We've also got one bonus announcement - and while there's no confirmation for Switch or console platforms just yet, Nightdive Studios has revealed it's reviving the 1996 Sega Saturn title PowerSlave Exhumed by Lobotomy Software. It's apparently "coming soon" to PC (GOG) and makes use of both the Saturn and PSone versions. Here's a look:
