Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for September 30th, 2021. Today we’ve got a really, really, really big list of new releases to look at. Lots of interesting titles, including Death’s Gambit: Afterlife, Hot Wheels Unleashed, Unsighted, Darksiders III, Bonfire Peaks , some Cotton games, and many more. Even with all of those games to talk about, I’ve still managed to get the lists of new and expiring sales together. Let’s get our hands dirty! New Releases Death’s Gambit: Afterlife ($19.99) SwitchArcade Highlight! Death’s Gambit has been one of the more well-liked 2D Soulslike games since its release a few years back, and the Afterlife update made a good thing even better. As Death’s new right-hand, you’ll travel through twenty areas defeating the challenging Guardians you find along the way. There are seven different character classes to choose from, each with a ton of skills and abilities to unlock and use. There’s plenty of non-linear exploration, a...

Snowprint Studios, who have put out the excellent Legend of Solgard a few years back and more recently Rivengard , have partnered up with Games Workshop to develop a new tactical mobile game in the Warhammer universe. Titled Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus , the game is centered around “intense fast-paced skirmishes in PVE campaigns and tightly competitive PVP battles, as well as massively collaborative guild boss fights." An original story written by renowned Warhammer writer Matt Forbeck will tell the tales across multiple factions in the Warhammer Universe, including Ultramarines, Necrons, Adepta Sororitas, Black Legion and “many more to be revealed." You can catch a glimpse at early alpha gameplay as well as explanations of the game’s mechanics from game director Wilhelm Osterberg in the following “first look" video. I am far from any sort of Warhammer expert, but my man’s giant stack of Warhammer tabletop games and desk littered with miniatures gives me confidence th...

With Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) having launched in many parts of the world, Microsoft brought the service to browsers including Safari on iOS and iPadOS recently. The company has been improving the service and its reach over the months with touch control support for many games, the addition of many big games to cloud streaming, and more following the rollout worldwide. Today at Microsoft’s Xbox TGS 2021 showcase, the company announced that Xbox Cloud Gaming will be coming to Mexico and Brazil beginning later today with Australia and Japan on October 1st. This is another big step towards covering more regions worldwide. Microsoft is yet to announce when Xbox Cloud Gaming will come to countries like India. If you’ve not kept up with Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) and why it hadn’t launched on iOS alongside Android, Apple’s own restrictions and rules were the reason for the delay. Following a lot of delays and seemingly no hope for the service on iOS and iPadOS, Microsoft now lets anyone...

Each and every day new mobile games are hitting the App Store, and so each week we put together a big old list of all the best new releases of the past seven days. Back in the day the App Store would showcase the same games for a week, and then refresh those features each Thursday. Because of that developers got into the habit of releasing their games throughout Wednesday or very early Thursday in order to hopefully get one of those coveted features spots. Nowadays the App Store refreshes constantly, so the need for everyone to release all on the same day has diminished. Still, we’ve kept our weekly Wednesday night format as for years that’s the time people knew to check TouchArcade for the list of new games. And so without further ado please check out the full list of this week’s new games below, and let us know in the comments section which games you’ll be picking up!   Actraiser Renaissance ($19.99) iTunes Description Actraiser combines 2D platforming action (Realm Acts) ...
