Dragon Quest Builders 2

Square Enix will release a demo for Dragon Quest Builders 2, the company announced during its “Dragon Quest Builders 2 Extracurricular Lesson @ AEON Mall Makuhari Shintoshin.” A release date for the demo was not announced. 
Speaking during the event, producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto said that since development on the full version of the game has yet to finish, they want to first put their energy into completing it. Once that is done, they will start work on the demo, which they plan to release before the full game launches.
Square Enix also showcased a new area called Occulm Island, which once prospered due to a gold rush, but is now only a desolate desert. Below its grounds are a huge ruins and underground lake. Its inhabitants include:
  • Pero – The bar show girl. She wants to see the mines and bar reconstructed.
  • Carlo – A former blacksmith who stopped working due to the Hargon Order.
  • Massimo – A man who is good at mining, but bad at fighting monsters.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is due out for PlayStation 4 and Switch on December 20 in Japan.
Watch the new Occulm Island footage below (from 27:35 to 52:38).

Amnesia dev wants to bring the series to Switch

The well-received survival series Amnesia may end up on Switch. Speaking with GameSpot, creative director Thomas Grip expressed strong interest in making it happen. The team is currently “looking into it” and Grip “would love to do Switch content.”
Grip stated:
“We’re looking into it. I would love to do Switch content. I grew up with Nintendo being the big platform, so it’s like, ‘Wow, we’re actually doing video games for real now if we can get it on Nintendo!’
And it would just be cool to get it on a handheld as well, because I think that should work for Amnesia and other games as well. We’re looking into it and seeing what can be done. We’re hoping–if everything goes as we hope–we hope we’ll have it [on Switch].”
If you haven’t heard about Amnesia previously, these trailers should give you a good idea as to what it’s about:

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition exceeded Koei Tecmo’s expectations outside Japan

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition
Koei Tecmo published a notice today, announcing that they are raising the income forecast for the second quarter of the current fiscal year. One of the reasons they stated for doing so was that Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition sold much more than they expected it to in the West.
We don’t have any concrete sales numbers for the game’s performance outside Japan, only that it hadn’t yet sold more than a million copies worldwide as of Nintendo’s last financial report on June 30th. Regardless, it seems like the game has been a success for Koei Tecmo and Nintendo.
