Nintendo Switch games NEWS: Battlezone release date REVEALED

Battlezone Gold Edition has been given a release date for November.

Rebellion’s multiplayer tank-based shooter has been given a November 8 release date for Nintendo’s console.

Better yet, fans can already pre-order the game from the Nintendo eShop, complete with a 15% discount.

Fans who pre-order the game ahead of launch can nab a copy of Battlezone for £25.49. That’s down from the regular asking price of £29.99.

A re-imagining of the 1980s arcade game, Battlezone Gold Edition launches with bonus features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

The news was announced alongside a flashy new gameplay trailer, which you can watch below.

Switch owners can take advantage of cockpit motion controls, as well as support for both online and wireless local co-op.

The Gold Edition also comes with all of the post-release content released so far.

This includes bobbleheads, tank skins, and the retro-infused Classic Mode.

“Battlezone Gold Edition transports you to the cockpit of the most advanced weapon ever built – the Cobra tank,” Rebellion explains.

“Experience thrilling first-person combat across neon-lit sci-fi landscapes. Fend off legions of mechanized bots, from laser-blasting tanks to destructive mine-laying trucks and nimble airborne hoppers.”

Players will be able to customise tanks, adding new weapins, skins and shields.

There’s also a rogue-lite campaign that changes each time you play.

“Tackle an explosive ‘rogue-lite’ campaign that never plays the same way twice, playable in singleplayer and in drop-in, drop-out co-op for up to 4 players,” Rebellion continues.

“Earn upgrades and preserve your lives as you defeat a wide variety of missions across the procedurally generated campaign map. Make your way to an epic final fight at the volcano, defeat the totalitarian Corporation and save humanity from the brink!”
