‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ returns to ‘World of Warships’ in August Update
It was so nice the first time, they’re doing it again. After making a stop in Call of Duty: Warzone earlier this year, Godzilla and King Kong content is making a return to Wargaming and Lesta Studio’s World of Warships in the game’s August update.
Previously released in April of last year in a time-limited event for World of Warships, Godzilla and Kong return as commanders for their respective battleships, the Japanese VIII Amagi and the American VIII North Carolina, complete with their unique camouflages. Premium containers will once again contain various items from last year’s event, with the possibility of acquiring permanent and expendable camouflages, commanders and economic bonuses. In addition, Ultimate Titan and Ultimate Guardian expendable camouflages will also be available for purchase once more.
This is all part of World of Warships‘ 0.11.7 update, which rolls out today. The update also includes a new seasonal content for the game, as well as improvements to the camera during battles, tweaks to submarines, new ships and more.
World of Warships is currently available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Meanwhile, after raking in $470 million worldwide last year, director Adam Wingard will be making his return behind the camera for the as-yet-untitled Godzilla vs. Kong sequel, which is expected to be released in theatres in March 2024.

Bloober Returns to ‘Star Trek’ With Psychological Thriller ‘Star Trek: Shadow Frontier’ [Trailer]
Bloober Team weren’t done dropping news this week. After surprising everyone with SAW: Genesis at Summer Game Fest yesterday, they’ve now announced a new horror-slanted Star Trek title with Paramount Games Studio in Star Trek: Shadow Frontier. This is the second Star Trek title Bloober has developed, having released the VR body horror title Star Trek: Infection earlier this year.
“We’ve long admired the way Bloober Team crafts deeply immersive, atmospheric experiences that keep players on the edge of their seats,” said Paramount Games Studio senior vice president and head of creative and production Shawn Kittelsen. “For Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, it was essential to partner with a studio that could both honor that legacy and push it forward. We have full confidence in Bloober’s ability to deliver a game that does justice to the ‘Star Trek’ name while bringing something bold and new to the beloved franchise.”
Launching for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam in 2027, Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is a story-driven action-adventure that sees players step into the role of former Lieutenant Ro Laren (voiced by Michelle Forbes). After crashing onto a distant planet overtaken by a strange consciousness, Ro Laren must survive in an environment that is as breathtaking as it is lethal. Ro’s mission is driven by duty and purpose. But here, discovery comes at a terrible cost. The more she uncovers, the deeper she is pulled into a corrupted labyrinth where her memories twist and the planet threatens to sever her connection to reality.
The hostile ecosystem of the planet poses a constant threat to Ro’s existence. It seeks to absorb Ro’s consciousness, burrowing deep into her mind and plaguing her with haunting visions. Environmental hazards and obstacles lurk around every corner. Exploration is both your only path to salvation and your potential undoing. Players will be able to use their Tricorder to scan and analyze items, and of course rely on their Phaser to solve puzzles and fend off enemies.
