Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Might Get Director’s Cut Re-Release – Rumour While Ubisoft hasn't commented on the matter yet, a Director's Cut release would likely also include both of the game's expansions. Posted By Joelle Daniels | On 21st, May. 2025 Ubisoft might looking to bring back its open-world adventure game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora through a Director’s Cut release. While the company is yet to provide any confirmation about the matter, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson’s post on social media indicates that this might be the case. A Director’s Cut release of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will likely include all of the DLCs that have been released for the game so far. There might also be new content and other enhancements developed for the release. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was released all the way back in December 2023. The title has since seen quite a bit of support from Ubisoft, including updates with new features, like one bringing a 40 FPS mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as full-blown expansions in the form of The Sky Breaker and Secrets of the Spire. The game takes place around eight years before the events of the original Avatar movie, and revolves around five young Na’vi children – the player character, Ri’nela, Aha’ri, Teylan, and Nor, being trained by Dr. Alma Cortez and John Mercer to be Na’vi-Human ambassadors. Things don’t quite go smoothly, however, and the Na’vi children end up escaping from their training.

Looks like Ubisoft is giving Rayman an "AAA" revival after last year's "exploration phase" Never mind the Globox. Image credit: Ubisoft News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on May 21, 2025 Remember Ubisoft's announcement last October it was currently in the "exploration phase" of a new Rayman project? Well, it seems full development has now been given the go ahead, with a recent job listing indicating the publisher is currently staffing up on a "AAA" Rayman game. To rewind a bit, all this came about following reports last year that Ubisoft had assembled a small group of developers - including around a dozen members of its now-disbanded Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team - to work on a remake of Rayman. Somewhat unusually, Ubisoft didn't immediately reach for the 'does not comment on rumours or speculation' button, instead confirming that, yes actually, it was sort of true. "We are pleased to confirm Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have recently started an exploration phase on the Rayman brand," it said at the time. "The project is still in its early stages, and we will share more details later." There was a sense, then, that nothing might come of the project if that "exploration phase" didn't bring encouraging results. But it now appears those initial experiments showed sufficient promise, because Ubisoft Milan is currently seeking a 3D gameplay animator to work on a "prestigious AAA title for the Rayman brand." There's also a second, slightly less specific job listing searching for a senior game designer to "work on the Rayman brand", but it seems likely both positions are related to the same project. More of this sort of thing please Ubisoft.Watch on YouTube So that's some encouraging news for Rayman fans, particularly given Ubisoft Montpellier and Milan's historically stellar output. Between them, the studios have released the acclaimed likes of Mario + Rabbids, the beautiful Valiant Hearts series, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, plus Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends - two absolutely gold-standard 2D platformers. The only troubling element of Rayman's revival is last year's controversial admission by Ubisoft that original Rayman creator Michel Ancel had been drafted in as a consultant. Ancel departed the publisher in 2020, allegedly following an investigation into employee complaints accusing him of toxic leadership, and his involvement with the new Rayman project was reported to have "raised some concerns among team members". It is, however, unclear if Ancel is still serving as a consultant now Ubisoft's initial "exploration phase" appears to be complete. Signs that Rayman may be making a "AAA" return come at a challenging time for Ubisoft. The publisher has faced a tumultuous few years amid tumbling share prices and a number of high-profile flops, resulting in a string of layoffs and studio closures. As part of its attempts to right the ship, Ubisoft announced it was launching a new subsidiary dedicated to its big three IPs - Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry - earlier this year. With those game under a new banner, Ubisoft itself will concentrate on a number of key areas, including "nurturing the development of iconic franchises" - which is presumably where Rayman comes in. #looks #like #ubisoft #giving #rayman

News The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Tops US Video Game Sales Charts in April Circana's Mat Piscatella also revealed that it sold more in its debut month than the original did in its first 15 months. Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 21st, May. 2025 If you haven’t heard, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is an unequivocal success. After shadow-dropping last month, it crossed 216,000 concurrent players on Steam. It would surpass four million players in four days and become the third best-selling game in the United States for 2025. Circana’s latest data for video game spending in the US has since confirmed that it topped sales charts for April 2025. Executive director and analyst Mat Piscatella added that it topped sales across PC, Xbox and PlayStation. But that’s not all. Oblivion Remastered sold more copies in its first month than the original did in its first 15 months combined. Full-game dollar sales are also higher than Oblivion’s first 14 months combined. Considering that the latter launched in March 2006 and sold over three million by January 2007, it’s safe to say that the remaster has beaten that, which is once again impressive considering it’s on Game Pass.

It looks as though, against all odds, Rayman is still alive after all. Job postings spotted for a "AAA Rayman game" have been hastily taken down, but not before they were archived by eagle-eyed Reddit users. #rayman #isnt #dead #against #all

Grandmillennial aesthetics, draped curtains, canopy beds, warm minimalism—these are some of the bedroom trends that designers predictedfor 2025. They center around warmth, coziness, and personality, providing a much different experience than the picture-perfect clean minimalism bedrooms of Pinterest eras past. And the visually-fueled social media platform is seeing that too, predicting that the inviting and informal interior trend of "bedscaping" is about to take the world by storm.As stark white interiors have fallen out of style and more maximalist looks have moved into the spotlight, Pinterest has found that certain terms that support these personality-filled rooms are seriously gaining momentum. The term "eclectic apartment" has jumped by 630 percent, and the search term "boho bedroom" is up by 65 percent as people embrace the curated mess aesthetic and aim to create something bolder with more character through their decor. "Ten years ago, bedscapes tended to be very minimal, often embracing a white-on-white aesthetic that, while clean, could feel slightly impersonal," Eleanor Trepte of Dekay & Tate Interiors says. When the COVID-19 pandemic happened, more people spent extended time at home than they had in years, leading to a greater focus on comfort. "Since then, bedscaping has become far more personal, with layered bedding, mood lighting, and bolder colors and patterns taking center stage."If you're looking for fresh ways to make your bedroom feel cozier this spring and summer, keep reading for tips on how to bedscape the designer-approved way. Related StoriesFocus on TextureMatthew NiemannDifferently textured upholstery, draperies, and fabrics give this bedroom by Galeana Younger drama and boldness."I think bedscaping is less about decorative frills and more about texture and layers," says designer Amy McCoy of McCoy Design Studio. She explains that her clients want textures that feel more cozy and soft rather than starchy. It's those softer textiles on the bed that invite you to relax. Designer Autumn Pochiro of Autumn Dawn Design adds that neuroaesthetics, the scientific study of how we react to creative works, "tells us that bedroom color, lighting temperature, pattern, and texture all play a part in how we unwind to fall asleep." A bed that's made with an enveloping material like cotton sateen, a heavy down duvet, and ultra-plush pillows can encourage better sleep after a long day.Layer AwayCourtesy of Autumn Dawn DesignA mountain of pillows and a textured, patterned knit blanket rest on top of another bold patterned duvet in this colorful bedroom by Autumn Dawn Designs.As Trepte puts it: "The perfect bedscape is all about layering to create an inviting, restful environment." Layering different patterns and textures adds personality and visual interest to your bedroom, and it can be done in simple ways if you prefer a more minimalist style. Trepte likes layering crisp white linens with warm quilts or throws and patterned pillows for personality. For a step-by-step guide on how to layer your bed, Pochiro explains that the first layer is sheets, then something plush, like a goose-down duvet or comforter. Next comes the decorative accents—your throw pillows and shams—and finally, a bed scarf at the bottom of the bed. Opt for Mood LightingBrie WilliamsA custom lampshade and golden sconce add more accent lighting to this bedroom by Heidi Woodman. A perfectly bedscaped bedroom does not go hand-in-hand with bright overhead lighting. Ambient lighting from lamps, sconces, and dimmers is key to creating a cozy bedroom environment. If you do need overhead lighting for whatever reason, Trepte suggests adding warm-toned lightbulbs that'll give the space a more luxurious vibe. Finish with a FragranceManu RodríguezDesigner Rayman Boozer displayed a bright burst of orange roses on this bedside table, adding a nice pop of color and a fragrant scent.After everything is visually the way you want it, the final step to bedscaping is finishing off with your favorite scent. Whether that's from a candle, a room or linen spray, incense, or a plug-in diffuser, this is the cherry on top of creating a space that's comforting and uniquely yours, explains Trepte.
