You bought the PS5 and are considering subscribing to “PS Plus”, but you don’t know how to cancel PS Plus? Or you purchased PS Plus and now want to cancel or change the subscription. MeinMMO provides you with all the important information about PlayStation Plus.
What is PS Plus? PS Plus is a paid service from Sony Interactive Entertainment. A subscription costs on average 60 Euros. Sony has now introduced a new “PS Plus” model. All information about the new PS Plus can be found directly with us.
The article was published in November 2020. At the launch of the new PS Plus, we thoroughly revised the article on June 29, 2022. We have added information and exchanged links.
How much does PS Plus cost? As of now (June 2022), there are three subscription models for PS Plus:
PS Plus Essential: 8.99 Euros per month, 24.99 Euros for 3 months or 59.99 for 12 months.
PS Plus Extra: 13.99 Euros per month, 39.99 Euros for 3 months or 99.99 Euros for 12 months.
PS Plus Premium: 16.99 Euros per month, 49.99 Euros for 3 months or 119.99 Euros for 12 months
You regularly get good offers for PS Plus, saving you usually several Euros. These include Sony’s “Days of Play”, Prime Day at Amazon, or Black Friday deals.
What benefits does PS Plus offer me? PS Plus provides you with various advantages, which we want to list here:
You need PS Plus, for example, to play certain games in multiplayer. Without a subscription, you won’t have access to multiplayer.
You get access to PSN cloud storage, where you can automatically back up your save data.
As a PS Plus member, you typically get 3 games each month as a digital download in the PlayStation Store at no additional cost. Usually, 2 games are for PS4 and one game is exclusive to PS5.
You also receive discounts on certain games and special deals in the official PlayStation Store. During the “Double Discounts” promotion in the PS Store, you always save real money with PS Plus.
With the more expensive subscription models PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium, you also get access to additional free games. We present all the games again in the following article:
During the last Days of Play, you could save 30% on PS Plus. Sony regularly offers such deals.
Cancel or change PS Plus – Here’s how
You have subscribed to PS Plus but want to cancel or don’t want the subscription to renew automatically? MeinMMO explains what you need to pay attention to.
Cancel PS Plus on PC or mobile: On PC and mobile, you go through any browser. In the browser, you do the following:
For PS Plus, select “disable auto-renewal”. This will stop your subscription from renewing.
Cancel “PS Plus” subscription on PS5: On the PS5, it’s even simpler, as you can do it directly on the console:
On the PS5, go to Settings and then select “Account”.
Then select “Payment and Subscriptions” and here “Subscriptions”.
Here, select PS Plus and choose “disable auto-renewal”.
PS Plus – How long does my subscription last? This way you can check how long your subscription still runs:
On the PS5, go to Settings and select “Account”.
Then select “Payment and Subscriptions” and here “Subscriptions”.
In the next window, you will find an overview of all subscriptions and select “PlayStation Plus” here.
Here you will see all the information about the subscription, including the expiration date.
PS Plus cancellation: When will I get my money back?
When do you get your money back? If you purchased a “PS Plus” subscription in the PlayStation Store, you can cancel the subscription within 14 days.
To do this, you need to contact Sony Support directly; direct cancellation is not possible. Whether the cancellation is successful depends solely on whether you applied for cancellation within the 14 days.
If it works, you will be refunded in the form of PSN credit. You can then use this credit, for example, for a few strong PS5 games at the launch of the console:
What happens when you cancel? All games in the “PS Plus” subscription are provided to you for free. However, this also means that you lose access to all games as soon as the subscription expires.
This also applies to the PS Plus Collection, which PS5 players can receive for free. If you end your subscription, you also lose access to the games and the cloud storage where your save data is stored.
When can I play again? If you subscribe to a new plan, you can, as usual, access the titles again and also use the cloud storage.
This applies, by the way, to all free games. If you have secured the monthly “PS Plus” games, then all games are available to you again.
If you have subscribed to PS Plus, you can also get 20 games for your PS5 for free. Here, we explain how it works:
‘Showtime!’ is a fan magazine about Persona 5 and by fans of the Japanese role-playing game. It has come to light that the creator has squandered over €20,000 in pre-order funds for personal purposes, including gambling on Genshin Impact.
Lovers of Persona 5 wanted to bring a so-called ‘fanzine’ (that is, a fan magazine) about their beloved Japanese role-playing game to the market. With beautiful illustrations and popular characters, the fanzine ‘Showtime!’ promotes itself as a “fan anthology focusing on the rivalry between Joker and Crow from Persona 5, containing illustrations, comics, and fanfiction.”
This was well received in the community, and the fanzine was able to raise a lot of money through pre-orders in advance. However, it has now come to light that the creator and head moderator of Showtime, Teresa “Ree” Dube, has spent over €20,000 of leftover funds for personal purposes. This includes rent, plush toys, and prayers in Genshin Impact.
In this video, you can see which characters are worth spending real money on in Genshin Impact:

“She lied to the moderation team”
What was the money used for? Ree is said to have spent pre-order funds from her own fanzine amounting to 27,625.10 Canadian dollars. This is approximately €20,420.
In an official statement, the other contributors of the fanzine said the following:
She has lied to the moderation team and went so far as to assure individual mods that nothing had been stolen, and provided misleading and outdated banking screenshots to indicate that all funds were available. Ree only admitted to spending the money for personal use after she had completely depleted the funds and could no longer fulfill other moderators’ requests for shipping costs.
In an interview with GamesRadar, Ree admitted that she did what she is accused of. She states that she spent part of the funds on Genshin Impact, as well as on food, rent, and other “frivolous products” like plush toys and other fanzines. Showtime stated that Ree has refunded 3,000 Canadian dollars of the money. For this, she had to take out a loan.
From the other responsible parties of the fanzine, it is said, “it should not be mentioned that Ree has been removed from the project and will have no further connection to Showtime.”
What are the consequences for the magazine? It is unclear how much money the fanzine was able to generate exactly before Ree spent over €20,000 of it herself. However, the official statement states that 850 pre-orders went out, but the outstanding 763 could not be produced immediately after the funds were embezzled. This suggests that the stolen €20,000 corresponds to about half of the money raised.
To deliver the remaining fanzines to the buyers, the Showtime team is organizing a fundraising campaign. They want to use this money to fulfill the outstanding pre-orders from the fanzine.
This apparently worked: another 750 zine orders and enough donations for the group came in to pay more contributors who will help with shipping the orders.

In Escape from Tarkov it’s all about collecting loot like gear and weapons. However, every 6 months, every player completely loses the progress they have made, and today is that day. What’s behind it?
What distinguishes the shooter? In Escape from Tarkov, you start on a map, collect loot, and then extract it. The risk is that if you die, you also lose the gear and weapons you brought into the raid. This principle and the associated “Gear-Fear” is responsible for the fact that a raid in this hardcore shooter promises special tension.
Why are players excited? Players gather tons of loot over a period of up to 6 months and complete missions. Over time, they have lots of good gear that can not only save them from death but also fill their stash. This creates difficulties in fitting the new loot in.
The abundance of the stash and the absence of numerous deaths leads to the fact that after a few months, it is often read in the Tarkov community that players are waiting for a so-called wipe, which completely resets the progress achieved.
With the wipe, Tarkov actually sets itself apart from the competition. Because although more and more games are being inspired by Escape from Tarkov and rely on an extraction mechanic, not all of them have a wipe. A prominent example is Hunt: Showdown.
Recently, Battlestate Games announced great news and introduced Escape from Tarkov Arena as a standalone game:

Date for Wipe in Escape from Tarkov is set
When is the wipe? On the morning of today, June 29, the servers of Escape from Tarkov went offline at 09:00. As developer Battlestate Games announced, the downtime will last 5 hours. The servers are expected to be back online at 14:00.
With the end of the downtime, patch 0.12.12.30 will be available, which according to the official patch notes on escapefromtarkov.com brings the latest wipe.

What’s included in the patch? In addition to the wipe eagerly awaited by Tarkov fans, today’s patch will also provide some exciting new content. MeinMMO lists the highlights:
Release of the new Lighthouse location
three new bosses
new offline co-op mode for owners of the “Edge of Darkness” game version
Overhaul of movement animations
Daily tasks for player scavs
New type of daily tasks (finding items like medicine and food)
In addition to the new location, bosses, and daily tasks, new weapons will also be added to Escape from Tarkov.

Accuracy International AXMC sniper rifle
MP-18 single-shot rifle

SAG AK carbine

Escape from Tarkov has established itself as a shooter on the market in 2022 and after a wipe, it regularly ranks as a highly viewed title on the streaming platform Twitch. But if you don’t like the hardcore shooter gameplay or need a break from extraction shooters, feel free to check out the list of the best shooters of 2022 on MeinMMO.
Do you want to buy a PS5? There are currently increasing indications that tomorrow both Media Markt and Saturn as well as Amazon might finally be ready after a long time. We at MeinMMO present you with all the important information you need for that.
Update on June 29 at 11:42 AM: Again everything sold out at Amazon. This time the offered quantity was significantly smaller. Presumably, these were previously canceled orders from double and multiple orders.
Update on June 29 at 11:25 AM: That might not be it at Amazon yet. The Horizon bundle is available again!
Update on June 29 at 09:50 AM: The Amazon quota is sold out. The Horizon bundle was available for almost 20 minutes. Did you have success?
Next, we are keeping a close eye on Media Markt and Saturn. It would not be the first time that they drop on the same day as Amazon.
Update on June 29 at 08:50 AM: At the Horizon bundle on Amazon.de the famous “Prime spoiler” has reappeared. This usually indicates that the respective PS5 product will be sold soon. Make sure to add this bundle to your wishlist for ordering from there. If the cart button doesn’t appear immediately, click on “All offers”. Make sure to select the correct bundle and not one of the warehouse offers.
What are these indications at Media Markt and Saturn? Just last Wednesday, new PS5 bundles were listed at the two sister companies Media Markt and Saturn. These are identical at both retailers.
Also, the so-called “availability traffic lights” can now be found on the individual console and bundle product pages of both retailers. The appearance of these has almost always indicated a soon drop in the past.
In addition to these quite clear indicators, the fact that the last drop from both retailers was exactly 40 days ago – and thus unusually long – is a clear indication that something should finally happen soon.
What are these indications at Amazon?And even at Amazon Germany the last drop was already a hefty 26 days ago.
However, it is somewhat curious that the e-commerce giant has been selling the sought-after console abroad in Europe over the past few weeks. So there have been two drops each in the last 14 days from Amazon IT, UK, and FR.
As Wednesday has so far been the clearly preferred drop day of the retailer, we are quite hopeful for tomorrow, June 29, that it might finally be the time again. If so, the sale will most likely start between 9:00 and 11:00 AM.
How to Increase Your Chances for a Drop Right Now
Here’s what you should do: Add the PS5 or the corresponding bundles to your reminder or wishlist at Media Markt, Saturn, and Amazon right now. This way, you will often be able to access the bundles faster during the sale.
At Amazon, a Prime membership has so far been mandatory for PS5 sales. It states on the product pages that Prime members have “priority access,” but experience suggests that the offers are always gone so quickly that other people don’t get a chance to buy. You can also test Amazon Prime for 30 days for free.
Even one and a half years after the market launch, the PlayStation 5 is still an absolute rarity. Accordingly, the joy is certainly great when there are finally drops or sales events at reputable retailers again.

Where can I find the PS5 on Amazon? This notice has only appeared on the product page of the Horizon bundles. However, it cannot be ruled out that further bundles and possibly also the digital version of the console will be offered and sold with this.
Update from June 29 at 11:42 AM: Everything is sold out again at Amazon. This time, the amount offered was significantly smaller. Presumably, these were previously canceled orders from double and multiple orders.
Update from June 29 at 11:25 AM: This is probably not over yet at Amazon. The Horizon bundle is available again!
Update from June 29 at 09:50 AM: The Amazon quota is sold out. The Horizon bundle was available for almost 20 minutes. Did you have success?
Next, we will keep a close eye on Media Markt and Saturn. It wouldn’t be the first time they drop on the same day as Amazon. Check our ticker for further updates.
When does the sale start on Amazon? It is expected that the PS5 consoles will be available on Amazon on June 29, 2022 – a typical day for drops from the retailer. The sale is expected to take place in the early morning, between 9:00 and 11:00 AM. Therefore, you should be near your computer or at least have a mobile phone within reach in the morning if you want a chance.
How can I increase my chances? Add the Horizon bundle to your wishlist on Amazon now. This often allows you to get through the order process faster during the sale.
Prime has been essential for PS5 drops on Amazon
For the upcoming drop, you should be a Prime member. While it is said that Prime members have “priority access”, the offers go so quickly that other people don’t get a chance to buy at all. You can also test Amazon Prime for free for 30 days.
Didn’t get a PS5? If you didn’t get a PS5, then be sure to check out our ticker. Here we keep you updated daily and explain how to best get a PS5 and show you drops related to the desired console.

Many fans confirm that Immortal is definitely worth the time, especially for a free game. You just shouldn’t compare yourself with the top players and “whales”:
The user bigfoot509 presents a very nuanced opinion and explains that no one would simply overlook the monetization. Only the way the discussion is conducted is not productive:
Even the hardest supporters of Diablo Immortal see that the monetization is ruthlessly hellish. But it has already been said 4 billion times.
Repeating that is just criticizing the people who like the game. It seems like you think: If you just repeat it often enough, people will eventually wake up and thank you for freeing them.
Some fear that similar systems will also creep into future titles like Diablo 4. Whether that will happen remains to be seen. Meanwhile, other players simply exploit the mechanics to turn the tide:

Is it okay to like a game that relies on questionable monetization? This is the very question currently on the minds of hundreds of users on reddit and many players of Diablo Immortal. And they come to interesting conclusions.
This is what’s happening in the community: Diablo Immortal is under heavy criticism for some of its systems. The monetization, in particular, is at the center of complaints. For instance, it is said to cost 511,000 euros to max out a character.
The discussion is being primarily held in the community. Critics and fans meet here, both wanting to make their position clear. Some try to convince others, and a consensus seems impossible. Upon release, there were even mockery for the critics.
In a thread on reddit, a player explains with a meme that Diablo Immortal can indeed be fun if you simply stop comparing yourself to the best players. This led to a longer discussion and raised some eyebrows over specific criticisms.
Part of the complaints is also that Diablo Immortal is simply not diverse enough. But repetitive grind is part of Diablo, fans defend. And they even explain that Immortal does that better than celebrated predecessors like Diablo 2.
“Crazy. People are complaining about repetition in a Diablo game”
How did this comparison come about? The discussion quickly turned to the contents of Diablo Immortal. As typical for the genre, improvement is associated with a lot of grind. You need to repeatedly complete dungeons or similar activities to get loot.
A significant part of the criticism points out that there are loot limits in Diablo Immortal and that the game itself has not received any updates or new content even 4 weeks after release. At least the update is due, but it will likely take some time.
The user boomstickjonny comments that at some point, “the fun will run out.” There will come a point when you simply don’t want to continue, as others explain.
However, fans of the genre cannot fully understand the criticism. It’s just like it was before – even better. User daymeeuhn compares: “Diablo 2 was literally Baal runs for 20,000 hours. Diablo 3 was Greater Rifts and bounties for 20,000 hours. [Diablo Immortal] even has more options than the two.”
What makes Immortal better than Diablo 2? Another user addresses the criticism that it would take a long time to get good equipment: “Sure, dude, but start a fresh character in Diablo 2 and tell me when you have Occy, Shako, Tal’s Armor, and a Maras. I bet it takes longer than getting the legendaries you want in [Immortal].” (via reddit.com)
Following this comment, IllTenaciousTortoise elaborates on the arguments why Immortal is better:
We have more content and options for progression. Cool legendaries that actually drop.
There are many things that bother me about Diablo Immortal, but content and drops aren’t among them. Paragon 48. No wasted progress. No wasted gear.
Damn, the things that bothered me about Diablo 2 were never fixed. Or the things that bothered me about Diablo 3. I hope the expansion will be as good as D3’s. We still need the cube.
In the end, it is about personal preference and the personal pain threshold of how much grind one is willing to endure. However, Immortal has many defenders, at least in this regard. Because the Pay2Win factor is at least one point on which critics and even most fans agree.
“Even the biggest supporters criticize the monetization”
The topic of monetization and Pay2Win is the actual trigger for the thread. It was about having fun in Immortal if you simply don’t compare yourself to the top players.
Some fear that similar systems will also creep into future titles like Diablo 4. Whether that will happen remains to be seen. Meanwhile, other players simply exploit the mechanics to turn the tide:

In Pokémon GO you can expect a new research breakthrough in July that brings you the Pokémon Slurp. We at MeinMMO will show you what kind of monster it is, whether it’s worth it, and how the community feels about the new research breakthrough.
What is a research breakthrough? In Pokémon GO, you have the opportunity to receive field research tasks by spinning at the PokéStop. These are monthly changing tasks through which you can receive daily rewards, such as items or encounters with Pokémon.
For each day you complete at least one of the quests, you will receive a corresponding stamp in the “Field” view, above the tasks. Once you have collected 7 stamps, you will receive a research breakthrough and can look forward to another reward in the form of an encounter with a selected Pokémon. In July, Slurp will be waiting for you in the research breakthrough.
Research breakthrough with Slurp – Duration and Shiny
How long is Slurp in the research breakthrough? The research breakthrough changes monthly. For this reason, you can catch Slurp from July 1, 2022, at 10:00 PM local time until August 1, 2022, at 10:00 PM local time. Before that, you can expect the Steel Pokémon Klikk in the research breakthrough for June until July 1, 2022.
What kind of Pokémon is Slurp? Slurp is a Normal-type Pokémon from the first generation. With the help of 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone, you can evolve it into Slurpuff. You can recognize Slurp by its strong pink body and long tongue.
Besides the research breakthrough in July, you can occasionally encounter Slurp in field or special research tasks as well as find it in the wild during partly cloudy weather. Occasionally, you can also challenge it in raids.
Can you catch Shiny Slurp? Yes, with a bit of luck, you may encounter a shiny Slurp. This differs from the normal form by a gold-yellow body.
Slurp and Slurpuff normal (top) and as Shiny (bottom)
Is the research breakthrough with Slurp worth it?
How strong is it: Slurp can especially impress with its stamina values. Its attack and defense are not so good. Its evolution Slurpuff is slightly better here and can take a bit more in battle than Slurp.
For use in raids, neither of the two Pokémon is suitable, so you should rather rely on the best attackers in Pokémon GO. However, the situation is different in the GO Battle League.
Especially in the Super League, Slurp can really score with a move combination of Lick, Body Slam, and Grass Knot. In the Ultra League, Slurpuff is among the very best with a moveset of Lick, Body Slam, and Shadow Ball (via pvpoke.com).
However, please note that Body Slam is an event move. Currently, you can only learn it for both Slurp and Slurpuff with the help of a Charged TM.
Is Slurp worth it? Slurp is particularly worthwhile for trainers still searching for a strong attacker in the GO Battle League.
However, those who already have a strong Slurp or Slurpuff can at least secure a few additional candies, which is why you should definitely take advantage of the research breakthrough. And shiny hunters can also look forward to a shiny Slurp with a bit of luck.
Slurp causes divided opinions in the community
In the reddit community, there is currently lively discussion about the announced contents and events for July. And Slurp is also a topic here, sparking very different opinions among trainers. You can find both positive and negative feedback on the planned research breakthrough (via reddit.com):
NervousLittleSheep: “Who always picks these field research Pokémon? I could stand no more legendary ones if they didn’t keep picking such mediocre [Pokémon] like Klikk and Slurp. Well, at least Slurp has a nice Shiny.”
spoofrice11: “Doesn’t look that exciting… We’ve gone from legendary to rare Pokémon to Slurp in the weekly reward boxes. They might as well get rid of those.”
NaeKidsNaeProbs: “Slurp for the breakthrough? Really? Lol. You might as well give us a Zubat or something.”
josh123z: “Slurp is a rare Pokémon, at least for me. I’ve found 2 of them in the 2 years I’ve been playing.”
Stogoe: “Honestly, Slurp is one of the strongest Pokémon for PvP, and the IVs of a research Slurp aren’t that bad.”
BigThomsd: “I’m kind of excited about Slurp as a breakthrough. I still need the Shiny.”
But why are the reactions so different? The feedback from trainers largely depends on how long each player has been involved with Pokémon GO. In the past, there have always been events where Slurp could also be found on a larger scale.
Therefore, those who have been around longer have had many more opportunities to encounter this Pokémon and obtain a strong and/or shiny specimen. Additionally, Slurp and its evolution are particularly interesting for trainers who are also active in the GO Battle League.
What do you think about the research breakthrough with Slurp in July? Are you excited about the Pokémon? Are you hoping for a Shiny? Or have you had enough of the monster and were hoping for a better Pokémon? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.
The questing in World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King Classic is becoming harder. Because a quest feature will not come.
Update 29.06.2022, 10:30 AM: In the meantime, Blizzard has commented on this. The information from the interview seems outdated, and the quest tracking tool will probably be implemented in WoW WotLK Classic after all. Thanks to mibbio and Huehuehue for the tip.
Original message: Quests in World of Warcraft are not exactly hard – at least not in today’s time. Markers on the map indicate exactly where to go to complete quests. But that was not always the case and only came with Wrath of the Lich King. However, this will not happen a second time, as WotLK Classic will forgo this feature.
Where does the info come from? Originally, the information comes from an interview at the end of April with the magazine GameRant, but it only gained real attention now. In the interview, Blizzard discussed some changes that were indeed implemented in Wrath of the Lich King – whether at launch or in a later patch – but will not be reintroduced in the Classic version of WotLK. One of these features is the quest helper.
What is this feature? The “Quest Helper” functionality has become standard in modern World of Warcraft and almost all other major MMORPGs. When you accept a quest, the quest objective is marked directly on the map. In the case of World of Warcraft, there is a bluish target area that shows exactly where the monsters to hunt or the items to collect are located. This is now standard in MMOs and is found in almost every larger game. It was not always like that; before, you had to read quest texts to find out the location – or despair and consult the internet.
The feature was originally introduced with Patch 3.3.0, so quite late in the lifecycle of Wrath of the Lich King.
Some hope for a real series of World of Warcraft – inspired by this advertisement:
Start video
New live-action clip gives hope for WoW: “This is how a Warcraft series should look”
Does it make that big of a difference? Probably not. Addons that help with quests are already very popular in Classic. Especially the addon “Questie” has already been used by many players in WoW Classic and Burning Crusade Classic and is actively being developed. The addon comprehensively shows where there are still open quests, to which locations players need to travel for quest completion, and even particularly efficient routes can be determined with the right settings.
More about World of Warcraft Classic can be found here:
Nevertheless, this change primarily means more freedom. Because now players basically have a choice whether they want to use such a quest helper or not. Even if a large part of the players will use addons like “Questie”, a small portion of players who want a more puristic experience in the open world can choose to forgo it.
What do you think about it? A good thing? Or is Blizzard distancing itself further from Wrath of the Lich King – and is that bad?

Fortune’s Keep brings many changes for Call of Duty: Warzone – which excites many players. However, with the new map, an old problem is returning.The story is available on MeinMMO.
The map has been positively received by many players so far, but it also brings back an old glitch from previous maps.
When the glitch will be fixed is currently unclear.
Players are glitching through walls – getting quick kills
What is the problem? It has almost become a tradition. With the launch of a new map in the “Battle Royale” shooter CoD Warzone the wall glitch also returns. Verdansk, Rebirth Island, and Caldera already had massive problems with broken walls and so has Fortune’s Keep.
Even in CoD MW 2019, bullets came out of the walls:
Some players have already found different locations on the new map Fortune’s Keep where they can glitch through walls and even the ground. Once through the wall, enemies can still shoot at you and easily grab kills.
The problem: you cannot defend yourself, as the walls do not allow shots to pass through from the outside. The walls and the ground act like a kind of shield for those “through-glitched”.
A particularly problematic location is the city on the new map. Enemies who are glitched in the wall and ground here can easily target a nearby buy station. If you want to upgrade your equipment there, you will most likely meet a sudden end without even having seen your opponents.
You can see how uncomfortable it can look in a video from reddit:

What do the developers say about it? So far, the developers have not commented on the problem. No updates regarding the wall glitch have been published on the official Warzone Trello board (via trello.com). So it remains to be seen when the problem will be fixed.
Fortune’s Keep is already “better than Rebirth Island” according to fans
What do players say about the new map? The new map generates excitement and brings many players back to Warzone.
In a thread on Reddit, some Warzone fans praise the new map (via reddit.com). Especially the variety and the new dynamics in gameplay seem to be well received by players.
Gary_BBGames writes: ‘I had so much fun on this map. So much variety. There was always a chance to escape and reposition. Many cool secret tunnels. It’s just genius. It’s so much fun. I saw that the player count was reduced to learn the map, but it feels so perfect. Hopefully, they won’t mess it up.’
Spartan1102 writes: ‘It has completely rekindled my love for Warzone (and that of my team). I’d like a more diverse meta on the map than just NZ/Blixen/Marco, but even with this lame meta, the map is just awesome. I’ll be sad when the map gets removed again and the outdated Rebirth Island comes back.’
Here and there, some users complain about the roof campers in the city on Fortune’s Island. But otherwise, the mood in the Reddit thread is very positive.
In June, you can encounter the legendary bosses Kyogre, Groudon, and Mewtwo in the Level 5 raids of Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you when you can find which monster and which Mega Pokémon you can expect in the coming weeks.
Which Pokémon are involved? With the change of the month, there will also be a change of raid bosses in the raids. You can face monsters like Kyogre, Groudon, or Mewtwo and defeat them during the weekly raid hours.
Below, we have compiled an overview of all known raid bosses of the Level 5 and Mega raids so far. If Niantic announces any further raid bosses, we will update the article accordingly.
Today, on June 29, 2022, Level 5 raids with Mewtwo will occur more frequently during the raid hour from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Update from June 8: Due to server issues during the raid hour on June 1, a replacement raid hour with Kyogre will take place on June 10 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Raid Hours and Raid Bosses in June 2022
The following raid hours are scheduled in June 2022 in Pokémon GO:
Pokémon marked with an (*) may also be encountered in their shiny form with a bit of luck.
Another highlight: In addition to the raid hours, you can also encounter one or another interesting raid boss during the upcoming GO Fests on June 4 and 5. On Saturday, June 4, you will find the following legendary Pokémon in the Level 5 raids:
Kyogre*
Groudon*
Additionally, on both event days, the dragon Pokémon Dratini will be available to catch in the Level 1 raids. With a bit of luck, you might encounter a shiny version.
5-star raids with Mewtwo* (Charge Move Shadow Ball)
June 16, 2022 – July 1, 2022
Mega raids with Mega-Venusaur* Mega-Charizard X* Mega-Charizard Y* Mega-Blastoise*
June 23, 2022 – July 1, 2022
5-star raids with Mewtwo* (Charge Move Psystrike)
Pokémon marked with an (*) may also be encountered in their shiny form with a bit of luck.
What else is happening in Pokémon GO? In addition to the legendary Pokémon and Mega Evolutions that you will encounter in the raids in June, Niantic has showcased a completely different type of monster: the Ultra Beast Nihilego through their Twitter account and in the trailer for GO Fest 2022.
When exactly the new Pokémon will come into the game is still not officially known. However, it is conceivable that Nihilego is the yet-to-be-revealed Level 5 raid boss at the GO Fest.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Pokémon GO, the GO Fest 2022 is just around the corner. This year you can encounter the mysterious Pokémon Shaymin. We at MeinMMO have looked into what kind of monster it is and show you how strong it will be.
What event is it about? As in previous years, a huge GO Fest will take place in 2022 again, where you can participate from all over the world. Naturally, you can expect numerous bonuses and spawns.
Ticket holders can also look forward to an encounter with a special, mysterious Pokémon. At the Pokémon GO Fest 2022, you will have the opportunity to encounter the hedgehog Pokémon Shaymin for the first time.
When does the GO Fest 2022 take place? The GO Fest will run on Saturday, June 4, 2022, and Sunday, June 5, 2022, each day from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time.
Update from June 29, 2022: For the GO Fest in Berlin, from July 1 to July 3, 2022, ticket holders will have exclusive access to a special research task that will bring them Shaymin in its Sky Form.
The new Pokémon Shaymin
What kind of Pokémon is Shaymin? Shaymin is a mysterious Pokémon from the 4th generation of games, which is also referred to as the Gratitude Pokémon. Since the GO Fest 2022 revolves around friendship and gratitude, it fits perfectly with the event.
Shaymin belongs, like some other Pokémon, to the transformers and thus has a Land Form, which is of the Grass type, and a Sky Form, which is of the Grass and Flying type. However, the Pokémon does not have a pre-evolution or evolution.
Land Form: Shaymin (Land Form) can score particularly well in its stamina. But it also has solid values in attack and defense. Its stats are as follows:
Attack: 210
Defense: 210
Stamina: 225
This makes it slightly stronger in terms of attack than Tangela, which only reaches a value of 207. However, the little hedgehog will not be able to use any Grass-type Fast Attack in its moveset.
Thus, currently, it only has access to the moves Hidden Power (Normal) and Zen Headbutt (Psychic), both of which deal decent damage. For use in raids, Shaymin (Land Form) is still a suitable alternative.
Sky Form: Even stronger than the Land Form of Shaymin is its Sky Form. This can excel with high stats in Attack and Stamina:
Attack: 261
Defense: 166
Stamina: 225
It is thus even slightly stronger than Zarude and Roserade, which are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Just like its Land Form, the Sky Form is also unlikely to have access to any Grass-type Fast Attacks. In raids, however, the Sky Form is also a good option.
This is what Shaymin looks like: The mysterious Pokémon will probably encounter you in its Land Form during the GO Fest. You can recognize it by its hedgehog-like, white body and its spiky coat made of leaves. Its body is adorned on the sides with a large pink flower.
The Sky Form, on the other hand, is larger and resembles a deer with its delicate body. You can also recognize it by its white body and the green tuft of hair on its head. A red leaf adorns the Pokémon on its side/back.

Can you catch Shiny Shaymin? The shiny variant of the mysterious Pokémon will probably unfortunately not be catchable in Pokémon GO during the GO Fest 2022.
How can you obtain Shaymin? According to Niantic, there will be a special research task for ticket holders at this year’s GO Fest again (via pokemongolive.com). This revolves around the Gratitude Pokémon and will reward you, as you know from previous GO Fests, with an encounter with Shaymin (Land Form).
Those with a ticket for the GO Fest in Berlin can look forward to an additional Shaymin. This time it will be the Sky Form of the Gratitude Pokémon. Thus, currently, only ticket holders have the chance to encounter one.
Whether it, as in the past with other mysterious Pokémon, will also be available in the game for all other trainers in a few months remains to be seen.
What do you think of the new mysterious Pokémon? Will you get a ticket for the GO Fest to catch Shaymin? Or were you hoping for the debut of another monster? Feel free to let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss it with other trainers.
In League of Legends the new “Star Guardian” event has been released on the test server. This event features special cosmic skins that look particularly cool. However, many players are already expressing criticism about the skins. They rather wish for the versions that Wild Rift, the mobile version of LoL, receives.
What is the problem with the event? Star Guardian is for many the biggest event of the year, as it brings the most and often the craziest skins. The patch 12.13 is already available on the PBE, including the first half of the skins. Upcoming are:
Star Guardian Kai’Sa
Star Guardian Sona
Star Guardian Ekko
Star Guardian Ekko Prestige
Star Guardian Nilah
Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks
With patch 12.14, there will be 5 more skins added.
However, the new skins are not well received by many players on Reddit. There is criticism about the selection of champions, the splash arts, and the fact that Riot Games seems to know better. Because in LoL Wild Rift, exactly the things are implemented that PC players wish for.
You can check out the teaser for the “Star Guardian” event here:
Start video
LoL: The popular Star Guardian event is back – Teaser reveals release date
“It’s a slap in the face for all PC players”
What exactly is being criticized? On Reddit about LoL, there are currently several threads criticizing the new event. Particularly the selection of Ekko as a prestige skin is frowned upon. Additionally, there is criticism regarding a nerf to the obtainable event rewards.
Furthermore, criticism of the skins for Rakan and Xayah, which were implemented in 2019, is boiling over. Both skins depict a corrupted version of the champions. Since 2019, players have been wishing for normal versions of the “Star Guardian” skins.
Ironically, this normal version is now being given to LoL Wild Rift. The Reddit user Macaulyn describes this as “a slap in the face for all PC players” and is not alone in this sentiment. Moreover, from the players’ perspective, the mobile version seems to be doing many things better:
It features a skin for Orianna. This champion has few skins overall and even has a ballerina-themed background.
Seraphine and Senna have been chosen as two additional champions suitable for the event skin.
Overall, the skins are perceived to be of higher quality in Wild Rift by many.
Wild Rift is getting an adapted version of the Summoners Rift map with Easter eggs relevant to the event.
This is the new “Star Guardian” skin for Orianna in Wild Rift.
As Wild Rift has generally received a lot of love from Riot Games in previous events, some players now fear that the mobile version will be prioritized over the PC game in the future.
The general criticism is: The PC version should focus more on quantity, while the mobile version emphasizes quality. Out of desperation, some even hope that the PC version will soon receive a rework – both in terms of graphics and the client (via reddit).
According to the trailer linked above, the patch is set to be released on July 14.
What do you think about the “Star Guardian” skins? Do you find it just as annoying or do you allow the mobile players their advantage? And does the PC version of LoL really need a fundamental overhaul?

Spellbreak brought fresh air to the shooter-heavy battle royale genre with a solid dose of magic. But soon it will be over: the game will close its servers.
What kind of game is this? Spellbreak is a battle royale. You fight to survive on an ever-shrinking map until only one person is left.
The special thing about the game: here you don’t have rifles or typical firearms as in Fortnite or Warzone, but genuine sorcery.
In Spellbreak, you gather items like runes, boots, or belts, as well as powerful spell gloves that give you different abilities.
The magical gloves grant you elemental magic like fire, rock, lightning, ice, wind, or poison. You could have two of them and freely combine them.
This results in crazy abilities. In Spellbreak, your mages can, for example, fly, summon storms, hurl burning rocks, or create ice walls. The imagination has few limits.
This is how the game was received: Spellbreak is playable on PC, but also on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, even with crossplay. Looking at Steam, you can see that the ratings are still strong to this day: 85% of the reviews on Steam are positive. Here, the praise for the unusual, unique gameplay stands out.
However, the criticism lies in the problem that it can take a long time to get into a game session. For here lies the problem: the player counts have dropped significantly. Apparently so much that it is now finally over for Spellbreak.
2023 is the end: “This is the farewell to Spellbreak”
As strong as the ratings on Steam are, the player counts themselves are weak. Spellbreak could never follow up on the good start at release – instead, the numbers continued to decline consistently, as the graph from SteamCharts shows:
The player counts fell sharply and never recovered (via SteamCharts)
The game apparently couldn’t recover from this crash, as the developers now announced the closure of the servers for early 2023 in an official statement. Thus, Spellbreak will remain for only about half a year – then it will be buried.
The developer team stated that after four years, they decided on this step: “Our vision was to create a fresh multiplayer action magic game with extraordinary movement possibilities and class customization that gives players the opportunity to unleash their inner battle mage,” the statement said.
“Spellbreak was an ambitious project where our team pushed new boundaries in design and development, and we look forward to creating new titles in the future.”
Similar sentiments were echoed by Seth Sivak, the CEO of developer Proletariat Inc., who addressed the fans on Reddit: “Unfortunately, the gaming industry is a tough business. Spellbreak was unable to make the breakthrough and achieve a sustainable position where we could continue to invest in the way we dreamed of,” Sivak explains.
It has been a hard road – and unfortunately, Spellbreak never got on track as it needed to: “This is the farewell to Spellbreak, but I cannot thank this community enough for the support and help along the way. Spellbreak has changed our studio and touched the lives of so many people. So once again: thank you” (via reddit).
In the initial reactions, some players mourn the game, but criticism is also expressed (via reddit). It has been too quiet around the game in recent months, there have been too few updates. After the initial hype, there simply hasn’t been enough from the special game.
For comparison: The last update for Spellbreak was pushed on September 1, 2021. It is unlikely that much more will come before Spellbreak shuts down in 2023.
Twin Drums, an indie studio from Berlin, is currently working on The Wagadu Chronicles, a new MMORPG for PC and Mac. The project fully focuses on the role-playing factor of the genre and features a unique setting.
What kind of game is this? In 2022, The Wagadu Chronicles announced itself as an MMORPG focusing on RPG, not grind. The game is inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, one of the most famous and largest role-playing games in the world.
As in D&D, you create your own character, but here you choose an “ancestral line” instead of races. This determines your origin and roughly your role in this world. You should be able to fully immerse yourself in the role you choose and create:
There is no focus on equipment with better stats or grind
There are also no classes, only predefined skills
The story plays a bigger role
In groups, you should be able to interact with a “dialogue mode”
Questions about the game are asked in “off-world lobbies” to avoid breaking immersion
The Wagadu Chronicles describes itself as Afro-Fantasy and seems to be set in a fantasy version of Africa. You can check out the gameplay and world here in the alpha trailer:
Start video
German sandbox MMORPG relies on “Afro-Fantasy” – Shows new gameplay trailer
Alpha 2 starts “soon” – Joining is easy
When does the Alpha start? In the latest tweet from the developers, it is stated that the 2nd Alpha starts “soon”. There is no specific date yet.
Shortly before the announcement, however, new information about the game was provided, including some details about the magic system. Many spells apparently orient themselves to well-known templates from Dungeons & Dragons.
The game is based on a set of rules that should be compatible with the 5th edition of D&D. This will even be released as its own pen & paper.
How can I join? Unlike the first Alpha of The Wagadu Chronicles, you do not have to pay 140 € on Kickstarter. Instead, it should be enough to simply sign up for the newsletter:
You then have the chance to be invited to the alpha test and will also receive a 300-page lore book as a PDF. This serves as the basis for both the MMORPG and the corresponding pen & paper.
Whether the game will later be Free2Play, Buy2Play, or follow a subscription model is not yet known. A specific release date is still pending. However, a corresponding book is supposed to be released in autumn 2022.

This week: Caiatl will once again be forced to confront her nightmare Ghaul. If the current Empress of the Cabal succeeds, the connection to the Moon Pyramid will be significantly weakened. Despite the large and smooth successes, the nightmare liberation of the NPCs seems suspiciously easy.
Calus has sacrificed too much to be taken out so quickly, so it remains to be seen what deceptive plan the former Cabal Emperor is pursuing and whether he will still bear fruit.

As a reward for the challenge in the final section of the Grandmaster raid, this week you have a chance to earn a Master version of the weapons glaive “Lubraes Ruin,” the pulse rifle “Insidious,” or the grenade launcher “Persistence.” However, keep in mind that Hard and Normal modes share the loot.

With the High Isle update, the developers of The Elder Scrolls Online brought the Oakensoul Ring into the game. PvE fans are happy about the useful buffs, while PvP players complain that the ring is too strong and that you have no chance without it.
What kind of item is this? It is a Mythic item that all players want since the High Isle update. The Oakensoul Ring is great for solo-PvE as it provides you with valuable buffs.
Here you can watch the trailer of the new High Isle update:
Start video
New gameplay trailer celebrates the release of ESO High Isle on PS5, PS4 and Xbox
The item ruins PvP gameplay for some players
While wearing the Oakensoul Ring in PvP does not automatically make you a god, you are still stronger. With the ring, you are very resilient, nimble, have high crit values, and deal enormous damage. Players without the ring are clearly at a disadvantage.
Some classes are now harder to play in PvP because opponents deal too much damage with the ring and are constantly down. This is particularly true for the necromancer.
As a result, many players are dissatisfied and wish for the ring to be weakened in the next update or to be disabled in PvP. This is what the reddit community says:
redlink1979: “People in PvP with the buffs of a raid team … enough said.”
AngryAmour: “Disable the ring in PvP but leave everything else as is.”
Fhritz_: “Some of the buffs need to be disabled in PvP. They are way too strong.”
Shuck-Lee: “The ring is good for PvE, but disable it for PvP. It makes the worst builds relevant, regardless of what sets are worn.”
The community is also discussing the fact that fights with the ring equipped are too easy. Some find the gameplay too boring because they hardly have to do anything anymore.
PvE fans love the ring
Players who focus on PvE have a much better reception of the Oakensoul Ring. While some still find it boring, most are enthusiastic.
Especially users with physical disabilities are happy not to have to press so many buttons anymore. For them, the gameplay is now easier.
RockWhisperer42 explains his situation: “I have multiple sclerosis, which affects my coordination from my brain to my hand. Switching between bars and getting a rotation down was hard for me. The ring allows me to pull 48k with my Magplar. […] I’m very happy that it exists now.”
Blindpandacup is also relieved: “I mostly play solo and regularly experience hand pain due to my arthritis. This ring is a godsend for me.”
bajur says: “It makes the game more accessible for people with disabilities.”
Even players without physical disabilities appreciate the Oakensoul Ring in PvE. It makes it easier for them to tackle difficult bosses. Here’s what PvE fans say:
HickRarrison says: “Honestly, the ring eliminates some of the problems I have in combat in ESO. The constant buffing and weapon switching becomes exhausting after a while.”
Colest says: “The popularity of the ring indicates that players don’t find it very fun to trigger 3 to 5 buffs again every 20 seconds.”
GradeTimely says: “I really hope they don’t nerf the ring. Otherwise, they will lose an ESO+ member.”
What’s your opinion on the Oakensoul Ring? Do you use it, are you farming it right now, or do you prefer to skip it? Do you play more PvE or PvP in ESO? Is the item too strong? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
The Day Before is the most wanted game on the Steam platform. Now, the developers Fntastic are looking for volunteers to help in the development of the game unpaid.
What will The Day Before be about? The Day Before is a survival shooter that will be released on Steam. It takes place in a zombie apocalypse, where you fight for your survival.
The first trailers give hints about gameplay content. You will need to take care of resources that secure your survival or you can rush through the apocalyptic landscape with vehicles.
Many are eagerly awaiting the release. Currently, The Day Before ranks number 1 in the Steam list of “Most Wanted” (as of June 28, 2022, via store.steampowered.com).
When is the release of the game? Originally, The Day Before was announced for June 21, 2022. The date has now been pushed back a year to March 1, 2023.
For more precise information about the game and the reason why the release date was postponed, you can find it here.
Here you can see a gameplay trailer for The Day Before:

“Fntastic’s culture is based on the idea of volunteer work”
What does Fntastic mean by “volunteers”? On their website, the company explains what is meant by the term “volunteers” (via fntastic.com).
There are two ways to help as a volunteer at Fntastic:
Full-time
Part-time
Full-time volunteers work for money. The spots for this are limited. As a part-time volunteer, anyone can help out. As compensation, the company offers “cool rewards, participation certificates, and free codes”.
According to Fntastic, the tasks for part-time volunteers include various activities. They explicitly mention translation activities and community moderation as examples. It is also possible for part-time volunteers to contribute their own skills and improve the game.
MeinMMO asked Fntastic for a statement on the matter. A response is still pending.
How does the community respond on reddit? The reactions to Fntastic’s strategy are mixed (via reddit).
On one hand, there are many critical comments:
whatnameisnttaken098 says: “So, they want people to develop a massive MMO… unpaid?”
StabilitySpace is also skeptical: “Everything about this company just looks weird.”
On the other hand, there are also users who defend the company. They argue that Fntastic only assigns small tasks, like forum moderation, to volunteers and “instead of having no translations at all, they allow fans to do the translations.”

The player “WeloBk” achieved 47 solo kills in Call of Duty: Warzone single-handedly, setting a new world record. And this just shortly after the new map “Fortune’s Keep” was launched.
Interestingly, WeloBk achieved the record all by himself. He played “Solo versus Quads,” thus playing alone against players in four-man teams.
In this game mode on Fortune’s Keep, a total of 40 players compete against each other, and the “killed” players can respawn after a certain time, as long as a team member is alive. This way, one can also achieve more kills than there are players participating in the match.
Many streamers and CoD professionals specifically select this mode in their videos to face the greatest challenge and prove their skills.
Here in the trailer, you can see more about the map “Fortune’s Keep”:

Why is the world record so impressive? WeloBk played alone against several four-man teams, which could coordinate and split up. This increased the difficulty of setting the world record and made victory harder.
