A recent leak suggests that AdHoc Studio’s Dispatch will be available on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 in late January. Dispatch is an episodic adventure game released in October and November of this year, and it’s set in a world focused on the daily lives of superheroes. The game was created by former developers from Telltale Games, so it plays similarly to popular titles like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Tales From the Borderlands. Like those games, Dispatch has been a critical and commercial success, becoming one of the highest-rated games of 2025.

As a critic, I have to say Fallout on Prime Video is a genuine triumph. It’s quickly become one of their biggest hits, and deservedly so. It’s being hailed as one of the best adaptations of a video game ever, even winning ‘Best Adaptation’ at The Game Awards, and I completely agree. What’s so impressive is how successfully it captures the spirit of the game – that unique blend of dark humor, retro-future aesthetics, and a really gripping story. Whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to the world of Fallout, this show pulls you in and doesn’t let go.

Netflix released the anime series The Summer Hikaru Died this summer, adapting the original manga by Mokumokuren. The story centers around Yoshiki Tsujinaka and his friend Hikaru, who mysteriously returns from the dead. The series is praised for its compelling characters and genuinely frightening atmosphere. The anime’s popularity has boosted the manga’s circulation to 4.5 million copies, establishing it as a leading title in the horror manga genre. With new chapters still being published, the future looks bright for the series and its characters.

It’s ironic that time has actually worked against Avatar. Long delays in making the sequels meant Avatar: The Way of Water didn’t come out until December 2022 – thirteen years after the first film. You might have forgotten some details about the world of Avatar, but with Avatar: Fire and Ash now in theaters, it’s a good time to refresh your memory before seeing the third movie.

Shani needs your help to investigate someone who’s been poisoning the water supply. Now that the water is clean again, it’s important to find the culprit before anyone gets sick from the toxic waste. It’s time to figure out who’s responsible.

Apollo thinks he can build more powerful explosives if he had higher-quality materials. Better explosives would be a big advantage against the ARCs, so he’s asking for your help in getting them.

You previously discovered a strange key while investigating the “A Toxic Trail” quest. Shani is hesitant to assume the worst, but the key strongly suggests someone deliberately contaminated the water. Use the key to continue your investigation and unlock the stylish Warden outfit!

UNDERWARD first launched for PC via Steam on February 5, followed by PlayStation 5 on June 22.

Hogwarts Legacy has become a hugely popular game since its release, and it’s still selling very well on all platforms even after two years. That’s why it’s such a great deal that Epic Games is giving the game away for free until December 18th! If you don’t already own Hogwarts Legacy, now’s your chance – you have less than a day to claim it before the offer ends.

Okay, so initially it looks like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were just casualties, collateral damage in the larger scheme of things. But the more I think about it, the more I’m convinced it was about Qui-Gon specifically. He wasn’t just any Jedi; he had a unique connection to the Force, and that’s how he found Anakin – he recognized the Chosen One. Even though the Jedi Council never fully accepted him, they clearly valued his insights, and his death really rattled them. It feels like, had he lived, his perspective on achieving balance in the Force could have actually prevented Anakin’s turn to the dark side. Honestly, looking back, Qui-Gon seems like a genuine danger to the Sith, a real wrench in their plans.
