"PC, PS4, Xbox One and...Nintendo Switch?" As I've said many times before I've typed out the three systems more times than I can count, typically leaving out "Wii U" and "Switch" for many years. But nearly every week another publisher steps in and says enough, and either pledges to support a Nintendo system, or toys with the idea.
Epic Games is the culprit this time, as Donald Mustard, worldwide creative director for the company, answered a fan inquiry regarding the Switch. When asked, Mustard stated that Epic is interested on bringing the game to the system, stating "hopefully we do that at some point!" It's not a confirmation that it's even in the works, but this is how talks with Nintendo start if Epic thinks it could be a profitable endeavor and their team is up to the task. Hey, many studios have outright said "our project isn't possible on the Switch, period," so this isn't a shutdown.
The only holdup would be cross-play. Currently Sony is still holding out, even going so far as the only major publisher not participating in Minecraft's massive cross-play initiative that involves Apple (iOS) and Google (Android). If someone, one day can convince them, gaming would enter a bright new era where nearly anyone on any platform could theoretically play with each other.
