Fancy Games and Blackbird Interactive have released Escape the Backrooms on Nintendo Switch 2. The launch came as a surprise, since there had been no prior official announcement.
The game first came out on PC, then arrived at the end of May on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, where it became a huge success. The developers say it gained more than 3 million new players. This was also shown by the PlayStation Store ranking for June, where Escape the Backrooms was in first place in both Europe and the USA/Canada, ahead of games like 007 First Light and EA Sports FC 26. The only version still missing was one for Nintendo consoles, and now it has arrived.
The game is based on the Backrooms, an online horror idea about a maze of empty rooms, endless halls, and strange spaces that feel familiar but very wrong. These places are full of hostile entities and a strong feeling of being lost.
Escape the Backrooms is available on the eShop for $12.99. It includes the same content and features as the other versions, with 30 levels, co-op for up to four players, Nintendo Switch Online required, and proximity voice chat.
