Wizard of Legend 2 Launches on Nintendo Switch November 25th

The fast-paced elemental roguelite makes its handheld debut with full feature parity and Switch-specific optimizations

[November 11th, 2025] – Dead Mage and Humble Games are happy to announce that Wizard of Legend 2 will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 25, 2025, bringing the game’s trademark elemental combat, roguelite progression, and cooperative play to the hybrid console-handheld system.

Following its 1.0 release earlier this year on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, the Switch version delivers all content from the console/PC edition, refined controls for Joy-Con and Pro Controllers, and optimized performance across both handheld and docked play.

In Wizard of Legend 2, players take on The Trials once again—mastering 77 Arcana, including 12 Chaos Arcana, to build custom spell loadouts and experiment with hundreds of possible combos. Every run challenges players to adapt to new enemy lineups, elemental interactions, and dynamic boss encounters designed to test both reflexes and strategy.

Whether competing solo, teaming up for local co-op in tabletop mode, or joining forces online with up to four players, the Switch version delivers the same responsive, combo-driven action that defines the series—now fully portable.

Wizard of Legend 2 Features:

  • 4-player Co-op: Play solo or with up to three friends in seamless online or local multiplayer. The Switch release incorporates refinements introduced during 1.0, including faster Arcana responsiveness, improved camera tracking, adjusted boss HP scaling, and streamlined item interactions for smoother co-op runs.
  • Diverse Biomes and Bosses: Each region presents new elemental hazards, enemy archetypes, minibosses, and area bosses. From the heights of the Sky Citadel to the depths of the Chaos biome, every area features distinct mechanics and rewards for players to uncover.
  • Elemental Arcana System: Experiment with 77 Arcana spanning Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Chaos elements. Mix and match to discover synergies, from chain lightning combos to earth-based crowd control, and adapt your spell kit to each Trial’s demands.
  • Expansive Language Support: Support in 13 languages, including English, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Persian, Farsi, and Turkish.

Wizard of Legend 2 launches for Nintendo Switch on November 25, 2025.

Agefield High: Rock the School Drops Story Trailer Full of Teen Rebellion and Early 2000s Chaos

A new look at the nostalgic, rule-breaking coming-of-age adventure from Refugium Games.

[November 10, 2025] – Refugium Games has unveiled a brand-new story trailer for Agefield High: Rock the School, offering a deeper dive into the game’s coming-of-age narrative and rebellious teenage spirit that is inspired by the raunchy teen comedies of the era. Featuring updated character models and improved facial animations, the trailer brings the story’s core trio — Sam, Kale, and Axel — to life. Check out the latest trailer below!

Set in the year 2002, Agefield High: Rock the School follows Sam Tatum, the new kid in town, and his two friends as they refuse to graduate as nobodies. With graduation on the horizon and the weight of expectations closing in, they decide to flip the script — throwing caution (and every school rule) to the wind in a final bid to leave their mark. Between overbearing parents, pervy teachers, and a smug school rival dead set on ruining their plans, these teens are ready to push back, break rules, and rock their last months of high school on their own terms.

With its punchy humor, saturated colors, and early 2000s pop-punk energy, the trailer captures the game’s defiant tone — a nostalgic, heartfelt ode to teenage mischief, rebellion, and friendship.

Key Features:

  • Cinematic Gameplay: Follow a branching narrative through a series of missions with different endings.
  • A Fully Simulated School System: Attend (or skip) five different class types, including English, Math, Geography, Music, and German.
  • Explore a Small-Town Sandbox: From bike shops to tattoo parlors, the world of Agefield is filled with places to discover and decisions to make.
  • Side Hustles and Mini-Games: Complete a variety of side missions and activities like prank calling and lawn mowing to earn cash and unlock items.
  • Customize Your Look: Buy clothes, accessories, bikes, hairstyles, and more to express your style and stand out in the halls.
  • Authentic Early 2000s Vibes: A pop-punk soundtrack, springtime setting, and vibrant color palette create an atmosphere that’s as loud and rebellious as your teen years.

Currently in development, Agefield High: Rock the School is scheduled to release for PC via Steam, with console versions planned for a later date. Players can wishlist the game on Steam now to stay up-to-date with the latest news and updates.

After the successful launch of their second game Vacant’s Mine, more developers joined. And Refugium Games decided on starting to work on their dream game, Agefield High: Rock the School, the open-world game where you play as a teenager in high school.

Game Studio Social First Expands into Real-Money Trading with GamerPay Platform Acquisition

The acquisition brings together an emerging game studio with a trusted real-money marketplace to continue paving the way for players to safely buy and sell in-game items for real value.

Finnish Game Studio Social First, the developers behind Nexus Station have announced the acquisition of the GamerPay.gg platform; a real-money marketplace for in-game assets. GamerPay currently operates as a marketplace for Counter-Strike 2 skins, a global billion dollar business. The move unites the marketplace’s proven technology and community trust with the studio’s growth, setting the stage for a new era of secure, player-driven economies.

By introducing trust and regulation to this thriving market, GamerPay empowers players and unlocks new revenue opportunities for developers and publishers. 

“We’re proud to welcome GamerPay under the Social First umbrella and continue its mission of providing secure, trusted trading for players”, said Kim Soares, CEO of Social First. 

“We’re excited about the opportunities this unlocks for our Nexus Station players but also of course the opportunities for secure, real-world value in gaming in general. The GamerPay platform can be expanded into comprehensive Direct-to-Consumer payment services, and we aim to build it into a service any game company can use for providing in-app purchases to their customers outside traditional storefronts.”

“Since day one, GamerPay has been about creating trust and transparency – making it safe and simple to trade digital items of real value,” said Morten Byskov, Co-Founder of GamerPay. 

“Joining Social First marks an exciting new chapter. They share our belief in building a marketplace that extends beyond just CS2 and aligns with our vision of a fair, player-first economy. Most importantly, they share our values when it comes to caring for players and our community. Together, we can bring that philosophy to even more games and players worldwide. I’m incredibly proud of what our small team has built, and even more excited to see GamerPay grow into something bigger under the Social First umbrella.”

The marketplace will continue to operate as usual, with all user accounts, balances, and listings remaining intact. Existing customers can expect the same secure transactions and responsive support they’ve always enjoyed. With additional resources and long-term investment, Social First aims to refine processes and create a better experience for existing and new customers going forward.

Dark Deity 2 Launches Today on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5

The acclaimed strategy RPG expands its legacy—now on PlayStation and Xbox for the first time.

[San Francisco] November 7, 2025-  Dark Deity 2, the acclaimed tactical RPG sequel to the indie hit Dark Deity, is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Developed by Sword & Axe LLC and published by indie.io, this marks the first time the series has appeared on PlayStation and Xbox, introducing its deep strategy, emotional storytelling, and stunning pixel art to a whole new audience of tactical RPG fans.

Set 25 years after the events of Dark Deity, the sequel returns players to the war-torn realm of Verroa, where the Eternal Order once restored peace—but a new empire now seeks to claim it. While longtime fans will recognize familiar echoes of the world and its legacy, Dark Deity 2 is built as a fully standalone adventure, allowing newcomers to dive in and experience a rich, self-contained story. Players will lead Gwyn and Riordian, descendants of the original heroes, as they unite twenty unique warriors to resist a vast and holy invasion. Commanding the Eternal Delegation, players will forge alliances, decide the fate of kingdoms, and outmaneuver powerful foes across 30 story-driven chapters of fully voice-acted tactical combat.

At the heart of Dark Deity 2 is its turn-based tactical combat, where every decision shapes the battlefield and the fate of Verroa. Under their leadership, players command 20 legendary heroes across 45 branching classes, each with unique abilities, passives, and tactical roles. From cosmic sorcerers to crocodile-summoning wardens, blood-soaked cultists to noble knights, every unit offers new possibilities for experimentation and synergy. A reworked ability and enhancement system—featuring runes, rings, and flexible skill combinations—lets players craft hybrid builds and push the limits of traditional tactics.

Beyond combat, Dark Deity 2 delivers deep campaign customization inspired by community-made randomizers. Players can fine-tune difficulty, adjust recruitment order, and modify progression stats like XP, gold, and aptitude growth to create a challenge perfectly matched to their playstyle. Each run unfolds differently—not only in strategy but in story—thanks to dynamic recruitment paths and player-driven decisions that reshape Verroa’s destiny.

Dark Deity 2’s fully voice-acted main campaign features performances from an acclaimed cast led by Allegra Clark (Apex Legends, Jujutsu Kaisen) as Queen Rashida, alongside other notable voice actors who bring Verroa’s heroes and villains vividly to life.

Dark Deity 2 is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.For the latest updates, behind-the-scenes peeks, and epic lore, visit the official website.
