Assassin's Creed Shadows launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC back in March, and now the latest entry in Ubisoft's stealth-action series is finally launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2. Preorders for the Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Edtion are available for $60 at multiple online retailers. While this version of the game doesn't include any preorder bonuses, there are a couple of benefits to picking up the Switch 2 Edition, including touch screen support for menu navigation, cross-save support, and--of course--the ability to play the game on the go thanks to the Switch 2's handheld mode.

Assassin's Creed Shadows (Nintendo Switch 2) $60 | Releases December 2

The Switch 2 version of Assassin's Creed Shadows includes the base game. This is a Game Key-Card release, meaning none of the game data is included on the cartridge, and instead it acts as physical DRM that unlocks access to the digital version of the game. This means you must download the game data to your console before you can play.

As mentioned above, there are no preorder bonuses included with the Switch 2 edition. While the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions that launched earlier this year included the Claws of Awaji story DLC as a perk for grabbing the game ealier, Switch 2 players will have to buy this post-game content separately when it launches on the eShop in 2026.

You can preorder the Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 physical edition for $60 at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. Digital preorders are also live on the eShop.

While you're at it, you might want to pick up some supplemental AC Shadows merch, specifically the official guide and art books for the game. Currently, both editions of the official game guide and art book are on sale, so there's really never been a better time to scoop them up. With the official strategy guide, you'll not only get detailed tips on how to make your way through the game, but also a comprehensive atlas of the in-game map, a complete inventory catalog of all the gear you can obtain, as well as a breakdown of each character's skill trees. Grab the hardcover version for just $35.25 (saving you $9.75), or the paperback for $19.30 (which saves you $10.70).

The art book, which is also discounted, comes packed with 256 pages of details on the game's development, plus a ton of concept art showcasing AC Shadows' characters, landscapes, gear, and more. The standard edition of the art book is just $30 ($20 off the original price), or you could upgrade to the deluxe edition for $43.45 (saving you $56.55). The deluxe edition includes everything in the standard edition, plus a unique cover, a slipcase, and an exclusive art print.

Junji Ito Manga Deluxe Editions And New Story Collection Get Great Price Cuts

See at Amazon

There's no shortage of chills to be had during the spooky season, but when it comes to pure horror, nothing comes close to the work of Junji Ito when it comes to manga. The famed mangaka has a prolific body of work, ranging from body-horror series to adaptations examining the power of the human psyche and so much more.

We've gathered up the vast majority of his printed work below, from Uzumaki to No Longer Human, so if you're in the mood for some unsettling terror that is beautifully grotesque, you're going to be spoiled for choice. Amazon has some great deals on Ito's manga, including the Deluxe Editions of Uzumaki, Gyo, and Tomie. You can even get a limited-time discount the newly released story collection Moan. Check out our favorite deals below and then browse the full catalog in list format at the bottom of this roundup.

Uzumaki 3-in-1 Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) $20 (was $35)

The manga series that put Ito on the map, Uzumaki, is widely considered to be Ito's masterpiece. A horrifying tale that explores the concept of spirals, Uzumaki features elegantly terrifying art and a slow-burning story that draws you in. Set in a small town on the coast of Japan, the story follows the young protagonists Kirie Goshima and Shuichi Saito as they investigate the hypnotic secret shape of the world. This release collects the entire manga series into a single 648-page hardcover edition and includes several color inserts.

See at Amazon Tomie Complete Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) $19 (was $35)

Another critically acclaimed series from Ito, Tomie centers on a mysterious and beautiful woman named Tomie Kawakami. The series was published in Monthly Halloween from 1987 to 2000, with stories revolving around the seemingly immortal succubus Tomie as she manipulates people into jealous fits of rage that inevitably lead to vicious acts of violence. While Tomie is frequently killed, she simply resurrects herself so that she can continue to spread her curse to other people. This hardcover edition collects the entire saga across 752 pages.

See at Amazon Gyo 2-in-1 Deluxe Edition (Hardcover) $19.20 (was $25)

One of Ito's stranger works--and that's saying something--Gyo follows a couple who find themselves in a fight for survival against a horde of undead fish with metal legs. The creatures also spread a toxic virus known as the "death stench" that has dark origins dating back to World War II.

See at Amazon No Longer Human (Hardcover) $23.48 (was $35)

An adaptation of Osamu Dazai's novel, No Longer Human was first serialized in Big Comic Original from 2017-2018. All three volumes in the series are included here, and it inverts the original story with a dark tale of ostracization, mental instability, and suicide. While several of Ito's series are focused on supernatural horror, No Longer Human is a deeper exploration of how the human psyche on its own can be even more terrifying than any monster.

See at Amazon Moan: Junji Ito Story Collection (Hardcover) $20 (was $25) | Released October 7

Six short stories from Ito, Moan includes the following tales: Supernatural Transfer Student, Moan, Blood Orb Grive, Flesh-Colored Mystery, Near-Miss, and Under the Ground. The hardcover collection was released earlier this month, bringing together several macabre stories themed around obsession and persistence.

See at Amazon The Art of Junji Ito: Twisted Visions (Hardcover) $19.72 (was $35)

Junji Ito's artwork is instantly recognizable, and this book collects over 130 images showing off his talent. It includes color illustrations alongside black-and-white ones, all printed on thick high-quality pages. Covering everything from Uzumaki to Tomie and much more, the book also includes commentary from Ito in which he breaks down his artistic process.

This is just the tip of the Junji Ito iceberg, and if you want to assemble a library of high-quality horror, you can find most of his work in the list below. Ito has put his own spin on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, explored the spine-tingling thrills of The Liminal Zone, and he has illustrated an end-of-days epic in Remina.

Following the immense success of Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection, Discotek Media is releasing a Blu-ray set of the next three classic movies from the Digimon franchise. Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection hits stores December 30, and preorders are available now for $30 at Amazon and $24 on the Crunchyroll Store.

With Amazon's preorder price guarantee, you will automatically get any discounts offered ahead of launch, and you won't be charged until your preorder ships.

Digimon The Movies 4-6 Collection (Blu-ray) $30 | Releases December 30

Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection includes the following movies with both English dubs and the original Japanese audio with subtitles:

  • Revenge of the Diaboromon (2001)
  • Battle of Adventurers (2001)
  • Runaway Locomon (2002)

Though referred to as "movies," these aren't feature-length films. Revenge of the Diaboromon is 29 minutes and is set during the Digimon Adventure 02 timeline. Battle of Adventurers released the same year and has a 50-minute runtime. It was the first movie in the Digimon Tamers timeline, the third Digimon series, and revolves around a virus that causes Digimon to enter the Real World. Runaway Locomon, a 30-minute short film, released in 2002 and takes place after the Digimon Tamers season finale.

The collection has a total runtime of 2 hours and 9 minutes. The runtime is 10 minutes longer than the originals because these are uncut versions that were restored with English dubs by Discotek. The runtimes listed above correspond with the original releases, not the uncut versions.

Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection released on Blu-ray last December and is on sale for $24 (was $30). This collection includes the following short films:

  • Digimon Adventure (1999)
  • Our War Game (2000)
  • Hurricane Touchdown (2000)

Parts of these three movies were spliced together to create Digimon: The Movie (2000), the first feature-length theatrical release for the franchise.

Discotek restored the uncut versions of all three short films with a new English dub. The runtime for the collection is 2 hours and 9 minutes, more than 40 minutes longer than the 88-minute feature film.

The Blu-ray collection also comes with Digimon: The Movie's original dubbed version, so fans can watch the story as they did in theaters as kids, too.

Discotek Media has steadily brought classic Digimon anime to Blu-ray over the past few years. Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 are both available on Blu-ray with versions with English dubs and the original Japanese with subtitles. Unlike the movie collections, though, there are separate English and Japanese editions.

Runescape's Future May Be Radically Reshaped After Fan Vote

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 07:31

The daily Treasure Hunter has been a part of Runescape since 2014, and some of the game's players openly resent it as a pay-to-win feature that diminishes the experience for fans who don't utilize it. Jagex has been exploring its options for the feature, and now the developer is leaving Treasure Hunter's fate in the hands of the fans.

Jagex has started an online poll that will determine if Treasure Hunter will stay in Runescape. If 100,000 players vote to remove Treasure Hunter, it will be completely deleted from the game alongside 225 direct XP and skilling items that are related to it. That would leave the game with only two purchasable items: Bonus XP with capped storable limits per skill and cosmetics "with a more grounded visual identity."

"Today marks one of the most important moments in Runescape history," reads a statement on the site. "We are proposing a new future for the game led by integrity, where your achievements are based on merit, and the vast experiences offered within Gielinor can truly shine.This is an era-defining shift for Runescape where YOU will cast the deciding vote--just as we did for the birth of Old School."

The Witcher Showrunner Defends Controversial Moment From Season 4 Trailer

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 05:17

There may be a new actor, Liam Hemsworth, playing Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4, but as far as the series is concerned, he's still the same character formerly played by Henry Cavill. Regardless, a line uttered by Hemsworth in The Witcher Season 4 trailer caused some backlash from fans who claimed that Geralt would have never said it. Now, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has come out and vigorously defended the line.

The line in question came at moment when Geralt drew his sword and said, "Let's f***ing move." At least a few Reddit users vehemently objected to it.

Hissrich expressed surprise that the line was controversial at all during an interview with Radio Times. She went on to explain why she feels it works for him.

How To Use Custom Loadouts In Battlefield Redsec

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 05:11

Battlefield Redsec is the military shooter series' new free-to-play battle royale game. A great way to gain an advantage over your opponents in Redsec is to use custom weapon loadouts. Custom weapon builds are often better than the ground loot you'll find in your matches, but acquiring your personal guns isn't as straightforward as it is in other battle royales like Warzone.

Battlefield 6 and Battlefield Redsec feature shared progression, meaning all the weapons and attachments you unlock in multiplayer are also available in the battle royale mode. Here, we'll guide you through setting your custom Battlefield 6 weapons for use in Redsec, and we'll explain how to get them in your next match.

Xbox Is Down, Impacting The Outer Worlds 2 Game Pass Launch

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 05:01

Another major outage has hit the internet, as Microsoft Azure is experiencing issues. The company confirmed that its cloud computing service had begun to experience issues earlier today, and this has had an impact on several Microsoft services and the Xbox network across the globe.

This has also led to issues with the launch of The Outer Worlds 2, as developer Obsidian Entertainment has acknowledged that Xbox users "may be temporarily unavailable to purchase or install" the game on PC or console. Xbox Game Pass has also been affected, and Obsidian says that it is working with Microsoft to resolve the problems.

Due to an ongoing Azure service outage, The Outer Worlds 2 may be temporarily unavailable to purchase or install on Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox app on PC, and with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass.

— Obsidian (@obsidian.net) October 29, 2025 at 7:13 PM

"Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, we began experiencing Azure Front Door (AFD) issues resulting in a loss of availability of some services," Microsoft said on its status page. "We suspect that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue."

Pokemon TCG Trick Or Trade Booster Bundle Restocked At Amazon

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 04:26
See at Amazon

Amazon has restocked the Pokemon TCG Trick or Trade Booster Bundle, and this time the retailer isn't selling it for an astronomical price. Earlier this month, Amazon priced the bag of Halloween-themed mini packs at $50. As of October 29, the Trick or Trade Booster Bundle is $27.80. Your order will be shipped and sold by Amazon, but unfortunately it won't arrive until mid-November.

Pokemon TCG: Trick or Trade Booster Bundle $27.80 | 35 Mini Packs with 3 cards each

The Pokemon Company didn't release a Trick or Trade Booster Bundle this year, so it's worth emphasizing that you are buying the 2024 edition. The bag includes 35 Mini Booster Packs with three cards in each, so you're getting 105 Pokemon TCG cards total--and lots of duplicates.

The 2024 Trick or Trade Collection features 30 unique cards, including Pikachu, Mimikyu, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, and all three starters from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Quaxly, Fuecoco, Sprigatito. And yes, of course the lineup features Pumpkaboo.

The 2023 Trick or Trade Booster Bundle is available for $35 at Amazon. Your order for this one will be fulfilled by Amazon but sold by a third-party reseller. The reason we're mentioning the older bundle is because it comes with 50 Mini Boosters, so you'll get 150 cards total. The 2023 Trick or Trade Collection also features 30 Pokemon, many of which are either not in the 2024 lineup or have different artwork.

See at Amazon

Pokemon Trading Card Game prices have been extremely volatile this year, even at major retailers like Amazon. Many 2025 Pokemon TCG products are selling for above MSRP at Amazon. For instance, the Holiday Calendar is $110.67 as of October 29, which is more than double its original $50 price.

Right in time for Halloween, Amazon is offering four horror movie board games at discounted prices. You can pick up Funko's Scream The Game for $11.49 (was $20), Emerson Matsuuchi's Halloween The Board Game for $50.50 (was $60) and its follow-up, Halloween II The Board Game for $29.77 (was $60). And fans of sci-fi horror--or those who prefer co-op board games--can grab Alien: Fate of the Nostromo from Ravensburger for $28 (was $35). Each game offers an easy-to-learn, pick-up-and-play experience that pays homage to its respective source material. The Scream board game even has an option to download a free mobile app with music and narration to enhance the experience. Halloween and Halloween II are asymmetrical multiplayer games where one person plays as Michael Myers, while Alien: Fate of the Nostromo has you play through the plot of the film and evade the terrifying Xenomorph.

Scream the Game $11.49 (was $20)

This 3 to 9 player game is super quick and easy to set up and learn, with games lasting about 20 minutes. You can also download the free app with background music and original narration by Ghost Face voice actor Roger L. Jackson to accompany the experience.

See at Amazon Halloween the Board Game $50.50 (was $60)

Similar to asymmetric video games based on cult horror films, Halloween the Board Game pits 2 to 4 players against each other in roughly hour-long showdowns, with one player controlling the iconic slasher Michael Myers and the rest of the group working together to escape him.

See at Amazon Halloween II the Board Game $29.77 (was $60)

Halloween II the Board Game features the same asymmetrical competitive gameplay as the first game, but with new characters, mechanics, rules, and cards.

See at Amazon Alien: Fate of the Nostromo Board Game $28 (was $35)

Alien: Fate of the Nostromo is a cooperative board game in which players assume the iconic roles of the Nostromo crew from the original film. Sessions last around an hour, and the game features difficulty scaling and multiple unique objectives, so no two sessions are the same. The game also provides an online video tutorial for setting up and learning to play.

If you're a trivia fan, Amazon also has two horror-themed Trivial Pursuit games available. Trivial Pursuit: Horror Movie Edition is a great option for a quick, pick-up-and play experience for your next game night or casual hang out. This version includes 600 questions about the last century of horror movies, and is available at Amazon fro $22. However, hardcore horror afficionados will probably want to check out the Trivial Pursuit Horror Ultimate Edition, which features 1,800 questions (that's 1,200 more than the base version), and is currently on sale at Amazon for $47.68 (was $53).

All Battlefield Redsec Missions And How To Complete Them

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 03:07

There are plenty of ways to earn loot in Battlefield Redsec. Whether you go around looting every chest across Fort Lyndon, pick up loot off enemy players, or find a custom weapon drop, your inventory should be kitted out fairly quickly after dropping into a match. However, one of the easiest and most lucrative ways to score some loot in Redsec is by completing missions.

Every team in Redsec is given three dedicated missions to complete right after a match begins. You can also find missions to complete scattered across the map. These missions reward you with loot and some exclusive rewards, such as Vehicle Keycards that you can use to drive a tank. The mission descriptions can often be confusing, though, so allow us to explain how to complete each individual mission in Redsec.

All Missions in Battlefield Redsec

For starters, you can view your team's three random missions by waiting for around a minute after landing on the map. Then, you can click your mini-map button to see the three missions you can complete. You can only complete one mission at a time, and new missions are scrambled every minute. So if you're looking for a specific reward, waiting for new missions instead of trying to complete ones you don't want is the way to go.

YouTube Is Changing Its Guidelines For "Graphic Violence" In Gaming

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 03:05

YouTube is updating its policies to age-restrict more content containing video game scenes with "graphic violence," the company announced on Tuesday. Starting November 17, the updates will prevent accounts under 18 and signed-out users from watching videos with games focused on showing "realistic human characters" involved in scenes of "mass violence against non-combatants" or torture. It'll also cover online gambling, even when no actual money is involved.

"Our policies are designed to evolve alongside the digital world," the statement read. "We're making these updates to keep pace with new trends, like gambling with digital goods, and to more closely align our guidelines for mature content with industry standards."

The policy changes introduce clearer rules around three main categories of content: online gambling, social casino games, and graphic gaming content. YouTube will expand its enforcement on gambling-related material to include digital goods with monetary value--such as in-game skins, cosmetics, and NFTs--if they are linked to non-Google-certified gambling sites or apps.

Microsoft CEO Hints Next Xbox Could Be Like A PC

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 02:52

With the leap of Halo to PlayStation 5, some observers have facetiously declared the console wars to be over. Despite rumors that Microsoft is getting out of the console business, the company is working with AMD on future consoles and devices. Now, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has shared some thoughts about the next Xbox, which may indicate that it will be more like a PC.

"We want to do innovative work on the system side, on the console and PC. It's kind of funny that people think about the [Xbox] console and PC as two different things," said Nadella during an appearance on TBPN. "We built a console because we wanted to build a better PC, which could then perform for gaming. So I kind of want to revisit some of that conventional wisdom. But at the end of the day, console has an experience that is unparalleled ... I'm really looking forward to the next console."

The consoles wars are now over. What does that mean for Microsoft's gaming business model?
"We just want to make sure the games are being enjoyed by gamers everywhere; consoles, PC, mobile, cloud, or TV." - @satyanadella pic.twitter.com/AOGf3mj0Kf

— TBPN (@tbpn) October 28, 2025

Nadella went on to suggest that there may need to be new interactive media to compete with short-form videos, which he sees as Xbox's real competition. A recent report stated that Nadella's compensation this past year was $96.5 million, largely through stock options. That's roughly 480 times what the average Microsoft employee makes.

An Incredibly Funny Mistranslation Gave This Small RPG A Big Boost In Popularity

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 02:36

I think we can all agree that a good title makes a great first impression, especially in the busy landscape of video games. Look no further than The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles, an indie RPG game from developer Fix-a-Bug whose satirical tone is quite obvious from the jump. Can you believe it had an even funnier name in Japan?

In an interview with Game*Spark (h/t Automaton for the translation and reporting) the game's developer Paolo Nicoletti admitted a hilarious anecdote from its development. Earlier this year, Nicoletti uploaded a demo for The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles to Steam that boasted a hilarious, not to mention inappropriate, title instead.

The game's name had been localized to Kuso Dungeon, which translates (in the tamest language) to "Crap Dungeon." While kuso is a term that, throughout Asia at least, can broadly denote campiness or parody--making its usage here incredibly appropriate--it can also be misinterpreted to mean any number of Japanese curse words. You see where this is going now.

Subnautica 2 Devs Claim There’s No GenAI In Game After Publisher’s “AI-First” Shift

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 02:19

In the wake of Krafton Inc. becoming an "AI-first" company, developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment said that it won't adhere to its publisher's wishes, confirming that the team isn't using generative AI for the action-adventure survival sim Subnautica 2.

In a post on the game's official Discord server, community manager Donya Abramo explained the relationship between a publisher and a developer. Likening it to that of a library, Abramo said that Krafton Inc. provides the tools while Unknown Worlds Entertainment chooses what it will and won't use for development, and GenAI is one of those tools that the team will simply not touch.

"We're not using generative AI to develop Subnautica 2," Abramo wrote. "We have an 'AI system' in the game that is similar to ones that have always been in our games: the creature behavior trees."

How To Unlock Tanks In Battlefield Redsec

Game News - Thu, 10/30/2025 - 02:12

Tanks are at the center of controversy in the early stages of Battlefield Redsec. Just like in Battlefield 6 multiplayer, you can use tanks throughout a match in the battle royale, which can allow you to steamroll your way to victory if no enemies have equipped the Engineer class or anti-vehicle equipment.
