Wargroove developer Chucklefish has partnered with Sold Out to release a deluxe physical edition of the game this autumn. It'll be releasing on Switch and PS4.
We don't have an exact release date for the physical release just yet, but we do know that the Switch edition will cost £29.99 / $39.99 / €39.99, which is sadly £10 / $10 more than the PS4 version. Those pesky Switch carts, huh?
It'll come with a set of exclusive stickers, a reversible coversheet, a map poster, strategy manual, and downloadable soundtrack.
We can't recommend Wargroove enough, whether you're wanting to splash out on the physical edition or just go ahead and buy it digitally. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review:
"As far as strategy games are concerned on the Switch, Wargroove is one of the best titles you can find on the eShop. Extremely deep and diverse strategy gameplay, ridiculous amounts of replayability, and charming presentation all combine to make this one an easy recommendation to anybody looking for a deep and cerebral experience for their Switch."
Have you been holding out for a physical release of Wargroove? Will you be picking this up when it launches later in the year? Tell us below.

Is it retail or a limited print?
Whilst I've never been much for tactical games like Advance Wars and it's ilk, I'm happy to see this getting the physical release treatment, it's definitely deserved it.
Looks to be a retail release rather than a limited print, but not certain.
@Aneira Sold Out will be the distributors on behalf of Chucklefish - they're also distributors for physical releases from Team17, Rebellion and Double Eleven - so I'd imagine this one will be coming to retail.
But looking at it, it doesn't say it comes with a cartridge...
I've been holding out for this! Awesome
and it does come with a cart Mr @Bunkerneath!
@Bunkerneath
I sincerely hope that's because it should be expected that it will contain a physical cart instead of their not being one with a digital download code inside. ^^;
However, it does suck that because of such practices we now question if a physical release is actually physical.
I figured it would happen eventually.
I'm glad I waited.
I played this to death on the pc. I will gladly buy this again in physical form for the Switch! Some couch pvp/coop would be amazing.
@Bunkerneath It has that deluxe edition banner in place rather than a code-in-the-box banner on the box art. I wouldn't worry, it'll be on a cartridge.
Great game! If you like the genre, you won´t be disappointed.
$10 more is ridiculous. I’ll just get it on PS4, I guess.
I am one of those people who haven’t picked up Wargrove yet. Perfect opportunity to pick up the physical version.
Well WELL worth it. The Game is awesome and I have sunk hours upon hours into it. I hope they do a sequel and that will be day one purchase for me.
Would have bought it if it hadn't already come out digitally I suppose. Bummer!
The digital soundtrack is enough for me to double dip. I'll wait and see.
Definitely picking this up. Love this game!
Think I'll go for Fire Emblem first but it does look really cool.
@Ultimategamer132 Yeah and you are essentially paying double just to get some stickers and a download code.
@JayJ At least bad looking/performing ports like RIME were made by those with enough sense to back up the higher price with something of substance like a soundtrack for the game.
Don't have the game yet... Probably going to get this!
@Bunkerneath Chucklefish tweeted that it will come with a cartridge.
This looks cool, but I don't see myself buying it since I have it digitally. I could probably use the strategy manual though!
Was holding out on this, and a few other big Indies, for this very reason. Glad to see them starting to get physical releases.
Sweeeet! One of the very fee games i bought digitally couse 1) i could not wait for a physical release 2) i wanted to support the devs for making this awesome game +was hoping my support would add to the chance of a physical release later. Sooooo will buy again physically! Thanks!
