A popular and engaging video game that has captured the attention of players is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch platform, following its initial release as an exclusive title for Xbox just a few months ago.
The game, called Little Rocket Lab, which combines elements of RPG and factory automation, is scheduled to end its exclusivity on Xbox consoles just in time for the holiday season. Developers Teenage Astronauts and publishers No More Robots have officially announced that the game will be available for the Nintendo Switch and its successor, the Switch 2, starting from December 10.
Despite being only recently launched in early October on digital platforms, Little Rocket Lab has already garnered a devoted fan base due to its engaging and cozy gameplay experience. The storyline follows a young engineer named Morgan, who embarks on a quest to build a rocket ship while also renovating her childhood home into a factory. Players start small and progress by exploring, gathering resources, and strategically planning each phase of the project.
In addition to constructing the factory, Morgan develops close relationships with the inhabitants of a nearby village, who she can assist and befriend, as reported by All Out Gaming. The game has captivated players, with many Reddit users confessing to being addicted to it.
One Reddit user shared their experience of staying up all night playing the game’s demo, cautioning others who share their weakness for factory games, expressing how addictive the gameplay is. This sentiment was reflected by another player seeking help for their addiction.
The game’s art style has also received praise, with another user admiring the adorable designs of Morgan and her interactions with the villagers.
Teenage Astronauts, the game’s developer, has confirmed the release date for Little Rocket Lab on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 to be December 10. While the reason for the delayed launch on these platforms compared to Xbox and PC remains unclear, the additional time taken is expected to ensure a bug-free and optimized performance for the game.
Players interested in acquiring Little Rocket Lab for their Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 can already pre-order it for £15.99 on the Nintendo Online Store.
