Lots of these are also coming out in the West, too, and we’ve even got a date for one or two of them. Enjoy!

SaGa Emerald and new Demon Slayer tag along too.
We are rapidly closing in on the release date of Rabbit & Bear Studios’ Suikoden spiritual successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Set to land on Switch on 23rd April, this upcoming RPG dazzled us when we went hands-on with it last month and we have been excited to see more ever since.
