February 2020

After making its way through Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter in early 2017, Laughing Machines' Undungeon is gearing up for a 2020 release. Laughing Machines and publisher tinyBuild today released a gameplay trailer that shows off combat and some of the RPG systems for this stunning hand-drawn pixel-art game.

In Undungeon, players suit up as one of seven Heralds, each coming from a different world destroyed by something called the Shift. The Heralds explore procedurally generated maps that are based on multiversal ideas, meaning you may visit the same place but it could be a little different the next time through. Their goal is to heal a world that has suffered a cataclysm.

Undungeon is described by Laughing Machines as an action game with roguelike and old-school RPG styles. The team has drawn inspiration from games like FTL: Faster Than Light, Hyper Light Drifter, and Nuclear Throne for this quest-driven adventure. Right now, Laughing Machines is targeting PC as the sole platform with a release in the fourth quarter of 2020.

On this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, I am joined by Dan Tack, Matt Miller, and Leo Vader to discuss the latest game releases, including Apex Legends Season 4, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, Zombie Army 4: Dead War, and Warcraft III: Reforged. After we handle some hot topics, we jump into the always entertaining and enlightening community emails. Alex Stadnik is this week's super producer.

Thanks for listening! Please make sure to leave feedback below, share the episode if you enjoyed it, and follow me @therealandymc to let me know what you think. 

You can watch the video above, subscribe and listen to the audio on iTunes or Google Play, listen on SoundCloud, stream it on Spotify, or download the MP3 at the bottom of the page. Also, be sure to send your questions to podcast@gameinformer.com for a chance to have them answered on the show.

Warcraft III is one of the best games of all time; Blizzard’s genre-transcending work shaped both the future of the company and the greater industry landscape forever. On the other hand, Warcraft III: Reforged is an uninspired remaster that lacks Blizzard’s signature polish and panache. Almost every aspect of this remaster drags the source down instead of lifting it up.

Developer Dead Mage and publisher 11 bit studios today released the first free update for Children of Morta for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Dubbed the "Shrine of Challenge," this update introduces a Hard mode with increased enemy damage and health. Players that take on these foes will gain larger experience point rewards.

The update also introduces two new enemies called the Dark Blade and Mech Constructor. As you journey through dungeons, you'll stumble upon 18 new items (split into divine relics, graces, and charms), including one that drops boulders on enemies, and another that electrifies them with lightning. The update is rounded out with updated UI and HUD options and balance tweaks for Normal mode.

I recently reviewed Children of Morta, giving it a score of 9 out of 10, saying that it "succeeds in story, combat, leveling, and the bond formed in a family." Down the road, Dead Mage is releasing additional updates that add New Game+, another playable character, online cooperative play, Endless mode, and a expansion chapter set in the Uncharted Lands. All of these updates will be free except for the expansion chapter.

Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet is just a day away from its launch on Friday, February 7. The Ubisoft and Apple TV+ sitcom comes from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. The comedy tackles the challenges of making games by taking us inside a fictional game development studio and showcasing the issues the characters face in its day-to-day operations. Expect big personalities to clash, as the team desperately tries to keep their successful MMORPG interesting and profitable. Ahead of the show’s debut, we chatted with some of the creators and executive producers (McElhenney, Ganz, and David Hornsby) to see what went into making it. 

The Sega Ages collection on Switch has delivered terrific and enhanced ports several Sega classics. From Virtua Racing to Space Harrier, Switch owners have enjoyed new features and modernizations both great and small. Now, Sega has announced Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Puyo Puyo 2 are joining the Sega Ages roster next week.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is known by many as the best game in the long-running Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Much like the Sonic 1 Sega Ages release, this version adds the drop dash move that debuted in Sonic Mania, but this release. Super Sonic Mode allows you to play as Super Sonic from the start of the game, while a new Time Trial mode with online rankings lets you put your skills to the test against the best in the world.

In 1994, if you attached your Sonic 2 Genesis cartridge to your copy of Sonic & Knuckles, it allowed you to play through the entirety of Sonic 2 as Knuckles the Echidna. Sonic & Knuckles continues to be conspicuously absent from any modern-platform Genesis collections put out by Sega, so the company has baked in that functionality with the Sega Ages version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 – no copy of Sonic & Knuckles required.

Gears of War series producer Rod Fergusson has announced that he is leaving Gears of War development studio The Coalition to oversee Diablo at Blizzard next month.

Gears 5 was released last year and Blizzard is working on Diablo IV (no release date announced), so the time is certainly right for Fergusson to make the transition.

Fergusson was a part of the Gears franchise since its beginning at Epic Games in 2006, and continued his leadership with Gears when Microsoft bought the IP in 2014 and started The Coalition in Vancouver, Canada (formerly Black Tusk and other iterations) to handle the franchise.

Starting in March, I will join Blizzard to oversee the Diablo franchise. Leaving is bittersweet as I love our Gears family, the fans, and everyone at The Coalition and Xbox. Thank you, it has been an honor and a privilege to work with you all. pic.twitter.com/0FuO3RFYSQ

In today's NGT, Dan Tack takes Leo and me on a dangerous expedition in Curse of the Dead Gods. The dungeon crawler/roguelike is coming soon to early access, and the version Tack plays hasn't been completely tuned and balanced. That's all to say that he dies. But he does it for you!

In the finished game, players will be able to carry over small elements of their progression between runs, which should help alleviate some of the difficulty. Even in its early form, you can get a nice sense of what Passtech is going for, however. Traps! Cool weapons! ...Corruption? It's all here and more!

Curse of the Dead Gods is coming to early access on PC soon - you can check out the new trailer below!

February 27 is Pokémon Day, which just happens to be the date that Pokémon Red and Green lauched in Japan in 1996. You can start celebrating right now by casting your vote for your favorite Pokémon of all time. If you type "Pokemon vote" into Google, you'll be taken to a poll where you can select your favorite Pokémon based on the region they are from. You can vote until February 14, at 5:59 a.m. PT. The winning entries will be listed on Pokémon's official website.

On February 25, Pokémon Go is getting a head start on the anniversary with Armored Mewtwo returning to legendary raids. This highly coveted catch is coming back as a tie-in to the global premiere of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution, the new Netflix animated movie. Go players will also find special clones of Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard appearing in the wild, and a clone of Pikachu can also photobomb you when you take a picture of one of your critters.

Best of all, Sword and Shield players will learn about a new mythical Pokémon on February 27. The Pokémon Company International isn't giving any details as to what this mythical Pokémon will be or when it will actually hit the game, but we'll likely learn these answers in a few weeks. On the same day, Sword and Shield will debut new Max Raid Battles featuring Milcery. If you click the trailer below, you can see another addition: Gigantamax Toxtricity with the G-Max Stun Shock ability.

Take-Two Interactive Software recently announced that Dan Houser, vice president of creative at Rockstar Games, will soon be leaving the company. 

According to the announcement, Houser took an extended break starting in the spring of 2019, but his last official day at the studio will be on March 11 of this year. 

We reached out to Take-Two for a statement, which confirmed that "Sam Houser’s role with Rockstar Games, which he founded in 1998, remains unchanged." Sam Houser is Dan's brother.

Dan Houser is one of the co-founders of Rockstar Games and was instrumental in its success developing franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. We wish him the best in his future endeavors. Only time will tell if this change affects the future of Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive.

It was one year ago today when Respawn shadow dropped its take on the battle royale and changed the space forever. To celebrate, Leo Vader, Jeff Cork, and I are dropping into Apex Legends Season 4 and testing out the game's new playable character, map, and weaponry. We may even mess around and play some Titanfall 2, who knows?

We went live earlier, but if you want to catch up on the stream, be sure to watch the archive above. Enjoying the streams? You can subscribe over on YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, Twitter, or Facebook to get notified when we go live in the future! Thanks for watching!

Fallout 76 continues to truck along, and Bethesda isn't wavering in its support. Since launching on November 14, 2018, Fallout 76 has received a number of big updates; some have been welcomed with open arms, others have not.

On April 7, players who are still wandering Appalachia's wilds can look forward to Wastelanders, the largest free update to date. Rolling out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC (including Steam), this update brings NPCs to the mix. If you felt that Appalachia was a little too barren, or just didn't like talking with other players, you can now converse with the NPCs who will be littered across the world. Many of these fully voiced denizens are tied to a new questline that leads to new enemies and weapons.

As you get to know Appalachia's residents, dialogue trees will determine what happens next. Yes, choice is coming back to Fallout. The decisions you make in these conversations will affect your standing with specific factions.

While the core Wastelanders update is free, Bethesda is also offering two Faction-themed content bundles that hold exclusive C.A.M.P. items and cosmetics – one for Raiders and another for Settlers. No price has been given for these bundles just yet. You can find out out more details on Bethesda's official blog.

Nvidia may be looking to compete with Google Stadia and Microsoft’s Project xCloud. The company just announced that its video game streaming service, GeForce Now, is exiting beta and is free for all users – with a few caveats.

If you’re not familiar with GeForce Now, this streaming service allows users to stream PC games to laptops, Macs, Nvidia Shields, and other Android devices. Over 1,000 games are already on the service, including Fortnite, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Users can also migrate their pre-existing purchases over to Nvidia’s service – meaning if you bought a game through another online store such as Steam, and that game is also on GeForce Now, you’ll be able to stream that game without an additional purchase.

Users can stream with GeForce Now starting today for free, but free users will only be able to play for one hour before having to log off and start a new session. You can start as many sessions a day as you like, but you have to log off and log back in after an hour. Nvidia says this is necessary for providing the best service for paid users.

The launch of Warcraft III: Reforged hasn't been a smooth one, with myriad issues ranging from animations, assets, lighting, bugs, multiplayer features, and more. According to a Reddit thread, users are able to apply for an immediate refund on the title, with some refunds being processed almost instantly. We've reached out to Blizzard regarding refund availability and will update this post should we get a response.

Update 11:00 AM CT: A Blizzard representative has confirmed that refunds are available.

Blizzard has also responded to the launch in general with a post in the official forums, which you can check out here.

If you're unhappy with any issues with the game, you can try using this link to get a refund. Our review for the title should be hitting within the next few days.

During an investor discussion in Japan, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said Switch will remain the company's focus for years to come, even with new competition in the market. This news comes from a question and answer session that was translated by Video Games Chronicle (VGC).

“We believe that the Nintendo Switch business is now in its fourth year and is just in the middle of its life cycle," Furukawa said. "Rather than just the next year, I think about things in terms of what to do the following year and the year after that." He also added, "We do not believe that the business trends of other companies will have a significant impact on our business."

He's referencing Sony introducing PlayStation 5, Microsoft its new Xbox, and perhaps even other players like Google with Stadia. The Switch has been red-hot since launch, finding success as a unique hybrid that allows players to game on a TV or on the go, and with strong software coming from Nintendo's first-party efforts and impressive third-party support.

For a long, long time, PlayStation fans from all over the world have gathered on the official community forums to discuss the platform they loved. Unfortunately, this is going to end soon.

With a post by PlyStation Support representative Alkaiser-One (spotted by YouTube user 5ypher, via ChrashLanded), Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that the official forums will be closing down.

The community discussion environment will remain on life support until February 27, when the plug will officially be plugged.

The post does not offer explanations of any sorts, being only a couple of lines long, but encouraging fans to instead follow the official PlayStation Blog, Twitter, and Instagram.

“Beginning 27 February, the PlayStation.com forums will no longer be available. We invite you to continue the conversation via PlayStation.Blog, Twitter, and Instagram.”

This may be a sign of times in which older-fashioned forums have lost popularity to newer forms of social media pretty much like newsgroups were replaced by forums back in the day, but it’s certainly sad to see, and the end of an era for the PlayStation community.

Recently, Sony opened the registration for a newsletter dedicated to the upcoming PS5, even if it isn’t “quite ready” to share more details.

Today Nvidia and CD Projekt RED posted an interaction on Twitter that certainly appears to be the tease of an upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 collaboration.

The official Twitter account of the game tweeted at Nvidia’s GeForce account hinting to the possibility, which initially got a doubtful emoji, followed by a blurry picture of a GPU with a yellow and black chassis.

You can check the exchange out below.

Today during the Sydney event of the Gran Turismo Sport World Tour 2020, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Polyphony Digital revealed a new car for the PS4 racing simulator.

The new car is the Le Mans GT1 Aston Martin DBR9, which debuted in real racing in 2005. 

It’s certainly a racing classic, and it was used during one of the semi-finals of the Nations Cup. 

You can watch how it races just below, while we wait for it to be added to the game.

Incidentally, the race was won by Jonathan Wong from Hong Kong. The overall World Tour event was won by Takeru Miyazono from Japan with an absolutely brilliant win at the very last second ahead of Cody Nikola Latkovski. Wong took third place at the end.

 If you’d like to see more of the game, you can enjoy the first look at the recently-revealed Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo.

Today Bandai Namco Entertainment released a brand new TV commercial of the upcoming Musou-style game One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.

As previous comercials, it focuses on one of the anime/manga arcs covered by the game, and specifically on the Whole Cake Island. The format is always the same, with the narrator reminding the viewer of “that emotional episode.”

You can check it out below.

Paradox will soon release a brand new DLC for its World War II grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, titled La Resistance, and today they released a new trailer.

We take a look at Operations, which you could consider the heart of the expansion, as it lets you simulate support to resistance and sabotage of enemy installations like factories and so forth. 

It certainly appears to add another complexity layer to the game, and it’ll be interesting to see how it’ll affect the balance.

You can check out the video below.

f you’re unfamiliar with the DLC, which was announced at PDXCon, you can check out a brief description below, directly from Steam. 

You can also watch another vidoe focusing on the new Spanish focus tree.

Media Molecule’s Dreams is getting quite popular among gamers who love to be creative, but the perspective of making your own stuff can be a little daunting for some.

In order to explain the basics of this game-meets-creative-suite, the developers released a series of tutorial videos to help us anderstand how things work.

By watching the videos below you can find out useful info from remixing creations to sharing what you create with others.

Most of it is quite basic, but it can help you get started 

Today, during the Six Invitational 2020 tournament, Ubisoft revealed the gameplay of the two new operators that will join the roster of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege with Operation Void Edge.

We get to see Iana from the Netherlands and Oryx from Jordan, and their approaches to battle couldn’t be more different even beyond the fact that the former is an attacker and the latter is a defender.

Oryx isn’t exactly the subtle type. This sleeveless brawny dude can literally smash through walls (at the price of a bit of health) and jump up through ceiling hatches after destroying them.

On the other hand, Iana is the opposite. Using her Gemini replicator gadget she can literally generate a hologram of herself that she can control to confuse enemies and scout for ambushes.

Of course, it’s not actually physical, so she can’t use it to hurt enemies, but I’m sure you can see plenty of utility for this tool.

The hologram disappears when hit by a simple bullet and by a handful gadget. On top of that, she can’t move while she’s using it.

You can check out the video below, also featuring a rework to the Oregon map and an explanation of changes to general gameplay.

As a bonus, we also get to take a look at the new Caveira Elite Skin.

With the Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101: Remastered in full Swing, PlatinumGames published a new video starring executive producer Atsushi Inaba.

Inaba-san talks about his role as producer and then goes on to mention what the Kickstarter campaign means for PlatinumGames, which goes beyond simple monetary help.

You can check out the full video below.

“If we’re lucky enough to get a lot of support with this campaign, I feel like PlatinumGames will be able to reinvent itself in more than a few ways.

The fans’ voices will make this company stronger. The fans’ voices will allow us to release more original games.

I think it’ll be a very healthy way for us to grow. Money is important of course, but having people there to cheer us on is far more important to us.”

At the moment of this writing, the game’s Kickstarter campaign is sitting on $1630042, having passed several stretch goals following its announcement on February 3.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered brings back PlatinumGames’ former Wii U-exclusive action game from 2013 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC via Steam.

Bandai Namco released two new screenshots of its upcoming MMORPG Blue Protocol.

The screenshots have been shared on Twitter (sources: 1, 2) with the promise of more coming during the closed beta application period which will end on March 2.

Incidentally, if you want to enter, you can do so here.

We get to see a battle against monsters, and the developers stress how dynamic the scene is as the enemies approach.

The second screenshots showcase gestures, which are rather lovely thanks to the characters expressions.

You can check them out below.

For the last few decades, PlayStation has been one of the most influential brands in the world, even outside of gaming. From award-winning exclusive games to breakthrough hardware developments, it is safe to say that the consoles have been a success.

With that success, there’s bound to be a lot of obscure and compelling facts that even the most loyal fanboys don’t even know.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of 15 questions that will test the limits of your PlayStation knowledge.

Are you a true fanboy? Let’s find out!

Microsoft and Undead Labs’ open world survival game State of Decay 2 is receiving a free upgrade with new improvements and more content with the Juggernaut Edition.

State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition will include a new open world map for players to explore called Providence Ridge, a rugged logging town, alongside “a new category of heavy melee weapons that reward player skill and timing,” according to the announcement post.

The new version of the game will feature graphical and audio improvements, an improved control scheme with dodge and stealth split into separate commands, mission and gameplay bug fixes, and a better “post-tutorial experience.”

The Juggernaut Edition also includes all three post-launch add-ons: Daybreak Pack, Independence Pack, and the story-based Heartland add-on.

The upgrade will be free for all existing players and Xbox Game Pass members when it launches on March 13, and Undead Labs said those who already own the add-ons or the Ultimate Edition will receive “exclusive in-game gifts” by logging into the game after the upgrade’s release.

State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition will also be launching for Steam on the same date for $29.99, and will feature cross-network play with the Windows 10 and Xbox One versions.

It’s that time of the month again, which means that the NPD released its sales charts about the U.S. gaming market related to December 2019.

Once more analyst Mat Piscatella delivers the analysis and charts for the month.

As usual, the Switch is at the top of hardware sales, while we finally have an upset in the software field.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot by Bandai Namco has finally managed to dethrone Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from the top of the charts, sending it down to the second place.

The latest Call of Duty dominated the top of the charts for three months straight. 

This is the third-best launch month performance for a Dragon Ball game, behind Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai all the way back in 2002.

That being said, Kakarot marks the first debut at the top of the chart since FighterZ was beaten by Monster Hunter: World.

Incidentally, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was at the top of both PS4 and Xbox One sales, while Super Smash Bros. Ultimate topped sales on Switch.

Below you can check out the relevant charts and the full video presentation.

Since today is Valentine’s Day, it’s not surprising that waifu-driven games are celebrating and Azur Lane is no exception.

Today we get a fairly substantial video showcasing a beautiful 3D model of Sirius as she talks to the viewer and wishes us a happy Valentine’s Day. 

We also get several mentions of other shipgirls like Newcastle, Abukuma and the recent Royal Maid newcomer Dido.

Incidentally, this 3D model was created for Comiket, but today we get to take a much more extensive look.

You can watch the full video below.

If you’re unfamiliar with Azur Lane, it’s is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.

If you’d like to learn more about it, you can read our recent interview with Yostar’s director of operations.

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has been releasing plenty of new content in the game’s alpha and showing even more in weekly videos.

This week we get to see plenty of interesting goodies, starting with director Chris Roberts sitting down with Todd Papy, Sean Tracy, and Tony Zurovec, as they discuss their plans for 2020.

We then get a video showcasing the team working on the vehicle experience, more assets created for the upcoming prison gameplay coming next month in alpha 3.9, geology and harvestable assets for planets, holograms, re-entry effects, the Cutlass Blue, the Carrack and even early work on the Hercules Starlifter. 

A third video focuses on concept design, showcasing the Starr Runner and the Carrack. 

You can check them all out below.

It’s always interesting to take a look at the past of popular game developers, and today we get a glimpse into the memories of Tekken Director and Chief Producer Katsuhiro Harada.

Today Harada-san took to Twitter to showcase a reupload of an extremely old Flash video made sixteen years ago in the popular MMORPG EverQuest. Yes, the original one.

You can check the tweet below and the full video embedded at the bottom of the post.

Harada-san also commented todayon the YouTube video himself with the nickname “mirage1999,” revealing that he was the druid Amie, leader of Guild Mirage.  

“I was the leader of Guild Mirage, the author of this original Flash Movie, and the owner of the Mirage web site (the player name at that time was Amie). Of course, I still own the original Flash data. At the time I was anonymous, but in fact, and still as Director / Chief Producer for series such as TEKKEN and SoulCalibur.

Following its “bachelorettes” trailer released earlier today, Xseed Games released another trailer of Rune Factory 4 Special, this time around focusing on the other side.

This time around, we get to see the handsome “bachelors” of the game to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Those include Arthur, Leon, Vishnal, Kiel, Dylas, and Doug.

You can check them out below and see if you find your ideal husbando among the bunch.

Rune Factory 4 Special will launch in the west in just a few days, on February 25, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

It’s the remaster of a 3DS game that originally hit the shelves in Japan in 2012 and then in the west between 2013 and 2014. It was still the time when releases in North America and Europe of niche Japanese games could be over one year apart.

If you’d like to see more, you can enjoy the opening cutscene and tons of gameplay. 

Today Xseed Games is celebrating Valentine’s Day with a brand new trailer of Rune Factory 4 Special.

The trailer focuses on the “bachelorettes” that you can meet in the upcoming game.

We get to see Forte, Margaret, Clorica, Amber, Dolce, and Xiao Pai.

You can check out the trailer below. 

Rune Factory 4 Special will release in the west in just a few days, on February 25, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

It’s the remaster of a 3DS game originally released in 2012. If you’d like to see more, you can enjoy the opening cutscene and tons of gameplay. 

We also already know that Rune Factory 5 is coming this year also for Nintendo Switch, but Marvelous has been tight-lipped about it.

We do know that save data from Rune Factory 4 Special will net you bonuses in the new game, but for now the well of information about the new game is most definitely on the dry side.

The Pokemon Company has announced a brand-new collaboration with Funko to bring several Eevee figures into the Pokemon Center online store. The new series of nine figures celebrates Eevee and its multiple evolutions.

The first product in the collaboration is this adorable Eevee figure that you can see down below that features the Pokemon in a little field of grass. Starting on Feb. 18, you’ll be able to purchase it from the Pokemon Center for just $14.99.

Every month, until October 2020, there will be a new Eevee evolution figure available for purchase; you can see those release windows down below:

• Vaporeon (expected to launch in March 2020)
• Sylveon (expected to launch in April 2020)
• Glaceon (expected to launch in May 2020)
• Flareon (expected to launch in June 2020)
• Espeon (expected to launch in July 2020)
• Jolteon (expected to launch in August 2020)
• Leafeon (expected to launch in September 2020)
• Umbreon (expected to launch in October 2020)

Here are some more cute photos of the first Eevee Funko figure down below:

Today Muv-Luv creator Kouki Yoshimune hosted âge’s weekly livestream, and he detailed another image board of the upcoming Alternative sequel Muv-Luv: Integrate.

The image board is the one you see above (you can find a version that can be enlarged below), featuring a few well-known heroines from various Muv-Luv games. 

Turns out that my analysis of the same image from a few months ago was correct, but of course, Yoshimune-san provided a lot more details (reported by Famitsu). As usual, this shows just how much thought he puts into every little detail of his games.

Fire Emblem has had a long and hard journey since its release back in 1990. The series has had many ups and downs and was on the brink of extinction before Fire Emblem Awakening released back in 2012. Since then, Fire Emblem has been on a steady increase in terms of popularity, sales, and recognition. This has been ever so apparent with the success of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the newest installment of the franchise on the Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t experienced this wonderful series, right now is the perfect time to do so for many reasons.
