It’s an excellent time to be a gamer. If you’re an old gamer who played through the classics, everyone’s favorites from way back when are getting much-awaited remastered versions. Plus, gamers who might have missed them the first time around will finally get a chance to play them on modern systems. Ubisoft is adding to the nostalgia train by releasing a remastered version of Beyond Good and Evil.

Stemming from an era before the iconic Assassin’s Creed franchise, Beyond Good and Evil is a certified classic from Ubisoft’s vault of past games. The title features Jade, an investigative journalist, as she uncovers an alien conspiracy in the planet of Hillys during the year 2435.

In terms of gameplay, Beyond Good and Evil mixes puzzle-solving, stealth, and combat together in a story-based experience. In combination with the story, the title is easily considered one of the best classic gaming experiences of all time.

Today, Ubisoft has announced that the game is getting a remastered version for its 20th anniversary. The edition will drop on all platforms starting June 25. Additionally, it will also get a physical release starting July 12.

While the game will remain the same, it will also feature new content such as concept art and a rerecorded soundtrack. It will also up the graphical capabilities to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.

Unfortunately, while the remastered version is a big win for classic gamers, there is still no news about the sequel, which was confirmed several years ago.

For every beloved anime franchise, there will always come a time when the only thing left to do is to pit all of its characters inside a fighting game. So far, it’s happened with Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia, and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Soon, Avatar: The Last Airbender is joining the fight. An official fighting game is coming.

Announced during New York Comic Con, the upcoming title, temporarily called Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, will pit the franchise’s most powerful characters against each other. According to the Steam page, the game’s launch will see 12 initial characters for gamers to fight with. More characters will then come afterward through a seasonal model. From the trailer, we can already confirm Aang, Korra, Toph, Sokka, Azula, Katara, and Zuko.

Importantly, the game will use 2D drawn animation. Its style will thankfully look similar to the original series. It will also feature special powers using something the developers call a “flow system.” And characters will get swappable support characters to bolster their powers.

It will feature a single-player campaign featuring an original narrative.

It’s all currently vague because the game is in pre-alpha development. However, Gameplay Group International, the game’s developers, has already confirmed a release date window during the summer of next year. It will launch on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam.
