Raji: An Ancient Epic’s ‘Enhanced Edition’ Update Out Next Week On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes

Last year, publisher Super.com announced that Raji: An Ancient Epic would be getting a free update which upgrades the full game to the ‘Enhanced Edition’. Now we know exactly when to expect these changes in the ancient India-set adventure game — 28th July!

Nintendo Everything shared the news from the publisher, confirming that this update will bring more than just animation fixes, balance changes, and general tweaks to the game. New game modes, more enemy variations, new music, and Hindi voiceovers are also being included. The patch was originally meant to drop last year, but fans will now be rewarded for their patience.

In our original review of the game back in 2020, we praised Raji as being ‘refreshing’, highlighting the Hindu mythology and representation, but we wanted more. And it looks like our prayers are being answered.

For the lowdown on everything coming to Raji: An Ancient Epic on 28th July, here are the patch notes in full from Steam and Nintendo Everything:
