With nowhere else to go, the hopeless inhabitants of Dreamlight Valley retreated behind locked doors in the Dream Castle. Now it’s up to you to discover the stories of this world and bring the magic back to Dreamlight Valley! Show your love for Disney with exclusive outfits that celebrate the classic Disney Parks themes, along with beloved characters such as Mickey Mouse. Disney Dreamlight Valley is a hybrid between a life-sim and an adventure game rich with quests, exploration and engaging activities featuring Disney and Pixar friends, both old and new. Disney Dreamlight Valley launches for Nintendo Switch on Sept. 6 in Early Access.

Well known for its charismatic heroes, striking art style and unforgettable catch phrases (“Yare yare daze … ”), JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R captures the over-the-top art style that is vintage JoJo. Experience the JoJo universe with powerful imagery inspired by Hirohiko Araki’s manga series, freely move the characters with your own hands and feel as if you’re inside the manga where graphics and text meet to invoke the characteristic “ゴゴゴゴゴ.” JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R will be ready for battle on Sept. 2.
