ConcernedApe began to tease new content for Stardew Valley last month. It was said at the time that it will be released alongside the free multiplayer update. Today, ConcernedApe provided brand new information that will be included.
Here’s the official word from the developer:
some things I've added for the new content update:
*new "town event" in winter
*new type of collection that you can start in your first winter
*Signs (can display any item on them)
*More outdoor decorations (some change w/ season)
*More NPC "events"
*A way to re-spec professions— ConcernedApe (@ConcernedApe) December 20, 2017
Stardew Valley’s new content and multiplayer update will go live on Switch sometime in 2018.
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood joins the Switch eShop tomorrow. Check out 21 minutes of footage in the video below.
Inti Creates, the developer of the Azure Striker Gunvolt series, has been hard at work on its new game Dragon Marked for Death. Originally, it was slated for Winter 2017. With the lack of news since the original announcement, Inti Creates shared the expected news today that the game is now coming sometime in 2018 instead.
The official Twitter account posted the following earlier today:
We wanted to give everyone an update on the release timeframe for Dragon Marked for Death. The team is working day and night to make this game the absolute best it it can be, and thus, the game will now release sometime in 2018.
Thank you very much for your patience. pic.twitter.com/2TufBYE8uN

2017 is almost up, so it would have been very surprising for Dragon Marked for Death to be released within the next couple of weeks. You can at least rest easy knowing that Inti Creates is doing everything possible to make the game as great as it can be.
When Christmas rolls in next week, it could be accompanied by a special event in Pokemon GO. Google Play in Taiwan teases what’s to come.
First, Niantic looks to be planning special sale boxes that include incubator and a new “starpiece” item. Also mentioned is more Pokemon from the Hoenn region, and the appearance of Delibird. Players should be able to encounter wearing Pikachu a Santa hat as well.
We expect that Niantic will be sharing official news about its new holiday event for Pokemon GO very soon.
We haven’t heard much about Dandara in recent months, but it’s definitely still in the works. Publisher Raw Fury also shared a status update today.
Dandara is currently planned to arrive on Switch sometime in February. To tide fans over, the game’s title screen was sent out on Raw Fury’s Twitter account that offers a taste of the music.
Dandara will be out in February 2018 for the Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, iOS and Android.
We'll have more to share soon. In the meantime, enjoy a taste of the evocative soundtrack that @Thommaz has created for Dandara. https://t.co/zF1jctLcMI pic.twitter.com/oSvMVlDptK

GamesIndustry has provided new information about gaming sales in the UK this year. The site breaks down the top five publishers by UK sales as well as sales by platform.
In terms of publishers, Nintendo ranks third when it comes to boxed sales. That’s behind EA (16.8%) and Activision Blizzard (15.6%), but ahead of Ubisoft (9.7%) and Sony (8.3%).
GamesIndustry also has the following breakdown of sales by platform in 2017:
ContraNetwork put together a video showing how the new Switch version of One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 compares to the original. Check it out below.
Titan Quest will cost $40 when it comes to Switch next year. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, pre-orders are supposed to be 20% off, making it $32. However, some sort of error is currently in place discounting it even further to $24.
Since this is an error, we expect it to be fixed soon. You can currently place an order here – you might just want to be quick about it.
You may know Davide Soliani as the creative director behind Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. But many years before that Switch game, Soliani wanted to work on another Nintendo franchise: Zelda.
During the GBA era, Soliani says he and artist Fabio Pagetti “almost convinced our managing director to let us produce a demo for a GBA version of Wind Waker.” Unfortunately, it didn’t get very far. There is also no working demo sadly.
Soliani shared the following on Twitter:
NBA 2K18’s latest update is now available on Switch. 2K Sports and Visual Concepts have started to distribute version 1.06.
The new update encompasses a number of improvements, fixes, and changes. The full patch notes are posted below.
