In April 2016, campaigns for the Battlefield Infinity mobile simulation game continued to dominate, but the usual satellite activity kept rolling and we even got what is likely to be the very last 2199 art book.

With the premiere day of Ark of the Stars in the rear view mirror, things slowed down somewhat for the rest of the month; December 7-31 saw roughly the same activity as the first five days.
