An award-winning adventure reaches new shores
LONDON (June 27, 2024) – Today, developer Awaceb and publisher Kepler Interactive released the beloved and award-winning Tchia on Nintendo Switch™.
Winning the ‘Games for Impact’ category at The Game Awards 2023, the ‘Game Beyond Entertainment’ award at the 20th BAFTA Games Awards, ‘Best Audio for an Indie Game’ at the 22nd Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) Awards, and dozens more accolades from prestigious international organizations, Tchia has won the hearts of fans around the world since first releasing on PlayStation and PC in February, 2023.
In Tchia, with the titular character’s inherent Soul-Jumping powers at her disposal, players can take control of almost any object or animal they can find to give them the edge in combat and traversal. From taking flight as a bird to reach mountain peaks, plunging to the ocean depths as a dolphin, to setting mindless minions alight as a lantern, players will turn the environment into the ultimate tool in a sun-soaked sandbox that invites players to climb, glide, swim and sail around a beautiful open world.
Tchia is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC (via the Epic Games Store and Steam), and Nintendo Switch. Fans can also purchase a physical editionof Tchia on Nintendo Switch with select retailers, available now in partnership with Maximum Entertainment.
