Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave finally got a release date at today's Nintendo Direct and is officially up for preorder. Digital editions of the game are available directly through the eShop for $69.99 alongside two physical editions priced at $79.99 (Standard) and $119.99 (Dagdan Collection).

Fortune's Weave is the first Switch 2 exclusive Fire Emblem game and is the first game in the franchise since 2023's Fire Emblem Engage. It's set to release later this year on September 17, 2026.

The digital edition of Fortune's Weave costs $10 less than the physical edition. The main benefit of the digital edition preorder is that Nintendo allows you to pre-download the game and play it as soon as it releases. So if you're just excited to play the game and not collect an actual cartridge for your collection, that's the way to go.

Walmart briefly had the physical edition available to preorder for a discount, but it has since gone out of stock there.

Nintendo hasn't revealed any preorder bonuses for the standard edition of the game just yet. We'll add any details we find as soon as they are announced.

In addition to the standard edition, there's also a collector's edition up for preorder. It's already sold out at the Nintendo eShop, but it's also available at Best Buy. You can expect this version of the game to sell out quickly. You'll already need to join a queue when you try to purchase here.

Nintendo revealed the contents of the Dagdan Collection during its June 2026 direct livestream.

The latest trailer for Fortunes Weave gave us the most detailed look at the game yet. Like its predecessors, it's a tactical RPG that features a variety of distinct storylines. The story itself focuses on different protagonists as they compete in the Heroic Games, which has some serious Roman coliseum vibes. You get to pick one of four protagonists with different backgrounds and motivations, each of which has a unique story to play through. You can learn more about each protagonist directly from Nintendo's product page by scrolling down a bit.

The trailer also gave us our first look at the game's free time structure, which allows you to level up your skills and recruit units to your team.

Nintendo just announced Switch Sports Resort during its June Direct and you can already preorder physical editions at Amazon. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort features almost all of the same games as Switch Sports, but with some notable additions. It's a Switch 2 exclusive game that will be released on October 22, 2026.

As of right now, Amazon is the only place where you can preorder the physical edition of Switch Sports Resort. It's available to preorder digitally directly from the Nintendo eShop for $49.99, but physical editions are not up for preorder there either. The price difference between the physical and digital editions of the game follow Nintendo's new pattern of digital games costing less than their physical counterparts.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a Switch 2 exclusive game with no Switch 1 version planned. The game requires upgraded Joy-Con 2 controls for each of its sports and is incompatible with older hardware.

If you've ever played Switch Sports or Wii Sports, then you already know what this game is all about. This game utilizes the upgraded Switch 2 Joy-Con controls to actively play a variety of different sports digitally. Switch Sports Resort is essentially a spiritual successor to Wii Sports Resort and features many of the same sports from that classic game. Here's the full list of activities we saw featured in the Nintendo Direct:

The upcoming game includes new activities, such as jump roping, skateboarding, and thumb wrestling, but is missing some sports from Wii Sports Resort and Switch Sports. Some notable exclusions are soccer, sword dueling, and frisbee. Nintendo could potentially add more sports to this game in future updates, but nothing has been announced just yet.

Destiny 2 is seeing a massive resurgence with the release of its final update.

Destiny fans have shown up in droves to send off the beloved sci-fi shooter. Although Destiny 2's servers will remain active for the foreseeable future, the game won't be getting any new content going forward. The game's final update was released today and at the time of writing, the game's 24-hour concurrent player count on Steam has peaked at 167,000. This is the highest Destiny 2 player count since the release of 2024's The Final Shape, the last paid expansion for the game, which peaked at 314,000 players.

Some players have even been reporting that they're having troubles logging into Destiny 2 due to the sudden influx. Ahead of the update, fans were aiming to surpass the all-time peak of Marathon and crash Destiny 2's servers to show Bungie/Sony that Destiny should continue on. They've already blown past Marathon's all-time peak player count of 77,000 players, and it seems the campaign has been successful in creating instability in Destiny 2's servers. Given this has all happned in the middle of the workday in the United States, it'll be interesting to see if this rockets further in the evening or closer to the weekend.

Last month, Bungie announced that support from Destiny 2 would be coming to an end in June, which caught fans off guard as many were expecting more expansions and updates. However, Bungie has chosen to focus its efforts on supporting Marathon, its latest release which has failed to attract a significant amount of regular players and has resulted in substantial losses for Sony, Bungie's parent company.

Destiny fans have been incredibly upset since the news broke, even going as far to demand a third game during Summer Game Fest. Unfortunately, Destiny 3 doesn't appear to be in the cards as Bloomberg reports that a new game isn't in active development. Additionally, Bungie is planning "significant" layoffs, although the company is said to be pitching and prototyping new games in the Destiny universe.

The cost to make such a game is likely too high given Bungie's financial woes and it wouldn't release until the early 2030s. But stranger things have happened, so maybe Destiny 3 could happen one day. It just won't be anytime soon.
