With Pillars of Eternity II and more RPGs coming to the latest console from the Big N, it’s a phenomenal time to be a fan of this genre as a Nintendo Switch owner. The CRPG classic Wasteland 2 only strengthens those ranks as inXile Entertainment announces the pumped up version of the game’s arrival in August. But what does the Director’s Cut entail, exactly? Glad you asked! The version that will be coming over to the Nintendo Switch, which is already available on other major platforms, will come with new Perks and Quirks, tons of new voicelines, new content, and the inclusion of epic precision strikes. Pretty much they made an already badass game even better and as a fan, I have to say: I’m pretty freaking stoked. Haven’t had a chance to check out the Director’s Cut yet?
