Also note that while Nintendo’s Dream context indicates that this is a single announcement, Japanese doesn’t easily differentiate between plural and singular.

Release date: August 25, 2020
Developer: Atelier Mimina
Publisher: NIS America
With how things are in 2020, video games have become more popular than ever, and even more so the ones that can help us escape and relax, be free from trouble, and still illicit exploration filled with joy and wonder. These kinds of titles have become somewhat of a safe haven for me.
