Buka Entertainment and Ludus Future dated the console version of Demon Skin this week. The brutal hack-and-slash adventure game will be out for Switch on September 30, the two companies confirmed.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town

With some games that first launch in Japan, there can be a delay for when it finally reaches fans in North America and Europe. Story of Seasons has been one example of this, but thankfully the gap is decreasing dramatically. It took almost a year for Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town to head west after its Japanese debut, but with Pioneers of Olive Town, the title was made available in the west just one month later.
