The End Has Arrived...But Your Trials Are Just Beginning
Accept the Challenge of The End Is Nigh, Available Now for Nintendo Switch™
SANTA ANA, Calif., Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nicalis, Inc. is proud to announce that the post-apocalyptic platform adventure The End Is Nigh is now available for Nintendo Switch. Fans of neo-classic video games can now play one of the world's finest as either a physical Game Card—complete with free launch edition bonus goodies at retail—or as a digital download from the Nintendo eShop.
In The End Is Nigh, a lone survivor named Ash travels through dangerous terrain in search of a head, a body and a soul. His goal is to construct a friend who can share in the joy of playing the video game cartridges that still remain after all the other players are gone. Ash survives by leaping, hanging from ledges and swimming through toxic waters, smashing through barriers and outsmarting bloodthirsty mutants with perfectly timed jumps and precision maneuvers.
"The End Is Nigh is one of the most challenging video games you'll ever play," says Nicalis president Tyrone Rodriguez. "But it's never frustrating because we let you keep trying, as many times as it takes, until you succeed. And it feels great when you do, because it's like you perfected a new skill...it actually makes you a better player."
The End Is Nigh is the newest project from beloved indie game designer Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel. The hardcore game mechanics, dark humor and audio-visual aesthetics represent a natural evolution from his previous games.
Launch editions of the game box include a full-color instruction booklet and a squishy Ash toy made of sticky silicone, with stickers on the outside calling attention to the "Ash-kicking goodies inside." These bonuses are not exclusive to any retailer and will be included with the entirety of The End Is Nigh's initial production run.
Developed and published by Nicalis, Inc. for Nintendo Switch, The End Is Nigh is now available as both a physical retail release (in North America) and a digital download from the Nintendo eShop (in both North America and Europe). The game has been rated M by the ESRB.
