Curse of the Dead Gods physical

Alongside a standard version, there’ll be a Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition contains a double-sided poster, soundtrack, and the game in a premium collector’s box.

A new trailer has come online for the Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope Tower of Doooom DLC, which is the first piece of the game’s season pass. A teaser was previously shown, but we now have a proper look.

As a reminder, the DLC involves Madame Bwahstrella asking Mario, Rabbid Peach, and their friends to clean her multi-dimensional tower and save their old friend Spawny. Included is a new combat game mode in which players take on highly strategic battles as they make their way to the top of the Tower.

While March may not feature any major Nintendo first-party releases, there are still quite a few Switch games to look forward to.

In a new video we’ve put together, Sam highlights six great looking games that are coming to Switch this month. Things are looking a bit quieter in March, but there are still notable releases with Atelier Ryza 3, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, and more.
