Stylish and large-scale turn-based strategy game Cantata has now landed into Early Access

The freshly released Cantata is a stylish hybrid between a classic turn-based strategy game and something like Factorio. As such, you need to not only outmaneuver and overwhelm your opponents with a wide assortment of units, but also ensure your entire production line and supply chain are able to keep up so you don't find yourself suddenly stranded in enemy territory.
What this looks like in action, however, that you can get a pretty good impression of through the launch trailer below. Have a gander:

[Update #2]: MultiVersus' Season 1 update has just added the first Battle Pass, while Rick & Morty will be coming soon.
[Update]: MultiVersus has now launched in full, and alongside a rather spectacular player count!
If you're a fan of Super Smash Bros. inspired fighting games, you might be interested to hear that Warner Bros.' is working on a cross-over madhouse by the name of MultiVersus. To put it quite simply, MultiVersus is a primarily 2v2 platform fighter where characters like Batman, Superman, Bugs Bunny, Jake the Dog, Shaggy and even Arya Stark get to smash each other over the head with a large array of ridiculous attacks.
Since words alone can't exactly do the concept justice, allow me to share with you the official trailer. Have a gander, it's quite the sight to behold:

Rather than simply use randomization to generate unique levels and loot to help spice up the gameplay, the freshly released roguelite Source of Madness has decided to push things to the absolute extreme. As such, not only are the locations procedurally generated and rendered in a bizarre yet intriguing AI-assisted art style, but the actual monsters are created completely at random and animated using a neural network!
Needless to say the end result is a complete and utter nightmare of a world, which luckily goes quite well with Source of Madness's Lovecraftian horror themes! Since words alone just can't do this concept justice, allow me to share with you one of the recent trailers. Have a gander, it sure is a sight to behold:

It brings with it six playable factions, an absolute ton of units and monsters to play around with, as well as the usual assortment of PC improvements.
Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you the PC gameplay trailer. It's a fairly lengthy one, so it should clue you in quite quickly on just what The Legend of Runersia is really all about. Have a gander:
