GN Version 5.0

Liberated is coming to the Switch on June 2nd, 2020, bringing with it a unique graphic novel-style gameplay. It's certainly a striking presentation, but it's not one that came together easily.

In an interview with NintendoSoup, the dev team mentions that they took a lot of time marrying the comic book feel with interesting gameplay. The game actually went through three separate iterations before the team landed on something that satisfied their aspirations.

The game's unique look certainly lends itself to storytelling, and the dev team wanted to make sure players could experience Liberated's story as they see fit. This is why the game includes a Player mode for traditional gamers, and a Reader mode for those who want to take it easy and focus on the story.
