A beautiful puzzle game has just been announced for Nintendo Switch! Lifted, a wild and quirky cinematic puzzle-platforming adventure from former Disney Imagineer developer Jeffrey Ashbrook, is officially on its way to the Big N’s console and is set to launch in the first quarter of 2026.
Set in Egypt and the Ruins Beyond, the game puts players in the shoes of Ari Buktu, a curious and laid-back young man who ends up taking on missions and battling enemies in search of ancient artifacts—all while just hoping to score some extra credit in Professor Lionel Raventhorpe’s science class.
Developer Abbey Games and publisher Firesquid Games have announced that Reus 2 will soon make its way to Nintendo Switch, with a release set for October 23. Alongside the base game, the Ice Age DLC will also launch on the same day, introducing a brand-new Ice Age biome shaped by an alternate version of the Ice Giant.
In Reus 2, players take control of mighty giants who shape the planet for humanity to inhabit, thrive, and wage wars upon. Key decisions will determine how mankind’s destiny unfolds in a cosmos of your own making, as you experiment with civilization and discover what human tribes can achieve with the right mix of elements.

It has been more than twenty-five years since Final Fantasy Tactics first landed on the original PlayStation, quietly establishing itself as one of the most influential tactical RPGs ever made. While its initial release was overshadowed by the mainstream success of Final Fantasy 7, the game steadily built a reputation as a genre-defining classic. Now Square Enix has brought it back with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, a rerelease that preserves the essence of the original while finally delivering content that western audiences never had access to. The timing is no accident. Tactical RPGs are enjoying renewed popularity, and Square Enix appears to recognize that players – both veterans and newcomers – are ready to experience adventure in Ivalice once more.
