Runbow Finds Its Footing & Gets Solid Release Date
The developers have worked out the kinks and Runbow is now set to arrive on the Switch on July 3, 2018. The game was a hit on the Wii U and should bring people together for more rivalry on the Switch!
The colorful award-winning running chaos party game Runbow finally got a solid release date for PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch™, it’s the 3rd of July for the digital version (one day before Independence Day). The retail Deluxe Version will come a bit later in Q3, including all DLCs and two beautiful stickers!
Runbow features an eye-catching color mechanic that has racers brawl against each other while objects and platforms appear or disappear based on the continually changing background color. All multiplayer modes can be played by up to 9 players simultaneously online, while it features 8-player local multiplayer madness on Nintendo Switch as well as 4-player local chaos on PlayStation®4. Besides that, it contains several co-op modes, also playable with that amount of players, as well as a bevy of content in its single-player modes that will test the skills and minds of any seasoned platformer.
