Nintendo dispels rumours of a September release for The Duskbloods, while the UK braces for a Switch 2 price increase.
Today’s Nintendo news revolves around a mix of pricing adjustments, game updates, and rumours concerning anticipated releases. The focal point is the confusion surrounding the release date for the eagerly awaited title, The Duskbloods.
Discrepancies in The Duskbloods Release Date
First up, Nintendo has clarified that the previously reported release date of September 24th for The Duskbloods is inaccurate, as reported by My Nintendo News. This follows a teaser from The Guardian which indicated the game would drop on that date. While a definite release date remains unconfirmed, anticipation is high for the multiplayer epic. Additionally, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator behind the game, shared in an interview with IGN that Nintendo stands as the ideal partner for this project (My Nintendo News).
Switch Price Adjustments
In another notable update, the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to experience a price increase in the UK. Effective from September 1st, the console’s price will rise from £395.99 to £419.99. This £24 uptick is attributed to increased component costs as detailed by My Nintendo News. Consumers planning to purchase the system may wish to act before the price change.
Game Releases and Updates
Several new and updated titles have entered the Nintendo landscape, offering various gaming experiences. Splatoon Raiders and eFootball Kick-Off have both launched for Nintendo Switch 2, promising expanded lore and robust soccer gameplay respectively, as per reviews from Pure Nintendo. Meanwhile, a new gameplay trailer for Minecraft Dungeons 2 has been showcased, with the release scheduled for September 29th on both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, according to Nintendo Everything. Last but not least, Another Crab’s Treasure has surprisingly received a Nintendo Switch 2 edition, featuring enhanced performance and resolution upgrades—again, information coming from Nintendo Everything.
Finally, Two Point Museum has launched a free “Cult of the Lamb” collaboration update, offering new thematic content for players to enjoy, as mentioned on Nintendo Everything.
In sum, Nintendo’s latest reveals provide a blend of excitement and clarifications as the industry prepares for upcoming releases and changes.
