American Arcadia scores a Switch release on May 15th

Developed by Out Of The Blue and published by Raw Fury, American Arcadia is a retro futuristic puzzle / platforming adventure that mixes 2D and 3D gameplay. First released on PC, the game is now coming to Nintendo Switch on May 15th.

To celebrate the release announcement, a brand new trailer for the game was shared:

And here’s some details and screenshots:

Welcome to Arcadia! A 70’s retro-futuristic metropolis where all its citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort. But what its blissful citizens are oblivious to is the fact that they’re being broadcast live 24/7 to millions of spectators in their homes! Arcadia is not an ordinary city, but the most watched reality TV show on the planet – where a drop in popularity ratings comes at the highest cost: death.

This spells doom for Trevor Hills, an average man with an uninteresting life whose daily routine gets interrupted when he suddenly discovers that his life is not what it seems. Trevor’s only hope to survive is a mysterious voice guiding him through American Arcadia’s backstage. Behind this voice is Ángela Solano, an engineer that works at American Arcadia and is determined to help him escape. Using her technical prowess and wits, she will manipulate the world around Trevor, clearing the path to his freedom.

  • Two Experiences in One Game: Control two different characters in two different worlds with unique gameplay. Play as Trevor to flee Arcadia in a 2.5D puzzle-platformer all while exploring and hacking in first person to help him as Angela. Work together to defeat the powerful corporation that is trying to take them down.
  • Escape a ’70s Televised Utopia: Experience a gripping new adventure crafted with all the trademark polish, artistry and mystery from the studio behind the award-winning Call of the Sea. Discover a rich story and unforgettable characters set in the world’s most dangerous reality TV show and filled with twists, turns and lies at every turn.
  • Vibrant Characters & Performances: The incomparable voice talents of Yuri Lowenthal (Marvel’s Spider-Man, Prince of Persia, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, Star Trek: Resurgence) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Call of the Sea) breathe life into the world and characters of American Arcadia.

American Arcadia (Switch – eShop) comes out on May 15th in Europe and North America.
