It seems the classic Playstation adventure game, Kowloon’s Gate, is getting a sequel after 23 years, and it’s planned for a Switch release. This sequel is called Kowloon’s Rhizome: A Day of the Fire, and its publisher KGProject has created a campaign for the game on the crowdfunding site Campfire to raise funds. 

It seems likely this game will be funded, as it has already met half its goal with over 65 days still to go. The planned release is for Japan in Fall 2021, and it will be coming to Switch if funded. 

Check out a trailer for the game below and also feel free to look at the crowdfunding page for more specific details.

The ongoing short anime series, Pokemon Twilight Wings, is getting a new episode on November 5, 2020. In their announcement, the Pokemon Company mentioned that this episode will take place in the location of the Pokemon Sword/Shield Expansion Pass.

It is not specified if it will be in the Crown Tundra or the Isle of Amor, but this will be revealed when the episode drops at 7:00 AM PT on the Pokemon Company’s official YouTube.

It seems that Pokemon Sword/Shield players in Japan will have a chance to unlock exclusive in-game rewards due to a promotion starting November 20, 2020. According to Serebii, when Japanese players purchase certain Pokemon merchandise (including cards) after this start date, they will receive a code for one of many in-game Pokemon/Poke balls. 

The prizes include: Genesect, 20 Cyrite Ore, Fast Ball, Level Ball, Love Ball, Volcanion, Moon Ball, Heavy Ball, Friend Ball, Lure Ball, Marshadow, Safari Ball, Sport Ball and Master Ball. It’s unclear how long this promotion will last, but hopefully many players will be able to grab these items and Pokemon before they are gone.
