Earlier this year, developer Darkscreen Games revealed Bounty Battle for Switch – a Smash-style brawler that incorporates loads of indie characters into its roster of fighters. The game was due to get a physical release in both the US and Europe, but now it looks like the developer has scaled back those plans…

When asked for clarification on the physical release of Bounty Battle in North America, Darkscreen Games revealed that they had cancelled it. According to them, this was due to the global coronavirus pandemic – which has halted or delayed many production lines worldwide.

yes , because of COVID 19
we are sorry.

The good news is that the European release of the game still seems to be on its way under Merge Games over here. We’ll report back if anything changes in the future.
