Task:
Perform deep research into global games released or in active beta between January 2026 and October 2026 integrating AI Agents into gameplay.
Identify and analyze at least 5 prominent titles across ARPG, RPG, MMO, and tactical action genres (e.g., InZOI, Where Winds Meet, BitCraft, Delta Force/Arena Breakout AI tactical squads, Dune Awakening companions, emergent generative agent simulations, or 2026 ARPGs).

For each of the >= 5 games, analyze:
1. Game Title, Release/Beta Date (2026), Developer/Publisher, Genre & Perspective (especially Isometric / Top-Down / 3D).
2. AI Agent Integration Mechanism: Autonomous companion, emergent NPC behavior, automated offline delegation, tactical combat co-op.
3. Technical Architecture & Latency: Local reflex vs Cloud LLM, inference latency, streaming thought/dialogue vs real-time combat execution.
4. Player Loop & Economy Impact: How AI agents participate in grinding, item harvesting, player retention, and anti-abuse safeguards.
5. Key Strengths & Pitfalls: What worked, what players complained about (latency, dumb AI, immersion breaking, pay-to-win automation).

Output:
Write a comprehensive, professional research report to:
`c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_ai_games_1\handoff.md`
Format with detailed tables, concrete metrics, technical citations, and clear synthesis.
Update your `progress.md` during execution. When done, send a message back to the orchestrator.
