Discovery 2 has launched on Nintendo Switch, marking the next entry in the sandbox builder series first introduced on the platform in 2018.
The new release emphasizes relaxed building, community sharing and exploration; a playable demo is available now on the Nintendo eShop in Europe and Australia, with a US demo scheduled to follow on April 30.
The full digital release is priced at $7.99, with a 20 percent launch discount active until April 25.
Overview and release details
Discovery 2 positions itself as a creative sandbox experience where players construct worlds block by block.
