Ubisoft has been struggling financially after some of its major games didn’t perform as well as expected. Last October, Tencent, which already owned a small part of Ubisoft, invested €1.2 billion (about $1.25 billion) to help.

Three months later, Ubisoft announced a significant reorganization, creating five creative teams, with Vantage being the first.

Eric Cartman is a hugely popular character on South Park, and remarkably, he hasn’t changed much since the show began. However, he wasn’t always portrayed as completely villainous.

Okay, so I’m really digging Ardelia in Arknights: Endfield, and honestly, when it comes to her gear, the Eternal Xiranite set is the only way to go. It’s all about boosting her attack – she’s a support, but that ATK% buff makes a huge difference!
