• Avatar: Fire and Ash has a full length trailer
• The anticipated threequel will be released on December 19
• It features returning names like Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña and Sigourney Weaver

The wait is over, Avatar fans, as we've got a first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is the third movie in James Cameron's sci-fi franchise and is set to be one of this year's biggest new movies.

The previous two entries in the series – 2009’s Avatar and 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water – were both box-office smashes. Hopefully, the third installment will see similar success when it's released on December 19.

Expectations among fans of the series are certainly high, with the trailer having already amassed nine million views at the time of writing. Take a look and see it for yourself below.

The new Avatar movie certainly looks intriguing, especially as it introduces Pandora’s newest adversary.

The movie will follow on from a heartbreaking moment in Avatar: The Way of Water, which means Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to open with Jake and Neytiri’s family as they grapple with grief following the loss of Neteyam, the couple's eldest child.

The family later encounters a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe called the Ash People, who are led by the fiery tribe leader, Varang. This same tribe has allied with Jake's enemy Miles Quaritch, causing conflict on Pandora to escalate.

Fire and Ash will have a runtime of three hours and 12 minutes, making it the longest installment in the franchise so far. This is exciting news for fans wanting to dive deeper into Cameron's beautifully shot universe.

There's great news on the casting front too as Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña and Sigourney Weaver are all reprising their roles in this movie.

We have a while to wait until Fire and Ash is released, but it'll be one to entertain us over the holiday season. I'm really hoping for good things.

• Endgame Gear software hijacked to serve malware
• Attack spotted by the company's community
• Endgame is making significant changes to prevent repeat occurrences

Gaming kit maker Endgame Gear has confirmed it was the victim of a supply chain attack which saw unidentified threat actors break into its website and replace a legitimate configuration tool with a trojanized version containing malware.

In an announcement posted on the company’s website, it said on June 26 2025, someone managed to replace a version of the Configuration Tool for the Endgame Gear OP1w 4k v2 wireless mouse, found on its product page, with a malicious fraud.

The tainted version remained on the site until July 9, when it was removed.

Hiding the attack in plain sight

the malware acts as an infostealer, so users should change their passwords, too, especially for important accounts such as banking, work, social media, email, and similar.

The company did not discuss how the threat actors broke in, or who they were, but stressed the trojanized version was found only on the product page for that specific peripheral, while the versions found on the downloads site, GitHub, or Discord, remained clean.

Software for other peripherals was not targeted, as well.

Endgame said it only spotted the intrusion after seeing “online discussions”, meaning it was the community that flagged the attack.

A more thorough analysis has shown that access to file servers was not compromised, and customer data was not accessed.

To prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, Endgame is killing product page-specific downloads, and is centralizing all downloads on its main download page.

Furthermore, it is implementing additional malware scans and reinforcing anti-malware protections on its hosting servers.

Users who downloaded the malware are advised to remove it, and to check for the presence of the folder "C:\ProgramData\Synaptics" (it could be hidden).

They should also run a full system scan, and download a clean version.
