Once Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book<\/a> are out later this week and next month, Nintendo’s first-party roadmap is a bit of a mystery. But now two PEGI age ratings for Europe have offered a clue at what may be coming next.<\/p>\n

This last weekend, two high-profile Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> releases tentatively set for 2026 got their respective age ratings from PEGI (via My Nintendo News<\/a>), the standard European game age-rating system.<\/p>\n

First, we have Splatoon Raiders<\/a>, the mysterious spin-off of the charming third-person shooter series. It’s received a PEGI 7 rating, the same as Splatoon 3<\/a>. We’ve double-checked the Splatoon Raiders age-rating on the European eShop pages<\/a> and it’s the same.<\/p>\n

Then we have Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave<\/a>, the next entry in the long-running turn-based strategy series, which has been given a PEGI 12 rating in Europe<\/a>, like previous Fire Emblem games Three Houses and Engage.<\/p>\n

The intriguing thing about both updates is the timing: Nintendo appears to have updated them nearly at the same time. With talk of a new Star Fox being real and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time getting a remake later this year<\/a>, it’s hard not to theorise a that new big Nintendo Direct focusing on the latter half of 2026 could be around the corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Once Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book are out later this week and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-528457","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
