The Analogue Pocket's always turned heads: first for being the most authentic-seeming Game Boy replacement ever announced, then for taking an extraordinary length of time to finally come out. But come out it did, and it was pretty good. For some, its biggest drawback was that it required old, increasingly expensive…

     GTA 6 protagonists reportedly cut in bid to scale game down

Following the news that the GTA 6 protagonists will be a dynamic duo reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde, a brief new report surfaced that said there used to be even more heroes in the crime game, or anti-heroes depending on your perspective. Axios' Stephen Totilo followed up on Bloomberg's initial report and said his sources previously told him Rockster planned on having four GTA 6 protagonists. The original plan was reportedly also to include three cities. Bloomberg's report said GTA 6 will take place in one city at launch – Miami – with future updates adding more locations after release.

     How the new Hitman 3 map became a tropical pirate playground

Ambrose Island, the new Hitman 3 map, is out now and takes Agent 47 to a location rather different from what he's used to. Gone are the mansions of Sapienza and the clean, efficient laboratories of Chongqing. In their place is a rugged, lawless environment where smugglers and pirates clash and 47 learns a bit more about his erstwhile companion, Lucas Grey.

PCGamesN spoke with Kevin Goyon, IO Interactive's live game director for Hitman 3, about how the team brought Ambrose Island to life and what opportunities creating such a remote setting opened up for design and storytelling.

     Overwatch 2 Patch Mercy Symmetra ChangesMercy and Moira are two hands of the same coin — both healers, both in an Overwatch 2 identity crisis. During the last Overwatch 2 beta, Moira and Mercy received some reworks to put them more in line with the fast-paced nature of the game. However, their reworks received less than stellar feedback, especially as some fans found issues that should have been caught in testing. Activision Blizzard won't give up on changing these heroes, however, with the developers confirming they will continue to update both Moira and Mercy as Overwatch 2 develops. Moira's Necrotic Orb replaced her well-known Damage Biotic Orb in Overwatch 2, firing a straight-moving projectile that explodes when it impacts on an enemy or environment. This projectile inflicted low damage, but added the "Weakened" effect on enemies hit, which reduced the damage they dealt by 75% for 4 seconds. Ironically, this made Moira more passive to play, as explained in the Overwatch 2 blog post. The dev...

     Lost Ark roadmap Pet RanchJust today, the developers of the free-to-play MMO Lost Ark posted a news update on the game's official website. This update covers the August and September roadmap for Lost Ark, which will see the developers releasing three updates of varying sizes across both months. Notably, this marks a change from the developers' usual release strategy of dropping a sizable new update every month. This time, players will receive "a smaller content update in August, a quality of life and back-end tech update in early September, and a final major content update near the end of September." August's content update will introduce the Pet Ranch, a new location tailor-made for hanging out with your pet. Players can engage with the Pet Ranch's activities to boost their pets' morale, and they can also acquire scrumptious Jelly Cookies to trade for rewards. Additionally, the August update will implement new activities in the Maharaka festival, which seem to cente...
