Get ready to do some diffusing as Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes comes to Switch this summer

The teamwork-based bomb diffusal game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes will be coming to Switch sometime this summer, as evidenced by the game's official Twitter account.


The premise of the game is fairly straightforward: disarm a bomb before it explodes. The execution, however, is where things get difficult.

The game is meant for at least two players. One controls the bomb, clipping wires, entering symbols, examining the bomb case, etc.

The other player does not look at the bomb, but a manual (provided with the game as a printable file) which decodes the various modules on the bomb case. For example, the instructions might say "cut the blue wire – but only if there are two batteries on the case."

Good communication (and sometimes, familiarity with the manual) is the key to survival, especially as the difficulty increases.

Switch is an excellent platform for this, as the portability makes it easier to play with multiple people without having to hide a computer or television screen.

There's no more details on the release at the moment, but we'll update as we hear more specifics.
