Square Enix Considering Final Fantasy 14 for Nintendo Switch
Reports suggest Square Enix is considering bringing its MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV to the Nintendo Switch.
According to The Sixth Axis and Nova Crystallis, the statement was made at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Frankfurt (surely one of the more beautiful bits of alliteration in the video game world) this weekend. After talk of bringing Final Fantasy XIV to the Xbox One a few months ago, it seems Nintendo's upcoming console could be on the list too.
Final Fantasy XV Gets Patch and DLC Today
Square Enix has launched the Final Fantasy XV Booster Pack + DLC today to all Season Pass holders, along with the 1.05 patch for all players.
The DLC contains an almighty sword called Ragnarok which allows you to perform a powerful Warp-strike attack. You'll also get a... fishing rod and a reel which will make fish easier to catch.
The newest patch includes the addition of two songs from NieR: Automata to the Final Fantasy XV music player (which you can now listen to while riding chocobos), the addition of new timed quests, and an increased level cap up to 120 from 99. You can now also save up to 200 photos rather than the previous 150, and an increased framerate will be found on the new PlayStation 4 Pro Lite mode.

Doomfist Might Not Be the Next Overwatch Hero After All
Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan appears to have poured cold water on the widely-held belief that the (possibly Terry Crews-voiced) Doomfist will be the next character released for the shooter.
In an Overwatch forum thread otherwise about new emotes for existing characters, Kaplan reconfirmed that "we have multiple new heroes being worked on right now", before stating that "
is not who you think it is."
Following subtle hints and a campaign by Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor Crews to voice the character, it's been the general assumption that Doomfist would be number 24 - Kaplan appears to be telling us that's not the case.

These Upcoming Overwatch Figures Are Crazy Adorable
Overwatch got a lot of love at this year's Toy Fair in New York, as several new figures based on Blizzard's team-based shooter were at the event.
Check out the gallery below to see a collection of Funko POP! Vinyl figures, including Reinhardt, D.Va, Lucio, McCree, Mei and Symmetra, as well as Good Smile Company's previously-announced Tracer Nendoroid figure. The POP! Vinyl figures are currently hand-painted prototypes, so while all of the visors seen on the models in the gallery are opaque, they'll be clear in the final product.
You can pre-order the Tracer Nendoroid through Good Smile's Online Shop for 4900 yen (approximately $43 USD). Meanwhile, all of the Funko POP! Vinyl figures will be available for $10, except for the Reinhardt model, which costs $15, and the D.Va figure, which is priced at $20. A release date for the POP! Vinyl figures has yet to be announced.
