We’re DOOM’d.
Well folks, another week has come and gone, which means it’s time to reveal what we’re all going to be playing this weekend. Before we do, however, let’s see what’s been going on this week.
First up, Monolith Soft is recruiting for what it simply describes as a “new RPG”; chances are it’ll probably be a new Xenoblade title for Nintendo’s upcoming hardware, but who knows. Elsewhere, DOOM + DOOM II got a new release on the Switch eShop courtesy of iD software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames (more on that later), while we reviewed what we think is one of the best 2D action-platformers on Switch with Volgarr the Viking II.

The excellent Metroidvania Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown blew us away back when it launched i9n January, and Ubisoft has been providing fans with free updates since its release. But now, Sargon will be embarking on a new story chapter when the first piece of DLC lands on 17th September 2024.
Titled Mask of Darkness, the DLC was teased back at Ubisoft Forward in June. And while we don’t know too much about the DLC, we do know that we’ll be exploring a whole new interconnected world with “exclusive biomes” on Mount Qaf. Look, more exploration and combat in a new world is enough for us.

Not long to go now…
It’s hard to believe that in a little under two months, we’ll be experiencing yet another brand-new Zelda title on the Nintendo Switch.
It’s seems like only yesterday that we were analysing the third and final trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, yet here we are to take a look at Nintendo’s latest bit of marketing for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It’s the first mainline entry in the franchise to star the titular princess herself, which means the gameplay is going to be significantly different from what you’re used to with regular hero Link (or Barry, or Keith, or My Dude, or whatever you’ve christened him in the past).

Here’s how to save £26!
The very first Legend of Zelda LEGO set is just weeks away from release, with the Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 shipping from 1st September. After initially selling out rather quickly, pre-orders are once again available with some new options appearing courtesy of the My Nintendo Store UK & Ireland.
The set – which contains 2,500 pieces and four brand-new Minifigures – can be bought on its own from the My Nintendo Store at its regular retail price of £259.99 / $299.99. However, should you also want a copy of the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which we imagine most Zelda fans probably do, you can order both to take 10% off the Great Deku Tree’s cost.
