Most visceral and intense gameplay yet

Ubisoft has officially released “From the Ashes”, the new expansion for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

This darker chapter features the Ravaged Kinglor Forest region in the Western Frontier, plus a new sub-region, The Ravines.

The expansion is now available on Ubisoft+, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games, and Steam.

It is available as a standalone purchase. Players can opt for the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the Ashes Edition, which includes the base game, the expansion and bonus content.

Players can already enjoy a major free title update for the main game of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

The expansion launches on the same day as the theatrical release of Avatar: Fire and Ashthe third installment in James Cameron’s blockbuster film saga.

Na’vi versus Na’vi

From the Ashes follows the story of So’lek. He is a battle‑hardened Na’vi warrior whose path collides with a fearsome warband of Mangkwan raiders, otherwise known as the Ash Clan.

This marks a decisive turn toward Na’vi-versus-Na’vi conflict. Years before these events, So’lek clashed with Wukula, the Mangkwan warrior. This brutal encounter left Wukula scarred and vengeful.

The warband’s ranks also include Zari, a deadly sniper trained by Recom Lyle Wainfleet. She stalks So’lek from the shadows, armed with human weaponry and RDA gear, as she tries to surpass her brother Wukula.

In the third movie, the Mangkwan are a Na’vi tribe that reject Eywa, introduced as new characters. This adds to the layers of conflict in a narrative driven by Jake Sully and his arch-nemesis, Col. Miles Quaritch.

Most intense gameplay yet

Gameplay wise, From the Ashes introduces bold new experiences that elevate both combat and exploration.

For the first time, players will engage in Na’vi-versus-Na’vi battles, facing Mangkwan raiders. This is much similar to how the plot of third film unravels.

The gameplay focuses on the Mangkwan’s unique fighting styles, aerial combat, long-distance sniping, and more aspects.

Fittingly, the expansion also adds new RDA units, including specialized AMP suit variants for RPG, sniper, and shotgun warfare. This creates dynamic challenges across ground and aerial combat.

Players have the option to switch between first and third-person perspectives in the most visceral and intense gameplay yet on Pandora.

Tales of Berseria Remastered

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Tales of Berseria Remastered is out now. It’s available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The remaster brings back the 2016 action RPG with visual and quality-of-life upgrades tailored for current-generation platforms. A new launch trailer accompanies the release. It offers a fresh look at Velvet’s journey, her party members, and her fateful clash with Altorius.

In celebration of the launch, fans in Southeast Asia can join an exclusive giveaway for a chance to win signed memorabilia from their favorite cast member. Details are available via Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia’s official Facebook and Instagram pages. A special video featuring the voice cast has also been released as part of the festivities.

A revenge story returns

Originally released in 2016, Tales of Berseria stood out as the first entry in the long-running franchise to feature a solo female protagonist. Players step into the role of Velvet. Her once gentle nature gives way to a burning desire for revenge after the death of her younger brother.

The remastered edition preserves the emotional weight of that story while refining the experience for modern hardware. Players can now toggle enemy encounters in fields and dungeons and view clearer destination icons for smoother navigation. The familiar Grade Shop is also unlocked from the start, allowing for a more flexible playthrough.

More than 70 pieces of DLC from the original release are included, ranging from character outfits inspired by previous Tales titles to helpful equipment for early adventures.

Game editions and bonuses

Tales of Berseria Remastered is available in both physical and digital formats. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game, a Battle BGM pack, a digital artbook and soundtrack, and a Super Growth Support Herb Set.

Early purchasers and pre-order customers receive the Super Adventuring Assistance Set, which includes Apple Gel x10, Grape Gel x10, Life Bottle x10, and Panacea Bottle x10.

Physical copies also feature a reversible inlay with two different cover designs.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will launch in 2027

The region is based on Southeast Asia.

Published

on

The tenth generation of Pokémon is here! Kicking off the franchise’s celebration for thirty successful years, The Pokémon Company announced the next mainline games: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.

The announcement trailer started with a nostalgic reminiscing of a Pikachu across all the different generations over the years. A sudden knock on the door breaks the protagonist’s reminiscing. At the door are two Pikachu dressed in vacation clothes, standing outside a beach house on stilts.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves isn’t just another trip to another roaring urban-to-rural region. Rather, the generation’s yet-unnamed region wants you to take a vacation in a place inspired by Southeast Asia.

Because of its tropical locale, a lot of the Pokémon featured are more nature- and animal-based. You won’t see a lot of the newer creatures inspired by objects here.

The region will also have a variety of biomes including a forest, a beach, and even an underground volcanic section. And, making a comeback for the first time in years, there will seemingly be an underwater biome filled with aquatic Pokémon.

Highlighting the new generation are three new starter Pokémon: Browt, the Grass-type bird Pokémon; Pombon, the Fire-type dog Pokémon; and Gecqua, the Water-type gecko Pokémon.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
