The heist is on as The Swindle comes to Switch


Curve Digital has announced that The Swindle is breaking in on Switch this October 11, having seen successful heists pulled on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS Vita and Wii U.



The Swindle is a steampunk cybercrime caper about breaking into buildings, stealing oodles of cash, and hotfooting it from the police. Players must platform their way across beautifully drawn levels, utilising an array of lo-fi stealth mechanics in their pursuit of the perfect loot grab. Lovers of silent takedowns and hacking mini-games need look no further.


All the buildings players will be robbing in The Swindle are randomly-generated so they’ll never carry out the same heist twice. Each area is kitted out with patrolling robots, vigilant security cameras and keen-eyed guards, all intent on halting players in their search for cold, hard cash. In between missions, and from the safety of a rickety airship high above London, players can modify their thief with new skills, tools, and all manner of advanced technological horrors.
