The Magnificent Trufflepigs Launches on Nintendo Switch August 26
Take your metal-detecting adventure wherever you wish with the release on Nintendo Switch!
New York, U.S.A August 19, 2021 – #amcgames is happy to share two more ways to play The Magnificent Trufflepigs with the upcoming launch on Nintendo #switch and the Epic Games Store set for August 26!
Crafted by Everybody's Gone to the Rapture lead designer Andrew Crawshaw and scored by Kevin Penkin (Florence, Necrobarista), The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a romantic metal-detecting narrative adventure where players will find plenty to unearth. Released on Steam this summer, The Magnificent Trufflepigs has received love for its bite-sized narrative and idyllic countryside setting.

Starring Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who, DC's Legends of Tomorrow), players take the role of Adam returning to his childhood village to help a woman named Beth on her journey to find a local treasure.
Crafted by the new Leeds, U.K.-based studio Thunkd, The Magnificent Trufflepigs lets players fulfill a lifelong (or newly founded) dream to metal detect while experiencing a tightly-paced dramatic narrative
"Thunkd's goal is to create games that tell compelling, human-shaped stories while fitting into busy life styles.'' said Thunkd's director Andrew Crawshaw. "The Nintendo #switch is the perfect device for that kind of play, and we're excited to finally bring The Magnificent Trufflepigs to its players."

The Magnificent Trufflepigs is the second title from #amcgames, the video game publishing division of AMC Networks. Their first game was 2020's IGF-nominated flight passenger simulator Airplane Mode, which meticulously recreates the experience of real-time commercial flight, presenting players with randomized events to create an endlessly re-playable experience for flight enthusiasts and content creators alike.
