När man besöker Gamescom inser man snabbt att det finns två sidor av den här mässan. Dels har vi de mer formella och strukturerade, avspärrade hallarna som är tillägnade utställare, medier och branschfolk. Sedan har vi det stora publika området, där hundratusentals fans trängs i Koelnmesses enorma korridorer för att besöka storslagna montrar som representerar deras favoritspel och de mest efterlängtade titlarna. Som representant för medierna tillbringar jag vanligtvis inte särskilt mycket tid på den publika delen av mässan, vilket är anledningen till att det kan kännas som att lämna en affärskonferens och kliva rakt in på ett nöjesfält när man först kommer in i den publika sektorn. Under Gamescom 2026 fanns det gott om enorma montrar i de här hallarna som var värda att uppmärksamma, men få lyckades väcka samma nyfikenhet som Eclipse Glow Games och deras Tides of Annihilation.
Den kinesiska utvecklaren hade tagit över en rejäl del av Hall 6 och erbjöd ett centralt område där dussintals pc-stationer stod redo för fans som ville prova en bit av det kommande actionäventyret. Besökarna strömmade till attraktionen i stora mängder och det gick till och med rykten om att fans behövde köa i timmar för att få sin chans.
Frankrike forbyr import av trofeer fra truede dyrearter
Mennesker med mye penger reiser fortsatt til Afrika for å jakte på truede dyr for trofeer, med mål om å ta med seg hoder, skinn eller lignende gjenstander hjem. Nå melder Humane World for Animals Europe at Frankrike har bestemt seg for å sette en stopper for dette.
Beslutningen har angivelig sterk støtte i befolkningen, hele 91 prosent, og mellom 2015 og 2024 importerte Frankrike 827 jakttrofeer fra pattedyr som er oppført på CITES-listen (Konvensjonen om internasjonal handel med utrydningstruede arter av vill fauna og flora), som leoparder, afrikanske elefanter og flodhester. Etter USA er Europa den største importøren av slike trofeer.
Frankrike hadde allerede et lignende forbud mot løver, som ble innført etter det som skjedde med løven Cecil i 2015, da han ble såret og ikke kunne avlives før lenge etterpå. Nå oppfordrer Humane World for Animals Europe EU til å innføre et lignende direktiv for alle medlemslandene.
Fin Tarling’s death casts shadow over Tour of Britain as safety fears loom large
Minute’s applause to take place in Lincoln on Wednesday
Spate of serious recent crashes have put safety on agenda
The death of the Welshman Fin Tarling continues to cast a long shadow over professional cycling and nowhere will that absence be felt more deeply than at the men’s Tour of Britain which begins on Wednesday.
Tarling’s former team NSN Cycling, which includes the Olympic medallist Ethan Vernon, also one of his closest friends, will be brought to the start line in Lincoln for the opening 187km stage, for what is expected to be a minute’s applause.

GTA 6 won't let you progress through the story if you're too broke, which will force Jason and Lucia to make some cash from side jobs or other definitely legal endeavors.
If there's one thing the trailers and gameplay footage of GTA 6 have told us, it's that there's going to be a lot of robbing in it. Nearly every single piece of footage has featured Jason and Lucia holding someone up at gunpoint, getting cash and living large. Safe to say, it'll be a major part of the upcoming open-world game.
GTA 6 open world robberies are insanely detailed and one of the most important activities in the game, including robbing banks in the open world. Here are the highlights- Making money outside of missions is an important part of the game, and is no longer completely separate… pic.twitter.com/Q40eSXitsTAugust 31, 2026
YouTuber TGG (via Twitter user Synthpotato) saw gameplay at Rockstar Games and went into detail about how the robbery system works. This includes word that every store in the game is able to be robbed, and that unlike the convenience store holdups found in GTA 5, there will be unique robberies depending on what type of store you are robbing, with factors like CCTV and hostages to be worried about. They also note that much of the robbery footage shown in the extended look was open-world footage rather than bespoke missions.
Perhaps more interestingly, they report that at some points in the game's story, you will be stopped from progressing until your bank account is full enough to access it, while there's no word for what reason you'll need the cash to even participate in the mission, you will not be able to keep the story going if you're broke.
But even with the lockout, it's pretty obvious there's going to be a ton of ways to make more money in GTA 6, with the robbery focus being an obvious way. However, we saw in the Netflix gameplay premiere that racing will be a major part of the game too, so if you feel a bit bad about robbing virtual stores all the time, you might be able to be a nicer person and just do illegal street races instead.
