Xbox Game Studios, Mojang, and Blackbird Interactive have announced Minecraft Legends, an action strategy game. It’s heading to Switch in 2023.
Here’s an official overview with more information:
Overwatch 2 has a release date, and Blizzard has revealed that it will launch on October 4, 2022 in early access. Switch owners will be happy to hear that the title is also still releasing on Nintendo’s console.
Overwatch 2 features a new five-versus-five multiplayer format with cross-platform play and cross-platform progression. Blizzard says the game’s PvP “is designed to offer incredible and fresh competitive gameplay with a new, free-to-play model and major game updates such as new heroes, hero reworks, maps, modes, and premium cosmetics.”
A Plague Tale: Requiem debuted a new “End of Innocence” trailer at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 today. The video servers as a first proper look at gameplay.
We have more on A Plague Tale: Requiem in the following overview:
Original: During the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, Team Cherry debuted a new trailer for Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was revealed in 2019, and fans have been anxiously awaiting it since then. Other than the latest details that emerged from EDGE at the very end of 2020, but we haven’t had many status updates since then.
According to Pokemon producer Shigeki Morimoto, the original entries in the series almost left out multiplayer battles.
That news comes from a Japanese Pokedex book from 1996, which was recently translated by Did You Know Gaming. Morimoto mentioned how he thought multiplayer battles “would be a pain to program”. Additionally, Game Freak was running out of time. Nintendo, however, essentially demanded for the feature to be included.
Half Asleep has announced a final release date for Melatonin, its “rhythm game about dreams and reality merging together.” It’ll be reaching Switch on September 16, 2022.
It was only just last month that we found out about Melatonin. As part of the initial reveal, it had a general Q3 2022 release window.
SEGA and Amplitude Studios announced the strategy title Humankind for consoles during Summer Game Fest this week, but you may have noticed that Switch was left out of the mix. While there’s been nothing in the way of an official announcement, a version for Nintendo’s console could still be possible in the future.
Humankind has not only been rated for Switch once, but twice. Classifications have surfaced from the ESRB as well as in Taiwan. One would think that this could potentially be an error, though the fact that there are multiple ratings certainly makes things interesting. Perhaps a Switch version could be announced at a later date.
