Game Freak's debris-manipulating platformer Giga Wrecker is heading to consoles

Pokémon developer Game Freak's 2D puzzle platformer Giga Wrecker Alt. is heading to Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 "later this year", publisher Rising Star Games has announced.

Giga Wrecker, which initially launched on PC in 2017, follows the adventures of Reika, an ARCHE-imbued girl (short for ARms Creating and Handling Effect, if you were wondering) with the power to turn debris into weapons and tools.
