It's really weird and borderline amazing that we've still yet to see much of any gameplay from Swansong, yet it is coming out next week. That is unless you go on YouTube. A strange lack of hype from the publisher for the game at the very least.
I'll wait to read some reviews first to see if I purchase or not Swanson, but this game seem to be exactly my cup of tea
Swansong isn’t coming out until June 14th…or at least the physical copy of the game isn’t from what I’ve seen at GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon 🤔.
The only one that really interests me is Swansong, but for that one I'm awaiting the reviews. Dolmen looks like it's far to difficult for me even though I like action rpgs my experience with the ones without difficulty slider isn't that good haha, so I'll stay away from it.
@jkiser32 Yeah Physical for smaller publishers like Nacon usually launch around a month or so after the Digital version which is May 19th.
Edit - Looks like in the UK the Physical is out on May 19th so maybe just a delay for the Physical in North America?
