<p><em>The Trail </em>began life as a free iOS adventure game with in-app purchases all the way back on August 30, 2016. <em>The Trail: Frontier Challenge</em>, which stealth launched on Nintendo Switch, is a port of the 2017 <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/584370/The_Trail_Frontier_Challenge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PC title</a> of the same name. The <em>Frontier Challenge</em> subtitle denotes additional content including challenges and upgrade trees for character skills.</p>
<p><em>The Trail: Frontier Challenge</em> is an exploratory adventure governed by simulation. Players embark on a journey across the American wilderness. After picking a character, players don a backpack and set on their way, collecting items for trading and crafting. As you become richer, you&#8217;ll be tasked to work with others to build thriving communities and reach the ultimate goal of becoming the leader of the most successful town of the American frontier.</p>
<p>Peter Molyneux, Creative Director at 22Cans, seemed excited about the impending Switch port. &#8220;<em>The Nintendo Switch is a fantastic platform and one that is perfectly suited for The Trail: Frontier Challenge. Whether players are relaxing at home, or off on their own travels, there’s a completely immersive and beautiful experience to pick up and play</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Additionally, Emily Greer, co-founder, and CEO of Kongregate, the title&#8217;s publisher had positive words on the porting process for Switch owners. &#8220;<em>Developing for the Switch has been a new and exciting process for our team. The Trail is a perfect debut Switch title for us; it&#8217;s family-friendly and easy to put down and pick back up again. We think Switch players will really enjoy being able to take their cinematic adventure with them anywhere they go</em>&#8220;.</p>
