Today, Nintendo announced the second soundtrack album for Splatoon 2, titled “Octotune”. Appropriately, it will contain music from the game’s upcoming Octo Expansion pack. The soundtrack will come with two CDs: the first one contains tracks from Octo Expansion as well as music that has been added to the game since release via software updates. The second CD contains a recording of the live concert performance that was held at Game Party Japan 2018.

There will also be a special first-print edition of the soundtrack that also contains a video recording of that performance on Blu-Ray. The standard edition will cost 3,200 Yen while the first-print edition will cost 4,800 Yen. Both will be relased on July 18th in Japan.

Development tools for the Switch are ever expanding. The latest addition is Live2D – put simply, it allows developers to animate a character exactly the way they are drawn in 2D artwork without the need to create a 3D model and without having to draw every single frame of the animation. Nintendo is no stranger to this technology, as it has been used in Fire Emblem Fates, for example.

Today, Live2D Inc. released the Live2D Cubism software development kit for Switch, which allows game developers to integrate 2D assets made with Live2D Cubism 3 into Switch games that are being developed with the Unity engine.

Square Enix has published a new (Japanese) trailer for Octopath Traveler. This “April overview” video covers a couple of topics, most importantly two new playable characters. The game’s official website has also been updated.

H’aanit is a hunter who lives a solitary life in a village deep in the woods. Her mentor left the village a year ago to hunt a demon called “Red Eyes”. Worried, H’aanit sets out to look for her mentor and the demon. Her Path Action is “Incite”, which she can use to set animals she has tamed on someone. In combat, she uses bows, a weapon class that has high accuracy. Hunters can also increase the critical hit chance of allies or delay the actions of enemies.
