Crunchyroll: Gato Roboto lets you fight aliens as a mech-piloting cat as it launches on mobile.

Crunchyroll: Gato Roboto lets you fight aliens as a mech-piloting cat as it launches on mobile. A retro cat adventure packed with mech combat and platforming. Parash Jyoti Kalita September 25, 2026 Last Updated: September 25, 2026 0 2 minutes read Story Highlights * Play as Kiki and switch between a powerful mech suit and nimble feline exploration in Gato Roboto. * Explore an interconnected alien world filled with upgrades, bosses, secrets, and retro charm. Crunchyroll, LLC has announced the launch of the beloved fast-paced, retro Meow-troidvania action-adventure title, Crunchyroll: Gato Roboto, now available on both Android and iOS. Developed by doinksoft, the indie game originally launched on PC in 2019 and has earned very positive reviews over the years. It is now live on mobile through Game Vault. Explore a dangerous alien world as Kiki. Crunchyroll: Gato Roboto follows Kiki, a brave cat who suddenly finds herself responsible for saving Captain Gary after his spaceship crash-lands on a strange alien planet. With Gary trapped inside the wreckage and the rest of the crew unable to help, you have to explore an abandoned outpost, reactivate its defense systems, and deal with the mechanical creatures hiding throughout the facility. Kiki has two very different ways to explore the world. Her heavily armed mech can tank damage, fire powerful weapons, destroy obstacles with missiles, and even perform double jumps. When you leave your suit, however, you become much more agile and can squeeze through tight pipes, swim through waterways, and climb walls. But it's game over if you get even a single hit. Fight enemies, find upgrades, and uncover secrets. The alien world is split into interconnected areas, ranging from a high-tech laboratory to a dangerous heater core. As you explore, you can discover health upgrades and new abilities such as the dash, opening up previously inaccessible areas. In combat, you'll have to face hostile alien creatures, tracking projectiles, and challenging bosses. arrow_forward_ios Powered by GliaStudios Outside the main mech, you can also control a submarine and fixed turrets to deal with enemies in different ways. Hidden cassette tapes are scattered around the map too, allowing you to unlock new color palettes and change up the game's distinctive black-and-white presentation. Overall, the game looks super fun with tight platforming, combat, playful conversations, a dedicated button just for meowing, and more. Crunchyroll: Gato Roboto is now available on both Android and iOS. So, you can download the game via the Google Play Store or App Store. You'll need Crunchyroll Mega and Ultimate Fan Memberships to play. For more Mobile Gaming news and updates, join its WhatsApp group, Telegram Group, or Discord server.

Meta unveils new VR glasses with built-in AI, calls it the "most advanced device yet"

Meta unveils new VR glasses with built-in AI, calls it the "most advanced device yet" Business Thursday 24/September/2026 08:30 AM New Delhi: Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta has unveiled "Meta VR Glasses," which it describes as its "most advanced device yet," combining built-in Meta AI with virtual reality capabilities in a pair of glasses weighing roughly the same as a deck of cards, the company said in a statement. Meta's latest VR glasses can be operated through voice commands, eye movements and hand gestures, allowing users to play movies, open applications, adjust their workspace and conduct searches without the need for controllers. ADVERTISING "We've integrated your Meta AI agent directly into the operating system," the company said. The latest VR glasses are five times lighter than the Meta Quest 3, largely due to a two-part design. While the glasses house the sensors and display, a separate puck connected through an optical tether handles computing, battery and storage functions and can be clipped to a pocket or bag. The device features Meta's 5K Infinite Display based on micro-OLED panels, offering 37 pixels per degree to improve visual clarity and text legibility. It also uses ultra-compact pancake lenses designed specifically for the device. "It's also a next-generation computing platform, giving you a multi-screen private workspace, turning any flat surface into a keyboard and touchpad, and allowing you to get work done from wherever you are, without needing extra hardware," the company said in a release. The glasses support Dolby Vision for enhanced colour, contrast and visual detail, while Dolby Atmos spatial audio is integrated directly into the frames, according to the company. "Meta VR Glasses are the first ever IMAX Enhanced certified VR device and will be one of the only ways to experience select films in IMAX's exclusive expanded aspect ratio at home," Meta said, adding that users will also be able to watch "VR Enhanced versions of iconic films like Avengers: Infinity War and Star Wars: A New Hope in the new Disney Immersive Cinema by ILM app." According to the release, Meta is working with streaming and entertainment platforms including Prime Video, YouTube, DIRECTV, AMC+, Crunchyroll, Plex, ESPN and Tubi to expand the media offerings available on its VR glasses. Peacock, HBO Max and Paramount+ will also make their 3D content catalogues available on the device for the first time. Also, the company's content library will continue to expand, with thousands of titles expected to be available internationally when Meta VR Glasses launch, including 3D titles from Lionsgate. "We're also partnering with director James Cameron and Lightstorm Vision to debut "first time in 3D" blockbusters in 2027," it added. The company is also introducing hologram technology that will create a photorealistic digital representation of users, capturing their expressions and reactions in real time to enable hands-free video calls on Meta VR Glasses.

Your Office, Wherever You Are Meta VR Glasses give you a massive screen - or several if you want - anywhere you are, creating a personalized, private place to work. Turn any flat surface into a keyboard and touchpad, so you can type out a reply without carrying extra hardware. And with full-color passthrough, you can still see your desk, mobile phone, and surroundings while you work.

Introducing Hologram Calling Lastly, LEDinside is introducing hologram technology to provide a photorealistic digital version of you, including your real-time expressions and reactions, for hands-free video calling on Meta VR Glasses. When you see someone's hologram in Meta VR Glasses, they appear in front of you with spatial audio placing their voice where they are, so it feels like you're in the same room. If others are joining the call from a mobile phone or computer, they see your hologram on their screen as well. It works with whichever calling app you're using, from WhatsApp to Zoom.
