Paladins has been updated today with major functionality. Cross-play and cross-progression is now supported between Switch, Xbox One, and PC. If you’re playing on Switch, you can battle against any user from those other two platforms. Progress between all of these platforms can also be carried over.
That’s not all for today’s update, as Shattered Desert has also been added as a new map. Full details on what’s new and changed can be found here.
Space War Arena is seeing a two-week delay. Originally scheduled for February 14, it has been pushed back to February 28. Pre-orders will open on February 21.

Much was made of Unravel Two at last year’s E3 when EA failed to announce the game for Switch. Given the nature of the game and its co-op feature, some felt like a big opportunity was being missed. We later heard from Coldwood Interactive that quite a bit of work would have been needed to bring Unravel Two for Switch, and it would have taken “another half a year or so”.
EA and Coldwood may have gone to work since then, as a new listing has appeared on Amazon Italy for a Switch version of Unravel Two. The retailer lists a tentative March 22 release. Keep in mind that the listing shouldn’t be taken as a confirmation, but it’s a good sign that the game could be announced for Nintendo’s console.
During a live stream earlier today, Square Enix announced that it will release DLC No. 1: Japanese-Style Pack for Dragon Quest Builders 2 in Japan on February 28. Pricing is set at 700 yen.

Trine Enchanted Edition was added to the Switch eShop last November. Today, developer Frozenbyte provided an update on the next two entries in the series.
Trine 2: Complete Story is due out for Switch on February 18 at a price point of $16.99 / €16.99 / £15.29. Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power will follow “soon”. And if that wasn’t enough, the entire series will be released physically as a GameStop exclusive this spring.
During the News Zero program on Nippon Television Network, it was announced that a 3D CG movie based on Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is in development. “Dragon Quest: Your Story” will be directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who previously worked on Always: Sunset on Third Street, Parasyte, and more.
Here’s the rundown of staff involved:
