The Christmas season has arrived. This is the perfect time to sit in front of the PC or screen with a cup of tea and leisurely catch up on all the games that one couldn’t get to due to the hustle and bustle of the year. Well, at least that applies to those who are not rushing from one family celebration to the next – but for some, that’s also a pleasure.
MeinMMO veterans already know it – from Christmas to New Year’s, things are a bit quieter on our site. Most editors take a few days off, indulge in a load of Speculoos, catch up on 4 Seasons of anime, or finally play that one game that everyone in the editorial team has been raving about for months.
Holiday Program at MeinMMO – Lots of Heart, Lots of Personality
However, as in previous years, this does not mean that MeinMMO has nothing to offer in the coming days – quite the opposite. The most important news will still be reported for you, so you are always perfectly informed.
In addition, we have prepared a wide range of articles that would otherwise have slipped through the cracks over the year. Among them are:
- Experience reports from various nerd hobbies
- personal recommendations for games and series
- some columns with quirky incidents
Most of these are articles filled with a lot of passion. So please let us know what you think of these topics and whether this is a holiday tradition you enjoy.
Gaming 2025 – a Year We Will Miss
From a gaming perspective, 2025 was a great year that most of us will probably reflect on for a long time. We had some really big game hits, such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which hardly anyone had on their radar and then took the world by storm. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, Split Fiction, Donkey Kong Bananza, or the recently released Where Winds Meet – 2025 was packed with gaming highlights. Even WoW fans had a 20-year-old dream fulfilled, as they finally got player housing.
From a gaming viewpoint, 2025 was a hit – even if the next year should be weak (which it currently doesn’t seem to be!), most of us are likely to have a big “backlog” of great games to play over the holidays.
2025 Was the Saddest Year for MeinMMO
We want to make no secret of the fact that 2025 was the saddest year for us as the editorial team of MeinMMO since its founding. Our longtime editor-in-chief Gerd Schuhmann passed away in the spring, leaving a gap that probably can never be completely filled. Schuhmann was not only the first among us to be a part of MeinMMO, he was a friend and mentor to many, always advocating for his colleagues and striving to bring out the best in each of them.
We miss Schuhmann, think of him often, and regularly ask ourselves in decisions: What would Schuhmann have done? He shaped the site for many years, and that influence will be felt for a long time.
Merry Christmas and a Happy 2026
But we also look positively to the future. Both MeinMMO will continue to evolve and gaming in general. The influence of indie games was particularly prominent this year, and the big successes are likely the beginning of a trend that will be carried on in 2026.
No matter how you spend the holidays – whether at a different family gathering every evening or comfortably in front of the screen with a few friends on Discord gaming: Enjoy the days and fill them with people and things that make you happy. Be kind to the people you spend these days with and let them know what they mean to you – whether good friends or family.
We at MeinMMO are looking forward to the year 2026. To all the gaming highlights that are coming our way, to all your comments on our articles (okay, to the most of them!), and to the fact that we will continue to share a lot of joy in our beloved hobbies together.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, a good start into the new year, and may the future fulfill all the wishes that are truly important to you.
– The MeinMMO Editorial Team
