Since its initial release on the PS2™, Legend of Kay has been well received by both critics and consumers alike and was subsequently ported to the Nintendo DS™. 10 years later, the game has been remastered and ported to PC/Mac/Linux, PS3™, Xbox 360 and PS4™ and Wii U™ under the name Legend of Kay Anniversary.
As Legend of Kay’s timeless style and genre haven’t lost their appeal – and THQ Nordic wants to continue its strategy of making the game available to players of all kinds of platforms – it will be coming to Nintendo’s latest console, Nintendo Switch in 2018.

Lol why do they keep releasing this game? Is it any good ?
It’s OK, but not great.
THQ Nordic picked up a ton of old licenses, including what they got from buying out the remnants of THQ. They’ve been doing a pretty good job cleaning up the games and rereleasing them on modern consoles to recoup what they spent. Personally, I’m pumped for Titan Quest to come out on the Switch.
As long as the money from this game and others they are remastering helps them release the 3rd Darksiders, I’m okay with re-releases as they don’t cost too much money to make and only net them extra spending money on bigger projects.
Well what’s nice is these guys have basically saved a bunch of licenses that would otherwise never see the light of day again. With Titan Quest for example, they’ve rebalanced classes and released a whole new act to a game that hadn’t been updated in ten years, and that’s my favorite Diablo clone ever.
They could have brought Darksiders 1 instead and I would be happy.
