Borderlands is making its entrance to the Switch on May 29th with this massive collection

Borderlands Legendary Collection Comes to Switch May 29th

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/destructive-creations/">Destructive Creations</a>' twin stick murder simulator, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/hatred/">Hatred</a>, is a controversial game in itself, but its <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/upcoming">upcoming Switch</a> release is also stirring things up.</p>

<p>This move to the Switch was announced on their <a href="https://twitter.com/DestCreat_Team/status/1248932616973189120">official twitter account</a> last April 11.</p>

<img src="https://cdn2.whatoplay.com/news/content/Hatred.JPG" alt="Tweet from developer reveals Hatred Switch release"></img>

<p>Hatred is a shoot 'em up first released on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/hatred/">PC</a> in 2015 with a trailer inviting players into a "genocide crusade," playing the villain which kills civilians and law enforcement in violent ways. </p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ytdEYapPXdY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>It was removed from the Steam Greenlight service for a while before it was reinstated <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2014/12/16/7406713/hatred-returns-to-steam-greenlight-valve">with a personal apology from Valve co-founder Gabe Newell</a>.</p>

<p>Hatred is awarded with an Adults Only (AO) rating. With Nintendo's history with AO-rated videogames like Manhunt 2, it remains to be seen whether the devs or the console manufacturer will make adjustments to accommodate it.</p>

<p>Right now, its score on the PC isn't too impressive. But, while its criticscore is an abysmal 4.86, it did better with gamers where it scored a 7.73. So while it might be a controversial game to get on the console, its gory violence may be an acquired taste.</p>

<p>Hatred for the Switch currently has no firm release date. In the meantime, you can find more by visiting our <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/upcoming">Upcoming Switch Games</a> list.</p>

Destructive Creation recently confirms that their "genocide crusade" is headed for the Switch soon.
