After a difficult start, Crimson Desert is becoming a hit. But not only are sales figures rising, the mood in the community has turned 180 degrees. Many players are celebrating one thing in particular.
What is this milestone? On X, the developers of Pearl Abyss celebrate that they have now sold over 4 million units of Crimson Desert. Since each version of the game has generated about 70 euros, you can currently estimate revenue to be around 280 million euros (minus shares for platform owners like Valve).
The increasing success of Crimson Desert is also reflected in the ratings. While user reviews on Steam started at a disastrous 57 percent at launch, they are now globally at 81 percent and even at 86 percent positive in German reviews.

Quick updates with the right improvements
What is behind the positive turnaround? On the one hand, the positive trend in reviews can certainly be explained by the fact that more and more players are accumulating playtime and thus becoming more aware of the strengths of Crimson Desert, which we also rave about in our experience report.
On the other hand, Pearl Abyss delivered timely updates after the launch that addressed many of the weaknesses that parts of the community had extensively discussed on Reddit and elsewhere. A few examples:
There is now a personal storage chest in the camp.
Cooking is no longer as uncomfortable as it was at release.
Theft is now more rewarding and no longer negatively impacts reputation.
Performance, controls, loading times, and balancing have been significantly improved.
There are more fast travel points in the world.
You no longer have to constantly mash a button to sprint.
How does the community evaluate this? Just take a look at this discussion on Reddit about the latest update. More than 12,000 thumbs up and over 1,650 comments show how well the current patch strategy from Pearl Abyss is received by many players.
Syarafuddyn celebrates, “They listen and deliver. The best dev team ever.”
Swimming-Ad-6842 is especially happy about one thing: “Gliding is so much better now.”
Schamolians101 also admits, “I’m not a big fan of certain aspects of this game, but they listen to us. The developers obviously care about their game.”
iang000 explains: “If they keep this up in the next 3 months, it will be a completely different game.”
Miniatures for Tabletop can be technically well-painted and still not achieve the effect that one hopes for as an artist. Even a miniature fan from the community is dissatisfied with his otherwise solidly painted soldier. Veterans explain where the problem lies and what simple trick can solve it.
What problem do many miniatures have? There are many miniatures that actually have a quite realistic look, yet their artists are still not satisfied. Something is missing, and it is not clear what it is.
Even the miniature fan kairas718 on Reddit has encountered this problem. His soldier was solidly painted and has strong effects like slight rust, yet he still finds it “boring.”
Here you can see the artist’s soldier:

“I wanted to achieve a realistic look based on tank models from World War II,” explains kairas718, “It looks realistic, but it seems a bit boring, and I want to make it livelier without it looking too unrealistic.”
The community understands what the miniature fan means. Especially veterans of the hobby recognize the problem: The figure lacks contrast despite the realistic approach.

“Your eyes will deceive you”
How can you train your eye for contrast? The short answer is: very difficult. The better one: You don’t have to.
The Reddit user Sparklehammer tells the artist of the soldier that you can’t always trust your eyes when painting:
The natural instinct of many artists whispers like a little devil on their shoulder that you should not overdo it with light and shadow. After all, the figures have little arms, which are perhaps a maximum of 3 millimeters thick. However, the miniature should not look like a tiny figurine in an oversized world but like a soldier, hero, or adventurer who could be around 2 meters or taller in their world.
You should have more courage for light and shadow in miniatures, giving the figure more contrast. When you reach a point where your own eye can no longer help, there is a trick that every artist, whether for miniatures or classical art, should learn.
What is this trick? Oftentimes, the intended realism and an illusion of contrast created by colors will obstruct recognizing the true light-dark contrast. What helps is simply removing the color.
This is demonstrated by the user Arazlam666 using the soldier compared to the greyscale of Master Chief from Halo:
Contrasts are much more pronounced in greyscale.
With the soldier, one can see in greyscale that most of the miniature is almost a similar gray tone, whether it’s the armor or the weapon. In contrast, Master Chief shows several shades of black and dark grays up to light gray and almost white highlights. This gives a figure more depth and makes it appear more realistic.
Even MeinMMO editor Caro grabbed one of her current miniatures as a test subject when discovering this tip to check the contrast herself:
Contrast is there but could have been pushed even more.
With this trick, you do not have to rely on your eyes or your knowledge of color theory and can already find out with a photo if your miniature has enough contrast. You also do not need an expensive image editing program for this. Most smartphones allow you to completely reduce the saturation of an image in the pre-installed camera or photo gallery.

Those who deal DPS in World of Warcraft find no group. A problem that keeps arising in the game’s dungeons.
It’s an old problem that keeps coming up. Those looking for a group in World of Warcraft can either be overwhelmed by requests or desperately try to get accepted somewhere. Everyone who is neither a healer nor a tank needs a lot of patience and may end their evening frustrated on many occasions.
Select a MMO video…
Multifaceted problems that make DPS difficult to place
What is the problem? “The problem” is actually a simplification, as there are several issues that reinforce each other.
On the one hand, there is traditionally an oversupply of DPS characters. Although a group requires 3 DPS characters and only one healer and one tank, there are usually many, many more DPS characters. This means that tanks and healers essentially have free choice and can pick exactly those they want from dozens of applicants.
Furthermore, there is the problem of the meta. When watching the pros tackling the hardest content, there are usually 5 to 6 classes that are considered particularly good. This view gradually seeps down to the rest of the community – even if it shouldn’t matter for lower-level content. This leads to mainly certain specializations being invited.
Lastly, healers and tanks like to invite other players who already have a high item level and are practically “overgeared” – which drastically simplifies the dungeon run.
All these effects lead to DPS characters often waiting a long time for a group and facing numerous rejections. While tanks and healers receive almost immediate invites, DPS characters have to wait for a long time.
This is how the community discusses: In the official forums, and also in the WoW subreddit, discussions keep piling up about how hard it is for characters with DPS specialization. A current post addresses the topic somewhat cynically, as the title reads: “Since I stopped playing tank and now I’m doing DPS, my journey through M+ is much more peaceful and relaxed.” Those who are surprised and click here read: “Because I’m not being taken at all.”

This is an experience that apparently many are having:
“Completing keystones as DPS is an impossible experience. I just play with guildmates and do solo content like hunting or depths when I can’t play with them.” – Foreign-Chipmunk-839
“Yes, it’s really tough as DPS. You apply for 20 groups and wait 15 to 30 minutes to find a good group for a dungeon. For classes with Bloodlust, it’s probably easier. I’m a Shadow with item level 260 and 2,200 rating, and I have problems getting invited to anything above +9.” – Far-Position8951
“From a healer’s perspective, it feels so strange to see a DPS having to wait 10 to 30 minutes to get into a group because they’re not tanking – only to then constantly tell the tank how to do their job. That makes no sense.” – Zeliek
How can one counteract this? The only reliable tip is to find a stable group. The best way to do this is through guilds or communities. You may have to spend a bit more time on social interaction and the search, but WoW is simply much more fun in the long run with friends – and even more so when you regularly run dungeons and don’t receive rejections for hours.

How do I redeem the codes? If you want to enter a valid code, you can do so through the menu in the game itself. Follow this path:
Settings → Other → Exchange Code
Why might my code not work? Most of the time, codes that show an error message have simply expired. However, certain codes may only be available for specific regions and therefore may not work in your country.
But make sure to double-check that you don’t have a typo in your code. It’s best to copy the code directly from this list and then paste it in the game to avoid errors in the string.
If you still want to enter it yourself, pay particular attention to whether an O is an O or perhaps rather a 0. The same goes for sequences in which 1 and I occur.

The following codes were once available but can no longer be redeemed:
Those who want to play hard shooters 18 and older should hurry. Because soon it will be over in Germany – unless you join the military.
Since 2026, Germany has partially reintroduced conscription and is trying to generate new recruits to train them as soldiers. It was suspected in advance that voluntary participation might not achieve enough men and women, and now we have certainty. Therefore, the federal government wants to pass a law that could also affect all gamers – drastically limiting which games can be played in Germany.

War games only for soldiers, with one exception
What is the idea? Video games that involve firearms and are rated “18+” or even “not suitable for minors” by the USK will no longer be available for sale, neither in stores nor on digital platforms like Steam, the Epic Games Store, or Battle.net.
Instead, these games must be stored separately and can only be handed over to individuals who meet one of the following criteria:
Currently serving in the military.
Previously served in the military.
Professional soldier.
Has reached the age of 67 by the cut-off date (01.05.2026).
Holds the BBSSL BDR (further below in the article)
Exceptions should be made for already existing, internationally active, professional players (“eSports athletes”). They are allowed to continue playing the game in which they pursue their careers as long as they participate in at least three international tournaments per year.
From the Federal Minister of Defense Pistolius, it is stated:
We have understood that military service needs to become more attractive for young men and women. Financial incentives have apparently not been sufficient, which is why we now want to create new privileges for all who are ready to defend our country in case of doubt.
Video games are popular among the younger generation, and at the same time we have been trying for years to combat the devastating socio-cultural consequences of these killing games. This solution creates a compromise that all government parties and even large parts of the opposition agreed upon.
This aims not only to recruit new soldiers but also to save costs. Because video games could, at least temporarily, become part of the training:
We have noted that for many new recruits we cannot procure sufficient equipment quickly enough. Therefore, we are basically hitting two birds with one stone. Many screen games have a high degree of realism and therefore can serve as accompanying support during basic training until appropriate barracks and military recruitment offices can be rebuilt.
What does this mean for game collections? According to the government spokesperson, there will be a transitional regulation until the end of 2026. From 01.05.2026, that is in one month, all platforms must restrict access to shooter category games for all persons living in Germany. The restriction will be lifted once proof of the above criteria has been provided. Otherwise, by 01.01.2027, the games will be removed from collections.
We expect to have a significant influx of volunteers starting May 1 and the federal government’s targets will be met beyond the capacities of the Bundeswehr as early as August.
Training with games like Counter-Strike for deployment – a dream for some.
Internships should allow gaming, attract more people to the military
The change in the law is accompanied by the fact that the Bundeswehr also wants to allow new participation opportunities. In addition to military service and the obligation as a professional soldier, there should be the possibility of a trial internship, where one can get a glimpse into the profession for 2 weeks.
However, due to the state of the federal budget, the internship will not be financially compensated, but one will receive a BBSSL BDR, the moving image game license of the Federal Republic of Germany. With this, one can also play shooters for 6 months (180 days) after completing the internship. The Bundeswehr stated:
The duration of two calendar weeks is perfect for completing the internship during school holidays or company holidays. We expect that interested individuals will complete the internship multiple times because their interest in the Bundeswehr will surely increase.
When asked whether young people would not use the offer simply to be able to play shooters again, it was replied:
That is completely absurd and contradicts all predictions. I believe we should trust our youth to take on a bit more personal responsibility. We are sure that we will primarily appeal to young individuals who genuinely aspire to a career with us. The temporary gaming license is merely a nice bonus and we cannot imagine that it would be the primary motivation behind applying for an internship position.
This is the response from the rest of politics: There is much support from the party “Die Linke”, but they feel these proposals do not go far enough. A spokesperson for the party stated that they “welcome the initiative to dare more digitalization in the training of recruits.” However, this could only be “the first step.”
For the future, they hope that not only the training will be digitalized, but also warfare in its entirety. The next step must be to “completely abolish physical weapons and only carry out military conflicts, if they cannot be avoided, digitally.” The great hope is that “Germany will be a pioneer and that all other countries will surely follow suit.” If this does not work out, then we can still see how to deal with the situation afterwards.
Only the AfD has criticized the proposal. Bernd Höcke stated that “it borders on treason when German soldiers are trained with foreign video games” and that “soft, unpatriotic and fundamentally un-German values” such as “compassion, sympathy, and tolerance” would be “indoctrinated” through these games. He instead recommends that the training be conducted with games that convey “core German values,” such as Escape from Tarkov.
Shooters like Escape from Tarkov would be perfect for training, at least one party thinks.
How does the USK handle this? Until now, the USK was responsible for checking the age rating of games in Germany. This will also change with the new law. In the future, the USK will be released from these tasks if it involves games that contain firearms in any form or depiction. In such cases, the classification will then be performed directly by the Ministry of Defense.
Critics fear that in the future all games with weapons will be classified as 18+, so that this measure will attract more young people and these games can only be played if one decides for military service.
The Ministry of Defense rejects these allegations and explains:
Only a very small part of the moving image games will fall under the direct evaluation of our ministry. According to initial estimates, this mainly affects small niche games that most citizens probably have never heard of, such as Counter-Strike or Grand Theft Auto VI. The vast majority of the digital gaming landscape remains unaffected by this.
What about conscientious objectors? Those who do not want to join the Bundeswehr or have been dismissed need not worry about their shooter collection, as this has also been taken into account by the federal government. If one opts for a substitute service (voluntary social year or new civil service), one can also apply for the release and acquisition of shooter games via a document from the federal government.
In such a case, game manufacturers must ensure that the affected individuals can only embody non-combatants, such as characters in logistics or medical service, who can only access firearms for self-defense. Furthermore, proof of possessing the relevant driver’s license classes must be provided; otherwise, vehicles can only be accessed as passengers.
The draft law has not yet been passed by the Bundestag, but the Chancellor considers the success of the vote tomorrow, April 2, 2026, to be “as certain as the Christian values in the Union” – and that surely means something.

New livestream from Zenimax, new information about Elder Scrolls Online in 2026. The focus was, of course, on the soon-to-start season 0. However, there was also a look at upcoming content that will land on the servers later. MeinMMO summarizes the most important points about the future of ESO.
What news do we have now? After the big presentation of Season 0 in January 2026, the most recent Twitch livestream from the developers of Elder Scrolls Online on March 31 went into more detail, not only regarding the contents of the new season but also beyond that.
The focus was on features such as the Night Market, the new solo dungeons, a comeback from Skyrim, and planned high-seas battles. Thanks to a Q&A session that took place beforehand, we were also able to ask the developers some questions. Their answers accompany our summary of the most important news from the stream. Let’s get started!
[toc]
What do I need to know about Season 0? Roadmap for April 2026
Season 0 starts on April 2 with an anniversary event that will run until April 15.
On April 13, Update 50 will land on the public test server.
From April 20 to April 27, the new Retribution campaign in Cyrodiil will take place.
From April 22 to June 17, two new campaigns of the Golden Initiatives will be active, focusing on the preparation for the Night Market and activities at the Night Market.
The Night Market opens from April 29 to June 17.
On June 2, ESO will come to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere.
From June 24 to July 8, expect the Zeal of Zenithar event.
Season 1 and Update 51 will follow in summer/fall, Season 2 and Update 52 are planned for fall/winter.
What is behind the Night Market?
The first event zone of ESO is expected to be open for seven weeks during Season 0, presenting particularly challenging encounters. Later in the year, the Night Market will reopen with a fresh twist. Depending on community feedback, a permanent availability is also possible.
The Night Market consists of 3 districts that are supposed to offer different activities – such as puzzles, roaming raid-level leaders, typical world bosses, quests, races, and more. Additionally, you can expect 3 NPC factions there. You must decide which of the factions you want to serve:
Behind Ruckus is a thug faction that relies on the law of the stronger.
The Shining Ambition aims to accumulate as much wealth as possible with its auctions and stalls.
The Thousand Eyes, which includes the small and insignificant but also one of the oldest factions in the Elder Scrolls universe.
Your choice of faction decides your rewards that you can earn in the event zone. Your actions and achievements will also contribute to the overall ranking of your faction: At the end of the event, special loot awaits based on your faction’s overall performance.
Through later comebacks of the event, players should have the opportunity to complete the content gradually for all 3 factions, thus receiving the respective faction rewards and experiencing the associated stories.
The Night Market awaits you with challenging boss encounters.
In each of the 3 districts, you will find a corresponding relic that you can unlock for your character. This will open up additional areas of the zone that were previously inaccessible. The rewards of the event include temporary buffs, cosmetics, and a new home named Night Camp.
The multi-story housing reward already awaits you when you have completed the beginner-friendly introduction quest from the Night Market. It offers a secured treasury for your riches. However, for the rewards of the most challenging content of the event, you should find a group, as the difficulty in the zone is expected to be high.
What to expect in 2026 in Elder Scrolls Online, you will also find out in the following video. Also, feel free to visit our MeinMMO channel on YouTube – there we delve deep into the genre of MMORPGs.

Speaking of difficulty: The challenge difficulty for the open world of ESO was announced by the developers at the beginning of the year, and now there are further details about it. This new mode is intended to be an option for players who want to adjust their gameplay experience while questing or in dungeons and open dungeons.
Instanced content such as trials, the Endless Archive, dungeons, or the Night Market cannot be changed through the challenge difficulty option. But what does the option do exactly?
You can choose from 4 different difficulty levels, influencing how much damage you take or deal. Depending on your choice, you will receive a bonus for experience gained and gold earned.
With your collected feedback in mind, the developers want to further adjust and expand this mode in the future. New monster abilities, achievements, or additional rewards are on the ideas list. The option is not intended to affect interaction in the world – the choice is character-specific.

Comprehensive Expansion of the Thieves Guild
With the seasons, ESO is expected to receive regular new content where stories and characters, as well as your choices, will play an important role, and where exploring atmospheric regions is important. They plan to combine this with familiar content that will receive a new twist.
An example of this is the Thieves Guild, whose story will continue in the modernized Glenumbra (you can probably jump right in without having to finish the old story). In sneaking, players will have more opportunities to hide or eliminate enemies stealthily (keyword: sleep powder). As a reward, a mythical item that can be enhanced over time awaits you.
Never played the Thieves Guild DLC? No problem! Recently, the long-time paid content around the Thieves Guild has become part of the main game of ESO. The DLCs “Orsinium”, “Imperial City” and “Dark Brotherhood” are now also part of the package. More on this here: MMORPG to Elder Scrolls upgrades its versions, you get a lot more game for your money
With the Vault of Scholars, the developers presented another new feature for Season 1, which is connected to the new Thieves Guild content. There, the scholar Voernet keeps his most valuable possessions.
Your task: Earn so-called nowhere keys through activities and other sources and master the randomly combined rooms of the 3 wings of the vault. It’s not about your damage output, but about overcoming traps and solving puzzles. A checkpoint system is supposed to prevent frustration.
You can also approach the content as a group and combine your collected keys to tackle more rooms in the vault at once. But solo runs are also possible if you prefer to face the challenges and skill tests alone.
The region of Glenumbra will be modernized for the new Thieves Guild content.
New content for lore enthusiasts and story lovers
A comeback with Season 1 is Sheogorath, who is at the center of a new quest series. Sheo wants to live as a mortal for a while and consequently stumbles from one catastrophe to another in Tamriel. Apparently, a cheese festival plays an important role in this.
With the Favours, the developers are bringing a new variant of daily quests to Tamriel. They are connected to specific characters and guilds and provide you with activities all over the world. Each favour is supposed to tell a corresponding, ongoing story.
Whenever you fulfill a favour, you receive a letter that continues the story of the respective character or guild. At the end of a story arc, a special reward is waiting, which is also supposed to be closely tied to the character or guild. The developers want to bring back characters that you might have lost track of over the years (like Holgunn One-Eye).
In the future, the Favors will be accompanied by the new feature of Rumors. This involves optional scavenger hunts through Tamriel, aimed primarily at interested story fans: You stumble upon a rumor, follow it, find possible clues, and collect them in a journal.
There will be no quest indicators or other visual cues to assist you while browsing. You will need to figure out where you need to go and whom you should talk to in order to track down the story behind the rumor. The developers compare this gaming experience to the original Morrowind, as your wits are also required there.
High Seas Battles and Solo Dungeons
When it was announced at the beginning of the year that the ESO team would aim for more experimentation in the future, one project sounded particularly wild: High Seas Battles. In the new livestream, the developers explained for the first time what exactly lies behind this new feature.
You can expect an event-based content that will bring naval battle elements, explorations beneath the surface of the sea, and exciting encounters under a diving helmet. Examples mentioned by the team include ship battles, deep-sea fishing, and puzzles as well as engagements on the ocean floor. The content is intended to cater to soloists, groups, and pirates alike.
However, it is not meant that every Tamriel hero will get their own ship, set sail, live out their pirate career, and plunder the ships of other players or NPCs.
Behind the High Seas feature is an event that allows you to fight on ships and explore the depths of the seas.
Solo Dungeons are meant for lone wolves. These are revamped versions of previously released dungeons that you can explore either alone or with your NPC companions.
The following two Solo Dungeons will be available with the introduction of the content:
Moonhunter Keep
March of Sacrifice
The focus of the dungeons is on experiencing the respective content and its story at a leisurely pace and at your own speed. However, there is also an option to adjust the difficulty level of the Solo Dungeons upwards. Additional Solo Dungeons are expected to follow over time, but probably not before 2027.
The Return to Skyrim
The last season of 2026 brings Elder Scrolls fans back to Skyrim aka Tamriel. For the revamped version of the iconic region, the developers promise a very special gameplay experience, where the new dynamic events will play an important role.
Fans of Elder Scrolls V should be able to visit many iconic places from Tamriel again – similar to the ESO adaptations of Morrowind and Oblivion. However, there will also be enough new content to keep the experience fresh – after all, hundreds of years lie between the events of Elder Scrolls Online and Skyrim.
With the upcoming updates, there will again be improvements for comfort and quality of life, such as the reduction of bag slots.
What else do the developers reveal?
Below, we summarize some additional info nuggets that wouldn’t fill a section of their own:
With Season 0, there will be a further Cyrodiil test campaign, during which the developers want to try out various detail adjustments for area attacks or healing.
At the end of Season 0, there will be a new reward system for Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and the battlefields. By collecting alliance points and gained experience, you will rank up and receive titles, perks, styles, and more. Every 6 months, the rewards for PvP will rotate, ensuring there’s always something to earn.
Every class will receive a new mastery as a skill line, which will primarily apply when you are not accessing subclasses. The available passive skills there should strengthen the respective roles of the class.
The developers are planning to implement dynamically world events with Season 1. They can occur anywhere, scale with the number of participating players, and unfold in multiple stages. Sometimes you will have to save endangered animals or defend a farm that is being attacked. Or you might need to take out a dangerous vampire. With later seasons, the feature is set to expand.
The developers are currently working on a completely new zone, which will heavily focus on exploration and discoveries. When this will land on the servers is currently unclear.
At some point in 2026, a new 12-player trial called Crimson Steppe will go live. As promised at the beginning of the year, this (like all other new content) will land freely in the base game of ESO, which hasn’t happened with a trial in the last 12 years. A hard mode for the regular enemies of the raid is also new.
The work on crossplay and cross-progression is ongoing but will probably not be finished until next year. To ensure a satisfactory gaming experience for all players through both features, the developers need to address all areas of the MMORPG.
The developers are working on an official version of guild housing.
With upcoming updates, there will continue to be detail improvements aimed at enhancing aspects like comfort or quality of life in the game. For Update 50, for example, around 10 optimizations are planned, which will soon be presented in detail. One example: A Golden Initiative aimed at characters below level 20 to guide them more.
The Twitch streamer durpee82 made a bet with his viewers that he actually should have won. More specifically: The probability of his win was 99.69% high.
What kind of luck wheel is that? The Twitch streamer durpee82 is mainly known for playing a lot of Overwatch. In his recent streams, he kept spinning an online luck wheel as part of bets with his viewers.
For the bet with the viewer boonworst, the streamer labeled the online luck wheel with three different possibilities: He will be permanently banned from the Twitch channel, he gets access to the Twitch stream, or he will be flown by durpee82 to BlizzCon.
The twist: Instead of just having these three options, which would have meant a chance of about 33% for each scenario, durpee82 copied the option for the permaban several more times into the online luck wheel.
In fact, he did it so often that there were a total of 322 possible hits for the luck wheel, and the chance for boonworst to get the trip to BlizzCon from durpee82 was only 0.31%.

What happened then? The Twitch streamer durpee82 confidently spun the wheel, certain of winning the bet. But then the luck wheel actually landed on the option for the BlizzCon trip. Durpee82 jumped up and was completely beside himself.

Durpee82 really wants to keep his bet promise, as he already posted on X the confirmation that he can’t wait to meet the viewer. He also discussed the details directly with the viewer in the stream.
The BlizzCon will take place from September 12 to 13, 2026, in Anaheim, California. This is particularly convenient for the viewer boonworst, as he is already in California. So durpee82 probably doesn’t have to spend on an expensive plane ticket, but mainly has to cover the ticket costs.
Steven Spielberg and dinosaurs, can this combination go wrong? His renewed journey into the world of prehistoric creatures is currently conquering Netflix. Featuring: Morgan Freeman.
What has Steven Spielberg produced now? From the creative mind behind classics like “Jurassic Park”, “Indiana Jones”, “Schindler’s List” or “Saving Private Ryan”, a new mini-series titled “The Dinosaurs” has now premiered on Netflix.
The 4 episodes range from 44 to 48 minutes in length and cover the history of dinosaurs from their rise to their extinction. Always accompanied by: Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) as the narrator.

A documentary that sparks interest
How successful is the series? Having just launched on March 6, 2026, the series on Netflix is already said to have reached 23.4 million views. This is reported by whats-on-netflix.com, via sensacine.com. Among the top series in Germany, it even ranks within the currently most popular 10 series.
This is quite remarkable, as “The Dinosaurs” is a fictional documentary. Other genres like thrillers, adventures, romances or crime dramas usually dominate Netflix.
“The Dinosaurs” is, by the way, a sort of quasi-sequel to another documentary series by Steven Spielberg, which also featured Morgan Freeman as the narrator. We are talking about “Life on Our Planet”, which consists of 8 episodes and premiered in 2023.
Our MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz is a huge fan of the universe of The Lord of the Rings and the Kingdom Come RPG series. Soon, both could come together.
In a very strong RPG year 2025, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was not only the RPG that I enjoyed the most, but it was also my game of the year. The developers at Warhorse Studios have a fantastic knack for creating a realistically appearing, grounded, and immersive game world in which I can wonderfully lose myself for 100+ hours.
What I also liked about the second part were the clear advancements compared to the already good but somewhat rough predecessor. Sure, there are still quirky edges and corners in Heinrich’s second adventure. But those are what give the charm to the RPG for me. Nevertheless, Part 2 was significantly more polished than the first Kingdom Come.
Who is writing here? Karsten Scholz is actually the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. Since the good old SNES days, he has also felt at home in the genre of single-player RPGs. He has played through both Kingdom Come parts with great enthusiasm. Currently, he has been exploring the world of Crimson Desert for 100+ hours.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a great RPG, definitely play it!

A rumor that excites
So I am very curious about what kind of project the Warhorse Studios will be working on in the coming years. A current insider report now indicates that the Czech developers have secured the license for The Lord of the Rings.
Some months ago, Insider Gaming reported that the United Arab Emirates were investing 100 million dollars into a new open-world game in the ‘The Lord of the Rings’ universe, on which one of the studios of the Embracer Group (which holds the rights to LotR games) is working under the codename ‘Revenge Studios’.
A few days ago, there was a podcast in which the Polish industry veteran Ryszard Chojnowski revealed that he had heard from credible sources that the studio is indeed Warhorse Studios – the creators of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, who also belong to Embracer. Apparently, he had heard this several months ago and initially did not believe it, but recently the rumors have been increasing.
Who is Ryszard Chojnowski? Chojnowski is a Polish expert in game localization. He was the project manager for The Witcher, but he has also worked on translations for games like Diablo 2, Baldur’s Gate, BioShock, and Fortnite.
The industry veteran has been involved with various reputable publishers and studios, is thus extremely well-connected, and certainly wouldn’t want to damage his status and reputation by spreading unfounded rumors.
Furthermore, there have not only been the rumors mentioned in the quote about a new Lord of the Rings project, but also hints that at Warhorse, a game aside from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3 (CryEngine) is supposed to be developed, which is likely based on Unreal Engine (via Reddit).
For me, it is already clear: The Lord of the Rings and Warhorse would fit together perfectly. Just imagine a version of Middle-earth, with all the design strengths present in the open world of Kingdom Come:
A credible, atmospheric world with day-night cycles, NPCs with realistically appearing daily routines that respond in understandable ways to the actions of the main character, entertaining main and side quests, a homeopathic dose of survival …
Ideally, there would then also be a noticeable advance compared to Kingdom Come 2, through the additional experiences the team has gained in recent years. The result would be an extremely exciting open-world project for a universe that has received far too few good games in recent years. In short: I CAN’T WAIT!
One of the actors from Baldur’s Gate 3 reports a burnout he experienced while working on the game.And this despite his great passion for the project.
What was Neil Newbon’s role in Baldur’s Gate 3? Although many know Neil Newbon primarily as the voice and actor for the character Astarion in the game, he had other responsibilities during the development.
For example, Neil Newbon did motion capture not only for Astarion but also for numerous other characters in the role-playing game. Additionally, he took on directing duties and served as a general advisor for the project.
Overall, Neil Newbon worked on the game for 4.5 years. However, that time clearly took a toll on him.

Burnout despite passion
How did it affect his health? While Neil Newbon loved working on Baldur’s Gate 3 – he considers Baldur’s Gate 3 one of his best projects – this did not protect him from a burnout caused by the overwhelming amount of work. In an interview with FRVR, the actor discussed this time when he was completely burned out at times.
The actor reports having one or two physical burnouts that were quite severe. He states it is difficult to take a necessary distance from work when one has so much passion for it. He also mentions it is a challenge not to lose oneself in the daily grind.
It’s hard not to love it, but sometimes you have to take a break from it, especially because you love it. It’s silly.
Therefore, his advice is to be more mindful of oneself, take breaks, and focus on one’s closest social contacts. He believes one does not have to constantly do things for others.
Neil Newbon also praised the developer studio Larian and the production company PitStop Productions. According to him, they handled the situation well and supported him during this difficult time.
The developers of Marathon have released a new update. You can find the patch notes for 1.0.5.2 here with us on MeinMMO.
What does the new patch bring? Update 1.0.5.2 for Marathon has gone live just a few hours ago and focuses mainly on bug fixes and balancing adjustments. The developers fix a bug that allowed players to maintain their momentum through the slice-cancel animation.
The developers explain that the new hotfix restricts player mobility, but justify this step as follows:
Developer comment: One of our core philosophies for Marathon is that fast repositioning and aggression must always come at a significant cost. This cost can be a skill cooldown, heat generation, or increased risk – but it must exist and be understandable to an observer. Unlimited mobility is expressive and creates great video clips, but ultimately it is unhealthy for the game pace we want to maintain for Marathon. To clarify expectations early: We will look at future movement exploits through the same lens.
Marathon will learn from the mistakes of ARC Raiders and take a tough stance against cheaters

With the new “Flashpoint” update, a new project has also arrived in ARC Raiders . What you need to know about the high-performance antenna and how to complete it can be found here.
What is the high-performance antenna? The high-performance antenna is a new project where you need to collect specific materials – similar to the Weather Monitoring System and the Trophy Collection. On the map, the activities of the ARC are becoming increasingly destructive; Celeste and Shani want to get a better overview. Therefore, they want to build a high-performance antenna for which you gather resources. For your efforts, there are various rewards.
Info: We are currently working on the project ourselves and will complete all stages as soon as we can see them.
What you need to specifically collect for the high-performance antenna and what rewards await you upon completion can be found here.

How to complete the “High-Performance Antenna” project
The project is divided into a total of three stages. In each step, you must deliver different materials, for which you will be rewarded for each completed stage. If you want to farm specific items, you can track them using the pin function. However, keep in mind that submitted materials are reserved for the project and cannot be reclaimed.
The further you progress in the project, the better the rewards become, but it also becomes more challenging to gather the resources.
The following steps must be followed to successfully complete the project:
With the “Flashpoint” update, not only did a new project come to ARC Raiders, but also another ARC and two new weapons. For many players, however, the change of a display is the highlight. Because this reduces the time spent switching between crafting, inventory, and visiting vendors.

Surprise! Mimigma appears in Pokémon GO. This confirms a theory of many trainers, and some have already caught it.
Mimigma appears in Pokémon GO: Mimigma has suddenly appeared in the wild – at least in New Zealand. Trainers report this on social media. On Reddit, for example, a player describes that it can be caught shortly after midnight on April 1st. Others report that they have seen it at least in their vicinity.
When will it appear here? In New Zealand, events in Pokémon GO always start earlier. It is to be expected that Mimigma will also be catchable here from 00:00. If nothing changes before the release, it should also be possible to catch it in the wild by then.
What kind of Pokémon is Mimigma? Mimigma is a Ghost-Fairy Pokémon, known as the Disguise Pokémon.
It is a ghost whose true appearance nobody really knows, as it hides under rags and tries to look like a Pikachu. According to legend, one could die of fright if one sees Mimigma unmasked. Therefore, it is very lonely and tries to approach other people and Pokémon disguised as Pikachu.
And exactly this piece of lore has also fueled a theory from trainers that has now almost entirely been confirmed.

Important to know: Mimigma is a Pokémon with many fans and has been expected in the game for years. A possible release has been thematized repeatedly. Recently as well.
Currently, the Electric Event A shockingly good time is taking place, which highlights various Electric Pokémon. This also includes several spotlight hours – and on April 1st, it should be Pikachu.
Trainers sensed a surprise, as Pokémon GO is known for its April Fools’ pranks, and a Pikachu spotlight hour would be rather disappointing. They wondered: Maybe there will instead be a spotlight hour with the Pokémon that disguises itself as Pikachu.
Now it seems Mimigma is simply appearing from the beginning of the day. How exactly the spotlight hour will unfold remains to be seen – but trainers can at least see their Mimigma theory confirmed in its fundamentals. In the comments, there is a lot of joy at the surprising release.
With Mimigma, April starts off pleasantly surprising. In the coming weeks, there will be several more events – but it is already largely known what will happen there. As usual, you can find the complete overview with us: Here are all events in Pokémon GO in April 2026.

In Crimson Desert, there are quite a few annoying enemies. However, flying believers can be defeated more easily than you think.
Which enemies are we talking about? In Crimson Desert, you must purify some of the Sancta for the witch faction. This is done easily by defeating the cultists and then reassembling the supernatural machines.
But defeating the enemies can get annoying. The cultists have some flying enemies that attack from the air and are difficult to catch. Many players resort to using a bow to shoot the enemies down one by one.
This works only partially well, as the enemies quickly get back up and often land behind obstacles, meaning some of them need to be brought back down to reality a second time before you can finish them off. However, there is a much simpler trick.
Have you already gotten the OP horse “Rokade”?

Shadow beings hate light
What is this trick? These flying bubble creatures that can be quite annoying to Kliff from above belong to the shadow beings in the game. For example, in other areas, evil birds like harpies also fall into this category.
However, the shadow beings have a unique weakness that makes them easy to defeat. You can blind them all with the light of your own sword, which soon vanquishes them. They can only withstand a few seconds of light beams before they immediately disappear.
This mechanic, however, is explained much later in the game through other enemies, which means that many players may not even know about the mechanic.
You can see the mechanic in the video:

How exactly do you use the ability? To defeat the enemies, you need to press the key combination [CTRL] + [Left Mouse Button] and hold down the Left Mouse Button. Release the [CTRL] key as soon as the screen turns blue, and press and hold it again.
Now you have a kind of light beam with which you can blind enemies, burn brush, and vanquish the shadow beings. Shine the beam on the enemies, and they will disappear immediately.
Season 3 of Frieren already has a date and follows after the slightly shorter Season 2 – but with a time gap. All information about the upcoming season of the anime can be found on MeinMMO.
The last episode of Season 2 of Frieren aired on March 27, 2026. While Season 1 had 28 episodes, Season 2 only had 10 episodes. Therefore, fans are probably itching for the somewhat larger third season to follow. The first season aired from September 2023 to March 2024, and the second season from January to March 2026.
In Frieren, we accompany a very old elf sorceress who defeated the Demon King with her previous party. However, during the journey, she showed little interest in her human companions and deeply regrets not getting to know them better before their deaths.
Therefore, she sets out on a journey again, taking new companions with her to make up for her missed experiences. The ultimate goal is Aureole, a place in the End region where one can speak with the dead.
The special thing about Frieren is that all character and place names are in German, even in the Japanese original.

Season 3 is expected to have more episodes than Season 2. It can also be assumed that there will be a weekly release schedule again. If Season 3 follows the 28 episodes of Season 1, it could even be that Frieren Season 3 spans over 2 cours (seasons).

With the new Flashpoint update in ARC Raiders, the extraction shooter receives some new features, including two new weapons and another ARC enemy. However, the community is more excited about something else that they are particularly pleased about: Finally, crafting is set to become easier.
How does the update make crafting easier? With the Flashpoint update, amidst many other revisions and news, an improved crafting system is introduced. Embark Studios writes:
We know that assembling the perfect loadout takes time – especially when you’d rather be raiding. That’s why we’re introducing some practical improvements to the crafting system, allowing you to simplify your time in Speranza significantly.
This simplification now works in a menu window: Missing materials needed to craft weapons and items can be directly obtained through a new view. Additionally, materials can be recycled, refined, or purchased again in the same window if needed for crafting. This significantly reduces the time spent switching between crafting, inventory, and visiting merchants in Speranza.

ARC Raiders has an incredibly peaceful community – Even the developers are surprised
“I was happy about THIS”
What does the community say about this overhaul? The revision of the crafting system has caused excitement among many players on Reddit, but also relief. The joy over this feature shows how eagerly new content is anticipated, but the improvement of existing systems is even better received. So-called “Quality of Life” updates not only simplify cumbersome paths in games but also demonstrate that Embark is not only listening to player feedback but wants to implement it.
“New weapons? A new ARC? New map conditions? No. I was happy about THIS,” wrote Silenceisgrey regarding the revamped crafting system.
Also Signalis3 feels: “As a new player, I’m glad they are focusing on this. I find the user interface to be a complete chaos, and the parts of the game outside of the raids are extremely tedious. I didn’t expect them to still be making changes after so many months since the launch of the game, but I’m glad I was wrong about that.”
What else did the players wish for? Even though the simplified crafting and the rest of the update are well received, players still wished for one more small feature that would have perfectly rounded off this innovation.
The community on Reddit still wishes for the ability to not only create their loadouts faster but to be able to save them. Another QOL update that would save players a lot of time in Speranza to get back to raiding quicker.
“I really wish they had added a feature to save the loadouts, then it would have been ideal,” writes watermouse. A kind of template for a preferred loadout that would automatically be filled from the inventory, rather than having to do it manually.
While this may seem like a minor necessity, it can become so tedious that some players find it too annoying, as Light_Shrugger noted: “Last night I was finally at the point where I no longer wanted to rebuild my loadout again. Instead, I simply quit the game.”
The crafting in ARC Raiders is a major feature of the game, which is essential alongside the fight against enemy players and dangerous ARCs. This crafting and especially the looting to find enough materials reminds MeinMMO editor Caro of one of her favorite childhood games, which is why she fell in love with the extraction shooter: For 13 years, no game has given me a feeling like ARC Raiders, even though I play in the “most boring” way
