'World to the West' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch In Early 2018

by Rainier on Nov. 16, 2017 @ 8:44 a.m. PST

World to the West is an action puzzler that will further explore the universe of Teslagrad!

Discover a world of corrupt colonies and forgotten civilizations.

Play as four characters—Lumina the Teslamancer, Knaus the orphan, Miss Teri the mind bender and the gloriously mustachioed strongman, Lord Clonington (each hailing from individual nations and possessing unique identities and abilities) as you explore untamed jungles, frozen tundras and the mysteries of an ancient prophecy.

Be careful though. Nothing is ever what it seems. Will you join us in this journey to the West?

World to the West will be released on Switch early next year, on January 18th, in digital format for 19.99 $/€/£.

"World to the West is about the joy of discovery.” says Peter Meldahl,  CEO of Rain Games. “In this action adventure, we have drawn from the genre’s rich past. It has also been a joy to experiment with a range of mechanics that have never been tried in a game like this before.” Set in the same universe as Teslagrad, a vast world of blue skies and dark caves awaits our fearless adventurers, as they try to unveil the mysteries of an ancient prophecy... and hopefully find a way back home!

Also, Wii U owners shouldn't lose faith: this version is still in development. Ole Ivar Rudi, our Lead Artist, explained on Twitter that "it is being a hard optimization job, but we're working on it as promised".
