Embark Studios has opened up about how it will make the second Expedition in Arc Raiders more enticing after the first left its community wanting more.

The developer behind the popular sci-fi extraction shooter updated fans with a blog post on its website. Included are a February 25 sign-up date and a March 1 departure date for the account reset event, as players are told to look forward to more worthwhile rewards before sending their beloved Raiders into the unknown and starting from scratch.

Even if you were someone who accidentally stumbled into a showing of Stray Kids : The Dominate Experience at an IMAX theater, by the end of it you'll come away with either a K-pop catchy melody carved into your frontal lobe, a newfound respect for concert stagecraft, or a new and unnerving crush on at least one of the band's members. Quite possibly all three. Whether you're a new arrival on K-pop island, or own 263 photo cards and have an Instagram account devoted to Hyunlix theories, Stray Kids : The Dominate Experience delivers.

The real audience for this is the army of Stray Kids fans, known as Stay, and recognition of that is threaded through every song and soundbite. Stray Kids : The Dominate Experience is a concert movie meticulously put together from footage from the K-pop group's 2025 SoFi stadium performances, together with short interviews with each of the eight members and just a dash of behind the scenes footage. It's not a glimpse into the dark underbelly of the K-pop industry, there's no grand narrative beyond “Stray Kids work really damn hard and it's paying off,” and for anyone who says there's not enough grit and too much polish, well, I like my diamonds to shine.

Whoever your bias is, you won't be disappointed. My beloved Felix showcases his deeper than the Mariana Trench vocals and bares his soul, bias wrecker Hyunjin is saucier than a whole condiment aisle in a grocery store, Han continues to be cuter than a bucket of squirrels, and Lee Know and Seungmin's Cinema performance is a standout moment. Someone in the otherwise well behaved screening audience couldn't help but shout "daddy!" as Bang Chan talked about looking after the rest of the members, and there was an audible pained groan at one point while I.N was wearing a crop top. Each member spotlight is a mix of prepared gloss and earnestness that you don't often see from Western groups, and that ultimately managed to disarm even this cynical Brit.

I'm not going to spoil the entire set list for anyone who hasn't found it online (or was even lucky enough to see it live) but it's the rollercoaster ride through the many moods and styles of SKZ you want it to be. Maniac and LALALALA were particular highlights, but I also got a new appreciation for some of the more neglected tracks on my personal Stray Kids Bangers playlist. Domino, I did you dirty and I apologize.

By the time the encore hit the IMAX theater I was watching in, it was hard to differentiate the cheers and singing from screen to seat. The front rows got up and danced, and the light sticks were brandished with pride like a sword salute to a beloved general. Even if you think this is just a masterclass in marketing for the upcoming tours for Karma, then well played, because I am now willing to commit actual felonies to secure tickets to one of their North American shows.

Stray Kids : The Dominate Experience arrives in theaters on February 6.

Amazon just wrapped up its second season of Fallout on Prime Video earlier this week. That means you can finally binge all of the episodes now if you've been waiting to do so. Unlike the first season, however, Amazon has quickly followed up season 2 with a 4K steelbook preorder. The artwork and product details aren't final yet, but you can already put your order in for the steelbook or the DVD.

Amazon has yet to announce any sort of release date for the physical editions of season 2.

The Fallout Season 2 4K Steelbook Is Up for Preorder

Ubisoft has reportedly canceled a multiplayer, cooperative Assassin's Creed title that has been in development at French studio Ubisoft Annecy.

This comes from a report by French publication Origami, which IGN has independently translated. According to the report, the project was codenamed "AC League", was originally conceived as a DLC for Assassin's Creed Shadows, and would have potentially taken place in the same feudal Japan era. The DLC would have involved four assassins joining forces to take on a series of scripted missions with up to four players that would have ultimately concluded the story told in the game's (canceled) Season Pass. You may have already heard of AC League if you pay close attention to Assassin's Creed gossip, as it was previously rumored last year in a report from Insider Gaming.

The project, Origami reports, was apparently fairly ambitious and was intended to serve as a baseline for future multiplayer features throughout the series, such as a return to a hybrid solo/multiplayer playstyle as existed in Assassin's Creed Unity or Black Flag (a remake of which has been rumored for some time now). However, as the AC League project progressed, directors at Ubisoft Annecy reportedly began to question whether it made sense to attach League to Shadows, as they worried it would take too long to make, and came up with a different plan that turned it into a small, standalone title borrowing pieces of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows open world. Development on this progressed with an intended invite-only alpha planned for May of 2026.

Unfortunately, AC League was allegedly just the latest victim of the ongoing upheaval at Ubisoft. For several months now, the company has been undergoing a massive restructure alongside major cost-cutting measures, canceling numerous projects, closing studios, and reorganizing its creative houses. It was to this restructuring that AC League fell victim, with leadership at Ubisoft Annecy being informed just last week that AC League was being canceled.

However, there is still a sliver of hope for the project, Origami reports. Apparently, a handful of Annecy employees have been selected to transfer the technical advancements the team made back into the company's proprietary Anvil engine, with the goal of eventually making it easier to add replayable multiplayer modes to future Assassin's Creed titles that would be less expensive to develop. Unfortunately, that leaves more than a quarter of the 270 individuals working at Annecy without a project at the moment, leaving a lot of lingering anxiety that layoffs may be coming next.

IGN has reached out to Ubisoft for comment.

Ubisoft's quarterly earnings will be reported next week, and all eyes are on the company to see if it can pull itself together amid some drastic financial times. Upon last reporting, the company had thrown out its previous fiscal year guidance for new, significantly reduced financial expectations, reflective of the fact that the company just closed two stories, laid off a lot of employees, and canceled six projects. It's also handed off its three biggest franchises to Vantage Studios, a newly-created business entity owned by Ubisoft but with a 25% stake from Tencent to help keep the lights on.
