<p>In April last year, a listing for <strong>Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch Enhanced Edition</strong> on Nintendo Switch was discovered. At the time, Funbox had already released the turn-based strategy title on multiple other platforms.</p>
<p>If you happen to be a fan of 40K and were looking forward to playing this one on the go, unfortunately, it has been axed. JP’s Switchmania <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/FunboxMediaLtd/status/1123934984795054081">broke the news</a> after receiving an email the game had been cancelled.</p>
<p>Not long after this, the UK publisher Funbox Media confirmed it:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Yes, we’re afraid so. It’s out of our control I’m afraid. We really wanted to release the game, but higher powers made the decision.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We’ve contacted Funbox ourselves, so keep an eye out for a more official statement soon.</p>
