13AM Games, the developer behind Runbow, has unveiled its next project. Double Cross is coming to Switch this summer, the studio announced today.
Double Cross is an action-adventure game with plenty of platforming. You’ll play as Zahra, an agent of the dimension peacekeepers RIFT (otherwise known as Regulators of Interdimensional Frontiers and Technology). After RIFT is attacked, players will be involved in a new case as they travel across dimensions. The game has unlockable gear, a “Proton Slinger” mechanic that offers a diversity of movement in levels and the ability to grab and throw objects and enemies, upgradeable attacks and combos, and more.
If you’re at PAX East 2018 this week, you can try out Double Cross out for the first time. We have the first full details and trailer below.

Nintendo (and the console industry in general) doesn’t have a huge market presence in South Korea, but they are nonetheless selling their products there. The Nintendo Switch launched there last December and sold well in its first weeks on the market. This was despite the fact that a key component of the system wasn’t available – the eShop.
Today, that changed as the Switch eShop is now available in South Korea. It can be accessed directly from the Switch, and there’s also a website version located here where you can buy codes which you can then redeem on your Switch.
