A timeless Greek epic is coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Little more than a year after Achilles: Legends Untold debuted on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Polish developer and publisher Dark Point Games is bringing their action RPG featuring the eponymous Greek hero to the Switch on January 23rd.
Few Greek epics have been told as often — or over as many different mediums — as those of Achilles, “the greatest warrior the ancient world has ever seen.” But then again, not every ancient hero has a part of the human body named after them.
In Achilles: Legends Untold, players are dropped into the legendary hero’s shoes after the War of Troy. Sadly, Brad Pitt is nowhere to be found in this retelling, and Achilles returns to Greece to find his homeland plunged into chaos. Players are tasked with unveiling a multilayered story while exploring ancient Mycenae, improving their skills, and perfecting an isometric combat style against challenging enemies.
Below you can check out the Switch announcement trailer and a summary of Achilles: Legends Untold (via Steam).
