The new game development course is taught with the Unity engine which is cross-platform, and uses C#. Because Unity can create games for many platforms such as PC, Mac, mobile, and game consoles it doesn't make sense to use a language like Swift which is only used for Mac/iOS.

I'm putting together a course on C# right now so you'll be able to take that soon too.
