The Life is Strange and Vampyr developer, Dontnod Entertainment is establishing a new studio in Montreal, Canada according to a PR email that has been sent out. The apparent reason for the expand is for the French developer to be closer to its North American fans, but the email also mentions a new project they will be working on in this studio.

It’s also worth mentioning that apparently only French versions of this email have been sent out thus far, and an official English translation is not available at this time. You can check out the complete PR email unofficially translated to English below, courtesy of GoNintendo:

Nintendo and Monolith Soft are teaming up with Good Smile for a new product. Melia, as she appears in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, will receive a scale figure.

As for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, the game launches May 29.

Fans spotted numerous third-party listings for Switch on Amazon France earlier today. No specific titles were mentioned, but we do know that they come from Warner Bros., Bethesda, Square-Enix, Ubisoft, Capcom, and Take-Two. Some companies had multiple listings while others were limited to just one.

Following up on that news, it seems that Nintendo itself has its own set of listings. You can access those pages here, here, here, and here.

It’s unclear what these listings could be at present. They all have placeholder images associated with them, so ignore the Ring Fit Adventure and amiibo boxarts. The tentative December 31 release dates also don’t give us much to go on. With any luck, Nintendo will be treating us with some announcements in the weeks and months to come.

EDIT: A new placeholder has popped up on Amazon France for a Switch game published by Koch Media and you can find that game placeholder here .
