10tons has announced Undead Horde, a new fantasy action RPG. It’s currently in development for Switch.

Here’s more information about Undead Horde, as well as a pre-alpha trailer:

In Undead Horde the player assumes the role of a necromancer on a quest to eradicate the living from the ancestral lands of the undead.

– Slay enemies and assimilate their corpses into your army
– Easy to get into RPG style hack, slash & cast action
– Find items, level up, and raise the dead to become more powerful
– Build up your Necromancer with items to suit your personal tastes and playstyle
– Procedural item generation: Endless number of items to loot, steal and buy – can you find the most epic ones?
– A vast world to explore and conquer – environments ranging from forests to catacombs.

The psychological horror game Layers of Fear: Legacy is set for a release on Switch February 21. With just little over a week from release, Bloober Team, the game’s developer, has detailed how the Switch’s unique HD Rumble feature will be used in the game in conjunction with the Joy-Con:

Probably the one feature that will stand out immediately will be the ability to open a door or a drawer by the swing of your hand. We have been working with the rumble feature for some time, trying to tune it to an output that won’t spoil the discreet atmosphere of our horror game with over-rumbling (a reaction you would expect to follow a jump scare), but preserving a distinct tactile experience, while exploring the game’s environment.
