System: Switch
Release date: October 15, 2019
Developer: Blizzard / Iron Galaxy Studios
Publisher: Blizzard

Overwatch took the world by storm when it released in 2016, and even now years later it has grown into a property worth billions of dollars. The Switch version sees its release in 2019 three years after its launch on PC and consoles, sporting newly featured gyro controls and the ability to make the experience portable. But as great as Overwatch is, are the sacrifices made to run on what is essentially a tablet worth it at the end of the day?

During its E3 2019 press conference, Ubisoft closed out the show by announcing Gods & Monsters. The Zelda-esque action-adventure game was slated for February, but we’ve seen nothing of the game since. Unsurprisingly, Ubisoft has now announced a delay.

Gods & Monsters will now launch sometime during the next fiscal year, which starts on April 1, 2020. A more specific window beyond this has not yet been provided.

Regarding the delay of Gods & Monsters and other titles, Ubisoft explained: “we want our teams to have more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players.”
