Die By The Blade to Launch on Nintendo Switch in 2022, Kwalee Joins Grindstone and Triple Hill Interactive for Global Release
Nintendo Switch owners can look forward to a new entry in the sword fighting genre as "Die By The Blade" is set to launch worldwide on the Nintendo eShop in 2022.
This unique fighting game is the result of a collaboration between publisher Kwalee and developers Grindstone and Triple Hill Interactive, bringing their combined expertise to the Switch platform. A Modern Take on Classic Fighting Games Drawing clear inspiration from critically acclaimed titles such as "Bushido Blade," "Way of the Samurai," and the "Dark Souls" series, Die By The Blade offers a fresh perspective on weapon-based fighting games.
The development team is focused on creating a gameplay experience in which every move counts, raising the stakes with a dynamic one-hit-kill combat system.
Players will have to master fast-paced sword fighting mechanics and choose from a diverse range of playstyles. Playable Character Variety and Customization At launch, Die By The Blade features seven playable characters, each with their own distinct backstories and a suite of customization options.
Players are encouraged to experiment with a variety of weapons—each of which fundamentally influences their chosen character’s move set.
Whether it’s the precise swings of the Katana, the swift agility of the Wakizashi, or the heavy, relentless attacks of the Nodachi, each weapon brings a new layer of depth and tactical choice to the gameplay. Industry Leaders Express Enthusiasm for the Partnership Max Everingham, head of PC and console publishing at Kwalee, praised the development talents of Triple Hill Interactive and voiced his own excitement about bringing Die By The Blade to a global audience, especially those eager for a challenging one-hit-kill sword fighting experience on PC and consoles. Peter Nagy, founder and CEO of Grindstone, shared similar enthusiasm, stating that the team is delighted to welcome Kwalee as the worldwide publisher for Die By The Blade.
Nagy highlighted the alignment of vision between the companies and expressed confidence in Kwalee's ability to lead the game to a successful multi-platform launch in 2022. Nintendo Switch, eShop, and Genre Impact Die By The Blade will be distributed digitally through the Nintendo eShop, taking full advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s portable and versatile gameplay capabilities.
With its innovative blend of fast, tactical swordplay and challenging one-hit-kill combat, the game aims to carve a niche for itself among fans of fighting and action genres.
The release will further expand Kwalee’s growing roster of published titles and continue Grindstone and Triple Hill Interactive’s track record for delivering distinctive action experiences. Stay tuned for more updates as Die By The Blade approaches its highly anticipated launch on Nintendo Switch in 2022.
