WePlay Teams Up with the TV Anime Attack on Titan for a U.S. Themed Campaign

Published

on

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WePlay, a social entertainment app operated by Singapore-based WEJOY PTE. LTD., will launch a themed collaboration with the TV anime Attack on Titan for users in the United States from October 9 to 31, 2026. The campaign will introduce themed pages, limited visual content and online interactive experiences throughout October, giving users new ways to discover the collaboration while playing and connecting with friends.

An October Collaboration Built Around Shared Participation

The campaign will bring the TV anime Attack on Titan into WePlay’s U.S. social entertainment experience through a series of themed content updates. Rather than presenting the collaboration as a separate destination, WePlay will integrate it into the multiplayer games, avatars, voice rooms and community interaction that users already encounter across the app.

Content will be introduced according to the campaign schedule, creating recurring moments for users to return, follow updates and talk about the collaboration together. Users will be able to experience the campaign during everyday game sessions and online gatherings, making the collaboration a shared topic across different parts of the WePlay experience.

The U.S. campaign with the TV anime Attack on Titan will add another theme for users to discover, discuss and experience together. It also reflects WePlay’s continued exploration of cross-cultural content collaborations that can complement multiplayer play and real-time online interaction.

“Users in the United States connect interests across games, animation and online communities in many different ways,” said a WePlay spokesperson. “This collaboration will introduce a new shared topic while allowing users to participate through the multiplayer games and real-time interaction they already know on WePlay. We will continue developing localized content and cross-cultural collaborations that give users more to discover, enjoy and share whenever they open the app.”

Multiplayer Games as a Natural Starting Point for Online Interaction

WePlay combines multiplayer party games, voice-based interaction, avatars, voice rooms and themed online events in one social entertainment app. Games provide a clear shared activity, giving participants something immediate to discuss, react to and enjoy together.

WePlay offers different styles of play for different group dynamics. Who is Spy centers on language, deduction and expression. Space Werewolf brings social deduction and team interaction into a real-time multiplayer setting. Draw & Guess encourages creative interpretation, while Grab Mic combines music with voice-based participation. Together, these experiences give users multiple ways to join a group, spend time with friends and take part in casual online entertainment.

Interaction can continue after a round ends. Users can move into voice rooms, express themselves through avatars and profiles, and discover new themes through ongoing in-app events. This combination allows shared play to develop into a broader social experience, connecting the immediate energy of a multiplayer game with continued conversation and personal expression.

Building Localized Content Across Markets

Alongside product updates, WePlay develops anniversary celebrations, seasonal campaigns, locally inspired programs and IP collaborations for users in different markets. These initiatives are designed to enter the same spaces where users already play and interact, including games, voice rooms, avatars and community features.

WePlay adapts communication and content presentation to local languages, cultural contexts and user habits. Previous initiatives have included Songkran-themed content in Thailand, anniversary campaigns in Japan, culturally focused collaborations in the Middle East and IP programs across multiple regions. WePlay has also launched themed collaborations involving Care Bears, Chibi Maruko-chan, Bugcat Capoo and the Emirati animated IP Freej.

In April 2025, WePlay’s Thailand Songkran campaign was featured on the App Store Today homepage in Thailand. In January 2026, WePlay’s brand campaign appeared on a Times Square digital billboard in New York. These milestones form part of WePlay’s ongoing effort to connect localized content experience with broader international brand communication.

New Marketplace App delivers real-time workforce intelligence and actionable labor productivity insights for healthcare organizations

CHICAGO, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Impact Advisors, a leading healthcare management consulting firm, today announced the launch of OPTIX Workforce Intelligence, a healthcare-focused workforce analytics and labor productivity solution now available on Workday Marketplace.

“Healthcare leaders need timely, actionable information to effectively manage labor, align staffing with patient demand and respond to rapidly changing operational conditions,” said Brian Evans, vice president, Workday Services at Impact Advisors

Built natively in Workday, OPTIX Workforce Intelligence helps healthcare organizations improve labor productivity, workforce planning and operational decision-making through real-time analytics, benchmarking and actionable dashboards. The solution combines payroll, organizational, worker and cost center data in Workday with optional operational data, including EHR statistics, agency labor information and departmental targets.

“Healthcare leaders need timely, actionable information to effectively manage labor, align staffing with patient demand and respond to rapidly changing operational conditions,” said Brian Evans, vice president of Workday services, Impact Advisors. “OPTIX Workforce Intelligence brings those insights directly into Workday, giving leaders a familiar, secure environment where they can understand performance, identify opportunities and move from insight to action.”

OPTIX Workforce Intelligence provides workforce productivity dashboards, variance reporting, trend analysis, scorecards, and forecasting insights for department leaders, finance teams, HR leaders, workforce planning teams, and executives. Users can monitor overtime, agency and non-productive labor; evaluate pay-period and year-to-date workforce variances; benchmark performance; and drill into the factors affecting labor productivity and cost.

The solution connects labor insights with operational decisions. For example, nurse managers can assess census, acuity, volume, worked hours, paid hours, and labor costs to determine whether staffing is aligned with current needs. Finance leaders can use enterprise and cost-center views to examine labor performance, understand demand, and identify how overtime, agency labor, and non-productive time affect overall costs.

Because OPTIX Workforce Intelligence operates within Workday, organizations benefit from the Workday user experience, navigation, reporting, governance, and native security framework. The solution also reduces reliance on spreadsheets, disconnected reporting tools, and manual data feeds while helping organizations maximize the value of their existing Workday investment.

OPTIX Workforce Intelligence uses Workday Prism Analytics to blend Workday-native information with optional external operational data. Customers subscribing to the Marketplace solution receive the Prism capability required for OPTIX Workforce Intelligence as part of the subscription, eliminating the need to purchase a separate standalone Workday Prism Analytics license.

“Labor performance management belongs at the core of the ERP, not outside of it,” added Dan Sell, vice president, Workday Innovation. “By embedding workforce intelligence into the system healthcare leaders already use, OPTIX Workforce Intelligence helps organizations connect actions to outcomes, plan proactively and make informed labor decisions with greater speed and confidence.”

OPTIX Workforce Intelligence works with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), Workday Payroll, Organizations, Cost Centers, and Worker Data, as well as optional external sources such as EHR statistics, agency labor systems, and budgeting or target systems. The solution supports healthcare organizations seeking to address rising labor costs, staffing shortages, workforce allocation challenges, and labor productivity improvement initiatives.

ClassLink Launches Insights To Help Schools See How Edtech Relates To Student Outcomes

Published

on

By

CLIFTON, N.J., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ClassLink announces the availability of ClassLink Insights, a learning analytics product that helps school systems answer one of the toughest questions facing education: How does edtech usage relate to student outcomes?

Usage reports show how often students use digital resources. Assessments show how their scores change. Insights brings that data together, giving school leaders evidence from their own school system to inform instructional and investment decisions.

“What excites me most about Insights is not that it will give us all the answers, but that it will help us ask better questions about technology in the classroom. By connecting how students are using digital resources with student outcomes, we can begin to understand what’s really working, where we need to dig deeper, and make more informed decisions to support student success.” – Dr. Jessica Preisig, Asst. Superintendent for Technology Services, School District of Pickens County

School systems can run analyses on demand using their assessment results and the app usage data ClassLink already collects. The findings can inform edtech investment decisions and help leaders identify where implementation needs a closer look.

To support those decisions, Insights reports show:

Weekly usage levels associated with the greatest estimated score gainsHow many students use a resource and how consistentlyHow usage patterns vary across schools, grades, and classes

Leaders can also examine results by student group. Insights pulls demographic data from ClassLink Roster Server, to support analyses for English learners, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students.

“When usage is associated with stronger growth in one student group than another, the next question is why. Access, instruction, and implementation may all play a role. Insights gives districts evidence to investigate those differences.” – Mary Batiwalla, AVP of Product Management, ClassLink

Schedule a Demo or Join a Webinar

Insights is available now for $2.00/user per year. Visit classlink.com/insights to request a demo or quote.

ClassLink will host a one-hour webinar led by Mary Batiwalla on October 14 and October 20. Both sessions will use sample data to demonstrate how Insights allows schools to analyze the relationship between app usage and student growth. View session times and register.
