Indie game developer and publisher Bohemia Interactive announced this morning that they will release Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition for the portable console next month.

We have the full detailks from the devs here explaining what you can expect from this edition.
Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition
On their own fully customizable ship, players will traverse six distinct regions, each filled with unique fauna, flora, and random encounters that keep the adventure fresh and exciting. Ylands empowers players to make use of thousands of items to craft and build with, progressing through a comprehensive tech tree that adds depth and variety to the gameplay. The game gently onboards players by recruiting them to the Classy Adventurers Guild, where they embark on an incredible journey, armed with their trusty handbook, and sail towards endless adventures.
- Play Ylands Offline For The First Time: Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition will be able to be played fully offline only, which is a first for this series. After the download and initial launch, players don't need an active internet connection to play the game. All player game worlds, creations, and progress are stored locally, which ensures smooth, uninterrupted sailing wherever they choose to play.
- Buy Once, Play Forever: While Ylands on PC is a free-to-play title Bohemia Interactive has elected for a simpler pay upfront premium model for Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition. This, in combination with its offline nature, means there are no pay-to-progress mechanics, less of a need to grind in order to accumulate resources, and no monetization pushes. All planned updates for Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition will always be included for no additional cost with the option to purchase optional cosmetic DLC packages also supported.
- Optimised Controls and UI with Stable Framerate: Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition has been optimised to take full advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware, boasts a stable framerate and a user interface that has been designed with both TV and handheld play in mind.
- Safe Single Player For All Ages: Due to its offline structure, Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition is a 100% safe gaming environment for younger players with zero microtransaction prompts and no risk of negative interactions with other players. There is no gore or graphic violence in the game, which makes it a perfect experience for younger players.
- Adventure and Creative Modes: Ylands: Nintendo Switch Edition is an experience that supports and encourages creative development and thinking at every stage. There are virtually unlimited building opportunities available to the player; both in the more story-centric Adventure mode and the sandbox-orientated Creative mode. If players don't wish to create from the ground-up it will also be possible to purchase different types of buildings, ships and even pets via the Nintendo eShop.
