Kotaro Uchikoshi’s newest game, AI: The Somnium Files, landed on Switch last year. Prior to that title, he worked on the trilogy of Zero Escape titles. Those releases are spread out across the DS and 3DS.
Could the three Zero Escape games find their way to Switch? Uchikoshi at least has interest. In an interview with Gamereactor, Uchikoshi said he hopes it happens.
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors debuted on DS a decade ago. We then saw Virtue’s Last Reward on 3DS in 2012 followed by Zero Time Dilemma in 2016.
Wargroove has updated on Switch to version 2.1.0. It includes gameplay balancing, bug fixes, and more.
Below are the full patch notes:
With major gaming shows having been cancelled and postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ubisoft has announced it will host its first ever digital conference. The event, called Ubisoft Forward, is promised to be “an E3-style showcase with plenty of exclusive game news, exciting reveals, and much more.”
Ubisoft Forward will take place on July 12 at the following times:
Publisher 2K and developer Firaxis have announced the New Frontier Pass for Civilization VI, a season pass that encompasses eight new civilizations, nine new leaders, six new game modes, and more. Players can expect new content to arrive in the form of six DLC packs delivered on a bimonthly basis between May 21, 2020 and March 2021.
Those who purchase the New Frontier Pass will receive the Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine De Medici Persona Packs as exclusive bonuses. These offer “a brand-new take on a favorite leader, with a new leader model and background, new gameplay bonuses and an updated agenda that reflects the changes to the leader’s personality.” 2K says Rough Rider Teddy “excels at keeping the peace on his home continent” whereas Magnificence Catherine “can use Luxuries to overwhelm the world with Culture and Tourism.” Both Persona Packs will be available with the second DLC Pack in July.
A new game based on the Doctor Who franchise has been confirmed for Switch. According to Maze Theory, the upcoming project will “create a trilogy of experiences” along with the previously-released VR title Doctor Who: The Edge of Time and a future mobile project.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the Switch game at present. Maze Theory’s announcement says fans can look forward to “new adventures, new game mechanics, intriguing subplots and iconic features such as the TARDIS, terrifying Weeping Angels, imposing Daleks and 0 of course – the chance to collude with the Doctor herself.”
The new Doctor Who game for Switch should launch sometime in 2021.
