Good news, Daemon x Machina fans. One game that you might have missed in the earlier months of the Switch 2's lifecycle was Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion.

Since then, it's been updated multiple times with new content. Now, Marvelous and First Studio have rolled out updates 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. These updates add new bosses and a wh...
