A new trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 makes players really excited to play through the strong candidate for Game of the Year 2025 once again.
What kind of trailer is this? This trailer was released on November 11, 2025, just in time for the launch of the new Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Royal Edition. Just like the Royal Edition for part 1, it includes the main game as well as all additional content.
The Royal Edition includes the three story DLCs Brushes with Death, Legacy of the Forge, and Mysteria Ecclesiae, as well as the bonus quest The Lion’s Crest. The standard price is €79.99, but until November 13 at 7:00 PM, the edition is available on Steam for €47.99 – a 40% discount.
Here you can also see the trailer for the Royal Edition:

What does the trailer show? It primarily consists of gameplay scenes and occasionally features quotes from press reviews. Additionally, all additional content that has been released since launch is presented again. The whole thing is accompanied by a song by the rock band Queens of The Stone Age.
Players immediately want to play another round
How are the reactions to the trailer? It really grabs the players when you read the comments on the trailer on YouTube. (As of November 12, 12:32 p.m.)
Whoever makes trailers for WH needs a huge raise! This one is absolute cinema!”, writes leipabirdie and receives 1,073 likes for it.
“KCD2 FOR GOTY [Game of the Year],” writes AbyssalStrider and also receives a lot of praise. His comment has 3,458 likes.
Quite a few players have also put themselves in the right mood to start the game over again thanks to the new trailer. amog-z6m states: “Time to replay this masterpiece for a 3rd time” and other players agree with him in the comments. The game is not exactly short: the main story takes about 55 hours, and with side activities, it amounts to nearly 100 hours (according to howlongtobeat.com).
With Mysteria Ecclesiae, the last DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was released on November 11, 2025. No further ones are planned. In this, Heinrich explores a monastery again, this time to uncover the origin of a deadly plague. The new DLC for KCD2 thus recalls one of the best quests of the predecessor.

The planned WoW event of the German Twitch streamers HandOfBlood, Metashi12, and Papaplatte has caught the attention of the US counterpart Sodapoppin. And he can’t wait to see his colleagues die.
What kind of event is this? The Twitch streamers HandOfBlood, Metashi12, and Papaplatte are currently planning an event with over 100 participants in the hardcore version of WoW Classic. This is inspired by the US content guild OnlyFangs. We have already reported on the planned event on MeinMMO.
OnlyFangs is behind MMORPG streamer Sodapoppin, who has now commented on the German version in a podcast.

“I hope they die”
What does the original say about it? Sodapoppin made a pretty clear statement about the event: “I will hatewatch it, I hope they die.” That may sound mean at first, but it’s actually a great honor because that’s the joke in such a hardcore event.
Every character has only one life, and watching them lose it in the most ridiculous ways is half the fun. The despair of the streamers behind it is usually so entertaining that it also breaks language barriers.
Sodapoppin expressed his excitement for the “Death Clips,” even though he wouldn’t understand what the people are saying. He will be laughing the whole time; that’s fantastic. Maybe for the experienced WoW player, it’s also a way to cope with his own disgrace in the last round of OnlyFangs.
In the end, Sodapoppin also had a few nice words for the German streamers: If they enjoy their event and want to do it again, he could imagine a crossover with a potential third season of OnlyFangs.
The clip, including Metashi’s reaction, can be seen here:

How is that received by the German OnlyFangs? Metashi, who presumably saw the clip from Sodapoppin shown by his co-founder Papaplatte, spoke of having “goosebumps” while watching. Apparently, he is very much looking forward to a possible collaboration with OnlyFangs.
But just the fact that the US counterpart is aware of the German event and is talking about it seems to motivate the streamers quite a bit.
What happened in the last OnlyFangs can be read here:
Bungie should successfully continue its flagship title “Destiny 2” after being acquired by Sony, but a recent financial report from the Japanese company makes it clear that the American studio is currently not doing well.
Everything sounded too good to be true, but then came waves of layoffs, projects were shelved & Destiny was set to undergo a directional change after the Light & Darkness saga. Smaller content drops, but several in a row. With the latest expansion “At the Edge of Destiny” it became clear that the plan was not really working out. Many fans dropped off and this was reflected in the player numbers.
The extent of the disinterest was still unknown, but in a recent financial report from the Japanese company, it was made clear that things do not look good for Bungie.

Destiny 2 zeigt in seinem neuesten ViDoc, was euch in Renegades erwartet
Bungie’s business forecast has been lowered
What does the financial report reveal? In Sony’s official financial report, Lin Tao, the financial director of the Japanese company, reports on Bungie’s failure since the acquisition (Source: sony.com). The report states that the studio has not met expectations regarding player numbers and sales.
Furthermore, “impairment losses for a portion of the intangible and other assets of Bungie, Inc. related to Destiny 2” have been recorded. These amount to 31.5 billion yen, which corresponds to over 204 million US dollars at the current exchange rate.
Lin Tao also states: “As far as Destiny 2 is concerned, sales figures and user activity have partly not met the expectations we had at the time of Bungie’s acquisition due to changes in the competitive environment.”
As a result, the business forecast has now been lowered, and the situation is being continuously monitored. Meanwhile, Sony is trying to turn the tide with some improvements.
Why is Destiny 2 performing so poorly right now? After Bungie completed its Light & Darkness saga, many longtime fans dropped off. The shooter had reached its conclusion. Many were no longer interested in a new saga.
Those who remained wanted to continue supporting their favorite shooter, but the new direction in the content model did not please everyone. The content was too small, the DLC was too superficial, and countless bugs disrupted the gaming experience.
Additionally, Bungie created a new system, to keep players engaged with grueling grind longer. Only a few were willing to engage with it, and those who were disinterested also dropped off. Moreover, fans have been waiting for months for the promised roadmap.
If one looks at the current overall picture of Bungie, it does not look rosy. There is little hope among fans, and if the studio also skimp on content for the upcoming expansion “Renegades”, Bungie could face further consequences. After all, it is not long until the release of the upcoming DLC: The Vex gain their own will after 10 years in Destiny 2 and become stylish criminals immediately

That Critical Role would make some changes to the rules of Dungeons & Dragons for their campaign was already clear since the first announcement. However, after just a few episodes, further adjustments followed that render the traditional rule set secondary, but instead, initiate an exciting story.
How does Critical Role handle the classes in the latest campaign? Although it was clear early on that Critical Role wants to do many things differently in the latest campaign compared to previous ones, they still adhere – at least mostly – to the official rules of Dungeons & Dragons. This also applied to the classes, which in the first episodes consisted of familiar candidates such as Warlocks, Wizards, or Clerics. However, the emphasis here is on “consisted”.
After some early, yet quite impactful plot twists in the first episodes (which we do not want to spoil here), it became clear that some assignments of character and class were rather questionable. Even the attribute values of some characters raised suspicion among fans – A Cleric with a wisdom of 10? Sure.
Now Critical Role has completely rewritten some classes on their site and assigned new names that make much more sense in the new world and excite for future developments.
Here you can see the trailer for the fourth campaign of Critical Role:
Start video
The 4th Campaign of Critical Role starts now and is bigger than ever
The gods are dead – but magic is not
What changes have been made to the classes? After the first announcement that the gods no longer exist in the world of Aramán and the campaign takes place in a world without power-granting deities, some fans wondered how a Cleric like Wicander Halovar (played by Sam Riegel) could still come to be. However, after a rather special event in the third episode, several clues indicated that Wick is not actually a Cleric, but a kind of Wizard (which fits much better with his attribute values).
When Wick’s class was adjusted, it did not say Sorcerer, but “Prodigy Mage”, which can be translated roughly as “wonder-child mage”. However, this still fits the definition of a Wizard as found in the Player’s Handbook of D&D (2024):
Wizards command magic that is ingrained in their nature. Some Wizards do not know the origin of their powers. Others trace it back to strange events in their biography or family history.
Source: Player’s Handbook (2024) Page 162
However, the changes did not stop with the new naming of a Wizard. Magic is viewed differently in Aramán than in previous campaigns or the regular multiverse of D&D. After the death of the gods, it no longer functioned as before, but became wild and unpredictable.
Which classes received a new definition? The Wizard is not the only class that is defined differently in the world of Aramán. The following classes also received a new name:
Warlock = Pact Magus
Wizard = Arcanist
Paladin = Exemplar
Druid = Wild Mage
Ranger = Tracker
Sorcerer = Prodigy Mage
Since the character Azune, who is now referred to as Prodigy Mage like Wick, was first listed as Sorcerer, this confirms the suspicion that Wick also falls into that class.
It remains exciting whether Critical Role wants to incorporate similar ideas and descriptions for the subclasses of the characters, but one has to remain attentive for that.

A series on Amazon Prime can be a clear recommendation for fans of science fiction stories. It really shows how the colonization of space can go off the rails, and that it doesn’t take aliens to cause chaos.
What is this series about? The Expanse aired between 2015 and 2022 for six seasons. There are a total of 62 episodes, each running around 40 minutes. The series belongs to the science fiction genre and is based on a book series by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. A related game has even been announced now.
Initially, the first seasons were available on Netflix, but in 2018 The Expanse was acquired by Amazon, and since then all episodes have been available on the Prime streaming service. Seasons 5 and 6 were also created under Amazon’s oversight.
After the end of the sixth season, which adapted the sixth book, there are still three more volumes waiting for their adaptation. So far, however, there has been no news that this will happen anytime soon.
But what is The Expanse actually about, and what makes the series good?
Start video
The Expanse – Season 1 (German)
Welcome to the 24th Century
What does the series tell? The Expanse takes place in the 24th century and tells of a world as some billionaires like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk probably dream of. Humanity has actually managed to leave parts of planet Earth and conquer the solar system.
There, settlements have been established on Mars and the Moon, which was also desperately needed because: Earth suffers from massive overpopulation. Around 30 billion people live in close quarters and are governed by the United Nations.
The population of Mars, meanwhile, has isolated itself from their home planet Earth. The people there see themselves as something better, have been very diligent in their work, and have become equal to Earth in many aspects – even militarily. At the same time, catastrophic conditions prevail in an asteroid belt that provides numerous raw materials in space.
In summary, it can be said: Space has been partially colonized, but that has created new problems. In all this chaos, The Expanse tells the story of the crew of the spaceship Rocinante, who somehow have to deal with all the political crises.
How is the series received? On Rotten Tomatoes, The Expanse has a critic rating of 95%, and the audience score is 85%. Thus, the series can be described as highly acclaimed and is especially recommended for genre fans.
Especially successful is the depiction of space colonization. This appears not glorious and shiny, but is shown unvarnished and with all its problems. The characters are written with depth, and there is a good mix of thoughtful moments and spectacular scenes.
Visually, genre fans can expect, on one hand, beautiful panoramas of space, but on the other hand, also rundown areas that show signs of people living in extreme situations.
It is quite ironic that the series is running on Amazon Prime, and two of the six seasons were even produced by the company. After all, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is, alongside Elon Musk, one of the loudest voices when it comes to exploring and colonizing space, for example with his own company Blue Origin (via forbes.com)

The last few days there has been a treasure hunt for a unique item in Craft Attack 13. A Twitch streamer has now managed to find the treasure, but is giving it up right away.
What kind of treasure is it? Last weekend, the End of Minecraft in Craft Attack 13 was opened. The participating Twitch streamers then had the opportunity to defeat the Ender Dragon and complete the game.
In a huge event, the content creators came together and took down the monster together. As a reward, a dragon egg can be obtained, an item that only appears once in every round. Thus, it is unique in Craft Attack 13, but has no further function.
In the last few days, there were always hints and puzzles that the Twitch streamers had to solve. The goal for each day was to find a part of a QR code; there were a total of 4. The complete QR code led to a video in which the exact coordinates of the dragon egg were revealed.

Dragon egg found after a few days
Who found the dragon egg? The Twitch streamer Marcel “Nooreax” solved all the puzzles together with his group and was quick enough to reach it. Alongside him, Clym also reached the island with the dragon egg in time. However, the dragon egg was protected and could only be collected if only one player was nearby.
How was the egg “sold”? Nooreax was willing to fight for it with Clym, but he voluntarily offered to withdraw if Nooreax donated 1,000 euros to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He agreed, and Clym left the island so Nooreax could collect the egg.

What did Nooreax do with the dragon egg? Nooreax was part of the team around BastiGHG, who together solved the puzzles. After Nooreax had the egg in his inventory, he handed it over to his contractor.
BastiGHG “needs” the dragon egg for a “battle robot” that he can activate with it. Currently, a bunker is supposed to be built where the dragon egg can be stored. For the time being, BastiGHG is carrying the dragon egg with him.
In January, Season 2 of Frieren will be released. Those who still can’t get enough of relaxed slice-of-life series after watching it might have found a suitable successor with the upcoming anime – at least if they like cats.
What is this new anime? The anime titled “The Cat and the Dragon” is based on the light novel of the same name. The original work has been rated 8.73 out of 10 stars on the manga review site MangaDex with over 1,500 votes – which shows how good the anime could be.
The anime is about a small dragon that is raised by a cat and treated like her own kitten. Over time, the little baby dragon grows into a large, fire-breathing creature that is not very fond of humans.
However, the dragon loves its furry companions in the forest above all else. It watches over many curious cats but must learn to deal properly with humans. Some of the cats that the dragon looks after travel with humans or live in populated cities.

Anime fans confuse the series with a mixed genre
When is the anime coming out? As Crunchyroll recently announced, the anime will be released in July 2026, right in the summer season. This makes its debut a season later than Frieren, the best anime of all time, and it could fill the gap in the hearts of fans who enjoy slice-of-life animes.
Because the trailer already conveys that the series is rather cozy. Like Frieren, the dragon must also learn to develop an interest in humans and accept them. Many fans mistakenly categorized the anime into a different genre.
What else could it have been? In the Reddit forum, a user questions whether the anime would be about a dragon being reincarnated as a cat. He mistakenly classified the anime in the isekai genre because the first images look like that. Here is a hybrid creature of cat and dragon.
In isekai, characters are reborn in another world as a new being or different person. The genre has seen a huge boom over the past few years, which has led to an overflow of series in this area – often with fluctuating quality. This is too much for some fans, as they write on Reddit.
But The Cat and the Dragon is more in the slice-of-life direction; no one gets reincarnated as a dragon here. And there is no such long name that reveals the entire story in the title.
There are some animes in the isekai genre that fans should definitely see. You can read about which reincarnations you shouldn’t miss in the following article on MeinMMO: The 5 best isekai animes that every fan should see

The developers of the MMORPG Aion 2 have revealed their new release date for the West and also explain how the game is supposed to differ.
When does Aion 2 start? While the new and long-awaited MMORPG Aion 2 will launch on November 19, 2025, in Korea and Taiwan, players from the West will have to wait longer. The global release of the game is expected to follow only after the MMORPG has been further improved in Korea.
The developers at NCSoft report in the new “Earnings Call” to their shareholders that they are currently expecting a release in the second half of 2026 for the West. This means it is expected to launch between July 1 and December 31, 2026 – around the same time as the new MMORPG Chrono Odyssey. But the developers reveal even more about the new MMORPG.
Here you can watch the trailer for Aion 2:

Aion 2: New trailer prepares for the Korean launch of the MMORPG
Less Pay2Win and made for younger generations
What else have the developers revealed? In discussions with their shareholders, the developers shared more about their ideas for Aion 2. It was correspondingly interesting for the investors how they plan to make Aion 2 financially successful.
Here there was a change in thinking from the developers, as they want to rely less on Pay2Win than they did with previous titles. This is supposed to secure a larger player base for Aion 2 and thus contribute to long-term success.
Who should Aion 2 appeal to? In response to this question, the developers of the MMORPG give a surprising answer. According to gurufocus.com: “Byeong-Moo Park stated that AION 2 targets a younger audience who prefer shorter play sessions. The game offers a mix of PvE and PvP experiences, thus catering to different player preferences. AION 2 differs from AION Mobile, a separate title being developed for the Chinese market.”
Aion 2 is thus expected to deliver rather short-lived content that can be completed faster than the typical raids that used to take hours to finish. This is a trend that is repeatedly seen in the genre, most recently with the new MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance.

Where Winds Meet is already a hit in China, attracting around 15 million players. Now it is also coming to the West. One player has already invested over 919 hours in the Chinese version and is ready to repeat that for the global version.
What has the player completed in terms of playtime? As Rexlent shares in his post on X, he has already spent 919.3 hours in the open world of Where Winds Meet. And he still hasn’t completed all the content.
According to his own statement, he has explored all 4 available regions to 100% and managed most of the currently available PvE content. Missing are all PvP contents and some content that takes several days due to time constraints.
He has invested this playtime in the Chinese version, which has been free to play there since December 27, 2024. On November 14, 2024, Where Winds Meet will also launch in the global market, so you can get a glimpse of the huge amount of content yourself. You can then play it on PC, PS5, and mobile devices.

Where Winds Meet – a game that is hard to explain
What kind of game is Where Winds Meet actually? Where Winds Meet is essentially an open-world RPG featuring martial arts combat and a lot of influences from other game genres. The story is set in 10th century China and is inspired by the fictional Wuxia genre, known from films like Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon or Hero.
The open world initially consists of two large regions, full of mysteries, puzzles, and activities that can keep you engaged for over 100 hours. Your hero defends himself with impressive martial arts skills and utilizes superhuman abilities – thanks to the Wuxia premise, he can even fly.
The progress system is multifaceted and allows for individual improvement of skills and equipment slots. Visually, you can also stand out from other players with numerous customization options.
You experience the main story and most quests alone as in a classic single-player RPG, but up to three coop friends can accompany you in certain side stories and activities. Those who wish can also switch to an optional multiplayer mode and meet other players there.
Looking at Where Winds Meet more closely, many parallels to classic MMORPGs become apparent. But how much MMORPG really is in the new open-world RPG? MeinMMO editor and MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz has taken a closer look for you: Where Winds Meet: How much MMORPG is in the new mega-hit from China?

Google and Disney are arguing about content. This is said to cost Disney 3.7 million euros daily. However, an end to the dispute is now in sight.
What is the dispute about? The entertainment giant Disney uses the online service YouTube TV, a subscription service by Google and YouTube, to distribute its content.
But it is precisely about the distribution that there is now a dispute: Disney must negotiate a new contract with YouTube TV, and so far, no agreement has been reached. According to estimates by Morgan Stanley (an investment banking and securities trading company), Disney loses about $4.3 million in revenue daily (approximately 3.7 million euros) because of this. This is reported by the English-language magazine TheVerge.com.
Google accuses Disney of removing its channels as a “negotiation tactic” from YouTube TV and claims that its terms would lead to price increases for YouTube TV customers. Disney responds that Google “refuses to pay fair prices” for its content.

Both Disney and Google are said to be losing a lot of money due to the dispute
What is affected? Specifically, this is not about Disney+’s own service, but rather about other offerings that were previously available on YouTube TV: ABC, a network of television and radio stations, has not been usable via YouTube TV for many days.
In total, more than 20 Disney-owned channels are said to be affected and have been turned off on YouTube TV after the contract expired on October 30, 2025.
When will the dispute end? Analysts expect that Disney and Google will reach an agreement by the end of the week (Sunday, November 16, 2025). Because not only Disney, but also Google is said to be losing money due to the dispute: The English-language magazine Variety reports that, according to a survey by Drive Research among 1,100 US consumers, 24 percent have canceled or plan to cancel their subscription.
Google is at least trying to smooth things over by offering affected subscribers a credit of $20, or intends to do so if content remains unavailable (via blog.youtube).
Unfortunately, Disney is proposing costly economic terms that would lead to price increases for YouTube TV customers and would provide our customers with fewer choices, while Disney’s own live TV products – such as Hulu + Live TV and soon Fubo – would benefit from it.
If there is no agreement, we will have to remove Disney’s content from YouTube TV. Should this be unavailable for a longer period, we will offer our subscribers a credit of $20.

What are these housing items? Through data mining from wowhead, we already know that some of the toughest raid achievements will be rewarded with special rewards. For the “Cutting Edge” achievement, which involves defeating the final boss on mythic difficulty, there will be a golden statue in each of the three raids of Midnight that symbolizes the respective final battle.

It is still unknown whether these statues will also be available in other color variants in other ways.
How can you still obtain the statues? As of now: not at all. The trophies are only available if you have completed the respective raid on mythic difficulty while the raid was “current content”. Therefore, you must complete the raid during the active season.
Conversely, this likely means that professional guilds can tap into a new target audience as customers for “sell runs”. Many players who cannot reach the level to complete the raid on mythic difficulty will still want these trophies for their home. In that case, it is often possible to “buy into” groups and achieve the success for a substantial amount, even if they contribute nothing during the actual battle.
What do you think about obtaining housing items through tough raid achievements? Is it a good thing to include some exclusive rewards there? Or is it annoying for everyone who joins later and has no chance of obtaining these items anymore? If you want to check out the Midnight beta yourself – it’s now live.

A new leak in Pokémon GO gives hints about a feature that could greatly improve the trading function. There have been indications of this in the past.
In Pokémon GO, you are primarily supposed to move around in the real world and interact with trainers, catch Pokémon, or defeat them in raids and dynamax battles. And this is despite the fact that the most successful time for the game was when all trainers were supposed to stay at home.
Nevertheless, there are several ways for you to play from home or interact with other trainers from a distance. Now there are again indications through data mining that you might soon receive a feature to interact with trainers without leaving your home.

New leak, new hope
What does data mining mean? Data mining involves information and hints that have been discovered in the game’s files. This can include new images of monsters or items, or, as in this case, adjusted or newly added texts in the game.
It is important to note that this is not official information from Niantic.
What kind of feature is this? Screenshots of excerpts discovered by data miners in the game have surfaced on Reddit. These contain various texts related to trading monsters from a distance. Such indications have existed in the past.
The leak includes hints about a new friendship level currently named “Forever Friend”. Additionally, there are texts suggesting that with the new friendship level, you can unlock a distant trade. This trade seems to be unlocked every time you have collected a certain amount of friendship points with a friend.
This suggests that you won’t trigger a distance trade by luck, as is the case with a lucky trade, but can unlock it repeatedly by collecting a certain amount of friendship points.
All texts from the data mining can be found in the post on Reddit:

When will the feature be released? When the feature will be released, or if it will even be released at all, is not officially known. Such leaks have often provided information about new additions to the game in the past, which later officially made their way into the game.
However, it is also possible that such additions and texts are brought into the game and that Niantic subsequently decides against releasing the feature. So we will have to wait and see if and when you will be able to trade monsters with friends from a distance.
In November, you will find various events, raids, spotlight hours, and other content in Pokémon GO again. If you want to know what they are and when they take place, feel free to take a look at our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

In the anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, the developers have unlocked many new contents since the release. Now there is for the first time a breather, but not all fans are pleased.
What content has there been so far? Since the release of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, the developers have repeatedly released new content. Initially, the six dungeons were introduced in normal and hard difficulty.
After that, the developers released a new raid every week. Along with the first one came the hardest difficulty of the dungeons, “Master”, and a new gear tier was added. Additionally, there were new recipes for crafters to enhance their equipment with additional upgrades.
After Blue Protocol: Star Resonance has now received six dungeons and three raids in just over five weeks, the first break is announced, but not all players are happy about it.
Here you can watch a trailer for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance:

Trouble with the Break
What kind of break is this? According to the developers’ content plan for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, there will not be a new unlock until November 24. Then the “Nightmare” level of the raids will be unlocked, as well as the remaining difficulty levels of the dungeons.
A new gear tier will also be unlocked at that time, bringing players to the currently highest level. But until then, players in the MMORPG have the first break ahead of them. While this is a good opportunity for some to catch up or play something else, like the new Where Winds Meet, it annoys other players.
What is the community discussing? The player base of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is discussing how little there is to do in the game. This has been well masked by the regular releases from the developers, but now that the break is approaching, many players notice the lack of side activities. Players are writing on Reddit:
YatoXShiro: “The life skills are limited, fishing is tedious. Weekly raids are limited, Adepts Trial offers hardly any rewards. The monster log grind is endless, Stimen Vault is limited to every two weeks. Homestead and flowers are time-limited. Guild content is restricted to the weekends, and explorations/chests are limited. […] Do you also feel like there’s a lack of content after a month?”
BoopsBoopss: “To be honest, I’m glad for the content break. It’s really hard to keep up with the constantly increasing demands to be accepted into groups. I know it’s frustrating for the most dedicated grinders, but moments like this are a lifesaver for people like me. Sometimes I feel like I’ve missed the boat when it comes to playing with others […].”
Cash-Money-Life: “This game is not meant to be played nonstop. […] It becomes very monotonous after about five hours, then I just stop and play something else.”
Even though the MMORPG still provides enjoyment for players, many game modes are limited in their unlocks and have already been completed by many. With the next update on November 24, the last major content boost will come before a longer dry spell, as Season 2 is not expected to appear in the West until 2026.

There is a MOBA that MeinMMO demon Cortyn played for many years. Now it is desperately trying to stay alive.
When thinking of the major MOBAs of the last decade, most probably have League of Legends or DOTA 2 in mind. Some might still think of the “half-dead” Heroes of the Storm, which hasn’t been developed for years but at least still occasionally receives small balance patches.
But there was another MOBA that was quite large and popular at times: SMITE.
SMITE was quite unique because it did not have an isometric view; instead, you felt closer to the action as you controlled your character in a third-person perspective. This made the combat feel more dynamic.

Gods-MOBA SMITE 2 – Reveal Trailer
SMITE 2 – One step into the future, two steps back in microtransactions
Some time ago, the developers came up with the idea to cease development of SMITE and develop SMITE 2 instead. After all, several new versions of the Unreal Engine had been released, so a core renovation made a lot of sense. This also allowed them to finally streamline the overloaded menus and make the entire game more attractive and accessible. I initially praised this step as well.
In theory, it was a good plan. But one that failed. Because where SMITE 1 in January 2024 could still boast up to 24,000 simultaneous players, SMITE 2 simply hasn’t succeeded. Sure, SMITE 2 is still in Early Access, but it hasn’t surpassed 6,400 concurrent players.
The numbers for SMITE 2 are currently stable – but low. Source: steamcharts.com
During this time, the player base of SMITE 1 shrank to a maximum of 2,000 players. This means that the transition from SMITE 1 to SMITE 2 cost nearly 70% of the players.
A change that the developers probably did not plan for, leading to questionable decisions in SMITE 2:
Almost every new patch in SMITE 2 introduced new mechanics and content that provided opportunities to spend real money on microtransactions. While microtransactions is the wrong term here because after a purchase, the remaining money for my monthly planning is the only “micro” left.
Initially, the menus were clean and organized, but now there are more and more elements in the interface that point to one of many shopping options.
The prices are also beyond reason. The “Sagas”, which are the most premium skins with various color variants, cost around €30 when purchased at release. If you want them a few weeks later, you’ll have to pay almost €50.
The prices are just one thing: outrageous.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Everything that can be imagined comes with a price tag.
You want more than one emote to choose from in the game at the same time? Sure, but please pay €20 – per emote slot.
You want your account name to be displayed on the loading screen with a flaming fire animation? No problem, just pay €50.
Then there are also fun things like “events” where you can earn minimal rewards or so little event currency through gameplay that you cannot progress without spending real money.
Free2Play does not justify everything
And yes, I know: SMITE 2 is Free2Play. But Free2Play cannot justify everything. It is evident from the player numbers that the plan is clearly not working.
When SMITE 2 launched, they wanted to lure players from SMITE 1. They introduced “Legacy Gems”. Anyone who had purchased real money currency in SMITE 1 would receive double the amount of these gems in SMITE 2. You could then use them to buy new content at a 50% reduced price.
However, just a few weeks later, they retracted this promise. What you could buy with the Legacy Gems was continuously cut back, and now we have ended up with such glorious items like “icons”, “background music”, and “announcers”. Occasionally, you can still buy a classic skin with them. However, the promised cost reduction for new content has almost completely been revoked.
I fondly remember SMITE and still have fun with SMITE 2. The gameplay is still good, and the “ARAM” mode (that is, “assault”) remains a nice pastime that is fun, especially with friends.
However, seeing how desperately the developers try to squeeze money out of the game while player numbers stagger at a low level makes me increasingly doubt whether SMITE 2 was really a good idea. I don’t believe that SMITE 2 can free itself from this hole. Anyone starting the game for the first time must be careful where they click to avoid inadvertently hitting some shop or purchase offer.
Even though this is a little bit of negative crystal ball reading, I believe that SMITE 2 will not survive the coming year. The idea of “we demand more money from fewer and fewer players” is simply doomed to fail. It hurts to see how a once quite successful game completely fails at its own renewal and clogs itself with so many shop options that newcomers would directly think: No, thank you. That’s enough. I would almost prefer a subscription system and tip my hat to games like RuneScape that simply ask their community how real money transactions should look.

Almost simultaneously, Palworld and Pokémon announced a cozy farming game. Pokémon Pokopia has now revealed when it will be released for Nintendo Switch 2 – but many fans are bothered by one detail, which is why they probably won’t buy it.
When is Pokémon Pokopia being released? The life simulation game from Pokémon will be released on March 5, 2025, for Nintendo Switch 2. A version for the Nintendo Switch is not mentioned, so it is presumably out.
However, with the announcement, Nintendo released another video in which Pokémon Pokopia also appears. Fans would probably have preferred that the game not be shown in this special clip – and now they want to boycott Pokopia.

Fans boycott Pokopia over a detail
What is the problem? The video from Nintendo explains how to use game key cards on the Switch 2. And lo and behold, suddenly Pokémon Pokopia appears. It is explained that the game key card can be recognized by a key symbol at the bottom of the game packaging – just like Pokopia.
Also, on the card itself, it can be seen that the game is “only” a game key card. Game key cards are criticized mainly because they are a physical cartridge, yet do not contain the actual game.
Rather, players insert the cartridge into the Switch 2 and still have to download the game from the eShop. The card is thus only a physical license for a digital download. This brings several disadvantages, such as server dependency and the actual lack of ownership of the game. Ubisoft predicted this a year ago.
This makes Pokopia the first game that has been published by Nintendo and appears as a game key card. So far, there is only the promise that no game in which Nintendo is also involved in development will be released as a game key card.
What are fans doing now? On social media, many players are looking forward to Pokopia. However, there is also a large faction that wants to boycott the game due to the game key card. On Reddit, a user writes that the game key card is not worth the 70 US dollars (in Germany: 70 €) and that he would skip the game.
On Threads, a fan even writes that small children are copying him and that they shouldn’t buy the game. Many comments can be found here that go in a similar direction.
Bandai Namco released not only a new trailer for the DLC of Elden Ring: Nightreign on the night of November 11 to 12, 2025, but also the release date. Fans are excited that they can play right during the coziest time.
When will the new DLC for Elden Ring: Nightreign be released? The Nightreign DLC, titled “The Forsaken Hollows,” was given an official release date along with a gameplay reveal trailer, namely December 4, 2025.
This means that fans of the Elden Ring spin-off don’t have to wait much longer, just a few weeks.
Players are very excited about the content shown in the trailer, but mainly that they will be able to defeat new bosses as the new Nightfarers this year (or at least try, of course).
Here you can see the aforementioned trailer, which reveals the new content of the DLC and the release date:

What’s new in the DLC? With “The Forsaken Hollows,” 2 new Nightfarers, 2 new bosses, and a new Shifting Earth will appear in the game. On the PlayStation Blog, there is already some information about these news.
The new Nightfarers are the “Scholar” and the “Undertaker”.
The Scholar is an academic who primarily gains advantages through arcane abilities, while the Undertaker is an abbess who is efficient mainly through faith.
A new Shifting Earth will also be available to explore in the DLC. It is a large cave beneath Limveld with cursed crystals and ancient ruins that emanate a malevolent aura.
How are fans reacting to the news? In the comments under the official trailer on YouTube, many players are already expressing their joyful surprise at this announcement.
“YES, this is the kind of notification I want to receive at 1 AM,” writes @raedxxedition5632, and other fans are also expressing their joy:
“It’s not even December yet, but it looks like Christmas has come early!” (@Mario-SunshineGalaxy63)

In Pokémon GO, you can currently catch many legendary Pokémon. One has been quite resistant to this.
In Pokémon GO, the event themed “Into the Adventure” is currently taking place. This includes daily changing raid bosses, legendary monsters that trainers would like to add to their collection.
One of these legendary Pokémon was Lugia, which dominated the arenas with Ho-Oh on November 10th – and in its Shadow form. A pretty cool, strong Pokémon.
But it is also a resilient one, as some trainers discovered. Because Lugia persistently refused to be caught by some.
Select a MMO video…
Lugia just won’t settle – What can you do about it?
In the subreddits for Pokémon GO, some trainers report having problems with Lugia. The biggest difficulty: Shadow Lugia constantly breaks out, does somersaults in the air, and wards off the scant Poké Balls that trainers earned in the raid to catch it.
This is probably partly because Lugia is a Shadow Pokémon, which are generally considered more aggressive in this regard. It is noteworthy, however, that no such problems were reported with the simultaneously appearing Shadow Ho-Oh. Either way: The explanation is of little help to trainers who reported their struggles in various posts.
“I hate raiding Lugia,” “I’ve made great throws and it still fled,” “It just won’t stop flipping” – such and similar comments can be seen from trainers in the comments (on Reddit).
What can you do? To calm Lugia down a bit, there are at least a few options that you can try.
Throw a Nanab Berry. This berry helps to keep Pokémon a bit less active during the catching screen.
The Adventure Effect “Frostvolt” from Black Kyurem freezes Pokémon that you want to catch. This should work here as well, but it also costs candies and stardust.
Use a buddy Pokémon that you have leveled up enough to be able to reflect missed balls back onto the Pokémon.
Otherwise, it is: Wait, aim, and try to hit as well as possible.
Lugia is just one of the numerous raid bosses that are active this week. Every day, different Pokémon can be caught, and on the weekend, the game will then launch the “GO Nature Zone”. The large event runs Saturday and Sunday and has a lot of content to offer. We will show you what: All info about the global GO Nature Zone in Pokémon GO.
