Jackbox Games announces "Fakin' It XL" for Switch and Switch 2

Jackbox Games has announced that Fakin' It is getting a standalone release as Fakin' It XL, and it's coming to Switch and Switch 2 before the end of the year. You can see the debut trailer for Fakin' It XL above. In Fakin' It XL, you can FINALLY discover how bad your friends are at lying, without any relationship-ending arguments! Fakin' It XL supports up to 8 players. In each round, players get simple instructions on their phone like 'raise your hand if you've continued eating food after finding a hair in it.' Easy enough. Except one player, The Faker, doesn't have the instructions and has to blend in as if they do. Notice everyone raising their hand? Quick, raise yours too! But when the prompt is revealed and everyone asks about your disgusting hair-eating habits, you'd better come up with a quick lie to explain yourself. It's the players' job to find the Faker by grilling everyone on their answers, and the Faker's job to lie like crazy and shift the blame to someone else. Find the Faker in three rounds or they'll go free and earn a ton of points. Play with the best poker face and you may just win it all. In Fakin' It XL, each player will have an avatar that accurately depicts their reaction to the prompt. There will also be two secret tasks; Emojional Damage and Thumb Luck. With Emojional Damage, players will be asked a question and the faker will be told a general emoji category. While players must respond with the perfect emoji for the situation, the faker will have to come up with lies to make it seem like they responded to the same question. In Thumb Luck, players will be asked to give their opinion on specific topics, and they must respond with a thumbs up or a thumbs down. The key is that the faker doesn't know what they're responding to.
