[Gamescom 2019] ‘The Witcher 3’ Comes to Nintendo Switch This October
During Geoff Keighley’s Germanic Games Extravaganza (or Gamescom Opening Night Live if you prefer) we got a fresh trailer for The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch that also told us when we can get Geralt on the go.
The trailer sees someone asking Geralt why he’s chosen to visit the area, and proceeds to list off several of the locales from the game and its expansions, including Novigrad and Skellige, thus showing us the various nasties from each place. Then we learn that the game is on Switch from October 15.
It’s not looking bad considering the hardware it’s running on, and it, of course, has the allure of being The Witcher 3 in a portable form.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
