Nintendo has many popular game series that would be great on the new Switch 2. We already know a new Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, is coming in 2026, but there are plenty of other Nintendo favorites we’re hoping to see on the system as well. Here are a few of the most anticipated.
The Elden Ring Reforged 2.0 mod (available on Nexus Mods) dramatically changes the game, offering a fresh and original experience.

Beyond the newest games, Xbox Game Pass boasts a large library of critically acclaimed titles from recent years, covering all sorts of genres. It’s perfect for players who aren’t focused on what’s popular and just want to play something that feels right. With so much variety, here’s a look at some of the best games currently on Xbox Game Pass (as of November 2025) that you’ll likely want to play through multiple times.
Before its release, Assassin’s Creed Shadows faced a lot of criticism. Players and reviewers voiced concerns about changes made to historical characters and the ability to damage objects within sacred spaces. Despite this, the game achieved record-breaking sales for the series and became a top-selling title in the first half of 2025. However, some players remain hesitant due to the game’s microtransactions.
Aerith and Garnet both play vital supporting roles in their Final Fantasy games. While both are skilled as White Mages, Garnet also functions as a Summoner, able to call on powerful creatures called Eidolons during fights. Aerith, on the other hand, uses Materia to be more adaptable, allowing her to both attack from a distance and protect her allies. Aerith’s special attacks, like Breath of Wind, focus on healing, while Garnet uses Trance to significantly enhance her magical abilities.
Because you’ll get most materials from fighting, exploring, and defeating bosses, it’s key to learn how to use them to craft helpful potions, items, and weapons. You can also improve your gear by upgrading existing items to keep them useful as you progress through Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive.
A key feature of any Call of Duty Zombies map, especially since the first Easter egg in Der Riese, is how engaging its quests are. In this area, Ashes of the Damned significantly improves upon TranZit. While TranZit’s dual-path quest system was innovative, both sides of the Easter egg were ultimately repetitive and unrewarding. The reward itself was largely forgettable; beyond an achievement, players only received infrequent item drops from a pylon in a dangerous and hard-to-reach cornfield – an area with little reason to revisit after completing the quest. Furthermore, the map lacked substantial side quests beyond building the Jet Gun and obtaining Persistent Perks, which limited its overall depth.
The Forgotten Realms is a hugely popular world in Dungeons & Dragons. From the frozen lands of Icewind Dale to the bustling city of Waterdeep, the continent of Faerun (located on the world of Toril) has served as the backdrop for countless adventures. You can find it in books, video games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Neverwinter, the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and adventure modules like Tyranny of Dragons and The Legend of Drizzt. Recently, two new D&D books, Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun and Heroes of Faerun, have further expanded this beloved setting.
