Arc of Alchemist To Receive Physical Release on Nintendo Switch via Limited Run Games

Publisher Idea Factory International have once again teamed up with Limited Run Games to offer Nintendo Switch fans the chance of securing a physical copy of Arc of Alchemist, which was originally a digital release within Europe and North America, from the Limited Run Games store.

Pre-orders for this ‘not-so-limited but limited-print-run’ edition of Arc of Alchemist will begin on the 31st March 2020 and it will offer the same content as the previously released digital edition of the game; the exception being that it is on a physical cartridge and comes with some lovely artwork. Limited Run Games do ship worldwide; but the packing is tailored to the US market with an ESRB logo being printed on the box. A physical version for the PlayStation 4 is also being produced in North America, and this will be made available through the Idea Factory Online Store; while in Europe a physical version is already available through the UK distributor REEF Entertainment.
