The European eShop has updated with another new game slated for Switch. If a listing on the store is accurate, Sky Ride will be out on August 28.

Here’s a brief overview:

An action game in which a player will ride on a high speed bike and defeat a large group of approaching enemies.

The player will fly over the ground, in the sky and various friends and fight utilizing 4 weapons. We aim for the game which offers a sense of exhilaration through routing the enemies all at once in addition to a sense of exhilaration felt through flying around in the sky.

And a trailer:

Sky Ride is made by Mutan, who worked on Atelier Rorona Plus for 3DS. The studio has also been involved with the western localizations of other Atelier entries.

The first entry in the Syberia franchise may have a Switch release date. Nintendo just added in a listing on the eShop today, showing that the game will be out on October 3.

Of course, there’s a chance that the date won’t stick. Nintendo has a habit of putting up eShop listings early, and some of the dates have been inaccurate. But if Syberia is coming out in Europe on October 3, we expect it to be available in North America around the same time.

Here’s an overview of Syberia from the eShop page:

As a way of celebrating Dragon Quest X’s fifth anniversary, Square Enix has created a series of short animations based on “‘miraculous’ stories” submitted by players.

The first video, called “The Feeling of a Name”, is attached below. Gematsu also provides us with the following synopsis:

“The Feeling of a Name” opens as a young girl watches her parents enjoy the in-game fireworks celebration for Dragon Quest X‘s fourth anniversary on August 2, 2016. She quietly points out to her father that it looks like everyone has gathered to celebrate Yukina’s birthday. Yukina is the name of her mother’s character, but in a flashback we learn that she was named after their elder daughter, Yukina, who passed away. A year goes by, and we see the father at a cafe, chatting in Dragon Quest X on his laptop, where it is suggested he proposes to his online friends the idea his daughter mentioned a year prior, unbeknownst to his wife. Finally, on August 2, 2017, the family is gathered once again to watch the in-game fireworks celebration for the game’s fifth anniversary. It is then that everyone viewing the fireworks start to wish Yukina a happy 15th birthday, bringing tears to the surprised mother’s eyes. Had she been alive, Yukina would have turned 15 years old that day.
