Torpor Games dropped a serious strategy surprise on players in 2020 with Suzerain. It places you in the seat of power in Sordland, a fictional nation in the 1950s as other, larger world powers and their changing governments shape the world's fate. After a successful launch on PC, it came to the Nintendo Switch in 2021, and it's that console that benefits from this latest update. Here are all the new features:
New Scenes, New Dialogues, New Paths – Discover fresh conversations, impactful choices, and meaningful consequences that shape your nation’s destiny in Suzerain. This comprehensive overhaul expands the game with refined storytelling, a more immersive narrative, and an interactive world map, while also adding 12 new scenes, 9 new decisions, expanded character arcs, and over 300 new news articles and city reports.
Performance & Visual Enhancements – Enjoy smoother gameplay through improved performance optimization, along with upgraded visuals, enhanced audio, and an overall richer presentation that makes every moment in Suzerain more engaging and memorable.

“We’re beyond excited to bring Suzerain’s fully updated experience to both longtime fans and newcomers on the Nintendo Switch with all the new free content; it’s been a long time coming. We’re especially thrilled that Switch players will finally get to dive into the Kingdom of Rizia story, and even more so that they can now shape their nation’s destiny anytime, anywhere on a handheld platform,” said Ata Sergey Nowak, Managing Director of Torpor Games.
