Chainsawesome Games, the developer behind Knight Squad, is busy working on an asymmetrical shooter-brawler by the name of Aftercharge. It isn’t quite ready for release just yet, but the developer has announced that in addition to releasing for Xbox One and PC it will be coming to Nintendo Switch. Even better, it will feature three-way cross-play between each platform.

A press release stated that “players from all around the world can charge into action and compete against each other in online teams of invisible robots vs. invincible security guards from their platform of choice.”

“Having Aftercharge support cross-play with the three platforms at launch has always been super important for us, so we can’t wait to see the three gaming worlds collide this summer,” said Laurent Mercure, Communications Officer at Chainsawesome Games. “Aftercharge on the Switch not only makes the game playable on-the-go, but also opens the door to building a more unified gaming community without platform-based borders. And for those gamers who want to get an early look at the game, we’ll be showcasing a playable PC build at PAX East 2018, as well as holding a special Alpha playtest in April. So, stay tuned for more details!”

Aftercharge is set to release this summer. You can view its official gameplay trailer below.

Aftercharge Key Features:

Unique Blend of Fresh Mechanics: An invisible team fighting an invincible team, reviving allies instantly with no limit and zero cooldown on abilities are only a few mechanics that make Aftercharge a shooter you’ve never played before.
Bite-Size Competitive Matches: The teams are small, the maps are small, the rounds are short, the action is always within sight and it never stops.
Asymmetrical Characters: Choose from a different character pool on each side with widely different abilities and roles to vary your team’s strategy.
Online Multiplayer and Matchmaking: Team up with players anywhere around the world and face-off against opponents of similar skill level thanks to Windows PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch cross-platform play.
