Even if you've not been with us too long you may recall us chatting about Runbow not too long ago. While it's been in the process of coming to Nintendo Switch, we've now got a proper release date - July 3rd.

I say 'proper' because we actually got a release date back in March where Runbow was headed out on April 24th. It feels impossible that it's been a couple of months since then, and hopefully this one'll stick for good.

If you've not heard of it, Runbow is a colourful creation from 13AM Games. In it you race against your friends, watching out not only for their attacks and attempts to trip you up, but also the ever-changing environment around you. Again, fans of SpeedRunners will have a great time with it.

The clue's in the name with one of the major obstacles, though. The background continually changes colour and, while some platforms remain solid black, colourful platforms may be rendered invisible by the sudden change. So, mind your step when you're running and jumping.

If you fancy a physical version of the game you'll have to wait a little longer for it to come out, but you'll also get two sets of stickers and all DLCs.
