Trover Saves The Universe - originally released on PS4 with VR in mind - is making the jump to Switch.

Squanch Games, the studio founded by Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, announced that they’re porting the game to both Switch and Xbox, with the Switch version arriving first on 28 November for $30. There’s a 20% launch discount available too. We’ll update with UK pricing once we have it.

The game itself, whilst not set in the same universe as Rick and Morty nevertheless features the same foul-mouthed oddball humour, so fans of the show should find plenty to like. Here’s the breakdown from Squanch Games:

“Your dogs have been dognapped by a beaked lunatic named Glorkon who stuffed them into his eye holes and is using their life essence to destroy the universe. You’re partnered with Trover, a little purple eye-hole monster who isn’t a huge fan of working or being put in the position of having to save the universe. He’s also not that big a fan of you quite frankly, and neither am I. (Jk, you’re great.)
Only you and Trover can save everything in this bizarre comedy adventure, created by Justin Roiland!
Key Features
A comedy adventure filled with combat, platforming, puzzles, and morally questionable choices. See how the best intentions can go horribly awry.
You control Trover’s movements, but not his mouth. He’s got a lot to say about what’s going on in the game.
Travel the cosmos to experience a variety of weird alien planets and bizarre characters with big personalities.
Upgrade Trover AND YOURSELF with new abilities to (hopefully) defeat Glorkon while evading awkward situations.”

The Switch version will include the previously released DLC as standard, and you can check out the announcement trailer below.
