Cyberpunk 2077 is the first new game from CD Projekt Red after their AAA hit Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Even in the base game Cyberpunk 2077, there are a few Easter eggs related to Geralt to discover. In Phantom Liberty, the developers also hid one – have you already found it? If not, here’s how to find it.
Attention Spoiler: The following may contain spoilers about the first four quests of the Phantom Liberty expansion. You have been warned.
What Easter egg is it about? If you visit the restaurant “Captain Calliente” during the fourth main quest of Phantom Liberty, you will find an archaic coin phone from times long before digitization. For the story, you must call the number mentioned by President Myers and meet with a sleeper.
After your successful call, the phone continues to work and you can enter codes at will. If you call one of the numbers on the wall around the phone, the receiver plays a song from the soundtrack of “Witcher 3 Wild Hunt”.
You can find Calliente where the green arrow is marked. The fast travel point to Luxor High Wellness Spa is the closest.
How do you find the Easter egg? First, you must get to Captain Calliente. You will find it in Dog Town, the new DLC area. During the quest line “Lucretia my Reflection”, the main mission will send you past here.
Before you can start calling, you first need to restore power and open the door.
Once you’re inside, move the cabinet next to the kitchen door.
The phone will then be revealed.
Around the device, several Post-it notes with numbers are hanging. The ones for the Witcher Easter egg are on the right between the phone and the door frame.
Unlocking the new Easter egg for the Witcher – here’s how
In the video, we show you how to unlock the Easter egg:

Cyberpunk 2077: How to find the Witcher Easter Egg
Here’s the written walkthrough as soon as you’re standing in front of the phone:
remember one of the two numbers between the device and the door: 5745552377 or 9077555282
open the phone’s functions by aiming at the phone and holding down “F”
enter one of the two numbers
V will now pick up the receiver
after a moment, the Witcher soundtrack will play
With these two numbers, you can reach Geralt.
Have you already found the Easter egg? Have you already beaten the high score in “Plötzerennen”, a minigame about Geralt of Rivia’s horse, in the base game? We look forward to your comments!
At the end of the quest in which you unlock the coin phone, you can actually exclude yourself from the remaining main quests with just one wrong answer:
In EA Sports FC 24 the first Weekend League is postponed. When the Champions Finals in Ultimate Team will start now, you can find out here.
When does the first Weekend League start now? As EA Sports announced on Wednesday, September 27, the date of the first Weekend League in Ultimate Team has been postponed by one week.
Thus, the Weekend League, also known as UT Champions Finals, will now start on October 6, 2023.
We embed the corresponding tweet from EA here for you:

Originally, the Weekend League was supposed to start according to the menu in EA FC on release day
When was UT Champions supposed to start? Originally, the first UT Champions Finals were meant to start on Friday, September 29, 2023. However, that would also be the same day that the release of the standard edition of EA FC 24 is scheduled – and thus the actual official start date of the game.
This would, however, mean a significant advantage for players who could already utilize the Early Access to qualify for the Weekend League. At the same time, this would also mean an extremely competitive first Weekend League weekend, as probably only the best players would qualify for such early finals in such a short time.

How do players react? The reactions to the tweet, so far, are mixed. Some users emphasize that this is a good decision, but it would have been better to know the correct date from the start. Others, however, complain and are upset because they had invested extra time to qualify for the Weekend League.
What is the Weekend League? Players refer to the Champions Finals as the Weekend League, which takes place only on weekends. To reach these, one must first earn UT Champions points in the Division Rivals mode to then redeem them for qualification. There, one must win a specific number of matches to participate in the finals.
In the finals, however, there are the best rewards compared to the other modes, but the competition against the other players is also very tough.
Now that Palia has been in beta for some time and has already received new content, we are left wondering what we can look forward to in the future. Even though we do not have an official roadmap from Singularity 6 yet, there are a few things we can (probably) expect.
What has already been officially confirmed? Through the patch notes, the Discord, or dev updates, some things have been directly confirmed by the developers that we certainly don’t want to keep from you:
More options for character creation: beards, different skin colors, new hairstyles, and similar things.
Options to interact with decorations: turning water on/off, sitting on benches and chairs. These are major wishes from the players.
An obstacle course: for those who can’t get enough of climbing!
New areas where players can let loose. Some have even been mentioned in dialogues with NPCs.
Magical groves: So far, the purple trees have been a bit too rare, but that should change soon.
Signal arrows: Anyone who has had difficulty finding group members may enjoy the signal arrows. Just shoot them into the air, and others will see your position!
Controller support: Currently, controllers are only unofficially supported, but in the future, playing with a controller will be very comfortable.
Switch version: It is planned that Palia will come to the Nintendo Switch later this year, which fits perfectly for a cozy MMO.
However, there are also a few things that have not been officially announced but are speculated by the players. We have also summarized these for you.

Cozy-MMORPG Palia starts in open beta and has plenty of addictive potential
New story, new plants, and mystical creatures
What speculations are there? The contents mentioned here are not officially confirmed but are very likely. Either based on previous patches or the frequency with which characters mention certain themes.
Less of a speculation, because it will inevitably happen, but more story. With the already introduced fire temple and the associated quests, the story has progressed a bit. However, we can already say that definitely more is coming, as we can see in the temple that at least two more seals exist.
Some new recipes and plants have already been introduced into the game, but we can certainly look forward to content in these areas in the future. Especially when we are taken to new places that have their regional specialties. For example, Umbraa is said to be known for its crystals, and the bees that can currently be collected come from Akwinduu. Perhaps in the future, there will be a possibility to keep bees and produce honey?
The Maji market will probably not be the only market or festival. Delailah has mentioned a harvest festival, and the Maji market in Bahari City is said to be much bigger. It’s also conceivable that there will be festivals or markets during different seasons, such as a Christmas market.
So far, eggs, milk, and butter can only be bought from Zeki, but based on the fact that there are Ormuus (cows) on the Daiya farm and Peklis (chickens) are mentioned repeatedly, there may be a possibility to keep our own animals in the future. Furthermore, at least one character (Nai’o) has mentioned mounts. Given that it is already time-consuming to get from our house to Bahari Bay without fast travel, mounts would indeed be conceivable, especially if the map gets even larger in the future.
Magical/mythical creatures. Many characters, especially Elouise, repeatedly mention a beast from the Ancestor Forest. Furthermore, throughout the story, we learn that when humans disappeared, strange beings haunted the world. We probably won’t be able to fight them (because Palia is intended to be without a combat system), but it is certainly conceivable that there could be quests surrounding special creatures.
As you can see, it is definitely exciting in the world of Palia. If you want to make sure you don’t miss any news, you should consider joining the official Discord or following Palia on Twitter. Especially the Discord server is also very actively used by Singularity 6, and patch notes are shared directly there.
What do you think about the future of Palia? And how do you find the MMO in general? Feel free to write it in the comments.
At Activision Blizzard, some employees have been laid off again. This time, it seems mainly to have affected the Hearthstone team.
That there is quite a turnover of employees at Blizzard is now widely known. Especially after the major sexism scandal, there have been many changes. But even now, in the years that followed, there seems to be waves of layoffs happening repeatedly. This time, the Hearthstone team is losing some staff.
Who was laid off? Not all affected are known, but a few have been publicly mentioned through Linkedin. Hunter Curren was laid off, who last worked as a Tools Engineer in the Hearthstone team. He had been with Blizzard for over 18 years. Another layoff affected Joe Belousek, who was also part of the Hearthstone team for the last two years (via linkedin).
Why were they laid off? This is not quite clear. On LinkedIn, the affected employees say that their layoffs came more or less out of the blue and thus without prior notice. Curren writes that the Hearthstone team appears to be “undergoing restructuring” and that the previous roles likely have no place in it anymore.
One suspicion is that the layoffs are taking place because Hearthstone is not doing very well. This problem could have been exacerbated especially by the loss of the Chinese market at the end of last year. Hearthstone was particularly strong in the Asian region and likely generated the majority of its revenue there.
Layoffs in the shadow of Metzen’s return: The news of the layoffs comes almost simultaneously with the announcement from the World of Warcraft team that Chris Metzen has taken on a fixed role in the team again as Executive Creative Director.
Even though the reports are not necessarily related, it does give the situation an unpleasant aftertaste that, in the shadow of the glorious hiring of Chris Metzen, other employees have to leave. For some, it seems that Blizzard wants to hide the layoffs behind a “Hey, look, Chris Metzen is back!”.
It is currently unknown if developers from other teams are also affected by the layoffs.

If you are more active in Ultimate Team than in career mode, then we have put together a strong Bundesliga starter squad for you:
The German team GamerLegion has secured the services of a women’s team for esports in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). However, one of the players was no longer part of the team after just 2 days and was immediately fired. Shortly after the signing, accusations arose against the 20-year-old Irish player Chloe “KittyTM” Geaney, alleging she made racist remarks.
This was the announcement:
Gamer Legion announced on September 23 that they have taken over the roster of “Let her Cook”, a women’s team in CS:GO that was previously without an esports organization.
The team consisted of 3 women who had previously played for Astralis W, and 2 new players: The team was to compete under the name GL Prism.
From now on, the team was to compete for Gamer Legion in the “Impact League”.
Counter-Strike 2 heralds a new era – The most important changes in the video
This is how the women were presented: In a video on Twitter, the new signing was introduced coolly. It played with the idea that “GamerLegion” are like Roman legionnaires.
20-Year-Old Accused of Using the N-Word Multiple Times
What went wrong? Immediately after the signing, a user on Twitter came forward and said it was very disappointing to see that one of the new players, the Irish KittyTM, had gotten a spot.
There are several screenshots that allegedly prove that she is a person who openly expresses racist views and therefore should not be signed by any organization.
The Twitter user then posted a Discord chat with a person who, according to their statement, was Kitty_TM. In the chat, this person made racist remarks and was generally terrible.

A second Twitter user then sent another racist statement from the player to GamerLegion and asked if they were okay with having an openly racist person in their ranks (via twitter).
This was the reaction: GamerLegion fired the player on September 25, just 2 days after her hire, and strongly condemned discrimination of any kind. The immediate termination of Kitty_TM was deemed “inevitable” (via Twitter).
What it’s about: This is a case of “the internet doesn’t forget”. Anyone planning to earn money professionally as an esports athlete should behave somewhat decently from the beginning of their internet presence; otherwise, the past will catch up with them.
Even things that people said or did while they were still minors can abruptly end careers: nothing expires, and particularly in the case of racist or homophobic statements, there is no puppy protection.
In the case of the Irish player, it’s worth noting that “women in esports” are already a red flag for some esports athletes and Twitter users: they scrutinize this closely and look for misconduct.
Once such allegations are public, an esports organization has no choice but to respond with a dismissal, as the team is reliant on a good reputation for their advertising partners.
Update September 29, 5:08 PM: One day after the Irish professional player, another player has left the GamerLegion team:
The live-action series adaptation One Piece is getting a second season. If you want to shorten the waiting time, you can find a list of four series and movies here on MeinMMO.
When creating the list, we ensured that the series and movies are available on Netflix. However, please note that the offerings there can change from time to time.
Moreover, this is not a ranking, but rather recommendations from the editorial team. If you have more tips for fans of One Piece, feel free to share them in the comments.
Jim Button and the Wild 13
What kind of movie is this? Jim Button and the Wild 13 is a live-action adaptation of the children’s book of the same name by Michael Ende and is the sequel to the film Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver. The film follows Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver as they embark on an adventurous journey to find a lighthouse for the island of Lummerland.
A pirate gang also plays an important role in the story: “The Wild 13”. This is certainly one of the reasons why Jim Button and the Wild 13 is one of the first movies Netflix suggests when searching for “pirate movies”.
Who is the movie suitable for? The movie is suitable not only for fans of the books but also for anyone who enjoys a story that combines adventure, friendship, and magic.
Shadow and Bone
Start video
Trailer for the Netflix series ‘Shadow and Bone’ Season 1
What kind of series is this? Shadow and Bone is a U.S. fantasy series that has been running on Netflix since 2021. The acclaimed series is based on the Grishaverse series by Leigh Bardugo and currently contains 2 seasons.
The dark fantasy adventure takes place in a war-torn world, where the Shadow Fold, a dangerous wall of dark clouds, traverses the land and hosts deadly creatures. The Grisha are people with the special ability to control elements.
While the pirate aspect of One Piece is missing here, there is still plenty of adventure and a few ambitious thieves who are always on the lookout for the next big heist.
Who is the series suitable for? The series is ideal for those who are excited about the theme of “young adults saving the world”.
Eevee is among the favorite Pokémon of many players in Pokémon GO, which you can encounter more frequently now. We at MeinMMO show you what you should know about the evolution Pokémon and its evolutions, and which of them is particularly worth it.
Which monster is it about? The small Normal-type Pokémon Eevee has enchanted both big and small Pokémon fans since the first generation of games. Unlike most other monsters, it has 8 different evolutions, which not only differ visually and by their type but should also be used differently in Pokémon GO.
We will show you below which evolutions Eevee has, how to obtain them, and which of the monsters is particularly worth it.
All evolutions of Eevee and how to get them
These are its evolutions: Eevee has 8 different evolutions, each with a different type:
Aquana (Water type)
Blitza (Electric type)
Flamara (Fire type)
Psiana (Psychic type)
Nachtara (Dark type)
Folipurba (Grass type)
Glaziola (Ice type)
Feelinara (Fairy type)
To secure these monsters, you need to evolve Eevee accordingly. But there are several things to consider, as candies alone are not enough. Depending on which evolution you want, you need to take different factors into account. For example, the time of day is crucial for the evolution of Psiana and Nachtara.
We will show you the tricks for evolving Eevee in the following article:
How do you get Eevee? Eevee can regularly be found in the wild. Throughout the year, it is often part of various events. This also includes the current event Let’s get outside, which runs until October 2, 2023. But even outside of events, it can be spotted in the game.
Furthermore, it is also part of field research month after month. So keep an eye out for a strong specimen there as well. This also gives you a good chance to secure a lot of candies needed for evolving and leveling up. Occasionally, you can even spot its evolutions in the wild.
Are there Shiny Eevee? Yes, Eevee can be caught as Shiny in the game for a long time. You can recognize it by its lighter body. However, you can only obtain its evolutions by evolving them into their shiny forms. How Eevee and its evolutions look normally and as Shiny will be shown in the following image:
Eevee and its evolutions normal and as Shiny
Which evolutions of Eevee are particularly worth it?
Best Raid attackers: Eevee itself is not particularly strong and therefore cannot convince in raids and the GO Battle League. However, some of its evolutions can particularly shine in raids. As Eevee is not a rare monster, it is particularly suitable for beginners. The following evolutions are worth it:
Psiana: The Eevee evolution with the highest attack value is Psiana. For this reason, the Psychic-type Pokémon can particularly shine in raids and is one of the best Psychic attackers in Pokémon GO. However, as there are only occasionally raid bosses of the Fighting and Poison types, it will be needed only rarely.
Glaziola: Slightly worse in attack but a bit stronger in defense is the Ice-type Pokémon Glaziola. With the moves Ice Beam and Avalanche, it ranks among the best Ice attackers after monsters like Galarian Darmanitan or Mamoswine.
Feelinara: The Fairy-type Pokémon also has solid attack and stamina values. With a moveset of Charm and Moonblast, it can score as one of the best Fairy attackers in the game and should have a permanent place in your team alongside Togekiss and Gardevoir.
Folipurba: The Grass-type Pokémon Folipurba can also convince with strong values and ranks under the best Grass attackers with Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade. However, there are other monsters like Kartana, Zarude, or Tapu Bulu that are significantly better. It is mostly a good option for players who do not yet own these Pokémon.
Aquana: An Eevee evolution from the first generation also makes it among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Thus, Aquana with a moveset of Water Gun and Hydro Pump is a good candidate of the Water type, which especially beginners can easily find and power up. Again, there are better candidates that you should prioritize if you own them, such as Kyogre, Swampert, or Kingler.
Attackers for the Battle League: In addition to a range of strong attackers for raids, you can also find good candidates for the GO Battle League with Eevee. Here, too, the advantage is that beginners can easily obtain them:
Feelinara: The monster from the 7th generation is not only a good choice in raids but also in the GO Battle League. It can particularly benefit from its Fairy type, which poses challenges for many players in PvP battles. With the attack combination of Charm, Moonblast, and Psychic, it secures the 91st place in the Master League according to PvPoke.
Nachtara: In addition to Feelinara, you should definitely use Nachtara in the GO Battle League. The Dark-type Pokémon from the second generation has the highest defense value of all Eevee evolutions and can also shine with strong stamina. With a moveset of Last Resort, Leech Life, and Foul Play, it particularly convinces in the Great League, where it secures the 52nd place according to PvPoke. However, it is also a good choice in the Ultra League.
Have you already secured all the evolutions of Eevee? Which one do you like the most? Feel free to write us your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
In Starfield, there are a variety of skills that you can unlock during your journeys through distant systems. However, if you have incorrectly assigned a skill, the desire for a reset is strong.
Are you looking for useful skills to start with? Here we have a video about it:
Start video
Starfield: 5 useful skills that you should definitely unlock at the start
There is a trick for cheaters
How does the trick work? If you are still dissatisfied with your build and have a PC with Game Pass, you can download Starfield. For Xbox players, transferring your save data from your console is necessary. Once you have logged in, you must use console commands to obtain your reset. Follow these steps:
Is it worth cheating? That depends on how far you are in the game and whether achievements are important to you. If you use console commands, all further achievements on this save will be disabled – you cannot earn any more. If you don’t care and just want to have fun and play with a fully optimized build, then go ahead.
Depending on how far you are, having a backup of your file would be wise, so you can access it in case you encounter complications or corrupted files.
Odinfall is an online co-op and rougelite shooter, set to be released on Steam and currently playable as a demo. As the name suggests, the game revolves around Vikings and their gods. We have included the gameplay trailer and some information for you.
What kind of game is this? Odinfall is a game that will be released on Steam and is currently available for download in the store as a demo.
This cooperative game can be played solo or online with other players. It is a rougelite shooter, presented in a colorful, pixelated graphic style as seen in the trailer.
We have embedded the gameplay trailer for you here:
Start video
Odinfall Gameplay Trailer
What does the trailer show? The trailer gives you a great insight into the battles and different areas that await you. It also features some enemies, such as flying skulls, as well as giant wolves.
It becomes clear that Odinfall offers plenty of action. With lots of shooting, numerous effects, and hordes of enemies, the trailer clearly shows you what to expect.
In a brief scene, you can see a warrior traveling over the Bifrost.
What does Odinfall promise? As outcasts from the gods and few survivors of Ragnarök – the doom of the old world – you live in the ruins of Sweden. And you want not only revenge but also to bring down Odin – the father of the gods – thus preventing a second Ragnarök. Because one world-ending was apparently not enough.
You take on the fight against mutated rats, zombie Vikings, and AI robot gods to earn your freedom.
You can choose your path freely across the maps, facing endless possibilities. Find secret shops or search for loot to upgrade yourself.
What the game promises you:
Unique characters
Fast and exciting combat in ranged and melee
Huge selection of weapons (axes, swords, machine guns, or… forks?)
Many weapon modifications
Procedurally generated levels, so you never die the same way
If you’re in the mood for rougelite but not for Vikings, this game might be right for you:
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt was one of those many battle royales that sprang up. With its vampire setting in Prague, the game had an interesting premise, but that couldn’t maintain high player numbers, and ultimately the developers announced the end of support. However, currently, positive reviews on Steam are rising.
What is Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt?
The early access was released on September 7, 2021, the full version on April 27, 2022
It was a classic battle royale
Various vampires with abilities
Beautiful battlefield in the streets of dark Prague
The more than 51,000 reviews on Steam are only 74 % positive. For a battle royale with a classic monetization system, that is probably to be expected. However, in the last 30 days, the reviews have been significantly more positive with 88%. Especially the gameplay is praised.
vanilla knight: It is good, the gameplay is fun and nothing is broken or unbalanced
o k k o: If you like movements, I recommend you play it 100 %
LilianaStar: It is free, and the battle pass is now also free. […] It is really fun if you like royale-type games
The content that the developer made free at the end of the support period is definitely positive, and the gameplay seems to be a positive factor for at least a small community to enjoy the game.
But one must not be deceived, as the player numbers are still not rising. In September, the developers announced a new update for Bloodhunt with new cosmetic items.
Looking at the numbers on SteamDB, one can see that the numbers are still slightly declining. Thus, the many positive reviews seem to come from loyal players and not necessarily new interested parties. Due to the lack of support, a sudden increase in the numbers is still not to be expected.
If you want to check it out, you should do so soon, as without monetization, the game will likely be shut down at some point, because the server costs remain. However, for the gameplay and the beautiful city, it is definitely worth a look at this free game.

In Starfield you can build your own outpost and farm various resources with it. One player, however, has not settled for a few buildings and resource extractors in Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG, but has created an outpost as big as a city.
What kind of city is this? Since Starfield was officially released, fans have been sharing tons of pictures and videos of their elaborately built spaceships on social media. The Twitter user “NikoMueller” has now taken a different direction in a post and shown a huge outpost he built in Starfield – completely without mods.
NikoMueller’s outpost is as big as a city and completely automatically farms resources. The images also show that he built the outpost near Akila City on the planet Akila. On Akila, there is water, aluminum, nickel, argon, benzene, and cobalt.

What is in the outpost? NikoMueller also attached two videos to his post in which he showcases his impressive creation. The videos show meter-high towers made of containers and other storage units, various extractors that farm resources, as well as taking off spaceships that distribute the farmed resources via a freight link between different outposts.
In addition to the various machines, two fusion reactors, and numerous wind turbines for energy generation, the player equipped his city with greenhouses and laser turrets that protect his outpost from space pirates and extraterrestrial beings like the native Ashta on Akila.
He also states that he has eight human NPCs and six robots in his outpost, which expand his production, clean the gardens and rooms, increase the machine performance, and enhance the defense system’s capabilities.

Does the outpost remain in New Game Plus? No, like many other things, the built outposts are gone in “New Game+” and need to be rebuilt.
However, NikoMueller explains in the comments of his post that he built the huge, fully automated outpost in “New Game +++”, which is his fourth run of the game.
How can the outpost run fully automatically? Once you have built the basic structures like various extractors, storage units, and generators (or other energy-producing machines), you must connect the different devices with cables and output links.
You should also ensure that you always have enough power and that this is ideally produced and distributed via the output links.
If you use a generator, for example, you need helium-3. If you have a helium-3 source and a corresponding extractor in your outpost, you can continuously supply your generator with helium-3, allowing it to produce energy that powers your machines.
If you want to read more about building an outpost and setting up fully automated processes, we have a guide for you here:
In May 2003, the MMORPG EVE Online went online for the first time. That was over 20 years ago, and that’s exactly what the developers celebrated together with the fans at Fanfest 2023 in Iceland. Our author Mark Sellner was there and on the trail of the question of what makes the game so captivating even after 20 years that thousands of people watch every day as their ships are destroyed.
“EVE Online is not just a game, it is a community and a society in itself.” With these words, CCP Hellmar, CEO of EVE, opens the closing ceremony of the Fanfest. Just two days earlier, I arrived in Iceland and got to take a tour of the developer’s buildings.
Right above the entrance, the inscription reads, “We create virtual worlds that are more meaningful than real life.” In the 48 hours between, I had plenty of time to watch talks and analyses, and to talk to fans. I wanted to find out why the space sandbox EVE Online can still excite even after 20 years.
That it still does is beyond question. Over 1,200 fans and 250 developers traveled to the biggest Fanfest that EVE has ever celebrated in Iceland. Even the President of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, gave a speech to welcome the space heroes of EVE Online.

Often, the “nasty” and “evil” are in the foreground, but on a smaller scale, there’s more behind it. The secret of EVE Online is the friendships it can create. The developers at CCP even go so far as to call EVE a “friendship machine.” And although some of the viewers have shot each other hundreds of times in the game, everyone seems to agree.
On stage, a CCP employee begins his presentation with the words “Every friendship in EVE begins with…” and the crowd collectively shouts: “a kill.” Later, a fan explains to me that many contacts start when a new player is cold-bloodedly shot down by a veteran.
However, it often happens that this person then messages you afterward and explains why you were just shot down. Some even go so far as to replace the destroyed ship. That’s how friendships in EVE Online begin, and not a few of them.
About 72% of EVE players who have played the MMORPG for over 10 hours report having found at least one new friend in space. The developers proudly present this statistic because it makes the game special. While many MMORPGs rely on community, rarely does it function as successfully as in the expanses of New Eden.
This strong focus on the community and the players is clearly reflected in many decisions made by the developers. True to the motto “If we don’t do it, you’ll do it anyway. So we’ll do it,” says Creative Director CCP Burgur in the deep dive into EVE Vanguard.
The love for the community becomes clear when you notice the massive EVE statue in the heart of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland and the headquarters of CCP. It was expanded for the 20th anniversary and bears the names of all EVE pilots who have ever had an Omega membership. Over the last 20 years, this has accumulated hundreds of thousands of names.

Whether tyrant or pope, at the Fanfest, everyone belongs together
Some players on site, with whom I spoke, have been there from the beginning. This is not surprising, as the average number of play hours for Fanfest visitors is a relaxed 7,600, as I am told by CCP.
In all this time, solid societies form in the community, shaped by prominent individuals. This includes the annually elected “Council of Stellar Management,” in which players can vote for 12 other players to work with the developers for a year to make the right decisions for EVE.
But less game-defining figures have also emerged from the community itself, such as the Space Pope Max Singularity. He actually originated from a meme, but now stands for unity in New Eden. It even goes so far that he married a player couple at the Fanfest 2018.

I knew most of these stories before I arrived at Fanfest and, after so much rivalry among the factions, assumed it would be similar on site. But I was surprised.
Although most fans on site wore insignias like clan emblems or colors, by the last evening, symbolically everyone was hugging and celebrating themselves, each other, and the game itself.
I witnessed how members of rival corps and developers themselves sang and had fun together. The “friendship machine” seems to actually work. Even if a friendship in EVE often begins with being shot down by the other.
Long-lasting friendships also form among the developers. Those who have been involved for more than 10 years receive a special sword in the company HQ (Photo: Roger Sieber)
More power to the players, new games in the universe of New Eden, and the foundation for new friendships
I would also claim to have found more than a few new friends through Fanfest. Whether other authors on site, enthusiastic players who are setting up their own EVE accounts for the birth of their children, or developers. I spoke with many and connected sustainably, and this despite hardly coming into contact with the actual game itself.
In the future, it should be even easier. Because the announcements at Fanfest indicate that EVE wants to broaden its reach and reach more people. One part of this will be the new expansion Havoc, which focuses on giving players even more power and space.
Also, the shooter in the EVE universe, Vanguard, could expand the potential target audience for the MMORPG. Because the past 20 years seem, according to the developers and fans, just the beginning.

In speeches and presentations, developers often talk about the “next and next decade” instead of the next year. They want to focus on building good foundations for the future and creating something together that is bigger than any individual, as CEO Hilmar states.
EVE should “last forever”. That it at least has the potential to do so, I realized when I spoke with fans who are younger than EVE Online itself. To achieve this, CCP wants to expand the universe of EVE Online beyond Vanguard and EVE itself.
With Galaxy Conquest, a new 4X mobile game in New Eden (via CCP) will soon launch, and even a board game was introduced at Fanfest.
So is the community the secret behind 20 years of success? At least that’s how the developers see it. And not just them: scientists rely on the community in EVE’s Project Discovery to advance research in cancer and Covid, and successfully so.
Even a museum exhibition about the history of the EVE community is set to open soon in Madrid, as announced at Fanfest. The exhibition itself will also be organized by the players.
After three days in Iceland, I personally experienced that the community and the opportunities given to them make EVE Online successful. The MMORPG itself is simply the framework for what the players create. And there are practically no limits to that.“The only true sandbox,” as a fan described it in a conversation with me. In which the developers can keep pouring more sand with tools and expansions.
What do you think? Have you ever found friends in EVE Online? Have you been around for 20 years yourself? What do you think lies behind the fascination of EVE? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO.
You’re into SAO action RPGs? For just €8 you can visit Kirito in Gun Gale Online.
The franchise “Sword Art Online” is not only represented in the anime realm, but has also spawned many video games. Although we are not yet able to fully dive into a game with a “Full Dive”, there are numerous video games featuring Kirito, Asuna, and various worlds from the anime series.
Many games from the franchise are somewhat ridiculed or have mixed reviews. However, this is not the case with “Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet,” which you can currently buy for €8 on Steam.
Start video
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet – Trailer shows the anime action RPG in detail
When does Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet take place? According to that, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet does not take place in Aincrad, the world from the first season, but in “Gun Gale Online” – a virtual MMO shooter with various areas.
Anyone who has watched the second season of Sword Art Online is already familiar with this game world.
What kind of game is this? Fatal Bullet is a mix of a 3rd-person shooter and action RPG. You create your own avatar and explore the world of Gun Gale Online while following the storyline, collecting better equipment, or diving into PvP battles.
The game is predominantly a single-player experience and presents you with an exciting story in Gun Gale Online, where you also encounter some familiar characters from the anime.
There is co-op, but only in combat against certain bosses – that’s just a very small part of the game.
In PvP battles, you can compete against other players and in teams of 4 characters each.
What do the reviews say? Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is among the better-rated games in the series and is considered pretty good. This also leads to a Steam rating of 80% positive reviews (with over 14,000 reviews total).
If you haven’t given the game a chance yet, but are generally interested in the world and story of Sword Art Online, you should take the opportunity. Because until October 2nd, you can get the game for €8 on Steam – or the “Complete Edition” for €18.71 with all 4 DLCs.
If you want “more like Sword Art Online” but prefer to just watch, we also have a fine anime list for you:
With Update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red has released a completely revamped skill tree and a new cyberware system. To ensure you stand out in the chaos of Night City, we present to you three of the best new builds.
The new skill tree and the new cyberware system in Cyberpunk 2077 have changed the way you skill your character “V”. Accordingly, it is time to put your intended builds to the test. And that’s exactly why we have three builds for three different play styles for you.
Before you read the guides:
In the guide, you will also find our weapon recommendations. In our list, you can check where to find the weapons marked as “iconic.”
Before Update 2.0, you could unlock a maximum of 71 attribute points, of which 50 were gained through level-ups. With Phantom Liberty, you get a new level cap of 60 and potentially 10 more attribute points. These guides focus on the base game with the old level cap.
The minimum level of your attributes should always be 4 so that you can at least benefit from the basic advantages of each attribute.
All three builds focus on two, at most three attributes that you fully level up and use the corresponding unlocked advantages. You can allocate remaining points to your desired attributes and advantages as you like.
If you like to dive into the fray with full speed, the Solo Build is the right choice. It allows you powerful melee attacks. Moreover, Vs with this build can take a significant amount of damage.

Constitution: 20
Reflexes: 20
Technical Skills: 20
Intelligence: 9
Coolness: 12

We wish you lots of fun with the builds and are, of course, curious about how you have skilled your Vs. What is your favorite play style in Cyberpunk 2077?
EA FC 24 is now available in Early Access, and the community immediately notices that an important feature is missing in the career mode. We will show you what it is about.
The career mode of EA Sports has received some new features, which do not revolutionize the mode but expand it with several functionalities. Now there are:
Simplified tactics with Tactical Visions
An own coaching staff that you can hire
Better preparation for the next match with “Match Preparation” and “Matchday Training”
A new camera perspective from the sidelines to watch the game like a coach
A player agent in your player career who helps you become a superstar
Additionally, EA mentions the implementation of numerous new cutscenes that are supposed to make the career mode even more immersive. However, fans painfully miss a particularly important cutscene from previous years in the FIFA successor.
Community misses important cutscenes before kickoff
In the career mode of FIFA 23, there used to be some cutscenes shown before the start of a match. You could see fans entering the stadium, the teams coming onto the field, high-fiving each other, and finally, even the line-ups of the teams. You could also hear the respective fan chants and anthems of the teams.
The whole thing was underscored by commentators who contextualized the match.
Scenes that no longer exist in the career mode of EA FC 24.The line-up created a real TV feeling.
This is missing now in EA FC 24: When you now start a match in career mode in EA FC 24, the cutscenes are significantly shorter. You do get a few impressions of the players in the dressing room, the coaches, as well as a brief look at the teams entering the field.
But there is no longer a proper entrance with commentators, handshakes, and the introduction of the line-ups.
This is what the community says: On Reddit, fans of the career mode largely express negative opinions regarding the absence of the popular cutscenes.
We have summarized a few voices for you:
TheEvolution_PT: ‘Yes, this ruins it for me. I am really disappointed. I have always played FIFA just for the career mode.’
Integral_06: ‘That was what contributed the most to immersion, absolutely terrible.’
kingfish101: ‘I don’t know why EA would want to remove that. It just kills a lot of immersion.’
areyouhungryforapple: ‘One of the biggest setbacks in recent years. They have removed so much of their own work for no reason. The scenes gave a reason to play away games to see the different fan chants, anthems, and choreographies.’
Is this just a bug? What lies behind the absence of the popular pre-match cutscenes is still unknown, as EA has not yet commented on it. However, it could very well be a bug, as some fans suspect in the official EA forum.
But it could also be that EA simply wanted to integrate new, significantly shorter cutscenes. As soon as we know more, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
What do you think about the absence of cutscenes in EA Sports FC 24? Will you miss the scenes at the beginning of a match? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
If you are looking for the best talents for your EA FC 24 career, then take a look here:
Since Phantom Liberty, there are new vendors in Cyberpunk 2077 selling powerful upgrades for your protagonist. We will show you where to find them, how much they cost, and what they can do for you.
These upgrades are permanent and are particularly worthwhile for players who already have enough Eurodollars saved up.
New insights into Phantom Liberty can be found here in the new trailer featuring Idris Elba:

Dog Town, new city with great potential
Where can I find the vendors? The new vendors in Dog Town are your go-to spots when it comes to buying upgrades for your character. We have scoured the city and found that all food stalls, bars, and med stations each offer a permanent upgrade for sale.
You can find all new and worthwhile vendors in the new city “Dogtown”
These items can be purchased for up to 12,000 Eurocredits. In our test, we also tried to reset the vendors and their offerings to see if the items would refresh again. Unfortunately, this does not happen even after 2 in-game days.
Moreover, the items are consumed immediately upon purchase. Whether this is just a bug or intentional, we cannot say with certainty yet.
What kind of upgrades are these? All items either increase health regeneration, stamina regeneration, or your maximum health. You can recognize the items by their golden background.
What else is being sold? According to a new loading screen in Cyberpunk 2077, players have discovered that iconic weapons are also sold in Dogtown. These are items that you may have missed in a quest or mission, and thus cannot obtain anymore.
What secrets and innovations have you discovered that you would like to share with the community? Feel free to leave us a comment and interact with other fans!

In an interview with the business magazine Forbes, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa (29) talks about how she divides her time between Twitch and Kick, and how she managed to assert herself as a woman in the streaming world.
What deal is it about? In mid-June 2023, Amouranth signed a non-exclusive contract with the Twitch competitor Kick. Since then, she has been dividing her time between the streaming platforms. The announcement of the switch was made with an ironic video:
First, Amouranth is seen reading an article about her Twitch colleague Félix “xQc” Lengyel. He received 70 million US dollars for a two-year contract with the option to earn an additional 30 million dollars if he meets certain conditions. The total sum of the deal amounts to 100 million dollars, making him even competitive with professional athletes.
In her own announcement, Amouranth calls her agent and says: “Hey, well, the 100-million-dollar deals have begun… can I get one of those?” How much money the streamer actually received was previously unknown; rumors spoke of 30 million US dollars for 2 years. In an interview with the business magazine Forbes, she now spoke about the monetization of her brand.

Amouranth went from Twitch outsider to top earner
How much did Amouranth actually receive? The streamer does not reveal that, but Forbes speaks of “a non-exclusive deal with the competitor platform Kick for an estimated 7 million dollars annually.” This means Amouranth would only receive 1/5 of what xQc received.
However, Twitch and Kick are not the only sources of income for the streamer. With her OnlyFans account alone, she reportedly earns more than 100 million US dollars a month. And Amouranth wouldn’t be the businesswoman she is if she couldn’t even make money while sleeping.
To manage all of this, Amouranth has a tight schedule: She explains to Forbes that she is live on Twitch and Kick for at least 10 hours a day. According to Amouranth, this is important for the community aspect.
The streamer explains that she differs from many of her female colleagues. They are not as chronically online as she is. For women, it is generally more difficult to assert oneself in live streaming because the audience is predominantly male and can identify more with men, says Amouranth.
However, she has managed to overcome the feeling of being an “outsider” as a female streamer on Twitch and just kept streaming.
However, to ensure a steady stream of new content, the streamer takes “two days every few weeks” to pre-produce content: On these days, YouTube videos, photos for Instagram and Twitter, as well as recordings that users can purchase on OnlyFans and other paid platforms are created.
In addition, Amouranth earns money through sponsorships and various investments. The 29-year-old owns several gas stations and knows how to invest her money wisely.
In Pokémon GO raids are one of the most popular features. Now Niantic wants to finally improve a problem that has been criticized by players for years. We at MeinMMO show you what the developers are planning and how the community is reacting.
Which raids are we talking about? In Pokémon GO, you can not only catch monsters in the wild, but also challenge them in raids. Depending on how difficult a raid boss is, you need the support of other trainers or can sometimes tackle it alone.
What has Niantic planned? As Reddit user Amiibofan101 shows in his post, the developers of Pokémon GO announced on the night of September 27 over their X account that they have started a test series for a raid change. In some areas, the preparation times for level 1 and level 3 raids are to be reduced to 60 and 80 seconds, respectively.

So the developers write (via x.com): We are conducting a test that affects tier 1 and tier 3 raid battles in some regions. For trainers participating in raids in these areas, the countdown timer before the start of the raid will be reduced to 60 seconds for tier-1 raids and 80 seconds for tier-3 raids.
What does the change bring for players? With the change, Niantic is addressing the long-standing criticism of the community. Anyone wishing to complete a raid alone previously had to wait 120 seconds in the arena before the actual raid started. A long time during which you could only wait and could not catch any monsters. With the experimental change, times should now be significantly shortened.
Criticism of the shorter timer: Although the change is a step in the right direction and significantly shortens the time in the lobby, players find this implementation the wrong approach. Just recently, a new ready button was added to the game, allowing trainers in the raid lobby to start the fight faster.
But there is a big catch. It can only be used if there are at least two people in the lobby. Then it works wonderfully and reduces the countdown to 10 seconds after being activated together. However, those who want to tackle the raid alone still need to be patient. The button is grayed out and cannot be pressed. Instead, you have to wait for other trainers.
Here, many trainers believe Niantic should activate the button generally and not change the preparation times. Additionally, there is criticism of the new shorter times. These could be too short for players who want to play with remote raids and have been invited. Comments such as (via reddit.com) can be seen:
Charmd2: We have a ready button. Why the hell would we reduce the timers when there’s a T1 or T3 raid that we want to invite people to? I mean, I remember Wuffels raids where everyone wanted an invite. Or Turtonator. Crazy decision, Niantic. How about a ready button for the whole time, even in solo.
ScottaHemi: It’s not bad, but why don’t you just activate that damn button?
techbear72: But this is even worse. If for some reason you want to invite other people, it would be much better to have the ready button available under all circumstances given the unreliability of notifications and everything else.
Support for the change: However, there are also a number of players who find a shorter timer sensible. They explain in the comments that it is especially important for low-level players to easily join other players in a raid.
If the ready button were also active for individual players, these trainers might not have a chance to jump into raids. Security concerns also play a role for some. An active ready button, in their opinion, could also motivate drivers at a red light to quickly participate in such a fight, which in turn would affect traffic.
What do you think of Niantic’s planned change? Would you prefer to have a better function of the ready button? Or do you find a shorter countdown more sensible? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and share your thoughts with other trainers.
The most Boomer shooters in the spirit of Doom do not hold back on blood or explicit violence. The upcoming game Fortune’s Run had a warning for a specific scene, but this was Steam probably not explicit enough, and according to the developer, the game was initially not allowed to be released.
What is Fortune’s Run? The indie game is a classic Boomer shooter.
In the spirit of Doom or Quake, you shoot your way through pixelated hallways full of enemies
Despite the appearance, the game is for adult players
In Early Access since 01.09.2023
Is set to release on 28.09.2023
But the days before the release were turbulent for the developer, as the developer posted on Twitter, Steam blocked the release of the game. According to the developer, this was due to 2 reasons. The first being a gameplay problem in the tutorial, which has since been solved, but the 2nd problem was a scene and the accompanying warning.
Often, the removal from Steam also has legal reasons:
Fortune’s Run – Trailer of the Boomer Shooter in the spirit of Doom and Quake
For Valve, a scene was not explicit enough
As the developer states in the Twitter post, there is a scene in the game that deals with sexual violence. Due to this scene, the developer wanted to set up a content warning in both the game itself and on the Steam page to warn players.
The developer finds the depicted scene so disgusting that a prior warning and an option to deactivate the content is required. However, Steam saw this differently according to the developer and found the scene not explicit enough to justify these warnings.
As the next step, the developer wanted to remove the content warning from the Steam page to secure the imminent release.
Was the developer successful? As the developer now confirms in their latest Twitter post, the removal of the content warning was successful and the game was approved for release by Steam. Thus, nothing stands in the way of the release on 28.09.2023.
While the developer is not completely satisfied, there is still a content warning in the game itself and the ability to remove and filter this content in the game.
Sometimes developers themselves do not know why their game is removed:
