Triangle Strategy Back on Nintendo Switch eShop
Square Enix has officially reinstated the digital version of its acclaimed strategy title, Triangle Strategy, on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Originally launched in March 2022, the game faced a temporary withdrawal in December 2024, leaving fans eager for its return. As we step into 2025, players can now once again purchase the game digitally, as confirmed through Square Enix’s announcements on their official channels.
Background on Availability
The digital version of Triangle Strategy was initially removed without any specific reason given. However, those who had purchased it prior to the withdrawal were still able to redownload their copies. During this period, physical copies remained consistently available at retail outlets, allowing fans an alternative to the digital version.
Publisher Transition
Interestingly, after its return, Square Enix is now credited as the publisher for the game on the eShop. Previously, Nintendo had assumed that role during the game’s initial release. This shift may indicate a new chapter for the game’s marketing and distribution strategy moving forward.
Timing of the Removal
The timing of the game’s absence coincided with the launch of the Triangle Strategy version for Meta Quest VR, which debuted in October 2024. Alongside the VR adaptation, a version for Windows PC had been released in October 2022, shortly after the Nintendo Switch launch, broadening the game’s accessibility across platforms.
Current Pricing and Offers
Despite being nearly two years old, the pricing for Triangle Strategy remains unchanged at $59.99 for both the Nintendo Switch eShop and Steam. This pricing strategy contrasts with the Meta Quest version, which is available for a more affordable $29.99, reflecting the trends often observed in digital marketplaces.
Availability Across Platforms
As of now, Triangle Strategy can be purchased in both physical and digital formats on the Nintendo Switch, in addition to its availability on PC and for Meta Quest VR headsets. This multi-platform release ensures that a wider audience can experience the strategic depth and engaging narrative that the game offers.
