The scuttlebutt around the Switch port started yesterday afternoon, when showed up in a photographed list of Switch game logos that were purportedly being printed for display at Nintendo’s E3 booth. That list also included other unannounced Switch titles such as , , , , and .

Kotaku also notes that the Twitter account for competitive indie arcade game recentlychanged its avatar and header art to pure black, lending credence to the branding in the leaked shot.

Eurogamer says it “independently heard the list is legitimate” as well and says that we should “expect an announcement soon” for ‘s port in particular.

has been growing steadily in popularity since the introduction of its battle royale mode last September, but it has become a bona fide social gaming phenomenon following its iOS launch in March.
