Last year, publisher BBG Entertainment had announced that a Switch port of Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary was in the works. We may have had some radio silence since then – but now we have the final details on its release!

The Switch eShop has updated with a new listing for the game – along with a release date of 27 February 2020 and price tag of $14,99 USD. The game sees players return to the classic Boulder Dash universe, now with 260+ new worlds and many secrets to unlock!

Check out some promotional images below, along with a brief synopsis:

Gem Collectors, Dig This!  Boulder Dash®-30th Anniversary™ finds our heroes, Rockford™, Crystal™ and others, facing a slew of new, exciting challenges in this legendary action puzzler.  Dig through spectacular caves with 3D elements; avoid falling boulders; collect valuable gems and avoid nefarious enemies along the way.  Discover treasure chests with rare collectibles and potent power-ups.  With 260 exciting levels, 13 new, gorgeous worlds, and 10 playable characters, Boulder Dash-30th Anniversary is the best game in its 30 year history.

The original Boulder Dash® was created by Peter Liepa with Chris Gray over 30 years ago and published by First Star Software in 1984.  Boulder Dash®-30th Anniversary is the first, and only, game in the multi-million unit selling Boulder Dash series to include both a premium world designed by Peter Liepa and another by Chris Gray.

While providing classic Boulder Dash core gameplay mechanics and features, Boulder Dash-30th Anniversary introduces exciting new elements such as diagonal movement, which opens up new and intriguing puzzles while creating a very different and organic look for the caves.
