The Legendary Edition will be coming to a number of platforms, which includes last-gen and current-gen consoles, but what about the Nintendo Switch? The Switch has seen quite taxing games such as The Witcher 3, but will it be seeing the trilogy anytime soon? According to Bioware, it would be more likely to happen on a more powerful Switch model. Rumours have been flying that a newer model might be underway, but until then we’ll have to live with the hope it may happen in the future.
