"Alien Sword 2" may usher in a Switch 2 patch because a game screen shared by developer Monolith Soft recently sparked speculation.
Today, the developer shared a job ad on X, showing the lighting of the game cutscenes is different from the original Switch, suggesting that the footage may be taken from the Switch 2 updated version that has not yet been officially announced.Of course, it is not ruled out that it is just a special modification for the advertisement, so it is not advisable to have too much expectations at the moment.
If there is any game in this series that can benefit from the stronger hardware specifications of the Switch 2 than the previous game, it is definitely "Alien Sword 2".To this day, it remains one of the most ambitious games in Switch history.
However, the game's high-spec graphics, exquisite character modeling, post-processing, and the volumetric effects of the sea of clouds all lead to a significant reduction in resolution, and the Switch 2 is expected to alleviate this problem.These advanced visual effects also have a considerable impact on gaming performance, but at least, the Switch 2's backward compatibility feature can stabilize frame rates in host and handheld modes, giving a slightly improved experience even without special patches.
