OlliOlli World Finding the Flowzone

Publisher Private Division and developer Roll7 today announced Finding the Flowzone, the second and last expansion to OlliOlli World. Switch owners can pick it up on November 2, 2022.

Here’s what’s been shared thus far:

Bellibolt Pokemon Scarlet Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have revealed Bellibolt, another new creature for the games. This is said to be an EleFrog Pokemon.

According to The Pokemon Company, “Bellibolt expands and contracts its elastic body to generate electricity in an organ that looks like a belly button. The huge amount of electricity generated this way is then discharged from the two bumps on either side of its head that resemble eyeballs.​ Its actual eyes are adorably small and round.”

Savior of the Abyss

The horror adventure game Savior of the Abyss is on the way to Switch, publisher CFK has announced. A release is planned by the end of 2022.

Savior of the Abyss is a horror adventure game in the RPG Maker style made by Korean indie game dev Alllaugh Games. It takes inspiration from titles such as Ib, Mad Father, and The Witch’s House. CFK is promising “a few tweaks and new translations” for the Switch edition.

Here’s an overview of the game:

An extensive new update for Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris has just been released, bringing with it a variety of new content, quality of life updates, and bug fixes. Full details can be found below:

Back in August, it was announced that upcoming adventure game A Space for the Unbound was to be delayed indefinitely due friction between the game’s developers, Toge Productions and Mojiken Studio, and their publisher at the time, PQube. Thankfully, this situation has now been resolved, with PQube ceding publishing rights to Chorus Worldwide.

While Toge Productions is still set to publish the game on PC, Chorus Worldwide is picking up the publishing mantle as global publisher for all console versions. As such, it would seem that PQube will no longer be involved in the game’s launch, but the title should be getting primed for release once again.

Here is the full statement from the involved parties detailing release plans going forwards:

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova released today on Switch, and Bandai Namco have dropped a launch trailer to celebrate the occasion, giving us a quick look at the gameplay and a brief overview of the story.
