Developer Gears for Breakfast’s delightfully old-school 3D platformer A Hat in Time is heading to Switch, and there’s new DLC coming to PC next month too.
In terms of the Switch release, there’s admittedly not a lot to share right now: according to Gears for Breakfast’s news-packed Gamescom announcement video, A Hat in Time is definitely on its way to Nintendo Switch and is simply “coming soon”.
Moving onto more substantially divulged matters, however, A Hat in Time’s new DLC, which was a stretch goal during the game’s 2013 Kickstarter campaign, is called Seal the Deal, and offers a brand-new chapter’s worth of exploratory platform action – this time aboard a luxurious cruise liner bound for the Arctic and staffed (inevitably) by seals.

That’s not all for Seal the Deal though; it also includes a new Death Wish mode – which looks to offer remixed, and much tougher, challenges from the base game – and six new time rifts, essentially A Hat in Time’s version of bonus stages. By playing through Death Wish mode and the new time rifts, you’ll be able to unlock new character customisation options in the form of new flairs, dyes, outfits, badges, and camera filters.
