Nimble, the newly-founded game developer based in Washington State, today announced that Earthfall: Alien Horde – the revival of FPS hit Earthfall, which has already been released for Xbox One, PS4 and Steam – will release on Nintendo Switch on October 11, 2019.
In addition to Earthfall, to its fullest and with all updates, Earthfall: Alien Horde brings an online co-op mode and a completely new, local four-player wireless co-op mode exclusively on Nintendo Switch. The title will provide players with plenty of content and will be available for a price of $19.99 at Nintendo eShop.
“Bringing Earthfall: Alien Horde to the Nintendo Switch made perfect sense to us,” said Russell Williams of Nimble. “The ability to play with your friends anywhere — online or with local wireless play — is really going to be a fun and unique feature that works extremely well with our 4-player co-operative FPS. Switch is a great console and Earthfall: Alien Horde is great on Switch. We hope everyone has fun taking on the apocalyptic horde of aliens and their overlords.”

- A Horde of Content — 15 unique locations, including 11 campaign chapters, 5 invasion maps, and tons of unlockable items!
