[ESRB] Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - The Sky Breaker Story Pack Trailer | Ubisoft Forward

2023’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is getting its first story DLC in July, called “The Sky Breaker,” according to an announcement during the Ubisoft Forward on Monday.

“The Sky Breaker” was previously announced as a part of the game’s season pass, although it was only set for “summer 2024.” Now we know it’s set to release on July 16. The next story pack, called “Secrets of the Spires,” still doesn’t have a release date.

The plot involves the player having to defend the peace once again, as is expected in an Avatar series story. This time, the threat comes during a festival of games in the form of a giant spaceship that looms over the celebrations.

The story DLC pack will feature a new area to play through: the Heart of the Plains, which has new variations on biomes from the base game. It will also feature a new enemy type, the AMP Defender. In the trailer shown off during the presentation (you can watch it above), we see a Na’vi going up against the Defender, depicted as a fighter in a large exoskeleton suit equipped with plenty of tools and weapons to make them more difficult to fight. They’ll be marching alongside new RDA (Resources Development Administration) lieutenants, who will also get new armored, tougher suits that you’ll have to contend with.

The video wasn’t too action-packed overall, but those who are waiting for more Frontiers of Pandora, there’s a lot to look at.

Outside the story and main combat, the players will also get new timed challenges during the game festival. They can also now level up to legendary rarity and rank 25.

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamonroll themed gaming headphones

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.

This AMD mini PC beats Valve’s Steam Machine, but it costs a lot more
SteamOS on this AMD mini PC delivers higher frame rates than Valve's hardware
AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Strix Halo

Valve's decision to officially support SteamOS 3.8 on standard gaming PCs has opened the door to an entirely new class of Steam Machines - without requiring gamers to buy Valve's own hardware. Now, a new benchmark from YouTuber ETA Prime suggests that a high-end AMD-powered mini PC can outperform Valve's upcoming Steam Machine by a comfortable margin. The only problem? It also costs several times more.

The testing highlights both the flexibility of SteamOS and the growing appeal of AMD's latest integrated graphics, but it also raises an important question: how much extra performance is actually worth paying for?
