Battle Chasers Nightwar gets Animated Intro, Nintendo Switch version delayed

Nintendo Switch fans who've been eagerly awaiting Joe Madureira's RPG video game adaptation and follow up to his comic series, Battle Chasers, are going to have to wait a little longer. THQ Nordic and Madureira's Airship Syndicate (the developer) have officially announced that the Switch version, which was once (briefly) announced as a timed exclusive, will be delayed.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar, which was originally started as a Kickstarter project, before being scooped up by THQ Nordic, continues the story of the comic book that Madureira started back in 1998. The game is being developed as a traditional, turned-based RPG, with an art style very close to the source material. The Xbox One, PS4 and PC version of Nightwar remains on track for its previously announced October 3 release.

To whet the appetite of gamers, the studio has released an animated intro by Powerhouse Animation Studio, the same team behind the Netflix animated Castlevania series.
