Bethesda has slowly rolled out information about Doom’s performance on Switch. Yesterday we found out that the game runs at 30 frames per second, at least officially anyway. Rolling Stone, who shared that information, managed to obtain some additional details from Bethesda as well.

First, Doom’s resolution is 720p on Switch. That’s regardless of which mode you’re playing in – docked or portable. Both are the same.

Bethesda also says that Doom won’t have any motion controls on Switch. The functionality is being added for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but it won’t be present in Doom.

Attack on Titan 2 is coming to Switch, Koei Tecmo has announced. The news was shared during an event at the Tokyo Game Show. Along with Switch, Koei Tecmo will be releasing the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam.

We won’t have to wait on a localization announcement for this one, thankfully. The game was already confirmed for North America and Europe earlier in the year when the original reveal took place. Switch isn’t officially set for the west since today’s news was only just shared for Japan, but given how the major games for the platform are being localized thus far (Atelier, Nights of Azure 2), we expect Koei Tecmo to have an update for the west soon.

Here’s the original teaser for Attack on Titan 2:

Attack on Titan 2 will release in early 2018.
