Sky: Children of the Light lets you travel inside Vincent van Gogh's paintings and discover his lesser-known story
Sky: Children of the Light has always been all about meditative experiences, so to have the latest update immerse you in the world of Vincent van Gogh is not at all surprising. Dubbed "Dear Van Gogh", the new event takes you through the artist's iconic works via interactive elements, which means you can look forward to experiencing 3D recreations of his art across gorgeous painterly visuals. Now, there's no shortage of Van Gogh-inspired themes in all forms of media, but what I feel makes this particular event more meaningful is that it focuses on the loved ones around him who believed in him. It's not all about tragedy and suffering, after all - and I'd say this kind of positivity certainly fits well with Sky's vibes. ...

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile to close in China with the global launch cancelled
It's becoming something of a joke around our virtual office that Square Enix has two hobbies: making games and shutting them down. Following the announcement that Ever Crisis will close its doors later this year, Square has now revealed that Final Fantasy XIV Mobile in China will follow suit. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the global launch has also been scrapped. There'll be no heading to Eorzea on your phone, I'm afraid. Square released a statement on the game's official website, stating that “adjustments in business operations and changes in the market environment” were the reasons for the decision. I'm sure you can all read beyond the corporate fluff there to get to the meat of it. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/final-fantasy-xiv-mobile/china-shutdown-global-cancelled/)
Wuthering Waves: Elysium will soon let you enjoy the post-cataclysmic sci-fi world of WuWa in anime
As if Wuthering Waves isn't big enough already, Kuro Games has decided to grow the franchise even more with the launch of Kuro Onroad, the studio's new animation brand that actually feels like a logical next step in the action RPG's road to world domination. This comes in the form of Wuthering Waves: Elysium, a shiny new anime series that ramps up the immersion for fans of the IP. Details are a little hush-hush at the moment - all we really know is that it's happening and there's a lovely little teaser trailer for it. ...

Mogul Life lets you build a company, buy shares and outsmart rivals
Rent is up, wages are not keeping pace, and somewhere, a landlord is explaining why that is actually fine, actually. Mogul Life will not fix any of that, obviously, but for a few minutes a day, you get to be the one setting the salaries instead of receiving them. You can found a company, hire staff, set salaries and take it public through an IPO, climbing through six corporate ranks as you go. Prefer to stay off the org chart? Take a job at someone else's company instead and draw a wage, picking up bonuses for actually pulling your weight. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/mogul-life/ios-launch/)

Negotiator turns every text into a life-or-death decision
Somewhere, right now, someone is holding a phone and deciding whether to press send. Negotiator puts you on the other end of that line. You play Felix Fandor, a crisis negotiator, a job that sounds like it belongs in a film and somehow does not. The person texting you is not a criminal in the way you think. They followed the process, filed the forms, got nowhere, and eventually ran out of patience with a system that had already run out on them. Now they have your number, a grievance, and not much left to lose. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/negotiator/official-launch/)
