Image & Form’s hit Switch eShop title SteamWorld Dig 2 is getting a retail release. Today, Rising Star Games announced that a physical version will be sold this spring in both North America and Europe.

Smoke and Sacrifice features a handanimated story of motherhood and survival. The open-world, narrative-driven RPG will have you playing as a young mother who is on a quest to discover the fate of her son after he was sacrificed.

The fourth global mission in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon has now begun. This one involves Poke Beans.

Starting today, players are tasked with gathering as many Poke Beans as possible for the “Harvest Poke Beans!” global mission. The goal is for all players to collectively harvest 30,000,000 Poke Beans by 23:59 UTC on February 19.

If the goal is reached, everyone will be awarded with 2,000 Festival Coins as a reward. Even if the goal isn’t met, those who were involved will receive a participation prize of 1,000 Festival Coins. Both prizes will be doubled if players have their game registered on the Pokemon Global Link by the end of the global mission.

Earlier today, Niantic began distributing a new update for Pokemon GO. Like we usually see, dedicated fans have started plugging away to see if it holds anything interesting under the surface. And as it turns out, some very interesting information is hidden away inside.

The Silph Road shared its findings earlier today. What really seems notable here is some new quest functionality included in the code.

Zerodiv has a few different arcade games from Psikyo on Switch right now. Gunbarich and Strikers 1945 got things started last August, and we’ve seen Gunbird, Zero Gunner 2, and Strikers 1945 II since then. Zerodiv won’t be slowing down any time soon.

Blog updates from Zerodiv confirm even more arcade titles. Samurai Aces (Sengoku Aces) is coming soon, and it looks like Sol Divide and Taisen Hot Gimmick are on the way.
