The game was developed by Bithell Games, the same developer behind Thomas Was Alone, Volume, Subsurface Circular, and Quarantine Circular. These are some of the most notable visual novel-style games in recent memory, and it looks like TRON: Identity will be no exception. Officially licensed by Disney, this game will also be an integral part of the larger franchise, expanding the established universe for fans who want more in any form. Since the game can run on the Nintendo Switch, it also doesn’t require an incredibly powerful PC, so just about anyone who wants to should be able to run it.
