System: Switch 2
Release date: January 22, 2026
Developer: Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
As a franchise standing at about three decades, one could be forgiven for feeling that maybe the Dynasty Warriors series had gotten a little stale. With an addictive gameplay loop that can be satisfying on a basic level of dishing out lots of damage to hordes of enemies with powerful weapons to the deeper tactical side of managing a battlefield, it has been so popular that spin-offs following the same formula have been released with different franchise coats of paint. Persona, The Legend of Zelda, One Piece, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, and more have all gotten the Warriors treatment over the years, so chances are you have at least played one of Omega Force’s hack-and-slash titles. Criticism has been labeled at the last few Musou games for just sticking to the core formula without evolving or shaking it up. Some have argued there hasn’t been any strong innovation in the series since 2003’s Dynasty Warriors 4, and although that’s a statement I don’t agree with, I can understand the sentiment of burnout with the franchise and its many iterations. Now after a seven-year gap between Dynasty Warriors 9 and Origins, what has changed and what have the developers done to tackle the notion of the series needing a refresh?

This week, Aspyr issued its first update for Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch with version 1.0.2.
Improvements and fixes are included in both versions. As part of this, the game has seen some performance enhancements, including in some specific areas.
The full rundown is as follows:
After it was originally rated in 2024, a fresh classification has emerged for a potential Nintendo Switch version of Hi-Fi Rush.
The listing was re-added to the PEGI database yesterday. If this seems familiar, that’s because the rating originally surfaced in 2024. However, that was when the IP was still with Bethesda. Hi-Fi Rush is now with Krafton and the company is included in the updated listing.

Standing in at just over 1,000 pieces, there’ll be minifigures for Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf, Navi, brick-built Ganon, the Megaton Hammer, and recovery hearts.
