Ubisoft is giving away its action-adventure RPG Immortals Fenyx Rising for free until Dec. 2, 2025.  Players simply have to go to the game’s store listing on Ubisoft Connect and then redeem it to be able to enjoy the game.

It’s worth noting that while Immortals Fenyx Rising is available on PlayStation 4 & 5, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Ubisoft is only handing out the game for free for PC players and only on the Ubisoft Connect launcher.

Coincidentally, the game is also part of the Ubisoft Super Heroes Sale on Steam, allowing players who want to buy it on the storefront to save 80% on the standard version of the game, and 75% on the Gold Edition of the game, with the latter including the Season Pass and additional digital content.

Immortals Fenyx Rising, while receiving great reviews, has faded away into the background due to its similarity to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one of the best games released in 2017. Despite this, the game has received a generally favorable review on Metacritic during its release and a mostly positive review on Steam, even having a very positive recent review score as of the writing of this article.

Dying Light: The Beast’s latest 1.4 update was published on Nov. 27, adding over 400 changes. Included within the patch update was the implementation of New Game+, where players can now replay Kyle’s story while keeping all gear, weapons, and character progression from the first playthrough. Enemy difficulty is increased, but the player will encounter higher-tier weapons and loot to match the challenge

Here are the full Dying Light: The Beast 1.4 update notes, according to the official blog post: 

• NEW CONTENT
  • NEW GAME+
    • You can now replay Kyle’s story in New Game+ while keeping all gear, weapons and character progression from your first playthrough.
    • Enemy difficulty is increased, but you’ll also encounter higher-tier weapons and loot to match the challenge.
    • New Game+ can be repeated multiple times – each completed run further raises the game’s difficulty level and unlocks access to even stronger and rarer weapons, as well as the toughest enemies in Castor Woods.
  • LEGEND LEVELS
    • Legend Levels is the classic Dying Light end-game progression system that extends your character beyond the main skill tree.
    • Once you reach Level 15, all earned XP is converted into Legend XP.
    • Higher difficulty settings and higher New Game+ tiers increase XP gains, so the more you challenge yourself, the faster you progress.
    • Each Legend Level grants Legend Points that you can spend on passive upgrades such as increased health, improved combat stats and stronger Beast Mode performance.
    • Every level also raises your maximum health by a fixed percentage, helping you stay competitive in higher NG+ tiers.
    • Legend Levels also introduce a large set of new rewards to unlock: 22 new weapons (melee and firearms, including vintage guns), 2 complete outfits (12 gear pieces) and new legendary vehicle skins.
  • RAY TRACING
    • Ray tracing is now available, bringing even more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections to the game, allowing you to experience our immersive and visually stunning world with enhanced atmosphere and depth.
    • How to enable ray tracing?
      • The suggested way to activate Ray Tracing is to set the Video Quality Preset in your game settings to Ultra.
      • If you need more tweaking you can also enable or disable individual Ray Tracing options in the Advanced Video Settings menu to balance performance and visual quality.
    • System requirements:
      • A Ray Tracing capable graphics card (NVIDIA RTX, AMD RX 6000/7000 series, or Intel Arc)
      • At least 8 GB of video memory
      • 16 GB recommended for 4k
    • Performance and Visuals
      • The game is designed so that all settings – from Low to Ultra – preserve the same core look and artistic style.
      • Ray Tracing improves reflections, lighting, and shadows, delivering more realistic visuals, though please note this may impact performance
      • If your system has trouble maintaining smooth performance, try selecting a preset below Ultra and tweak individual Ray Tracing settings for optimal results.
      • Please note when Ultra mode is enabled, Frame Generation is automatically turned on to improve frame rate.
    • VRR, V-Sync, and Input Latency
      • For best results, use a VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) display with a refresh rate of 60 Hz or higher. VRR may be labeled as FreeSync, G-Sync, or Adaptive Sync depending on your monitor.
      • If VRR is detected, the game automatically disables V-Sync to ensure the lowest input latency and smooth frame delivery.
      • If VRR is supported by your setup but disabled, please try to enable it in your system, driver settings or display settings. If VRR is not working still, please enable V-Sync manually in the game menu (Intel and AMD cards) or try enforcing it in the driver (Nvidia) to prevent screen tearing (if observed)
      • Note: Using Frame Generation may increase input lag, especially if V-Sync is on.
      • If controls feel delayed:
        • Enable VRR and disable V-Sync
        • Ensure Latency Reduction is enabled
        • If lag persists, disable Frame Generation or switch to a preset below Ultra
  • NEW FINISHERS
    • We’ve added 3 new finishers to give you even more varieties of bloody execution on enemies.
    • 1 for one-handed blunt weapons
    • 1 for two-handed blunt weapons
    • 1 for two-handed slasher weapons
  • CALL OF THE BEAST
    • With Update 1.4 just released, there’s never been a better time to jump into Dying Light: The Beast. New Game+, Legend Levels, a Double XP event, and an exclusive weapon waiting in your stash should already convince you to dive back in.
    • So don’t wait – team up with the Dying Light community to tackle this week’s challenge, focused entirely on executing brutal finishers on enemies.

  • Gameplay:
    • Reduced XP loss in Survival Mode through a global rebalance, with additional tuning focused on early-level XP loss and Night modifiers.
    • Streamlined early-game experience:
      • Reworked stamina curves to give players more stamina at the start of the game (total stamina remains unchanged), improving early combat encounters.
      • Added a rare weapon near the first campsite during the HUB1 quest to better reward exploration.
      • Introduced minor UI updates in the Skill Menu to make basic move sets more visible.
    • Reinforcements: adjusted reinforcement amounts when players chain noise-generating actions, especially when using firearms or explosions.

Ubisoft excluded a second expansion for Assassin’s Creed Shadows from its release plans, as was revealed by associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois in an interview with JorRaptor on Nov. 26, 2025.

“As of now, at this moment for Year Two, there is no expansion on the size of Awaji that is planned,” siad Lemay-Comtois.

On May 27, 2025, Shadows received additional content in the form of crossovers with Balatro and Dead by Daylight, including cosmetic items and a new quest, and on Sept. 16, 2025, the title got the first paid downloadable content pack for the game, titled Claws of Awaji.

Developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft, the 14th major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, is set in 16th-century Japan and focuses on the standoff between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, allowing players to control two protagonists: samurai Yasuke and shinobi Naoe.

As of the time of writing, the game is available on macOS and Windows PCs, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a version for iPadOS planned for release at a later date and Nintendo Switch 2 port is slated for launch on Dec. 2, 2025. It also has a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam, based on 21,209 reviews, and an all-time peak of 64,825 concurrent players, according to SteamDB.

Update 1.4.0 for ARC Raiders added exploit mitigation mechanisms for all locked rooms across all maps on Nov. 27, 2025.

The update landed on all platforms where the title is available, including Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The update also fixed the gun exploit that allowed players to shoot quicker than intended by swapping to a quick-use item and back.

Besides that, the exterior access to Spaceport’s Control Tower locked room has been blocked off, and Raider Voice now correctly respects the selected voice option after restarting the game.

Among other changes, Update 1.4.0 fixed the issue that sometimes caused low-resolution textures in the Main Menu, fixed players being able to push each other by jumping on each other’s backs, and also fixed lighting artifacts that would sometimes occur upon entering maps.

Developed and published by Embark Studios, the third-person PvPvE extraction shooter ARC Raiders was launched on Oct. 30, 2025.

Set in the distant future on Earth, mysterious and deadly “ARC” robots have taken over the surface, forcing humanity to live underground. The game allows players to assume the role of one of the Raiders, those who choose to go above ground, also known as “the topside,” to collect resources during short runs on the topside, which then will be sorted with the assistance of their roosters for the welfare of the underground city Speranza.

The title hit the mark of 700,000 concurrent players across all platforms and sold more than 4 million copies worldwide in less than a month since launch.

As of the time of writing, ARC Raiders has a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with 133,748 reviews. Meanwhile, on the American review aggregator Metacritic, the title’s PC version has a Metascore of 86 points based on 60 critic reviews. Its PlayStation 5 counterpart has a Metascore of 85 points based on 22 critic reviews, and the Xbox Series X version has 88 points based on 9 critic reviews and a “Generally Favorable” user score of 8.0 based on 1,046 ratings.

Starting Dec. 5, 2025, some theaters in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom will show Yuki’s Revenge as part of an exclusive limited theatrical run of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.

Brotherhood, a retro-style first-person shooter game developed by FatCatGames, is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S and the Nintendo Switch. The game is very reminiscent of classic 90s first-person shooter titles like Wolfenstein 3D, which actually inspired it.

According to the lead developer of Brotherhood, the game is their love letter to the shooters that they grew up playing. “We’ve shaped the full release based on community feedback, and we’re thrilled to finally share the complete experience with players around the world,” the lead said.

The press release mentioned the following as the game’s key features:

• 24 large, labyrinth-style levels across six distinct acts, including a brutal prison break, secret laboratories, scorching deserts, an ancient fortress, and more.
• Classic old-school FPS combat: fast movement, tight gunplay, medkit-based healing, ammo management, keycards, upgrades, and plenty of secrets.
• 20+ unique enemy types, each designed to pressure the player differently — from swarming melee fighters to ranged mutants.
• Mutagen abilities combined with a diverse arsenal to push through overwhelming odds.
• Significant improvements from demo and early community feedback, including refined gameplay flow, updated visuals, enhanced sound, and extensive polishing.

As of the writing of this article, Brotherhood is available for purchase for $10. The game has no multiplayer and does not require a powerful PC to run. The game is also FatCatGames’ debut title.

Destiny 2: Renegades is planned to launch on Dec. 2, 2025, with the Shattered Cycle and The Alchemist expansions slated for release in summer and winter 2026, respectively.

• The Pikers – an anarchist and atheist biker gang of Eliksni seeking to build a society free from traditional ranks and hierarchy
• Tharsis Reformation – a breakaway sect of sentient Vex, driven by a desire to experience personal identity outside the Vex collective
• Totality Division – a rogue branch of the Barant Imperium Cabal, operating as a Syndicate on Mars and ruled by psions

Players will be able to complete multiple job types for Syndicates, including Smuggling runs to transport valuable goods between Syndicate facilities, Bounty Hunts that track and eliminate high-value targets and Sabotage operations that disrupt rival Syndicate strongholds.

Lawless Frontier features new maps set on Mars, Europa and Venus, along with the new Invasion mode, an opt-in feature that allows a Guardian to spawn into the playing field to disrupt progress and earn unique rewards.

The game will also see the addition of a new dungeon, Equilibrium, which is slated for release on Dec. 13, 2025.

The game is available on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
