Popular Skyrim mod The Forgotten City launches standalone on Nintendo Switch today

The Forgotten City, an award-winning ancient civilisation murder mystery which started life as a Skyrim mod, will today launch for Nintendo Switch as a cloud game.

Set in a cursed Roman city stuck in a timeloop, this puzzle-solving investigative adventure has gained a huge amount of popularity and a Writers’ Guild award for its script.

Originally a mod for Skyrim, it launched separately for PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X back in July with numerous upgrades.

Streaming service Ubitus is again powering The Forgotten City – the same company whose cloud tech is behind the Switch version of Control, and the Japanese launches of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Resident Evil 7.
