Infernium announced for Switch, out very soon
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Carlos Coronado has announced that his non-linear first-person survival game Infernium is coming to Switch. Expect it on the eShop “really, really soon”.
Infernium has enemies that you generally can’t kill or damage, meaning you’ll be chased quite a bit. You’ll need to make your way through 17 interconnected non-linear levels in a persistent world. New Game+ and multiple endings should keep the experience fresh. The game is also confirmed to run at 720p and 30 frames per second on Switch.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 slated for this fall in North America and Europe
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
SEGA has narrowed down the release window for Valkyria Chronicles 4 in the west slightly. Though we previously knew it was planned for this year, we can now say it’s coming this fall. That applies to both North America and Europe.
Retailers have started listing Valkyria Chronicles 4 for October 16. However, we don’t believe there’s much merit as that’s just a placeholder data.
You can access Valkyria Chronicles 4’s new English website here.
