After waiting months since the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 we received a lot of game announcements and new information this week -- including the release date of June 5.

Last week we got the cat-themed ARPG Cat Quest for free from the Epic store, so hopefully you liked that because there's more where that came from, literally.

Along with several other features, today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct gave us a release date for the highly anticipated console: June 5, 2025, with preorders beginning April 8.

For April Fools' the Warcraft team joked that a typo in player housing incorrectly characterized the feature: instead it was player houses, allowing players to literally be houses.

Two Souls-like games release in the same week and you thought I wasn't going to talk about at least one of them?

This week's Epic Games Store free offering is two games, both of which involve a ton of action, a send-up of a popular genre, and a cat protagonist.

If you're already bought in to the concept of one of our most played games of 2024 (and secret productivity lifehack) Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, the new Cozy Kitchen DLC will offer you more of the same, and then some.

Moonshot Games, a studio under the Dreamhaven company banner established by Mike Morhaime, announced Wildgate, a crew-based shooter set in a section of deep space called the Reach.

With the introduction of spring, we have some new releases to talk about this week as well, so let's just jump straight into it.

When Michael Crichton initially wrote Jurassic Park as a modern allegory for the ethical quandary and potential implications of the overreach of science in re-creating extinct creatures, I doubt he thought that 35 years later the prevailing cultural thought would be "sad for them, but I'm built different." Jurassic World Evolution 2 Release Date: November 9, 2021 Game Type: Strategy, Management Sim POV: 3rd person Party: Single player DLC: Includes an upgrade to the base game, the Dominion Biosyn and Dominion Malta expansions, plus multiple smaller DLC packs.
