Chained Echoes for Switch is getting a new physical Complete Edition release
Deck13 and Matthias Linda's newly formed studio Umami Tiger alongside Super Rare Games have announced a new Chained Echoes physical release for Switch featuring the base game and the Ashes of Elrant DLC on a single cartridge.
It will be available here and here for both editions with shipping expected for September. The original physical release for Chained Echoes was in the works at First Press Games, but Matthias Linda published an update about terminating the relationship with First Press Games due to reasons explained here. Alongside the new announcement, Deck13 and Matthias Linda have a message to share.
Chained Echoes and the Ashes of Elrant DLC are both now available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). Read Adam's review of the base game here.

A Message from the Deck13 and Matthias Linda:
Today, we're happy to share a positive update. We're working with the trusted physical publisher, Super Rare Games, to finally bring Chained Echoes to Nintendo Switch in both Standard and Deluxe physical editions.
Super Rare Games have a strong reputation for releasing exciting Nintendo Switch games, and with their reliable shipping and customer service support, we are confident that this time they are a trusted partner and there will be no issues on customers receiving their orders.
We know that many kickstarter backers of the game have been waiting for the physical editions they originally supported. To honour that commitment, eligible Kickstarter backers who pledged for a physical copy will receive the game at no additional cost. We will be contacting affected backers directly with further details on how this process will work.
While we're pleased to be able to support Kickstarter backers, we're unfortunately unable to assist with purchases made through First Press Games. Any enquiries relating to those orders will need to be directed to First Press Games directly.
This release will be available as a limited pre-order through Super Rare Games, with shipping currently expected to take place in September.
Thank you again for your continued support and patience. After such a long wait, we're excited to finally take this step forward and get these physical editions into your hands.
