Blood, blood, gallons of the stuff.

There’s a moment during Resident Evil Requiem — actually, no, several moments — in which I laid the controller on my lap and just stared at the screen in awe. Over the last decade, the series has reclaimed its throne as the king of the survival horror genre, but Requiem pushes the quality bar higher than ever, presenting an experience that is equal parts fresh and nostalgic. For long-time fans who cut their teeth on the original ‘Raccoon City’ trilogy, this is a love letter that celebrates RE’s origins; one that will have you grinning from ear to ear until the credits roll.

Requiem stars two playable protagonists: FBI agent and ‘scaredy-cat’ (Capcom’s words) Grace Ashcroft and series veteran Leon Kennedy, who’s still busy serving the Division of Security Operations. Together (well, mostly separately), they work to uncover a bunch of mysteries linked to the Umbrella Corporation, with newcomer and excellent antagonist Victor Gideon driving the narrative.

Bank Balance hurt itself in its confusion!

Last week, Amsterdam-based designer JimmyPaul took to London Fashion Week to showcase his new ‘ROAM’ collection, a high-fashion line inspired by the wonderful world of Pokémon. The runway looks inspired a ready-to-wear line of their own by Difuzed, and what do you know, this collaboration is now available to buy from the Pokémon Center website.

Let’s make one thing clear right from the jump, these items ain’t coming cheap. The collection covers a range of products from bags and caps to t-shirts and jackets, and while you’re looking at around £39.99 / $39.99 for the smaller items, the bags and jackets are closer to the £200 mark and beyond.

80 minutes of Mario Wonder and Pokopia.

You might think that we’ve already seen all there is to see about upcoming Switch 2 titles Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park and Pokémon Pokopia, but you’d be mistaken.

Anything Qud happen.

The legends of Caves of Qud stretch back into the ancient times, through mists of lore, to a moment of destiny. That’s right – all the way back to 2007, when American team Freehold Games began development on this ambitious roguelike RPG. After a 17-year journey to version 1.0 in 2024, gathering a devoted PC following, this intimidating, systems-heavy cult classic has rolled a new character on Switch.

The game is set in the post-apocalyptic, science-fantasy land of Qud. It’s populated by factions with either allegiances or animosities, ridden with organisms that either tolerate or seek to devour you, and driven by either rich spirituality or advanced technology. The either/ors are key, because whenever you start a run in Qud, it recalculates the decisions that set the whole scenario going. Your quest, as a new adventurer, is simply to get out there and survive in an exceptionally vivid open world.

Ends Meat.

Despite being announced for Switch back in 2024 and even being given an “early 2026” release window last year, Amazon Games and Glowmade have today announced that the party platformer King of Meat will be shutting up shop before it could make the jump to Nintendo systems.

While the game has now been removed from all storefronts to prevent any new purchases, the King of Meat servers will be sticking around on all currently available platforms (Steam, Xbox Series and PS5) until 9th April, so those with the game already downloaded still have a few weeks to make the most.
