by

Okay, so this week in Japan, two games really stood out to me. First, there’s Ys X: Proud Nordics, which is coming to the PS5 – and thankfully, we in the West are getting it on Switch 2 and PC too! The other one I’m excited about is PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid’s Curse, and it’s going to be available on Switch, PC, iOS, and Android. Definitely keeping an eye on both of these!

Okay, so this week’s looking pretty good for new games! I’m hyped for Avowed on PS5, and it sounds like Death Match Love Comedy! is coming to a ton of platforms – Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC. Plus, they’re releasing Gear.Club Unlimited 3 for the new Switch 2, which is awesome!
