Necrosoft Games and Ysbyrd Games have announced that school-life tactics RPG Demonschool is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 with brand-new DLC in 2026. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Demonschool includes mouse controls, improved frame rates, and more graphical elements.

Get the latest details below, via Ysbyrd Games:

Paid Downloadable Content

The focus is on puzzle battles. These are battles in which the player must “solve” a board by clearing it of enemies using the characters given, within one turn. Each puzzle is carefully set up to have one solution. For those who wanted a more puzzling experience out of our battles, this downloadable content is for you!

In this downloadable content players will get access to new items which can charge their special attacks, as well as three new unlockable abilities to study, which are usable in the main game. It’s deceptively difficult, but makes you feel smart when you get it! The battles are accompanied by a short side-story with new music, which culminates in a new boss.

The downloadable content should take three-to-five hours to complete without a guide, though it took our creative director around six hours. Maybe you’re smarter than him!

Switch 2 Version

We’re also bringing the game to Switch 2 with mouse support, improved framerate, and more graphical elements vs the original Switch version. All of this in 2026!

Demonschool launched on November 19, 2025 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

iam8bit Presents and Nano Park Studios have released a new gameplay trailer for “slice-of-life pixel-powered adventure RPG” Petal Runner, which launches in 2026 for PC via Steam. A free demo for Petal Runner is also available on Steam.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

Petal Runner is a coming-of-age story set in a solarpunk, pixel-powered open world — dripping with Game Boy Color-era charm and a whole lot of heart.

Join Cali and their foxy sidekick Kira as the two fulfill their lifelong dream of becoming Petal Runners–an elite crew of motorcycle couriers. Deliver and install the newest, most impressive generation of digital pets across a vibrant coastal city.

Welcome To Sapphire Valley

Sapphire Valley is a coastal metropolis split into four districts, each with its own vibe, colour palette, and culture. You’ll meet all types of people, androids, and cute digital pets bursting with personalities that range from “charming,” to “wacky,” to “wait, stop… scratch-’n-sniff stickers are not actually food!”

Explore every gorgeous corner at your own pace. Take on side jobs. Chat up the locals — human or otherwise. Get into trouble. Get out of trouble. Get scolded by your boss because you were busy with heroic hijinks. (Whoops on that one.)

Hop On Your Bike!

Don’t let the retro-inspired visuals fool you — Cali’s hand-crafted motorcycle feels satisfying and intuitive as it cruises down the street. And the best part? You don’t have to get off your bike to talk to NPC’s! Hooray! (This was a whole thing during development, in case you were wondering!)

Plan your routes across highways and back roads, make your deliveries, and try not to get too distracted by the incredible scenery.

(WARNING: You will probably get distracted by the scenery. It’s REALLY pretty.)

Wholesome Storytelling

At the heart of Petal Runner is the lifelong friendship between Cali and Kira. Two best friends on a motorcycle, chasing a dream, making deliveries, cracking jokes — living the life they always wanted.

But beneath the candy-coloured pixels and upbeat soundtrack, something isn’t quite right. And just maybe, buried under all the sea breeze and neon, there are secrets lurking in the very heart of the corporation that built this world…

With hand-crafted pixel visuals by artist Brandon James Greer (YouTube: BJGpixel), and story contributions from award-winning writer Adam Dolin (God of War, Horizon: Forbidden West), enjoy this emotional (but still totally cozy and fun!) story inspired by classic gaming and 90s anime.

Features

- - A solarpunk, slice-of-life, pixel art-powered open world bursting with Game Boy Color-era charm!
  - Satisfying motorcycle traversal through lush, lovingly-detailed pixel art streets, highways, and back roads.
  - A vibrant cast of people, androids, and digital pets — offering diverse stories, quirks, and hot takes on food etiquette.
  - Diverse, quirky minigames designed to challenge and delight.
  - Oodles of digital pets to meet, deliver, and help settle into their new homes.
  - A wholesome (but gripping) main campaign with a corporate mystery simmering underneath…
  - Four distinct districts to explore, each with unique vibes, characters, and colour palettes
  - Side quests, mysteries, and hijinks — ghost hunts, heists, missing persons, concerts gone wrong… and more!
  - An original chiptune soundtrack that knows exactly when to make you smile and when to make you ~ feel things ~

Paramount Games Studio and Bloober Team have announced Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a new science-fiction psychological thriller for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Star Trek: Shadow Frontier will launch in 2027 with Michelle Forbes starring as protagonist Ro Laren.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

EXPLORE – A TREK INTO THE UNKNOWN

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is a mature, story-driven, 3rd person action-adventure set in the expansive Star Trek universe. After crashing onto a distant planet overtaken by a strange consciousness, Ro Laren must survive in an environment that is as breathtaking as it is lethal.

In true Star Trek fashion, Ro’s mission is driven by duty and purpose. But here, discovery comes at a terrible cost. The more she uncovers, the deeper she is pulled into a corrupted labyrinth where her memories twist and the planet threatens to sever her connection to reality.

Only by solving the mysteries of this strange world can Ro hope to make peace with the demons of her past, boldly going into the heart of darkness like never before.

INVESTIGATE – THE LETHAL PLANET

A planet-wide entity has overtaken the landscape… and weaponizes it. Creatures spawned within this environment patrol the lands and strike without warning, forcing Ro into desperate fights and narrow escapes.

Each encounter will test your resolve as much as your skill. You’ll need to stay alert, pay attention to your surroundings and choose whether to engage in combat or outmaneuver your enemies.

SURVIVE – FEAR TAKES ON MANY FORMS

The hostile ecosystem poses a constant threat to Ro’s existence. It seeks to absorb Ro’s consciousness, burrowing deep into her mind and plaguing her with haunting visions.

Environmental hazards and obstacles lurk around every corner. Exploration is both your only path to salvation and your potential undoing.

Make full use of iconic Star Trek technology to gain an advantage: use your Tricorder to scan and analyze items and rely on your trusty Phaser to solve puzzles and fend off enemies.

STAR TREK LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier charts a bold new course for Star Trek: a mature, psychological action-adventure that honors the franchise’s core values of curiosity and courage. Venture with Ro Laren beyond the edge of charted space… and beyond the limits of sanity.

Balanced and varied gameplay blends exploration, puzzles, combat and cinematic set-pieces into a gripping, story-driven adventure that rewards patience, observation, and smart decision-making.

Explore. Investigate. Survive.

Arizona Sunshine Remake Announced, Releases in 2026

Vertigo Games has announced a remake of Arizona Sunshine, which will release later this year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. It adapts the 2016 VR game for flatscreens.

Check out the announcement trailer for Arizona Sunshine below:

The Steam page describes the game as follows:

Welcome to the sun-kissed, zombified state of Arizona.

Sharpen your machete, reload your shotgun, and bring your friends. The award-winning, smash-hit Arizona Sunshine® series brings its explosive third-person and sun-baked co-op action to friends everywhere.

Built on the foundation of series’ signature brutal gameplay and the frantic but surprisingly touching story of Arizona Sunshine VR 2, Arizona Sunshine delivers brand-new ways to survive the heart-pounding, limb-severing, dark-humored apocalypse in narrative-driven solo play or chaotic co-op where every encounter can spiral out of control.

Playing as Sunny, our dark-humored survivor who has spent way too much time alone in the desert talking to the undead he calls “Fred”, you’ll embark on a sun-drenched, gore-splattered road trip across Arizona with your fiercely loyal, zombie-chomping dog Buddy. It’s a witty, frantic story about survival, loneliness, and the bond between a man and his dog.

Sure, surviving alone is fine, but why not share the trauma? Grab a friend, a pizza, and a controller for chaotic split-screen co-op, or jump into a 2-player zombie-slaying sesh online. Blast through massive hordes using fan-favorite and all-new weapons, from shotguns and machetes to flamethrowers and more. Firefights break down fast, split-second saves become routine, and nothing ever goes according to plan.

Buddy isn’t just your loyal four-legged companion through thick and thin, he’s also the goodest boy in the apocalypse and more than happy to help tear through those pesky Freds alongside you. For the first time ever, Buddy is fully playable in co-op, unlocking a whole new way to experience the apocalypse together.

Arizona Sunshine is fully reimagined in third-person for explosive action and accessible co-op gameplay. It delivers over-the-top zombie combat, outrageous customization, dark humour, and endless Fred-slaying chaos.

Key features:

- Experience the award-winning zombie franchise reimagined in third-person
- Forge an unexpected friendship during a journey full of intense survival.
- Survive solo or in 2-player online and split-screen co-op
- Play as Buddy for the first time ever in co-op
- Blast through massive hordes as you wield weapons, from shotguns to machetes and flamethrowers with over-the-top action
- Customize your survivor with ridiculous outfits and cosmetics
- Explore a sun-baked apocalypse packed with dark humor, chaos, and plenty of Freds
