Deadly Premonition has become something of a cult classic in the years since its launch on console and PC back in 2010. It was revealed a while back that Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise would be coming to Nintendo Switch, but no one was exactly sure when. That has now changed as Rising Star Games has revealed that the title will exclusively land on Switch on July 10!
