Konami confirms.

The studios behind the upcoming release Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse have made a name for themselves with releases such as Dead Cells and The Rogue Prince of Persia, but this new title based on Konami’s famous IP won’t be the same type of game.

Speaking to The Verge, Konami’s head of communications for the Americas has reiterated this game is a “2D action-exploration” title, further stating it’s “not a roguelike or roguelite game”. Here’s the full exchange:

Well it’s about time.

Ubisoft has finally acknowledged the terminally leaked remake/remaster of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, appropriately subtitled ‘Resynced‘.

In a franchise update, Head of Content Jean Guesdon provided news on projects Hexe and Invictus, the former being a proper narrative driven mainline entry in the series, and the latter a PvP title from the For Honor team at Ubisoft Montreal. It sounds like Hexe is still quite a way off, with the team looking to “be quiet for a while longer”.

Star power?

Though it seems Capcom only recently remembered that they can make a new Mega Man game, there was once a time where the Blue Bomber was so prevalent that many fans were suffering from some series burnout. In the span of about five years, we were getting hosed with new entries in the Classic, X, ZX, and Battle Network series, and the Mega Man Star Force series came into the picture in the middle of this period.

Now that all but that last one have received successful Legacy Collections on modern platforms, it was only a matter of time before Capcom would give Geo Stelar another shot at the spotlight after what many saw as a truncated and early finish to his adventures.

Performing with Grace.

Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Requiem has already sold over 5 million copies since its release on 27th February 2026 (thanks, Eurogamer). Yeah, that’s 5 million in less than a week, folks.

We’re not sure what the platform split is for this running total, but with the combined release of the standalone game and the Generation Pack bundle, we imagine the Switch 2 has seen its fair share of sales. Regardless, this is a stellar start for the game, and a true indication that audience appetite for highly curated, single-player experiences is still extremely high.

“Now pardon us as we retreat back into our vault”.

Before the release of Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition on the Switch 2, we heard some rumours about more Fallout games being revived. Ever since then, vault dwellers online have been searching for clues.

The Unown lexicon.

“Enemy DUGTRIO used Fissure. It’s super effective!”

I’m six years old, and I’m staring at Pokémon Yellow on my Game Boy Color screen, dumbfounded. This was my first time fighting Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, and he managed to one-shot my Blastoise with a move — a word — I’d never seen before. Fissure? What’s that, a fish of some sort?

TPC used Remember! It’s super effective!

Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen is a difficult game to evaluate. Re-released on the Nintendo Switch eShop to celebrate Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, this 22-year-old Game Boy Advance remake of the original Pokémon Red & Blue feels like a lacklustre way to celebrate one of the largest media franchises known to man. On the other hand, I’m just happy to have a more convenient way to experience this nostalgic romp through Kanto again, catching personal favourites like Cubone along the way.

Making matters more difficult, FireRed & LeafGreen come as a separate purchase — $19.99 USD / £16.99 — rather than part of the GBA Nintendo Classics emulator which adds suspend saves and filters to many classic titles which are ‘free’ for NSO Expansion Pack subscribers.

Roguelink.

Imagine if, after a hard day’s work dispatching Bokoblins, Link returned home and ran a little shop. That was the proposition put forward by Digital Sun and 11 Bit Studios back in 2018’s Moonlighter, and its sequel promises to be more of the same.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault launched on other platforms at the end of last year, and the publisher today announced that it’ll be making its way to Switch 2 at some point in 2026.
