Nintendo Switch - licensed chapters

Considering the game is releasing on Nintendo Switch in a month, right after the new chapter is out, will be getting access to it on Switch as well? How are licensed chapters going to be handled there?

    I was just wondering this, having pre-ordered and downloaded the game on my switch. I'd love to have The Shape on launch, and The Cannibal too (For BBQ&Chili purposes).

    If for any reason the switch can immediately just get the licensed dlc they will most likely just do what they did before Bill was able to go to console. They just renamed all his perks and made them neutral till he could be added in.

    They didnt rename them. They just changed icons and made them "universal" perks.

    Besides Bill, were there any other licensed DLC that wasn't available on console launch day 2017?

    No. It was just only Bill due to just having other stuff of ahead of getting the valve go ahead to add him in on console. They got everything else ready in advance.

    I think that new licensed chapters will be available, the older ones will need some time to be brought to the Switch, since they'll have to talk to the license holders

    Yes, that’s my concern. Were the licenses open to new potential consoles or was it established that they would use them only on PC, Xbox and PS4? If the latter, we might not see licensed killers nor survivors for a while.

    For example it took a few weeks for Micheal to be added to console, so they are definitely already talking to the license holders
