It wasn’t too long ago that Dark Horse announced the release of The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia in North America. Fans will be able to pick up the book on April 24.

For those looking for something a little extra, Dark Horse will also be publishing a deluxe edition. It’s covered in gold foil paper with embossed, debossed and textured features. Also included is a black polypropylene sleeve lined with velvet flocking and a scale instruction booklet. The deluxe edition is a neat way to pay tribute to the very first Zelda game.

You’ll be able to get your hands on the deluxe edition April 24, the same day as the standard version. Pricing is set at $80.

Morphite may finally have a release date on Switch. According to a listing on the eShop, Blowfish Studios will be publishing the title on November 2.

Morphite was originally planned for September 7 on Switch. However, it was then delayed to September 21, and was pushed back a second time due to a technical issue.

We’re hoping that the November 2 release date will stick this time around. Also, while it’s not yet confirmed, a November 2 release in North America is very likely as well.

If you’ve already purchased the initial release on the eShop, you may want to hold off on buying this one – assuming you’re not interested in having it physically.
