This fun yet sweat-inducing game is scheduled to be released on November 12, 2020, and if you head on over to the eShop, you can add it to your wishlist right now. Not only will it be available on the Switch though, but you can play it on other gaming consoles such as the PlayStation, Xbox, and Stadia.

Currently, there is no news as to whether or not it will be released on the Wii and Wii U. Understandably, some Wii users are sad about it.

Nevertheless, we’re definitely keeping our eyes peeled this November for Just Dance 2021. Who knew exercising could be this fun?

COVID-19 has once again caused another much-anticipated game, Sky: Children of the Light, to be pushed back. Since the start of the pandemic and lockdown, Thatgamecompany has taken every possible measure to ensure the safety of all team members.

Since they are a small indie studio, it’s quite understandable that they would encounter many development challenges while working remotely. On their website, the studio has written down a statement-slash-apology for any disappointment this announcement may have caused.

“The good news is that we’re close to being in the final stretch to deliver Sky to Nintendo Switch players. Unfortunately, the bad news is that due to the remote slowdown of work during COVID and our utmost priority to protect our team’s health, we’ve had to push back Sky’s release on Nintendo Switch by a few months into 2021. In the meantime, we have also decided to hire more staff to help us with this console release as well.

We apologize if we’ve disappointed any fans, as we work remotely to release Sky for Nintendo Switch a few months later than expected.”

Sky: Children of the Light was initially an iOS game, and was only released to Android earlier this year. It became such a popular game that it was even reported that it had over 20 million downloads during its first year alone.

This very wholesome game has you going on adventures to find fallen stars and then restore them via the power of hope. This announcement is understandably disappointing, however, we have to give Thatgamecompany some credit.

They were able to do so much during the lockdown e.g. “released Sky on Android, managed a live game and launched two new adventure seasons.” For now, while we wait for this Switch port to be released, Sky: Children of the Light can be downloaded on both iOS and Android.

League of Legends: How to Acquire Samira’s Emote

2020 has been a great year for League of Legends’ fans, with updates here and there such as a new champion stats feature as well as a rumored new champion, Seraphine. A few days ago, players of the game noticed Samira’s emote, which they initially thought was a Worlds emote.

However, renowned data miner Moobeat confirmed that the emote was, in fact, Samira’s. In order to earn this emote, you will need to do specific challenges in the game. This Rank S emote showcases the champion’s initial on a red rose.

Not everyone was able to receive the emote, though. As such, some players thought that this was only a glitch. However, upon further investigation by League of Legends’ investigative community, they were able to uncover the possible tasks you need to do in order to claim the emote.

There are different ways you can get it, so your options aren’t limited. However, one thing that you must do is join a Summoner’s Rift game. After doing so, Dot Esports states that you can do either of the following:

  • Killing an enemy while having less than 20 percent HP
  • Claiming First Blood or a Shutdown
  • Get a kill after landing every one of your spells

That being said, most players do the third method in order to get their hands on the sought-after emote. Now the question remains: will this unlock Samira as a champion? For previous champions such as Lillia and Seth, players had to go on missions in-game in order to win tokens which could be used to unlock the characters once released.

Basing on this, it’s quite possible that Riot Games will release Samira as a champion in the future. Although, these are all just speculations.

A lot of us are looking forward to the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 movie, even the people over at Xbox. As such, Xbox is currently giving gamers and movie fans alike a chance to win these limited-edition custom Xbox One X console displays.

For the first console display, Xbox created a one-of-a-kind replication of golden armor, along with 24-carat gold leaves. What’s so amazing about this one is the fact that it’s made completely by hand. It has a golden eagle crest on the front, and it features a 3D-printed “WW84” logo on the center.

It doesn’t end there, though — the Wonder Woman Golden Armor Xbox One X Console is going to be auctioned off. All of the proceeds from this will be given to Together for Her, a movement by the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, CARE, and the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

Their purpose is to stand together with women and girls, giving their all-out support towards victims of domestic violence especially during the pandemic. For this display, Xbox is yet to announce further details.

Next up is the Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth Xbox One X Console, which was inspired by the lasso that Wonder Woman uses in the movie. The braided detailing in the lasso looks amazing, and it perfectly lays on the console. A 3D-printed Wonder Woman logo sits in the center, with its very colorful palette.

Xbox is currently hosting a sweepstake for a chance to win this console display. For more information on how to join, you can click here.

Last but not least is the Barbara Minerva Xbox One X Console, which is inspired by Wonder Woman’s archenemy. This is the perfect display for those who are huge fans of villains.

This custom display features a beautiful snakeskin pattern wrapped in faux leopard fur. On the corner, you will find a 3D-printed “WW84” logo as well as silver spikes.

We’re super excited to see Diana in action once again, but we’re more excited about these displays that have left us completely awestruck.

Square Enix Has Removed Denuvo From Trials of Mana, Decreasing File Size

Just recently, we wrote about how Trials of Mana was able to surpass sales expectations. Now, we have more good news about the game: Square Enix has removed Denuvo, lessening the game’s file size in the process.

If you didn’t know, Denuvo is an anti-tamper technology that makes gaming difficult for so many people. For one thing, playing games without an internet connection makes it close to impossible with Denuvo. Not only that, but Denuvo games will need reactivation if you make any hardware changes, or even if you just haven’t played the game in a while.

That being said, there have been constant debates on the internet whether Denuvo is a good or bad thing. Some consider it to be bloatware, while others do not. However, after the new Trials of Mana update wherein Denuvo was removed, the game’s file size was decreased by 544 MB.

It’s also worth noting that when the demo was released on Steam, the game was cracked within a day even when Denuvo was incorporated. This makes you wonder just how well this anti-piracy technology does its job.

Trials of Mana isn’t the first Square Enix game wherein Denuvo was removed, though. The company also decided to take it out from Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2 as well as Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

Square Enix did confirm that they will be launching Marvel’s Avengers Denuvo, though it would be exciting to see when they’ll decide to remove it as well.

Get a Chance to Pre-Order the PS5 by Signing Up At This Website

The hype for the PlayStation 5 has been increasing each month, and gamers worldwide have been taut with excitement to get their hands on this brand-new console. There’s no price point yet, but Sony has recently set up a pre-order page for the PS5.

Not to burst your bubble, though, but you can’t pre-order the console just yet. The pre-order page has you sign up with your PSN ID so that you will be notified right away once pre-orders are available.

Although, from what we can understand, signing up on the site may get you chosen for a chance to pre-order the console before the others who didn’t sign up. The website states:

“There will be a limited quantity of PS5 consoles available for pre-order, so we will be inviting some of our existing consumers to be one of the first to pre-order one from PlayStation.

Pre-order reservations will be taken on a first-come-first-serve basis, so once you get an invite via email, we encourage you to follow instructions and act fast.

If you are interested in receiving an invitation, register below.

If selected, we will contact you via email with instructions and details.”

You might be wondering why they need your PSN ID, though. The answer can be found on their FAQ page. The page states that the selection will be “based on previous interests and PlayStation activities.” This could mean that the more you use your PlayStation, the higher your chances are of being chosen.

In retrospect, this makes sense, since they would want to choose legit fans who would make use of the console, instead of scammers who would simply just resell it online. Since Sony has set up this page, then it would be safe to assume that they will post more information about the PS5 soon, such as the release date and the price.

That being said, if you’re aiming to get your hands on the PS5 as soon as possible, you should definitely sign up. All you have to do is enter your PSN ID – you don’t even have to sign in. After that comes the waiting game. Good luck!

Believe it or not, but Guild of Wars 2 has been around for eight long years and ArenaNet will stop at nothing until the MMORPG is spread throughout the globe. For all these years, Guild Wars 2 has been available only through its own launcher. However, the game will officially be released on Steam later this year.

The full package will be available on Valve’s storefront, including the expansions Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire. Not only that but Guild War 2’s Living Word narrative adventure is included, as well. Unfortunately, those who have existing accounts won’t be able to use it on Steam and vice-versa.

On a brighter note, however, ArenaNet was able to confirm that the world for both the Steam version and the standalone launcher will be shared. This means new players will still be able to experience the existing game.

In a recent press release, Chauncey Gammage, the COO for NCSoft, states:

“Guild Wars 2 has endured for the better part of a decade because of its innovative gameplay, rich storytelling, and passionate fanbase. As the game’s incredible fantasy world prepares to grow once again with the End of Dragons expansion, we are excited to bring this universally acclaimed gaming experience to Steam users around the globe.”

Speaking of expansions, the first look at Guild Wars 2’s third expansion has been revealed. End of Dragons sends you off to an island shrouded in mystery, which has been silent for about 200 years. This expansion is scheduled to be released sometime in 2021 and you can watch the teaser below:

Last but not least, those who own the Path of Fire expansion will be able to unlock a new ability for their Skimmer mounts. This ability will enable the creature’s hidden potential of diving underwater.

Guild Wars 2 will be available on Steam around November, but you can add it to your wishlist today.

It was announced during an unexpected Nintendo Direct that three classic Final Fantasy games will be released on the Nintendo Switch to celebrate the SaGa series’ 30th anniversary. On the Nintendo eShop, Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend will be available for $19.99 on December 15, 2020.

Final Fantasy Legend, otherwise known as SaGa in Japan, was “the first Game Boy RPG to sell over a million units” according to PCMag. Now, in this collection, Square Enix has resurrected the original SaGa trio — Final Fantasy Legend, Final Fantasy Legend II, and Final Fantasy Legend III.

Originally, all three were released on the Game Boy in 1989, 1990, and 1991, respectively. Other games were also released for the SaGa franchise throughout the years e.g. Imperial SaGa Eclipse in 2019.

Since these games will be available on a much newer console, it comes with new features as well, such as a high-speed mode and the ability to adjust screen magnification. If you wish to play the games with an air of nostalgia, you can remove the Joy-Cons and hold the Switch vertically to replicate the Game Boy experience.

Since this is to commemorate the 30th anniversary, Collection of SaGa will also include a lovely anniversary song. If you’re excited to get your hands on this wonderful collection of games, you can pre-purchase it on the Nintendo Switch eShop starting today.

Tetris and Puyo Puyo have once again blended together to create the brilliant Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. This sequel will include not only new puzzles, but a new story mode as well. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 will be released on gaming consoles such as the Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PS4 on December 8, 2020. Meanwhile, a Steam release is scheduled around early 2021.

Most of us know what Tetris is and how it works, since we’ve played it since childhood. However, what’s Puyo Puyo? Well, it’s a pretty similar game to Tetris, but instead of clearing out blocks, you have to match the adorable spheres into four colors.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 allows you to play both games separately if you choose to, but the fun starts when you play both at the same time i.e. you mix the two together. According to Puyo Puyo’s official twitter account, the sequel will also include a Skill Battle mode. This mode features character-based skills that will assist you in winning the match.

Not only that, but the all-familiar single-player Adventure mode makes a comeback, where you will meet both new and old characters. Online play will also be available like before, this time with a free play mode that allows you to play with up to four players at a time.

After the launch, you can except constant content updates from the developers.

The Witcher Is Getting Its Own Mobile AR Game

The Witcher franchise has taken various forms since its original book series by Andrzej Sapkowski. It has a well-received Netflix adaptation, a card game, a table-top roleplaying game, and now, a mobile augmented reality game similar to Pokemon Go is in the making.

On Wednesday, CD Projekt announced The Witcher: Monster Slayer, a location-based AR RPG mobile game that’s free to play on both Android and iOS. It’s developed and published by Spokko, who is also a member of CD Projekt. They released a trailer for the game as well, which you can watch below:

Not much is known about the game so far, but from what we can glean from the trailer, it’s a game that’s very similar to Pokemon Go wherein you walk around with your phone and encounter different monsters. Instead of trying to capture Pokemon, though, you’ll be faced with terrifying creatures that you’ll have to defeat.

CD Projekt also states in their announcement:

“The game, featuring console-grade visuals, challenges you to explore the world around you while tracking, studying, and fighting monsters. You can use time of day and real-life weather conditions to your advantage, but most importantly, always come to the fight prepared! In order to defeat tougher enemies you can brew powerful potions and oils, craft bombs and monster bait as well as upgrade your character’s skills and equipment.”

There’s more to the game than just walking around, though. You will have to do story-driven quests that will take you on adventures throughout your area. There’s no release date yet, but we hope it’s after the pandemic so that we can experience The Witcher: Monster Slayer in its full glory.
