All events in June 2023 at Pokémon GO in the overview with dates and details. We show you all known bonuses and which events are especially worth attending.
What does the overview show? Here you will find all already known events planned for June 2023 at Pokémon GO. Among other things, spotlight and raid hours will take place, as well as community days and special events.
For some, only the names are known, while for others, details are already available. In this case, we link to the corresponding articles.
In any case, the new season “Hidden Gems” in Pokémon GO will start in June 2023. You can see the trailer here:

All events in June 2023 at Pokémon GO in the overview
In June, you can expect four spotlight hours and four raid hours. In the raids, you can encounter Pokémon like Vesprit and Mega-Sumpex. Various themed events will start with a community day.
We show you the events here in the overview. Below we will detail the dates that could be particularly worthwhile for you.
Date
Event
From June 1
Research breakthrough with Zobiris*, Tanhel*, Ohrdoch*, Coiffwaff*. Viscora or eF-eM*
June 1 – June 15
Raids with Selfe, Vesprit, Tobutz (depending on the region)
Which events are particularly worth it in June 2023?
These could be worth it: A large part of the events have only been announced by name, but there is already information on some that could be exciting.
Research Day “Goldsuche”(June 3): On this day you can encounter the Pokémon Raupy, Karpadorm Nasgnet, Zobiris and Schmerbe through limited research, whose Shiny rate will be increased on this day. So an exciting event for players who are looking for shiny monsters. Additionally, PokéStops can transform into golden PokéStops without the need for a gold lure module. This is how you get coins for Gierspenst.
Water Festival: Beach Week (June 6 – June 12): Here, among other things, the debut of the Pokémon Sankabuh will take place, as well as bonuses on strong throws. There will be extra candies. Additionally, the spawns will be mixed up considerably.
Like day and night + Team GO Rocket takeover (June 16 – June 25): The contents are still unknown, but it is clear that Team GO Rocket is launching a takeover. This raises hopes that during this period you can “unlearn frustration” and thus make some of the best Crypto attackers really useful.
Which further events will be added, and where more details will become known, remains to be seen for now.
However, it is certain that the new season “Hidden Gems” starting on June 1 will determine the events in Pokémon GO.

Today, on June 8th, there are issues with the servers of Diablo 4. They have been intermittently unreachable. This results in long queues where players are currently stuck.
Some players report queue times over 30 minutes (via reddit). The message “Connecting to the Diablo IV services” also appears, sometimes causing the game to freeze right at that point.
What is the current status? At 11:50 PM, the servers are still problematic, with more and more players reporting they can now log in. Many are still stuck in the queue, and some are still experiencing error messages.
The problems affect both the servers in Europe and America.
What is behind error 300202? “An error occurred while logging in (Code 300202).” This is a message indicating that you cannot access the servers with your character.
It has primarily occurred on PlayStation and Xbox. It is now also appearing on PC, as well as code 1016.
A solution for the problem is updating graphics drivers, relogging, or checking your internet connection. However, the error message today is likely mainly due to the server crashes. We will keep you updated here.
What does Blizzard say? Blizzard has also recently added a note in BattleNet. It states:
We are currently investigating reports of login issues with Diablo IV and are working to resolve them as soon as possible.
While you wait for the return of Diablo 4, you can check out the new trailer for the biggest competitor. Path of Exile 2 showcased new gameplay during the Summer Game Fest:

The MMORPG hope Throne and Liberty presented new gameplay at the Summer Game Fest 2023 and announced a tech test of a beta version that you can sign up for.
What kind of game is this?
Throne and Liberty is an MMORPG from the South Korean development studio NCsoft, which was originally planned as Lineage Eternal and was completely taken offline and revised in 2017.
A trailer for the highly anticipated title has already garnered 8.9 million views on YouTube.
The MMORPG focuses on an open game world where movement is said to play an important role. Players can use grappling hooks and can also transform themselves into water and flying creatures.
What has been announced now? As part of the Summer Game Fest 2023, Throne and Liberty showcased new gameplay. Impressive video sequences, new gameplay, and the announcement that registration for a tech test is now open were among the highlights.
In addition to Throne and Liberty, numerous other trailers for various games will be shown at the Summer Game Fest. If you want to know what is happening at the event, you can read that in our live ticker on MeinMMO:
In Destiny 2 has experienced increased server issues this week. The developer aimed to fix these and other difficulties today during a multi-hour background maintenance. However, what was supposed to happen unnoticed and without server downtime has caused the servers to be less than optimally accessible all day long. MeinMMO will keep you updated on the status.
Update history on server outages on June 8:
21:45: Our login was just successful. The servers are back online. Bungie will continue to monitor service stability as players try to log in.
21:00: The servers are now offline for the second time today for emergency maintenance. An update will be provided within 1 hour, which does not mean you can play again then. Apparently, the problems are deep and the support staff at Bungie are doing their best to get it all under control. Now we have to keep our fingers crossed that the second server downtime goes better.
20:30: Destiny 2 will be sent into emergency server maintenance for the second time today due to the ongoing error messages and will therefore go offline. Downtime begins at 21:00. An end time has not yet been announced. Players should prepare for updates.
19:00: The community manager of Destiny 2 has issued the following statement to players regarding today’s ongoing issues:
“We know it’s frustrating, and the team is working as hard and efficiently as possible. The live service is difficult, to be honest, but the team will share further updates via @BungieHelp. Don’t forget about the new developer account, as feedback is being sought here: @Destiny2Team” wrote Liana Ruppert via Twitter.
18:30: Bungie has responded to player reports and via Twitter stated that they are investigating the renewed increase of various error codes. However, no further information is available on that yet.
17:00: The guardianship is divided. While some have been able to play again since this afternoon, others are still receiving error codes, such as “Chicken”. An error code that usually occurs when there are connection problems with Destiny 2. However, Bungie has still not made a statement regarding these new errors that have occurred for some players after the maintenance.
12:30: Some players are still facing issues. While we were able to enjoy the Crucible on PC without problems, other players are currently receiving the error code “Chicken” and still cannot log in. So far, there is no official information from Bungie about whether this will require further action from the developer. We will keep an eye on it.
11:30: Bungie has now also reported that the servers are back online. Maintenance is complete and web functions have been reactivated. If you still have issues, you can report them directly in the Bungie forum.
11:16: Good news. The login is working again. Bungie hasn’t yet reached out via Twitter. But the servers seem to be back online. It looks good that everything will soon be online again as usual. We will give the all-clear as soon as the info is official.
10:22: Bungie has just changed the status of the background maintenance to emergency maintenance. Another update regarding the issues is expected to be provided within an hour. Where were you when the servers died?
10:00: Bungie would have ended the background maintenance by now if everything had gone as planned. But the servers are still offline – no one can play. Via Twitter, it was announced that they are still investigating the login issues with Destiny 2 and players should prepare for updates.
09:03: Bungie is aware of the problem that players are currently unable to log in to Destiny 2. “Weasel” error codes continue to occur.
08:00: The background maintenance has just started. Shortly after, the servers were no longer accessible. Bungie asks for a bit of patience while they investigate the problem.
Read the original article here:
This is what you need to know today: Destiny 2 players have faced various error codes in recent days that kicked them out of the game and severely impacted their playtime. This led to frustration and dissatisfaction within the community.
Bungie has reacted and decided to address these issues today, June 8, in a multi-hour background maintenance.
What was supposed to happen in the background, without the need for the Destiny 2 servers to be temporarily taken offline, did not go as planned.
Since 08:00, players have been unable to log into the game. The servers are unreachable – and this is happening while today is a public holiday in some parts of Germany.
MeinMMO continues to inform you about the current situation in this article and let you know when you can play again.

Destiny 2: Teaser trailer for the DLC “The Final Form”
Background Maintenance on June 8 – All Times for Server Downtime
From maintenance to emergency server downtime: Early in the morning, Bungie informed players today that they planned a harmless background maintenance.
Destiny 2 will undergo a full-day backend maintenance starting in 2 hours today. After the maintenance begins, players can click on “Orbit” at the end of the activity to return to the title screen. Players who log in again should not expect any further interruptions.
Bungie stated this around 06:00 AM German time via Twitter
Here is the exact schedule for the maintenance:
At 06:00 AM German time, players were informed about the background work.
At 08:00 AM, Bungie started the maintenance. There were brief server disconnects.
The expected login should then be possible again around 10:00 AM.
Important: While background maintenance is ongoing, players may experience connection issues in the game. You may also have to contend with queues at login directly after the update.
But it never came to that. Shortly after the background maintenance began, everything stopped working.
Error Codes, Emergency Maintenance, and 2 Server Downtimes
Destiny 2 is struggling with persistent error codes: The troubleshooting in the background did not go as planned. Instead of a brief disruption, the Destiny servers have been completely unavailable since 08:00 AM.
Players could no longer log in
During login, an error message appeared stating that the servers are currently offline with a Weasel.
Nothing worked anymore – The planned background maintenance led to a complete outage of the servers
While it can be frustrating to temporarily not have access to the game, it is important to keep in mind that this maintenance is ultimately meant to lead to a more stable and smoother gaming experience.
MeinMMO will keep you updated about the progress and updates related to the background maintenance and inform you when the servers of the loot shooter are back online and stable. Therefore, we recommend players to check back regularly to stay informed about the current situation.

But despite the server outage, Season 21 in Destiny 2 has been quite relaxed so far:
The upcoming Diablo 4 competitor Path of Exile 2 showcased new gameplay at the Summer Game Fest and announced a date for further new information about the game.
What kind of game is this? Path of Exile 2 is an upcoming hack-and-slash title by Grinding Gear Games and the successor to the popular Path of Exile.
Path of Exile is characterized by a very large and complex skill tree.
What new information is there? Shortly after the release of the largest Path of Exile competitor Diablo 4, Grinding Gear Games announced during the Summer Game Fest 2023 that new information about the hack-and-slash RPG would be shown on July 28, 2023. Additionally, new gameplay was showcased.
A specific release date is not yet known.

As TCG Magic: The Gathering still comes up with something special after 30 years to ignite the collecting passion of fans. A special card will only be printed once, and collectors spare no expense or effort to secure “their treasure.”
What is this card about? On June 23, 2023, the highly anticipated crossover of Magic: The Gathering and The Lord of the Rings will be released. In addition to familiar characters from Middle-earth, the edition also includes a very special treasure:
The “The 1 of 1 Ring” is a card that will only be printed once, making it a true unique piece. Collector hearts are already racing at the sight of the borderless illustration that shines in foil printing – and especially because of the serial number 001 of 001.
The well-known collector Dan Brock has already put a bounty of $100,000 on the card. However, he clarified that this was only a “starting price” meant to get people talking.
This is the current price development: The unique card has not yet been released, but collectors are already outbidding each other. Football player Cassius Marsh just raised his bid from $150,000 to half a million but has already been outbid (via Twitter).
Dave & Adam’s, a company that has been dealing in collectible cards, comics, and signed memorabilia for 30 years, has now put a bounty of one million dollars on the card.
The offer is valid only until July 17 – by then, the card must be found.
Start video
Magic Spellslingers Official Trailer
Conveniently, Dave & Adams is also selling the matching booster boxes in which the valuable card can be found – at a pre-order price of $424.95, which is just under €395. With 12 packs per box, that makes almost 33 euros per booster.
This price is indeed significantly higher than what one would normally pay for regular boosters, but not unusual for special editions.
For Dave & Adam’s, this is a win-win situation, as they profit from the sold boxes and might not even have to pay out the bounty – for example, if the lucky finder does not want to sell, only contacts after July 17, or there is simply a better offer by then.
Are there any other offers? There are indeed. LOTR fans, who are less concerned about money and more about the flavor, might also enjoy the “bounty” from Moxie Card Shop.
Because they are offering to meet around a cozy campfire with costumes and snacks and to let the card go up in flames together – as it should be.

Whoever finds the card hopefully does not make the mistake of showing it on YouTube beforehand. Because then the Wizards of the Coast will quickly become unpleasant and send the infamous Pinkertons after the supposed lucky finder.
Near the town of “Ked Bardu”, in Diablo 4, you will find a side quest named “Reject the Mother”. This guide includes location and solution.
How do I get the quest “Reject the Mother”? To obtain the side quest, you first need to find a note. This is located in the Tusmaa Rift southeast of the waypoint “Ked Bardu” among smaller rocks and some enemies.
Once you have clicked on and read the note, you will be tasked with making your way to the statue and rejecting Lilith at her secret shrine. The statue of Lilith is now marked with a small blue circle.
The statue is hard to miss, as your quest marker leads you into a cave where it is surrounded by candles and sculptures.
Here, you need to stand in front of the statue and perform the emote “No”. However, this emote is not included by default in your emote wheel. Further down, you will find out how to customize your wheel.
How to use and change emotes? Here are the keys for mouse and keyboard as well as controller:
Keyboard: Opens the emote menu with “E”
Use the mouse wheel to switch the emote tab
Controller: Opens the emote menu with “D-pad up”
Use L1/R1 or LB/RB to switch the emote tab
When you are in the emote menu, press “Triangle” or “Y” on the controller or select “Customize” with the mouse. In this menu, you can swap your emotes:
What do emotes do? With the help of emotes, it is possible to communicate with other players in Diablo 4. Furthermore, you can interact with various shrines to receive certain bonuses.
If you have questions about the emotes or the quest, please leave a comment. We are also open to ideas for further guides.
The actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg is angry. Very angry. Diablo 4 has not been released for Mac, even though all other titles in the Diablo series were previously released on her “preferred gaming platform.”Her anger is now directed at Blizzard.
In front of an army of shoes, Whoopi Goldberg recorded a short video and uploaded it to Instagram. She emphasizes that there are more urgent crises, but she is still upset about the absence of Diablo 4 on the Apple platform. She, like many others, was looking forward to the release, some of whom have exaggerated.
What is her accusation? She criticizes Blizzard for not sufficiently warning Mac users that Diablo 4 will be available on PC only for Windows. Diablo, Diablo 2, and Diablo 3 have all been released for Mac, but Diablo 4 breaks that tradition. Her request to Blizzard is as follows:
Blizzard Entertainment, this is Whoopi. You know how much I love Diablo. I want you to allow those of us who use our Apple to play, to be able to play on the Apple! Take Diablo 4 and let us play and have a great time!
She had already purchased Diablo 4 in eager anticipation, but the game cannot be played on her computer. Blizzard had not released any information beforehand that the game only works for Windows. For the next installment, Blizzard can leave out the Mac platform, but since Whoopi has already paid for Diablo 4, she wants to play it now.
MeinMMO has put together two important settings that you should activate at the start of Diablo 4:
Start video
Diablo 4: Immediately activate these 2 settings, otherwise you will miss important equipment values
How did Blizzard respond? The head of Diablo 4, Rod Fergusson, commented on Goldberg’s furious speech in a tweet. He says that “the shouting from Whoopi Goldberg” was not on his bingo card for the launch, so he did not expect such a reaction.
Whether Diablo 4 will be released for Mac remains open, Fergusson said. In general, there has been no statement from Blizzard as to why the development team decided to omit the Mac version for the release.

Still, we hope for Whoopi Goldberg and all Apple users among you that Diablo 4 will still be released for Mac in some form. While Whoopi Goldberg likely has enough money to buy a PC with a Windows operating system, we wouldn’t want her to have to make that switch.
For more articles about Diablo 4, you can find them on MeinMMO:
Where do we know Whoopi Goldberg from? Whoopi Goldberg is an American actress. One of her more well-known works is her leading role in Sister Act. She has won numerous awards, including the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards.
Unfortunately, Goldberg currently does not have the opportunity to dive into the world of Sanctuary. With our tier list, she can at least take a look at which class she might have created: Diablo 4 Tier List: Best classes & builds for solo and groups

With the latest update for Pokémon HOME, the player was now able to bring his old companion to Paldea in Violet/Scarlet (via 3D Juegos).
What makes this Pokémon so special? Charizard actually doesn’t need such a rescue. He could have obtained the final evolution of Charmander, the fire starter from Generation 1, much easier.
However, Roxaschao did not want just any Charizard, but exactly the one with which he had played through the FireRed edition back then.

This is how he did it: To transfer his loyal companion to the latest generation, Roxaschao spared no expense.
The player bought a GameBoy Advance, a link cable compatible with the GameCube, and Pokémon Ruby
From there through Platinum and the White edition to the Pokémon Bank
From the Pokémon Bank it went on to Pokémon HOME and from there finally to Violet
To achieve this, the loyal trainer also bought a supposedly defective 2DS and a damaged DSlite, as well as other equipment that he could repair himself. Despite these measures, Roxaschao still paid nearly $340, which is just over €315, to get his Charizard back.
The whole undertaking took the Reddit user about a year. During this time, he also caught up on the game generations he had skipped back then.

Even though it became clear to him afterwards that he could have saved money with hacks or a custom operating system, he does not regret it, said Roxaschao. Given the current developments, the prices for the old hardware and software would rather continue to rise.
In the comments, some Reddit users are already making rescue plans for their own stranded Pokémon, while others regret their pocket monsters that were deleted with a defective edition.
The “Unreal Tournament” series is considered one of the most influential shooter franchises in the world. Epic actually intended to reboot the series. However, in 2017 the team was pulled to develop a failed “Minecraft-like gameinto a PUBG clone“ that was supposed to become a worldwide success under the name Fortnite: Battle Royale. But for Unreal Tournament, Fortnite’s success marked the beginning of the end.
What was the plan?
Unreal Tournament is a cult shooter series, with three titles released from 1999 to 2007.
In 2014, Epic Games announced that they would reboot the series along with fans (via gamestar). The game’s friends celebrated this.
But then Fortnite came in between.
Epic always has to consider its “Unreal Engine,” one of the most powerful engines on the market; here you see what should be possible in the future:
Start video
Unreal Engine 5.2: Next-Gen Graphics Tech Demo – State of Unreal 2023
Team from Unreal Tournament launched Fortnite: Battle Royale in just 2 months
Here’s how it really happened: Epic Games had launched a new super game in the summer of 2017 after many years: Fortnite – Save the World. The game was supposed to bring the new version of the Unreal Engine to the forefront in the summer slump of 2017; at least that was the plan:
During the day, players could collect loot, build fortifications, and set traps.
At night, they defended their fortifications against hordes of zombies.
A sort of “daytime Minecraft” – then at night “shooting like in Doom.”
But the game was so overloaded with microtransactions and grind that it only survived for a short time before it ran out of steam.
While Fortnite flopped, the battle royale shooter PUBG simultaneously blossomed in 2017. It was the biggest game on Steam, a massive gaming phenomenon.
PUBG was also equipped with the Unreal Engine, had many technical problems, but was played like crazy on PC. The concept of “everyone against everyone and whoever survives wins,” which people knew from the cinema, was exciting and entertaining.
It also made PUBG the first real big hit on Twitch.
Many players who later became stars on Twitch, like DrDisrespect, Ninja, or Fortnite, were playing PUBG at the time – albeit in front of fewer viewers than later.
This changed the fate of the gaming world: As far as we know from a developer conference, Epic Games told the team that had been working on Unreal Tournament until then to switch to Fortnite and build a “battle royale” mode there. The team put this battle royale mode together in just 2 months and apparently wanted to return to Unreal Tournament, but by then it was already too late.
The developers of PUBG were raging, but Fortnite became such a mega-success that Epic Games now sent all forces to Fortnite: Battle Royale to constantly keep adding content. To do this, they killed another hopeful project, the shooter Paragon, and also stopped the development of Unreal Tournament, as officially announced in December 2018 (via gamestar).
At that time, one could mostly hear the cries of distress from Paragon fans, who still accuse Epic Games of killing their game, which had so much potential, for Fortnite. But the fans of Unreal Tournament were also severely affected by Fortnite’s success.
Epic plans free reboot of Unreal Tournament but kills it
This was the next plan: After years of silence, there were two messages for Unreal Tournament in December 2022. Epic then took almost all Unreal games off the market (via pc gamer).
But at the same time, code hints in Steam were found in December 2022 that Epic Games was planning a game called “Unreal Tournament 3 x”:
The game was supposed to be a remaster of Unreal Tournament 3.
It was supposed to be completely free, without microtransactions and tricks.
It was supposed to be released on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG and allow crossplay.
This was a big glimmer of hope for the beleaguered fans – although the game was never officially announced, but had only appeared in the Steam code.

So it has gone now: In June 2023, another change was discovered in the Steam code: Apparently, Epic Games “secretly” killed the reboot of Unreal Tournament 3. The page was reverted to an earlier state.
Since Epic Games has practically delisted every Unreal game in 2022 and the glimmer of hope for a current Unreal Tournament 3 has also been extinguished, fans can no longer officially play their favorite franchise but are dependent on private servers.

The players are desperate and furious. Two culprits have quickly been found: Epic Games and their mega success Fortnite.
From the perspective of Unreal Tournament fans, Fortnite, which they actually don’t care about, has now killed their favorite games for the second time. Meanwhile, Unreal Tournament is actually the father and midwife of Fortnite.
Epic sacrificed many things for the success of Fortnite: Battle Royale:
Some NPCs in games are so annoying that you’d rather remove them from the scene. A player has done this in Skyrim – not just once. The NPC has already met his demise over 40 times.
Excluding The Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim is the latest installment in the popular role-playing series, even though it was released 12 years ago. It takes place in the province of “Skyrim”, known in German as “Himmelsrand”.
Start video
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Official Trailer
Who does the player kill in Skyrim? It is the NPC Nazeem, a Redguard in Skyrim. Nazeem lives in Whiterun in Himmelsrand.
His position at the Jarl’s court is said to have been “hard-earned”, which he likes to express at the market stalls where he hangs out during the day.
What is Nazeem all about? In the Elder Scrolls community, Nazeem has been considered a running gag for years. Many are annoyed by his arrogant and selfish demeanor.
For example, he says in a condescending tone: “Are you often in the Cloud District? Oh, what a question – of course you are not.” His wife Ahlam also speaks disparagingly about him, responding that one should best look “in the Jarl’s backside” when searching for Nazeem.
In an old Reddit thread, a user with a now-deleted account asks if someone could explain the Nazeem meme to him. In the comments, there are a few responses:
“He is a conceited idiot. That’s why we make fun of him.”
“There’s no need to explain this, just talk to him.”
“Nazeem is a pompous guy who likes to emphasize how powerful he is.”
Others refer to the well-known quote of the NPC and respond to the inquirer: “Are you often in the Cloud District?”, while another writes: “What are you talking about? Of course he is not.”
User Treppomann has his own way of dealing with the annoying NPC.
The murderous creativity knows no bounds
While some grind in games to reach level 100, Reddit user Treppomann has made it his mission to log into the game daily to take out the NPC Nazeem around the corner. And he has already done this over 40 times in the last two months.
What does Treppomann do with the NPC? Treppomann’s “Killing Nazeem” journey began on April 16 on Reddit. In a thread about the game Skyrim, he has so far (as of June 8) posted 44 video contributions showing how he kills Nazeem:

He stabs him with a sword, flings him over cliffs into the waters using abilities, lets him fight giants, kills him as a Minecraft character with bow and arrow or as a Jedi with a lightsaber. Treppomann brings numerous creative ideas and mods to get rid of the irritating NPC.
In one video, you can see how he kills Nazeem with a piece of cheese that he throws at his head using telekinesis:

The community encourages him: In the comments under his video contributions, there are numerous suggestions on how he could kill Nazeem, some of which he then implemented. Many users ask him about mods and commands that Treppomann clearly uses.
Others write that he should just kill him as often as possible until a new installment of The Elder Scrolls comes out. To this, Treppomann responds: “By then, I will already have 7 grandchildren, but okay, I will try to do this for as long as possible.”
Others prefer to use Skyrim mods to honor their deceased relatives:

In a gameplay video on YouTube, Norland (Steam) was introduced on June 7th, a new game that is set to start early access on Steam. It is a strategy game/city-builder that strongly resembles RimWorld but also has elements of Crusader Kings 3. The initial reactions to the gameplay are enthusiastic. A demo is set to be released on Steam on June 18th.
This is the situation around Norland:
Norland has been in development for quite a while. The first post about the game on Steam was published on January 25, 2022. The game was also presented in a trailer a year ago at the “PC Gaming Show”.
The game is now slowly entering a hot phase. A one-week playable demo will start on June 19th for the “Steam Next Fest”. An “Early Access” launch is also expected on Steam.
On June 7th, a gameplay overview was released on Norland’s YouTube channel. The game feels like “RimWorld in the Middle Ages,” and fans are excited.
Start video
Norland remembers the Steam hit Rimworld – but plays in the merciless Middle Ages
Wolf hunting, sex, and undead hordes – Everything a Steam hit needs
What kind of game is it?
Norland itself claims to be inspired by RimWorld, Crusader Kings, and Caesar. It is a “medieval kingdom simulation that produces complex stories”:
You create and lead a noble family and choose a province
With the noble family, you move into a city inhabited by numerous independent residents. They work, spend money, and wait for orders from their lords.
The social relationships between the noble figures will be important. Players can influence the relationships between the nobles with commands. In Norland, there will be conflicts, sex, wolf hunts, and duels.
One of the “complex relationships” in Norland.
It will be possible to raid neighbors, acquire knowledge, and further expand the city.
Additionally, one will be able to raise armies to defend against a global threat, the “Unholy Horde”.
Stories that emerge from the game, and the high “buzz” factor
What is the appeal of such games? RimWorld and Crusader Kings are games that allow for free play and continually create new, unpredictable stories that emerge from the game itself.
Players set their own goals for what they want to achieve, and must deal with unforeseen conflicts along the way, such as when game characters who are supposed to cooperate suddenly hate and wage war on each other, or when a famine or plague breaks out that needs to be managed quickly.
It’s a bit like building a sandcastle on the beach, but as soon as you look away for 2 seconds, a neighbor kid comes and kicks over 3 towers.
The games have a high “buzz” factor because, over time, there are more and more characters with special traits that continue to specialize and get better at individual tasks.
Games like Rimworld or Crusader Kings have an extremely high replay value and are therefore games in which people invest hundreds or thousands of hours.
What are the reactions? Under the YouTube video, the reactions to the gameplay overview are enthusiastic. The game apparently fully engages its target audience:
“The game looks unbelievably fantastic. Like a combination of RimWorld and Crusader Kings 3”
“It looks great. I hope it plays as well as it looks. The game could be a huge hit on Steam.”
“The RimWorld vibe immediately captivated me. Individual traits on the pawns make games sooo much more interesting.”
“Can’t wait to sink hundreds of hours of my life into it.”

The eSports community mourns the loss of Valorant professional Twisten (Vitality), who passed away on June 6 at the age of 19.
Who was Twisten? Karel “Twisten” Ašenbrener was a Czech eSports player in Riot’s shooter Valorant. At the age of 17, he joined the German organization BIG. Since November 2022, he played for the French team Vitality. He made his international debut with Vitality at the VCT LOCK//IN in São Paulo in February 2023.
Before the tournament, Twisten made headlines by announcing that he would donate €25 for every kill with the Shorty, a short, sawed-off shotgun. In total, he donated €1450 for the 58 Shorty frags at LOCK//IN. The money went to the animal welfare organization Hunderettung Europa.
Team Vitality discusses the importance of mental health
On June 7, Team Vitality announced the death of the young player on Twitter. The statement said that Twisten had passed away the previous night: “We are deeply saddened by this devastating loss.”
An official cause of death has not yet been announced. However, Team Vitality emphasizes the importance of mental health in eSports and in life.
If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts or are concerned about someone in your environment, you can contact the telephone counseling service at 116 123 at any time. The service is free, as is the chat counseling. You can find more support options on the homepage of the German Society for Suicide Prevention. You can find worldwide hotlines for suicide prevention here (via WhatsApp).
Twisten was late to the press conference after his team’s exit from LOCK//IN against Leviatán because he seriously struggled with the loss. The 19-year-old also admitted to suffering from depression for two years.
Harry “Gorilla” Mepham, assistant coach at Vitality, wrote on June 7 that he woke up to the news that one of his closest friends had taken his own life. He added that Twisten was like a brother to him. Words cannot describe the sorrow and emptiness he feels.

eSports professionals want to honor Twisten in a special way
Many people have already expressed their grief over Twisten’s death on Twitter, whether they are teammates and friends or fans. Vitality’s in-game leader Santeri “BONECOLD” Sassi called Twisten the “most genuine person I have ever met.”
Michał “MOLSI” Łącki said that they lost a “teammate, friend, and brother.” Tomas “Destrian” Linikas wrote that he was a “man with infinite potential, a crazy personality, and above all, the biggest heart that made people around him feel good.”
How others want to honor him: YouTuber and Valorant analyst “RyanCentral” suggested continuing Twisten’s donation campaign for Shorty kills at international events.
Streamer and former team coach of Team Liquid Connor “Sliggy” Blomfield responded to the suggestion by promising to donate €25 for each Shorty kill at the VCT Masters Tokyo and Champions 2023. Numerous other professionals followed suit.

Anthony “vanity” Malaspina from Shopify Rebellion also promised $25 for every Shorty frag at the tournaments. The money will go to a mental health non-profit organization.
Marco Mereu, CEO of M80, said his organization is participating, but he raised the amount to $100 for each Shorty kill. He also included the upcoming Ascension tournaments (via Twitter).
After numerous other eSports personalities announced their participation in the campaign, RyanCentral wrote on the morning of June 8 in our time that he is working on a website for the “Twisten Shorty Drive.” He hopes to be ready in time for the start of the Masters in Tokyo on June 11 (via Twitter).

The roadmap for Season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone is live. With “Vondel”, there is a new medium-sized map. You can find the complete roadmap for the battle royale here on MeinMMO.
On June 14, the new season of Call of Duty: Warzone goes live. Yes, “Warzone” – not “Warzone 2”. The name was recently changed, just like the logo of the “Call of Duty” franchise.
Meanwhile, the roadmap for Season 4 is online, and we present the content to you. The highlight is a new map for the battle royale.
You can view the roadmap here:
What does Season 4 bring? The biggest part definitely includes the new map. But there were also some announcements aside from that:
New Map “Vondel”
Dynamic Fog
New Rule “Revival”
Revenge Symbol
Adjustments and new DMZ faction
New Vehicle
New Events
Adjustments in Al-Mazrah
Mid-Season Outlook
What information is available on the individual points, we will outline here. You can also read the details on the English CoD blog (via callofduty.com).
What kind of map is this? Vondel is set in the Netherlands and is approximately between Al-Mazrah and Ashika Island in size, offering 15 points of interest – including a zoo, a football stadium, and a medieval castle.
At launch, Vondel will be live with the revival mode (72 players) and will come for the DMZ mode (18 players).
It is an urban map with many buildings, and at first glance, it seems like the exact opposite of Al-Mazrah. Here are a few images from the blog:
What about dynamic weather? For the first time in the history of Warzone, the weather is supposed to change during a match – parts of Vondel will then be in thick fog.
The focus is on the DMZ mode, and the fog can appear during an infiltration. However, the weather can also change in the other modes.
Enemies are supposed to still be easily recognizable in the fog at medium range. However, battles at great distances will become a challenge.
How is “Revival” changing? The popular mode is receiving “Dynamic Resurgence Teams” – a significant balance adjustment.
If a team member leaves the team or disconnects from the game, the revival timers for the remaining team are adjusted. You will return faster to compensate for the loss of the team member.
If the lost member returns, the timer resets to its normal value.
What happens in DMZ? All of your progress will be reset, similar to the start of Season 2. Earned cosmetics will be retained, but missions or also unlocked insurance slots for your weapons will disappear.
The mechanics will be adjusted, and you will get a new control center for your missions. There will also be a new faction, Phalanx Faction, urgent missions that are only briefly available, but also run only briefly, and further adjustments for the extraction mode.
What else is there to know? There are a few more innovations, such as the new vehicle “TAV” – an amphibious transporter – fresh in-match events, and a revenge icon. With the icon, you can directly recognize when an enemy is nearby who has already eliminated you in this match.
What happens in the Mid-Season? A few weeks after the start of Season 4, the Mid-Season brings further adjustments. This includes the new Gulag, but also the battle royale for the new map Vondel. In addition, another in-match event is expected to launch.
On Saturday, one of the best events of the last months will take place in Pokémon GO, but trainers in some regions are advised not to go outside. We have summarized the reasons for the restrictions and how the community is reacting here on MeinMMO.
What event is it about? On Saturday, June 10, 2023, the Community Day will take place in Pokémon GO. This is a monthly event series where a specific, predetermined monster is highlighted. It will spawn seemingly everywhere in the wild, and its shiny chances are noticeably increased. For the Community Day in June, it will be Milza.
However, as it currently stands, this event may not be available to all trainers as usual, because in some regions of the USA and Canada, people should preferably not leave their homes. We have summarized what is happening there and how the trainers are reacting below.
Wildfires in Canada have US trainers worrying about C-Day
Why are trainers advised to stay home? Currently, people in Canada are battling severe wildfires, and the smoke has now spread across the USA, enveloping large parts of the East Coast in an orange, toxic haze. Major cities like New York are also affected.
To avoid health repercussions, the responsible authorities are currently advising people in Canada and in areas of the USA affected by smoke to preferably stay indoors, use air purifiers, and wear special masks when in doubt. As stated on the homepage of the city of New York:
Reduce your smoke exposure. Stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed. If you must be outdoors, wear an N95 mask. Be aware of changing smoke conditions. Use an air purifier if available.
Smoke warning from New York City on June 8, 2023 via nyc.gov
What does this have to do with Pokémon GO? The affected trainers currently see the situation as a real problem. After all, an interesting Community Day is coming back to Pokémon GO after a long time, and the game is designed for exploring the surrounding area. However, playing seems unimaginable for them right now, as the Reddit user Moon_Dark_Wolf explains in his post.

Here he shares his impressions of the current circumstances and hopes for a solution from the developers of Pokémon GO regarding the situation. He writes:
Hello, dear East Coast residents of America and Canada,
I don’t know if anyone is aware of the fact that a large part of the East Coast of America, especially in the north but also in the south, is currently affected by Canadian wildfires. New York City, where a good friend of mine lives, is currently orange due to all the smoke and carbon and has reached an air quality index of 480/500. In other words: New Yorkers probably shouldn’t be outside right now. Some experts go so far as to say that taking a few breaths of the air could be equivalent to smoking half a pack of cigars.
The current conditions are not expected to be permanent, but given the collateral damage that wildfires have caused so far, the situation will likely not ease by the Milza Community Day.
Moon_Dark_Wolf further explains that he hopes for a solution from the developers of Pokémon GO to address such situations. Especially for a Community Day with Milza, which he believes is highly desired by many players, such natural disasters should be taken into account.
Why is the Community Day so important? The Community Day featuring Milza is currently very popular among trainers, as this finally presents a strong event in Pokémon GO after weeks. This is mainly because this small monster is a dragon-type Pokémon.
It is usually hard to get and also has a strong evolution in Maxax, which is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. The Community Day is, therefore, perfectly suited to secure a strong specimen as well as the corresponding candies. And for shiny hunters, this is the optimal opportunity to acquire a sparkling Milza.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the affected trainers are upset about the current situation. Although one can generally play from home with lure modules, the yield is ultimately significantly lower than when one is out and about.
We will show you more strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:

Trainers find: “Why should they adjust a global event?”
Little support from other trainers: Surprisingly, Moon_Dark_Wolf receives relatively little support for his post from the community. The East Coast of America is not the only region that continually struggles with smoke from wildfires or air pollution.
Even in other countries and states in the USA, this is a significant topic year after year, but even here the developers do not take any consideration during global events like Community Days. Therefore, many see no reason for it to be any different due to the current wildfires in Canada. As one can read in the comments (via reddit.com):
BenPliskin: “In California, wildfires happen every year, and the smoke can be quite severe. They have never adjusted the C-Days. I would definitely recommend finding an indoor area where you can lure in the Pokémon.”
ChikaraNZ: “Why should they adjust a global event for a small geographical area in the world?”
MBThree: “True. Wildfire smoke is terrible. But if Niantic didn’t make any changes when their own headquarters was shrouded in smoke, you can be sure they won’t make changes for other areas of the globe that are undergoing the same thing.”
Competitive-Weight55: “I don’t know what to tell you, but Seoul doesn’t lack for days with poor air (which occasionally compete with those numbers). It’s bad, but get yourself a decent mask, find a good covered spot to play, and make smart decisions.”
Trainers warn: “Don’t risk your health for a game”
Other players strongly advise Moon_Dark_Wolf and other affected trainers against exposing themselves to such danger for a Community Day. They therefore recommend playing indoors, using lure modules, and farming more Milza for the Community Day in December, when all C-Day Pokémon of the year will typically appear again (via reddit.com):
gohanmahesh: “Please don’t risk your health for a game, Milza will return to the community in December.”
Eichmil: “Yes, it’s Pokémon GO, not ‘Pokémon Suffocate-and-Die’. The game is not worth your health, and certainly, the monster is not worth your health.”
TheOBRobot: “3 tips from a Californian player who has played through wildfires: Playing outside is not worth it. If you think your lungs are fine now, they won’t be. Look for a place to play indoors in advance. Malls are ideal for that. If you’re crazy and insist on playing outside, get a KN95 mask (or better yet an N95), safety goggles, and a wide-brimmed hat. However, it won’t be pleasant.”
nicubunu: “The world is huge and in other parts of the world it’s much worse, with wars and bombings. Should Niantic stop this game until the world reaches Utopia? It’s a game, just play it when it’s safe to do so.”
What is your opinion on the upcoming Community Day with Milza? Would you also find it reasonable for Niantic to provide solutions for such situations? Or do you also feel that it is unjustified to make changes for a small region? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers numerous ways to approach opponents in combat. Thanks to the synthesis ability, it is possible to attach almost all items to weapons and shields. In a video, we now see that the Dazzlefruit is a particularly useful specimen.
What can the Dazzlefruit do? The name says it all: When the Dazzlefruit is thrown to the ground, it shoots light beams. The emitted beams blind nearby opponents, rendering them immobile for a short time.
This gives players valuable seconds to attack the opponent or escape. However, the item does not work on opponents that have no eyes – for example, the opponents disguised as trees in Hyrule.
The trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom shows what else awaits you in the game:

At the end of his sword, he has attached a Dazzlefruit with the help of the synthesis ability. When he hits a skeleton bokoblin, it immediately crumbles to dust. The strike triggers a blinding light, causing all skeleton opponents in the vicinity to be instantly killed.

In the comments, other Zelda players write about the benefits they could draw from the fruit. User radforblue writes, for example, that the fruit is particularly effective against the Miasma Hands. These are strong opponents that appear in miasma puddles and can suddenly attack Link anywhere in Hyrule.
The Miasma Hands grab Link and hold him in a chokehold until he can free himself, permanently deducting hearts from him. But with the Dazzlefruit, the Miasma Hands can be blinded to gain valuable seconds for the battle.
Warning, Spoiler: In the following two paragraphs, there are spoilers about a boss fight from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
A special tip comes from user Sithina: The Dazzlefruit is particularly effective against the Gibdos and their queen in the desert region. The weak Gibdos are instantly killed with the Dazzlefruit. Their queen, whom we face in a boss fight, automatically becomes a skeleton and falls to the ground.
Actually, the Gibdo queen must touch a light beam during the boss fight to land on the ground. But thanks to the fruit, she can be brought down from the air at any time and then attacked, which makes the boss fight immensely easier.
Where can I collect the fruit? The Dazzlefruit grows on the Sky Islands. So either teleport to a shrine in the sky region or launch yourself into the sky from a lookout tower to collect the fruits.
A 13-year-old girl in China has spent €60,000 on mobile games within four months. Her parents only became aware when a teacher called and pointed out that their daughter might be addicted to mobile games. She is constantly on her phone.
How could the girl spend so much money? As reported by a local Chinese television station, the girl had found her mother’s debit card and linked it to her smartphone.
She said she knew her mother’s password – the mother had told the teenager in case she needed money when her parents were not around.
How did this come out? A teacher from the school in Henan that the girl attends called the mother and told her she suspected that the 13-year-old might be addicted to mobile games, as she spends a lot of time on her phone at school.
The mother then checked her own account: There were only 0.5 Yuan left, about 6 Euro cents.

What did she spend so much money on? The father confronted the girl about the missing money. The girl admitted she had:
Spent $15,900 buying mobile games
Spent $27,500 on in-game purchases in mobile games
Additionally, she had given several thousand dollars to 10 classmates so they could buy games
When they asked me to pay for their games, I did, even though I hesitated at first. But if I hadn’t given them the money, then they would have annoyed me all day. I was afraid that if I told my teacher, she would tell my parents and they would be angry with me.
The girl says she doesn’t know much about money or where it comes from, but she apparently knew how to cover her tracks. She was able to delete the bills and other evidence of her purchases, thus keeping it a secret from her parents.
The story went viral on social media in China. The mother is distraught (via douyin.com)
What games did she play? In the video report about the case, father, mother, and child are interviewed. The bills are visible and briefly a game is also shown.
What happens next? As reported by South China Morning Post, the mother has since tried to reclaim the money from various payment companies, but it is said she has been unsuccessful in getting the money back in full.
According to South China Morning Post, many people on social media have little understanding of the girl. They point out that she must have known she was doing something wrong when she deleted the evidence of her actions. Others blame the parents.
In China, there are actually clear rules intended to prevent teenagers from spending so much time on mobile games:
Destiny 2 will bring more free endgame content in the form of a legacy raid in the upcoming Season 22. Five old raids are currently not in the game, and the Guardians have already made their clear favorites. However, a leak further narrows down the candidates.
Which legacy raid will it be? Destiny 2 is supplied with endgame content by Bungie every three months. However, this does not always mean new content.
For each DLC year, a new raid and two new paid dungeons enter the game.
But also a legacy raid returns from the content that Bungie has banished from Destiny 2 into the content vault or that even originates from Destiny 1.
The old content was no longer playable for a long time, and a legendary raid, in which we died countless times, is now just around the corner for its return in August 2023.
Excitement among the Guardians is therefore palpable. Moreover, it awakens in them memories of past epic battles and long gaming nights.
However, a leaker has now dampened this excitement by excluding two of the five raids. We will tell you which ones they are.
The current raid in Destiny 2 “Lightfall” is “Root of Nightmares”
5 Candidates and 2 Big Hopes
Which raids are in the running? As Bungie retrieves more content from the vault, the number of raids that are still in contention decreases. Currently, there are only five candidates that are possible for a return.
We will tell you which ones they are.
Wrath of the Machine

Destiny – Raid “Wrath of the Machine” – Trailer
Wrath of the Machine (engl. Wrath of the Machine) is an old raid from Destiny that made its debut with the expansion “The Rise of Iron” on September 23, 2016. At that time, the Guardians had a meager light level of 370 to enter the raid.
There were SIVA infections, and in the end stood “Aksis”, an Archon Primus as the raid boss. Many Guardians still have good memories of the hard mode and the mechanics of this raid.
Probability of Return: This raid is a top favorite for many players to make a comeback. It would expand the Cosmodrome and is also linked to the splicer technology of Mitrax. Bungie has also announced that they will develop a new exotic weapon for the legacy raids, which is already included in Destiny 2. This could be the pulse rifle “Perfected Outbreak”. Therefore, this raid is considered a favorite for a comeback in 2023.
Crota’s End

Destiny : “Crota’s End” – The raid from the expansion “Darkness Awaits”
Crota’s End (engl. Crota’s End) is a raid from Destiny that was introduced with the expansion “Darkness Rising” on December 9, 2014. As a team, you had to penetrate into the deepest pit of the Hellmouth and infiltrate Crota’s realm. Although he initially seemed invincible, Crota’s own power – the soul-draining strength of the Ascendant Swords – could be used against him in the end.
Some Guardians especially associate the then craftable exo-weapon “Necrochasm” with this raid. It was only obtainable with great effort at that time.
Probability of Return: The raid is quite small. It would have been more suited as a dungeon, but Bungie has already ruled that out. However, the chances are quite good that this raid will make a return. On the other hand, recently an old Hive raid returned to Destiny 2 with “King’s Fall”. However, we don’t see this option as too far off, because after all, Crota is Oryx’s son and thus very close to his aunts Xivu Arath and Savathun. Therefore, a return of this raid would be plausible for Bungie.
Leviathan
Calus did not hold back: The Leviathan raid was opulent and golden
The Leviathan raid was available in Destiny 2 and was released on September 13, 2017. The Guardians had to make their way through the then still intact, golden flagship of the banished Emperor Calus and navigate through his not-so-small engine room. Moreover, the mechanics were challenging, as Calus had the Guardians hopping like performers in a circus for his amusement and strolling in his garden with the court dogs.
Through the quest “Destroyer of Worlds”, players could also earn the exo-shotgun “Legend of Acrius”. It was polished up a bit by Bungie in Season 21.
Probability of Return: If this raid were to return, it would be a huge deal. Bungie has also already revised some sections of the Leviathan for the “Season of the Haunted”. The path to bringing back all content might be a bit shorter now. Furthermore, the Leviathan weapons and armor can now only be found among veterans in their collections. Therefore, the chances are quite good that Calus will become a raid legacy and that the Guardians will see the Leviathan again. The raid was also pleasantly long, with a grand setting, and thus not unpopular.
Crown of Sorrow
In the raid “Crown of Sorrow”, Guardians meet the bearer of sorrow
The second raid on the Leviathan was “Crown of Sorrow”. It was opened on June 4, 2019, and disappeared back into the content vault on November 10, 2020. Calus then called for the Guardians’ help, as his experiments with the crown and a lingering Hive invasion were a threat he could not handle on his own.
Thus, the Guardians discovered “Gahlran”, the bearer of sorrow. He was driven insane by the Crown of Sorrow and thus went out of control. This raid also features the exotic “Tarrabah”, which players can now purchase at the “Memorial of Lost Lights”.
Probability of Return: Quite decent. The content would connect to content familiar to new players and it wouldn’t be the very well-known Leviathan raid. Additionally, this raid was not in the game for long. Almost all of its weapons and armor – except for the exo-weapon – have been almost forgotten. Therefore plausible but not as close as other options.
Scourge of the Past

Anyone who has ever wanted to flee on their Sparrow in front of a burning giant Servitor was right in this raid. “Scourge of the Past” was brought to the game with the “Season of the Forge” on December 7, 2018. In the raid, one discovered the lost vault from the Black Armory and had to face a gigantic fallen robot with matching mechanics at the end.
The exotic from the raid was the “Anarchy”, an exotic grenade launcher whose best days are now behind it.
Probability of Return: For many Guardians, this is, alongside the raid “Wrath of the Machine”, the most logical return for the legacy raid. The best and biggest pro-argument for this raid are, of course, the tanks! But beyond that, Bungie has held off on reintroducing weapons from the Black Armory for too long. This could indicate that they are perhaps planning for “The Final Shape”. After all, that would be very fitting. The only question is whether this will happen in the upcoming Season 22.
These are the top favorites of the Guardians: From these five candidates, two favorites have emerged among the Guardians. One is “Wrath of the Machine” and the raid “Scourge of the Past”.
When the “Season of Depth” was released, it also turned out that Bungie had made some updates for the raid “Scourge of the Past” in the API, among other things. This fueled speculation that the Black Armory might actually be next.
The raids have already been excluded by a leak
According to a now-known leak, however, two of the five raids have already been excluded from returning. However, we only embed the leak as a spoiler so that you can decide for yourself if you want to know which two raids they are. And take it, as always, with a grain of salt.
Click here to see which raids the leak has excluded
According to the reliable Destiny leaker “Liz”, neither the raid “Wrath of the Machine” from the first Destiny era nor the raid “Scourge of the Past” will return in Season 22.
The news hit parts of the community hard and slightly dampened the excitement. However, despite the disappointment, there is still hope for the Guardians. After all, the leak also suggests that it could thus be one of the other raids from the content vault.
When will the legacy raid come to the game? The returning raid will be free for all players and will come with Season 22. So in September 2023. Until then, the Guardians will have to be patient.
No matter which one it will be: Each of the five candidates awakens old memories in seasoned Guardians and will also provide new players with fresh experiences as well as more free endgame content.
We will keep you updated as soon as more information about the next legacy raid in Destiny 2 is made available.
Were you surprised by the exclusion of the two top favorites by the raid leak? And what do you think, which raid will return in the upcoming Season 22 of Destiny 2? Feel free to share your personal tip in the comments.
