Batman Arkham Trilogy - 1st December
On 1st December, Batman: Arkham Trilogy swoops onto Nintendo Switch.
This package includes all three games of the acclaimed trilogy – Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight, as well as all DLC. Expect to come up against DC Super-Villains like The Joker, Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy, as well as plenty of combat and action as you tear through the streets of Gotham:
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince - 1st December
Also releasing on 1st December is Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
The game has you journeying through a fantastic world on the hunt for high-ranked monsters. Playing as Psaro, you'll adventure through the ever-changing seasons of Nadiria and its unique environments, with rivers of lava, mysterious ancient ruins, and soaring towers of cake amongst your destinations. Here's a quick summary:
Psaro is cursed and is unable to harm anything with monster blood. Now, he must become a Monster Wrangler to create an army for battle. The key to Psaro's success lies with synthesis: the ability to combine two monsters and create a stronger offspring. Each new creation brings Psaro one step closer to his goal of becoming the Master of Monsterkind.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (DLC - The Indigo Disk) - 14th December
The second part of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's DLC launches on 14th December. If you're yet to treat yourself to the games, you can now grab physical versions of Scarlet and Violet with the newly released DLC included, saving you the trouble of picking up all of the content separately.
Another Code: Recollection - 18th January
