Autumn is the time when the ocean is roaring. And time to enjoy new content, too: it’s a good thing World of Warships: Legends is packed with new content in the latest update!  Alternate German Battleships in Early Access A new tech tree line is coming! Alternate German battleships with a personal mission for each will be available through regular and big Early Access crates. These battleships are all about improved secondary guns. They also have torpedoes on board at higher tiers, as well as a SONAR consumable from Tier V on. Plus, the Damage Control Party has a unique way of functioning – it only has three charges but reloads quicker than the same one on the counterparts.  The ships to get are Tier IV Derfflinger, Tier V Mackensen, Tier VI Prinz Heinrich, and Tier VII Zieten – the first ship of that tier ever to become obtainable through the Early Access framework.  Tier VIII Prinz Rupprecht will arrive with the next update – that means the line will be researchable in the tec

Rocket League has had dozens of fantastic cars added over the years, and now for the first time ever, players can get their hands on an in-game Ferrari 296 GTB! This gorgeous supercar brings an icon of Italian excellence onto the Soccar pitch in a major way. The Ferrari 296 GTB races into the game on August 31. Ferrari 296 GTB 2022 marks 75 years since the first car rolled out of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, which laid the foundation for a long story of victories on and off the track. The 296 GTB continues a long tradition of excellence by introducing a new V6 engine, the first installed on a road car sporting the Prancing Horse badge. Combined with an electric motor, it unleashes a massive 830 horsepower to deliver previously unthinkable performance levels. This new hybrid architecture, alongside the numerous technical and aerodynamic solutions packed within the 296 GTB ensures that this berlinetta completely redefines the whole concept of fun behind the wheel.

We knew that we wanted to explore these ideas with free updates sometime in the distant future, but we weren’t completely sure what to expect. The good news is… thanks to the amazing support from our community, we were able to make not one, not two, but three major content updates— all slated for release this year! Here’s what you need to know about the DLC: We are releasing three DLC updates over the next couple of months, each featuring a new side quest, story and challenge levels, and of course— new cards. These updates will be available to all Floppy Knights players at no additional cost. DLC 1: Phoebe’s Prototypes While Phoebe and Carlton are testing out new Floppy Knights prototypes in her basement workshop, they get the bright idea to run a program to let them mod themselves. What could possibly go wrong? A quick look at the update:
