Nelson described suppressive fire as intentionally missing and shooting near a target to intimidate or disorient it. He also gave a heist example: players may be able to enter a store without triggering the alarm and leave before anyone is alerted.

Fable is still on track for a February 23, 2027 launch, yet Microsoft's newly posted PC specs suggest Playground Games is aiming for broad compatibility. The minimum tier asks for hardware as old as a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RTX 2060, which is a modest bar for a game that is still more than a year away.

The story of the nighttime thefts at the show has gotten an unpleasant follow-up. Australian studio Ukiyo Studios said that two years ago it lost a computer the exact same way — carried off from its booth — and when the team tried to file a police report, a gamescom staff member stopped them from doing so. The reasoning given was direct: reports like that make the show and the city of Cologne look bad. The studio also added that it's glad for this year's affected colleagues, who at least have the chance to actually get the police involved.

At Gamescom 2026, producer Kazuhisa Wada said Persona 4 Revival is set to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on February 18, 2027, but one of the remake's most talked-about possibilities is still off the table: Yosuke's cut romance route.

Wada's explanation was blunt: if Atlus restored Yosuke's route, the studio would feel obliged to add romance arcs for all the other male party members too. As he put it, "We were thinking if we did Yosuke, we kinda have to add all the other male characters as well. And if we did that, like that's a lot of work. I don't know if we could handle that."
