LEGO Voyagers gets surprise native Switch 2 release day-and-date

LEGO Voyagers is the next game from Light Brick Studio – the team behind the visually stunning LEGO Builder’s Journey. First announced back during Summer Game Fest, this much-expanded co-op successor was confirmed to be launching in mid-September. Previously listed as coming to PS4; PS5; Xbox Series X|S; PC and the original Switch, LEGO Voyagers is now getting a surprise Switch 2 release.

Ahead of the game’s launch on the 15th of September, the official page for LEGO Voyagers on the Nintendo eShop has been listed as coming to both the original Switch as well as Switch 2 – the first confirmation that the co-op puzzler will offer a native ‘next-gen’ version.

Whether LEGO Voyagers was always planned to come to Nintendo's latest system or not, it is currently unknown. That said, there have been many reports claiming that devs have struggled to get their hands on the console's development kits.

It’s entirely possible that between SGF and now, the team at Light Brick Studios have managed to obtain said dev kits – allowing for a native Switch 2 release. Regardless of the reason, a proper Switch 2 release for LEGO Voyagers is welcome to see – especially as a day-and-date launch alongside all other platforms.
