Nintendo's VP and general manager for Latin America, Bill van Zyll, said the company follows consumer preference and noted the Switch 2 is barely over a year into its life with both capabilities. This contrasts with Sony, which has decided to move toward a digital-only game marketplace starting in 2028.

Eurogamer has published its review of Valor Mortis, the new game from Ghostrunner studio One More Level. The review describes it as a Napoleonic alternate-history Soulslike that fuses fluid sword- and gunplay with parkour, and calls it a delight.
Eurogamer reports that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles are more expensive than ever in most markets. It attributes this largely to AI data centres consuming memory components.
Push Square reviewed Valor Mortis, calling the first-person Soulslike from One More Level a standout for its Napoleonic alternate history and strong level design, with satisfying combat and weapon upgrade trees. The reviewer finished most side quests in about 18 hours and expects the Platinum around the 22-hour mark. The review also notes flat visuals and unremarkable music, indistinct boss fights, and a frustrating final stretch with low health and inconsistent checkpoints.
Eurogamer reviewed Valor Mortis, One More Level's alternate-history Napoleonic Soulslike starring Grande Armée soldier William Dowsett. The review calls its first-person swordplay solid and notes the gradual addition of pistols, shotguns, rifles, parkour and grapple swings across a roughly 20-hour run that is more forgiving than genre peers. It faults the later stages for repeated enemy types, similar environments and a predictable story.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction launches February 4, 2027 https://www.gematsu.com/2026/10/he-man-and-the-masters-of-the-universe-dragon-pearl-of-destruction-launches-february-4-2027
GameSpot's review says Valor Mortis is a first-person soulslike with snappy combat that rewards parries and patience, but it is held back by a weak story and a sluggishly paced opening. You play as William Dowsett, a member of Napoleon's army who returns from the dead to find former allies twisted by corruption.
Game Informer reviewed Valor Mortis, a first-person Soulslike from developer One More Level, with the author finishing it in about 25 hours and dying more than 100 times. Set in Napoleonic France, it follows William, who is reawakened by Napoleon speaking in his mind and wields left-hand powers like fire and stasis alongside swords and guns. The review calls the first half unfairly balanced with frequent one-hit kills, while the second half settles into a rhythm that encourages another attempt, with parrying, blocking, and dashing at the core of combat.
