“This is wrong, and we have not made any additional plans for December 2022. We will not be releasing another port this year.” Yes, it’s a parody of the infamous Alpine F1 statement, but still serious. What’s odd is that Baker didn’t say the Xbox version was coming in December.

He tweeted, “Well, I didn’t say it was coming in December. Just that it’s coming. The December part was mentioned as pure speculation based on the PS4/5 port being announced. But I guess thanks for semi-confirming the Xbox Port!” Again, this doesn’t confirm or deny that an Xbox version is releasing. If there are plans for the same, more details are likely coming next year.

In the meantime, Neon White launches on December 13th for PlayStation. It runs at 120 Hz on PS5 throughout and supports the DualSense’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, providing a unique feel to each Soul Card. Furthermore, gyroscope aiming is also supported along with reduced loading times. Stay tuned for more details on the title, especially since it’s nominated for The Game Awards 2022.

We understand that, without our agreement, XboxEra have put out a podcast yesterday that we are bringing Neon White to Xbox later this month. This is wrong and we have not made any additional plans for December 2022. We will not be releasing another port this year.

Developed by Angel Matrix, Neon White is about an assassin named White who, along with other assassins competes for a chance to live in Heaven. While the story may be hit or miss, it’s the gameplay that counts. Players have different weapons, portrayed as Soul Cards. However, Soul Cards can be discarded for parkour moves, depending on the need.

You may need that SMG to shoot enemies but then sacrifice it to Stomp through a weak floor. On PS5, Neon White runs at 120 Hz and has reduced loading times thanks to the SSD. It also supports haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, with each Soul Card having a unique feel. Gyroscope aiming is available for finer control.

Neon White has garnered significant critical acclaim and nominated in three categories at The Game Awards – Best Indie, Best Debut Indie, and Best Action Game. Stay tuned for more details when it releases on PS4 and PS5.

Annapurna Interactive’s Donut County is already bound for the Xbox One after releasing for iOS, PS4, and PC. However, it seems that the strange puzzler from Ben Esposito is coming to the Nintendo Switch as well. It releases on December 18th for both Xbox One and Switch, and will cost $12.99.

What is Donut County though? It essentially focuses on a quirky cast of characters, including some shady racoons, as the player manipulates a hole that goes around swallowing everything. The core mechanic is figuring out what to suck into the hole first as it grows in size and eventually consumes everything in that particular level.

It may sound ridiculous – and the plot itself is pretty weird on its own – but the trailer below should explain things better. Donut County received some fairly good reviews when it first released – user reviews on the Steam page are hovering around “Very Positive”. How will the action translate over to Switch? We’ll find out next week.
