Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has garnered some pretty positive reception since its release in 2023, with numerous updates providing more content and quality-of-life improvements, and graphics that stand as some of the best in the business.

If you were perhaps hoping to see Avatar on the Switch 2, however, then you might want to just temper your expectations somewhat. According to a brief interview at FRVR, Ubisoft currently has no plans to bring the game to Nintendo’s new console.

Guess who reclaimed pole position.

We’ve got our latest look at the UK physical gaming charts and, rather expectedly, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has taken quite the tumble from its bronze-medal debut last week.

Samus’ latest now finds itself in 15th position, with the top 10 awash with Switch and Switch 2 titles as we approach the holidays. Mario Kart World reclaimed pole position (shock, horror), followed by EA SPORTS FC 26 and Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has somehow popped back up to fifth, and both Donkey Kong Bananza and Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 have snuck back into the top 10 too.

Following The Game Awards 2025, which was full of Switch 2 announcements, we’ve given this list a big overhaul and combined the Switch1 and Switch 2 games we’re most excited for in one big list. Enjoy!

Sanity is for the weak!

Warhammer, I have to say, is something that I’ve only come to really appreciate properly in recent times. I was never particularly bothered until I picked up a big starter pack of wee guys and big monsters to paint (y’know, for my kids), and then a proper, no-holds-barred addiction set in.

I needed lore. I needed more! And so video games, as ever, have ended up being a very important part in my journey, and this time it’s a journey towards a deep understanding of Warhammer. Something like that. Anyway, in short, I’ve been banging through your Warhammer Boltguns and Mechanicuses (Mechanici?) in order to get myself all up to pub-chat levels of knowing stuff about the franchise.
