Nintendo Switch Online Users Are Getting a Limited Trial Period of ‘Cult of the Lamb’

Nintendo Switch Online is a decent enough online service that allows Nintendo Switch owners to upload their game saves to the cloud. It also allows them access to a huge library of games from classic video game systems such as NES, SNES, GameBoy, GBA, and even N64. If this was not enough, Nintendo has even started giving fans access to a bunch of games.

These trials can include first-party Nintendo Switch games. Other times, a bunch of really good third-party titles This month too, Nintendo has announced fans can access a brand-new trial via their Nintendo Switch Online subscription. And this one is a very special little indie game.

Fans can now play a trial of Cult of the Lambs via a Nintendo Switch Online subscription!

There are numerous Indie games on the Nintendo Switch. From Hades to Stardew Valley, this console has become something of a hub for funky-looking, fast-paced games. And it’s not as if Nintendo Switch owners are in love with these games. One such game is an indie roguelike called Cult of the Lamb.

In this game, players basically play as a lamb that is tasked with starting a cult of its own. It is then asked to expand it and make sure its followers are safe at all times and such. It’s a very violent game but in a cartoony, fun way. But just as with any roguelike, there is some level of challenge to it too. Nintendo recently announced that the trial of this game can be accessed by Nintendo Switch online subscribers.

The tweet said, “NintendoSwitchOnline members! From 10/25 at 10:00 a.m. PT to 10/31 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can download and try the full Cult of the Lamb game at no additional cost.”

As mentioned above, there is a time period for this trial that ends on October 31, 2023. Almost a week of getting to try one of the most fun indie games of all time should be enough for one to make a decision.

Let’s not forget the full-fledged expansion packs

While game trials are an interesting way of introducing players to new games, Nintendo also offers players a bunch of expansion packs for their own first-party games. Currently, Nintendo Switch Online+ Expansion Pass holders can get their hands on expansion packs for three games.

Those games are Nintendo’s own Kart racer Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the very best 4 vs. 4 multiplayer game out there, Splatoon 3, and Animal Crossing New Horizons. If one has one of these games, or even all three, they can now get access to their expansion packs for free.

It looks like Nintendo is making Switch Online a great way to expand one’s library.
