This Week In Video Games 12/15/25 — 12/19/25

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

Just as we were expecting, this was certainly a full week of video games. Some of it is catching up from all of the big announcements we did have, while also offering up some other games that were left out of #TheGameAwards, as they would not drive money to the show. Titles like Clive Barker’s #HellraiserRevival and #Painkiller, even if others like #Divinity and #WARLOCK hit on the harsher themes and mature content in the same ways. It is kind of why you still need some of the mavericks like us out there covering the various video games that are not going to be big news for the “mainstream.” Gods, I hate that we are in this timeline of things where that needs to be the case.

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Is Back From The Ashes Again
 
Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Is Back From The Ashes Again

The latest update for Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora is out there just in time to celebrate the new #Avatar film

With the launch of the new film, it looks like the latest DLC for #AvatarFrontiers Of Pandora is ready for us all who have the game on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC. Not only ready, but with Massive Entertainment bringing forth some new enemies and other things for us to experience out there in the world that Ubisoft helped them bring to life. Also, a bit fitting with the new film being Avatar: Fire And Ash, this one is the From The Ashes expansion that was paid for way back when the game originally dropped. Now, let’s have a look at all of the new fun we can partake in after heading out to see the latest film. You know, because it all has to line up in some way…

WILL: Follow The Light Is ready For Us All To Playtest It
 
WILL: Follow The Light Is ready For Us All To Playtest It

The open playtest for #WILL: Follow The Light is ready for us all starting at Will’s Lighthouse

The puzzle adventure that is WILL: #FollowTheLight is finally ready for the #PC gamers out there to give it all a bit of a playtest, if you have an hour you wish to kill in the game. That is how much of the game that TomorrowHead Studio is ready to offer up to the growing fans so they can make sure that the game is fully ready for the launch in the first half of 2026 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Yes, this does also mean that the console games will not have a chance to experience all of this for WILL: Follow The Light early, but that is the state of gaming out there. Most Early Access and demos are on the PC side well before, or exclusively, on that side of the fence. Don’t let that sour you, though, as there is a need to have this title tested and ready for the world.

The Final Masterpiece Is Out There On The Switch For Layers Of Fear
 
The Final Masterpiece Is Out There On The Switch For Layers Of Fear

The final version of Layers Of Fear is out there on the Switch for many more gamers to see the horrors of #LayersOfFear

The holiday season can officially start now, as Layers Of Fear: Final Masterpiece Edition has landed on the #Switch2. A solid little collection of all of the titles and DLC that Bloober Team has out there for the IP, and a solid way to escape the horrors of the season with the horrors of the video game world. Those horrors are, at least, a little easier to handle and navigate. In my opinion, for sure, but I am certain many others have the same feeling. No matter the feeling on it all, you can now download Layers Of Fear on the handheld device to be fully ready to isolate away and use the new features that are going to be on the system. Let us remind you of those here…

The Dead Are Walking A Bit More In The New DLC For World War Z: Aftermath
 
The Dead Are Walking A Bit More In The New DLC For World War Z: Aftermath

A new crossover for World War Z: Aftermath is on the way with The Walking Dead and #WorldWarZ joining forces

It definitely feels as if it was a long-time coming, but we are finally getting that crossover from #TheWalkingDead and World War Z: Aftermath. It seems that the TV show just will never die at this point, and it is going to shamble on just a bit more with Saber Interactive bringing the IP into the long-running game. This feels like a crossover that should have happened a while ago, but fans still holding onto the World War Z game will be glad to see this DLC in January 2026, for the PS4, #PS5, Xbox One, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC. If not the specific characters and IP, it will bring a little more to experience in the game at the very least. Just as all good #DLC should do out there instead of giving us just fancy cosmetic swaps to employ.

GRAFT Splices A New Narrative For Us All To Try To Survive
 
GRAFT Splices A New Narrative For Us All To Try To Survive

A new RPG, GRAFT, is on the way to us all with #GRAFT asking a deep, philosophical question to us all

It’s not every day that we get a level of body horror and a philosophical question in our video games, but here we go with GRAFT. A new horror title that also has some RPG elements in it, coming from Harebrained to help ask some questions while also grossing some of you out. The question being, “how much of you could you replace before you are no longer the person you say you are?” A ship of Theseus question, but in terms of our physical bodies in the world that GRAFT has created. One where we can replace our bodies with those of others, not just to keep us all going, but perhaps to transform us into something a little more monstrous along the way. By our own choice at that. An interesting premise, let’s dive into that a bit more. #PC

Ella Mental Comes Alive In A New Deep Dive For Invincible VS
 
Ella Mental Comes Alive In A New Deep Dive For Invincible VS

Learn more about the new Invincible character, Elle Mental, as we dive deeper into the world of #InvincibleVS

While Elle Mental was put on display when we had the release date for Invincible VS, that is still April 30th, 2026, we did not have much else go on for the character. She is a new one made just for the game with all of the input from Skybound Games to help shape her, but we learned nothing much beyond that. Maybe some moves and that she will bring more of the power of the elements to the matches, but nothing in terms of who she is within the #Invincible universe. Given that the graphic novel’s creators were all onboard with the first appearance being on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC, this is going to be her big debut, so it is time to dive deep into the character and see a whole lot more gameplay to help shape her up.
