The Switch version of Fall Guys finally has a release date on Switch, with Mediatonic today announcing that the game will be available on June 21, 2022. Cross-play and cross-progression will be fully supported across all platforms thanks to Epic Online Services.
Mediatonic announced the Switch version of Fall Guys in February 2021, and it was originally planned for that summer. It was then delayed indefinitely a couple of months later.
Red Art Games, in partnership with PID Games and Alawar Premium, has announced a physical release for the 2D platformer They Always Run.
In Europe, Red Art Games will be handling everything itself. The game will have 4,000 standard units and 500 copies of the collector’s edition. Every order will come with a free acrylic stand. As for the collector’s edition, it includes a copy of the game, a custom box, an art book, and a soundtrack CD. Pre-orders begin on Thursday, May 19 at 5 PM CEST on the official Red Art Games online store.
Gameloft is continuing its slow rollout of information for Disney Speedstorm, and has recently provided a look at a never-before-seen Beauty and the Beast-inspired track. As you would expect, it’s quite recognizable thanks to things like teacups.
This is the latest course revealed for the game. We’ve previously seen Pirates Island from Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Ruins from The Jungle Book, a Monsters Inc. track, and another for Mount Olympus from Hercules, which has the Zeus Circuit, and Ares Circuit.
Original (5/15): This week’s UK software sales are in, with Nintendo Switch Sports again topping the chart for a third week in a row.
The title actually saw a 54 percent dip week-on-week. However, due to the lack of major releases as of late, it’s been able to stay #1. It’s thought that Nintendo Switch Sports could remain in the top five for the foreseeable future.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is also still selling as it’s in the second spot. The game has stayed in the top two for six weeks.
Capcom has kicked off its weapon trailer series for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, and we now have a look at Sword & Shield, Switch Axe, and Heavy Bowgun.
With the Sword & Shield, it’s said that this is now more versatile thanks to more silkbind moves and combos. The Switch Axe has new moves in Sunbreak, including a powerful new counter-attack. Finally, the Heavy Bowgun offers new empowering silkbind abilities.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Splatoon 3 is the top Switch title, though only a few votes separate third and fourth.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 21 and April 27.
