Sunsoft has announced that the digital version of Clock Tower: Rewind for the Nintendo Switch will release on 31st October 2024. Now, what's significant about that date..? Oh yeah! It's Halloween!

An apt release date for such a spooky game then, wouldn't you agree? It's been a long time coming, too. We've known about the upcoming Switch release now for over a year, so for its eventual launch to be a little over two months away at this point is a lovely surprise indeed.

The game is an enhanced port of the Japan-only SNES title Clock Tower, which released all the way back in 1995. The new version will cost 3,300 yen in Japan, which roughly converts to around £17-18 in the UK and about $22 in the US.
