Re:TAKE

KU Games has confirmed that its upcoming title Re:TAKE is in the works for Switch. The project, a fantasy 2D side scrolling combat title, is planned for release later in 2023.

The premise behind Re:TAKE is that a kingdom has been attacked by a horde of skeletons and a black dragon with a mysterious flying object. Some sort of being emerges from it, and the people label it as the “Demon King”. The whole game is about going up against this particular foe.

Another tidbit has been shared about the debut sales for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this time for France. We’re hearing that the game sold roughly 500,000 copies in its first week. Keep in mind that’s only based on physical – Nintendo doesn’t report digital data.

Putting Zelda’s sales into perspective, it sold more than Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet did at release. It also outperformed the launches of Red Dead Redemption II and the latest FIFAs, which have been popular in the region.

Monster Sanctuary Relics of Chaos update

Original (5/9): Monster Sanctuary has another big update in store that should be appearing on Switch very soon.

The highlight here is Relic Mode, which adds a new type of equipment to the game. Players can also use new skills. Finally, there’s various quality of life improvements along with tons of balance changes.
