Saber Interactive, after pulling off the seemingly impossible by porting CD Projekt RED’s games to Nintendo’s hybrid platform, confirmed that they have several projects for the Nintendo Switch, which now seems to be far more popular than the PlayStation 4/Xbox One duo.

Saber Interactive doesn’t tend to make a new game on its own (their history follows: Will Rock, PC – 2003; TimeShift, PC, PS3, X360 – 2007; Battle: Los Angeles, PC, PS3, X360 – 2011; Inversion, PC, PS3, X360 – 2012; God Mode, PC, PS3, X360 – 2013; R.I.P.D. The Game, PC, PS3, X360 – 2013; MX Nitro, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One – 2017; NBA Playgrounds, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch – 2017; NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch – 2018; World War Z, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One – 2019), but recently, they started to do some porting work, especially for the Nintendo Switch. This resulted in three recent ports, namely Vampyr, Call of Cthulhu, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which wasn’t a surprise for us, but for them as well.

„When the initial port was made, the game originally ran at 10 frames per second, was consuming 50% more memory than Switch and the build size was 20 GB larger than the larger Switch cartridge [which is currently 32 GB, but rumours say 64 GB models will launch next year – the ed.]. Saber removed the dynamic shadows, removed environmental occlusion on the screen and reduced the number of NPCs in the world by 30% to get it,” the executive director, Matthew Karch told GamesBeat a couple of weeks ago.

„I can’t announce anything right now, but we love Switch as a platform, and we are creating some new games that will be on Switch… but I will not announce them right now,” Tim Willits, who formerly worked at id Software, added in his interview with GameReactor.

So we can expect more titles on the Switch by them…
