Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, an evocative landscape of the game One of the most ambitious projects ever for Ubisoft, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will take advantage of the great anticipation of the second film in the film saga directed by James Cameron and its evocative lore to catapult us into an engaging open world adventure set on Pandora, the planet inhabited by the Na'Vi tribes.In the game we will not directly control the character of Jake Sully, but an original protagonist who will find himself exploring an area never seen before first, the West Frontier, in search of something we do not yet know. In this part of Pandora, mysterious and dangerous creatures move, but also the ruthless troops of the RDA, determined to exploit the resources of the planet.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human
The Techland series has always boasted an open world setting, but in the case of Dying Light 2: Stay Human the setting of the game will be even more wide and full of things to do and see. Against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic scenario in which zombies have wiped out society as we know it, we will have to move to the big city and deal with the factions that govern it.Who will we decide to fight? And who will we try to pull on our side? Every choice we make will have precise consequences which we will have to live with, and which may influence the course of events. When it comes to action, against human or undead enemies, we will be able to take advantage of an even more spectacular parkour-style movement system and powerful modular weapons. The tried and tested of Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Elden Ring
Elden Ring, a look at the wide and disturbing open world scenario If it is true that the Dark Souls series has always lacked the open world component, Elden Ring will try to fill this gap in the best possible way, projecting us into a whole world created in collaboration with the famous writer George RR Martin. In the Elden Ring trial we talk about a dark fantasy setting as disturbing as it is fascinating, even more dangerous and divided after the destruction of the Elden Ring.The fragments of the ring are hidden somewhere, and in the shoes of a warrior without the light we will have the task of exploring the vast scenario and facing the many pitfalls in order to find them, restore the artifact and become the Elden Lord. With a combat system and a degree of challenge frighteningly close to the tradition of From Software, will we be able to carry out this task?
Forspoken
Forspoken, the protagonist explores the setting The life of Frey Holland, a normal New York girl, is turned upside down when she finds herself in the magical world of Athia, ruthlessly ruled by a group of women with incredible powers, the so-called "Tanta". Frey discovers that she too has special abilities, at least in this new dimension, and decides to use them to help the inhabitants and find a way to get home.This is the incipit of Forspoken, the open world action game produced by Square Enix and developed by Luminous Productions, a studio that can count on the contribution of people like Gary Whitta and Amy Hennig. Among the peculiarities of the game there is the possibility of using the magical powers of the protagonist also to move at high speed, flying from one land to another. The preview of Forspoken.
