Swery said he had 'no say' in Deadly Premonition 2 being a Switch-exclusive, he was just happy to make a sequel

A choice left to the higher-ups

Swery is the creator behind the Deadly Premonition series, which just saw Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise release on Switch exclusively. Wondering what made Swery bring the game to Switch? In an interview with NintendoEverything, we find out that the decision actually had nothing to do with Swery!

This may seem different from how you imagine it, but the director of a game has no say in what platforms a game is released on. That is decided upon by the producer and more ‘important’ (LOL) people. All I can say is that: “Platform doesn’t matter to me – all I care about is whether or not I have a chance to make a game. This time, I got the chance to make DP2 on the Switch. How could I say no to that?!”
