Indie game studios Batterystaple Games and Fire Hose Games announced today that 20XX is coming to PlayStation 4 and Switch on July 10, with an Xbox One version following on July 11.
20XX is a roguelike, a kind of game where death resets your progress and levels generate randomly, inspired by the Mega Man side-scrollers. It came out for PC via Steam in August after an Early Access period. It has sold over 100,000 copies on Valve’s digital store.

This is especially true on Switch, since indies have been finding great success on Nintendo’s home console/portable hybrid. Indies like Stardew Valley and Shovel Knight have comfortable and profitable homes on the platform.
Mega Man has been the inspiration behind many indies, including Mighty No. 9 and Azure Striker Gunvolt. 20XX is able to stand out thanks to its roguelike implementations.
