“As a Nintendo fan, I’m thrilled that Switch players will
finally get to experience It Takes Two,” said Josef Fares, Founder
and Game Director at Hazelight Studios. “Turn Me Up Games has an
excellent record in bringing world class games to Nintendo Switch,
and we trust their expertise in bringing It Takes Two’s fantastical
world to the platform.”
Ported by Turn Me Up Games, a veteran studio that specializes in
Nintendo Switch games, players can dive into It Takes Two’s couch
co-op with a second set of Joy-Cons, gamepad or by linking two
Switch consoles for local play. Players who own the game can also
invite a friend to play for free using Friend’s Pass**.
Additionally, It Takes Two’s universal tale of relationships can be
experienced worldwide with new voice-overs in Japanese, French,
German and Spanish, as well as subtitles in multiple languages.
“We’re huge fans of Hazelight and It Takes Two, and are thrilled
to be entrusted to develop this game for the Nintendo Switch,” said
Scott Cromie at Turn Me Up Games. “We’ve worked with Josef in the
past to bring his BAFTA winning game, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons,
to the Switch, and this collaboration allows us to bring yet
another award-winning title to the platform. Players can expect the
same adventure and immersive storytelling of It Takes Two - that
some already know and love - on the Nintendo Switch.”
The critically-acclaimed title lets players untangle the
complicated web Cody and May are trapped in thanks to a magic spell
that turns them into dolls, all while encountering ridiculous
challenges around every corner. The unpredictable nature of each
level will bring players through a uniquely metaphorical gameplay
experience that tells a universal story of relationships, as Cody
and May must work together to save their fractured marriage on the
brink of divorce. Whether it’s vacuum cleaners on the loose, suave
love gurus with lots of opinions or a night club in desperate need
of a DJ, obstacles will pop up around every corner, making for some
hilariously heartfelt moments.
It Takes Two is available for pre-order on September 13 and
launches in retail and digital storefronts on November 4, 2022 for
Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED for $39.99.
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC
(Origin and Steam) players can download the game now for
$39.99.
