Thea, a longtime Street Fighter™ fan, brings her strength, style, and electrifying personality to the growing roster of illustrious color commentators in Street Fighter 6. She is a current WWE Superstar, self-proclaimed gamer, and no stranger to the Street Fighter franchise, even modeling her ring gear as Juri at this weekend’s WWE Royal Rumble in San Antonio, Texas.

“I’ve been an avid gamer since I was a child and a huge fan of Street Fighter,” said Thea Trinidad. “I can still remember epic matches with my brother, and I would always beat him with my favorite character Vega. It’s surreal to now be a part of this amazing franchise and I am honored and thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Check out the trailer here on YouTube, while more info and assets can be found at the Street Fighter 6 website.

Legends first major update of the year sees plenty of Pan-Asian content in celebration for Lunar New Year, alongside the game’s first Legendary Italian ship the fourth instalment of Azur Lane content and more

30^th January – World of Warships are ringing in the Lunar New Year on consoles in World of Warships: Legends. This update is jam-packed with content, including ships, a Commander, and specialty skins. Legends also welcomes the fourth wave of Azur Lane to its harbours, a Legendary Italian cruiser to the research Bureau and yet another classic five-week, 100 milestone campaign with the German Tier VIII Premium battleship, Pommern, waiting at the end.

Pan-Asian Arrivals

Welcoming the Year of the Rabbit, a boatload of Pan-Asian content has bounced into Legends. Kicking off these Lunar New Year celebrations is a brand-new dragon Commander guise, equipped with its own special voiceover. Keeping the scaly theme going, Tier VII Premium Pan-Asian destroyer, Northern Dragon, makes a debut, alongside a number of special, Pan-Asian skins for a handful of ships to get in on the festivities.

On top of this, Lunar New Year sees a dedicated crate come to the game, and a whole new branch of four Tier IV-VII tech tree cruisers coming to Early Access. These ships, sporting some hefty deep-water torpedoes, each come with a personal mission to complete. This branch will become researchable in the next update and make way for the introduction of the line-topping Tier VIII Sejong.

Ladies, ships, and guns

A fabulous quintet, this Azur Lane reinforcement, same as the previous three waves, is based on the Azur Lane Characters. Those are: Eagle Union New Jersey, Royal Navy Neptune, Iron Blood Roon, Northern Parliament Chapayev, and last, but definitely not least comes Iris Libre – the first character of this faction to grace Legends’ waters – Saint Louis.

Two shiny new ships will dock in the port.No captain is worthy enough without their ships, so a couple of those, Azur Lane New Jersey as a battleship and Azur Lane Chapayev as a cruiser, are joining US and Soviet Navies, respectively.

Three more new skins, Azur Lane Roon (for German navy), Azur Lane Neptune (for Royal Navy), and Azur Lane Saint Louis will be obtainable alongside aforementioned in-game items. However, all of these require having an original version of the warship to be useful.

The new Azur Lane crate, unlike the iterations of previous parts of the collaboration, does not drop only the current wave Commanders. Instead, it contains a chance for every item of the collaboration, among other in-game goodies.

Campaign, Competitive Modes and More

Wrapping up this packed update is another classic Legends campaign. Waiting at the end of the five-week, 100-milestone Griffin of the Baltic campaign is the solid German Tier VIII Premium battleship Pommern. This vessel boasts a solid HP pool alongside a powerful secondary battery and mighty AP shells. This update also sees three extended seasons of Ranked Battles and two also-extended Brawls to the game, with Ranked Battles available to  ships spanning Tier V-VII to engage in five-on-five battles.

Closing out January’s update, Legends also welcomes its first Legendary Tier Italian ship, with cruiser Napoli of Regia Marina joining as a free Bureau project.

This update also brings a number of bug fixes, upgrades and balance changes across the game.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns First Post-Launch DLC Now Available; Recruit Deadpool to Your Team Today and Embark on New Story Missions

2K and Marvel Entertainment announced that The Good, the Bad, and the Undead*, Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ first post-launch DLC featuring Deadpool, is now available worldwide on Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. 

In The Good, the Bad, and the Undead, Hydra forces are closing in on an artifact brimming with ancient power, which just so happens to be on Deadpool’s shopping list for his mysterious benefactor. The Midnight Suns are forced to step in and put a stop to any supernatural shenanigans before things get out of hand—which is all but guaranteed whenever Wade Wilson’s involved. Included in The Good, the Bad, and the Undead:

• New Recruitable Hero: Deadpool, an in-your-face damage dealer wielding 10 unique Hero Abilities
• New Story Missions: Fight a host of fresh enemy types across challenging new encounters
• New Abbey Upgrade: Deadpool’s Food Truck
• 3 Additional Hero Skins, 7 Abbey Outfits, and 3 Swimsuits for Deadpool

The new story missions are available after players complete the “Spidermaaaans” story mission and Spider-Man unmasks in the Abbey during Act One. After players complete the first new story mission, “A Man of Culture”, Deadpool can be recruited to players’ rosters.

On the battlefield, Deadpool is an elite damage dealer who can grow incredibly powerful in a mission as long as he is protected from taking damage. He has a special En Fuego meter that will increase whenever a player KOs an enemy with a Deadpool ability; when the meter is filled, it provides a “stack” of the En Fuego buff which can increase the potency of his abilities. The meter is then reset and can be filled again.

Building Deadpool’s Food Truck upgrade in the Abbey unlocks the ability to Discard a card and convert it into a Move once per encounter. The Food Truck can be upgraded again so that Discarding a card grants even more tactical capabilities. 

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead is available today for Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is rated M. For more information on Marvel’s Midnight Suns, visit www.midnightsuns.com and sign up for the 2K newsletter, become a fan on Facebook, subscribe on YouTube, follow on Twitter and Instagram, and join the conversation using the hashtag #MidnightSuns. 

Firaxis Games is a 2K studio. 2K is a wholly owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO).

*The Good, the Bad, and the Undead DLC pack available for individual purchase, requires base game. DLC pack also included with Marvel’s Midnight Suns Season Pass which is included with the Legendary Edition and available to purchase separately.
