The themed Switch will be available on March 13, a few weeks before Animal Crossing: New Horizons is released. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons-themed Switch comes with a variety of Animal Crossing-themed visual elements. The two Joy-Cons are sky blue and mint green, but adds a nice cream color accent underneath and on the grip accessories. They both also have matching color wrist straps.

Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is already a hit, but EA now says the single-player Star Wars adventure is on track to hit 10 million unit sales. During EA’s Q3 2020 financial call with investors, EA revealed that “Sales of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order significantly beat our expectations.” CFO Blake Jorgensen says that EA originally predicted Jedi: Fallen Order to sell between 6-8 million units for the fiscal year, but Star Wars already “hit the high end of that in the third quarter.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="legacyId=20096150&captions=true"] EA now says that it anticipates Jedi: Fallen Order to sell “around 10 million units in the fiscal year, a very strong result for a single-player action game.” Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a single-player game developed by Respawn Entertainment. The game follows Jedi-in-hiding Cal Kestis as he battles the Empire while rediscovering his Jedi training following their extermination from Order 66. Not only is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order critically-acclaimed, but according to EA, the game is selling well above sales expectations. According to the NPD Group, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was December 2019’s best-selling game and the sixth best-selling game of 2019 after only just two months. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/15/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-review"] Elsewhere in the call, EA shared a few details about next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. According to EA, the next-gen consoles will be ‘substantially greater’ than current-gen hardware which will lead to innovations in both games and genres.

The real-time strategy action hybrid original Xbox game Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is coming to PC soon. According to an official press release from developer Blueside, the classic will launch on Steam sometime during Q1 of 2020. The announcement follows the launch of Kingdom Under Fire 2, which was released on Steam late last year. Coming to PC in early 2020 will put this version of Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders just shy of 16 years behind the original release on Xbox, which came out on October 12, 2004. [ignvideo url="https://au.ign.com/videos/2019/08/21/kingdom-under-fire-2-spellsword-opening-cinematic"] This new version boasts the same real-time strategy elements as the first entry in the series, and will allow players to craft their troops to specific roles as well as level them up and upgrade the equipment and weaponry. Players will also still be able to use heroes during specifically controlled moments and make use of the four different nations to explore the full plot of the game. While the action is said to be unchanged and authentic in this port, keyboard and mouse support has been added to the gamepad controls of the original as well as HD graphics. In news of other titles coming to PC, reports are strongly suggesting we'll see PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn get a PC port at some point.

EA has shared its thoughts on the next-gen consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and the company said that what it’s capable of on those platforms will “blow people’s minds.” During an investor call for EA’s Fiscal 2020 Q3, EA’s leadership team was asked about their plans for next-gen consoles. While EA declined to share any specific details like game titles or announcements, EA appears bullish on the generational leap that will come with the next wave of hardware. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ps5-games-we-think-might-already-be-in-development&captions=true"] “The power of the new consoles is gonna be substantially greater than existing consoles,” said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen during the call. “We can do a lot more [with PS5 and Xbox Series X]. Things we’re doing will blow people’s minds.” Jorgensen also said there’s going to be so much “innovation” not just from EA but from the whole industry. Not only with more sophisticated games but even the creation of new genres. While EA declined to share what kinds of games or experiences it’s developing for next-gen consoles, the quote seems to indicate that the technology leap between current-gen consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to next-gen is greater than previously anticipated. There are already some rumors about what kind of tech will be in the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but neither Sony nor Microsoft have confirmed specs. During a recent GDC survey, over 10 percent of developers said that their next projects are slated for next-gen consoles. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/xbox-series-x-console-announcement-trailer"] In other EA news from today’s investor call, EA announced that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has greatly exceeded sales expectations. The company raised forecasts and now expects Jedi: Fallen Order to sell 10 million units, 2 million more than its previous expectation of 8 million.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=mortal-kombat-legends-scorpions-revenge&captions=true"] The film will be released in three physical releases.
