All signs pointed to Battle Chasers: Nightwar being pushed back on Switch, but we were holding out a tiny bit of hope that it would make the initial launch next month. Unfortunately though, a delay is in fact happening.

Airship Syndicate provided an update on the situation as part of a Kickstarter post. Currently the holdup amounts to some updates from Unity, the engine Battle Chasers was built with. A release date is unknown, but apparently the delay isn’t expected to be significant.

Here’s the full status update from Airship Syndicate:

Square Enix announced a demo for Lost Sphear at the Tokyo Game Show this week. It didn’t take long for it go live, as it’s now available on the Japanese Switch eShop.

The Lost Sphear demo takes up 793MB of space. Note that it is only in Japanese, though Square Enix will likely offer a localized version in a few months.

It’s been a strange past few weeks in terms of Final Fantasy XV potentially coming to Switch. Director Hajime Tabata originally seemed to tease some sort of Switch version at Gamescom, but things have changed regularly since then.

Our latest update comes from an interview with Famitsu. Officially, there are no plans to release Final Fantasy XV for Switch. Square Enix is conducting technical examinations to learn what sorts of things they can create on the platform. They are trying to see if optimizing their own engine would be better or if using Unreal Engine makes more sense on Switch. Also, somewhat similarly to what we recently heard, they are sharing their status with Nintendo and Epic. That’s what Tabata told the overseas media, but it turned out to be reported as they are planning to port Final Fantasy XV to Switch.

Tabata isn’t ruling anything out for the future. For now though, he’s focused on Final Fantasy XV for PC, the game’s new DLC, and the PC version.

At the Tokyo Game Show, Koei Tecmo confirmed that Attack on Titan 2 (not to be confused with Spike Chunsoft’s Attack on Titan 2 for 3DS), is coming to Switch. A few details were shared at the event, with Gematsu relaying the following:

• 3D Maneuver Gear actions are more diversified.
• Titan movements have evolved, making battles more exhilarating.
• Players can experience the story of the second season of the television anime.
• The amount of playable characters in Attack on Titan 2 has significantly increased from the 10 playable characters in Koei Tecmo’s first Attack on Titan game. (A specific number was not announced.)
• Players will be able to have deep exchanges with the characters from the original work.
• [???] can be created.
• [???] Mode has been implemented.

We also have a few screenshots:

At the Tokyo Game Show today, Koei Tecmo announced that DLC is coming to Fire Emblem Warriors. Three different packs are planned.

First, later this year, DLC based on Fire Emblem Fates will be released. Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon DLC will follow in Winter 2018 (towards the start of the new year). Finally, Fire Emblem Awakening will have DLC in Spring 2018.

All DLC will be priced at 1,400 yen. However, players will also be able to purchase all three pieces of content as a set. Doing so reduces the price from 4,200 yen to 3,000 yen, and a special bride costume for Lucina pictured above will be offered.
