de Blob 2, the updated remastered version, has finally been giving a release date for the Nintendo Switch, THQ Nordic has announced today. A digital and retail version will launch on August 28th for only $29.99.
The colourful platformer was originally released all the way back in February 2011 for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and the DS. It was remastered with a higher resolution and frame rate on PC, PS4, and Xbox One within the last year. The original De Blob was also re-released on PC and current consoles.
