Slain: Back From Hell lands on Nintendo Switch, European eShop lists December 7 release
Slain: Back From Hell, the remastered gothic action title associated with publisher Digerati Distribution and developer Wolf Brew Games, has appeared on the European Nintendo eShop with a December 7 release date for Nintendo Switch.
The listing confirms the remaster is headed to Nintendo's current console after earlier plans for a Wii U port were abandoned.
Background and development context
The game began life as a retro-styled, heavy-metal-infused action platformer and later received the Back From Hell update that retooled many core systems.
Publisher Digerati Distribution has been involved in distributing the title; the company previously cancelled a planned Wii U edition, explaining that sales on the Wii U platform were too weak to justify developing and shipping a port.
What the eShop listing shows
The European Nintendo eShop entry for Slain: Back From Hell lists a December 7 release date for Nintendo Switch and includes the official product description and trailer.
The store page highlights gameplay features such as elemental melee and magical combat, multiple weapon choices, concealed secrets, and a series of escalating boss encounters.
The listing also notes a heavy metal soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant, formerly of Celtic Frost.
Quoted material rewritten for clarity
Digerati Distribution communicated internally and publicly that the Wii U version was cancelled because projected sales figures on that platform did not support the costs of porting.
The eShop listing itself provides the official release window for the Switch edition rather than commentary on past platform decisions.
Platform availability and regional notes
As of the eShop listing, the December 7 date is confirmed on the European Nintendo eShop.
A North American eShop entry or publisher announcement detailing a simultaneous release has not been published at the time of this report.
Nintendo Switch remains the target platform for this published release, with the eShop serving as the digital storefront for the title.
Where to watch for updates
Readers can monitor the European and North American Nintendo eShop listings and official Digerati Distribution channels for further confirmation, pricing details, and any additional platform or regional rollout information.
