Velocity 2X comes to Switch this August


Curve Digital and developers FuturLab have announced that Velocity 2X will soon becoming to Nintendo Switch, in fact it is set to release this coming August.

This will be the first time a Velocity title has appeared on a Nintendo platform. A direct successor to Velocity, Velocity 2X follows the story of Lt. Kai Tana, a brave pilot who has found herself stranded a long way from home after getting sucked through a black hole. Discovered and experimented on by an evil alien race called the Vokh, Kai Tana has recently escaped with her “Quarp Jet” and must outrun her captors.

“As big fans of both arcade shmups and action-platformers, Velocity 2X has always held a special place in our hearts,” said Cédrine Décoret, Product Manager. “Playing it on the Switch’s pristine, handheld screen, it feels better than ever.”

Having first released back in 2014, it has been met with critical acclaim each time it released on a new platform.
