Xenocider is coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop in 2022. The game originally started out as a Kickstarter funded project for the Sega Dreamcast which didn't make its target, but it has since been funded and has had a very successful launch on the Sega Dreamcast.

Now the cult classic will be coming to the Nintendo Switch next year, thanks to publisher Eastasiasoft and the developer 2Dream Corporation.

Check below for the details...

Blast through corrupted worlds in this HD remaster of a cult classic!

Take the role of Xara, a cyborg from a remote planet transformed into the ultimate weapon of mass destruction thanks to her superhuman strength, speed and combat prowess in the most extreme environments. Blast through wild, corrupted worlds to eradicate all life and take down menacing bosses to reduce entire civilizations to ash.

Xenocider is a third-person rail shooter inspired by arcade classics and presented in nostalgic 32-bit style! Hover into battle, jump, dodge and take aim at swarms of enemies as they try to put an end to Xara’s extermination mission. Customize abilities between stages by equipping different “Xenopods” to float at Xara’s side and enhance her firepower!
