Wargaming and Hasbro have teamed up to bring the Transformers to World of Warships (PC) and World of Warships: Legends on console in September. That's right, Transformers. Weird, fun collaborations are no stranger to World of Warships, which has also been injected with other stuff like anime over the years.

Now, we've got the big names from one of the biggest robot brands out there coming to do battle. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Rumble are all coming to the big sea brawl, complete with ship skins and voiceovers. The upcoming content patch will also include special missions, containers, flags, patches and more that sync up with the Transformers. Sounds pretty out there, right? Take a look at the trailer below to see how these 80's cartoon legends arrive in World of Warships.

Fae Tactics is out on Steam now, and it has a spiffy new launch trailer that zooms through many of the game's features. Fae Tactics is a "Final Fantasy Tactics-like" which is sort of a subgenre of the greater strategy RPG landscape. While not a strict adherent like Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark, there's a lot of the same DNA coursing through its fae anatomy.

Defeat creatures in the world you can then summon to use as your own, cook up cake buffs while you camp between matches, and beef up your bike to travel to more exotic destinations as you search for your mother while fighting the forces of darkness. You can even party up with a boxing chicken. Check out the launch trailer below!

Hot on the heels of a dormant, long-overdue-for-a-sequel Ubisoft video game franchise getting a Netflix series in Splinter Cell, another IP from the Ubisoft stable fans have been waiting a long time to continue playing in is making the leap to the digital-streaming service. Beyond Good & Evil, the cult classic 2003 title, is receiving a Netflix feature adaptation that reportedly blends live action with animation. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rob Letterman, who directed 2019's Detective Pikachu, is set to take up directorial duties on the Beyond Good & Evil adaptation, with Jason Altman and Margaret Boykin form Ubisoft Film & Television producing. According to the report, the adaptation is already in early development, and the team is searching for writers at the moment.

Fans of Beyond Good & Evil have been clamoring for a new entry in the series, and at E3 2017, Ubisoft announced Beyond Good & Evil 2 with a cinematic trailer. Unfortunately, details have been relatively scarce ever since. However, earlier this month, Ubisoft confirmed that the long-awaited game sequel is still coming along, but fans shouldn't expect to hear too much in the near future.

Despite all of the new info about Halo Infinite we got last week, some details were conspicuously absent. Namely, Microsoft and 343 Industries weren't talking about multiplayer, which is traditionally a major draw for the series. 

Today, the official Halo Twitter account confirmed rumors that the upcoming game's multiplayer mode will be free-to-play, making it accessible to people regardless of whether or not they purchase Halo Infinite.   

Halo is for everyone. We can confirm #HaloInfinite multiplayer will be free-to-play and will support 120FPS on Xbox Series X. More details will be shared later! pic.twitter.com/9bIrppFiON

The tweet also confirms that the Xbox Series X version will support 120 frames per second – presumably compared to the Xbox One version, which likely won't. 

This free-to-play move is a big one for a series that has earned just as much (if not more) acclaim for its multiplayer modes than its single-player offerings. When the 343 and Microsoft are ready to share more details, we are eager to hear what they have to say.
