January’s Humble Choice line-up includes Sonic Frontiers; Hunt Showdown and more

7 janvier 2026 à 16:00

2026 is officially here, and seeing as how it’s a new month, Humble has another set of games available to claim right now as part of its Humble Choice subscription service. Kicking off the year with a strong selection of titles, January’s line-up includes Sonic Frontiers; Hunt Showdown; the Tomb Raider Classic collection and more.

Available to add to your library from now, January 2026’s Humble Choice line-up is as follows:

  • Sonic Frontiers
  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered
  • Hunt Showdown 1896
  • Etrian Odyssey II HD
  • Nice Day for Fishing
  • Metal Slug Tactics
  • Settlement Survival
  • Wizard of Legend 2

All in all this marks a pretty good month for Choice subscribers, with Sonic Frontiers offering a fun open zone to dash around and complete various platforming puzzles – all the while offering a set of more traditional boost-era stages as well.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remaster is, as it says, a remaster of Lara Croft’s earlier outings. Released a little under a year ago, this package offers options for both classic and enhanced visuals thanks to the efforts of remaster specialists Aspyr.

Wizard of Legend 2 meanwhile is a fun single-player or co-op rogue-like offering a mix of dungeon crawling, fun and fast gameplay as well as a wide variety of upgrades. Though somewhat of a downgrade in art style compared to the first entry, Wizard of Legend 2 is still definitely worth checking out.

As always, a portion of your subscription will go towards charity, with this month supporting Gamers Outreach: “A nonprofit organization that exists to empower hospitalized families through video games.”

Riot Games officially announce console release date for 2XKO

7 janvier 2026 à 14:00

Right at the tail-end of last year, Riot Games seemingly accidentally leaked the official console release date for their new 2v2 fighter 2XKO. Though essentially already known, Riot have now republished the trailer officially confirming that 2XKO is launching on consoles in under two week’s time.

Making the announcement via an official console trailer, the team at Riot Games have once again (but properly this time) unveiled the console release date for 2XKO – with the free-to-play fighter arriving on the 20th of January alongside the game’s first Season.

As mentioned, 2XKO is a 2v2 fighter set in the world of League of Legends. Officially released back in September on PC, the game currently features a total of 11 playable characters, with more coming during the aforementioned Season 1.

As of now, the list of champions includes the following:

  • Ahri
  • Blitzcrank
  • Braum
  • Darius
  • Ekko
  • Illaoi
  • Jinx
  • Teemo
  • Vi
  • Warwick
  • Yasuo

Developing a fighting game is no easy task, and while early reactions to the PC version have been positive, we will have to wait and see what console players think of the game when it arrives in less than two weeks’ time.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the console release? Have you tried it on PC yet? Which characters do you hope are added early on in its post-launch life? Let us know down below.

Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and more officially cast in live-action Tomb Raider show

7 janvier 2026 à 11:00

Back in 2024 it was officially announced that Amazon was working on a live-action adaptation of the popular video game franchise Tomb Raider. While the titular Lara Croft was already confirmed to be played by Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, a large selection of the rest of the show’s cast have now been revealed.

Taking to the official Tomb Raider subreddit to make the announcement, Amazon Studios unveiled the list of supporting actors which have been cast in the upcoming live-action TV Prime Video show.

As mentioned, we already knew that Sophie Turner would be taking on the role of Lara Croft. That said, Amazon have now unveiled nearly a dozen other actors set to appear in the show, including but not limited to:

  • Jason Isaacs as Atlas DeMornay (Lara’s uncle)
  • Bill Paterson as Winston (Croft family Butler)
  • Martin Bobb-Semple as Zip (Lara’s friend)
  • Celia Imrie as Francine (Head of Advancement at the British Museum)
  • Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis (“a mysterious, high-flying woman who is keen to exploit Lara's talents”)

Tomb Raider live-action

Alongside the cast announcement, showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge shared the following message: “Tomb Raider boasts a plethora of iconic characters. I am thrilled to have been able to bring some personal and fan favourites to the screen while also introducing a few new rascals of our own to the mix. This cast is beyond my wildest dreams!”

The full list of announced cast members can be found HERE. Little is known about the plot for this live-action Tomb Raider, but with so many original characters being included, expect a story which is adjacent – but not directly comparable – to the games which it is based on.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the show? What do you think of the announced cast? Could this be the best Tomb Raider adaptation yet? Let us know down below.
