Panic Button Games is generally very good at what it does. It’s not quite making its own games (though what the studio does is quite the feat). No, instead Panic Button is building quite the reputation for taking other games and carefully distilling them into functional ports on the Nintendo Switch console. The team has worked on the Doom remake titles in the past and even just finished porting Apex Legends. What’s next? It’s hard to say, but the team definitely has some dream projects and Valheim sits prominently on that list.
Panic Button recently had an Apex Legends port post-mortem chat with Nintendo Life. Having helped Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts on the Nintendo Switch launch of Apex Legends, Panic Button Head of Production Dan Hernberg and Technical Director Andy Boggs and Apex Legends Game Director Respawn Chad Grenier has some thoughts about what the prolific Nintendo Switch porter should tackle next. For Hernberg’s part, Valheim was the easy answer.
