Hopefully Tantalus have it running up to scratch!

Good for those who waited for the Switch version. Sadly, my excitement for this game is now defunct after I watched a friend play it briefly.
It is later than we originally planned. That said, we wanted to make sure we made the experience the same across all platforms.
Exactly the same for me.
Can you tell us what resolution the game's running, docked and undocked?
Thanks for that. Will buy.

November? Later than I thought, but still interested. Guess I might be making this a play-over-the-winter-break game.

Thanks for the extra work. I've been following RiME since it was first announced and it's been hard holding off the PS4 version but I really want to play it on Switch! Hopefully it turns out to be a great port in both docked and portable mode.

Dang that's pretty far away! Still, I preordered the game when there was a price error for the Switch version!
Thats good to hear - Reviews were great, so as long the Switch version performs good at the end the release date doesnt really matter.
Looking forward to it.

In for the physical version with the OST and Prime discount.
At this time, I cannot. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't know. I will see if I can find out.

When can we expect a short teaser of the game running on switch to get an idea of performances & visuals?
I've been holding purchasing this on steam ever since it was announced for switch. Portability reigns supreme in what little time i have to play nowadays.

Bad timing. May wait for a 2018 price drop. Unless I can get it super cheap on steam before that happens.
Thanks for doing that.

Yeah, that shit needs to stop across the board.
Will there be a Collectors Edition?

I won't be interested in playing Rime while it's prime season for games and a new xbox is coming out. May just purchase it on ps4/xb1 now while i have time to play it. Surprised by the November date tbh

This has always been my problem with delayed Nintendo console releases. This game just recently went on sale on competing consoles. I got RiME for $19 on PS4. By the time these games release on Switch, they could be had for considerably less on other platforms with likely better graphic performance. This might be a testament on the difficulty of getting a PS4/Xbox One game running on Switch, I just wish that third parties could work for better release parity. I surely hate when Nintendo loses third-party support for lower sales due to stuff like this.
It's already sold out, was still available on Amazon.es a few days ago.
Edit: Still available on other stores (El Corte Ingles, FNAC).
We have not announced a CE for the Switch outside of the Spanish CE that was released earlier this year. If that changes, we'll let everyone know!

November is actually a bit of an open month for the Switch so who knows, maybe it'll still get some spotlight.
I'll see what I can do!
I'm losing it
Opened this thread thinking 'ooh, Rime finally coming out'. Then as I read the posts I started thinking...hang on, did I buy this already and forgot it was in my backlog?
I just checked and not only did I already buy it, I already played and completed it.
Its great btw, you should play it

The game was poorly optimized at launch even on PC, so I guess it shouldn't be that shocking that Tantalus had so much trouble getting performance to an acceptable level on Switch.

Rime is an amazing game. I bought it digitally off the PSN Store for my PS4 Pro.
I am worried how the performance will be on Switch. I hope they went with a stable 30fps frame-rate and lower resolution. Hopefully they were able to achieve 30fps/720 handheld and 30fps/? docked. Possibly 900p? I doubt it will hit 1080p.
That's what's puzzling with the Switch. We have Ubisoft saying the Snow Drop engine was super easy to get up and running on the Switch but other devs have said they're having problems with performance. Learning curve? Switch just not capable enough? Anyways, good luck on Rime for the Switch!

Mario Odyssey releases days before November. It's a terrible time to release the game.

I still think there's a pretty good chance of this, most likely Smash 4 DX if so. The lack of a November tentpole release for Switch is just incredibly weird, though stranger things have happened,
Well that's over two weeks before RiME and nothing else is announced for November, save for Ittle Dew 2+. I don't think it's necessarily that bad at the moment.
Of course, we don't have dates for Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Skyrim, Resident Evil Revelations 1+2, Rocket League, or Sonic Forces, not to mention a bunch of indie games (like Axiom Verge and Stardew Valley), so it could end up being crowded eventually.
Yeah, that's a bit late for me as well, considering Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn't supposed to be far off by then either.
