The newest Scarlet Nexus trailer highlights protagonist Kasane Randall and the purpose of the red strings, and also reveals a close release date.

From now until April 26, World of Warcraft players can unlock pets for all WoW players by meeting some donation goals for medical humanitarian aid organization Doctors Without Borders. What lovable little creatures are available? It’s Bananas, the Monkey and Daisy, the Sloth. Awww! World of Warcraft regularly participates in charity events such as this one, generally with some adorable pets available as part of the program. 

These donations are going specifically to the MSF COVID-19 Crisis Fund, which supports the Doctors Without Borders response to the COVID 19 pandemic on a global scale. Operating in over 70 countries, these teams are focused on protecting high-risk individuals and keeping medical services running during this ongoing crisis.

This time around, there are two big donation goals to meet as a collective which convey pets to all World of Warcraft players, so you don’t need to worry about hitting a certain donation tier as an individual to unlock anything. Note: These pets do not apply to World of Warcraft Classic and World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic.

At the $500,000 goal tier, players can collect Bananas, the Monkey. This pet was originally available to a special few during The Burning Crusade, this is a new and frankly unexpected opportunity for players to collect this elite critter.

At $1 million, Daisy the Sloth unlocks. This is a completely new cute addition to the pet roster, and marks the first time that a pet can be carried around on a player’s back. Adorable and stylish! Check out how it looks attached to a player below! 

Want to contribute to the cause? Or are you just looking to accelerate the rise of those Daisies to bring them to every single dungeon, raid, and battleground? Either way, donations are currently being accepted at the official website here.

The Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary Celebration is underway and there’s a ton of content for fans and newcomers to get their hands on and experience. In addition to the Definitive Survivor Trilogy, Cookbook,  and “The Lost Valley” statue announcements during the Square Enix Presents showcase, Tomb Raider crossovers were also revealed. The three games getting the Tomb Raider content include Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: War of the Visions, and Fortnite (Creative). 

Details surrounding exactly how the action adventure franchise will mesh with Breakpoint and Final Fantasy are still unknown. Based on previous Ghost Recon content, this could potentially be an opportunity where players can navigate the open world alongside Lara. Or maybe fan-favorite tombs will be explorable; only time will tell. The Final Fantasy crossover is perhaps the most mysterious of the three; who knows how Lara (or any other popular Tomb Raider characters) will play into the fantastical world of Square Enix’s most beloved franchise. 

Fortnite, of course, is well known for its myriad crossovers. Earlier this week, Epic Games announced that Fortnite Season 6 would introduce a single-player experience, three Lara Croft skins, and wild animals. The new crossover between Tomb Raider and Fortnite, however, is coming to the latter’s Creative mode; the Croft Manor will be a fully explorable arena. 

While you wait for the upcoming Tomb Raider crossovers, keep an eye out for content surrounding Square Enix’s other titles like Life Is Strange’s latest chapter and Black Panther’s exciting arrival to Marvel’s Avengers. Are you excited for the Tomb Raider crossovers? What do you think the content will look like? Let us know in the comments below.
