Strings Attached: Lies of P Complete Edition Hits Record Franchise-High 86 on Metacritic for Switch 2

  • Record Critical Reception: Lies of P: Complete Edition has scored an 86 on review aggregator Metacritic, marking the highest critical rating in the Soulslike franchise’s history.
  • Flawless 60 FPS Portable Performance: Praise has poured in for the port’s stellar optimization, locking in a smooth 60 frames per second across both docked and handheld play on Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Definitive Dark Fairy Tale: Bundles the acclaimed 2023 base game alongside the hit prequel expansion Lies of P: Overture into one complete package.

If you had any doubts about whether next-gen hybrid hardware could handle blood-pumping Soulslike precision, put them to rest. South Korean publisher NEOWIZ and developer Round8 Studio have hit a major milestone as Lies of P: Complete Edition landed an impressive 86 Metacritic score following its launch on Nintendo Switch 2, officially crowning it the highest-rated release in the entire franchise.

The glowing consensus comfortably surpasses the original release’s 80 score and the Overture DLC’s 85 mark. Critics and players alike have singled out the port’s incredible technical optimization, celebrating its rock-solid 60 frames per second performance whether docked on a big-screen TV or taken on the go in handheld mode. The haunting Belle Époque streets of Krat, atmospheric lighting, and responsive deflect timings make the jump to Nintendo Switch 2 without skipping a beat.

Originally launched in September 2023, Lies of P reimagined Carlo Collodi’s classic The Adventures of Pinocchio as a grim, blood-soaked action RPG. Thanks to its deep weapon assembly mechanics, mechanical Legion Arms, and tight combat rhythm, the title alongside its Overture expansion has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

For players who held off on diving into Krat’s puppet slaughter or veterans looking to experience the full saga in portable form, there has never been a better time to pull the strings.

Lies of P: Complete Edition is available now on Nintendo Switch 2, as well as on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Toss Another Coin: The Witcher 3 Remastered Lands September 29 with Brand-New 2027 Expansion Songs of the Past

  • Free Next-Gen Remaster Upgrade: CD Projekt Red announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered launches September 29, 2026, offering a free upgrade for existing owners on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, alongside day-one releases on Nintendo Switch 2 and Battle.net.
  • All Major Expansions Included: The Remaster bundles both acclaimed story expansions—Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine—straight out of the box at no extra charge.
  • Brand-New 2027 Story Expansion: Unveiled Songs of the Past, a massive new storyline co-developed with Fool’s Theory that brings Geralt to Dandelion’s hometown region of Letten, complete with new chain weaponry, mutagens, and dark curses.

Just when you thought you were finally done wandering the Continent, CD Projekt Red pulled off the biggest bombshell of Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live. The Polish studio has officially announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered for release on September 29, 2026, while shocking the gaming world with a teaser for an all-new full story expansion, Songs of the Past, arriving in 2027.

Having surpassed an incredible 65 million copies sold worldwide, Geralt’s 2015 magnum opus is getting an extensive visual, gameplay, and performance modernisation co-developed with Yigsoft. The remaster brings overhauled textures, lighting refinements, and streamlined gameplay tweaks, bundling both massive story expansions—Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine—into one unified experience.

The real showstopper, however, was the premiere of Songs of the Past. Nearly a decade after Blood and Wine was thought to be Geralt’s final curtain call, CD Projekt Red and veteran support studio Fool’s Theory are bringing the White Wolf back into the field. The upcoming expansion transports players to the seemingly idyllic countryside region of Letten, the ancestral home of everyone’s favorite bard, Dandelion. Beneath the pastoral festivals and lush harvests lies an ancient, festering curse that demands a witcher’s blade. To take on these newly revealed horrors, Geralt adds a tactical chain weapon for wide crowd control alongside powerful new mutagens and dozens of narrative-rich side quests.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered launches on September 29, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with the Songs of the Past expansion scheduled to arrive in 2027.

Artistic Camouflage Phenomenon: Viral Hide-and-Seek Sensation Meccha Chameleon Blasts Past 20 Million Copies

  • Historic 20 Million Milestone: Independent developer lemorion_1224 announced that viral multiplayer doodle game Meccha Chameleon has surpassed 20 million copies sold worldwide in just over two months.
  • Creative Body-Painting Camouflage: Rather than relying on simple prop morphs, hiders must quickly paint patterns, textures, and colors directly onto their blank humanoid bodies to seamlessly blend into walls and furniture.
  • Rapid Expansion and Viral Reception: Boasting overwhelmingly positive feedback across Steam, the game has rolled out frequent content drops, including new deep-sea arenas and an official crossover map with psychological horror indie The Exit 8.

If you thought the party-game space was running low on fresh ideas, think again. Independent developer lemorion_1224 has officially announced that viral hide-and-seek hit Meccha Chameleon has blown past an incredible 20 million copies sold worldwide on PC, accomplishing the feat just 63 days after its June launch.

Turning the classic Prop Hunt formula completely on its head, Meccha Chameleon pits teams of Seekers against Hiders in high-tension sandbox maps. Starting out as a stark-white blank canvas, Hiders must evaluate their surroundings, lock into a pose, and physically paint their character models on the fly to match brick patterns, wood grain, posters, and furniture. Seekers are then let loose against the clock to inspect every suspicious corner, shadow, and painted-over texture.

The genius blend of quick-fire artistic improvisation, hilarious blunders, and streamer-ready spectator suspense triggered a meteoric rise across the internet. The title crossed one million copies sold in its first four days, soared past 10 million before the end of its debut month, and now stands proudly at the 20 million mark with massive concurrent lobbies.

Post-launch momentum has remained electric, thanks to steady content rollouts from the developer. Recent updates have introduced new underwater stages alongside an official crossover map based on the liminal horror breakout The Exit 8. Backed by glowing Steam reviews and active community servers, Meccha Chameleon has cemented itself as one of the biggest gaming success stories of the year.

Meccha Chameleon is available to play now on PC via Steam.
