The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy creator Edmund McMillen has announced his next game. The End Is Nigh, developed by McMillen as well as Tyler Glaiel, has actually pretty much finished development. It’s launching on Steam in about a month, with a release on Switch to follow later.

The End Is Nigh features adventure-platformer gameplay. Players can control Ash in over 600 levels scattered across 12+ chapters.

A teaser trailer and additional information about The End is Nigh are attached below.

The End Is Nigh is a sprawling adventure platformer where the player takes control over Ash, one of few “things” that have “survived” the “end of the world”.

Follow Ash as he flops his way through a future of pain and suffering. Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest… to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey).

Oh, also you collect video game cartridges and tumors! if that does anything for ya.

Features:
600+ levels!

12+ explorable chapters!

20+ collectible and fully playable mini game cartridges! (each with their own tiny achievements!)

80+ achievements that will make you feel good about yourself

100s of collectible little squishy tumors!

loads of hidden extras and endings that you will probably see someone else find before you do!

and stress!

Super Bomberman R is Konami’s first game for Switch. The company has to be happy with its performance, as over 500,000 copies were shipped by the end of April.

Konami could choose to further support the system in the future. Speaking with Miketendo64, European brand manager Richard Jones noted that “there is lots of internal discussions going on within Konami regarding what games we can bring to the Nintendo Switch”. He also spoke about Castlevania in the same response, acknowledging the demand for a new game in the series.

System: Switch
Release date: May 23, 2017
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher NIS America

Since its initial launch in 2003, Disgaea has been a flagship series for Nippon Ichi Software – even using Prinny as a mascot – and continues to be nearly 15 years later, having multiple spinoffs and branching off into other mediums such as anime adaptations and manga. What’s made the franchise so great and successful over the years is that not only has it touched multiple platforms on both console and handhelds, but it’s had fun and engaging gameplay that goes beyond the typical layout and flow of a strategy RPG, bringing along a great cast of characters, settings, art, and music to boost. Now Disgaea 5 Complete is making the series’ return to Nintendo consoles on the Switch for the first time since Disgaea DS back in 2008, and packs in all DLC from the original release. Despite the game itself being nearly two years old at this point, it offers those who have held out or simply never jumped into a Disgaea game before a chance to give it a shot. And even though Disgaea isn’t always associated with Nintendo, Disgaea 5 Complete feels comfortable and right at home on Switch, giving RPG and SRPG enthusiasts alike a great new title to get their hands on and delve into.
