A Hat in Time Is Heading to the Nintendo Switch; New Paid DLC and Split-Screen Co-Op Coming
The kickstarted 3D indie platformer, A Hat in Time, is coming to the Nintendo Switch soon, publisher Humble Bundle and developer Gears for Breakfast announced today (via Gematsu). A Hat in Time is heavily inspired by other classic 3D platformers like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie originally releasing last year for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
During Gamescom 2018, the developers not only announced that the title would be coming to Switch, but that the action-platformer will be getting new downloadable content, a free update that adds local split-screen cooperative play, and much more content. You can check out the announcement trailer for the Seal the Deal DLC right below:
“The “Seal the Deal” add-on will launch for the PC version on September 13. It will be free for all Kickstarter backers, free for everyone for the first 24 hours of release, and thereafter cost $4.99. It will include the following new content:
- An all-new chapter set on the Arctic Cruise
- A new ridiculously difficult mode called Death Wish
- Six new Time Rifts
- Over a dozen flairs, dyes, costumes, badges and camera filters
Additionally, a separate, completely free add-on that enables local split-screen co-op will also be released for the PC version on September 13.”
Apparently, Gears for Breakfast has stated that the console version of A Hat in Time will not be getting the new paid content. Also, the split-screen update will only be coming to PC as of right now. Hopefully, down the line, they bring the cooperative play update to consoles, especially to the Switch since it’s perfect for split-screen play.
A Hat in Time is now available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with the Switch release coming soon. Will you guys be picking up this platformer anytime soon? Or do you think you’ll wait for the Switch release? Let us know in the comments section below!
