The current Weekend League in FIFA 22 has been extended. This gives you one more day to secure strong cards from the Bundesliga TOTS.
Until when does the Weekend League run? Originally, the current Weekend League in FIFA 22 was supposed to run until Wednesday morning, May 18. Since the TOTS event, the timings for the “FUT Champions Finals” – that is, the Weekend League – have already been adjusted and extended.
However, on Tuesday evening, there were server issues that prevented players from joining. As a result, some couldn’t take full advantage of the Weekend League.
Therefore, FIFA 22 is extending the current Weekend League by 24 hours. It will now run until Thursday, May 19, at 09:00 AM. This was announced by the FIFA Direct Communication channel on Twitter.
The Weekend League Rewards are worth it right now thanks to TOTS
Take your chance: If you have been participating in the Weekend League and have already managed to collect some points, but haven’t finished yet – you should consider playing a few more matches.
The rewards currently include the Team-of-the-Season cards from the Bundesliga. There are some incredibly strong cards available that can directly improve any team. If you rank high enough in the FUT Champions Finals, you have a chance to receive these cards in your Player Picks.

With the extra time, you have gained a considerable amount of time to collect the necessary points for further ranks. Additionally, many strong players will have already completed their Weekend League matches long ago.
So you might have a good chance of ranking up and receiving better rewards.
On Friday, the Bundesliga TOTS cards will be permanently removed from packs and will be replaced by the next Team of the Season. You can find the entire TOTS schedule here.

Adam “Sky Does Everything” Dahlberg, better known as “SkyDoesMinecraft,” has been accused of abusing, cheating, and lying to women. Furthermore, friends and sponsors describe him as toxic. Now the former YouTube star is selling his channels for Minecraft .
Warning: The article contains sensitive topics such as physical and psychological abuse of people and animals. If you cannot handle such topics well, it is better to avoid this news.
Who is the YouTuber?
When Minecraft was at its peak in 2011/2012, SkyDoesMinecraft joined the trend and mainly produced mod showcases for the block game. He does not focus on seriousness, but rather on humor and entertainment.
He was able to attract 1 million subscribers within two years, which was in January 2013. By June 2014, he had 10 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. He was the first major Minecraft channel on YouTube and simultaneously one of the most successful gaming channels on the platform.
Dahlberg renamed himself to Sky Does Everything because he no longer wanted to cover only Minecraft, but also other games.
He has 2 other YouTube channels: Sky VS Gaming, where he posted various gaming videos, and Nobody Records. There, he uploaded vlogs and music videos. All three YouTube channels are currently inactive and not being used anymore.

SkyDoesMinecraft has allegedly done terrible things
What has the YouTuber allegedly done? His ex-girlfriends, former colleagues, and companies mainly voiced their opinions on Twitter about the YouTube star. Leading the charge was Elizabeth, who released a Twitter thread accusing SkyDoesMinecraft of many terrible things:
Physical and psychological violence, abuse.
Used Elizabeth’s money to fund his drug addiction.
Abused his own dog, made it drink sugary soda, nearly let it freeze outside, and kept it in a dirty kennel.
Manipulated Elizabeth into pregnancy and almost into marriage.
Psychotic episodes, in which he was not himself, wanted to kill people, and screamed.

Moreover, Elizabeth reported the alleged actions to the police. She escaped, according to her own statements, from their shared house because her father picked her up by car.
More statements and accusations from ex-colleagues and others about SkyDoesMinecraft, collected by YouTuber j aubrey, can be found here: controlc.com.
SkyDoesMinecraft sells 2 of his YouTube channels
What has the YouTuber done recently? About 4 weeks ago, there was a small sign of life from SkyDoesMinecraft and two of Dahlberg’s YouTube channels were listed for sale on FameSwap.com for the following amounts:
Sky VS Gaming with 1.29 million subscribers for €71,208.75 ($75,000) (via FameSwap.com).
Sky Does Everything with 11.2 million subscribers for €854,505 ($900,000) (via FameSwap.com).
Users can only see the price if they have an account on the site.
The idea is apparently that one buys the channels, deletes all content, and then rebrands and relaunches the channel under a different name.
The seller goes by the name “Skysellsstuff” and has been registered since April 15, 2022. According to the listing on FameSwap, the user is indeed in possession of the channels, that has been verified.
What is FameSwap.com? The site allows content creators to sell their channels that have already generated a certain level of reach. You can acquire Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube channels there.
Is that allowed? Actually not. YouTube’s guidelines go against the sale of a channel that is eligible for monetization. So it is quite possible that the future buyer of the SkyDoesMinecraft channel will be banned directly if they use the channel.
What does the community say? YouTuber j aubrey created an informative video on the topic, in which he delves deeper into information about SkyDoesMinecraft and sheds light on the accusations from various sides:

Additionally, SkyDoesMinecraft posted a poll in the Community tab on his YouTube channel 3 months ago, but everywhere there are only accusations, shocked, and sad messages from his former fans:
“It’s funny how some of us ‘fled’ from abuse by watching our favorite YouTuber – the person who couldn’t do anything wrong and always made us laugh. It’s even funnier when the person you looked up to becomes exactly the kind of person you feared the most.”
“We all looked up to you, man. When we were kids, you were our hero. And seeing and reading these pathetic things breaks my heart. That you could do this to so many people who considered you a friend.”
“Man, I loved you as a kid. The crap you did is inexcusable. And I’m not even sad or anything, I’m just really angry. There’s a minimal chance that this is all fake, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all true.”
Many users shared their stories in the comments and are shocked by what has been alleged against the YouTube star. Nevertheless, the majority believe the statements of the ex-girlfriends and colleagues. Few voices hold onto the notion that the allegations are not true and that their idol is innocent – one can fake screenshots and the “evidence.”
Diablo 4 is still waiting, but the action RPG Last Epoch is receiving thousands of positive reviews on Steam. The title resembles a mix of Path of Exile and Diablo. Last Epoch is now even starting the first test for multiplayer.
What is Last Epoch? Last Epoch is a “Hack & Slash” action RPG from the American development studio Eleventh Hour Games. In addition to 15 master classes and a variety of customizable skills, Last Epoch is particularly distinguished by its time travel mechanics.
In addition to the currently available single-player mode, there will also be a multiplayer mode in the future, which the team at Eleventh Hour Games is currently working on. Furthermore, an in-game shop with microtransactions is planned, where skins, pets, and spell effects can be purchased.
Last Epoch is currently in early access and is available on Steam. At this time, there is no information on a possible console version for examples like Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5.
Here we show you the Last Epoch overview trailer for 2021:

Last Epoch in the Overview Trailer for 2021
Why does Last Epoch feel like a mix of Diablo and Path of Exile?
Last Epoch is a classic hack and slash and therefore reminds one of well-known representatives of the genre. MeinMMO shows you which aspects of Diablo or Path of Exile you can recognize in Last Epoch:
Scope of classes and skill trees (Path of Exile)
Crafting and equipment system (Path of Exile)
The design of the classes (Diablo 2)
The skills and the structure of the skills (Diablo)
If you want to read more about why Last Epoch feels like a mix of Diablo and Path of Exile, MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has provided an overview:
What distinguishes Last Epoch? Last Epoch stands out mainly due to the way the classes function compared to other action RPGs.
There are five starter classes, from which you can choose one. Each of these five starter classes has three specializations for further development. In total, this gives you 15 specializations, each with its own unique skills.
An overview of the classes in Last Epoch.
Thousands of positive reviews on Steam
How do players rate Last Epoch? With over 10,000 positive reviews, 87% of all reviews that Last Epoch received on Steam as of May 17, 2022, are positive. This is also reflected in the wording of the players. MeinMMO shows you a selection of Steam reviews:
greekgoddessofsky via Steam: “Very similar to Diablo and Path of Exile, but much better graphics. […] Well done.”
Taumaril via Steam: “This is already a strong game, with clearly more potential. […] I think the game is better than Diablo 3.”
manituan via Steam: “It lacks variety in terms of viable builds and options for the endgame, but I think it’s better than any other action RPG currently on the market. The potential is huge.”
djoudimalika0 via Steam: “I find this game amazing, especially considering that it is in beta phase.”
Lensflare via Steam: “One of the best action RPGs out there! There are innovations and fresh ideas and concepts that bring this genre forward.”
trevorcrowley40 via Steam: “This game is worth your time if you are a fan of action RPGs. It is refreshing and nice to have a modern game that will eventually be able to be played online or offline.”
First community test for the multiplayer
What information do we have about multiplayer? The team at Eleventh Hour Games recently released an update on the development status of the Last Epoch multiplayer. It states that the team is extending the current development cycle to September 2022 and starting the first community test for multiplayer.
In the extended development cycle until September, the focus is on refining the multiplayer, performance, and combat. The team aims to no longer split attention between single-player and multiplayer in this cycle, but to work efficiently on “large and branched tasks”.
Recently, the team revised the loading process in Last Epoch to ensure that traveling back and forth is a “fast and seamless experience”.
Furthermore, the developers announced progress regarding diagnostics and fixing bugs in the multiplayer. Problems can now be identified and resolved more quickly.
Can you participate in the multiplayer test? Eleventh Hour Games asks in the update not to submit applications for participation in community tests.
The participants of the current first test are already determined, and if it should be possible to apply for a test in the future, this will be announced.
Even in 2022, “Hack and Slash” fans are still waiting for Diablo 4. However, the upcoming installment of Blizzard’s popular game series certainly has competition in the genre that can sweeten the waiting time for you.
MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has compiled a list of five new “Hack and Slash” titles you can play while you wait for Diablo 4:
In the MMORPG ArcheAge, after the publisher change, there was an exploit involving underwear in the game. Those who exploited it were permanently banned. However, Kakao Games has now decided to reverse these permanent bans after a few months. It is speculated that this is related to the low player numbers.
What was this exploit? With the exploit that Kakao Games referred to as “Panty Gate”, it was possible to quickly level up the character’s underwear to the maximum level using a code for bonus gifts.
Some players created additional accounts to redeem the code as well. This led to an economic crash.
It was a clear exploit, but it’s not viewed as strictly anymore
What does Kakao Games say exactly? In a statement, they announced that they find the permanent bans too harsh, especially when considering the long history of ArcheAge. Since all the gold and underwear generated has been removed from the game, they decided to lift the bans.
One of the first exploits during the relaunch, known as “Panty Gate”, led to the permanent banning of many accounts. While we were aware that this was an exploitation of mechanics and the steps involved were obviously exploits, we have reviewed the stance we took during this incident to determine whether our actions were correct and in the best interest of the ArcheAge community.
Clearly, the actions were not in the interest of the community. What exactly this means is not explained. However, some players have a suspicion.
There will be no compensation for the banned players. Also, the additional accounts created to exploit the game will remain banned.

These are currently the 7 most popular MMORPGs 2022
Are the low player numbers a reason for the lifting of bans?
What is the community’s interest? For an MMORPG to be enjoyable, it needs good players first and foremost. However, these are hard to find in ArcheAge. Much indicates that the MMORPG is slowly dying:
On Steam, there were a peak of 101 players playing ArcheAge simultaneously in the last 24 hours. The record is 6,509 players in 2014 (via SteamDB).
ArcheAge Unchained even had only 79 players at peak simultaneously. The highest number here is 7,242 players in 2019 – the release year of the spin-off.
Moreover, there is practically no exchange about the MMORPGs. The reddit of ArcheAge had only 3 new threads in the last 7 days. On the homepage, there are several posts asking which servers still have players or whether ArcheAge 2022 is completely dead.
There has also been no forum since the switch to Kakao Games, but there is a Discord server. At least there is some communication with the CMs of Kakao Games.
The mood is poor: Recently, Kakao Games and developer XL Games have repeatedly turned players against themselves due to bugs and exploits that remained for weeks or months, unjustified bans, or the prolonged server mergers.
Also, the announcement of ArcheWorld, the NFT game related to ArcheAge, was not well received. Many wish for Trion Games or even Gamigo to return as publishers.
Therefore, some suspect that Kakao Games is lifting the bans to win back a few hardcore players and thus strengthen the community. However, the future looks difficult for ArcheAge.
Many hope that eventually classic servers will come that return the game to its release state. However, there are currently no signs of this.
Another hope is ArcheAge 2, although there has been no update on that for quite some time:
There will be no compensation for the banned players. Also, the additional accounts created to exploit the game will remain banned.

Dead by Daylight is a nasty horror MMO that plays with our deepest and oldest fears. Additionally, an interesting community has gathered around the title, which can certainly be described as “lecherous”. The developers are picking up on this and bringing out a risqué spin-off in the summer.
How … and what? Yep, I also had to check my calendar, but April 1st has long passed. It’s true: Dead by Daylight, known for brutal horror action, is getting a spin-off on Steam this summer. And it’s a dating simulator.
We at MeinMMO were able to talk to the developers before the official reveal and show you in detail what this bizarre spin-off is all about.
We’re embedding the first trailer for “Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim” here:
Start video
Hooked on You im Trailer
What’s happening here? The folks from Behaviour Interactive want to expand the universe around Dead by Daylight. A spin-off is set to be released on Steam this summer.
In “Hooked on You” you get the dubious chance to date your favorite characters from the game. At the start, 4 of the killers are ready for flirting:
The Huntress
The Trapper
The Spirit
The Wraith
Like many matchmaking shows before, Dead by Daylight also recognizes the romantic potential of a tropical island with picturesque beaches and brings you together with dangerous psychopaths on the beautiful “Killer Island”.
Hooked on You is being developed in collaboration with the creators of Psyop. If you want to see what such a game looks like, take a look at the dating sim featuring Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken (via YouTube).
You can flirt with the killers, build a relationship, and get closer. Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships at Dead by Daylight, explained this in a bit more detail:
They are the same killers you know from Dead by Daylight, just in a slightly different version. They are of course a bit more playful, but still just as crazy and dangerous as in the main game. The Entity organizes everything and has a reason for creating this place.
Côté clarifies that the story is not official lore for the game. However, alongside the flirting with the killers, there is also a story to discover that is supposed to draw you into the game – horror, humor, and romance is what Hooked on You aims to offer.
Provided you survive the first advances from the killer of your heart. Our list of the best killers takes on a whole new meaning:
How can this happen? 2021 was a big year for Dead by Daylight. Senior Producer Stefan Beauchamp-Daniel explains that DbD reached 50 million players and about 2 million log in daily. It’s time to expand the universe.
Community feedback is particularly important in this process. Mathieu Côté said: “At the top of the list was a dating simulator. This surprised us. But it also shows the lecherous nature of our fans […] this is what we decided on (laughs).”
The community of Dead by Daylight is somewhat “special” in this regard. The relationship between killers and survivors can sometimes be described as “strange,” in a romantic sense.
There is a lot of fan fiction on social media, in which the game characters live peacefully together and even romantic relationships are depicted. Scrolling through Reddit a bit, you can quickly find examples of the somewhat extraordinary relationship some fans have with the protagonists of Dead by Daylight:

What else is there to know? Hooked on You starts in the summer on Steam with 4 killers in its portfolio. A more precise date is not yet available. Mathieu Côté emphasizes that whether more killers or survivors will be added depends on the success of the game.
For the main game, a crossover with the anime “Attack on Titan” has been announced, and a major event with Resident Evil – Project W.
Furthermore, the latest chapter is about to launch on the test server: Roots of Horror. This introduces the new killer “Dredge”, a survivor, and a new map. The characters were correctly leaked in advance.

The MOBA League of Legends will undergo a major change with the upcoming patch 12.10 on May 25: The nerf hammer hits all healers in LoL. They will heal 10-28% worse than they do now. Their ability to protect teammates with a shield will also decrease. Healers are angrily protesting, while the developers explain why the nerf is necessary.
This was the news today:
It has been known for some time that Riot Games wants to work on the damage and healing in League of Legends. Players are dropping from 100% health points to 0% too quickly, but they also heal from low health points back up to 100% very quickly. This is what they want to change – LoL should become slower and more understandable.
Today they presented exactly how they plan to do this with patch 12.10: Essentially, everyone will have more health points and be more resilient, but at the same time healing will be significantly reduced.
The healing ability in the game is expected to fall between 10 and 28%. Patch 12.10 is set to be released in a week on May 25.
Riot doesn’t want a “Mega-Mundo-Meta” – healing must go down
Why specifically nerf healers? Riot Phlox explains the reasoning behind it: Essentially, “healing” and “shielding” will automatically become stronger with patch 12.10 because they are simultaneously increasing the resilience of all champions and nerfing “Grevious Wound”; this is a debuff that reduces healing by 40-60%.
Already 10 days ago, Riot Games announced that they would significantly reduce overall damage in LoL by increasing health points, armor level, and magic resistance in the game. Players should know exactly what killed them.

But if the ability of all champions to live longer is increased, and at the same time the old healing remains, it could lead to huge problems. Champions that can already endure a lot would become practically immortal, Phlox explains.
Phlox adds: Riot is already expecting to make significant adjustments to individual champions. However, this can be better assessed once the patch is live.
Doctor Mundo, please!
“How are we supposed to have fun now?”
This is how healers are reacting: The announcement has already caused a lot of uncertainty. People fear that their favorite heroes in LoL will be the hardest hit:
“Will peeling supporters receive any kind of compensation? Shielding and healing is the only thing they do. How are we supposed to have fun now?”
“28% less healing for my boy, Swain. Well, at least he was somewhat okay for one patch.”
“Why don’t you create a Mega-Mundo-Meta? That would be great! And I say that without any bias as someone who only plays Mundo.”
He will surely manage with any meta:

How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends
How is the patch viewed overall? Currently, the patch is dividing the LoL community. Some are very skeptical, while others find the patch bold and are optimistic about it.
At the moment, it seems that mainly “ADCs” will benefit significantly from the patch, as longer fights allow their strong, sustained damage to shine. ADCs rely heavily on auto-attacks, which deal consistent damage.
The typical other killers in LoL like mages and assassins, particularly midlaners, rely more on burst damage through their abilities, which then have a cooldown before they can be used again.
With the next patch, a new champion is also expected to come to LoL:
Team Fortress 2 (2007, PC, PS3, Xbox 360) is an older game, but it has held its ground in the Steam charts for years. Unfortunately, bots are taking away the fun for many players. They are now calling for help: Valve needs to do it right.
What kind of game is this? Team Fortress 2 is a classic among team shooters, originally released in 2007. And although the shooter, with its comic-like style, understandably looks a bit dated after nearly 15 years, it still remains remarkably consistent in the Steam charts.
If you look at the current overview (via SteamCharts), Team Fortress 2 is listed in 13th place among the most played games on Steam – between Path of Exile and Warframe. An average of 71,365 players over the last 30 days is noted there – and the numbers have looked similar in previous months.
But there is a problem: A part of this player base is probably made up of bots – to such an extent that many real players are losing their fun.
This is a difficulty that fans of the game have been struggling with for some time.
In 2021, there was even a new player record and an update that was supposed to improve security measures against bots. However, players had already criticized that this had only a limited positive effect.
Now there apparently are still numerous bots filling the servers, ruining the game and even leading to good players being directly accused of being bots.
The problem itself has been ongoing for some time. Now players have started another wave to draw Valve’s attention to the bots.
Fans are campaigning for attention, want to get rid of the bots
This is what fans say: In many places, you can find players trying again to address the bot problem. This starts, for example, in the Steam reviews: There, Team Fortress 2 is advertised with 93% positive reviews, it is a popular game.
The downside remains the bots: If you look at the negative reviews, they are the main point of criticism of the game (via Steam). “Good game, but terribly treated by Valve,” a user finds, “Used to be a great game, but now it’s full of bots,” another criticizes.
Even YouTuber “SquimJim” addressed the problem in a video.

There he criticizes that the bot problem has been plaguing TF2 for 2 years. He asks that developer Valve takes a closer look – while security improvements are being made, they do nothing.
As a result, players also tried to draw more attention to TF2. For example, they reached out to voice actor Robin Atkin Downes, who worked on the game.

He responded to the community, saying that although he worked as a voice actor on the game, he is not employed by Valve. However, he wants to help and try to reach out to the developer.
Even the official Twitter account for Payday 2, a completely different game, briefly commented on the topic:

Furthermore, international gaming portals like IGN and Kotaku report that as a result of the video, numerous emails from fans came in, demanding that they want their game back. They hope to draw more attention to the problem this way.
So far, there has been no response from Valve, the developer, on the topic. Whether there will be improvements given the age of the shooter is at least currently open.
The last week of Season 16 in Destiny 2 starts today. This means the last opportunity to complete a few seasonal activities. Among them the golden Strike title for Conquerors, the Guardian Games items or the weapon, as well as the ornaments of the seasonal shotgun “Ruthless Threat.” We tell you what is active this week.
This week: The new Season 17 (name still unknown) begins on May 24, 2022. This means you can only use this week in the Season of the Resurrected to complete certain content. Additionally, this is also the last week of the Guardian Games event, where you fight for your class. The Warlocks currently dominate the leaderboard and have earned a good shot at the winner’s trophy.
In PvP, Lord Saladin will be replaced by the 14th Holy at the end of the week, as the Trials are active again from Friday. However, there is currently a lot of distrust in the Crucible, as hardware cheats are making the mode unfair and could also ruin the revamped Iron Banner in Season 17.
Hashladun, daughter of Crota, designed the red Scorn bastion to harness the energies of the pyramid buried in the abyss below. You are to drive her out of her refuge in the strike and thin out the progeny of Oryx.
Playlist strikes have these modifiers:
Void Singe
Heavyweight
Blackout
The Singe modifier accompanies you all week, while the others change daily.
These weapons are obtainable from Nightfalls: Each week, players can earn specific weapons from the Nightfall strikes. The current loot pool now contains six weapons in rotation. After last week’s automatic rifle was available for duty-bound, these weapons will be available before the loot changes in the new Season 17.
The Palindrome – 140 Void Hand Cannon
Plug-One.1 – Arc Fusion Rifle
Grandmaster Nightfalls: To start in the cream of the crop of Strikes, the Grandmaster Nightfall, through the Vanguard, you need a power level of 1,575. You will also be fighting in a competitive mode. This means you will be 25 power levels below the Grandmaster power level of 1,600, so you will need to proceed tactically and cohesively with your team. Additionally, the Nightfall weapon will drop as a master version, that is, Adept.
In the raid of the “Student’s Oath”, the challenge “Quick Destruction” starts. To complete it, players must defeat all unstoppable champions simultaneously or within a few seconds.
As a reward for the challenge in the first section of the Grandmaster raid, this week there is a chance for a master version of the submachine gun “Suppression”, the fusion rifle “Redemption” or the linear fusion rifle “Catastrophic”.
In the Vault of Glass, the Templar Challenge called “Strangers in Time” takes place. Note that you must defeat the Minotaurs in various timelines on Mars and Venus simultaneously with the Wyverns.
As a reward in the raid’s challenge mode, a time-warped weapon waits. This week it is the rocket launcher “Heze’s Revenge.” The weapon also comes with guaranteed 2 perks per slot. But always remember that hard and normal modes share the loot.
The armor focusing in the raid this week is: Strength
Weekly Activities
Savathun’s Throne World – Weekly Campaign Mission
“The Arrival”
This week you can play the first campaign mission at Grandmaster difficulty. You infiltrate a Cabal base on Mars and then bravely investigate Savathun’s ship for clues about the Light.
Crucible – These are the PvP playlists:

Petra Venjhas this week the 2nd Ascendant Challenge for you. You can find Petra and her quest offering at the location “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. Savathun has her fingers in play again, as the curse begins to reclaim the sacred city of the Awoken at level 1.
The last week of the Guardian Games event 2022: The Warlocks lead the ranking.
Sources for top loot in Season 16 of Destiny 2
This is the new max-level: In the new Season of the Resurrected, your gear’s maximum power level is 1,560. Thus, the power level at the start of the DLC has risen by +230 power levels compared to the previous Season 15. However, all players will also be raised to a base power level of 1,350 at the start, and there are many sources to level up quickly.

The end of the current Season 2 of Chapter 3 in Fortnite is approaching – and now there are also first hints about a big live event. Several leaks suggest an exciting finale.
This is happening in Fortnite: Today, the update 20.40 went live in Fortnite, bringing back the familiar Tilted Towers weapons. At the same time, the update introduced new data into the game that known leakers and dataminers immediately pounced on. They found a few exciting hints.
What the leaks show: The leaker “iFireMonkey” shared a whole series of code lines related to gameplay on Twitter, which are supposed to be used in a big event. It seems to be called “Armadillo,” and judging by the code lines, it looks like there will be an explosive battle with tanks and rockets.
An interesting point: The theme “Moon” appears more often. For example, there seems to be a “Moon Pod” that is entered and exited. This at least suggests that it could be going towards the moon and thus space. Also, shop backgrounds that iFireMonkey shares on Twitter fit the space motif.

It would also fit the “Moon” theme that in the past several rumors about an expansion of the Star Wars theme in Fortnite have arisen. Since early May, players could again fight with lightsabers and buy the already known Star Wars skins in the shop. The Obi-Wan series is set to launch soon – it is quite conceivable that there will be another collaboration between Star Wars and Fortnite, just like in past Star Wars films.
More leaks: Users are sharing additional leaks about the upcoming event in the subreddit “FortniteLeaks“. These suggest that the team leaders from past seasons could play a role. Additionally, it is possible that there will be longer downtime after the event.
However, there is still no official information about the event. So far, it is only leaks that could come into the game in completely different forms or not at all.
When does the event start? Again, there is no official time yet, but the current Battle Pass runs until June 4. This date would be suitable for an event.
Live event for the season finale is taking shape in Fortnite
The “Collider” already looks like an epic finale
This is currently happening in the game: There is also a new development in Fortnite that is already live. A new POI has appeared in the middle of the map – the “Collider.” This giant device is crawling with IO troops.
It seems that the I.O., after several defeats in the battles against the Seven over the past weeks, has gathered here to prepare for the grand finale. Fans are already referring to the “Collider” as the new “Doomsday Device” – which was the driving force behind the end event of Season 2 in Chapter 2.
However, what exactly will happen here at the season finale will likely only become clear in the coming weeks.
DrDisrespect’s gaming studio, Midnight Society, loses its chief strategist and marketing boss, Ryan Mitchell, after just 4 months. Mitchell switched from a secure job as a data analyst to the gaming studio to pursue his dream. But that didn’t come true.
Who is he?
Ryan Mitchell is an experienced marketing specialist who analyzes and utilizes data. Mitchell has been in the job for 8 years, holding several leadership positions. He is also active as a Twitch streamer (Lorumerth, 2778 followers).
Most recently, Mitchell worked as the “Director of Data Analysis” at Extractable, a service provider for companies in the financial sector. (via linked)
In February 2022, Mitchell left his secure job there and joined “Midnight Society,” the gaming studio of YouTuber DrDisrespect. He took on a central role as “Lead Content Strategist”: he was responsible for the entire marketing of the product with which Midnight Society approached customers.
Mitchell wanted to fulfill a dream – to work in gaming
Why did he switch there? Mitchell also works as a content creator on Twitch. He apparently found the opportunity to build a company from the ground up with DrDisrespect very appealing.
Midnight Society was my dream job. I looked for a company that I thought I could combine my content and my experience in marketing while leading a team. The team was fantastic. My direct supervisor inspired the whole team.
Ideas had to be laid at the emperor’s feet
What went wrong? According to Mitchell, there was one person in the leadership team of Midnight Society who created a terrible work environment. This person yelled at people and tore them down.
At first, Mitchell thought it was only like that during the “crunch time,” the hot phase before a game is released. Traditionally, crunch time is the worst time of development, with nerves running high. But it got worse and worse.
Ultimately, this person, with their horrible attitude, made any creative work impossible. Because you can’t work creatively when the entire job revolves around avoiding a conflict with the boss, as Mitchell explains.

In a meeting, the goal should be to develop creative ideas and consider how to implement them. It shouldn’t be about laying ideas at the emperor’s feet.
Mitchell says he wanted to clear the problem, to resolve it in personal and public discussions, but he was unsuccessful. After a particularly nasty meeting full of “verbal abuse,” he decided to leave the company. He prepared for it and executed it.
After his resignation, he wanted to ensure a smooth transition, but he was thrown out of the communication channels within an hour.
No bad words against DrDisrespect – Only positives
Was that DrDisrespect? No, it was not. Mitchell has nothing bad to say about the Doctor: He says every interaction with DrDisrespect has been positive. He has an incredible amount of good ideas.
But ultimately, no job in the world is worth jeopardizing your mental and emotional health.
Despite his appearance as an always dissatisfied, loudmouthed loudmouth, DrDisrespect seems to be a creative and professional person under the costume, who interacts correctly with others – except of course with Alex, the producer whom he fires three times a week:
Elden Ring has been on the market for a few weeks now. Many players have already lost interest. If you’re looking for some variety and want to play a truly unique build, we at MeinMMO want to introduce you to something: the deadly bubble build.
Elden Ring is very popular and continues to be celebrated by players even 3 months after release. However, some fans are currently losing interest.
Whether you know Elden Ring by heart or are just looking for new variety, we have a fun and powerful build for you here. With this, you will destroy bosses using bubbles.
Bubble Build: How to easily blast your opponents away
What kind of build is this? For several weeks now, the bubble build has been circulating in the Elden Ring community as a sort of absurd insider tip among builds. The bubbles in the game are not only absurdly funny, but also actually very powerful.
Certain weapons in the game, like the Horn of the Messenger, allow you to fire holy bubbles through their weapon talent, which can deal a lot of damage. This way, trumpets become deadly instruments in multiple senses.
YouTuber skumnut has laid this build out in detail in a video. In it, you can see not only how exactly this build should be put together. He also shows how he literally blows away gigantic endgame bosses like the Dragon Lord Placudisax or the Elden Beast.
Here you can see skumnut’s video:

What weapons does this build use? The build revolves around 2 weapons:
Horn of the Messenger
Longhorn of the Messenger
Both weapons are in our tier list at a strong A rank. The larger form of this weapon type, the Great Horn of the Messenger, is not considered good enough to use by the YouTuber.
Both weapons are rare drops from the Messengers, which you will find shortly after entering the capital Leyndell or at the Crown of the Halig Tree. The larger enemies drop the Longhorn, while the smaller ones drop the basic Horn of the Messenger.
If you’re already in the late game, the enemies no longer appear in Leyndell. Here, you will have to avoid the Halig Tree, which is, however, a significantly worse alternative due to the terrain. So try to, if possible, obtain the weapons in the capital before defeating Maliketh.
This is what the YouTuber’s bubble build looks like
Additionally, he uses a Finger Seal to utilize the Golden Oath invocation. This enhances the attack power and defense of you and your allies.
What armor does the build use? The YouTuber uses the Messenger Crown because it enhances bubble attacks. You can find this crown southwest of the grace point “Halig Tree – Crown,” on the body hidden behind a very large Messenger.
For optical “completeness,” he also uses the robe of the noble of the Godskin, as it gives your character the round body shape of the Messengers.
As for talismans, he uses:
Heritage of the Two Fingers: Increases Faith
Marika’s Scarseal: Significantly increases your attributes but also the damage taken
Shard of Alexander: Increases the damage of weapon talents
Build brings variety thanks to a rain of deadly bubbles
What makes the build so good? If you’re looking for some variety in Elden Ring, you should definitely try the bubble build.
It plays not only uniquely compared to other builds and can break the routine in Elden Ring, but it is also simply very powerful. And that in both PvE and PvP.
Additionally, thanks to the attribute distribution, you can also flexibly use other Faith builds if you want. The incredibly strong Blasphemous Blade for example is well-suited if you want to swing a sword classically.
Pro
Deals a lot of damage
Plays unlike any other build
Can flexibly switch to other Faith builds
Contra
Weapons must be farmed
Only really good in late game or New Game Plus.
What are the downsides of the build? The major downside of the build is clear; you need patience for its core. The weapons without which the build is not possible are relatively tedious and annoying to farm – especially when you only have the Halig Tree as a farming spot.
Additionally, the build becomes playable at the earliest only after you’ve been to the capital. Since the Messenger Crown can only be found in the Halig Tree, it will only be really good in the late game or in New Game Plus.
What do you think of the build? Have you heard of it or maybe even tried it already? Are you currently looking for ways to break up a routine in Elden Ring a bit? Or are you already playing other games again? Let us know in the comments.
If you’re looking for the currently strongest build in Elden Ring, you can’t miss that of YouTuber RageGamingVideos:
In Fortnite, the servers will go down today, May 17, on all platforms (PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). The maintenance will be used to upload the new update 20.40 to the servers. Preliminary patch notes for the update can be found here.
What is happening today in Fortnite? This time you can expect a patch, and the servers will be taken offline for maintenance and the new patch 20.40.
The patch brings new skins, wild weapons, and possibly changes to the map. To make sure you don’t miss anything, we at MeinMMO will regularly update this article throughout the day for you.
Update 14:15: The update is now available for download. On the PS5, the download is 5.031 GB. After downloading, you can log back in and play. We have listed and updated all known patch notes in the article.
In the meantime, you can listen to our podcast about the rise and fall of Fortnite:
Important times for the server downtime today in Fortnite – When and how long will it be offline?
This is the downtime in the morning: The servers are expected to go down at 10:00 AM our time to install update 20.30. The matchmaking will already be disabled 30 minutes prior, so you won’t be able to search for new rounds from 09:30 AM.
When can you play again? The servers are usually offline for several hours during such maintenance and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by the updates of the past weeks.
During such maintenance, there can also always be technical problems, bugs, and delays. If such complications should arise, we will report them to you immediately here.
When will the patch notes come? Epic Games has not published patch notes for a while now. However, community members usually find and report changes quickly. If there are still important changes, we will also update this article for you.
What new content does update 20.40 bring?
What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? Concrete statements from Epic Games regarding the contents of patch 20.30 are not yet available. However, leaks and data miners have often proven to be reliable sources in the past. These changes are certain:
Wild Week: Flip World Chaos
Flip World Rifle and Minigun are available again
Since the release of the update, the theme week “Flip World Chaos” has been running. It runs until May 27 and allows you to obtain the Flip World Rifle and Minigun from chests. However, to upgrade the weapons, you no longer need cube monsters, but a workbench. Additionally, Epic will provide new XP tasks that you can complete with the weapons.
Voting begins for Shield Bubbles or Balloons
Which device do you choose?
The testing phase for the two gadgets is over, and now you have the chance to vote in the biggest POIs for your favorite. If the community donates enough gold, one of the two items will be made available.
More strategic items for Zero Build
More items for no Build
Fortnite has increased the likelihood of rewarding you with useful items like the Cow Catcher thanks to the temporary event “Trick Shots from the Vault”. However, Epic decided to permanently increase the likelihood in Zero Build mode so you can benefit from the goodies more often.
Shared Wallet helps you with your V-Bucks
Your V-Bucks are safe
Epic has implemented a system with today’s update that aggregates your V-Bucks across the following platforms:
Playstation
Xbox
Android
Cloud Gaming Services
So if you had V-Bucks on Xbox, they will now be visible on all listed platforms and added to your existing amount.
Latency reduction PS5 and Xbox Series X
Epic has worked a lot on the performance of the next-gen consoles for Fortnite to ensure a clean 60 FPS on your screens. Now your controller’s input lag has been reduced as the developers have activated a suitable option in the settings.
PS5 and 120 FPS in Fortnite
Thanks to Fortnite, you can now manually set whether you want to play with 120 FPS in Fortnite. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the Settings in Fortnite via the sidebar.
Select Graphics.
Set the 120 FPS mode to ON.
Select Apply.
Changes for the server region “Middle East”
As players in the Middle East are struggling to manage decent matches due to high pings, Fortnite has automatically changed their server settings to “Automatically”.
This connects players to servers from Asia or Europe to ensure better ping. However, if you change the setting arbitrarily, you will have to expect high pings again.
Competitive notes
Automatic replenishment in Arena has been activated.
The Flip World weapons that are brought back from the vault during Wild Week are not available in competitive modes.
The winner of the vote between the Shield Bubbles and the Balloons will not come from the vault for competitive modes.
Important bug fixes
A bug has been fixed that caused players not to receive social notifications when they were in a party and in a match with another player.
A bug was fixed where the UI of the Anvil Rocket Launcher was not displayed.
What do you think of the constant updates that Fortnite feeds with new content? Do you think it’s cool that Epic is making the effort, or are the constant updates getting on your nerves? Let us know in the comments!

The Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour takes place today, on May 17, 2022. This time, the Water-type Pokémon Magikarp is the focus. Here you will find everything about the start time, the XP bonus, and Shiny Magikarp.
This is the event: The Spotlight Hour takes place regularly every Tuesday evening in Pokémon GO. For 60 minutes, a specific Pokémon is put in the spotlight.
It will appear significantly more frequently. On this Tuesday, this Pokémon is Magikarp. In addition, there is always an extra bonus that you can use during the hour.
Spotlight Hour with Magikarp – Start, Bonuses, and Shiny
When does the Spotlight Hour start? As always, the Spotlight Hour this week starts at 6:00 PM and runs until 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? The Magikarp spawns will be increased so much that you can find them almost everywhere in the wild. With incense, you can attract even more Magikarp.
Additionally, you will receive extra XP for every Pokémon you evolve during the Spotlight Hour. This applies not only to Magikarp but to everything you can evolve. It’s best to search your Pokémon storage in advance and mark the Pokémon you may want to evolve.
Are there Shiny Magikarp? Yes, Shiny Magikarp is available, and you can catch it in the wild. The Shiny chance itself is not increased during the Spotlight Hour, but due to the sheer number of spawns, you may have a promising opportunity to catch the shiny Magikarp.
You can evolve the golden Magikarp into the red Gyarados
Is the Spotlight Hour with Magikarp worth it today?
This is how strong it is: Magikarp itself is notoriously weak; it is famous for its uselessness. However, its evolution, Gyarados, not only looks cool but is also one of the best Water attackers in Pokémon GO.
Start video
Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
If you still lack a Gyarados, you should definitely take advantage of the Spotlight Hour. After all, you need a total of 400 candies for Magikarp, which are not so easy to collect. During the Spotlight Hour, you have a really good chance of getting them.
For whom is the Spotlight Hour worth it? Basically, anyone who is still missing a Gyarados should go for it. However, Magikarp has been available in the game for a long time – those who already have enough can skip the big fish collection.
However, you can make progress on the Magikarp medal during the Spotlight Hour, for which you need to catch 300 large Magikarp – and the medal is one of the most difficult to obtain in the game.
Otherwise, it’s worth searching through your Pokémon collection for evolutions today. You can earn some XP for the next level without much effort.

In the MMORPG World of Warcraft, the final boss of the raid Sunwell was released in 2008: Kil’jaeden, an important figure in the story of WoW. Back then, it took 62 days for the first guild to defeat him. In 2022, Kil’jaeden returned as the final boss in WoW Classic. He was dead after 52 minutes. This is not only due to the fact that players are much better today – no, Blizzard also resorted to tricks back then.
What was WoW like back then?
The raid “Sunwell” was a strange story in WoW back then. Because actually, the expansion “The Burning Crusade” felt finished with the death of Illidan Stormrage on June 5, 2007 by the legendary guild Nihilum and WoW fell into a slumber.
But Blizzard brought a major update with “Fury of the Sunwell” on March 25, 2008, to not leave fans without new content for a year and a half until “Wrath of the Lich King” would be released in November 2008.
The “Sunwell Plateau” brought tough opponents in the raid, plus the last 3 bosses were “timegated”, meaning you couldn’t immediately access the final bosses:
The story of WoW was also shaped by bugs:
Start video
Watch the video about the 5 bugs that made history in WoW
Due to timegates, bosses held out for more than 2 months in 2008
How did the bosses die back then? The bosses of the raid held out for a long time back then (via method.gg):
The raid opened on March 25 and the first 3 bosses died relatively quickly: Kalecgos, Brutallus, and Felmyst were defeated within 2 days after the raid opened.
The “Eredar Twins” only appeared on April 8 and died on April 10.
The boss M’Uru appeared on April 29 and died on May 4 – he held out for quite a while.
The final boss Kil’jaeden only appeared on March 20, 2008, and died on May 25.
From the start of the raid to its end, Kil’jaeden held out for 62 days and provided variety. You can watch the kill from back then in the video (via YouTube).
How is this commented? It is seen quite sarcastically. On reddit , people make fun of the fact that Kil’jaeden, a powerful “Demon Lord of the Burning Legion”, slaughterer of a thousand worlds, only holds out so briefly.
People then mockingly say: It’s because he has no legs in this version – everyone knows that the legs are what makes Kil’jaeden truly powerful.
The biggest German Twitch streamer, Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, has been planning to host his own tournament in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 since April. Some well-known personalities from Twitch and YouTube were involved. However, MontanaBlack had to interrupt the tournament after nearly 2 hours due to DDoS attacks on the server.
What kind of tournament was it?In MontanaBlack’s “Black Ops 2” tournament, 8 teams of 4 players each were supposed to compete against each other. The team leaders were 8 well-known content creators from YouTube and Twitch, who could bring in 3 more people. They played against each other for 8,000 Euros.
On May 14th, at 4 PM, it started. You can see the exact teams in MontanaBlack’s tweet:
How was the preparation? The servers were hosted by Plutonium in America. However, the setup turned out to be more difficult than expected, and the host had to set everything up individually. Because of this, the tournament was even postponed (via Twitter).
YouTuber HapticRush and his colleagues also helped set up the servers, moderated them, and got everything running. They tested the servers for a month to see if everything was stable, Haptic shared on the tournament evening.
Would you like to learn more about MontanaBlack? You can do that in our video:

DDoS attacks force MontanaBlack to cancel the tournament
How did the tournament go? Almost not at all. At first, it seemed everything was running smoothly. But then the lags started, and the participants complained about pings between 300 and 400. Initially, it wasn’t clear what was causing this, as the servers and internet were stable.
Eventually, it became clear that DDoS attacks were likely being executed on the IP address. For nearly 2 hours, Haptic, his colleagues, and MontanaBlack tried to get the tournament up and running.

Eris had already lost hope after about an hour: “When it runs, it runs. If we have problems again, we will cancel the tournament.” And that’s exactly what happened. The streamer canceled the tournament and said:
There’s nothing we can do now, chat. This is very, very sad. (…) Haptic invested so much time and love into this with his team, and this is an absolute disaster for him right now.
HapticRush was visibly affected after investing so much time, and he left the stream for a while. MontanaBlack, on the other hand, appeared to take it relatively calmly:
I’m being honest, guys, I’m used to this. You know how it is, DDoS has always been a problem. (…) On montanablack.de, for example, we were also regularly DDoS’d when we had events.
MontanaBlack
He further urged his Twitch colleagues not to get upset about it, as the DDoS attackers want exactly that. He then continued with his stream, playing Fall Guys and other games with some participants of the tournament.
Is there a reschedule for the tournament? Probably not for now. MontanaBlack only mentioned at the end: “The ‘Black Ops 2’ tournament is unfortunately canceled for now. (…) It is what it is. We can’t change anything now and we won’t be able to change anything. Wipe your mouth and move on – it’s that simple.”
In Fortnite there have been many skins from influencers, streamers, YouTubers, and even stars since the release of the “Icons Series”. Epic has now developed a new icon skin that is set to be released soon. However, find out why this one belongs to the worst YouTuber in Fortnite here.
Who is Ali-A? Alastair Aiken, known as Ali-A or Matroix, is one of the most famous British YouTubers. He creates videos around Call of Duty and Fortnite and currently has 17.5 million subscribers (as of May 17, 2022). However, many players disdain Ali for his tactics, how he brings in the clicks for his videos.
Exaggerated thumbnails of his videos accompanied by unnecessary and misplaced red arrows with distorted faces are what this is about – also known as clickbait.
Every YouTuber has heard of it and some practice it as well, to easily and quickly attract many viewers to their videos. But Alastair has redefined clickbait.
Ali-A has taken clickbait to a new level
What has Ali-A done wrong? The 28-year-old YouTuber has a bad reputation in the Fortnite community. On reddit it was discussed why Ali-A is so hated.
A clickbait image that Ali often uses
It’s not only the exceedingly exaggerated images of his videos that encourage clicks, but also his videos that do not deliver what is promised in the title.
Although Ali does not clickbait as much anymore, this has been ingrained in the memory of many viewers. Many know that when a video with a red arrow appears on his channel, it is worth considering twice whether to click on it at all.
Ali’s skin is currently the best of the Icons Series: iFireMonkey, a well-known leaker, has listed all the cosmetic items and styles of his skin. These show a huge amount of combination possibilities that players will have after purchase.

Ninja had long begged for his own skin and then received it after months of requests. Alastair, however, receives a better outfit with cooler items and without any request from his side.
What do you think about the fact that Ali has been able to snag the best icons skin so far? Do you find it crazy that even Ninja, the poster boy of Fortnite, received a worse one? Feel free to let us know in the comments how you feel about it!

In Pokémon GO, the “Alola Season” is currently running with several special research tasks. You should complete them on time to secure a bonus.
These are the research tasks: Since early March, the “Alola Season” has been ongoing. Over the past few weeks, it has included four special research tasks. When you open your game now, you should see all four and possibly have already completed them.
Theoretically, you have unlimited time to complete these tasks. Nevertheless, you should hurry a bit. More specifically: By June 1, you should have completed all four.
Bonus research is available starting May 25
Why you should finish soon: If you fully complete the four research tasks by June 1, 2022, you will unlock a bonus research for free: The “End of Season Special Research.”
Basically, it is already available starting May 25 and can be collected until June 1 – trainers in the Pokémon GO subreddit also point this out (via reddit).
So, if you finish the other research tasks by May 25, you can immediately start the fifth research task. What the research will yield is still not known.
What if I can’t complete the research tasks? You can still obtain the completion research even if you do not finish the other four tasks. However, you will need to buy a ticket in the in-game shop, which costs around 5 euros. Alternatively, you can skip the 5th research.
Accordingly, it makes sense to complete the 4 research tasks beforehand.
The Water Festival is currently happening in Pokémon GO
Are the research tasks difficult? Generally, all four research tasks are relatively easy to complete and sometimes overlap. In the current Poni research, you will need to battle Team Rocket, but there is a trick to help you finish faster.
Often, you need to catch multiple monsters of a specific type – but this is usually quickly done if you look around a bit. The Poni research requires some water-type monsters, which you can easily catch as long as the Water Festival is still running.
Additionally, you will need to take a snapshot of a water-type monster. Some trainers reported issues here, but there is an easy solution.
In addition, there are further tasks in the other research, such as sending gifts, winning raids, or collecting kilometers and hearts for your buddies. None of it is rocket science – just keep an eye on the timing to secure the bonus research.
Have you completed the research tasks already? Let us know in the comments!

Mario Strikers: Battle League Football is a new game for the Nintendo Switch. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch does not own the console and has few connections to Nintendo. However, the latest video about the game excites him.
What makes the video so special? The commentator! Because the match that Nintendo published on its YouTuber channel is commented on by Frank Buschmann. And Buschi is, for me, one of the best and most emotional commentators in German football.
Start video
Mario Strikers: Battle League Football video with Frank Buschmann
Since I was a small child, I have been a football fan. As a native of Gelsenkirchen, you hardly escape that. However, when you follow a match for 90 minutes, you mainly see boring passes.
However, in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football, everything happens in quick succession. Accordingly, the commentary by Frank Buschmann is also entertaining. The constant action captivates me. If I had a Nintendo Switch, I would probably have bought the game after this video and pre-ordered it immediately.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What exactly kind of game is this? Battle League Football is the third part of the football series featuring the little plumber Mario.
The game does not aim to be realistic, like FIFA, but focuses on fast action, boosts, and random items like the banana or the green shell, which you know from Mario Kart.
Two teams with five characters each play against each other. You can play alone, in pairs, or even with up to eight players in local co-op.
The game also has an online function and even the “Club Mode”, where you can create and play through your own season with up to 20 friends.
When will it be released? Mario Strikers: Battle League Football will celebrate its release on June 10, 2022. It will be released for the Nintendo Switch and costs 59.99 euros.
Does the trailer appeal to you as well? Have you had the game on your radar or is such an unrealistic football game not your thing? Feel free to write it in the comments.
The Cowboy Epic Red Dead Redemption 2 is a huge hit for publisher Take-Two and developer Rockstar. However, the online offshoot, Red Dead Online, was supposed to be further developed. Since 2021, there have been no updates: Fans have been trying to force a statement about the future of the MMO with the hashtag #SaveRedDeadOnline since January 2022. The statement did come and made brief hope, but the bubble quickly burst.
This is the situation:
Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold incredibly well. It was a huge hit on PS4 and Xbox One in 2018 and came out on PC in 2019. Take-Two is said to have sold over 44 million units of the Cowboy Epic by now.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is not being developed with DLCs but is finished after the campaign. However, the online mode, Red Dead Online, was supposed to receive updates and expansions for years. Just like GTA 5 was not developed further, but GTA Online was.
The last DLC of Red Dead Online is now almost a year old:
This was the fans’ idea: Although Red Dead Online has been poorly supplied with updates, it is still a beautiful game, as it is based on Red Dead Redemption 2, which has incredibly high production values. Red Dead Redemption 2 has an impressive score of about 97% on Metacritic (PS4, Xbox One). It is considered a milestone in gaming for its graphics and atmosphere.
There are some thousands of people who love spending their time in the prairie, riding around and experiencing adventures. Especially during the Corona crisis, many used Red Dead Online as a destination to escape from the gray reality. Because when you put on a mask in Red Dead Online, something exciting happens afterward, like a bank robbery, whereas in reality, not much exciting happens when you put on a mask.
The fans have been putting pressure on Rockstar since January 2022 with a campaign #SaveRedDeadOnline via Twitter and Reddit for more content.
CEO says: Take-Two continues to support Red Dead Online
This is what the CEO says: In an interview with IGN, the head of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, was asked about the campaign. He said:
“Rockstar Games is talking about the updates that are coming, and we are working on a damn lot of stuff at Rockstar Games. I’ve heard the frustration, and I’m honored that they want more content. Everything else will be said by Rockstar in due time.”
When asked whether Take-Two is still planning to support Red Dead Online, it was said: That is still the plan.
How could one interpret that? One could interpret it as “updates are in the works and something is coming”. That was enough reason for hope that new updates for Red Dead Redemption 2 would actually be released.
