Those who enjoyed the anime Avatar – The Last Airbender know the power fantasy surrounding elemental powers. The God Slayer takes this idea now on the PS5 and shows in the trailer how well it works.
What kind of game is this? The new “The God Slayer” is an action RPG for PS5 and Steam, which stands out primarily due to its similarity to the anime “Avatar – The Last Airbender”, even though it is not a direct offshoot.
In a steampunk-inspired world, you play as a character whom many would describe as “Zuko” from the anime, likely due to his appearance. The enemies use standard melee weapons but also drive cars into battle.
However, your character uses the elements in combat instead of an axe.
Here you can see the trailer for “The God Slayer”:

The Last Airbender
What can your character do? The gameplay trailer already gives a good impression of your character’s abilities. The player has the ability to control all elements and thus attack enemies with fire, water, earth, and wind.
Skills from martial arts Tai Chi and Kung Fu are executed with flaming hands or enemies can be covered in ice. As a player, you can also make use of the elements of the game world. In the video, you can see how the character, for example, utilizes water from a water tower.
Of course, combining elements is also an important topic. You can shatter enemies with a summoned boulder after freezing them.
How is the trailer received? In just 20 hours, nearly 500,000 viewers have seen the trailer on YouTube. Many feel transported back to their childhood and clearly recognize the parallels to Avatar – The Last Airbender. Accordingly, the comments under the video are also quite joyful:
@Lazypadawan-j9m: “So basically, the ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ game we’ve always wanted.”
@Wolf10media: “Zuko and Uncle Iroh go on an adventure.”
@IMHymn-zx3bj says on YouTube: “Finally, Zuko is in the spotlight.”
@madestro: “So they made Zuko the Avatar, cool.”
Many fans are thrilled to get a game that at least looks like it’s from the Avatar anime, as they have long been waiting in vain for a title that is as good as the anime itself.
A YouTuber tested how long an OLED monitor lasts in daily use. After 21 months, he concludes that the damage is not as bad as feared.
The YouTube channel Monitors Unboxed wanted to find out how long an OLED monitor lasts in daily use. Two years ago, he started the test with an MSI monitor, using the model mainly for work and static desktop applications.
After more than 5,000 hours, he is surprised that the model is still surprisingly usable. The problems have only increased to a limited extent.

After 5,000 hours, brightness decreases, the monitor remains fully usable.
What exactly did the YouTuber do? Tim from the YouTube channel Monitors Unboxed explained that he has been using the monitor for almost 2 years (21 months) for about 60 hours per week at a brightness of 200 Nits. That’s a little over 5,000 hours.
He consciously chose to perform a burn-in test by keeping the taskbar activated and also set the monitor to enter sleep mode only after 2 hours of inactivity. This way, he aimed to put additional stress on the display.
What is Burn-In? Burn-In refers to a permanent damage on screens caused by prolonged display of static content, which can occur on self-emitting panels like OLEDs. The static content is often still recognizable even when the content is changed.

What did he find out after 21 months? The YouTuber noticed a slight, measurable decrease in brightness of about 2%, which is practically not visible in daily use. Furthermore, the burn-in defects have only slightly increased. A vertical line is visible in the middle, a visible burn-in zone at the level of the taskbar, and a slight change in color uniformity. Overall, the difference is relatively small. The most significant changes occurred in the first 3 months.
What does the test indicate? For the average user, the YouTuber’s test is initially good news. Because even if someone uses an OLED monitor daily for several hours, damages such as burn-in are only partially recognizable. Most users are therefore unlikely to notice any deterioration in their OLED display in daily use.
And Tim from Monitors Unboxed, who deliberately operated his display for 5,000 hours under incorrect settings, additionally claims that the monitor still provides an acceptable level of daily performance, so that burn-in is only noticeable in certain situations.
For comparison: The lifespan of OLED displays is usually stated to be between 30,000 to 100,000 operating hours. This corresponds to about 7 to 10 years of use on a daily basis.
It only took a day since the release of the DLC for Elden Ring: Nightreign for players to catch one of the two new characters in a strange activity. Now the community does not know whether to be disturbed or excited.
What is the Nun caught doing? Since the new Nightfarer, the Gravedigger, was announced, not only her build of strength and faith has brought joy, but she also gained a lot of fans through her design. However, a day after the release of the new DLC that introduced the Gravedigger and the Scholar to the game, players stumbled upon a scene that made them briefly question this excitement – but only briefly.

They discover the Gravedigger leaning against a wall where there is an indefinable glowing spot. Her posture and the sounds heard during the situation suggest that she is indeed licking the wall.
The sight is so absurd that players do not initially understand what strange hobby they have walked into, but players point out: “With context, it’s not really much better” (Additional_Law_492 on Reddit).
Here you can see the trailer of the Gravedigger, who seems to enjoy licking walls in her free time:
Start video

Behind apparent fan service lies a desire for power
Why is the Gravedigger licking the wall? Before she leans against the wall to lick it, she actually breaks the wall open to release the glowing energy, which she ultimately consumes directly from its source – albeit in a hunched position. She does this for reasons that become clear in her Remembrance quest, or Echo as it is called, if you read the notes attentively:
As I grew older, I learned that my body needed a constant flow of energy to function. Once I tried to resist it, but the trembling and pain became unbearable. When the delirium peaked, I had bitten my own arm without realizing it.
[…]
The power of the night spreads across the land. To me, it is both a blessing and a curse. Its taste is bitter and makes me sick. Yet somehow it calms my constantly agitated mind.
[…]
As I wiped the stains of the night from my mouth, I began to think. Was I trying to atone for my sins? I cannot say for sure.
– Notes from the Gravedigger’s Journal
From the notes, the background of the Gravedigger becomes a little clearer: She is plagued by a constant hunger, for power or some kind of energy. Everyone around her has known this and therefore kept their distance from her throughout her life. If she does not give in to the hunger, she goes insane and begins to hallucinate. In an attempt to delay this state of madness for as long as possible, she even bit herself. One of those moments of weakness is eventually the scene where she breaks the wall to slurp up the energy she felt behind the stones.
What is the community’s reaction? While the scene of the Gravedigger is making rounds on the internet, even this absurd scene could generate a lot of enthusiasm, as can be seen from the reactions on Reddit:
“I heard the slurping sounds in my headphones and thought only: What the hell is THAT?”, writes ArkanaRising, “I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s certainly not this creepy freak (meant lovingly) licking the wall.”
“God forbid a girl enjoys eating walls,” writes Ok-Cartographer727 in defense.
“This convinced me more about the DLC than any gameplay trailer ever could,” admits Colonel_dinggus.
And vortex_nebula has a theory of his own: “Iron deficiency.”
The developers of Path of Exile 2 have actually fulfilled the biggest fan wish with the announcement of adding the Druid as the next class to the game. However, they still express disappointment.
Why is there celebration? For a long time, the community of Path of Exile 2 has had a favorite when it comes to wishing for a new class in the game. Fans already wished for the new class in March. This refers to the Druid, who can fight both as a human and as a beast and can always switch between forms as a shapeshifter.
Thus, the class has not only the typical human form but also three additional forms available. In bear form, players perform strong attacks and can trample over enemies. In wolf form, players can execute quick attacks together with their own pack, freezing enemies as well. Things get fiery in wyvern form, where they can scorch opponents with dragon breath.
The class was introduced by the head of Path of Exile 2 at Gamescom in the summer of 2023, immediately generating great hype, even though it was not yet ready for release at that time. More than two years later, the players’ dream will indeed come true in the expansion “The Last of the Druids” on December 12, 2025, bringing joy to the fans.
Here you can see the trailer for the new class:

The question of endgame
What about the endgame? While the new Druid class is clearly set to be the highlight of the upcoming season, there is also a season mechanic where players can craft their own temples. Following the motto “Craft your Dungeon,” players can assemble different rooms and battle increasingly tough enemies.
This appeals to many players who have been looking forward to the new class and its animal forms, finding the new season mechanic interesting. However, those who are not interested in these two major innovations are mainly looking at the endgame.
In the endgame, there are few new features. The developers are only adding the previous season mechanic as a card type and making some balance changes to make underutilized items more attractive. The fog that obscured too much of the map and the enemy group size in the endgame have also been adjusted.
However, a major overhaul of the endgame is absent. This is something some players had hoped for, leading to a discussion among fans.
What are the players saying? A lively discussion among fans is currently raging on Reddit. Two factions have formed in this discussion. The majority are very excited about the new class and the exciting season mechanic. The other group finds it less exciting and looks at the endgame, which is receiving little new content this time. On Reddit, it sounds like this:
IndridColdxxx: “I am very excited, but others have legitimate doubts, as changes to the endgame were promised. Otherwise, I can hardly wait.”
ryo3000: “I’m hyped for the release because the Druid looks cool, but I completely understand why people are disappointed with 0.4. This was supposed to be the patch for endgame content, but it’s not. Even though the ‘Dead Game’ cries are exaggerated, I understand the frustration; I honestly expected more.”
Yorunokage: “I am neither angry nor disappointed, but I believe that prioritizing the endgame overhaul over this huge league would have been better. I like such leagues, but the timing may not have been optimal, as the endgame urgently needs a revamp.”
quizglo: “People hold GGG to higher standards because they release such blockbusters quarterly that our expectations have collectively risen. If the endgame is only revamped in 3 or 6 months instead of now, it’s not the end of the world for a game that I will continue to play for another 10 years.”
In the past, the developers have repeatedly postponed expected updates because they struggled with the quarterly update cycle. Therefore, the Druid arrived a season later than planned, as they rebalanced all skills with the previous patch.
So it is hardly surprising that the developers did not manage to introduce a new season mechanic, a class with many different skills, and four different forms, along with a major endgame change simultaneously. After all, only 3 months have passed since the last patch. The Druid also came a season later than planned, as they rebalanced all skills with the previous patch.
For 20 years, fans of Total War have been waiting for a new game set in the Middle Ages. In conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the franchise, the announcement has finally been made. However, the initial excitement quickly gave way to disappointment.
What exactly was announced? The big dream of many Total War fans has come true: Total War: Medieval 3 is coming. This was announced by developer Creative Assembly during their Total War – 25th Anniversary Showcase.
The showcase began with new information about Total War: Warhammer 3 – perhaps a bit too much, it seemed. Fans of historical Total War games were getting quite impatient. “Enough with Warhammer, show us the new historical game already!” was often heard in the live chat on Twitch and YouTube.
The great hope of many fans? Total War: Medieval 3, a sequel to Medieval 2, which was released in 2005. This game is considered one of the best Total War games among fans (alongside Shogun 2). The game was officially announced with a live-action trailer:

From anticipation to disappointment
How is the community reacting? The initial joy over the announcement quickly turned to disappointment for several reasons:
According to CA, Medieval 3 is currently in “early pre-production.” The title is thus still in a very early stage of development. It may take several years before Medieval 3 is released.
On Reddit, players are already sharing some memes about it:

“It was supposed to be released next year, but the development team was betrayed by Milan,” jokes Narradisall in a Reddit post about the trailer – a reference to Milan being a faction in Medieval 2 that would betray players at the most inconvenient times.
However, not everyone is taking the long wait with humor:
“Releasing a teaser while still in pre-production is crazy. I don’t want to know about games that won’t be out until 2030+,” says EgoNotFounded on Reddit
“What the hell has the historical team been doing since 2019? [Note: The release year of Total War: Three Kingdoms] The next big historical game shouldn’t be in pre-production in December 2025, for crying out loud,” writes EcureuilHargneux on Reddit.
Others rightly question whether there is actually such a thing as a “historical team” at CA, or if that’s a simplified portrayal by the fans. The last historical Total War was released in 2023 with Total War Pharaoh, which was not developed by the British studio in Horsham but in Sofia.
Why exactly Medieval 3 is still in the starting blocks is a question that is very much concerning fans – to which there is currently no answer.
You can watch the entire showcase here, Total War: Medieval 3 is discussed around minute 41:

It has also caused disappointment that CA has only been able to show limited initial ideas and concept art. Many fans feel that the developers currently have only “an idea for Medieval 3.” This is less than what fans hoped for following the hype surrounding the Anniversary Showcase.
Is the mood bad for everyone? There are still fans fighting against the negative sentiment within the community. “I kind of feel bad for the developer who was excited to share the news,” writes OVO_ZORRO on Reddit, along with a meme that criticizes the behavior of the community.

At least it has been confirmed that Medieval 3 will use a new engine – something fans have been requesting for years. The new Warcore engine was briefly presented during the showcase, along with the improvements it is expected to bring. The new engine is said to even allow the game to be brought to consoles.
Additionally, Creative Assembly appears to be choosing an approach similar to what Paradox used with Europa Universalis 5. Through regular dev blogs, fans will be kept informed and much more involved in the development process.
Overall, the announcement of Total War: Medieval 3 evokes mixed feelings. On the one hand, there is great joy that Creative Assembly is returning to the Middle Ages after 20 years. On the other hand, the long wait and lack of concrete information are causing frustration.
Dragon Ball has been on a longer break since the Anime Daima. But the break might soon be interrupted with a new film.
What has been announced? Kazuhiko Torishima is a legendary editor of the Dragon Ball manga. He reveals during a conversation about illustrations in Dragon Ball stores in a side comment that a new film for Dragon Ball is supposed to be released soon. However, none of the conversation partners follow up on this sentence later in the discussion, leaving it completely isolated.
The fact that no one follows up on it suggests that the participants actually want to talk about a different topic – and the sentence falls outside the themes of the show.
It should likely not be an official announcement but rather a sarcastic remark aimed at the management. The focus of this conversation is on the talent of the artists, not on the mentioned release year of the potential film.
Where was the announcement made? On the Japanese YouTube channel Yūbō to Mashirito no KosoKoso Hōsōkyoku, Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, and Kazuhiko Torishima talk about what was happening behind the scenes in the manga and video game industry in the 80s and 90s.
In the current episode, Torishima mentions that only talented artists should be paid for the illustrations in Dragon Ball that one can see on walls in stores, for example. Only those who are truly good at their job should be rewarded.
You can see this part from 1:30:00, but the video is in Japanese:

In his time, he would have only chosen talented artists and given them work. However, that is not the case currently, and Toei Animation, the creators of the Dragon Ball anime, do not value their artists.
Suddenly, Torishima builds a bridge and jokes that one shouldn’t expect much from the next Dragon Ball film. His conversation partner returns to the shops and says she would see Nakatsuru as the main artist. The two do not mention the film any further afterwards.

Next Dragon Ball Film in just a few months
When is it supposed to be released? Torishima mentions “next year”. The film is expected to be released sometime in 2026.
Already in 2024, there was a statement that according to Toei Animation’s financial report, two new anime films are in the works, which are supposed to be released in the fiscal year 2026 (as seen on Screen Rant). Therefore, one of the two films could be Dragon Ball and might be released by March 2026 – provided there are no internal delays.
One way or another, a Dragon Ball film is expected to be released next year.
What could it be about? Currently, rumors are circulating that the upcoming film will focus on Vegeta’s past (as seen on X). The proud prince of the Saiyans was considered a prodigy, and his father, King Vegeta, had high hopes for his son.
However, Planet Vegeta was destroyed, and the Saiyan prince could only survive by serving Frieza, the destroyer of his home planet.
However, keep in mind that this is just a rumor. What will be in the next film might be revealed during the event “Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri” taking place on January 25, 2026, in Japan.
The Stream Awards 2025 took place on December 4, 2025, on Twitch. The organizer Reved was initially just a spectator, but at the very end, she took to the stage again – hinting at a possible comeback for the coming year.
The announcement came a week before she was to moderate her big Twitch event, the Stream Awards. But Reved said that in her current condition, she could not stand on stage with a good mood.
A year later, the now 25-year-old returns to the stage, and one sentence sends her fans into a frenzy.

“Happy to see you again” – Announcement brings applause
What exactly did Reved announce? After the streamer already caused excitement with her mere presence as a guest at the event, she took to the stage of the Stream Awards again at the very end of the event, thanked everyone, and hinted at a possible comeback:
“I am looking forward to seeing you not only at the awards next year but also with my own content on Twitch.” With these words, Reved concluded her speech. When and to what extent the streamer will return to Twitch is still unknown, but the news has caused excitement.
This is how the news is received: Reved’s announcement already caused a lot of applause from the audience on site, as well as a chat full of hearts and comments like “Comeback” or “Finally.”
In social media, the news does not seem to be widely circulated yet. On X, there are several clips of Reved that were taken a bit earlier in the evening. Seeing the streamer back in front of the camera, even if just as a guest, already made some fans’ hearts race (Source: X).
Accordingly, the joy is naturally great to perhaps see her regularly again soon. One fan writes on X: “I am just grinning, this is simply such great news. She has just been missed.”
In the long absence of Reved, the German streaming landscape has changed quite a bit. Which streamers currently lead the German Twitch can be found here on MeinMMO in our list of the biggest German streamers in December 2025.

In Dawn of War 4, fans of the Space Marines will not only be able to play the well-known chapter of the Blood Ravens. This is shown in a new story trailer, which incidentally also features the strongest Primarch from Warhammer 40,000. You will even get to play him yourself.
What kind of game is this? Dawn of War 4 is the sequel to the strategy games by Relic Entertainment. However, the new game is no longer being developed by Relic, but by KING Art – a German development studio.
A new story trailer for Dawn of War 4 shows that fans can expect another chapter of the Space Marines. Alongside the Blood Angels, whom players have known since the first installment, the Dark Angels are also entering the fray this time. And alongside their Primarch.
You can see the trailer here:
Start video
Suddenly, the strongest Primarch from Warhammer 40,000 appears in the new story trailer for Dawn of War 4
Dawn of War 4 brings the strongest Primarch into the game
Who is this Primarch? He is Lion El’Johnson – one of the first Space Marines ever and Primarch of the Dark Angels. The super-soldiers of this chapter were created directly from his “gene-seed” – the Dark Angels are thus somewhat like Lion El’Johnson’s “sons”.
The Lion, as he is also called in reference to his name, can be easily recognized by his shield. This shield once belonged to the Emperor himself.
In a blog article on warhammer-community.com (in English), there is more information. It states that, as part of the campaign, you will get to play both the Blood Ravens and the Dark Angels themselves. The latter are led by Company Master Astoran and Chaplain Ezrael.
Can we play the Primarch ourselves? According to an interview conducted with Game Director Jan Theysen by IGN, you will actually get to play the mighty Primarch yourself towards the end of the campaign. This would be the first time that there is a playable Primarch in a Warhammer 40,000 game.
Since the Primarchs themselves are very powerful compared to the superhumanly strong Space Marines, depicting one of them properly will be quite a challenge. The developers solved this problem simply by not “caring about balance”.
This disregard for balancing likely also means that the Primarch will only be playable in the campaign. He would be far too powerful for skirmish battles.
League of Legends is entering a new year and another season. In a dev update, the developers have already revealed what to expect – and Twitch streamer Tolkin is particularly excited.
What is the forgotten role in LoL? In a new YouTube video, Tolkin talked about some changes for the new season of League of Legends. When it came to adjustments for the various roles, the Twitch streamer mentioned that the top lane has received little love from the developers for the past 5 years.
What is changing for the top lane in the first season of 2026? Generally, each role will receive a quest for the new season. This quest will unlock new buffs. In the case of the top lane, this buff grants an increased maximum level and generally more experience.
Furthermore, the top laner receives the summoner spell Teleport for free, allowing you to teleport to allied buildings or wards. If you has already equipped it manually, it will be enhanced with a large barrier when teleporting.

Tolkin is particularly excited about a new feature
What new feature excites Tolkin so much? Even before the developers of LoL spoke about the exact rewards for the role quest, Tolkin mentioned that he had been screaming for a free teleport for years. Just a few seconds later, his long-standing wish was fulfilled by the developers, and Tolkin was additionally surprised by the increased maximum level.
According to him, there was a meeting in which the additional experience was discussed. However, he knew nothing about the other changes. Accordingly, he was quite surprised.
Why has Tolkin wanted an additional teleport for years? The developers address the two roles of top lane and ADC, explaining that both roles are too weak. Tolkin agrees and believes it is due to their inability to roam across the map.
Roaming is a term used in MOBAs. It describes moving around the map to help your teammates and apply pressure on other lanes. With the new free teleport, the top laner can integrate more and better into the game in the future, Tolkin says.
Besides the many changes to League of Legends’ gameplay that will arrive in the Rift of Summoners with the new season in 2026, there is also a significant change in controls.
Soulslike meets Minecraft in an MMORPG on Steam. What sounds inappropriate at first looks surprisingly good in the first trailer of Dark Craft.
What is Dark Craft? The publisher and developer Take Top Entertainment, based in Kazakhstan, has so far focused on mobile games like Mother Simulator or Chillybash, but now clearly wants to implement a significantly more ambitious project.
Dark Craft is set to be released on Steam and become the first Soulslike for the MMORPG genre. The developers promise a combat system like in FromSoftware’s classic Dark Souls. In addition, a dark fantasy world and an MMO framework through which other players can become your allies or enemies. The first trailer for Dark Craft gives a first impression:
Start video
Dark Craft: Trailer presents new MMORPG with Minecraft look and Soulslike gameplay
Game Masters will shape the world
What will this look like in practice? Dark Craft will focus on the following pillars:
A dark fantasy world shaped by Game Masters: Game Masters can intervene in the action at any time, lure players into ambushes, act as world bosses, assign unique quests, or trigger events that won’t occur again in this form.
Soul-like experience: Not only the action combat system will be oriented towards Dark Souls, but also the difficulty level and the way victories must be earned. Through defeats, players lose a part of their loot.
MMO framework: In the world, you can encounter other players anywhere, though you never know at first whether they are friend or foe. Those who team up with others can explore particularly dangerous places and defeat enemies. However, no one guarantees that the distribution of loot won’t end in betrayal.
Payment model: Dark Craft will adopt a free-to-play model.
On top of all this is the special look: The characters shown in the trailer strongly resemble an adult version of Minecraft with their blocky aesthetic. Combined with the dark fantasy setting, it creates an exciting mix that makes us eager for more in the first trailer. What do you think?
The Twitch event in Hardcore-WoW is becoming more concrete. Now a streamer reveals that there will be a dedicated addon and what it can do.
What event is it about? Preparations are currently underway for the big Twitch event in Hardcore-WoW, which is supposed to take place in the style of the OnlyFangs guild from the USA. More than 200 streamers are supposed to be involved, who want to start the event together in a guild.
Now the streamer Metashi12, who is organizing the event with Twitch streamers Papaplatte and HandOfBlood, reveals that there will be a dedicated addon for the event. He also shares what it can do.
Here you can learn more about Papaplatte:
Start video
This is how challenges for Papaplatte became a livelihood
Dedicated addon for strict rules
What can the addon do? The addon created specifically for the event is based on the idea of the Guild-Found addon. The main focus is on preventing participants from trading with players who are not part of the project.
Thus, the addon itself directly prevents players from using the auction house to buy equipment and other items. Additionally, direct trading with non-guild members is also made impossible. Another feature that the addon blocks is receiving and sending in-game messages with the mail from and to non-guild members.
But besides the features of the typical Guild-Found addon, the minds behind the Twitch event have added another function. According to the streamer’s video on YouTube, the addon is supposed to record in the guild note in the game how many times the streamer has died in the project and had to start over with a new character.
When does it start? The Twitch event starts on December 27, 2025, on all Twitch channels and will run for at least until January 10, 2026. In these two weeks, it will not only be about leveling the characters but also mastering certain challenges such as specific raids. However, whether that will work well remains to be seen.
During the filming of the Fallout series, the people who created the setting of the second season over 15 years ago were invited. The Executive Producer from Bethesda, who has overseen the series since the third installment, wants to acknowledge their work.
Which developers were invited to the set? In the second season of Fallout, the eponymous location comes to life, which was introduced in 2010 in the popular Fallout spin-off “New Vegas”. Unlike the other installments developed by Bethesda after the third part, the spin-off was created at Obsidian Entertainment.
To this day, Fallout: New Vegas is very popular among fans, thanks to the newly reinterpreted setting of Las Vegas. Todd Howard, Game Director and Executive Producer for Bethesda, is also aware of this. He recognized that the original creators of New Vegas should also have the chance to step into their beloved work in reality, as he told PC Gamer: “They did an incredible job on New Vegas.”
Here you can see the trailer for the second season of Fallout on Amazon Prime:

Fan theory that Bethesda isn’t a big fan of Obsidian due to New Vegas’s popularity is not true
What is Howard’s stance on Obsidian’s work? Todd Howard speaks contrary to assumptions that Bethesda is not a fan of them due to New Vegas’s popularity, expressing his utmost respect for the developers. Due to their incredible work, as he himself stated, the creators of New Vegas should also witness the live-action adaptation:
Great respect to the folks at Obsidian. I invited them to the set so they could see it, and they had just an incredible year, looking back at it.
– Todd Howard in conversation with Elie Gould from PC Gamer
He also assures that there are no disagreements or any form of jealousy between the two studios:
When we wanted to tackle [New Vegas], we had just finished Fallout 3. We knew we were going to make Skyrim. We know the folks at Obsidian well, we really appreciate their work, so we contacted them and said: “Hey, would you like to do this? We see something else coming out of Fallout 3.”
– Todd Howard in conversation with Elie Gould from PC Gamer
How does the community view this action? The Fallout community on Reddit tries to imagine how the developers must feel at that moment, being able to step into their world they created years ago:
“I can’t imagine how they must have felt when they entered the set of a project they released 15 years ago,” writes Ksrugi. And ContinuumGuy also finds the action great, “Man, I can’t even imagine how incredibly cool it would be to see your work realized in live action.”
A comment from montybo2, which received nearly 1,000 upvotes, garnered the most agreement in the thread but offers a regretful note: “It’s a shame Matt Perry passed away before he could see this.”
Matt Perry is primarily known for his role as Chandler from the 90s sitcom Friends. He was a huge fan of Fallout 3 and voiced Benny, the chairman of the city, in Fallout: New Vegas. He passed away in 2023 at the age of 54.
In Pokémon GO the biggest Community Day of the year is coming up. MeinMMO shows you what to expect in the event.
What kind of event is this? A Community Day is an event that takes place every month. There are both a regular and a Classic variant of the event. A specific Pokémon is the focus and appears not only in very high numbers, but also with a significantly increased Shiny chance and other strong bonuses.
Traditionally, a Community Day occurs in December that brings together the Pokémon from all Community Days of the year. This is also the case the coming weekend. The Community Day will take place on December 6th and 7th, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with some content only active from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

In the fourth season of the series The Witcher, a notorious villain appears who brings fear and terror to the witchers. He is so feared that even dangerous monsters seem almost harmless in comparison.
Who is meant? Leo Bonhart is known to all fans of The Witcher, as he plays an important role in the story, especially regarding Ciri. He appears in the following books:
Blood of Elves
The Tower of the Swallow
The Lady of the Lake
Bonhart also appears in the fourth season of the Netflix series and is portrayed by Sharlto Copley. Film fans may recognize him from his role in District 9.
But what makes Leo Bonhart so dangerous and why are the witchers afraid of him? This is mainly due to his profession and his ruthless character. As a bounty hunter, he usually fulfilled his contracts very dutifully and with deadly precision. The hulking, yet very gaunt Bonhart was notorious for being brutal and sadistic towards his victims.
This delight in the suffering of others was also evident when he killed three witchers. After killing them, he took their medallions and wore them as trophies around his neck. Specifically, the medallions depicted a cat, a griffin, and a wolf – symbols of the witcher schools. Geralt belonged to the school of the wolf, by the way.
Particularly interesting is Bonhart’s relationship with Ciri, as the bounty hunter behaved unusually towards her and opposed his employers. However, he was by no means less brutal.

Ciri as a pawn of various powers
Attention Spoiler: In the following section, we tell the story of Ciri and Leo Bonhart. We reveal details that have not yet been shown in the Netflix series but are already known from the books.
What happened between Ciri and Leo Bonhart? The bounty hunter received contracts from two different parties, both of which were interested in Ciri.
On the one hand, the investigator Stefan Skellen, who belonged to the intelligence service of Nilfgaard. He wanted Bonhart to kill Ciri. On the other hand, Baron Casadei – also from Nilfgaard – requested that Bonhart simply capture Ciri and bring her to him alive.
At first, it seemed that the bounty hunter would carry out his tasks correctly. He confronted the Rats gang in combat. This was a group of mostly young criminals that Ciri had joined.
However, Bonhart made quick work of the gang: He killed each one of them and beheaded them. He took their heads as proof. During this action, the bounty hunter managed to capture Ciri as well.
However, instead of delivering her to Baron Casadei or killing her for Stefan Skellen, he imprisoned her in his own dungeon. There, he did terrible things to Ciri, inflicted pain on her, and tortured her.
Bonhart then pursued his own goal: He gave Ciri a sword that he had forged especially for her and sent her to Claremont, a town in Ebbing in Nilfgaard. There, she had to participate in staged fights.
In an unattended moment, Ciri managed to escape. Leo Bonhart resumed the hunt and found her again in a swamp. However, she managed to escape her hunter once more.
How did it end for Leo Bonhart? There was a final encounter with Ciri. At the Citadel of Stygga, she succeeded in bringing the bounty hunter down herself. Thus, the life of this brutal and sadistic man, who was perhaps feared more by the witchers than most real monsters, came to an end.
His relationship with Ciri is intriguing, as Bonhart was always driven by a fascination for her and even abandoned his employers for her. Presumably, he would have liked to kill her himself, and in an arena, before the eyes of many.
With a market value of over four trillion, Nvidia is one of the most valuable companies in the world. Its CEO works tirelessly despite having fears of failure. In a podcast, he explains why.
What did the Nvidia CEO say? In the podcast on YouTube “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, was a guest on December 3, 2025. He spoke with the host Joe Rogan about his workload, his fear of failure, and how it drives him.
Jensen responds to the question of how he feels about leading Nvidia by saying that he:
How a Spanish model becomes rich without much work and exists only through AI, you can see in the following video:
Select a MMO video…
An experience from the 90s is said to have been decisive
Why does the Nvidia CEO have fears? According to Jensen, there was an incident in the late 90s where Nvidia was close to bankruptcy. Since then, he has been permanently convinced of the saying “30 days of going out of business,” as he explains in the podcast. (via YouTube). It means to him that a company goes bankrupt within 30 days unless something changes.
The saying is said by Jensen to refer to an incident in 1996 when Nvidia was under contract with the Japanese game manufacturer Sega. Nvidia had not been able to fulfill the contract properly but still needed the promised money to avoid going bankrupt. Because:
If this order had been canceled, Nvidia would have been dead.
Only by a miracle and direct investments from Sega did Nvidia avoid bankruptcy, Jensen explains.
What does Jensen think about his fear? The CEO of Nvidia is convinced that his fear makes him a better leader.
Because there is nothing wrong with being vulnerable and a leader at the same time. On the contrary, he believes this position allows him to receive valuable feedback and change his strategies if necessary (via YouTube).
This way, he is not a genius who is always right. Nvidia does not need such a person, but rather a real human with flaws.
MeinMMO demon Cortyn was finally able to say goodbye to WildStar. Because World of Warcraft has now filled this void.
Those who know me or my articles know that I have a special fondness for collections and customization in MMORPGs. While some may not care about toys or transmogs, for me, it’s a great allure in MMORPGs.
Especially the possibility of having my own house in a game, that is, housing, is something I find particularly fascinating. Whether in MMORPGs like SWTOR or small games like Stardew Valley – if I can, I spend many hours setting things up. I simply have this urge to have a house that fits my character being played.
Start video
WoW: Early access to housing has started
It is exactly for this reason that I haven’t been truly happy with World of Warcraft for almost 10 years. Yes, I continued to play and enjoyed it a lot. I also like where many things are headed. But the garrison has always been a very poor joke as a housing substitute, which is why I found my happiness in another game: 2014 was WildStar.
WildStar was the savior of housing
WildStar was the MMORPG that made me feel a “second love”. No MMORPG has ever come close to my first time with WoW, but WildStar was very close behind. In some aspects, the sci-fi MMORPG from Carbine even had the edge: the housing.
WildStar housing was everything I could ever wish for from a housing system. It offered nearly infinite freedom and maximum creativity and allowed for much more than the housing system in SWTOR, where you could only place specific objects in fixed locations.
The housing in WildStar opened up so many possibilities for great role-playing, personal expression of my character, or simply interesting buildings full of jumping puzzles or other highlights.
The housing in WildStar was amazing – and also an inspiration for WoW.
When WildStar switched to a free-to-play model just a year later, its demise was already sealed. Hardly anyone played the game anymore, and apart from the great housing, the rest unfortunately wasn’t as convincing as it was in the beginning. It was clear: WildStar would die and ultimately did.
I have mourned this for a long time. Far too long. When WoW received a new patch, I looked at NPC houses and gnashed my teeth. There were so many great items, so much creativity and great details, like recently in Lorenhall. I wanted that.
When Blizzard finally announced housing, my joy was already great – but so was my concern. Could Blizzard create a truly good housing system? What if it just becomes a Garrison 2.0?
I spent the last few days (and far too many nights) looking at friends’ houses and carefully planning how I want to build my characters’ house. I spent an entire evening just creating the outdoor area until everything finally looked as I envisioned it – or at least nearly, because a few dozen more decoration slots would be helpful.
The interior has not even been created yet.
So far, I haven’t built a single item in my actual house and I am already, in the best possible sense, addicted to it. I visit all sorts of vendors, collect colors for decorations, farm old resources, and build up my large collection before I eventually lose myself in it completely for a week or two.
The housing system in WoW is actually superior to that of WildStar in some aspects. The neighborhoods as a dedicated, really nice area for guilds, friend circles, or complete strangers, I find really cool. You can discover so much or simply visit neighbors and ask how they built special things. It encourages you to engage with other players.
The decoration limit of 200 for the outdoor area is very restrictive.
Also, the fact that you can hardly place any lighting in the outdoor area because it could crash the server during the beta is annoying.
But the housing is still in early access and therefore incomplete. Yet even this incomplete version is so much more than I would have ever credited WoW with. I basically knew this since the beta, but being able to finally play it in the live version makes it clear to me:
With housing, the biggest point of criticism I had about World of Warcraft has disappeared. I don’t know how you feel, but I will probably spend all my free time until Christmas just setting up my house. And then I will look at your houses – and woe to you if they spoil the surroundings! So please heed these 3 building tips!

During a press preview of the new expansion “The Last of the Druids”, the head of Path of Exile 2 spoke about the release and explained when it will happen.
Isn’t Path of Exile 2 already out? Path of Exile 2 went into Early Access on Steam in December 2024 and was originally supposed to remain there for a maximum of one year, until the end of 2025. However, plans have changed and the release has recently been postponed to March 2026.
MeinMMO was able to ask the head some questions during the presentation of the new season and knows now the new plans for the release.
You can watch the trailer for the new expansion here:

New Delays
When will it be ready? The head, Jonathan Rogers, recently explained to MeinMMO that they are currently no longer targeting March 2026 for the release of Path of Exile 2. Instead, the next expansion, Update 0.5, will be released then.
Rather than naming a specific date again, the head did not want to commit this time and only revealed that if it were up to him, Path of Exile 2 would be fully released in 2026. However, whether this date can be met again depends on many factors, and currently, there is a lack of new classes as well as content for the single-player mode.
Many Innovations in the Upcoming Season
What’s new? With the update “The Last of the Druids”, the eponymous Druid class will be added to Path of Exile. The class can transform into a Bear, Wolf, or Wyvern depending on its main weapon.
This makes the class essentially four classes in one, offering an extremely diverse range of gameplay options. As a Bear, it can withstand a lot and perform powerful AoE attacks, while as a Wolf it focuses on ice attacks, quick strikes, and its own pack. As a Wyvern, it can use wing attacks, lightning attacks, and of course a powerful dragon breath.
The developers assured us in conversation that players can constantly switch between human and beast forms, but they can also choose to commit to just one form, with both variants being well playable. So, if you prefer to wander around with your wolf pack, you never have to walk as a human unless you want to.

What league mechanic can we expect? As a league mechanic, we will delve into the depths of the Vaal Temple. This ancient civilization has left behind many ruins to explore in the new season. For the characters, this means Craft-Your-Temple, which can be expanded with various rooms according to personal preference, offering new challenges and unique loot mechanics.
Players will also be able to corrupt their items in the temples a second time, which has a 50% chance of destroying an item. Nevertheless, this can also yield extremely powerful items.
Additionally, players can tinker with their characters. There are prosthetics with bonus effects that only last until the next death, making no-death runs even more exciting.
With SOL Shogunate, the new studio Chaos Manufacturing has presented its first video game with a new trailer. Expect samurai in space, plenty of action, and a focus on rock music. Another relevant feature: It aims to stand out from games like Dark Souls.
What is SOL Shogunate? During the PC Gaming: Show Most Wanted 2025, Chaos Manufacturing presented its debut work SOL Shogunate with a first trailer. The studio consists of experienced industry veterans who have worked on games from Riot, Blizzard, and CD Projekt Red.
As a third-person action RPG, the game aims to offer you quite a bit:
A revenge story set in an alternative sci-fi future full of space samurai.
Diverse tools in combat, including several melee and ranged weapons, elemental infusions, and movement options.
The game is also expected to have a strong focus on Japanese rock music, which will underscore the boss fights and other action sequences. In the trailer, you can already hear the band AliA, and others are expected to be involved in the game.
The fights themselves are expected to be fast, fluid, and cinematic.
You can watch the first announcement trailer here:

Samurai, but in space
What kind of game is SOL Shogunate? In the trailer, you can already see the protagonist Yuzuki, who can travel through space as a sci-fi samurai. A central point for this is the moon. The world of SOL Shogunate takes place in an alternate future where Japan has become a powerful space nation.
This is also supposed to influence the architecture and the samurai themes. The developers describe the style as “astro-feudal.” Yuzuki herself comes from a once-powerful samurai family that was brutally murdered. As is common in such stories, Yuzuki seeks revenge.
For this, she also has various tools at her disposal. She can find or obtain gene splices in the world that can enhance or change her own abilities. Additionally, mechanics like element infusions for your weapons are expected to offer various ways to defeat bosses and other enemies.
This is what MyMMO action fan Nikolas Hernes says about the trailer: I’m already satisfied with the fact that it’s not a Soulslike and is finally a very action-packed action RPG. I do enjoy Soulslikes occasionally, but there are just too many of them now.
Aside from that, the first trailer looks good and the initial information sounds promising. The genre offers many possibilities for interesting and especially creative combat systems, and the visual identity could also be exciting. In the trailer, you can already see initial attacks and features such as ropes to pull in opponents.
However, I’m particularly excited about the boss fights and the use of Japanese rock music, as if done correctly, it can create a great flow that players won’t soon forget.
However, it should be noted that the game is still in pre-production. So, you will have to wait for further trailers, especially regarding gameplay, to better assess the information and what has been shown.
When is SOL Shogunate expected to be released? As the game is still very early in production, it will likely take some time before there is a rough release date. However, you can already add the game to your wishlist on Steam.
The customer service on Steam is regularly praised by many players. It is all the more frustrating for many that they do not address a common issue that has already caused trouble for many customers.
What problem is being referred to? User JxckLines is frustrated about an unfortunate experience of a friend and asks the community on Reddit for advice. Following his recommendation, his friend decided to order an OLED Steam Deck, as he himself is so happy with the handheld device. However, when the delivery from Valve arrived and he opened the package, he found not the expected Steam Deck … but merely a wrapped power strip.
The author of the post is convinced that an employee of the courier service recognized the shipping package of the Steam Deck, swapped the contents, and then resealed the package, which was also indicated by two fresh pieces of tape.
Commercial for the Joule Kitchen Appliance with Gabe Newell from Valve
An unresolved problem that has existed for some time
Why can’t Valve do anything? According to the author, Valve communicated that the package was shipped correctly and marked as delivered, which is why they cannot help the frustrated customer.
Without another idea, he then decided to file a complaint, contact his bank, but also the courier service itself. Aside from the fact that Valve has been informed and the customer is ready to file a criminal complaint, he has not yet received any helpful responses – neither from Valve nor from the other mentioned parties.
His friend and the author of the post suggested he ask for advice on Reddit, as he himself does not have an account. And the community is just as frustrated as the two of them.
What does the community say about the situation? The players on Reddit absolutely cannot understand why Valve has not yet acted after multiple incidents of stolen Steam Decks. Because they believe to recognize what the problem is, and it is a problem that should not be so difficult to fix:
“Completely incomprehensible that they still ship in these ‘Steal Me’ boxes,” writes Biggman23, “They were constantly stolen when they came out. By now, it’s gross negligence.”
Competitive-Elk-5077 is also hoping for a quick resolution to this shipping problem: “Valve really needs to sell the [Steam Decks] in stores or make their packaging less conspicuous.”
User lynxblaine, who recognizes from the shape of the socket that the author and his friend must be living in the UK, offers a helpful hint: “Valve is wrong. Under British law, the responsibility for correct delivery of the goods lies with the sender (Valve). If the goods are missing or damaged upon arrival, it is their duty to rectify this. You are liable only once the goods have been delivered.”
This is also referred to by Soggy_Equipment with Section 27 of the “Sale of Goods Act 1979” on legislation.gov.uk. There it states: “It is the seller’s duty to deliver the goods and the buyer’s duty to accept and pay for them according to the terms of the contract.”
The community thus supports the author of the post and his friend, hoping that they will keep pressing Valve.
As the post by JxckLines was only 4 hours old at the time of publication of this article, it cannot yet be said whether the two friends had success with Valve. Until something develops, the customer will have to cope without a Steam Deck, unless his friend takes pity and shares his own device.
Final Fantasy XIV can sometimes consume a lot of time. The head of the MMORPG is aware of this and emphasizes that it is important for every player to have a sense of achievement—regardless of how long they sit in front of the screen.
What is the head talking about? Naoki Yoshida, the head of Final Fantasy XIV, better known as Yoshi-P, has spoken about the topic of time. You’ve all experienced it: Especially once the school years are behind you, the hours available to invest in your favorite game grow scarce.
No matter if work, studies or other commitments—leisure time is diminishing, and Yoshi-P is aware of that. For this reason, he and his team have considered how players of Final Fantasy XIV can have a satisfying gaming experience without having to invest countless hours. Altered dungeons are supposed to help with this endeavor.
This type of dungeon is now set to receive a new mode, according to Yoshi-P, which can also be successfully completed by players with limited time.
In the revised mode, defeating bosses will be the primary objective. Once the final boss is defeated, there will be a personal reward, and the challenge will be considered completed as soon as the completion is confirmed. Anyone wanting to keep playing can face two additional bosses and only then conclude the overarching challenge.
In an interview with Famitsu, Yoshi-P summarizes the motivation of the team:
Nowadays, players have increasingly less free time. Therefore, we consider it incredibly important to provide every player with a sense of achievement, regardless of their goals—whether “I have something else to do today, so I’m just practicing one fight” or “Today I want to push myself and complete all three fights”—and still give them the feeling that they have “fully completed the content”.
The team is currently still discussing and testing the details and will then take a close look at player feedback.
