Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will be coming to consoles this fall, but Switch owners have the opportunity to receive the game for free. Saber Interactive, developer of both Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn and NBA Playgrounds, is gifting the game to Switch owners who have purchased NBA Playgrounds as an apology for not implementing online play for the game in a timely fashion. Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karsh made the following statement:
“We had every intention of launching online play for NBA Playgrounds on Nintendo Switch within days of release, but, despite our best efforts, it didn’t play out that way. We sincerely apologize for the delay and want to let everyone know the fix will be coming very soon. But words are cheap, and games are not. So we’re giving everyone that bought NBA Playgrounds on Nintendo Switch before the online play patch hits a free copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn on Switch this fall to express our gratitude.”
Saber Interactive hasn’t given a definitive release date for the patch on Switch.
