Soulcalibur VI Team Still Undecided On Port For Nintendo Switch

It has been more than a year since the release of Soulcalibur VI: fans on the competing Xbox and PlayStation have indulged in the game already atop of PC, but fans on Nintendo Switch, however, have yet to get their hands on the latest entry for the series. Ahead of the games release, Producer Motohiro Okubo shared that the team has yet to prioritize a respected port before the game’s release.

Which is completely understandable since the tech is still fairly new and foreign for developers to tinker with when bringing visually demanding titles like Soulcalibur to the platform. The same can be said for Bandai Namco-published, relative fighter Dragon Ball FighterZ which received a Switch release following the initial debut.

However, now in 2020 it looks that the chances of the game’s release for Nintendo Switch is still unsure. In an interview with fan forum Soulcalibur Community, Okubo shares that the team has yet to suggest making the version still.

If I have to answer seriously, I think I remember telling you previously that we’re not sure we can port the game to Nintendo Switch. I said we have to examine and look into that, and well… When I said that, I didn’t know if we’d have a Season 2 yet and now that we have one, I’ll be totally honest by saying we didn’t have time to look into that. So basically, the situation hasn’t changed much.

Alike what the game’s producer reiterated, Bandai Namco Entertainment have still yet to conjure whether or not the team will make the Switch version for Soulcalibur VI. This is primarily due to the limited space leading up to Season 2 for the game as the developer at the time was unsure if it would arrive.

Okubo later on in the interview tells that fan support is the solitary drive for Season 2 to arrive answering for the publisher being satisfied with this entry. When questioned about having a larger budget for the project, Okubo directs his interest more towards crafting more roster additions & stages rather than including Switch owners to the fun via a port.
