All announcements from the September Nintendo Direct

Yesterday was the September Nintendo Direct, where the company revealed new information for Switch titles already announced and in development, although there were some surprises. For example, we learned about the new Kirby game, saw the first gameplay of Bayonetta 3, which was announced back in 2017, and we were confirmed that a major update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is being developed, which will appear in November.

Monster Hunter Rise - Sunbreak DLC

The show kicked off with the first trailer for Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak's big expansion. It will be released in the summer of 2022 and will contain a lot of new content, including hunting and quests. Sunbreak looks like the equivalent of Master Rank from the Monster Hunter World's Iceborne expansion.

The whole world, from heroes and villains to cities and environments, will be represented by maps. The game will be released on October 28, although you can pre-order and try out the demo right now.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut

The detective role-playing game will reach the Nintendo Switch on October 12th. But if you want a physical copy, you'll have to wait until 2022. The game will receive an updated voice acting for literally every in-game line, additional content, including quests, and new animations.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

The new Kirby will appear in the spring of 2022. Our hero sets off on a journey into a mysterious world saturated with particles of the post-apocalypse. This is still a classic platform game, but with an open world where you need to use the abilities of the hero.
