Google AI Studio: Bringing Ideas To Life With Android App Support, Workspace Integrations, And Mobile Development Tools

At the Google I/O 2026 event, Google announced an expansion of its AI Studio, introducing new features for developers. Key updates include support for native Android app development, deeper integrations with Google Workspace, a mobile app for AI Studio, enhanced design customization tools, and free deployment options for new users. Developers can now create applications that utilize Google Workspace services, such as Google Sheets and Google Drive, directly within AI Studio. The platform supports direct export to Google Antigravity, allowing for streamlined local development workflows. The AI Studio Build agent can generate custom visual assets, and a new in-preview editing tool enables real-time modifications. Native Android app development is supported with production-quality Kotlin code generation, in-browser emulator support, and one-click publishing to Google Play. First-time builders can deploy their first two applications to Google Cloud for free without a credit card.

I was worried EverQuest Legends making me too OP would ruin the magic of the classic MMO, but crushing hordes of frogloks is incredibly satisfying

EverQuest Legends allows players to equip characters with three distinct classes. Players can enhance duplicate items through an item merging system, increasing their power and stats. The game features a difficulty adjustment for zones, which strengthens monsters and improves item drops. Players can swap loadouts in towns, with character levels defaulting to the lowest equipped class while retaining alternate advancement points and gear. The item merge system enables customization by allowing players to extract abilities from one item to another. The game is designed to be accessible for new players while still appealing to veterans, with classic zones and modern quality-of-life features. The beta phase is ongoing, with major systems like raid instancing being developed. The official launch is scheduled for July.

Path of Exile 2’s new boss-taming summoner class breaks ARPG minions like never before

The Path of Exile 2 Return of the Ancients update is set to launch on May 29, introducing significant changes, including a redesign of the endgame and a crafting overhaul. Two new Ascendancies will be added: the Martial Artist Monk and the Spirit Walker Huntress. The Spirit Walker Ascendancy allows players to control powerful beast bosses and features three branches: Vivid, Primal, and Wild. The Vivid Path summons stag spirits, the Primal Path enhances projectile skills, and the Wild Path provides a spirit bear companion that boosts minion damage and life. The Idolatry path expands minion build options. The Natural Order feature allows the Tame Beast skill to work on unique beasts, starting with early-game adversaries and escalating to tougher foes. Game director Mark Roberts showcased a "zookeeper build" that utilizes the unique scepter Sylvan's Effigy, which removes companion limits. Companion damage has been buffed, and new features include a raven flock and a cluster grenade launcher called Redemption.
