River City Girls 2 villains

Arc System Works and WayForward have readied a new trailer for River City Girls 2 that provides a look at the game’s villains. These include Sabuko (the “disgraced daughter”), Ken (the “rich boy yakuza”), and Sabu (the “criminal patriarch).

Here’s some information about the game:

River City Girls 1 & 2

Original (8/17): Retailer listings have outed River City Girls 1 & 2 for release on Switch in Japan. It will be available on December 1, 2022.

What you’re getting here is pretty straightforward as River City Girls 1 and 2 will be available together in a single package. The first game has been on Switch for some time, but the sequel has yet to release.

River City Girls 2 delayed

WayForward has provided an update on River City Girls 2, announcing that the game will now be available in North America “sometime after its originally expected late summer 2022”. Specifics beyond that were not announced. However, some new cover art was shared on social media, which we have above.

River City Girls 2 was first revealed in June 2021. WayForward had hoped that the game would be ready for this summer, but that didn’t happen in the end.

This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine has revealed an updated release date for River City Girls 2 in Japan. The title will now be releasing on December 1, 2022 in the region.

It should be noted that the last update we received for River City Girls 2 was in December 2021, with a trailer providing a Summer 2022 release window for the game. Considering this new Japanese release date, it’s likely that this Summer 2022 release window has slid in other regions as well, in which case we should hear a confirmation for the game’s new worldwide release date soon.

River City Saga: Three Kingdoms gameplay

Arc System Works brought River City Saga: Three Kingdoms to Switch in the west this week, and new gameplay has emerged. 24 minutes of footage has come in.

Here’s an overview of the game with further details:

Dragon Ball FighterZ update 1.31

Dragon Ball FighterZ started to distribute a new 1.31 update on most platforms last week, though not on Switch. Thankfully, after a short delay, everyone on Nintendo’s console can access it as well.

The new update is all about balance adjustments. There are a ton of changes to sift through across the board for the game’s characters.

Below are the full patch notes for the Dragon Ball FighterZ version 1.31 update:

Ground Divers gameplay

We now have gameplay for Ground Divers, a digging roguelike experience from Arc System Works. A half hour of footage has come in.

Here’s an overview of the game with more details:

River City Saga: Three Kingdoms - River City Girls

Misako and Kyoko are joining River City Saga: Three Kingdoms as part of the game’s Heroes of the Three Kingdoms: Battle of Red Cliffs mode, it’s been revealed.

As a reminder, this mode has players going through ten stages where powerful bosses await as they work together – and sometimes compete against each other. It’s possible to turn friendly fire on / off here, find hidden stages, and more.

River City Saga: Three Kingdoms trailer

Launch trailers for games tend to be published very close to their release date, but that’s not the case for River City Saga: Three Kingdoms. Although it’s over a month out in the west, Arc System Works is already wrapping up its video promotion efforts.

Here’s an overview of the game with more information: 

Ground Divers

Arc System Works has announced Ground Divers, a slapstick discovery game for Switch. It will be released on June 30, 2022.

Ground Divers has players guiding the rabbit-like mining robot Tsuruhashi into increasingly complex mine shafts of their own creation. They’ll be digging for “rare” matter as well as battling underground enemies, building Pit Relay Systems to help offer upgrades and supporting units along the way, and more.
