Hotel Barcelona coming to Switch 2, Switch

White Owls Inc. and Eden Industries said on May 19 that *Hotel Barcelona* is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, expanding the game’s platform lineup after its earlier release on PC and other consoles. The announcement was carried by Nintendo Everything and other game news outlets, and publisher materials say the Nintendo versions are still in development. No release date was announced for either Nintendo platform. The game is a 2.5D action-horror roguelite created by Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro and Goichi “Suda51” Suda, two Japanese developers known for offbeat, horror-leaning projects. In the Nintendo announcement, the companies described the Switch and Switch 2 editions as a “complete package” rather than a base-game-only port.

Nintendo Everything reported on May 19 that *Hotel Barcelona* will “make the jump” to Switch 2 and Switch, with launch timing to be shared later. The report cited Eden Industries and White Owls and said both Nintendo versions will include more than the original release. (nintendoeverything.com) GoNintendo and Gematsu separately reported that the Nintendo editions will include the base game, the major “Under New Management” update, the “Late Check-Out” downloadable content, and gameplay updates released to date. Those reports also said the Switch ports are in development rather than dated for immediate release. (nintendoeverything.com) ### What is included in the Switch and Switch 2 package? The May 19 materials say the Nintendo versions will ship with the full base game and the “Under New Management” overhaul, a major update released after launch. Coverage from Nintendo Everything and GoNintendo also says the package includes the “Late Check-Out” DLC and all gameplay improvements released so far. (gonintendo.com) Nintendo Everything said the Nintendo versions will support online co-op for one to three players, four-player invasion play and player-versus-player modes. GoNintendo described the same feature set as online multiplayer, co-op gameplay and PvP invasion mode. ### Why are people mentioning “Late Check-Out” and “Under New Management”? (nintendoeverything.com) Gematsu reported on May 19 that “Late Check-Out” launches on May 21 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. The outlet described the DLC as a continuation of the main game rather than a side story, while Nintendo Everything said it adds new environments, bosses, enemies and narrative content. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Life said the game’s March 2026 “Under New Management” update substantially reworked *Hotel Barcelona* after its 2025 launch. That report said the update refined gameplay systems, balance, progression and presentation, and cited publisher claims that recent Steam reviews had turned strongly positive. (gematsu.com) ### Who are Suda51 and Swery in this project? Nintendo Life identified Swery as the creator associated with *Deadly Premonition*, *D4* and *The Missing*, and Suda51 as the developer behind *Killer7* and *No More Heroes*. Their collaboration on *Hotel Barcelona* has been part of the game’s pitch since its reveal, with the project framed as a slasher-inspired action title with surreal horror elements. (nintendolife.com) Publisher materials summarized by multiple outlets say players control Justine, a federal marshal trapped in a hotel taken over by serial killers, with an entity called Dr. Carnival tied to the story. That setup has remained central to the game’s marketing across its post-launch updates and platform expansions. (nintendolife.com) ### What has not been announced yet?

Nintendo Everything said timing will be shared soon, while Gematsu said the ports are currently in development.
