- Eden is a new Switch emulator launching tomorrow in pre-alpha.
- It’s a Yuzu fork with new features and a new UI.
- The team previously worked on Citron, breaking off after internal disputes.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is less than a month away, and despite Nintendo’s best efforts, Switch emulation continues to forge ahead. Citron, Sudachi, and other Yuzu forks have kept the flame burning after Nintendo shut down the original team at Tropic Haze last year. Tomorrow, an exciting new contender will finally be released to the public in pre-alpha, and it might quickly become the best way to play Switch games on Android.
Called Eden, it’s yet another project that builds on the framework that the Yuzu team started. However, the team promises it’s not just another Yuzu fork, with a new UI and several new features already implemented in the pre-alpha. A video by YouTuber Alexwpi shows some of those features in action, and the performance is similar to that of other leading Switch emulators, even at this early stage. Breath of the Wild is seen running at 100fps on PC, and games like Mario Kart 8 have improved performance on Android.
