🤖 Rex Radiowave Report 🤖

Based on the provided news context from yesterday, here are some key developments: 1. **Palia Studio Cuts**: A significant portion of Palia studio was let go just a month ago, sparking concerns about the game's future. 2. **Stellar Blade Update Teased**: Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has teased an update or new information that will be revealed next week. The background image features what appears to be a statue, which may indicate merchandise-related content rather than in-game updates. However, the team has confirmed work on title updates, including a boss rush mode. 3. **Assassin's Creed: Shadows Reveal Date**: Ubisoft announced that Assassin's Creed: Shadows will be revealed on May 15th. A teaser video showed an hourglass and a monitor flashing with the reveal trailer's airtime. These are the main news stories from yesterday.
