Inkle’s A Highland Song was one of my favorite’s from GDC this year, mixing exploration, rhythm, and folklore into one cozy package. Now the game has a release date: it’ll be out on December 5th.

Backpack Hero is a roguelike where the goal is to arrange your gear just right to “unleash their true potential.” It looks like just the thing for Marie Kondo aficionados. It might be the only RPG I’ve ever seen that boasts “unique backpack powers.” It’s also launching later today in the Switch eShop.

Nintendo loves to surprise drop a game during a livestream, and today that means Howl, a turn-based folktale game set in a world ravaged by a sound-based plague. It’ll be available on the Switch “later today.” It looks absolutely gorgeous, but if the trailer doesn’t sell you, there’s also a demo to check out.

The co-op exploration game Core Keeper is launching next summer, and it promises a little bit of everything: mining, farming, base building, and ancient creatures to battle.

Following its big Direct presentation in September, Nintendo is back with another showcase, this time focused on indie games. The company says it will include “roughly 20 minutes of new announcements and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch,” so don’t get your hopes up for new hardware or the Zelda movie. You can watch the whole thing at 12PM ET tomorrow in the video below.

Geeked Week continues on Sunday, but the focus will be on one specific project: Zac Snyder’s sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, which is getting a new trailer ahead of its December premiere.

Gyeongseong Creature is the latest in a growing list of Korean series on Netflix, and it looks like a fascinating bit of monster mayhem up against the backdrop of real-world history. The first teaser doesn’t show much of the actual creatures, but we’ll find out more when the show starts streaming on December 22nd.

before the animated adaptation, uh, takes off on Netflix on November 17th.
