Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is set to launch on July 2 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and PC via Steam.
Gameplay Group International and PM Studios’ 1v1 2D fighting game based on the phenomenally popular animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, is priced $29.99, and will feature crossplay at launch.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is described as being “rooted in the spirit of elemental mastery.” Its official blurb continues: “Designed for both newcomers and veterans, it channels the energy of classic fighting games while breaking new ground in movement, style, and combat expression. Built with a focus on fluidity, responsiveness, and online integrity, the game invites players to...

PUBG: Blindspot is closing down later today (March 30) after just 53 days, meaning it won't leave early access.
The 5v5 top-down tactical shooter built on "clever positioning, tight teamwork, and shared vision," only launched on February 5, but despite the PUBG branding and being free-to-play, developer Arc Team said it had "come to the conclusion that we are no longer able to sustainably provide the level of experience we set out to deliver through Early Access."
"We place player experience at the center of every decision we make, and it is based on that principle that we have made this decision," ARC Team's Sequoia Yang said. "As a result, PUBG: Blindspot Early Access service will come to an end on Monday, March 30." As the update...
Invincible VS has confirmed Conquest as the 18th playable character in the upcoming 3v3 tag fighting game, completing the launch roster.
With the April 30 release date coming up, Skybound Entertainment and developer Quarter Up also revealed open beta information and the first two DLC characters. The open beta runs on consoles April 9-11, with three modes available (Tutorial, Practice and Ranked), and there's a bonus Omni-Man skin for all participants. Quarter Up said the first two DLC characters, Universa and the Immortal, arrive this summer.
Here’s the official blurb on Conquest, who anyone up to date with the Prime Video Invincible show will know well:
In gameplay terms, Conquest is considered a ‘Striker,’ which means he can...
Darwin's Paradox! really taps into the joy and simplicity of a fun cartoon for its quirky alien invasion adventure. With a simple setup of an octopus clumsily trying to survive on land, it gives way to some wacky, slapstick platforming encounters that totally capture the fun, charming vibe of a Saturday morning cartoon. Developer ZDT Studio offers up a plucky puzzle-platformer that carries a lot of energy, but it often struggles to maintain those good times when it gets hung up on overly long, clunky encounters that drag down this otherwise fun jaunt.
Set in a stylized cartoon world that feels in step with Pixar's Finding Nemo, Darwin's Paradox! follows a clever and oddly lucky octopus who is thrust into increasingly zany encounters...
Crimson Desert has hit a new Steam concurrent player peak during its second weekend, after another game-changing update brought a raft of improvements to the open world action adventure.
Developer Pearl Abyss released update 1.01.00 (patch notes, courtesy of Steam, are below) this morning, sparking excitement within the Crimson Desert community as a number of significant changes kicked into gear. For example, the patch added five summonable mounts (the lack of summonable mounts was a big criticism in the wake of the game’s release), decreased loading times for fast travel and revival, and improved the controls further. But these are just a few examples of the positive changes — the patch includes a long list of pretty meaningful tweaks...

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is also live this weekend, so check out our full roundup for even more deals.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach for $29.99
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for the PlayStation 5 just dropped to $29.99 as part of the Amazon Spring Sale. Previously, the lowest we've seen physical PS5 copies was $49.99, so this marks a new low price. DS2 has hundreds of hours of content with an incredible narrative, extensive gameplay mechanics, and much more. Enter Australia as Sam Porter...
Heads up: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for the PlayStation 5 just dropped to $29.99. This is the best video game deal right now during the Amazon Spring Sale and beats out the $49.99 price I saw during Black Friday. I played and beat DS2 right after it came out. It might not appeal to everyone, but this was my top #2 game of 2025. From the "nonsensical" story to the "grind" of delivery packages - I loved every minute of it.
Update: If Amazon is out of stock, you can get it for the same price at Best Buy.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for PS5
Death Stranding 2 resumes the story of Sam Porter in his ongoing mission to deliver packages for a greater good while taking care of his newly adopted kid, Lou. The epic story is absolutely...
A classic Nintendo handheld turned 25 this week amidst an ongoing bust-up about the very future of graphics tech, an anniversary that reminds us how hollow the pursuit of ever increasing graphical fidelity is when all the post-processed path tracing in the world can’t make the driving in Cyberpunk 2077 feel as good as V-Rally 3 on the Game Boy Advance.
Look at it. Squeezing every bit of horsepower out of the GBA’s dinky 16MHz processor, a system explicitly designed to run sprite-based 2D games, V-Rally 3 represents an incredible feat of software engineering: a fully 3D racer conjured from textured polygons, clever art direction, and three entire volts of copper-topped power. This was damn close to PS1 quality gaming you could enjoy on...
A new weekend has arrived, and today, you can save big on Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Code Vein II, My Hero Academia: All's Justice, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, LEGO R2-D2, and more. Check out our top picks for Saturday, March 28, below.
Amazon's Big Spring Sale is also live this weekend, so check out our full roundup for even more deals.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for $24.99
As its name implies, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake utilizes Square Enix's HD-2D art style, which looks absolutely incredible. The blend of modern art design with crisp 2D sprites is endlessly charming, and the lighting systems in place really do wonders. Despite being the third game in the series, it is recommended that players begin with Dragon Quest...
Aside from enjoying a well-earned status as one of the best open-world RPGs money can buy, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games bring something else to the table: they feel authentic. Not just historically inspired, but genuinely palpably real, a grounded depiction of medieval life from a period that sits many hundreds of years in the rear-view mirror.
From the design of the weapons and armour, to the gorgeously realised landscape of medieval Bohemia, it often felt as though developer Warhorse Studios had a veritable finger on the pulse of what it might have been like to walk those roads and take part in conflicts that unfolded more than six hundred years ago.
And though I still maintain there aren’t nearly enough games that take a...

1996 was a red-letter year for the art of speedrunning. Four years after Doom sparked the scene and months before Quake turned it into a global community, Resident Evil arrived to reward dedicated players for a different kind of virtuosity, one that valued planning, routing, and a deep understanding of the mansion’s layout.
Unlockable rocket launchers weren’t the only incentive to clear the intimidating, labyrinth-like Spencer Mansion as fast as possible. In an era where memory cards cost extra, plenty of people tackled this haunted house in a single sitting out of necessity, learning speedrunning without even realizing it. You had to find the most efficient route to beat the game before your folks needed the TV to watch Suddenly...
Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion is a life-or-death slash course in scarcity that wrote a genre’s rulebook in blood and ink ribbons. It’s a clockwork crucible made of stairways and statues that demands mastery to unlock, and its interior was scratched into our cerebellums from the second S.T.A.R.S. slammed shut the front doors.
When Resident Evil launched in 1996 there wasn’t a name for what it was trying to be yet. Capcom’s marketing wizards coined the instantly immortal term “survival horror,” but the average PlayStation owner had no idea what that meant, their gaming tastes firmly rooted in power fantasy and forward momentum. And so Resident Evil suddenly had to walk us through complex ideas like route optimization, bottomless item...
Pragmata Contains a Stage That's a 'Fake New York Generated by AI,' but It's Entirely Made by Humans
It seems like every few weeks, we're finding out about another developer using generative AI to create assets for their games, or at least strongly considering it. So I'm pretty intrigued at the latest interview from the dev team behind Pragmata, wherein they said they're hand-crafting one of the levels in the game to look like it was AI-generated, despite it being fully made by humans.
This comes from an interview published by 4Gamer and translated by Automaton, which has director Cho Yonghee and producer Naoto Oyama from Capcom talking about Pragmata's New York City-like stage, which was designed intentionally to feel AI-generated to the player. (You can see some snippets of this stage in the trailer below.)
“For Pragmata, we set...
Neil Newbon's performance as Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 is among the most memorable in the game, and that's saying a lot given how many amazing actors are in there cooking. And Newbon's rightfully proud of the good work he did as Astarion - but, inspired by David Bowie, he's not interested in rehashing that performance again and again.
In an interview with FRVR, Newbon talks about how Bowie was one of his early childhood influences, along with Iggy Pop. “Yes, I think there’s definitely a Bowie rhythm in me. I’d love to play him in Labyrinth or love to do a biopic of him," he said, adding that he would “definitely play Jareth in Labyrinth if someone came at me with that."
He says one of the lessons he's taken from Bowie is that...
Crimson Desert’s story has become the subject of criticism ever since Pearl Abyss’ sprawling open world action adventure launched last week. While some players are perfectly happy treating Crimson Desert as more of a sandbox game than a story-driven adventure, most agree that the actual plot, storyline, and characters leave a lot to be desired.
It turns out, Pearl Abyss CEO Heo Jin-young agrees that Crimson Desert’s story could have been better. South Korean media have reported on a Q&A session following Pearl Abyss’ regular general shareholders' meeting held at the company's headquarters in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province on March 27, and there Heo Jin-young answered shareholder’s criticism that Crimson Desert lacks a storyline.
"I...
Resident Evil's unofficial lore master has weighed in with his thoughts on Resident Evil Requiem, which adds a sizable new chapter filled with story revelations to Capcom's veteran horror franchise.
If you aren't aware of TheBatman, you should be. The architect of an exhaustive timeline document that charts all Resident Evil lore (beginning around 4.5 billion years ago), TheBatman seems to know more about the series and its characters than anyone else on the planet.
His timeline now extends to a series of pdf documents arranged in date order, covering the series' events from pre-history up to 2020, with fresh additions to come. Already, the full project runs to thousands of pages, with information sourced from across the series'...
Sniper Elite and Atomfall developer Rebellion has announced Alien Deathstorm, a first-person shooter with otherworldly weather and deadly creatures.
This atmospheric title made its debut during the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview today. Along with a sneak peek at the harsh conditions threatening player survival, its reveal trailer comes with the promise to see it launch for Xbox on PC, Cloud, and Xbox Series X | S, as well as Game Pass, at an unspecified point in the future. It's also due out on PC via Steam and PlayStation 5.
Rebellion is heading to uncharted, extraterrestrial territory, but Alien Deathstorm is only the studio’s latest stab at a first-person adventure. Last year, it released its post-apocalyptic action RPG...
As players get further into the sprawling Crimson Desert, they’re finding new ways to play around in its gargantuan open world and with the many, many mechanics and systems. One way in which fans have found fun is to play Crimson Desert like it’s a cat sim, with some even honoring the memory of their IRL cats who passed away.
If you’re keeping tabs on Crimson Desert, you’ve probably seen the viral screenshots of cats dressed up in armor, or players surrounded by cats. It's adorable.
One player, ButeosDolichovespula, took this to the next level by gathering an army of cats — 30 strong! — while adventuring in Pywell.
Warning! Spoilers for Crimson Desert follow:
For the uninitiated, building a cat army like this requires a lot of...
You can't suplex a giant gorilla.
A nonsense statement in almost any game except Crimson Desert. But Pearl Abyss' open-world romp combines one of the broadest combat systems ever – you can clothesline enemies, body slam them, punch them, kick them, shield bash and stab them, shoot them, blind them, hoist them with a magic grappling hook and call on a supernatural "echo" to replicate your attacks, all in one fight – with a parade of varied bosses, including the hairy beast Kearush the Slayer, that are often invulnerable to at least some of those moves.
I've tinkered with and reset the skill tree several times. Individually Crimson Desert's abilities are nothing special but I've grown to love the chaos that erupts when disparate styles...
Resident Evil Requiem has been updated today with a major new patch that adds the game's photo mode, plus other improvements.
Capcom had previously announced a photo mode was coming to Requiem as the first of the game's major post-launch additions, though had not said when it would arrive. Happily, the offering is now available today, with a new update that's available across PC and consoles right now.
Accessible via the pause menu, Requiem's photo mode lets you adjust field of view, foreground and background blur, focus distance, character pose, expression, eye position, brightness, contrast, vignette, bloom, lens distortion and chromatic aberration. You can also add frames, stickers and various filters.
Other additions in today's...
All of Forza Horizon 5’s remaining time-limited bonus cars have today been added to its store, where they can be purchased with in-game vouchers.
Forza Horizon 5’s Festival Playlist system previously added new, free cars to the game every week since the game’s Xbox and PC launch in November 2021. However, while the cars were free, they were admittedly only ever available for a limited time – and required players to complete a series of events or challenges over the course of a week (or month) to earn. The themed, monthly Festival Playlists began to be repeated in early 2025, giving us a chance to collect cars we may have missed previously. We’ve also been able to unlock some of them from a curated selection of rare cars voted for by...
Game engine maker Unity, whose tech powers many games, from 2025 hits like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Peak to anticipated 2026 offerings like Mouse: P.I. for Hire and Replaced (both of which are due out next month), announced its preliminary Q1 financial results today. The company expects to beat forecasts, with revenue anticipated to be between $505m and $508m, above the $480m-$490m guidance. Adjusted EBITDA, meanwhile (which is a measure of profitability), is expected to land in the $130m-$135m range, above the guided figure of $105m-$110m. This amounts to 58% year-over-year growth.
According to SteamDB, more than 8500 games powered by Unity were published to Steam in each of the past two years. Recent notable games that have been...
Borderlands 4 has had a rollercoaster six months. Since launching in September last year, Gearbox’s looter shooter has suffered various controversies, mostly to do with severe PC performance issues. Outspoken CEO Randy Pitchford went on the offensive, responding directly to complaints on social media to Claptrap back at disgruntled fans. Strauss Zelnick, boss of Gearbox parent company Take-Two, said Borderlands 4 sales suffered “a little bit of softness” as a result of the technical issues, but expressed confidence “it’ll all be made up” given enough time. All the while, Borderlands 4 remains on a ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam. After launching to over 300,000 concurrent players on Valve’s platform, Borderlands 4 now averages a...
Goofy co-op puzzle-platformer Frog Sqwad has a new trailer, new platforms, and a narrowed release window of June 2026.
The amphibious slapstick adventure showed up to refine its launch schedule during the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview livestream today. New footage reminds players of the antics that will ensue when up to eight players use their elastic tongues to gather food for The Swamp King when it comes to PC, Xbox Cloud, Xbox Series X | S, and Game Pass this summer.
Frog Sqwad plopped into players’ minds when developer Panic Stations formally announced it for PC in December 2025. Videos of its physics-based chaos have teased yet another addition to a string of games that have encouraged players to goof around for the last few...
Bluey’s Happy Snaps will soon let gaming fans see a classic cartoon from a new perspective when it launches fall 2026.
The titular blue heeler and her sister, Bingo, both showed up with a new video game during the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview today. Its trailer shows how fans of the show capture special moments and gather collectibles when it launches for PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S.
Bluey’s Happy Snaps is only the latest entry in what has become a string of installments in the Bluey universe. Originally launched as an animated show from creator Joe Brumm in 2018, the series has attracted global attention thanks to its mix of touching moments and a sense of humor...
As fans of The Expanse know, the setting is grounded in science. The Expanse authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck have been praised for creating a universe that at least makes an effort to make sense in the context of our understanding of physics, and the TV show based upon it does the same.
Part of this is how The Expanse handles space travel. In the setting, a drug cocktail known as “The Juice” is used to help people cope with the stress of high G maneuvers required for space travel. The Juice is injected into occupants sitting on Crash Couches. But beyond that, space travel takes a realistic amount of time in The Expanse, typically days to months depending on your start and end point, acceleration and fuel efficiency.
Owlcat’s...
Not-so-cozy farming sim Grave Seasons has locked down a release date of August 14, 2026, for PC and consoles with its new trailer.
Publisher Blumhouse Games and developer Perfect Garbage showed up for the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview livestream to remind viewers of its grim twist on a small-town story. Along with its new late-summer release date, today’s trailer tells fans they’ll soon be able to check out a demo ahead of its full launch for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and Game Pass.
Blumhouse Games, an offshoot of Jason Blum’s horror movie production company that is focused on interactive entertainment, announced Grave Seasons alongside a collection of other new video games in June 2024. Where...
Dispatch, the hit superhero workplace comedy game, will finally land on Xbox consoles this summer.
As announced during today's Xbox Partner Preview showcase, Dispatch is coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud at some point in the summer months (though a specific date was not mentioned).
There was no mention, either, of Dispatch landing into Xbox Game Pass, which a shame. Still, the laugh-out-loud superpowered adventure is well worth a look anyway, as you send a team of reformed misfits out to save the world, and each other.
Dispatch originally launched on PC and PlayStation 5 last October, with episodic chapters releasing weekly. The game then turned up on Switch and Switch 2 in January to no small amount of...
The brilliant Hades 2 is finally coming to Xbox next month, and will be available from launch via Xbox Game Pass.
Supergiant's critically-acclaimed sequel will arrive on April 14 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud, as announced during Microsoft's Xbox Partner Preview broadcast today.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will gain access to the game on the same date, and the title will also support Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning you can continue your progress across platforms.
Hades 2's launch on Xbox has been a long time coming, as it first arrived for PC in early access back in May 2024. Following the launch of several major updates, the game released fully last September, at which point it also arrived for Nintendo Switch and...
