Stray is officially coming to Nintendo Switch.
The game, developed by Annapurna Interactive, will be released later this year.
Stray was critically acclaimed when it was released on PS4, PS5 and PC in July 2022. It was then released on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One in August 2023.
The game has players taking control of a stray cat in a post-apocalypic world. After falling down a hole into a walled city, the cat has to find a way back to the surface while also interacting with the city’s robotic residents.
VGC’s Stray review called it one of Annapurna’s best releases to date. “Stray is a masterclass in environmental design, with one of the most engrossingly detailed game worlds we’ve explored,” our review read.
“Like its protagonist it’s a little on the short side, but what’s here will stay with you for a long time. Essential.”
Annapurna Pictures is making an animated movie based the game.
The media company’s Annapurna Animation division will be handling production of the film, which will tell the story of the cat-based adventure game.
Annapurna’s co-head of animation Robert Baird told Entertainment Weekly that he’s focusing on the term ‘hopepunk’, which was originally conceived by the game’s developer BlueTwelve.
