The Relic: First Guardian arrives on Switch 2 October 9, after its Xbox debut on September 25

Project Cloud Games' action RPG has just launched on Xbox Series X|S: Nintendo Switch 2 follows in two weeks, with the price cut to $34.99 across all platforms.

On September 25 the Korean action RPG The Relic: First Guardian landed on Xbox Series X|S too, two months after its debut on PC and PlayStation 5. The third stop is now close: Nintendo Switch 2, set for October 9.

Developed by Project Cloud Games and published by Perp Games, the title draws heavily on Korean folklore: more than 70 bosses, each built as a standalone folk tale rather than a simple obstacle to knock down. The dark fantasy setting and Soulslike combat put it in the same neighborhood as Lies of P, though with a visual identity of its own.

Perp Games paired the Xbox launch with a revised price: $34.99 on every platform, a permanent cut from the July launch price. Not a timed sale, then, but a real repositioning - a sign the publisher is chasing a wider audience over the long run rather than squeezing early buyers.

A new eight-minute deep-dive video also arrived in the past few days, covering exploration, combat, story and a taste of the bosses - material aimed more at people still deciding whether to buy it than at those already playing on PC or PS5.

Switch 2 owners will have to wait another two weeks. In the meantime, we at apocanow already have guides and walkthroughs ready for when it's your turn too.
