Ina recent interviewwith Airship Syndicate CEO Joe Madureira, we find out more about the Nintendo Switch version of the upcomingDarksiders Genesis.He confirms that it’ll be “100% the same” in terms of content and then continues: “And certainly, it is a different platform technically to work on then some of the others, so we’ll be making some concessions, but the team is working really hard right now to make sure that it’s as good as it can be.” Madureira also said that the development team is targeting the “the highest possible” frame rate and resolution.
Airship Syndicate president Ryan Stefanelli, who also participated in the interview, stated: “We’ve gotten a taste of what the transition is like, and we’re getting a lot of help on [Darksiders Genesis] too, so hopefully Switch players will be happy with it. It’s really cool being able to bring a newDarksidersgame to the Switch. We’re excited about it.” He also mentioned that visually it’s “high-fidelity stuff” going on and that while “there is a challenge making sure that it runs the way it needs to on the Switch,” Airship Syndicate “did start that process much earlier on this project than we did onBattle Chasers.”
