Publisher RedDeerGames have announced that Ultreïa, a point-and-click adventure game that marks the debut of solo developer Olivier De Rop, will launch on Switch eShop on March 25. The game was released on Steam last year. Inspired by Grim Fandango and Machinarium and blending elements of both for a “dark cute” experience, the game will have players take on the role of a small robot in a story focusing on themes of life and death.

The producer of the Rune Factory franchise, Yoshifumi Hashimoto, once summarized the games as “Harvest Moon where you wield a sword.” And while that’s technically true, it’s a bit reductive; not content in being merely another set of farming-focused slice of life experiences, the Rune Factory games lean deeper into the “role-playing” aspects of their fantasy settings, giving you more room to explore, fight, craft and shape your experience to your liking then Harvest Moon ever has. Rune Factory 5 is the first 3D entry in the franchise since 2011’s Tides of Destiny, and thus feels primed to capture the attention of more new fans than ever before. While this new entry may lack the overall polish in its mechanics and presentation that it deserves, Rune Factory 5 is still an overall rewarding experience full of charm that I thoroughly enjoyed.
New information has released concerning Dragalia Lost’s future plans, and sadly, it seems that the game is nearing the end of its lifespan. It’s been announced that no new content is planned to be added past July 2022.
This comes to us through the game’s official website, with a post detailing what the remaining future of Dragalia has to offer. The last set of new adventurers will be added on March 31, 2022 and existing summoning showcases and event revivals will be recycled in the coming months. Beyond that however, the only content updates the game will receive will be for the main campaign and certain quests, with the main campaign itself set to end in July. The game itself will come to a close and end distribution some time after that, with more details to be provided in the future.
