5pb. published the opening movie for Our World is Ended today, which you can watch below. The visual novel is set to launch in Japan on February 28, in Europe on March 22 and in North America on March 26.
The Special Heroes: Greil’s Devoted Summoning Focus is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. Until March 3rd, you have the chance to get Ike, Mist, Soren and Greil in their special Day of Devotion outfits. As always, since these are considered Special Heroes, they won’t be added to the regular summoning pool once this Summoning Focus ends. There’s also a new Paralogue story featuring these Heroes, as well as some time-limited quests.
As part of the game’s second anniversary celebration, another Summoning Focus is available only today – Ephraim & Myrrh’s Bound Hero Battle. The 5-star focus units are Myrrh: Great Dragon, Ephraim: Restoration Lord and Eirika: Anamnesis Lady.
Finally, the Special Orb Promo for February is now available. You can purchase 21 orbs and get 60 Sacred Coins as an additional gift.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Dragalia Lost is set to host its first story event — titled Valentine’s Confections.
From February 14th until February 22nd, players will earn exclusive event items from main story quests and event-related quests that can be used to unlock limited-time stories for certain characters.
Not many other details on the event are known at this time, aside from the quote below, provided by the official Dragalia Lost website.
The eighth and latest Gyroidite Scavenger Hunt is now live within Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp — fittingly themed for Valentine’s Day.
Titled “Valentine’s Jam Session”, players will once again be tasked with searching and finding numerous Gyroidites. However, this time they will have the opportunity to trade these in for Valentine’s Day themed instruments.
The event is set to last until February 15th. A list of craft-able items can be viewed below.

The developer Neos has announced that a new Sanrio game — titled Puru-Chara Friends: Hoppe-chan to Sanrio Characters — is heading to Switch on April 25th in Japan.
Gematsu has gone through the trouble of translating the retail overview for the game. It can be viewed below, along with a couple early screenshots.
EEDAR has published a new report on Q4 2018 gaming, including information about Switch that details a shift in its demographics. We learn that the player base has a more even male-female split while ages are starting to skew both younger and lower than 30.
Below are some of the more notable tidbits:
One Switch game we hadn’t heard about previously is The Rainsdowne Players, a “creativity-driven RPG about a rundown theatre and pleasing its unruly clientele”. It’s actually out right now via the eShop.
Here’s an overview from the developer, along with a trailer:
