Reliance Games ties up with Pacific Rim to launch mobile game
MUMBAI: Reliance Games has tied up Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Pictures‘ Pacific Rim to release a game based on the screenplay of the movie for iOS and Android platforms.
Developed in partnership with Behavior Interactive and based on the film by Guillermo Del Toro, the Pacific Rim mobile game features epic battles amidst skyscrapers as players swipe and tap to defeat the Kaijus, aliens that have risen from the sea to wipe out humanity.
Piloting weaponised robots known as Jaegers, Earth‘s defenders must train their jockeys from rookie to ace in a story mode based on the movie, or challenge themselves to last as long as they can against waves of aliens in survival mode. To aid in the apocalyptic fight to save humanity, new weapons, technology and devastating combos can be unlocked, as well as different Jaegers.
“It‘s been a great opportunity to work with Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures to bring the excitement and edge-of-your-seat action of Pacific Rim onto mobile devices,” stated Reliance Entertainment-Digital CEO Manish Agarwal. “We are excited to provide an enhanced and immersive experience to moviegoers with a state-of-the-art 3D mobile game.”
“We wanted to bring the summer blockbuster experience of Pacific Rim into the palm of your hands,” said Legendary Theatrical Marketing EVP Joel Chiodi. “The exciting and extreme fighting sequences in the mobile game compliment and extend the movie‘s spectacular action and story, helping to create a more complete movie-going experience.”

With 57 per cent single new users, Ashley Madison rebrands as discreet dating platform
Platform says majority of new members now identify as single
INDIA: Ashley Madison is shedding the “married-dating” label that defined it for two decades, repositioning itself as a platform for discreet dating in what it calls the post-social media age.
The rebrand, unveiled in India on 27 February, 2026, marks a structural shift in business model and identity. Once synonymous with married dating, the company now describes itself as the “premier destination for discreet dating” under a new tagline: Where Desire Meets Discretion.
The pivot is data-driven. Internal figures show that 57 per cent of global sign-ups between 1 January and 31 December, 2025 identified as single: a notable departure from the platform’s married core. The company argues that its community has already evolved beyond its original positioning.
“In an age where our lives have been constantly put on public display, privacy has become the new luxury,” said Ashley Madison chief strategy officer Paul Keable. He framed the platform’s offering as “ethical discretion” for singles, separated, divorced and non-monogamous users seeking private connections.
The shift also taps into wider digital fatigue. A global survey conducted by YouGov for Ashley Madison, covering 13,071 adults across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US, found mounting discomfort with hyper-public online lives.
Among dating app users, 30 per cent cited constant swiping and messaging as a source of fatigue, while 24 per cent pointed to pressure to curate public-facing profiles and early personal disclosure. Some 27 per cent said fears of screenshots or information being shared contributed to exhaustion; an equal share cited unwanted attention.
The retreat from oversharing appears broader. According to the survey, 46 per cent of adults actively try to keep most aspects of their life private online. Only 8 per cent feel comfortable sharing most aspects publicly, while 35 per cent say they are becoming more selective about what they disclose.
Ashley Madison is betting that this cultural recalibration towards controlled visibility can be monetised. By doubling down on privacy infrastructure and reframing itself around discretion rather than infidelity, the company is attempting to convert reputational baggage into a premium proposition.
