Meridiem has released a new details on the physical “Limited Edition” release for Neon Blood and announced a Q4 2024 launch window for this neo-noir cyberpunk title.

Neon Blood is a neo-noir cyberpunk RPG/Graphic Adventure with a 2.5D aesthetic which combines 2D pixel art sprites with 3D-modeled environments. The game features a variety of puzzles, classic turn-based combat, and precise Quick Time Events. Neon Blood is developed by ChaoticBrain Studios and published by Meridiem.

Meridiem will handle the design and manufacture of the boxed edition of Neon Blood, which will be available in specialist retail stores for Nintendo Switch across Europe in Q4 2024. The boxed Limited Edition of Neon Blood for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch includes a metallic texture cover, an art book, a printed city guide, and a downloadable soundtrack.

In the year 2053, after World War III, humanity has been reduced to a single macropolis, Viridis, composed of two cities: the luxurious Bright City and the dystopian Blind City. Axel McCoin, a detective from Blind City, driven by his ideals, rebels against the injustices caused by the social separation between the two cities and the general social inequalities, becoming a symbol of a revolution. In his adventure, Axel will encounter powerful allies who will aid him in his quest, as well as enemies who will stand in his way, such as Ruby Emerald, who will do everything possible to thwart Axel’s plans.

Descend into darkness and brave the depths of a forgotten kingdom in Hollow Knight, an atmospheric action-adventure for Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch.

From June 6th to 12th, 2024, Nintendo Switch Online members can download and try the full version of Hollow Knight at no additional cost.

Buried far beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth sleeps Hallownest, a once-great civilisation now fallen to rack and ruin. Explorers and thieves are drawn below the surface in search of riches, glory and answers to old secrets, but amongst these plundered halls now roam tainted creatures and bizarre beasts, corrupted by a sweet, sickly poison that seeps through the soil.

As the eponymous traveller Hollow Knight, journey deep down into the vast labyrinth of caves, corridors and ruined cities that make up this eerie, decaying dominion. Scattered throughout the soil lie towns and settlements home to a cast of weird and intriguing characters, while riddles and treasures guarded by vicious creatures await those who venture off the beaten path and investigate every creak and crevice.

If you decide to purchase the game during or after this offer, you’ll keep all save data, so you won’t have to worry about losing your progress.

Publisher Square Enix has announced that the Octopath Traveler series has sold over four million copies worldwide since the launch of the first game in 2018. That four million number comes from the series’ total worldwide shipments and downloads as of June 2023. This includes sales of both games on all platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.

This milestone was shared in a press release today, as part of the announcement of both Octopath Traveler games being available on Playstation, as well as Steam and XBox Game Pass. In addition, a bundle of both games was just unveiled for the Switch eShop.

Calling all seaworthy explorers! Bohemia Interactive is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition, which will be available exclusively for digital download on the Nintendo Switch on June 20th worldwide. This release marks Bohemia Interactive’s second game on the Nintendo Switch platform, following the previous success of Vigor.

Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition (priced at $24.99 USD/€24.99 EUR) is the ultimate creative open-world adventure game. Prepare to be immersed in an enchanting, low-poly universe, optimized to deliver a seamless gaming experience on the Nintendo Switch console. The game features core gameplay mechanics focused on exploration, sailing, crafting, building, and light survival elements. This combination of mechanics offers a unique and engaging experience for players of all ages.

On their own fully customizable ship, players will traverse six distinct regions, each filled with unique fauna, flora, and random encounters that keep the adventure fresh and exciting. Ylands empowers players to make use of thousands of items to craft and build with, progressing through a comprehensive tech tree that adds depth and variety to the gameplay. The game gently onboards players by recruiting them to the Classy Adventurers Guild, where they embark on an incredible journey, armed with their trusty handbook, and sail towards endless adventures.

What makes the Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition version of the game unique, is that it will be available as a single-player offline game, which offers the popular Adventure and Creative game modes to cater to different play styles.

Perhaps better known for their genre-defining hits Arma and DayZ, Bohemia Interactive has been redeveloping Ylands to ensure players have a fantastic experience whether they are playing at home or on the go, on their TV screens or via handheld with the following changes worth highlighting:

Play Ylands Offline For The First Time

Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition will be able to be played fully offline only, which is a first for this series. After download and initial launch, players don’t need an active internet connection to play the game. All player game worlds, creations and progress is stored locally which ensures smooth uninterrupted sailing, wherever they choose to play.

Buy Once, Play Forever

While Ylands on PC is a free-to-play title Bohemia Interactive has elected for a simpler pay upfront premium model for Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition. This, in combination with its offline nature, means there are no pay-to-progress mechanics, less of a need to grind in order to accumulate resources and no monetisation pushes. All planned updates for Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition will always be included for no additional cost with the option to purchase optional cosmetic DLC packages also supported.

Optimised Controls and UI with Stable Framerate

Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition has been optimised to take full advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware, boasts a stable framerate and a user interface that has been designed with both TV and handheld play in mind.

Safe Single Player For All Ages

Due to its offline structure, Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition is a 100% safe gaming environment for younger players with zero microtransaction prompts and no risk of negative interactions with other players. There is no gore or graphic violence in the game, which makes it a perfect experience for younger players.

Adventure and Creative Modes

Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition is an experience that supports and encourages creative development and thinking at every stage. There are virtually unlimited building opportunities available to the player; both in the more story-centric Adventure mode and the sandbox-orientated Creative mode. If players don’t wish to create from the ground-up it will also be possible to purchase different types of buildings, ships and even pets via the Nintendo eShop. With the full release scheduled for next month (June), excited adventurers can now add Ylands: Nintendo Switch™ Edition to their wishlist on the Nintendo eShop. This is the perfect opportunity to prepare for an engaging and creative adventure where your skills in exploration, crafting, and survival will be put to the test in a beautiful and enchanting world.

Chief among the goodies in the Calamity Edition is the official art book, with all its wonderfully grotesque and imaginatively bizarre art. Led by Francine Bridge and the Slave Zero X art team and heavily Inspired by H.R. Giger & Anno’s Evangelion, the team created a new take on a dystopian savage future, biomecha artforms, and nubile — yet powerful — characters from all levels of society. The art book is a 150-page love story that visually builds the world sketch by sketch, setting the foundation for the game design — and imagination beyond.

Additionally, Ziggurat partnered with Andy Lanning and Ant Williams, two Marvel and DC Comics legends who’ve worked on properties such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman, for an official comic miniseries for Slave Zero X. Included in the Calamity Edition, the miniseries depicts the backstory of several major characters from the game, all set in a dystopian biopunk setting. These comics are available in the Calamity Edition of Slave Zero X and in the Digital Deluxe version on PC.

Slave Zero X is available to purchase from these retailers at USD $29.99 for the Standard Edition and USD $49.99 for the Calamity Edition.
