build of the game has been added to the Nintendo eShop, rather than the current version. In addition, the store page features the wrong artwork, and appeared with no PR lead up or release date announcement. “This launch does not represent the quality standards of Lab Zero,” said Zaimont. “It just doesn't. I'm sorry. It wasn't us.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/07/the-first-15-minutes-of-indivisible"] It’s likely that the situation is due to Indivisible’s publisher, 505 Games. We’ve reached out to both Lab Zero Games and 505 Games for further comment. Indivisible has landed on Switch with a 20% discount, and if it looks like your kind of thing then you should give it a try. Our glowing review of the original PC version called it “one of the most wildly creative RPGs of the year”. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.
