Runestone Keeper

New footage is in for the roguelike / roguelite dungeon crawler Runestone Keeper, which arrives on Switch this week. View the gameplay below.

Runestone Keeper launches as a Switch eShop download on August 20.

Civilization VI

A new August 2020 update has been announced for Civilization VI, which will be available to all players. It features the Natural Wonder picker (customize which Natural Wonders will/won’t show up), a Tech and Civics Shuffle mode that randomizes your path forward on the Tech and Civics trees, and more.

Here’s a video introducing the update:

Sports Story

Sports Story, the next game from Golf Story developer Sidebar Games, has been delayed.

Sports Story was originally expected in Switch in mid 2020. However, there was some concern about the project’s status after a listing on Nintendo’s website changed the release window to “TBD”.

Nintendo has announced that it will host a Management Briefing Session next month. It’s set to take place on September 16 in Tokyo.

Details about the meeting have not been disclosed. However, there will not be any announcements pertaining to the likes of new products and services.

Despite the lack of uncertainty as to what the event is actually planned for, it’s fairly noteworthy. We typically don’t see Nintendo host these types of in-person events. There have been financial results briefings many times before, but this is something else entirely. We can only speculate as to what Nintendo will be discussing during the event.
