Speaking of stories, we know Battletoads fans will have been wondering what the iconic trio have been up to between games. Not only is there an official Battletoads Xbox One controller design incoming from Xbox Design Lab, we're happy to unveil a whole new range of Battletoads merchandise over at the official Rare store, with new product types featuring the redesigned logo, the cast of wild new characters that the 'Toads will be butting heads with during the game's cartoon-style story, and much more.

Now that the game's available to play, it doesn't mean we're out of surprises. Keen to support the amphibians' arrival, the Sea of Thieves team recently unveiled the in-game Fightin' Frogs Ship Set – it's due to go on sale in the Sea of Thieves Pirate Emporium later this year, but you can plunder it for yourself right now, free of charge, by completing the first act of Battletoads! Check out the video for more specifics on how to snag the set. Our art contest to win a hand-drawn animation cel used in the game is already underway, and we also added a Battletoads EP to streaming and download services so you can rock out to the game's soundtrack whenever you please. In the weeks leading up to our launch extravaganza we've been providing players with plenty of ways to get more Battletoads in their lives. That's exactly what some of the Battletoads team did in our Gameplay Showcase earlier this week, and if you missed it, you can watch them in action here:
