Cinematic universes and connecting characters is a big part of the movie industry, but we’ve seen to see Nintendo tackle the idea with something like Super Smash Bros., which is a gaming franchise famous for its crossovers. However, there is at least one notable director out there with experience who would like to give it a shot.

Deck of Ashes release date

Deck of Ashes has secured a final release date on Switch. The adventure game with tactical card combat is slated for April 21, publisher Buka Entertainment and developer AYGames have announced.

Deck of Ashes will be sold on Switch as a Complete Edition with new “Tome of Dimensions” DLC included. This features Sibyl the Dark Soul as a new character who’s “looking to bring her race back from extinction.” Players can use Sibyl’s Deadly Shot ability to deal critical hits with different arrowheads, but she can also strengthen her power by resurrecting fallen enemies in the form of skeletons. That’s on top of two new effects in battle: Fear and Hysteria.
