Team Cherry announced today that Hollow Knight: Silksong is coming to Nintendo Switch. This is a full-blown sequel to Hollow Knight. This time, you play as Hornet, one of the pivotal characters from the first game. The game currently has no set release date, so it could be a while before we can play it. Check out the announcement trailer, and keep reading below for the full press release from Team Cherry:

Here’s a bit of interesting information about Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Did you know that the game is being co-developed by Koei Tecmo? That means Intelligent Systems and Nintendo aren’t working on the project alone.

If you’re wondering where that news comes from, the special edition for Fire Emblem: Three Houses has copyright information confirming Koei Tecmo’s co-development. The same notice is also included on the eShop page.

Nintendo has passed along a press release recapping all of today’s news from the latest Nintendo Direct. Read it in full below.

In a new Nintendo Direct video presentation, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Maker 2, a sequel to the groundbreaking original game, and a stylish re-imagining of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening are both launching this year for the Nintendo Switch system. The video also revealed ASTRAL CHAIN, a new action game from PlatinumGames exclusive to Nintendo Switch.

In addition to introducing other acclaimed titles coming to Nintendo Switch, like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the video also provided more details about upcoming Nintendo games like Fire Emblem: Three HousesYoshi’s Crafted WorldDAEMON X MACHINA and MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order, among many others. Nintendo Switch will also be home to BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!, the next iteration in the charming puzzle-platformer series coming to Nintendo eShop.

Plus, starting today, Nintendo Switch owners will have access to surprise launches like the online 99-player puzzle-fest Tetris® 99and classic SQUARE ENIX role-playing game FINAL FANTASY IX, as well as new co-op DLC for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and free demos for upcoming anticipated games.

Nintendo Directs have been on a bit of a hiatus, but are finally back in a big way. A new presentation will be kicking off in an hour from now – 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe. It’ll last about 35 minutes.

Nintendo has confirmed that Fire Emblem: Three Houses will have a presence here. Beyond that, things are a bit of a mystery. We’ll all find out what Nintendo has in store for us very soon, and you can watch the event as it happens below. Devin will also be taking care of our live blog right in this post, though posts about important announcements will be added to the site as well (and after the show is over).

Much was made of Unravel Two at last year’s E3 when EA failed to announce the game for Switch. Given the nature of the game and its co-op feature, some felt like a big opportunity was being missed. We later heard from Coldwood Interactive that quite a bit of work would have been needed to bring Unravel Two for Switch, and it would have taken “another half a year or so”.

EA and Coldwood may have gone to work since then, as a new listing has appeared on Amazon Italy for a Switch version of Unravel Two. The retailer lists a tentative March 22 release. Keep in mind that the listing shouldn’t be taken as a confirmation, but it’s a good sign that the game could be announced for Nintendo’s console.

Trine Enchanted Edition was added to the Switch eShop last November. Today, developer Frozenbyte provided an update on the next two entries in the series.

Trine 2: Complete Story is due out for Switch on February 18 at a price point of $16.99 / €16.99 / £15.29. Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power will follow “soon”. And if that wasn’t enough, the entire series will be released physically as a GameStop exclusive this spring.

Layton’s Mystery Journey originally came to 3DS in 2017. Last year, Level-5 ported the game to Switch as an enhanced version known as “Layton’s Mystery Journey DX”. While it only saw a release in Japan, we could finally be seeing it in the west.

A rating for Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy Deluxe Edition has now appeared in Germany. The classification suggests that Level-5 will be making an announcement soon. We do know that a Nintendo Direct is taking place later today – perhaps it could be confirmed there, if not in the near future.
