Capcom has published a new Monster Hunter Rise developer interview with Yasunori Ichinose, the game’s director. Ichinose spoke about a few different topics including the fan response.

An announcement regarding a Switch version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 could be coming soon. The man himself – Tony Hawk – put out a tweet asking the official Crash Bandicoot Twitter account for help in bringing the release to additional platforms, much like the recent news of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. Nintendo also put out a couple of messages on social media.

Here’s the full roundup of tweets:

The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds’ first expansion Peril on Gorgon just recently came to Switch. Fans will be happy to hear that the second DLC drop, Murder on Eridanos, will be released on the system as well.

That news comes from a listing on the eShop. It’s now possible to purchase the “Board-Approved Bundle”, which contains The Outer Worlds main game, Peril on Gorgon, and Murder on Eridanos.

According to the listing, Murder on Eridanos will arrive later in 2021. It’s just unclear if Switch will be getting the DLC on the same day as all other platforms.
