Strange Brigade is now available on the Switch with an announcement trailer at Nintendo Direct E3 2021. The 2018 third-person co-op adventure marks the newest game to make the jump from the more powerful PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms to the little hybrid console. Take a look at the Strange Brigade Nintendo Switch launch trailer below.

Nintendo Direct E3 2021 was a presentation packed with new games coming to the Switch soon. In the case of Strange Brigade, it's available for the Switch right now. Nintendo likes to have at least one or two games that are ready to be downloaded from the eShop the moment fans see them in a Direct and Strange Brigade was able to fill that slot.

From the acclaimed developer of the Sniper Elite series, Rebellion, Strange Brigade is a 1930's cooperative third-person action game set in Egypt that can be played solo or with up to four people. Players must brave Egyptian ruins with treacherous traps and perilous puzzles in order to defeat Seteki and her hordes of supernatural minions. Shacknews had a chance to review the game when it was released in 2018, take a look if you're interested in our thoughts on the game.

Strange Brigade is available for PC, PS4, Google Stadia, and as of today, Nintendo Switch. We have all the biggest news from the Nintendo Direct at E3 2021, so stay right here on Shacknews. If you missed any of the announcements from E3 2021, our guide on everything will get you all caught up.
