The ‘Dark Crystal’ prequel will become a turn-based strategy game on the Nintendo Switch

Last month, Netflix announced a prequel to Jim Henson’s film The Dark Crystal. Now, it seems that isn’t the only way we’re going to experience the 10-episode series. It’s getting a tie-in, turn-based strategy game for the Nintendo Switch. Called Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, players control squads of units taken from the Dark Crystal’s universe and make moves on a grid-based battlefield. The game is being developed by BonusXP, which was the team behind the Stranger Things tie-in game. You can expect Age of Resistance Tactics to come out later this year. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is coming out on Netflix on August 30^th.

Nintendo delays the release of ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ to March 2020

Animal Crossing fans might not like this Nintendo announcement. The company revealed at its E3 2019 presentation that the release of the game on the Switch will be pushed back to March 20, 2020. It was originally supposed to launch this year. Nintendo said in a statement, “We must ask you to wait a little later than we thought.”

What we get for now is a first look at the game. The game is set on a deserted island where you work to build a home and life for your character. It looks like animal neighbours will move in as you clean up the island. Crafting seems to be a part of this game as players work to make their own tools and items.
