It's gotta launch this year for this to make sense, but "early stages" doesn't seem consistent with that.

Gonna launch next year alongside the switch 2 port :-P .

Its EA. Its probably done in a month and will run like shit.

Maybe they'd done some work on it previously, before abandoning it, so don't have to start from square one? Or they feel they can relatively efficiently port the new assets to the engine they used for the first game on Xbox One and PS4? Just spit-balling...

That's a stupid decision. By 2024 the PS4 and especially the Xbox One are pretty much gonna be dead in terms of software sales. I guess if they plan to have a version for the Switch 2 ready as a launch title then it's not completely dumb but I still don't see the point since getting this to run on the PS4 and Xbox One will be even harder than for the Switch 2. Considering this and certain titles like a 2024 Yakuza game still being cross-gen next year some companies are in for a wake-up call that it's time to fully move on now.

Waste of resources imo, will take a long time to downgrade it enough to run on last gen, especially since the game somewhat struggles even on current gen. Would rather see them going all-in on Jedi #3 and the Star Wars shooter they announced.

But why...?

Money, simple.

Waste of time, current gen performance is unacceptable as well.

RedKingXIII (on 01 August 2023)

lmao it will probably be garbage considering how this game runs on current gen hardware.

though if it's not terrible by some miracle ill probably get it on my PS4.

Did this game sell well?

Giggity_goo (on 03 August 2023)

it will probably be on gamepass by the time it comes out

Maybe they got the Switch 2 dev kit, and they are making it for PS4 and Switch 2 at the same time.

I don't see how this is a better idea than solely continuing to fine-tune the PC and ninth generation versions.
At this point it makes me wonder if there will be port to Switch 2, even if it comes out later than these new versions we have confirmed.
