It’s the end of the week, which means another weapon update for Splatoon 2. This time it’s a brand-new weapon: the Undercover Brella will be added to the game soon. Compared to other Brella-type weapons, it has lower durability but can be fired while its semi-transparent shield is open. It comes with the Ink Mine sub-weapon and the Splashdown special. It will be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.

We haven’t heard much about the Switch version of Tencent’s multiplayer battle arena game Arena of Valor since it was announced during a Nintendo Direct earlier this year. However, the studio now appears to be gearing up for a closed beta.

Over in Europe, you can apply through a survey here. Not everyone who completes it is guaranteed to join, and we’re not exactly sure when the actual beta will begin. It’s also unknown when signups will start in other regions. Regardless, it’s a positive sign that Tencent is starting to give Arena of Valor some attention on Switch.

Hello Neighbor has been classified for Switch by PEGI, suggesting that a release could be on the horizon – or at the very least tinyBuild is considering the possibility. A listing for the potential version was added to the database earlier this month.

Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game, with the goal of sneaking into your neighbor’s house to figure out what horrible secrets he’s hiding in the basement. We’ve included some additional information and a trailer below.
