Given that we've received basically no information about the game ever since it was first announced, it should come as little surprise to hear that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has now been delayed. No specific date has been set just yet, but you can expect Frontiers of Pandora to launch at some point in 2023-24.
"We are committed to delivering a cutting-edge immersive experience that takes full advantage of next-gen technology, as this amazing global entertainment brand represents a major multi-year opportunity for Ubisoft," reads the very brief explanation.

[Update]: No Man’s Sky's Update 4.0 is all about fine-tuning your gameplay experience and level of challenge.
With the Outlaws update No Man's Sky spruced up its space combat and added a bunch of different ways to be a galactic menace. While the newest Endurance update is still focused on improving space-based gameplay, things are much more relaxed this time around.
Endurance has completely overhauled the experience of being a freighter captain, which includes a total rework of space bases. You now have a huge array of new parts and themed rooms to decorate your home away from home, the ability to build outside the freighter itself in order to really enjoy the wondrous views across the galaxy, as well as the option to customize and set up a variety of workshops, farms and observation decks.

[Update #2]: Wrath of the Lich King Classic, the very peak of the original WoW era, has now been unleashed.
[Update ]: World of Warcraft Classic is giving players a fancy new dragon mount for simply playing Death Knights.
World of Warcraft's second, and very likely final, Classic expansion Wrath of the Lich King will be arriving later this year without the controversial Dungeon Finder. All of the other content will be fully available, and you can also expect to see a couple of extra improvements like additional character customization options, personal Arena rating, and even the ability to level a Death Knight character to 70 before the expansion itself goes live.
Speaking of which, you might want to start thinking about your leveling route as Blizzard has just accidentally revealed that the expansion is nearly upon us. According to a brief update on the World of Warcraft website, Wrath of the Lich King Classic will be unleashed on September 26th, which means that Death Knights will most likely become playable in either late August or early September.

Much like FTL that came before it, Into the Breach launched as a short yet highly satisfying experience. Even if the Subset Games team never added anything else to it and simply moved onto their next game, Into the Breach would've still been remembered fondly due to how easy it is to pick up and how deliciously tricky it can get towards the end.
So you can imagine my surprise when over four years after its original launch Into the Breach just suddenly got a chunky new update! The Advanced Edition brings with it a whole host of new gameplay options thanks to 5 new squads, 4 new pilots and 39 new weapons & equipment, along with 10 new enemies and 10 new boss battles.
