STONE, the Aussie Hip-Hop Stoner Film-Noir Game, is Coming to Switch

Convict Studios have just announced that their Aussie Hip-Hop Stoner Film-Noir Game STONE is coming to Nintendo Switch.

‘When?’ you might ask. Well, May 8th (or M8 Day), of course!

Here’s what the team had to say:

The blokes and sheilas at Convict Games, a collection of ex a Remedy dev, musicians and filmmakers have fast-tracked their release of their award nominated and acclaimed debut interactive story STONE for release on May 8 on Nintendo Switch for $14,99 USD / 14,99 € / £12,49 / $19,95 AUD.

In this age of staying strong and staying at home, the Convicts wanted to share a new game for Nintendo Switch players to enjoy. Since the lockdown, Convict has focussed on getting STONE on Switch. Originally planned for an Autumn release, Convict Games decided to release STONE on May 8. Unofficially known as “M8 Day”, an Aussie day of companionship and good will for all.

Last but not least, STONE supports English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese subtitles on launch. Enjoy it, mates.

And here’s a little description write-up and trailer from the Microsoft website when STONE launched on Xbox One:

G’day, I’m Stone. Here’s our Xbox page. Play this single-player third-person movie length interactive story and see what happened. Yeah it was rough, but a good life lesson. Enjoy, and remember don’t do this at home ya bunch of crazy animals. By the way this story really isn’t going to be for everyone. So enter at your own risk, mate. Plus this was created by a global team including the narrative designer of QUANTUM BREAK, CONTROL and VFX artist from GRAVITY, PROMETHEUS & more. You’re in good hands, mate.
