Round Up: The Previews Are In For Zelda: Ocarina Of Time On Switch 2
Fairy nuff. Believe it or not, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2 is almost here. We are rapidly closing in on that 5th November release date (Nintendo released a new trailer , just to remind us), and today we can start to get an idea of what to expect from the remake. The first Ocarina of Time previews are now live, with multiple outlets getting to go hands-on with Link's latest. Here at Nintendo Life, we had a wonderful time with the little we've seen of OoT so far, with our own Gavin Lane coming away from the preview suitably giddy about all of the new details: Read the full article on nintendolife.com
"I wanted to make the show I wanted to watch" – How Galaxies found a place in the crowded showcase landscape
Tomorrow will see the debut of the fourth Galaxies Showcase , which has managed to carve out a space of its own in the increasingly crowded lineup of digital showcases that have blossomed since the pandemic. Its indie and double-A lineup occupies a careful middle ground between the purely-digital indie collaborations at the bottom of the market and Geoff Keighley's top-dollar showcase at the top – with platform-led events like State of Play and Nintendo Direct occupying rarefied air alongside. Galaxies' pitch is a high-end studio production, anchored by Outside Xbox's Jane Douglas, delivering a tightly curated hour – and no more – of game trailers, mixing paid and free placements.

"We are here to give you something to believe in": the former Disco Elysium devs of Summer Eternal reveal new RPG Red Rooster, a game of fire, water and alternate selves
Earlier this month, the former Disco Elysium developers of worker co-operative studio Summer Eternal sent me a 500-page anthology describing their new game Red Rooster.

It takes place in a magic realist, "our-world-adjacent", mightily flammable and divided river city called Arta-Trantor, created with Unreal Engine and housing a "physics-powered sandbox of objects you can individually move, manipulate – and burn."

Elsewhere on the site , you can read a big reveal piece that outlines the new game from former Disco Elysium devs under the name of Summer Eternal - an "incendiary RPG" fusing the best bits of text-heavy isometric role-playing games with the world-building and player agency of an immersive sim.
