During a live reading of Grim Fandango in celebration of the game’s 20th anniversary at the E3 Coliseum, Double Fine’s Tim Schafer announced that Grim Fandango Remastered and Broken Age will be released for the Nintendo Switch “in the next few months.”
Grim Fandango is one of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time, with unforgettable characters and a unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore. Players jump in as Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death to help untangle him from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation. The story has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better.
Broken Age is a timeless coming-of-age story of barfing trees and talking spoons. Vella Tartine and Shay Volta are two teenagers in strangely similar situations, but radically different worlds. Players can freely switch between the characters and their individual stories, helping them take control of their own lives, and dealing with the unexpected adventures that follow. The game also features an original orchestral soundtrack plus an all-star vocal cast, including Elijah Wood, Jennifer Hale, and Jack Black.
In case you missed it, the live reading of Grim Fandango (with a special appearance by Jack Black) has been embedded above.
