Unfortunately, once more, the team has announced that they don't have any plans for the Robocop Rogue City Switch port at the moment. The developer Teyon gave a recent statement on the official RoboCop Facebook page:
“At this moment we don’t have any plans for a Nintendo Switch release.”
The reason for this cancellation was not disclosed. However, some figure that it's most probably due to technical difficulties in porting the game to the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch is a six year old console by now, and being able to run current-gen games seems to be asking too much.
