After a forgettable launch, Ubisoft’s Avatar game is getting a huge new update later this year, introducing new game plus and a third-person mode

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora launched on Steam in late 2023, featuring a visually stunning rainforest environment and allowing players to navigate as Na'vi characters. The game had simplified combat mechanics and faced a decline in player engagement due to minimal marketing support from Ubisoft. Developer Massive Entertainment released paid DLC patches, including a New Game Plus mode that retains gear and introduces stronger equipment and a new skill tree. A significant update will add a third-person perspective, allowing seamless switching between first and third-person views. The game received mixed reviews, with some praising its world while others criticized its performance and narrative. A third-person update is set to launch on December 5, coinciding with the release of the film Avatar: Fire & Ash on December 19.

Steve’s Lava Chicken Song Added to Minecraft, but You’ll Need to Hunt a Chicken Jockey to Find It

A new update for Minecraft, version 1.21.93, introduces a remixed music disc featuring the Lava Chicken song from A Minecraft Movie, originally performed by Jack Black and reimagined by Hyper Potions. Players can obtain this remix by defeating a Chicken Jockey, a baby Zombie riding a Chicken. The remix has been noted for its catchy dubstep beats, even more addictive than the original. The song gained popularity after the film grossed nearly 5 million and became the shortest track to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The song's lyrics include playful phrases like "la-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken," and it was created by Black in collaboration with director Jared Hess.

Copper tools in Minecraft: Features, uses, and more | Esports News

Minecraft will release a new update in fall 2025 that focuses on copper, allowing players to craft tools and armor from this material. Copper tools will have the same attacking power as stone tools but will offer greater durability and mining speed. Each copper vein yields two raw copper, making it easier to acquire than iron. Copper armor provides five armor points, while iron armor offers 7.5 points, with copper requiring fewer resources to craft. Players can use copper armor as a defense option early in the game before upgrading to diamond armor later. The update aims to enhance gameplay mechanics and position copper as a valuable resource.
