EA's Battlefield is reportedly attracting Hollywood's attention, with Christopher McQuarrie set to write, direct, and produce the adaptation, and Michael B. Jordan attached as a producer. The project is being pitched to various studios, aiming for a theatrical release.

India remains the world's largest mobile market by volume, with around 25 billion app downloads a year. Annual in-app purchase revenue passed $1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $1.25 billion by the end of 2026.

"There isn't that much room to grow in terms of audience and impressions we can drive from our own account."

Roku City Dash is set in Roku City, featuring iconic buildings and Easter eggs. Players aim to keep their spaceship flying as long as possible, with a high score to beat.

Poncle is developing three basic types of games: spinoffs to Vampire Survivors, original IPs, and roguelites with similar mechanics to Vampire Survivors, using other IPs.

Dredge+ is the complete edition of the game, with all released DLC content. This is pretty much a perfect video game that combines fishing with bone-chilling horror.

"We [are using] the famous Vampire Survivors IP to experiment in new genres. We love card games, but we are not very good at card games. They're complicated. So, we made the game that we wanted to play."

I want to proliferate the wisdom and the experience those other great studios - and bad - have given me, and be able to fold that into new experiences, and try my hand at it.

I haven't played Crimson Desert enough, but we had everything that I've seen from Crimson Desert in the plans for that game. It was signed with a big publisher that has a lot of famous IPs...And then they just changed business direction again and wanted to focus on their existing IPs instead of new ones. They broke up with us on a text message, which I will never forgive them for.

The ease with which the plagiarized game was generated has developers concerned about the future implications of sharing their projects online.

AI-driven authoring is our second major area of focus for 2026. At the Game Developer Conference in March, we'll be unveiling a beta of the new upgraded Unity AI, which will enable developers to prompt full casual games into existence with natural language only, native to our platform - so it's simple to move from prototype to finished product.

There were lots of good stuff in this week's Convergence Showcase too, including another peek at Mouse: P.I. for Hire as we get to see one of the game's bosses for the first time. This first-person shooter with rubber-hose animation is set to arrive on March 19. There were other welcome announcements for me in this showcase. First, there was a release date for the Zelda-inspired adventure Gecko Gods.

We're in active dialogue with partners who share our long-term ambition for the IP and look forward to sharing more later this year.
