The developers of Hytale have shared a new, detailed video. In it, they introduce the Creative mode, which already has more features than Minecraft.
What kind of mode is this? Similar to Minecraft, Hytale offers a Creative gameplay mode. Here, players can focus on building without survival. They have access to all blocks as well as a flying mode, which allows them to fly through the world.
Unlike Minecraft, Hytale focuses on a more technical level. There are many special tools that make life much easier for experienced builders.
Here you can see current gameplay from Hytale:

Tools for all Creatives
What tools are available in Hytale? As the developers explain in their new video and accompanying blog post, there are numerous tools that make Hytale a dream for creative players. For example, there is the option to copy builds from one world to another, which is particularly useful for large servers.
There are also pre-made structures from the game. The so-called “Prefabs” provide a variety of locations like ruins, hot springs, or lava lakes that would otherwise be generated by the game but can also be placed using different brushes in various shapes. So for those who have always wanted a lava lake as a swimming pool, this will be a find.
Instead of just placing individual blocks, in Creative mode, you can also place complete spheres, pyramids, or large squares. You can also build mountains or dig trenches, all in just a few seconds.
You can see what all this looks like in the video here:

What else sounds interesting? Not only builders are expected to enjoy Hytale, but also content creators. The game has a built-in camera mode called “Machinima”, which allows you to program camera movements to record films in the game.
Here, the camera can not only move along a predetermined route but also adjust the speed. The developers explain that many more features are planned for the future, on Hytale.com.
Since not all tools in Hytale currently have their own menu to make them visible to everyone, the developers have also provided an extensive help page with many commands. Here, dozens of options are hidden that can further enhance building and creativity in the game.
A user shows a colleague’s computer. However, the image is shocking. Few have seen such a sticky and dirty PC before.
What could be so terrible to see? A computer that a user posted on Reddit. There, you can see a PC glowing yellow, brown, and black on the inside, which has definitely seen better days. The thread starter writes only: “The fans are basically glued together with tar and dust sludge.”
Even community users who have seen a lot are quite astonished by the image and suspect that there isn’t much left to save. One user explains quite incredulously:
I used to smoke a lot myself, but my PC never looked like this. Like… I think the worst part was that it was a bit yellow on the inside.
Such cases happen repeatedly, that hardware is heavily stuck with tar and dust from smoking. Because the computer, whether it is on or under the table, “breathes” in the smoke’s fumes through the ventilation and thus unconsciously becomes a passive smoker. How that can look in the worst case is also shown by this user’s image.
If you want to quit smoking, the Federal Centre for Health Education offers an information portal. At Rauchfrei-Info.de, you will find all the important information on how to stop smoking and protect yourself and those around you in the future.

Why should you regularly clean your computer? Dirt and dust clog access ways for air or your fans. This causes some components or parts to not dissipate heat properly and thus overheat.
In cases like the currently shown user’s PC, there may eventually be nothing more to do because dust and tar have become so strongly adhered and turned into a hard mass that cannot be removed with household means. As some users in the thread fear, you may only be able to throw away the hardware.
MeinMMO editor Niko likes Persona and he really likes action games. An action RPG from 2025 impressed him with both aspects. Currently, there is even a good discount.
What game is it? On June 19, 2025, just under 2 weeks after the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army was released. As I was looking for new games for the console, I grabbed the RPG that mixes the demon mechanics from Persona and Shin Megami Tensei with an action RPG.
After just a few hours, I was fully into it, as collecting monsters like in Pokémon also suits an action game well because it creates a different dynamic than regular role-playing games.
Currently, you can get the game as part of the Black Friday on Steam, in the Nintendo eShop and in the PSN-Store with a discount of 30% and I can assure you: It’s worth it.

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army – Trailer for the Action RPG
An Action RPG that kept me engaged until the end
What is Raidou Remastered? As the name suggests, the game is a remaster. The original was released in 2006 on the PS2.
You play as Raidou Kuzunoha, a detective from a long line of demon summoners. In the remaster, he must solve a case that the fate of Japan depends on. Unlike Persona or Shin Megami Tensei, this title does not rely on a turn-based combat system but rather on direct action.
As Raidou, you are not only armed with a sword, you have the ability to actively use spells and special abilities in combat. The combat system is not particularly complex, but offers minor combo opportunities that were sufficient for me throughout the entire gameplay time of nearly 20 hours.
As in other titles of the Megami Tensei universe, the focus of the combat is on the various demons that you must persuade to join you. You can obtain more powerful demons through the fusion function.
In combat, the demons act independently, but with the press of a button, you can have them perform abilities. This also involves a tactical component, as the demons have various abilities, buffs, and traits that are more useful depending on the enemy type.
But demons prove to be useful companions not only in combat.
You don’t just fight, but also work as a detective
What do you do outside of battles? As Raidou, you must solve various cases together with a talking cat. The story takes place in fictional Japan in the early 1930s. So you are right in the middle of industrialization. Accordingly, your weapons are rustic, as are the buildings and vehicles in the game world.
You solve the cases not only through your detective skills but also with the help of the many demons. Besides their attacks, they also have abilities that assist you in the game world. You can find hidden items and also manipulate NPCs.
As someone who doesn’t enjoy puzzles, I had fun with it, especially since you usually have funny dialogues with the demons that represent various personalities. Additionally, this makes the relatively linear game world a bit more lively.
I also enjoyed the story and the side quests. Thanks to the unique characters and villains, I always wanted to know how it continued. If you like silliness and absurd situations, you will particularly enjoy the game’s finale. Atmospherically, the game is somewhere between Persona and Shin Megami Tensei. It is less apocalyptic than Shin Megami Tensei, but since you don’t play as students, it is also somewhat more serious than the Persona games.
The pleasant length of the game prevents it from being tiring and creates a nice pacing. If you want more after the story, you can discover new demons in New Game Plus or complete the side quests. Completionist players will have plenty to do with over 120 demons even after the story.
I played Raidou Remastered on the Switch 2 and I had a lot of fun. Thanks to the hybrid console, I could grind in handheld mode when needed, and I defeated large bosses on the TV. The best part was that it is finally a title in the universe that does not take almost 100 hours to complete. However, you will still find enough: A dark Pokémon alternative on Steam is so good that I even bought the game 2 times

The first three episodes of “The Mighty Nein”, the new animated series from Critical Role, have already convinced fans and critics alike. MeinMMO editor Caro is also pleased with the strong start and hopes it continues that way.
I have been looking forward to it since the first announcement two years ago that after the success of Critical Role’s “The Legend of Vox Machina”, their second campaign “The Mighty Nein” would also receive an animated series. For two years, I have been excited to see my favorite heroes from Critical Role again. And now it is here, starting with three episodes at release and the first episode as an early preview the weekend before the official launch.
After years of waiting, I watched it right at the start and was excited yet slightly nervous: Hopefully, my favorite campaign from Critical Role won’t be ruined.
After the first three episodes, I can say with relief – the wait was worth it. Similar to the 100% of satisfied critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, I am incredibly happy with the direction that Critical Role and the team are taking with their new animated series. And not just because I find the implementation of the character presentations, the representation of magic, and the start into the story extremely successful, but because I finally have new material for friends who have absolutely no connection to Dungeons & Dragons. This series is particularly suitable for people who have no knowledge of the role-playing game.
Here you can see the trailer for The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime with the original voices from Critical Role:

Critical Role surpasses its first Amazon hit with The Mighty Nein after just three episodes
The members of Critical Role expressed before the release that they want to make their new series not only make loyal fans happy but also welcome newcomers. For this goal, they were also willing to take a different approach than with The Legend of Vox Machina. And this new approach pays off completely.
Instead of starting directly with a connected group of adventurers, Critical Role uses the already released first three episodes as a kind of “Session Zero”: Filling it with content that clarifies things before the actual adventure (if one wants to explain it with D&D lingo.)
In The Legend of Vox Machina, it is clear from the first scene that the group already knows each other well. The heroes start in a typical tavern, receive tasks to complete, and face dragons – fans of Dungeons & Dragons will immediately understand what is going on.
Already in the first scene of the series, the heroes of Vox Machina are familiar with each other (source: YouTube)
However, The Mighty Nein does it differently: The extended episode duration allows for the space to get to know the characters better, understand their backgrounds, and the motivation for why they embark on the journey at all. The group must first find each other, and you are with them from the beginning, which means you can start with zero prior knowledge. And this has been the intended plan:
The main goal behind this was that we wanted to present it in such a way that whether you are a die-hard Mighty Nein fan, have seen all episodes of Critical Role, or are tuning into the show for the first time, we want to present it in a way that veteran fans and newcomers are on equal footing, and we hope to have something to offer for both.
– Travis Willingham in conversation with Prime Video on YouTube
I don’t want to stick my neck out with this statement, but this approach gives me a similar feeling to what I had as an absolute LoL noob watching Arcane on Netflix. I know absolutely nothing about League of Legends, yet I was immediately captivated by its animated series, as were many others who had just as little experience with the game.
The new series offers an easier entry point through its focus on the personal stories of the characters and doesn’t require knowledge of the universe, spells, classes, or races. However, it is a nice bonus that fans can look forward to – especially if you enjoy magic, like I do as a Warlock player, and can recognize the various spells and their level of detail in the series.
I have the feeling that The Mighty Nein is also more suitable for D&D newcomers than Vox Machina, even though both are based on the same role-playing game. Yes, my friends are also not sure about the typical “Have you heard about it? No, you don’t need prior knowledge. No, I won’t keep quiet.”
The Mighty Nein is darker, yet still retains its charm
While The Legend of Vox Machina uses the dynamics within the group and its humor to create a much brighter and wittier tone – although I don’t want to downplay the intense and emotional moments of the series – The Mighty Nein feels somewhat more grounded. Of course, the series still has its humor, especially through characters like Jester or Nott, but overall, the missions of the characters and their conflicts are significantly darker than those of the heroes from the first series.
Generally, the protagonists appear less heroic. They can be rough, act out of selfishness, and gradually find their way together, which can be seen well in the first episodes with Caleb and Nott.
The characters from The Mighty Nein can initially be described as less of a heroic adventuring group (source: YouTube)
Still, you can see the charm of the group, especially through Laura Bailey’s performance as Jester. The Tiefling is one of the most popular characters from Critical Role for a reason, and in the first episodes, even outsiders would quickly recognize why.
The Mighty Nein initially presents the group as individuals with their own conflicts before you can even recognize them as a group. This offers even more potential for character development, rather than watching an already established group in their heroic deeds. And while both approaches can be enjoyable, I am particularly excited to see how strangers become not only friends but also family.
Critical Role is a reason for many fans why they even became aware of Dungeons & Dragons, as they were able to get a first glimpse into the atmosphere and adventures of the role-playing game. The Legend of Vox Machina has also been an entry point for many who haven’t seen the streamed campaigns of Critical Role yet. I am convinced that The Mighty Nein will make many more newcomers fans of role-playing games.
At the latest, the characters of the campaigns, which can definitely be described as one of the biggest strengths and the heart of the stories, have made many curious individuals into loyal “Critters”. We present the protagonists of The Mighty Nein here on MeinMMO: The new series from Critical Role starts today on Amazon – Here are the Mighty Nein

After the surprise beta in early November, the announcement for Early Access on Steam follows: The MMO shooter Pioner is indeed set to launch in 2025, as promised by the developers.
When does Early Access start? Pioner will enter Early Access on Steam on December 16, 2025. This keeps the promise made by the developers of GFAGAMES to release the MMO shooter in a playable version this year.
MMORPG shooter Pioner reveals the date for early access on Steam in a new trailer
The Day Before, but better?!
What is Pioner for you as a game? The mixture of RPG, MMO shooter, and survival slightly resembles The Division, but introduces supernatural zombies. The Day Before was supposed to fill this gap 2 years ago and managed to build enormous hype beforehand. At times, the game was even the most wished-for title on Steam, but then disappointed those high expectations.
Since The Division 2 is barely being developed further and The Division 3 is still early in development, there is some demand for such a multiplayer shooter. Enter: Pioner, which according to the developers has already gathered more than 500,000 wishlist entries on Steam.
The MMO shooter is set in a post-apocalyptic world filled with various monsters, including creatures that resemble zombies. Apart from the story campaign, you can expect various activities like PvE missions, PvP arenas, events, and mini-games such as fishing and gambling.
With its strong focus on survival, Pioner aims to appeal to survival fans as well. If you are looking for more great games in the genre, you can find a large selection in our list: The 31 best survival games of 2025 for PS5, Steam, and Xbox.

What can be seen in the teaser? In the 30-second teaser, you can see the three doctors J.D., Turk, and Elliot walking down a hospital corridor (a classic image from the original series) to meet a group of newcomers.
The new trainees at the hospital don’t seem to know J.D. because they only respond to his I’m back baby with confused faces and the question of who these three even are. Elliot suggests J.D. approach the situation more like Dr. Cox, and conjures up the real Dr. Cox with Listen up, noobs.
As usual, he is disappointed with J.D. The grumpy doctor seems to have evolved, at least calling him by the male name Scooter instead of a female name. Of course, Carla has to step in, who protects Bambi.

How does the community react to the teaser? All the years of reboots, sequels, and remakes seem to have made some users skeptical, questioning whether this was really necessary. There is also a fear that the original might be ruined. Some just miss the janitor.
But many users are also excited to see the old faces again. For example, @nickz (x.com) writes: This is what the world needs right now. @DRParsaSalehi (x.com) is also thrilled: This is how you evoke nostalgia – hopefully it’s good.
What does MeinMMO editor Niko say about the first teaser of the Scrubs revival? I love Scrubs and I’ve probably watched the first 8 seasons at least 10 times. However, the teaser gives me a good feeling. They seem to have an understanding of the images and the mood of the original, and the dynamic movements of the picture also seem to be back.
The hardest part of the revival will be finding the right balance between comedy and drama, an aspect that Scrubs executed incredibly well in the original. After the first teaser, though, I am more optimistic.
When is the revival set to premiere? The season premiere is set for February 25, 2025, on the US channel ABC. However, there is currently no information regarding Germany. One can only hope that the revival will be made available on Disney+ here. If you need series content before then, here’s a list: 7 series like Scrubs to fill the gaping void in your heart.

Update: The article was first published on November 13, 2025. On November 26, 2025, we updated the article with new information regarding the Aspiration Talents from the official live version.
Start video
Der Trailer zum weltweiten Release von Where Winds Meet zeigt die Features des China-RPGs
Aspiration Talents – Drunken Precision or Rhetoric Edge?
During character creation, you’ll face your first decision where you might quickly feel like you’re making the wrong choice without prior knowledge. You have to choose between the following two talents:
Drunken Precision: Makes aiming easier for you in the Pitch Pot minigame.
Rhetoric Edge: You start with +2 Inspiration, which gives you a slight advantage in debates.
The simple truth is: It doesn’t matter what you choose. On the one hand, both talents only correspond to one minigame (a skill test called Pitch Pot and debate duels against NPCs). They do not affect the core gameplay experience. On the other hand, you can also learn both talents during your adventure.
The Most Important Options Before Starting
Before starting the game, but also during the tutorial, you’ll need to select a whole series of options, such as for the camera mode or display mode. While these are a matter of taste, you should consider an important detail regarding the so-called distraction support that helps you parry in combat.
Distraction Support – Yes or No?
In multiplayer content like raids or PvP, this parrying aid is always disabled. In other words: You have to read the movements of your opponents and press the parry button at the right moment. Only then can you block the blow without taking damage and initiate a counterattack. Anyone looking to experience multiplayer content like this should learn proper parrying as early as possible.
However, those who mainly want to play the story and quests in single-player mode and explore the world with all its secrets can make the fights noticeably easier by activating distraction support. Especially when several melee fighters close in on you while you’re under fire from archers. It can get pretty chaotic.
The opponent’s stance is broken, now you can land a heavy attack.
What Exactly Does Distraction Support Do? As long as you have the resource Insight (which you build up in battle), time slows down during avoidable attacks from opponents and your parry button is displayed, which you need to press to execute a parry. However, even with the activated aid, you can only counter if your timing is perfect.
Successful parries effectively reduce a kind of stance of the enemy. If this drops to zero, they are briefly stunned, and you can unleash a powerful strike on them. Tip: You also have a few moments for this. So throw a few normal attacks first before you go for the finisher … this way, you deal maximum damage.
Treasure Hunting Mode
A second option that you might want to deactivate is the treasure hunting mode. This allows you to destroy objects in the environment through attacks and movements, revealing special rewards with a bit of luck.
The downside: If these objects belong to an NPC, they can consider your action a crime, which can increase your criminal reputation, place a bounty on you, and eventually land you in jail. Anyone who definitely wants to avoid such a scenario should disable treasure hunting mode in the settings under the game tab.
Easier difficulty, activated distraction support – this way, casual gamers should have a lot of joy with Where Winds Meet.
Finding the Right Difficulty
What kinds of difficulty levels are there? Currently, Where Winds Meet offers 4 difficulty levels:
Story
Recommended
Expert
Legend
With Hardcore, a fifth mode is supposed to follow. Note: You can switch between Story, Recommended, and Expert at any time outside of battles in the game. However, you can only choose Legend at the start of the game. If you switch from Legend to a lower variant even once, there is no going back to Legend.
WARNING: In our current test version, we could only create one character and could not delete it again. In our current test version, we were only able to create one character and could not delete it. In the current live version (17.11.2025), deletion is also only possible to a limited extent. Read on to find out what options are available for deleting your character.
Players from the Chinese version report, however, that they have 6 character slots available. We assume that these will also be included in the release version for the West – and we will check this immediately at launch.
When you first enter the open world of Where Winds Meet and thus the Green Wilderness, you’ll meet two important NPCs in the valley: the Wanderer and Qi Sheng. The Wanderer introduces you to cooking for the first time and uncovers the local region on the map. Remember this! Merchant NPCs at campfire symbols reveal map areas – this also applies to all other zones.
So when you enter an undiscovered region, your first path should always lead to the campfire symbol, where you’ll illuminate things with the corresponding NPC. Only then will you know where to find fast travel points, fortresses, world bosses, quest givers, and more.
Tip: If you have a friend in the game who has already uncovered a map section, start a co-op round with them. Since you can teleport directly to your buddy’s location via a travel function, you will uncover the whole world in no time. You can also easily share the exploration work.
Collect Curiosities (and Everything Else)
You first need to free the NPC Qi Sheng from a pile of stones. He is stuck near the bear where you learn the mystical art of Tai Chi. Once you’ve rescued Qi Sheng, he will present you with the curiosities.
These are small collectible animals or plants (like insects, frogs, butterflies, nests, or beehives) that you can hand over to him (and other NPCs in the world) to unlock passive improvements (especially for your attributes).
For this reason, one of the most important rules in Where Winds Meet is: Collect everything! Therefore, and because you will need a lot of materials for upgrading gear.
Bonus Side Effect: Collecting curiosities rewards you with exploration points for the respective region. By the way, for some curiosities, you need to pay attention to specifics. You can obtain the branches of the white birds most easily when you switch to the bow, slow down time with the skill “Still Water”, and then shoot the bird.
With the skill “Still Water”, it’s easy to hit the bird and obtain its branch.
When you interact with the purple plants, a purple cloud rises into the sky. You need to catch this before it touches the ground. Other plants, however, are toxic. Only when you shoot down the corresponding clouds in the air with the bow does the toxin disappear, and you can pick the flower.
Some insects hide in a pile of ceramic pots that you need to break. And for certain species of frogs, you need to be very quick. Each curiosity is marked on the mini-map (not on the large world map) by an insect symbol when you are close enough.
Which Weapon to Take from Qi Sheng?
Once you’ve completed the first curiosity task for Qi Sheng, he rewards you with one of four weapons. Note that while you can also obtain all these weapons later, it may take many hours of gameplay.
If you want to make tough battles noticeably easier, you should combine a DPS weapon with a healing weapon, which you can then switch between at any time with the press of a button. Additionally, having a healing weapon in every co-op or multiplayer round makes you look good.
As you already have the unnamed sword and the nameless spear available from the start, you already have two DPS weapons. Qi Sheng’s All-Healing Fan fills the healing slot very early in the game and is therefore our recommendation.
How Can I Heal Myself?
In combat, you can use different types of powders and ointments from your medicine kit to treat yourself at the press of a button. However, it can only hold a limited amount at first. You can only refill your supplies through a rest period.
However, you can upgrade the medicine kit by bringing healing stories to Yao Yaoyao at the Evercare Clinic (northwest of the Green Wilderness). You can obtain these by completing side or campaign quests, successfully cleared outposts, or victories over world bosses.
The Evercare Clinic is located in the first zone, Qinghe.
Alternatively, you can use a healing weapon such as the All-Healing Fan or the Soulshade Umbrella – see the previous point “Which Weapon to Take from Qi Sheng?”.
Outside of battles, you regenerate health points automatically when you have healing dishes in your inventory. Cook these yourself (and regularly collect herbs and hunt animals like deer or rabbits) or buy them from merchants.
What if I get seriously injured? In Where Winds Meet, you can get injuries such as fractures or illnesses that cannot be cured simply by ointments. These will be displayed in the upper left corner next to the mini-map by a red symbol, and they often affect your stats.
If you are affected by such an injury, you have two options:
Visit the Evercare Clinic and get healed by Yao Yaoyao – this will, however, cost increasingly more money.
Search the chat for a player who has enough healing knowledge to treat your injury. Since there is a whole sect dedicated to healing other players, you should be able to find someone who can help easily.
For Now, Avoid Recycling Old Clothes
When you replace your old gear with new ones, you may be tempted by the recycle button in your inventory. After all, it sounds useful, as you can get items that you can use for upgrades or other things.
What the game doesn’t tell you at first: At some point, you’ll unlock the Arsenal, where you can store old gear to increase your minimum and maximum physical damage as well as your maximum health points.
So wait until the Arsenal is unlocked. Then put all items into the collection that fit in. Only after that should you dispose of the unnecessary items. For new loot, the game will automatically inform you if an exchange or a new addition to the collection would grant you an additional bonus.
You can explore the world of Where Winds Meet on the back of a mount.
Where Do I Get My First Mount?
There are quests in the game that reward you with a horse. However, you don’t have to wait until you run into such a mission. On the roads traversing the Green Wilderness, you’ll frequently encounter individual riders. You can simply throw them off their horse and steal the animal, GTA-style.
Note that your criminal reputation may increase if there are witnesses. You can avoid this by first stunning the rider with a Tai Chi attack. This way, they won’t know who stole the horse. Once you’re comfortably seated on the back of the mount, it belongs to you, and you can summon it almost anywhere in the open world.
How Do I Learn to Fly?
The fastest mode of travel in Where Winds Meet is not the mounts but flying (or teleporting to unlocked fast travel points – represented on the map by a stone pillar). Through lightness skills, you can launch yourself high into the air and cover large distances in no time, just like in Wuxia.
However, there is a catch: You must unlock flying in each of the major zones by achieving the respective exploration level 4.
In Qinghe, you receive the Glimmer Pendant, which allows you to use lightness skills and walk along walls in the zone.
In Kaifeng, at level 4, you receive the flight medal, which allows you to use lightness skills and walk along walls in the city zone and surroundings.
Be aware that there are restricted zones throughout the world where you cannot use your mystical arts. This includes lightness skills and wall-walking.
The lightness skills allow you to fly through the air for a short time.
For such a breakthrough, you must meet various requirements. These include reaching a minimum character level, completing specific basic tests, and sometimes a certain daily requirement.
Once you’ve met all these requirements, you activate the breakthrough via the mode selection or the single-player mode window. Then the following things happen:
Your maximum character level typically increases by 5 or 10 levels.
Your maximum energy and attributes increase.
Often, enemies level up with you, which also significantly improves the rewards you receive.
You will also receive various rewards for the breakthrough itself.
A surge of new gear lands in your inventory.
It is therefore worthwhile to perform each level breakthrough as early as possible.
What to Do If I’m Stuck on a Boss?
In single-player mode, you have several options to make fights easier:
Combat difficulty in the settings under Game: Switch from Expert or Recommended to Story. Note: If you switch from Legend to a lower difficulty, this choice cannot be undone!
Activate helpful options in the settings such as distraction support, ranged hints, or take cover (eases sneaking).
Throughout the story, you’ll meet characters who can assist you in boss fights. These can be summoned through a marker on the ground found before many boss arenas.
Leave the challenge aside for now and turn to other quests and content. After some level ups and equipment upgrades, the fight should become easier for you.
Boss enemies like these two ladies can be pretty tough. However, there are many ways to make fights easier.
The Compendium Reveals Where to Find What
You will often find yourself asking in Where Winds Meet: Where do I get this resource again? Where can I find this NPC? What is this for? What does this boss do? The good news: The game answers these questions excellently by itself. Here are some examples:
Do you want to cook a fire pot and wonder where to get meat scraps? Hover over the ingredient and a window will open with all sources. Click on one, and you will see on the map where you can farm or buy the item.
Do you want to upgrade your weapon, but you lack the necessary envelopes? Click on the resource in the upgrade window, and you will see from which contents you can obtain them. Another click will take you directly to group search.
Are you wondering what currencies like Echo Jade are for? Switch to the wallet in the inventory, click on Echo Jade, and a window will open revealing what the currency is for and where you can get it.
Player Rexlent shows in a post on X that certain information can be pinned in an extra window to keep it in view while playing.
In a second post on X, Rexlent shows that there are even detailed information about boss mechanics.
Alternatively, you can mark certain materials or animals on the map to see all the places where you can encounter, for example, Great Elk or certain ores.
Item descriptions reveal how to obtain consumables, resources, or currencies and what they are needed for.
How Do I Adjust the Time of Day?
In Where Winds Meet, there is a day-night cycle and NPCs that follow a daily routine. It is fitting that you are supposed to be at a specific time at a specific place for various quests. The good news: In single-player mode, you can advance the time at any time.
To do this, open the menu and select the clock icon in the right column for time. Now select the hour mentioned in the quest, such as the hour of the Rat the next day. Confirm the change, and the time will advance. If you now close the window and are at the right spot, you can continue the quest.
What to Do If I Run Out of Stamina While Swimming?
If you just keep swimming in this case to reach the shore as quickly as possible, you might quickly kill your character … because after a certain point, every meter costs health.
So stay calm and in place, don’t move. Then your character will regenerate stamina even while in the water.
Save the Powder under the Pillow for the Endgame
In Where Winds Meet, you need the resource Energy to earn rewards in certain modes like dungeons. Energy builds up over time, and with level breakthroughs, you increase your maximum energy each time. Additionally, you can restore 60 energy instantly with the powder under the pillow.
So save this item for the endgame, when you’ve completed the main missions as well as the most important side quests and reached a high level. If you now want to focus on alternative activities like dungeons, restoring energy will be most beneficial.
Where Winds Meet is so complex that we could easily add another 15 tips. However, these were the most important ones to help you get started in the open-world RPG.

In Where Winds Meet, there are not only dungeons and world bosses but also real raids. How good they are and whether MMORPG players get their money’s worth has been examined by MeinMMO expert Cedric Holmeier.
Right from the start, Where Winds Meet shows that MMORPG players were considered. Thus, you may choose an MMORPG control scheme directly in the tutorial, where the mouse is active the entire time.
Fans of the genre should also get their money’s worth in terms of gameplay. The developers offer dungeons, world bosses, but also raids. These were unlocked last weekend with the level increase to level 55, and our expert tested them for you.
Who is writing here? Cedric Holmeier is an expert on Asia MMORPGs at MeinMMO. He has spent hundreds and thousands of hours in games like Swords of Legends Online, Tarisland, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, or Throne and Liberty. He has completed many raids and knows exactly what a fun raid should look like.

Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Donkey? Donkey!
The raids in Where Winds Meet have very few prerequisites. A group needs at least one tank, three healers, and six damage dealers who reach the necessary combat skill mastery. Then, as usual, the group is formed and registered via a menu.
Our run lasted about 30 minutes – perfect if you want to play something challenging but not overwhelming after work. Our preparation was nearly zero. And that made it so exciting because we had no idea what surprises awaited us.
The first enemy was the sleeping Taoist. The boss is actually a world boss who defends a herd of donkeys. You will also encounter these donkeys in the raid, and you yourself will repeatedly transform into a donkey to play the mechanics of the boss fight.
Thus, the group had to blend in with the herd of donkeys disguised so as not to be attacked by the boss. It went differently when several players suddenly floated above the arena, and the group had to panic and transform into donkeys to quickly catch them again. Of course, no one caught me, and I hit the ground faster than I could say “Hee-haw”.
Those in a guild may raid twice a week
All in all, the boss fight was above all: teamwork!
As donkeys catch team members, free team members from root prisons, transform comrades and ensure that you don’t spread donkey disease. All of this screams teamwork.
What the boss fight definitely was not, was a consistent sequence of attacks that you simply had to memorize. The boss’s attack patterns changed repeatedly, and even in the second and third attempts we needed, the boss fight was always somewhat different than before.
After the boss is before the boss
After the first boss, there is loot before facing the second, tougher opponent. Here, Murong Yuan awaits, who is full of explosive power.
This boss fight also revolves around teamwork. My group constantly had to clear fire barrels out of the way and then let them be hit by various boss attacks to destroy them. If you don’t do this, there is a major attack later that clears the battlefield and may take the group with it.
After the boss, loot awaits me as well as the extra skill tree. Here, I can distribute skill points for each challenge completed, which makes the boss fight a bit easier next time. The additional raid skill tree ensures that each further run feels like a small power boost. It’s not a complicated progression system, but enough to give the feeling of really getting stronger and more efficient.
Rewards are given for each completed boss
Good or bad, how are the raids?
Where Winds Meet not only tries to attract classic MMORPG fans but also aims to surprise them. Instead of another raid by the book, the game serves up boss fights that rely more on spontaneous teamwork than on memorized rotations. And that makes the first raid so refreshing.
The raids in Where Winds Meet were a lot of fun for my group and me. Anyone hoping for a raid at the highest difficulty level with hours of attempts will not find a home here, but for those looking for a fresh, fun, and team-oriented evening with friends, Where Winds Meet achieves that exactly with its raids.
What I would wish for are proper riding areas instead of isolated boss arenas. A little path, a few trash packs or a second mid-boss would give it more depth. But in the end, teamwork is what counts for me anyway – and that is fortunately clearly the focus here.
Back to the origin
In recent years, raids have increasingly developed into a “dodge and execute the perfect rotation” mode, which Where Winds Meet resolves quite differently with its focus on teamwork. The fact that you also receive substantial rewards, fun mechanics, and an extra skill tree for raid skills makes the mode extra enjoyable.
Where Winds Meet demonstrates with its raids that an MMORPG can still surprise in 2025 – not through pure difficulty, but through creative ideas, humor, and real collaboration. For players tired of endless rotations, who instead want to experience chaos, laughter, and excitement together again, these raids are a real treasure.
Where Winds Meet wants to make as many player groups happy as possible simultaneously, which was one of the good features of theme park MMORPGs. In the meantime, however, the genre has changed, and one player group has been forgotten: Cozy games are the better MMORPGs, and I almost believe it too

In Battlefield 6 the destruction of vehicles and buildings plays a significant role. A player has caused so much damage in a short time that he even received a trophy from the developers.
What did the player get as a prize? The vehicles in Battlefield 6 can actually be completely destroyed. For a competition by EA, players were to submit 30-second clips of gameplay in which they cause as much damage as possible.
The player “Vusal_Mahmudlu” won with his video: He caused damage worth 336,000,000 US dollars (about 290 million euros) and received a gold bar for it, including the engraved name, damage amount, and the signature of the developer Vince Zampella (Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield 6).
Battlefield 6 presents classes, movement, and tactical destruction in the trailer
This is what it’s all about the destruction in Battlefield 6: Even before the release, the developers announced that destruction would be one of the core features of Battlefield 6. This precisely hit the taste of the community, as blowing up buildings or map elements is not only fun but also feels immersive. Additionally, destruction can be used tactically, for example, to open escape routes or eliminate camping spots.
Fans say: Cool, but there was cheating
How did the player achieve such a high value? Vusal_Mahmudlu destroyed a jet and a helicopter in his clip, and then his own jet. On Reddit he explains: Jets are the most expensive targets, with helicopters right behind. “Tanks were about 10 million or so, so it would have been impossible to achieve that much destruction in just 30 seconds with a tank,” he writes.
In his Reddit post, the player shows the trophy and the letter from the development team:

What does the community say? Under the post, some skeptical voices are speaking up. Many players accuse him of having cheated because the scene appears to have been played at increased speed. This allowed his action to fit into a 30-second clip, which was one of the requirements for submitting videos. Additionally, it was said that the clips were not allowed to be edited according to the rules. According to some users, he did not adhere to this.
The comment with the clip has since been deleted on Reddit, and the creator’s profile has been set to private. On X, you can still see the video (as of November 25, 2025, 3 PM).
RAM is getting more expensive. But what options are there if you want to save? MeinMMO has looked at the best options.
The prices for RAM have been rising sharply for several months. But what options are there if you want to save a few euros?
MeinMMO has examined the best possibilities and explains which ones are really worth it and which alternatives you should avoid.
Start video
Valve presents the Steam Machine in the new trailer
Black Friday
How good is the option? To put it briefly: not very good. When it comes to RAM, you can hardly save anything on Black Friday. In particular, on Amazon and other large hardware platforms, you’ll feel the rising prices.
You won’t find any real “genuine” discounts on RAM. Only artificial discounts that look good because sellers have significantly raised their prices shortly before.
Comparison Portals
How good is the option? Moderate to good. If RGB lighting and other accessories don’t matter much to you, you might still find some cheap RAM kits through comparison portals like Idealo or Geizhals with a bit of luck and patience. In a sample, we found 16 GB DDR5 memory for just under 70 euros. That’s actually acceptable in comparison.
But: If you want to upgrade a system, you need compatible memory with similar clock speeds and latencies (CL). Then it can get expensive quickly. However, if you’re building a system from scratch, you’ll be a bit more flexible when buying RAM.
Small kits (8 GB and 16 GB) are also available at a lower price because they are offered much more frequently than kits with larger capacities.
Used Goods on eBay
How good is the option? Moderate. On eBay and other platforms for used goods, you can still have a chance at cheaper RAM. But prices are currently rising sharply here too. Many scalpers are already trying to sell DDR5 memory for 250 euros per 16 GB.
There is also a certain risk that the RAM may be damaged and you won’t have any warranty for the RAM when you buy it used. Nevertheless, with a bit of luck, you can still get RAM cheaper.
Upgrading Old Systems with DDR4
How good is the option? Actually quite good. You can save the most money if you stick to the old DDR4 platform. If you don’t need modern DDR5 memory but older memory, you can actually save money or at least pay less.
While DDR4 has also become more expensive, it hasn’t risen in price nearly as much as DDR5. However, you need to have the compatible CPU socket. For AMD, these are sockets AM4 (DDR4) and AM5 (DDR5): You can read about the differences between sockets AM4 and AM5 on MeinMMO.
For older Intel CPUs, you still have the advantage that they support both DDR4 and DDR5, but not simultaneously. Here, the mainboard is crucial. The LGA 1851 socket, on the other hand, only supports DDR5.
Taking RAM from Friends/Family
How good is the option? If you have good friends or acquaintances who have upgraded their old systems, they might still have old RAM lying around. Here, too, one might be able to strike a good deal without having to pay a lot.
Again, the old RAM must be compatible with your system if you want to add it.
Buying a Gaming PC
How good is the option? Depending on how old your current PC is, buying a new one might be worthwhile. Large manufacturers like Dubaro, CSL, or One.de often purchase hardware in large quantities and therefore get it cheaper, which makes the prices for pre-built PCs lower in shortages than if you buy the components individually. However, the costs for a new PC are usually significantly higher than what RAM alone would cost you.
Buying a new gaming PC just to strip it for RAM afterwards is hardly worthwhile at the moment.
A while ago, the manufacturer G.Skill sold golden RAM for a lot of money. For the golden model, you paid easily 400 euros or more, which is no less than what a mid-range graphics card would cost. But today, the prices aren’t much better: Golden RAM costs almost as much as a graphics card, but is even available

Night City from Cyberpunk 2077 seems at first glance like a kind of futuristic Disneyland for adults, a place of pleasure, consumption, and excess. However, there are various aspects where the dystopia shines through the garish veneer of the city, which we want to show you in this list.
There is hardly a better way to describe daily life in Night City than with “Stan, the Man,” the radio host of the morning news from Night City, who welcomes players in front of the home screen in Cyberpunk 2077 with fresh news of the day:
Good morning, Night City!
Yesterday’s corpse lottery ended with a solid and robust number of thirty!Ten of them in Heywood – thanks to the unabated gang wars!One cop is dead, so you’re all probably screwed, because the NCPD is NOT going to let this slide.
In Santo Domingo, there was another power outage. The netrunners are back at work, drilling holes in the power grid.Meanwhile, the trauma team is scraping cyberpsycho victims off the sidewalk in Westbrook.And in Pacifica … Well … Pacifica is still Pacifica.
That’s it for me, Stan! Join me for another day in our city of dreams!
This “city of dreams” seems at first glance to many to be a city full of endless possibilities, decadence, and hedonism. Colorful neon signs full of absurd purchasing options, body modifications for superhuman powers, and a backdrop of sounds ranging from excited advertising calls to lascivious moans.
Night City seems like a playground of excess where the player wants to let loose. Those who make a name for themselves and gain wealth can have a lot of fun. However, a large part of the regular residents would view it quite differently.
Start video
Cyberpunk 2077: The Ultimate Edition trailer shows a ‘City of Dreams’
In the book “The World of Cyberpunk 2077”, which is written like a kind of “Night City Times” from the real world of the game, the editor Thompson writes the following about society in 2077: “Modern society has a rigid class system. Forget the three-tier model. Upper, middle, and lower class? That might have existed at the beginning of the century. Today we only have two classes – upper and lower class.”
Therefore, there are those who have power in Night City, which includes not only corporations but also the big names of the resistance movement, in the form of fixers and Edgerunners. However, there are also countless and mostly people who are simply trying to survive in a world not made for them. And why Night City can be seen more as a nightmare than a “city of dreams” we want to bring to you in this list.
An overloaded city with too little livable space
Night City is extremely overcrowded and compact, which is why the city is known for its vertical buildings and infrastructure due to its density. The city consists of several levels with streets, buildings, and air traffic to make use of the space even above the ground.
No matter where you are in Night City, instead of a horizon in the distance, you find this at the end of a skyscraper in the sky (if it’s not blocked by streets, flying transports, or screens).
Entrance to the megabuilding (Artist: Krzysztof Olborski, Principal Environment Artist at ArtStation)
The massive and gigantic residential blocks, called megabuildings, are also a sign of this space shortage. V from the game and David from the anime Edgerunners live in these blocks, which you have to navigate through unsightly and dangerous alleys. These complexes can house thousands of apartments, with the lower, cheaper living units consisting of overcrowded single rooms, while the upper floors house luxurious penthouses. All units are, of course, also equipped with wall-mounted vending machines, so you can buy packaged food in your cozy home at any time … and speaking of food …

On December 11, 2025, Ashes of Creation will launch in Early Access on Steam. MeinMMO summarizes what you can expect from this early version, and what not.
How finished is the Early Access of Ashes of Creation? Currently, the MMORPG from Intrepid is in the third phase of Alpha Two. At some point in 2026, the game is expected to enter beta. There is currently no foreseeable time frame for a final release of Ashes of Creation.
For the Early Access version of Ashes of Creation, which starts on December 11, 2025, on Steam, this means: If you secure a Steam version of the game for 42 to 50 US dollars (there should be a small discount at launch) starting in December, you will land in an unfinished alpha, which is still many months away from reflecting the final player experience.
In the official announcement on ashesofcreation.com, the developers also warn:
Ashes of Creation is currently in the active alpha testing phase, which means many systems are still changing and may be subject to alterations. Testers should expect unstable builds, incomplete content, placeholder elements, and regular balance adjustments. If necessary, realm wipes will be performed to support testing and data collection.
The Early Access environment is deliberately kept raw and designed for iterations. It is more of a testing environment than a polished game. Participation in this phase is invaluable as we identify issues, evaluate performance, gather feedback, and strengthen the foundation of the game for future betas.
Since you are generally allowed to return a game on Steam only within 14 days of purchase and with a maximum of 2 hours of gameplay – which is far too little for an MMORPG – we will tell you below what content Ashes of Creation is expected to offer at the start of Early Access.
Start video
Ashes of Creation: Trailer shows gameplay of the rogue class
These contents are part of Early Access
A large, open world with various biomes, beautiful locations, and an immersive atmosphere
The two starting areas Riverlands and “The Anvils”
In the world, you encounter all kinds of monsters, as well as small (instanced) and large (open) dungeons and dangerous world bosses
A hybrid combat system with action and tab-target elements
Access to 8 archetype classes that can take on different roles such as tank, healer, ranged, or frontliner, and which already have an exciting dynamic among themselves in group fights (Bard, Tank, Cleric, Fighter, Ranger, Mage, Rogue, Summoner)
You can gather many resources and craft items – while the professions are interdependent, no one can build everything
There are already a variety of PvP content such as caravans, changing PvP zones around special locations, or goods transport via sea routes combined with piracy
A debut: the contents of the Harbinger update (with Summoner class, Harbinger Corruption event, people of Ren’Kai, mules, fishing on the open sea, and more)
Through the monster coin system, you can loot coins during the event of the same name, which allow you to transform into monsters and, for example, take on the role of a raid boss.
Bugs, performance issues, crashes, poor balancing… expect a variety of technical problems, this is an alpha
Recommended editorial content
At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.
I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms.
Read more about our privacy policy.
The following contents have been announced but are not yet part of the alpha version of Ashes of Creation:
Max level 50 (currently, you can only level up to 25), likewise you cannot maximize the professions or acquire the best possible equipment, which are planned for the launch version
Node upgrade level 5 (metropolis) and all associated content (such as raids and the final version of node sieges), as well as the different node types (economy, military, science, religion)
Further visual variations (based on the different races of the game) for the node upgrade levels
(Instanced) housing
Kingdoms with king’s castles and the possibility of becoming the king or queen of a kingdom, including castle sieges
The 8 class archetypes cannot yet be finally combined with each other
In principle, for all interested parties for whom the current (and similarly paid) alpha phase has already been exciting. So for MMORPG enthusiasts who want to help shape a still unfinished game with potential into a polished and finished product by the official launch with their feedback and testing rounds.
However, if you are currently looking for a well-playable and fun alternative to the well-known MMORPGs, you should still avoid the Early Access of Ashes of Creation. The same goes for anyone who has no desire for PvP content or a sandbox structure. Ashes of Creation is neither a WoW nor a Final Fantasy XIV.
What else do I need to know about Ashes of Creation? Ashes of Creation is a sandbox MMORPG in a fantasy setting, set in a vast open world. You fight against world bosses and compete against each other in PvP. Additionally, there should be a system where you level areas, raise villages and towns, and change sections of the game world – the so-called “Nodes”. Development on the MMORPG began in 2015. You can read more about this here: Release, roadmap, Alpha 2, classes, gameplay, payment model – everything important about the MMORPG Ashes of Creation.

After many years, the ladies of World of Warcraft finally get pretty chain bikinis. But everyone else can wear them too.
If there is one thing that WoW players want, then it is transmog. Preferably a lot of it, and when they think it’s enough, then one more item. Accordingly, the joy was over 3 years ago when chain bikinis were found in the game data – which never appeared, however. But now something has changed, and it is clear: Soon they will be available at the trading post.
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What was found? In the game data for the upcoming patch 11.2.7, a small change was discovered by data miners at wowhead. Because some “chain bikinis” now finally have a source associated with the item: the trading post. Even though there is still no specific date recognizable, there is finally certainty that the chain bikinis will come in the near future. The current price is estimated to be 150 trader currencies.
However, it is still not clear in which month the chain bikinis will be available at the trading post. Blizzard usually reveals that only shortly before.
Finally within reach, the highly sought-after “Kettinis”. Image source: wowhead
What are these items? The chain bikinis, or “Kettinis,” are exactly what the name suggests: bikinis to which chains have been attached. Whether these are really protective steel chains or if one just wanted to have a fishnet look is something everyone can decide for themselves.
As is usual in World of Warcraft, the Kettinis can be worn by all characters, so even men can dress in them.
Yes, men can wear it too. Stylish! Image source: wowhead
How long have they been in the game? The chain bikinis have been in the game data of World of Warcraft for quite some time – namely, for almost 3 years, shortly after the launch of Dragonflight. Back then, it was thought that these bikinis would be part of patch 10.0.5 – which was not the case. After two patches later still nothing was seen of the chain bikinis, they became a little forgotten.
In World of Warcraft, there was a time when bikinis and rather revealing clothing were viewed quite critically, as the developers realized during Cataclysm that they had gone overboard. Chris Metzen explained at the time at BlizzCon that his daughter had asked him during the closing video of the Dragon Soul raid why all the women were wearing bathing suits.
Although the move was welcomed at the time, there are already voices wishing for more feminine clothing items in the game again, as discussed recently in the WoW subreddit.
In the meantime, Blizzard has returned to introducing more diverse clothing into the game, especially with the introduction of the trading post, but as always with transmog options in the game: Fans always want more, and the wardrobe can never be full enough. Exactly for such customization lovers the Haranir are a dream – that is the new race in WoW Midnight.

The surprise hit Wednesday was a big success for Netflix. After the 2nd season started in summer 2025, Netflix immediately announced the 3rd season of the series. You can find all the information about release, trailer, and cast at MeinMMO.
Update: The article was updated on November 26, 2025, with the casting of Aunt Ophelia.
What is Wednesday? Wednesday is a spin-off of the Addams Family and focuses on Wednesday Addams, who ends up at Nevermore Academy due to her behavior.
There she is not only confronted with new friends and subjects. Enemies and dangers related to her family’s past threaten her safety.
When is the release date for Wednesday Season 3? The exact release date for Wednesday Season 3 is currently unknown. In August 2025, Netflix announced that the series would continue with Season 3.
Originally, production for the 3rd season was supposed to begin in fall 2025, but as The Economic Times reports, production is now expected to start in the 2nd quarter of 2026. It is therefore quite unlikely that Season 3 will be released in 2026.
There was almost a 3-year gap between the first and second seasons.
You can find the trailer for Season 2 here:

Wednesday Season 3: Trailer, Stream, and Cast
Is there a trailer for Wednesday Season 3? Since production has not started yet, there is also no trailer for the 3rd season of Wednesday.
Who is streaming Wednesday Season 3? Currently, Wednesday Season 3 has not been released. Since Netflix produces the series, it will also be available for streaming there at release.
Cast and Crew: Who is in the cast of Wednesday Season 3? So far, there is no specific information available. Jenna Ortega will reprise her lead role as Wednesday. In Netflix’s official announcement, it mentions seeing more of the Addams Family.
One can thus assume that the actors playing the family members will return as well.
We now know about a new family member. As Deadline reports, Eva Green will take on the role of Aunt Ophelia. She was a character who was constantly mentioned in season 2. Her back could already be seen in the finale of last season.
What is known about the plot of Wednesday Season 3? So far, nothing is known here either. As in the previous two seasons, the familiar characters are expected to be further explored. In addition, the world surrounding Nevermore and the Addams Family is to be expanded. The family’s secrets are also set to play a role.

Live event to end Chapter 6 will be gigantic
When does the live event start? The live event “Zero Hour” begins on November 29 at 8:00 PM German time. Entry is allowed 40 minutes before the start. It is advisable to log in a few hours before the start to avoid getting into a queue and missing the event.

A content creator streams his ambitious challenge on Twitch. Not only has he raised a considerable sum for his daughter, but in the end, he also won.
What success does the content creator celebrate? Content creator UKOG participated in a 24-hour endurance race in the racing simulation Assetto Corsa Competizione. He faced a truly remarkable personal and physical, as well as mentally challenging challenge, which he not only completed, but also won the race.
He streamed his attempt on Twitch to simultaneously raise donations for his disabled daughter Alba. With his stream, he was able to raise over £15,000, which he hopes to use to provide his child with a better life by also legally advocating for the help that his daughter needs.
The challenge he set for himself was not only meant to test his nerves but also required him to achieve a remarkable physical performance, which he was more than willing to endure for his daughter.
A summary of his success can be seen here:

What exactly was the challenge? During his participation, he faced several challenges that were quite demanding. The race was not only supposed to last for 24 hours straight, but he also started as a solo participant.
What is usually done in teams of 5 – 6 drivers who take turns to enjoy break times, he did alone. This also meant: driving for 24 hours straight. Without real breaks. Because there were no team members with whom he could switch.
His breaks were therefore regularly composed of 30-second pit stops, during which the AI changed his tires. During this time, he could go to the restroom, eat something, or just take a short breather.
That he ultimately won the race is a remarkable achievement, which also won the hearts of the community and brought him and his daughter over £15,000. In addition, he even received a placement for the fastest lap among the competitors.

What is this new class? The developers of Black Desert Online have announced their next class for the MMORPG. While they have not revealed the name of the class yet, the community has been referring to it as “Savior” or “Seraph” for quite some time. Whether this is its correct name or if the developers will choose a different one remains a mystery for a few more weeks.
The class is set to be officially introduced on December 13, 2025. The developers will reveal not only the name of the class but also its abilities and what it can do. This new class will be the 31st in the game, which offers more variety compared to other MMORPG peers.The exact release date for the class is not yet determined, but it could still be in 2025.

What is happening in Black Desert Online? The MMORPG recently landed in controversy. The developers had launched an event that contained an error. Players who benefited from the error, whether knowingly or not, lost their items and, in some cases, a lot of silver as well.
Rockstar, the studio behind GTA 6, recently announced the dismissal of around 34 employees due to “gross misconduct”. An insider has now revealed the relevant chats of the discussions primarily responsible on Discord.
What was shared in the Discord conversations? According to a report from the YouTube channel People Make Games, a non-dismissed insider made accessible chat logs that allegedly contributed to the dismissal of around 34 employees at GTA developer Rockstar.
The discussions reportedly took place on a Discord server of the representatives of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB), which also includes the union of Rockstar. Members and employees of the studio were said to have primarily exchanged information regarding working conditions and the general workplace atmosphere. There were reportedly no leaks or exchanges of details that should have remained confidential.
Instead, the issue primarily revolved around a change in the company’s own Slack channels, where channels covering private topics such as pets or leisure activities were removed, as the employer deemed them to restrict productivity. This led to considerable uproar among the company’s employees and vibrant discussions on Discord.
The problem was reportedly less about the content of the messages themselves. Instead, it seems that a specific detail led to the dismissals.

Internal email may be responsible for dismissals
What does the insider say led to the dismissals? The report further states that it is believed that the sharing of an internal email on this very topic was the trigger for the dismissals. Emails were generally only accessible in the office, and the one that announced these changes to Slack was sent out just before the end of the workday.
As a result, some employees reportedly shared parts of the email with their colleagues on Discord, initiating the discussion. Subsequently, at least one employee is said to have approached upper management and arranged for the management to gain access to the Discord server. Shortly thereafter, dismissals were made that affected the very employees who were believed to be involved in this conversation.
The timing of the sharing and the subsequent dismissals is also said to match suspiciously. According to IWGB President Alex Marshall, the union believes that the server is in a legally sound state and that no unauthorized information was shared there.
In light of these developments, People Make Games also reached out to Rockstar for a statement, which the channel claims was declined.
