The Standard Editions of Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered just includes the base game, but at $20 is reasonable value for how much is on offer here.

Retro game remasters are a dime a dozen these days, but with good reason. They're the perfect opportunity for fans of the originals to revisit their old favorites with modern design sensibilities or quality-of-life features, and they aim to introduce new audiences to games that pioneered genres and gave rise to iconic characters. These Tomb Raider remasters achieve exactly that, offering the first six titles in the series. The Tomb Raider franchise jump-started the action platformer genre and inspired games like Naughty Dog's Uncharted games. They all come with updated visuals and performance enhancements in addition to their mechanical improvements.

For physical game collectors, both of these Deluxe Editions are beautifully packaged, and despite their oversized nature, they don't take up too much space. The height and width of the boxes are slightly larger than regular game cases, so they should fit on your game shelf just fine. The glossy gold and brown colors really help the boxes pop, and at this price, they are great premium items for any fan of the series.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Day One Edition

$40 (was $50)

See at Amazon

You can get Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Day One Edition for a small discount thanks to this early Black Friday deal at Amazon. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions are both currently $40, saving you $10 off the game's original $50 price. This is the lowest price we've seen for the game, making it a good deal for a title that's only a few months old. After you've checked out the Wuchang deal below, be sure to hit up GameSpot's Black Friday hub for even more savings on video games, toys, hardware, and beyond.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Day One Edition $40 (was $50)

Along with the full game and physical box, the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Day One Edition also comes with a few useful in-game bonuses. These come inside the box as a DLC download code voucher, which you can redeem at any time. Here's what you'll get:

• White Spectre Enhanced Costume Set
• Night Spectre Enhanced Costume Set
• Vermillion War Club Weapon
• Glistening Red Mercury Skill Upgrade Item

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a game filled to the brim with content, so this new low price is definitely a good way to jump in for the first time, especially if you prefer physical media. The Day One Edition bonuses are a nice inclusion to an already quality Soulslike experience. We scored the Soulslike action game an 8 in our review back when it released this past July. The game offers numerous customization options and multiple ways to engage in combat. Unlike other Soulslikes, dying plays a crucial role in both the mechanics and narrative in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, thanks to the Madness mechanic. You gain Madness by killing enemies or dying, and unlock different abilities the more you have. So instead of just setting you back and dropping some currency after you die, slowly build up Madness. At 100% Madness, you deal more damage--but take more damage, too--and if you die in this state, you'll be reset. It's a high-risk, high-reward system that sets it apart from other Soulslikes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate - Deluxe Edition

$25 (was $40)

See at Amazon

Two of the coolest things in life are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the critically acclaimed video game Hades. So what happens when you merge the two? You get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, a fun Hades-like game that also happens to be on sale for Black Friday this year. Normally $40 for this Deluxe Edition, you can get this for $25 and raise some shell with your friends as you take on the Foot Clan and Shredder across the sewers of New York City.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate - Deluxe Edition $25 (was $40)

The Deluxe Edition of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate includes the game, a physical pack of 10 foil trading cards, the Casey Jones DLC that adds the infamous vigilante as a playable character (Goongalah!), new enemies, bosses, and access to the upcoming Junkyard Jam DLC pack.

A game that wears its Hades influence proudly on its sleeve, TMNT: Splintered Fate features all the hallmarks of a roguelike game. Across its levels, you'll take on enemies, encounter familiar faces, and power up along the way for a final boss fight.

Death is a constant companion, but every time you restart a run, you do so with experience that helps you nail a perfect deathless adventure. Each Turtle has a unique arsenal of weapons and skills, and you can combine them to devastating effect in the game's co-op mode.

• PS4
• Switch
• Xbox Series X

"It’s easy to reduce Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate down to just a Hades clone with a TMNT skin, as I did previously. And while that description is pretty accurate, the sentiment doesn't convey that a well-done take on a fantastic game can be a lot of fun. While the art and story don’t come near the lofty heights of Hades, it is nevertheless a blast to bash heads as one of the titular turtles, especially when you have friends fighting at your side," Steve Watts wrote in GameSpot's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate review.

While this Black Friday deal is a great chance to pick up the Deluxe Edition of the game, fans can also preorder the Splintered Fate Pipin' Hot Collector's Edition ahead of its December 5 launch. This $100 physical edition comes with numerous extras, including everything from the Deluxe Edition, plus a pizza box storage case, tabletop RPG dice with a mutagenic ooze aesthetic, a NYC sewer manhole cover dice box, a 50-page art book and retro manual, and a double-sided metallic coin.

EA Sports FC 26

$35 on all consoles

See at Amazon

Amazon's Black Friday deals continue to drop early. Physical versions of EA Sports FC 26 are available at a nice discount after only having just launched a few months ago. The PS4, PS5, Switch, and Switch 2 versions of the game are all currently down to $35. The Switch version is usually listed for $60, while the other three are typically $70. You'll notice that Xbox versions of the game are absent from this list, as they aren't included in the Black Friday sales for the time being. While annual sports games don't typically hold value long after release, a steep discount like this so soon after launch is a welcome deal. The discounts only apply to the standard editions of the game, but the upshot is these versions include the digital pre-order bonuses. The Switch 2 version is notably on a Game-Key Card, meaning none of the game data is on the physical cart, so you'll have to download it onto your console before you can play.

As part of Amazon's Black Friday deals this year, you can get multiple physical versions of Hello Kitty Island Adventure at new discounted prices. Both the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game are currently down to $25, saving you $15 off the original price of $40. Then there's the Nintendo Switch-exclusive Hello Kitty Island Adventure Gift Box, now available for $50 (was $16), a welcome deal considering it was just released earlier this month. This version includes the Deluxe Edition of the game and a selection of other collectibles, which are detailed below.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure $25 (was $40)

The Hello Kitty Island Adventure standard edition comes with the base game. The PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game are the same price, so you can't really go wrong with which edition you pick. However, there are pros and cons to both; the PS5 version will undoubtedly run more smoothly than the Switch Version, but the Switch version has the advantage of being able to play in handheld mode.

Lego F1 Collectible Race Car 6-Pack

$17.78 (was $30)

See at Amazon See at Walmart Sold out at Target See at Walmart

The minifigure version of Lego's Formula 1 Racing series is on sale for an all-time low price ahead of Black Friday 2025. Over at Amazon, racing fans can snag Lego F1 Collectible Race Car 6-Packs for only $17.78 (was $30). Amazon is matching a deal that first popped up at Target, but Target is currently sold out. We wouldn't expect this offer to stick around at Amazon for long, so collectors should try to complete the series for cheap while they can. As a backup option, Walmart is selling the mystery boxes for $19.48.

The mystery box comes with six random cars from the collection (174 pieces total). Each car is sealed in its own smaller mystery box, so you have six surprises to unwrap. This also makes it a good stocking stuffer idea for multiple Lego fans or kids. You’re very unlikely to get a duplicate from the same box, but you will inevitably have duplicates if you try to complete the 12-car collection by purchasing multiple boxes.

Formula 1 fans can also save big on the larger Lego Speed Champions F1 Race Cars and Lego City F1 Playsets at Amazon.

Ubisoft was working on a new Splinter Cell game that was going to embrace games-as-a-service before it shifted to become XDefiant, a game that the publisher shut down not long after release. This is according to Nick Herman, a developer who worked on the game before leaving to start AdHoc Studios, the team that just launched the episodic game Dispatch to great success. Following the publication of this report, XDefiant director Mark Rubin spoke out to react to the report and share his side of the story.

"I was so excited to be a part of this and help revitalize it, because it's been dormant for a while," Herman said told Bloomberg. "And we thought we could tell a great story and do something the fans would love."

The game was in development "for a few months," Bloomberg reported, and Herman confirmed that Ubisoft wanted to have it feature games-as-a-service elements.

Batman: The Arkham Saga Omnibus (1,648 Pages)

Batman: The Arkham Saga Omnibus is on sale for nearly 50% off at Amazon ahead of Black Friday 2025. The limited-time deal drops the price of DC Comics' enormous 1,648-page hardcover book to only $81.25 (was $150). This doorstopper collects a treasure trove of comic book stories set in the world of the Arkham video games. If you love Rocksteady's Arkham Trilogy--and Arkham Origins--these comics were written and illustrated as companion stories, so they retain the style and tone of the games.

Batman: The Arkham Saga is one of many great Caped Crusader graphic novel deals available now. Amazon also has Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2 for a ridiculously low price of $27.63 (was $75) when you click the coupon box on Amazon's store page. Volume 3 is discounted to $40.83 (was $75), but unfortunately Amazon is sold out of Volume 1.

Mark Z. Danielewski - Tom's Crossing: A Novel

$23.27 (was $40)

See at Amazon

Tom's Crossing, the long-awaited new novel by House of Leaves author Mark Z. Danielewski, is on sale for an enormous discount just two weeks after hitting stores. Amazon has a limited-time deal on the hardcover edition of Tom's Crossing that drops the price to only $23.27 (was $40). If that sounds like the price you'd expect out of the gate, there's a good reason for the $40 MSRP: Tom's Crossing is an epic 1,232-page novel that is probably best described as a horror-western--and a very good one, at that.

Mark Z. Danielewski - Tom's Crossing: A Novel $23.27 (was $40)

Set in 1982, Tom's Crossing takes place in a small Utah county and the mountain ranges surrounding it. Kalin March, the 15-year-old protagonist and new resident in town, promises his dying friend that he will save two horses from slaughter. The friend, Tom Gatestone, accompanies Kalin from beyond the grave as a ghost.

Tom's Crossing is beautifully written in a distinct style that feels like listening to a very clever friend tell ghost stories by a campfire.

If you've read Danielewski's House of Leaves, The Familiar, or one of his other works, you may expect to see a wide array of fonts, inverted text, random pictures, academic citations, and other formatting oddities. But you actually won't find any of those quirks here.

Tom's Crossing is structured and presented like a conventional novel, one paragraph after another--though Danielewski does italicize dialogue instead of quotes. Traditional formatting means you won't find large swaths of white space, so Tom's Crossing is by far his longest novel by word count. But if you aren't scared away by the staggering page count, I think you'll find Tom's Crossing to be Danielewski's most approachable work of fiction. I eclipsed the halfway mark this week and am thoroughly enjoying it.

But if you don't want to take this Steven's word for it; the lone blurb on the back of the dust jacket is from Stephen King:

“This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you’ll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there’s so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it.”

See at Amazon

Tom's Crossing's is Danielewski's first book since the strange and unsettling 2019 picture book The Little Blue Kite. And it's his first novel since 2017's Redwood, Volume 5 of what was originally planned as a 27-volume series called The Familiar. Sadly, The Familiar was canceled by Danielewski's publisher after the fifth volume due to low sales and high printing costs, but now longtime fans have a new doorstopper of a novel to spend many hours with.

If you haven't read House of Leaves or want to gift a copy to a friend who loves puzzles this holiday, the 709-page paperback edition is on sale for $15.43 (was $29), and the 736-page hardcover edition is $31 (was $55). Both editions are eligible for Amazon's Buy Two, Get One Free Book Sale. The last two volumes of The Familiar are eligible for the promotion, too.

Earlier this week, Embark Studios debuted Arc Raiders' first major update, North Line. It includes a new map called Stella Montis, which was locked behind a community event that had to be finished first. However, Arc Raiders players didn't waste any time and unlocked Stella Montis in under 38 hours.

To reach Stella Montis--a map located in the "cold pristine" part of the Rust Belt, players had to donate a sizable amount of resources to tunnel through to that location. On Discord, Embark noted that it raised the requirements to enter Stella Montis because players were being more generous with resources than the studio anticipated. Despite that, players still powered through the goal.

Now that Stella Montis is open for exploration, players can visit the map and start earning XP there. The map's description calls the ruins in the map "eerily pristine," as well as "cold, sterile, and steeped in mystery." There are ARC enemies to battle there, and two new types have joined the game: The Matriarch and the Shredder.

I've been an Arknights: Endfield fan since the first global technical test in January 2024. Its art style that blended anime with realism and similarities with RPGs I enjoyed like Genshin Impact convinced me to try it. In the process, I found an intriguing world with a layered combat system and building mechanics that set it apart from competitors. Now, with the game's latest build, developer Hypergryph has reforged and polished those systems to feel even snappier and more accessible than what I remember.

According to developer Hypergryph, the team has redone 80 to 90% of the cutscenes and dialogue, about 50% or so of the structure of the maps, and nearly 40 to 50% of the game's overall level design--a lot of the game I first played back in 2024 is just not there anymore. But, after previewing Arknights: Endfield again for over five hours ahead of the official beta's launch, I have no doubt I'd spend another 20 in this brave new world.

When I first booted up this new version of Arknights: Endfield, I was quickly reintroduced to the controls with an action-packed battlefield. The player character, the Endministrator (or just Endmin), harnesses the power of a resource called Originium, which they can use to attack during combat and create and repair Originium-based machines. Later, we learn that the Endmin was the leader of Endfield Industries and the creator behind many of the machines that they control. Perlica, the poster character for Arknights: Endfield, and Chen Qianyu, a counterpart of Ch'en (a popular operator from the original Arknights), come from the same faction.

Arc Raiders occasionally sends you topside to fix something and expects you to bring your own items to do so. One such quest is After Rain Comes, which tasks you with repairing some solar panels in Buried City. The last thing you'll want to do is show up to fix them and not have what you need, so we're here to help.

You will need 2 Batteries and 5 Wires to complete After Rain Comes. You'll want to place these items in safe pockets if at all possible, as you wouldn't want to lose them due to a misstep, ARC battle, or non-friendly raider while making your way to the solar panels.

When you're ready to hop in and fix those solar panels, here's what you need to know.

The Unexpected Initiative quest in Arc Raiders sends you to the Buried City map in search of Fertilizer and a Water Pump. You'll need to visit two separate--though thankfully close by--locations to interact with and loot these items, so you may be here wanting to know precisely where. You're in luck because we're going to fill you in.

Note that the game will provide both Fertilizer and a Water Pump to you as part of this quest, but you can also find these in other places and turn them in from your own stash if you prefer. However, since the quest has to be done in a single Buried City raid to count, you do still have to visit both locations and loot them to check off the objectives either way. Either way, it's a good idea to bring in an augment with two safe pockets so that you keep both the Fertilizer and Water Pump you find, even if you don't manage to extract safely.

Let's dive into where to find the Fertilizer and Water Pump for the Unexpected Initiatives quest.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is live now, and the game is packaged with a cooperative story and a new Endgame mode, which serves as an open-world epilogue to the campaign. Activision gave GameSpot a very brief teaser of Season 1 content coming to Black Ops 7's campaign endgame. This includes a limited-time mode for Endgame, and while we don't have any major details, we can say some very massive fights will be taking place across the campaign's Avalon map.

We weren't able to capture the footage being shared with us, but the video showed players fighting a giant robot across Avalon in Black Ops 7's endgame. Activision also told us that players can get inside the robot, so it seems this is something you can hijack and take control of for your own use.

The zombie T-Rex featured as the boss fight in Black Ops 6's Shattered Veil map will also become a boss encounter on Avalon. The strategy for fighting this version of the T-Rex boss looks similar to doing so in Zombies mode, with players launching themselves onto its back to deal major melee damage.

The story of Concord is a cautionary tale in the age of live-service games. Years of development and millions of dollars went into the game, only for it to fail at launch and get canceled by Sony weeks later. However, Conord had some fans, and a trio of them worked very hard to bring the game back to life on a server.

As reported by The Game Post, Concord's partial resurrection is due to reverse engineering by a user called Red, a rebuild of the game's backend API by open_wizard, and an additional assist from a programmer called gwog. The team shared a pair of a gameplay videos to demonstrate their achievement, but noted that Concord is still somewhat buggy.

The trio successfully tested their ability to load the game, pick their characters, and run a full Clash Point match.

Epic Games is gearing up for its biggest shake-up to Fortnite Creative since the introduction of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Soon, Epic will allow developers who use UEFN to make Fortnite Creative modes, or "islands," to sell in-game items using V-Bucks, the game's real-money currency.

The news, which Epic announced during the Veteran's Day holiday in the US, was not met with much excitement from fans. The way the Fortnite Creative ecosystem is currently crammed with clones of tycoon, boxfight, and platforming islands, it's easy to see how adding microtransactions to any of the typical island types could be a bad thing. And it becomes much more difficult to see any possible upside when Epic's example idea is to sell people a better shovel for 300 V-Bucks.

Fortnite will allow UEFN developers to sell gameplay items for money soon.

But the reality is actually pretty murky, because V-Buck transactions are a wildcard that could completely shake up the Fortnite Creative ecosystem and encourage creators to try new things. We've got a digital Wild West here, in a sense. Let's try to understand the situation a little better, and get a better sense of where it may lead us, by taking a deep dive into the details.

While the latest firmware update for Switch and Switch 2 included several quality-of-life improvements, one consequence appears to be that many third-party docks have been rendered useless. According to Nintendo itself, such a consequence was unintentional.

In a statement, Nintendo spelled out the obvious, saying: "Nintendo Switch 2 outputs audiovisuals once it detects that it is docked into a Nintendo Switch 2 Dock. Nintendo Switch does the same, outputting audiovisuals once it detects that it is docked into a Nintendo Switch Dock."

More importantly, the company claimed that it "does not have any intention to hinder or invalidate legal third-party dock compatibility." It is unclear what Nintendo considers to be a "legal" dock.

Activision has once again confirmed that AI tools were used in the development of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which is in keeping with tradition for the franchise, as Black Ops 6 utilized AI tools as well. In a statement, Activision said the creative process is handled by humans, with AI tools helping out. Back in August, Activision explained that developers working on Black Ops 7 used generative AI, but "none of that goes in-game."

"Like so many around the world, we use a variety of digital tools, including AI tools, to empower and support our teams to create the best gaming experiences possible for our players. Our creative process continues to be led by the talented individuals in our studios," the company said.

Black Ops 7 launched today, November 14, and people quickly noticed that a number of Calling Cards that appear to use the "Ghibli-style" anime look, with people theorizing that Activision used AI to create these images.

Anyone who plays through The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is invited to make a choice between the two great loves of Geralt of Rivia: Yennefer of Vengerberg or Triss Merigold. That decision even informs the game's farewell to Geralt. However, CD Projekt Red has recently disclosed that players didn't always get to choose between Geralt's lovers.

CD Projekt Red co-CEO Adam Badowski told PC Gamer that the option to romance Triss was added late in the game. Until then, the team had been focusing on Geralt's relationship with Yennefer. But adding Triss back into Geralt's heart gave the game more personality .

"[The romance with Triss] wasn't [there] from the beginning," recalled Badowski. "But at some point we understood that this lack of conflict, personal conflict... There was a lack of something... This decision was made pretty late, but it was great. It was a great decision."
