Blue Fire, which was first announced for Switch in March, will also launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam following its debut on the Nintendo hardware, publisher Graffiti Games and developer Robi Studios announced. All versions of the game are due out in Q1 2021.
Originally slated to launch this summer, Blue Fire was delayed “as a result of industry-wide changes due to COVID-19, which have led to some logistical delays in the game’s release.”
“After revealing Blue Fire for Nintendo Switch, the gaming community has been wanting to know if Blue Fire will release on other systems and today we’re excited to share that it will,” said Robi Studios CEO Gabriel Rosa in a press release. “Whether playing on Switch, Xbox One, PS4, or PC, you will need to master movement by learning ways to use it to your advantage, especially during very hard platforming segments that I believe are either very rare or have never been seen in the 3D space.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Graffiti Games:
