Rebellion announced today that the company is bringing back its third-person shooter Rogue Trooper. The new version, titled Rogue Trooper Redux, is planned for Switch.

“Rogue Trooper Redux delivers a beautiful remaster of one of gaming’s greatest comic book adaptations for the next generation!

Play as Rogue, the iconic, blue-skinned super solider from the 2000 AD comic of the same name, and avenge your fallen comrades across the chemical-blasted wastes of Nu-Earth! Experience tactical third person action and cover-based shooting that feels as fluid now as it ever did.”

During the 2017 Game Developers Conference today, Niantic announced that its hit mobile game Pokemon GO has exceeded 650 million downloads.

Niantic chief technology officer Phil Keslin mentioned that trainers have now walked roughly 8.7 billion kilometers (5.4 billion miles) while playing Pokemon GO. Keslin said that distance is “just shy of Pluto”, but it’s actually closer since Pluto is about 7.5 billion kilometers (4.67 billion miles) away even at its farthest distance from Earth.

Keslin added that Niantic intends to keep Pokemon GO fresh with regular content updates.
