NIS America offered an update on the RPG Maker WITH console game, noting the Switch version will show up on October 11, 2024 ahead of the PS4 and PS5 ones. The creation tool won’t show up on Sony’s consoles until 2025.
As a reminder, this installment again remains a means of creating games and playing others’ original titles. It supports English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, so people from every region can develop their own titles with the included assets. The “with” part of the name highlights how elements can be shared online. The idea is that someone wouldn’t be the only person developing a game. The online option would allow others to also contribute.
The latest RPG Maker WITH Switch, PS4, and PS5 trailer highlights some of that. It begins by showing how the online compatibility would allow different people to work on different tasks for a title. As it hits the one minute mark, map creation and a boss fight come up.
NIS America has been handling console and handheld entries in the series outside of Japan for a while now. It was behind the FES and MV 3DS, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One versions, for example.
RPG Maker WITH will come to the Nintendo Switch outside Japan on October 11, 2024, followed by a PS4 and PS5 release in 2025.
