As for other games, 'A Rebel Moon' is also under development at Super Evil Megacorp, and will “take place following the events of 'Rebel Moon-Part One: A Child Of Fire' and 'Rebel Moon-Part Two: The Scargiver.' Fans will have the liberty to “choose their rebel” and fight along with their friends in a “four-player co-op action game."

Three classic 'Grand Theft Auto' games, licensed under Rockstar Games, are among the exciting selection of games. Under the title 'Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition,' this compilation brings together the beloved games 'Grand Theft Auto III,' 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,' and 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.'
