Flat and whisper-quiet: One of the best keyboards I have tested so far in 2025

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 7 minutes

With the ROG Falchion Low Profile, Asus offers a high-quality gaming keyboard. Especially minor details mar the otherwise very good overall impression, finds MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann.

[toc]

The ROG Falchion Low Profile is a small, sleek keyboard from the manufacturer Asus. The keyboard stands out mainly due to its compact 65%-format, which means it is not much larger than an A4 sheet of paper folded in the middle.

In everyday use, it has accompanied me. In the test, I explain why I can truly recommend the keyboard despite some flaws.

Test Overview

Who tested it?

Benedikt is a Tech Editor at MeinMMO and has a passion for peripherals, testing mice, keyboards, and gaming headsets. He has been testing hardware for MeinMMO for many years.

The tested model was ordered by Benedikt privately on Amazon.

Delivery, Design, and Construction

What does the delivery include? In the box, besides the keyboard, mainly the necessary accessories are included: charging or connection cable, the USB dongle for the wireless connection, and a plastic cover that can be placed on the keyboard for protection.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

How is the keyboard constructed? The ROG Falchion is a keyboard for minimalists, as you get a 65%-layout: there is neither a numpad nor dedicated function keys: the latter can be used via the FN key.

The advantage of this: the keyboard is very compact: it measures just 30.5 centimeters, which is as long as a standard A4 sheet of paper or two Blu-ray boxes placed side by side.

What does the keyboard look like? The keyboard comes in a white design. Currently, the keyboard is only available in white, there is no black edition yet. White hardware tends to have the disadvantage of discoloring unsightly over time in everyday use. The keyboard is also only very limited in terms of customization due to its very specific keycaps or the built-in switches.

Processing

Positive: Metal as material, keyboard cover | Negative: ABS keycaps, no replacements available, no hotswap | Neutral: RX switches are proprietary,

The keyboard uses a metal chassis cover, which protects the board underneath. The bottom, on the other hand, is made of plastic. Nevertheless, the keyboard makes a high-quality impression at first glance. The plastic cover included in the delivery is practical. It protects the keyboard somewhat against external influences such as dust or pet hair when not in use.

Asus relies on its own RX switches for the keyboard, which are not compatible with the otherwise common MX switches used throughout the gaming industry. And this has a clear disadvantage: you cannot really change the keycaps of the keyboard – for example, to a different color – or replace broken, worn-out keys. I also could not find replacement keys from the manufacturer available for order. A decision that I absolutely cannot understand.

Another disadvantage: the RX switches are firmly soldered to the keyboard, you cannot exchange the switches. Hotswap technology is therefore not available.

Another disadvantage: Asus “only” uses UV-coated ABS keycaps and not PBT keycaps or the Doubleshot process. My concern is that the keycaps will wear out quickly and then look quite horrible. This is particularly frustrating because getting replacements for the installed keycaps is not easy.

Software

Positive: – | Negative: Slow and unclear, aggressive prompts for registration and advertising | Neutral: many features can be left disabled

ASUS relies on Armoury Crate as software for its hardware. At least: I can now freely decide which contents I install with the software and can uninstall all the advertising. However, there is still a note at the bottom about the feature collection and what nice things one could install. This note cannot be hidden. Annoying, but bearable.

Aggressive advertising for wallpaper.
The unclear update menu. Clarity could be better.
Advertising for new features at the bottom.
Armoury Crate by Asus: Unclear, aggressive, not very intuitive, and too much self-advertising.

Nevertheless, ASUS remains aggressive in its software: I am constantly being prompted to log in or install great new features (any wallpapers). Besides, Armoury Crate takes up between 350 and 400 megabytes of RAM on my system. For software that I only want to use for the keyboard, that is a lot. Thus, it is somewhere between resource-hungry Synapse (Razer) and iCue (Corsair).

I can’t find much good about the software. At least: I can use the keyboard without the software without losing any functionality.

Ergonomics

Positive: small, slim design, low profile | Negative: (too) small shift key for Qwertz layout | Neutral: –

The keyboard is not much larger than a folded piece of paper. On the table, it takes up little space, which is a significant plus for desk ergonomics. The smaller the keyboard, the smaller the angle of your arm between the mouse and the keyboard.

Thanks to the “Low Profile” keycaps, the height of the keyboard is very low. At its highest point with the feet up, its height measures only 2.5 centimeters, which is very little, allowing the keys to be easily reached without a wrist rest or other accessories. For comparison: Razer’s Blackwidow V4 Pro 75 % (for the test) is already 3 centimeters high at its lowest point.

The small size also affects the keys: the left shift key, for example, is smaller than on regular Qwertz keyboards, while the caps key is larger. Since I type very quickly, I do occasionally hit the wrong key in everyday use. Therefore, you will not get a perfect German Qwertz layout.

The Keys

Positive: quiet, pre-lubricated switches; great typing and gaming feel; very quiet; back with touch panel | Negative: no hotswap and no alternative keycaps; spacebar notably audible | Neutral: illumination on some keys is only weak)

Under the keycaps of my keyboard are the “Asus ROG RX Red Low Profile” switches, which are pre-lubricated and dampened.

One thing that I noticed: a few keys, including the special keys and the Enter key, are only weakly illuminated. If you cannot type blind in the dark, you may have a problem. For me, it’s bearable since I can type blind. Otherwise, the illumination is good.

Convenient is the touch panel located on the back of the keyboard. This allows various things on the PC to be adjusted with a touch, such as the volume.

How loud is the keyboard? The switches thanks to optical and linear technology are nearly inaudible. What you hear are the key presses when you touch the keycaps with the tips of your fingers. The only key that is notably audible is the spacebar, which is not well dampened.

In a loudness test, I measured the volume of the keyboard in decibels. I tested how loud the keyboard gets when I type normally in everyday use. The typing volume was between 30 and 40 decibels. This is noticeable but not disturbing. A Netflix series in the background is louder than typing on the keyboard.

Conclusion: Slim, well-made gaming keyboard with minor flaws

Is the keyboard worth it? With an RRP of 189.90, I find the keyboard somewhat too expensive; the market price is between 130 and 140 Euros. For this price you get a well-made gaming keyboard with minor weaknesses that are bearable.

The chaotic, immature software is, in my opinion, the most annoying aspect. Otherwise, you can hardly go wrong with the keyboard in everyday use. In particular, the very low volume and the “Low Profile” keys are significant positives for the model.

What alternatives are there?

  • With the Logitech G G515, you get a good, even better alternative. The processing is poorer, but you get PBT keycaps and more refined software.
  • With the Keychron K3 Ultra-Slim, you also get a decent keyboard in a low-profile format with minor quality issues. Especially the keycaps are of rather weak quality.

I was perfectly prepared for the new season of Pokémon Legends Z-A, but after 15 minutes it was all over

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon Legends Z-A the new ranking season has started, and MeinMMO editor Niko has prepared perfectly for it. But after less than 15 minutes, he was quite disappointed.

What does perfectly prepared mean? Surprisingly, I had quite a lot of fun in the ranking mode in Pokémon Legends Z-A. With my Stalobor, I was able to obtain the Mega Stone of Quajutsu in just one evening. For Season 2 and the Mega Stone of Fennexis, I wanted to try something different.

Instead of relying on a Mega Evolution, my girlfriend kindly built me a perfect Glaziola, the subjectively best Eevee evolution. Glaziola has a strong special attack value, and both defense and special defense are solid, making it a good Ice Pokémon choice, especially when you want to defeat the many Dragon Pokémon.

So she built me a perfect Glaziola:

  • You can find the Ruler Glaziola in Wild Sector 20.
  • Using a mint changes the nature to Modest (can be bought in the building courtyard, left next to Wild Sector 3).
  • In the Corrosio clan, you reset the EVs and redistribute them using items.
  • For a Glaziola that is to function as a special attacker, you must give it the following:
    • 26 Carbon for speed (256 EVs)
    • 26 Calcium for special attack (256 EVs)
    • Thanks to Zinc, an additional 4 EVs in special defense
    • You can find the items in the game, or you can buy them in the Pokémon Center
  • During the Super Special Training, you will also need to maximize the IV values. You can view them for each Pokémon when you go to report on the values. It shows you how high the IVs are for the different values.
  • You will need bottle caps for that. With a silver bottle cap, you can increase one IV value to the maximum (Maximized), and with a gold bottle cap, even all of them.
  • Of course, for the perfect Glaziola, you want to increase all of them.

This is what the whole thing can look like:

Glaziola Pokémon Legends Z-A, values (1)

Then there were the attacks, and there are various options. For my Glaziola, the attack set looked like this:

  • Freeze-Dry as the main attack (AOE attack, but you have to be closer and it’s very effective against Water Pokémon (Impergator, Garados))
  • Snowstorm to finish off opponents (hits opponents from a longer distance)
  • Shadow Ball (good against Ghost and Psychic Pokémon (Metagross, Gardevoir))
  • 4. Options: Calm Mind, Quick Attack, Ice Beam, Roar

So the perfect Glaziola was ready and I was prepared to unlock the new stone without Mega Evolutions and also to fight against the many Dragon Pokémon like Dragoran or Knakrack. But after just 15 minutes, the goal was achieved, for which you actually don’t have to put in much effort.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A shows the contents of the DLC Mega Dimensions in the new trailer

After 3 matches, there was already Mega Fennexis

How did the matches go? Although the Glaziola was quite strong, there were more problems than with Stalobor, especially because many players bring a Charizard. So you should have a Pokémon with Rock attacks with you. Also, don’t forget to boost your attacks with the plus button.

After only 3 matches, I reached Rank S and unlocked the Mega Stone of Fennexis.

Honestly: That was disappointing. Sure, for players who just want the stone, it is beneficial, but it doesn’t encourage trainers to experiment with different combinations or Pokémon. You can also just afk spam a few attacks with any Pokémon, and since you usually come out with a plus anyway, even when you lose, the ranking mode is quite irrelevant. The different ranks do not necessarily show who played best, but just who played the most.

In the higher ranks, there are rewards as well, such as bottle caps, but why would you use them to build good Pokémon when it doesn’t matter for reaching the ranks?

And on the other side: Are you forcing players who want all the stones to sign up for a subscription just to get everything online after 3 matches? If you already need a subscription, the developers should create incentives to engage longer with the mode.

But still, the mode is still fun because my Glaziola showed me that you don’t necessarily need a Mega Evolution to rack up victories in the rankings. I will probably continue to try new combinations and Pokémon, but the game must definitely introduce new rewards, otherwise, the mode will eventually become really boring.

ARC Raiders: The best builds for solo and squad players from the current meta

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 5 minutes

In ARC Raiders, good aim is not everything. Your success largely depends on your gear and the choices made in your skill tree. So, to enter the surface as a powerful raider, I will show you the two best builds from the current meta.

What information can I find here? In these builds, I list all the important info you need to recreate them. This includes the necessary weapon loadout, the right items like bandages or grenades, as well as the selection of skill points in your skill tree.

Feel free to take inspiration from these builds and create your own build, because every raider has their own style, and you should express it. But first, let’s get to the best solo build.

How do the builds come about? My name is Christos, and I have gathered over a decade of experience in shooters. It hasn’t just been about Call of Duty but also games like DayZ or Destiny. With many hours in ARC Raiders and after studying the skill tree as well as all available weapons and observing the meta, I came up with the following builds. So, use my selection more as inspiration that you can also adapt to your preferences.

Wichtige Tipps für ARC Raiders, um die ersten Runden zu überleben

Best Solo Build

What does the solo build focus on? Our solo build places great emphasis on high survival chances, fast movement, and efficient looting through speed and stealth. Although it was designed for solo play, it can also be effectively used in teams.

How should I build my skill tree? I have provided you an example of how to optimally level your skill tree for solo play. Of course, you can also distribute points differently based on your preferences, especially if you want to benefit from other perks. But for our build, I decided as follows:

ARC-Raiders-Skill-Tree-Solo.jpg
Skill tree of the solo build

In our skill tree, I fully focused on nodes from “Survival”. These should help you move faster and restore stamina during fights. Additionally, you can create various items at the surface with the points “Crafting in Round” and “Mobile Tinkerer” to make you more independent.

Of course, points in mobility and stamina cannot be missed, as they increase your movement and ensure that your shield does not slow you down. Last but not least, there are also points in breaking, so you create less noise.

Which weapons should I take? I chose two strong weapons from the current meta:

  • The Kettle
    • The Kettle is your weapon of choice when it comes to demonstrating longer breath in battles. It has a large magazine, a solid fire rate, and is very effective at medium and close range.
  • The Anvil
    • The Anvil, on the other hand, represents your fast and powerful backup weapon. It effortlessly penetrates the armor of the ARCs or raiders. In combat, you can quickly crack the armor with the Anvil and then finish your opponents with the Kettle.

The duo has proven to be very effective in our tests and those who can also equip both weapons with strong modifications will have an easier time in combat.

What gear should I take? If you want to loot a lot, it’s best to go with the augment “Loot Mark 2” and a light shield. If you prioritize fights with other players, then opt for the augment “Combat Mark 2” and a heavy shield.

Items you should take would be a bundle of bandages, shield chargers, and adrenaline syringes. The latter is important for being able to quickly escape in critical situations without worrying about your stamina.

Your last quick-access slots can either be filled with zip lines or grenades. If you take grenades, prefer the snapshot grenade or heavy fuse grenade – they deal more damage.

Best Squad Build

What does the squad build focus on? The squad build focuses primarily on being able to do everything well, but without specializing. You should remain flexible, as the responsibility for a successful extraction lies with all team members.

How should I build my skill tree? I have provided you an example of how to optimally level your skill tree for squad play. Of course, you can also distribute points differently based on your preferences, especially if you want to benefit from other perks. But for our build, I decided as follows:

ARC-Raiders-Team-Build.jpg
Skill tree of the team build

With this build, you can score in every area regarding survival, movement, and stamina. The greater focus is now more on survival than looting. While many raiders are peaceful in solo rounds, you encounter more hostile opponents in trio matchmaking.

We have therefore increased the survival time, movement speed, and also your damage reduction when you’re lying on the ground and exhausted. So, if you end up on the ground and your allies’ fight takes longer, you don’t have to worry about being completely eliminated.

Which weapons should I take? It depends on your squad, with whom you need to coordinate. Depending on your goals in the current expedition, that can vary. It is important to choose your weapons so that:

  • You take at least one armor-piercing option
  • You have a weapon with a larger magazine and higher fire rate

Combinations like the Anvil with the Kettle or Ferro with the Venator are excellent. If you are more on an ARC hunt, you can also combine weapons like the Hullcracker and Arpeggio – this way, you have an option to massively damage the armor and can even cover medium and long distances against incoming raiders.

What gear should I take? The same applies here as with the solo build:

  • For fights against raiders and ARCs
    • “Combat Mark 2” and a heavy shield
  • For looting
    • “Loot Mark 2” and a light shield

You can also create a mix in your squad. One can be the looter with the larger inventory. This one takes most of it. The other two players act as escorts, with higher armor and deadlier weapon choices.

Regarding bandages, shields, and grenades, the same applies as with the solo build. However, a new addition is bringing important resources like ammunition. If your teammates can no longer craft ammunition, it is advisable to take a risk and bring the necessary rounds with you when you land on the surface. This way, you ensure that you won’t run out of breath in combat.

I messed up my build, how can I reset my skill tree? It’s not that easy. If you want to create a new build, you have to send your raider on an expedition. This is a wipe mechanic that you can unlock only at level 20. Once you’ve done that, you will receive a new raider with whom you must unlock all content again, including your skill tree.

Total War: Warhammer 3 will receive a new DLC this year, bringing 4 new leaders, one of which is free

Ody Ody Reading time 3 minutes

The release of the new DLC for Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting closer. The amount of announced content is enormous: 40 new units, 4 new leaders – one of them even free.

When will the new DLC be released? Tides of Torment was originally scheduled for summer 2025 – but now it will be December 4, 2025. There will be almost a year between the release of the last DLC, Omens of Destruction on December 12, 2024, and Tides of Torment.

In a new trailer, developer Creative Assembly confirms the release date once again. The trailer also shows units that have not yet been announced.

Here you can see the trailer:

Select a MMO video…

40 new units, 4 new Lords – one even free

What’s included in the DLC? In the time fans had to wait longer, CA not only refined the gameplay mechanics. The new DLC is also packed with new content:

  • Tides of Torment brings a total of 40 new units for the Daemons of Slaanesh, the High Elves, and the Norsca. For comparison: Omens of Destruction contained 33 new units
  • Included are monsters that fans have been wishing for, such as the fearsome Preyton and the Merwyrm – but also surprises like the Oceanids
  • The DLC delivers 3 new Legendary Lords: Dechala for Slaanesh, Sayl for the Norsca, and Aislinn for the High Elves. The Mask appears as a free Lord alongside the DLC – you do not have to buy Tides of Torment to play her 

As has been customary since the “Shadows of Change” DLC, you can also buy each of the three new leaders individually this time. If you are only interested in Sayl and the new units he brings for the Norsca, it is enough to buy his part of the DLC.

In the coming weeks, the developers will present the new factions in gameplay videos and livestreams. You can read more about it in the official developer blog.

New mechanics for new and old factions

Each of the new leaders will bring their own gameplay mechanics to stand out from the other legendary Lords of their faction.

This is Dechala: Dechala can convert captured settlements into two different types:

  • Either into Thrall Camps that provide resources and Thralls, but deplete over time.
  • Or into Tormentor’s Holds that allow the construction of military buildings and infrastructure.

In her major settlements, she can build Pleasure Palaces that require thralls, but offer access to advanced units and economic buildings.

This is Aislinn: Aislinn does not develop conventional settlements but rather his Dragonships. These are the equivalent of the High Elves’ Black Arks of the Dark Elves. If you conquer a settlement with him, you usually hand it over to other High Elves. However, you can set up special Sea Patrol Outposts in them that provide special bonuses and resources.

This is Sayl: Sayl uses manipulation as a master schemer to weaken his enemies before confronting them on the battlefield. However, if you use too many of them in a short time, you will attract unwanted attention. In addition, Sayl constructs Chaos Altars for a grand Dark Ritual to gain more power.

Zuckerberg earned 79 billion euros in 2024, but a school has to close because he apparently forgot to obtain a license

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Zuckerberg has operated a school for children on his estate. However, because he did not apply for a license, the school must now close. For years, neighbors complained about noise, dirt, and traffic.

Various magazines, including Wired and the New York Times, have reported that a school founded by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan must now close. Zuckerberg is among the richest people in the world and reportedly increased his fortune by 79 billion euros in 2024, according to Business Insider.

The couple had operated the school on their estate in Palo Alto. Neighbors complained about excessive noise, dirt, and heavy traffic in front of the building. But one problem overshadowed everything: Zuckerberg apparently forgot to obtain a license for the school from the city. And that is now coming back to haunt him.

A School for Children Without the Official License

The project started in 2021 and initially offered special education-like instruction for about 35 to 40 children. Here arose the first problem: Officially, only 14 children were registered with the education authority.

The school was apparently already operating at that time without the necessary approval. This was said to be in violation of the local regulations of the city of Palo Alto. Palo Alto prohibits businesses, including private schools, from operating in residential areas if the staff do not reside there and if more traffic is generated than a normal single-family home would entail. Such use would require special authorization from the city, which Zuckerberg did not obtain.

Residents also complained for years about noise, increased traffic, security personnel, and lack of transparency towards the neighborhood.

How did it end? The city of Palo Alto eventually set a deadline for the Zuckerberg family to close the school, as no school may operate in a residential area without official authorization.

The spokesperson for Palo Alto, Meghan Horrigan-Taylor, stated to Wired that a representative of the Zuckerbergs informed the city that the family wished to relocate the school to “another location where private schools are permitted by law”.

This reminds us of another school closure for which Zuckerberg is also responsible. In this case, Zuckerberg and his wife were considered the main sponsors of a school for children from low-income families. However, Zuckerberg has discontinued financial support for the school: Mark Zuckerberg increased his fortune by 79 billion euros in 2024, but his school for poor children must now close due to lack of funds.

Developer works for 11 years on his game, breaks down in tears when he sees how well it is received on Steam after 4 days

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In Tavern Keeper you can build your cozy and rustic tavern. The game is already well received by fans in Early Access on Steam that the developer must be crying.

What kind of game is this? If you have always wanted to be the innkeeper of a tavern, this management game is perfect for you. You can build your own tavern, decorate it, and employ your own staff.

You should be able to design the furniture in such detail that it is even possible to share your own creations with the community. In graphics on the Steam page, for example, a small table can be seen, on which individual objects can be placed that together remind of a DnD campaign.

Random events provide some variety in tavern life. This includes accidents where your furniture catches fire, but also diseases and dirt. You can also establish your tavern in different locations, each bringing its own challenges.

Tavern Keeper includes a story campaign and a magical storybook where you can even make decisions about how the story unfolds.

Tavern Keeper captivates players just 4 days into Early Access

How well is it received? Tavern Keeper has been in Early Access on Steam since November 3, 2025. Currently, 775 players have submitted their ratings (as of November 7 at 11:00 AM). The title has a rating of “Very Positive” and has a 95% recommendation rate.

In the comments on Steam, there are many aspects that players appreciate. These include the RPG elements that would bring fresh air to the genre, as well as the attention to detail, humor, and great stories. Other plus points are the complex gameplay and the many contents.

The few critics believe that it is too boring and has too many pointless stories. One player also misses good balancing and comfort updates, but says that the title is absolutely playable. Additionally, they feel the building space is somewhat overcrowded.

What does the developer say about it? Patrick, the head of Tavern Keeper, wrote a personal thank you to the fans of the game. He admits that in a quiet moment, tears ran down his cheeks because it was such an emotional moment for him:

We have worked on this game for 11 years and have given it our all, without any guarantees. Of course, the game is still in its early stages and won’t become a success overnight (and there is no guarantee of that), but it was a moment of brief affirmation. Thank you for recognizing our efforts and playing (and buying!) the game! You have made the start of our Early Access such a highlight!

Pokémon GO: A player calculated when you can reach level 80 at the earliest without cheating

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the max level has changed. But when can one level up to 80? Theoretically soon, but practically it will be tight, calculated a player.

In Pokémon GO, the level system has changed: While previously, you could level up to trainer level 50, the new maximum limit is now level 80.

However, it is not as if simply 30 new levels were added. Instead, the level system was completely changed, so the current levels of players have also changed. Those who were level 41 before might now be level 60, depending on how much XP they have already collected.

Only from level 70 onwards is it different: Here, the necessary XP is also significantly influenced by tasks for leveling up that must be completed. So even if you already had enough XP for level 80, you must start to “work” a bit here at the latest.

A player has now calculated when one could possibly reach level 80 the earliest.

Select a MMO video…

When can one reach level 80 in Pokémon GO at the earliest?

In the Pokémon GO community “TheSilphRoad” on Reddit, user “technoxenoholic” has created a theoretical plan for when one could reach level 80. Under absolutely ideal conditions and with a lot of effort, according to his calculations, it could theoretically be as early as November 13.

With a bit more realism, the user claims that it could be possible to level up to 80 around November 16, 2025. But only if you had all the necessary XP directly at the level change and then also started solving the tasks immediately. And even then, a lot has to happen.

Some highlights of the hurdles on the way:

  • At level 72, one must earn 1,000,000 Stardust. That is quite a lot, and the user had to achieve it in approximately 6 days to make it by November 15.
  • One must redeem 100 cryptos. This is possible if you already have them in your Pokémon collection. If not, it takes a long time.
  • 30 raids must be won: Easy if you spend money or have enough raid passes. Free2Play needs 30 days for this.
  • One must explore 200 kilometers. You can calculate how long it would take. The user recommends a bike – but just fast enough so that you’re still counted as “walking” by Pokémon GO.
  • One must send 500 gifts. That is extremely much and is also limited by daily limits.
  • Later, one must explore another 300 kilometers.
  • And then another 400.
  • Additionally, one should earn 400 buddy hearts.

And these are just some of the most difficult tasks. You can find the user’s complete calculations here on Reddit.

In the end, he also summarizes that this is overall quite unrealistic – but theoretically possible. However, it is indeed faster if one cheats in some form, such as by influencing the movement distance, account sharing, or similar.

“There is a druid in the team” – A sniper targets a player in Battlefield 6, but Mother Nature personally intervenes

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Battlefield 6, a player experienced an unimaginable moment. Mother Nature intervened and prevented a kill in a supernatural way.

Who is it about? In a regular round of Battlefield 6, Reddit user “ibattlefield” played as a sniper on the battlefield. As often, the player and content creator, who is followed by over 240,000 people under the name “Scope” on Twitch, showcases his sniper skills. But just as things were going well, something unimaginable happened.

Here you can watch a trailer for Battlefield 6:

Unimaginable Moment

What does Mother Nature have to do with Battlefield? The player was successfully fighting off several enemy units with his sniper rifle when Mother Nature suddenly interfered.

Suddenly, a leaf flew through the air and onto his scope, obstructing his view. The player could not continue fighting until the leaf flew off his scope a few seconds later. Mother Nature also saved the life of an enemy.

You can see the full clip of the situation and the player’s speechless reaction here on Reddit:

How does the community react? Similar to the streamer in the clip, the community reacts with amazement to the situation. Until now, something like this has hardly ever happened to a player. The fact that leaves can land on the scopes of characters is also an unknown feature.

On Reddit, the reactions sound like this:

  • Ninja_Vortex80: “That’s real immersion!”
  • xCaptainCanadax: “You just have to believe in your shot and let the wind carry you.”
  • Twoxify: “It’s amazing how random and natural it looked. Like a typical windy autumn day.”
  • NikaroTheSwift: “And how often has everyone aimed at something that was actually just a floating trash bag or a similar object? I wonder if those can also get stuck on one.”
  • Dreamscout001: “There is a druid on the team.”

Many fans are also coming up with puns involving foliage, leaves, and other fitting words to humorously reinforce the moment.

That Mother Nature plays a role in Battlefield 6 is quite rare; actually, the shooter is known for its action-packed rounds and destruction of the game world. However, there is still much to do for the developers, as a new survey shows: The Lead Producer of Battlefield 6 wants to know what bothers you about the shooter – receives over a thousand responses in less than 12 hours

GTA 6: “The mood is at a low point” – Developer from Rockstar explains why further delays are realistic

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

Things are currently extremely intense at Rockstar Games. The firing of several employees here, the sudden release delay of GTA 6 there. The chaos is further amplified by an internal report from a developer painting a bleak picture.

What is happening at Rockstar Games? It all started with the report that the studio under Take-Two has fired between 30 and 40 employees for “gross misconduct”.

Many of those affected stated that this accusation was baseless and that they had been let go for wanting to strengthen their working conditions through a union. Public protests followed outside the Rockstar headquarters.

On November 6th, the news broke online that GTA 6 would be delayed from May 26, 2026, to November 19, 2026. The official reason: they needed additional time to bring the game to a level that fans expect and deserve. The recent firings were not mentioned at all.

Start video

Report from a “verified employee”

What does the new report reveal? In parallel with the announcement about the release delay of GTA 6, dexerto.com reports on the statements of a “verified employee” from Rockstar North on gtaforums.com.

This employee first reports how the firings of his colleagues were conducted.

Last week, my colleagues who were in the studio were individually invited by the HR department for a short friendly chat, under the friendly pretense: “Hey, do you have time for a quick conversation?” During this chat, they received an envelope with a brief letter informing them that their employment was terminated due to “gross misconduct” regarding contributions in Discord.

When asked, they could not provide any evidence, and none were mentioned in the letter either. No further information or reasons were given. They were denied the right to union representation in the disciplinary hearing (which violates UK labor law) and were escorted out of the studio in less than 5 minutes.

According to the source, many employees in key positions were also affected, some of whom had been working at Rockstar for over 18 years – including experienced artists, animators, QA testers, designers, programmers, producers, and even executives.

For this employee, it is clear: these veterans cannot be easily replaced, which will impact the adherence to upcoming project deadlines. In other words: further delays seem probable from his perspective.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the recent actions have reportedly had a severely negative impact on the remaining employees.

Those of us who are lucky enough to stay for now work in fear! Fear when we talk while making tea, fear that we will be next, fear of being recklessly fired, too much fear to step outside the studio and talk to our colleagues (or even just greet them) who are protesting outside, for fear of reprisals. […]

Morale in the studio is at an all-time low, even though we should actually be looking forward to what is coming next year. Now we are completely demotivated and our trust in others is completely destroyed.

Every industry veteran you ask will confirm that you cannot work effectively in a creatively challenging environment like this. However, how this will actually affect the new release date of GTA 6 or the quality of the game remains to be seen.

The concern becomes reality: WoW gets new real money currency, players say: “Extremely embarrassing”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The new real-money currency in World of Warcraft is coming. However, what the developers say does not reassure the players.

A few days ago, we reported that data mining of World of Warcraft Midnight found a new currency. With “Hearthsteel”, there was speculation that it could be a currency similar to those in mobile games. Such currencies are sold for real money and then used to buy goodies in the game. Some common intentions behind these currencies are often: to obscure the real cost of items and to encourage impulse purchases.

Now we know: Yes, a new real-money currency is indeed coming. But Blizzard is trying to reassure immediately.

Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features

What kind of currency is this? Already read out from the game data as “Hearthsteel”, the currency will carry the name “Heimtaler” in the German version. The currency works just as many players have suspected:

  • The currency can be bought with real money. This can also be done “indirectly” through Battle.net balance and thus also the acquisition of the WoW token for gold.
  • The currency will be used for the sale of a few selected housing items.

What does Blizzard say about it? After discussions in the community started, Blizzard published a long blog post just a few days later, which aims to bring some clarity and explain the philosophy behind the new currency. In summary, Blizzard writes:

  • The vast majority of housing items can be earned in the game. Only a few should be offered for Heimtaler.
  • Central items for the fantasy of a people or “thematically important decorations” will also not land in the shop.
  • All items are to be sold individually, and no items will “disappear” from the shop.
  • The costs should be clearly visible. The ratio of real money to Heimtaler should be intuitive and not misleading.
  • Items should have prices that match the offered bundles of Heimtaler.
  • Heimtaler should be exclusively for housing and not for the auction house, mounts, transmog, or pets.

Blizzard also explains why they saw the need for a new currency. The reason is that they need to enable a “more conscious, cautious process that provides both parties financial security” for transactions involving real money. This is sometimes an “inefficient, impractical and often tedious process when a player wants to buy multiple items.”

WoW Heimtaler Menu
This is what it should look like when you want to buy something with Heimtaler.

Community calls the post “embarrassing”

The introduction of the new real-money currency is being heatedly discussed on all social media. The vast majority of voices are negative, although only a few are surprised. Some comments from the German WoW forum:

  • “No real-money junk for housing. The way the [blog post] tries to present this as positive is also extremely embarrassing.” – Dullahan
  • “A mobile-game currency has no place in a subscription game. They build trust once, show a great housing concept that has surprised many positively and then throw all the gained reputation in the trash.” – Blades
  • “No. Just no. I find everything about it distasteful. These psychological tricks right out of the arcade, mobile nonsense… I could puke.” – Thrannir

Those who like to spend money in WoW will soon have a new opportunity – because the 78-euro mount could return.

Nintendo “solves” one of the most annoying problems of the old Switch after 8 years, but unfortunately not as you think

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

For years, users on the Switch have been annoyed by the inconsistent and slow shop. Now Nintendo has introduced an official shop app that at least indirectly solves the problem. You can now conveniently purchase games through your phone instead of struggling through the shop. Perfect might be different, but it’s better than before.

What problem is this about? Anyone who wants to buy a game or just browse the shop on the Nintendo Switch knows the issue: The shop is incredibly slow on the Switch, lags, or you are simply sent back to the top of the list. Users have been complaining on Reddit and in other posts for years that the user experience with the internal store of the Switch is very mixed and demand improvements for the slow performance (Reddit.com).

Nintendo has now solved the problem at least in its way: They have introduced the shop as an app for Android and iOS. Our first impression: The shop runs as smoothly here as it should on the Switch.

Start video
The Nintendo Switch 2 in the unboxing video

New app lets you use the Nintendo shop conveniently on your phone

What kind of app is this? Nintendo has introduced the “Nintendo Store” app for Android and iOS (TheVerge.com). It is more or less the mixed shop of the Switch for your phone. On the phone, you can do the same as you could on the Switch: scroll through the shop, buy games and hardware, and edit your wishlist.

However, the app is not yet perfect: The app opens a page in your device’s default web browser when selecting products, instead of allowing you to make purchases within the app. Nevertheless, this is a more convenient way to access the Nintendo eShop than manually visiting the mobile browser store or struggling through the internal shop of the Switch.

Nintendo wants to focus on the Switch 2. In the long term, this also means that the old Switch will have no future. However, Nintendo still wants to sell both the old and new hardware for the time being. And they also do not want to commit to an end date for the Switch 1 just yet. It is clear, though: it is coming to an end for the old Switch: With a single sentence, Nintendo has just made it clear that they will not support the Switch forever

Developers of Path of Exile ranked the new loot problem as the number one on their list, but fans are looking forward to something else

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile talked in a new post about the loot issue and other upcoming updates that will bring even more items into the game.

What is wrong with the loot? While players have received a new season with “Keepers of the Flame” that is being well received, the loot is currently the major concern of the community. Compared to the previous season, players are finding less loot on the ground, which is causing frustration.

Dozens of posts on Reddit and the Path of Exile forum are discussing the poor loot. There are various theories as to why it has suddenly become so bad. Now the developers have also spoken out and addressed the issue.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new season:

Start video
Path of Exile 2 shows features, bosses and trading system of “Keepers of the Flame” in the trailer

Number 1 on the list

What do the developers say about the loot? The developers of Path of Exile have talked about the next updates for the game in an update post on PathofExile.com. Since the release, the developers have provided Path of Exile with many hotfixes for bugs and performance issues.

In the new post, they present the next content steps. At the top of the list is the loot of the new season. Here, the developers want to ensure that monsters from the Breach parts of the map provide more loot for the players. This aims to make the season mechanics more relevant for the players.

Furthermore, they want to improve the current season mechanics to reduce the number of walls that need to be destroyed to access the relevant parts of the Breach.

What else do the developers want to bring? The developers of Path of Exile also want to introduce new, unique items into the game that were not completed by the release of “Keepers of the Flame”. These new items are to come with the next major patch.

Additionally, the developers acknowledge the feedback from players who are complaining about the current balance. They explain that they see a lack of diversity among the strong builds, which is why they want to buff weaker builds with the upcoming patch 3.28.

How is this received by the players? Although players have hardly had any other topic than insufficient loot since the release of “Keepers of the Flame”, they seem to be more excited about another topic on Reddit.

Many comments revolve around the new, unique items that are supposed to come into the game soon. User Reddit user ilovecollege_nope writes: “Sign me up! More builds to explore! The post doesn’t have much, but it has the right stuff.”

Similarly, Reddit user Rubixcubelube notes: “This is precisely what I always wanted from GGG. More league changes while it’s in motion.” However, the developers also receive praise for the loot fix. User Midknightz writes on Reddit: “Loot buffs are coming, they have actually listened!”

Stranger Things shows in 5 minutes what Will really experienced on the other side

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Stranger Things is soon starting its final season, Season 5. To build some anticipation for the series, Netflix is already showing the first 5 minutes of the season. In it, you see an important character on the other side.

On November 27, Season 5 of Stranger Things will finally premiere on Netflix. This will mark the end of the series that started in 2016. To appropriately maximize attention on the finale, Netflix is releasing not only new trailers but also information.

On YouTube, they have now released the first 5 minutes of the season, which actually show an event from the beginning of the series: Will in the Upside Down. However, as the clip shows, it seems that it was no accident that he ended up there.

You can watch the trailer for Season 5 here:

Start video
With Stranger Things Season 5, the popular hit series from Netflix comes to an end

Did Will not disappear accidentally in Season 1?

What do the first 5 minutes show? The series began in 2016 with Will suddenly disappearing on his way home, snatched by a Demogorgon and dragged into the Upside Down. The first 5 minutes of the new season show what he went through there.

The clip shows Will at the beginning trying to sleep in a hastily built wooden cabin. Suddenly, a Demogorgon appears and Will flees. He climbs up a tree, but falls down and loses consciousness. He wakes up in a cave full of Upside Down tentacles, but the Demogorgon does nothing to Will; it leaves him be. Then Vecna suddenly appears.

Vecna grabs Will and infects him with the Upside Down substance. He says to Will: You and I, we are going to do wonderful things together, William. Wonderful things.

You can watch the first 5 minutes here:

What could this mean? As you already know from the previous seasons, Will is connected to the Upside Down. Previously, the heroes thought Will was possessed by the Mind Flayer, but it later turns out it was Vecna.

The clip shows that Vecna can also control the creatures of the Upside Down. This new clip and the monster’s words suggest that Will was not just randomly chosen but deliberately so. The Demogorgon in the first season killed other people in the town, but Will was abducted.

Even in the official trailer for Season 5, it seems Vecna still has a strong interest in Will, even though he could easily grab another child. In the trailer, he says: William, you will help me. One last time.

It is thus quite conceivable that Will, like Eleven, has special abilities, which is why the villain wants to use him.

Hardly anyone suffers in the series as much as Will, but it could have been worse: The end of a character in Stranger Things was supposed to be even nastier, but fortunately, they decided against it

One Piece fan asks whether characters from the cover can reappear, gets an unexpected response from the creator

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Over the years, there have been many candidates who could have joined the Straw Hat crew of One Piece. One of them is set to reappear soon, at least as hinted by the creator of the manga, Eiichiro Oda.

Which character is it about? Oda also answers the questions of some fans again in the 113th issue of the manga for One Piece. One reader finds the cover stories particularly interesting, which can be seen at the beginning of a chapter.

They usually show characters who have already appeared in the story and what has happened to them in the meantime. Therefore, we also know that Enel has ended up on the moon.

The reader’s father supposedly claimed: Once a character appears in this cover story, they will never appear in the story again. His son wants to know if that is true. And Oda gives the son not only a joyful answer but also a leak about which character may reappear soon:

Eh? That’s not true at all! The cover series I have done so far include: Buggy, Koby, Jango, Hatchan, Wapol, Ace, Gedatsu, Meet Batoque Works, Enel, CP9, Caribou, Jinbe, The Great Fleet of the Straw Hats, Bege, Germa, Yamato. I have done this many times. Most of these characters have reappeared in the main story.

Basically, the cover story series are meant to show readers what these characters are currently up to. There is also a book called “Doors” that contains all these stories and is very easy to read! Mio-chan, are you perhaps curious whether Yamato will reappear? Look forward to it! (laughs)

Eiichiro Oda, as seen on Reddit

It is striking that the mangaka mentions Yamato once again in this context. Therefore, it is likely that the character will appear again in One Piece. And that would make sense.

Start video
One Piece: These are the 5 coolest ships sailing the oceans

Yamato ends own journey, may join the Straw Hats

Why should Yamato reappear? Yamato is one of the people who almost ended up with the Straw Hats after Wano Kuni. After the battle against Yamato’s father, Kaido, the character definitely wanted to sail the seas with the Straw Hats. At the last moment, however, he decided to explore his own country once more. 

And this journey was seen as a cover story. It lasted over a year and covered 44 chapters.  With this, Yamato wants to follow in the footsteps of Oden, who also traveled the entire country and is an idol for Yamato. Ultimately, the journey was concluded.

So it could be that Yamato is following the Straw Hats and still wants to join the pirate crew. This would mean that the Straw Hat crew would grow by one more member.

New World receives the next, long-awaited feature – players feel cheated: “Why are you only doing this now?”

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

With the impending end of New World, the developers are entering a kind of “everything must go” mode. Long-awaited features that were supposed to come with later patches are suddenly appearing on the servers. Not everyone in the community is happy about this.

What is this feature? After the developers of New World unexpectedly launched the new dagger weapons onto the servers this week, there was another surprise shortly after. On X, Amazon Games announced:

Global storage search activated
The global storage search has been activated on all servers. This provides an improved crafting and housing experience with a new global storage search function, allowing players to find items in all storage locations from any crafting station.

This is a quality-of-life improvement that many players have been wanting since the launch over 4 years ago. Back then, the various storage locations in the cities were completely separate, requiring players to travel from place to place to retrieve stored items.

At least the developers had made this more convenient in the meantime. And now there’s finally a global search that can be performed from any crafting station.

Start video
Kaum läuft’s bei New World richtig gut, macht Amazon den schlimmsten Albtraum aller Fans wahr

“This is absolutely malicious”

How are these surprising new features being received? With the daggers and the global crafting storage, two features have now quickly landed in the game that, according to the latest version of the roadmap were planned for after Season 10 in 2025.

Since it is well known that there will be no Season 11, but the features have been sufficiently developed, they are being introduced to the game now. Because… why not?! On one hand, this is a nice thing for all players who want to remain loyal to Aeternum until the bitter end. On the other hand, this release policy is souring some players now.

  • Chris writes on X: “What is the point now? This should have been done years ago. Now that the game has an end date, let’s give the community what they need/want. Keeping the game going and not finishing it would be the better option.”
  • sakis2011 also appears very frustrated on X: “It feels like the remaining 2 to 3 developers achieve more in a month than the entire studio has in 4 years.”
  • japandr0id explains on Reddit: “They destroy the crafting, then they destroy the game, then they release this super useful tool that would have been amazing in Seasons 5 through 9.”
  • TanethFPS is also angry on X: “The community has been asking for this QoL update for 3 YEARS!!! And now, just because the game has an expiration date, you are releasing this improvement? I’m over the nostalgia. This is absolutely malicious. I’m glad I uninstalled it.”

Whether more features from the roadmap will come is unclear. In addition to the dagger weapon and the global crafting storage, the devs had already been working on difficulty levels for raids, a new PvP mode, area upgrades, new heart runes, endgame reputation systems, and pick-up wars.

Pokémon GO gives you a real Swiss army knife for Dyna battles

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Do you still need attackers of certain types in Pokémon GO? Then there will soon be the right monster for you.

The Dynamax feature in Pokémon GO offers battles that are not easy to win when looking at the higher levels. It is essential to have Pokémon of the right types to benefit from type effectiveness.

Using the wrong types puts you at a disadvantage.

However, it may be that you still have gaps in your Dynamax collection for some types. The next Dynamax boss will help with that.

Which Pokémon will appear? From Friday, November 21 to Monday, November 24, you will encounter Dynamax Eevee. It will have its own Dynamax weekend.

Why is this interesting? Eevee can evolve into 8 different Pokémon:

  • Vaporeon (Water)
  • Jolteon (Electric)
  • Flareon (Fire)
  • Espeon (Psychic)
  • Umbreon (Dark)
  • Leafeon (Grass)
  • Glaceon (Ice)
  • Sylveon (Fairy)

You can use your Dyna-Eevee to develop suitable counters for other Dyna battles. Because the evolutions will also have the ability to Dynamax.

In this regard, regular Dynamax Eevee is even more interesting than Gigantamax Eevee, since the latter cannot evolve.

Moreover, the Dynamax weekend brings additional bonuses.

Start video

All contents of the Dynamax weekend with Eevee

The following bonuses are active during the weekend:

  • Dynamax Eevee appears and can also be shiny (but no increased chance)
  • Eevee will appear more frequently in the wild. This gives you the opportunity to collect candies for evolutions.
  • Dyna-Particles require only half the walking distance
  • Power sources renew more often
  • You will receive double the amount of particles from power sources
  • A collector challenge for Eevee is also running

What about Gigantamax Eevee? The Giga variant is not announced for the Eevee weekend. It remains to be seen when it will appear in the game. Theoretically, it should still come this month or at the latest by early December, as Gigantamax Eevee was included in the trailer for the current season. It ends on December 2.

Twitch streamer Shroud is speechless when he realizes why players from ARC Raiders call him a cheater

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

ARC Raiders also brings joy to many streamers on Twitch. They play the new extraction shooter live on the platform and showcase their skills to their fans. However, there are now accusations against the well-known streamer Shroud, as he is alleged to have cheated.

How did the allegations arise? In a clip, you can see how shooter pro Shroud plays ARC Raiders. He takes out an entire team with his shotgun in the scene by continuously moving forward at the right moment to shoot and moving back while the weapon reloads.

He can quickly eliminate the whole team, which causes a lot of frustration on the opposing side. In another clip from the perspective of the victims, you can hear them accusing Shroud of cheating.

How does Shroud react to the situation? The squad, which at that moment did not know they were fighting against Shroud, provided the streamer with their perspective. In it, you can see where the allegations are coming from.

From their perspective, you can hardly recognize Shroud himself. The effects in the game and the visual representation of him peeking around the corner make it difficult to actually see him. The streamer explains this himself while watching the clip:

“They just had no chance. I wiped them all out. They didn’t even see me. I just wobbled past. It’s just broken… they couldn’t even react.”

With the last sentence, Shroud himself is somewhat speechless. He probably didn’t even realize how his tactics look to other players and how suspicious it makes him.

How do players react to the clip? Players can also understand, from the perspective of the victims, why it feels like Shroud is cheating, even though he is not. They explain that they have also had some issues with desync in combat and that the clip would show that again. Users write on Reddit:

  • AliceLunar: “I mean, it looked like he was shooting through the wall or something, also that smoke Shroud sees isn’t even visible from the other perspective?”
  • snuuginz: “Okay, Arc Raiders is a lot of fun and I love it so far, but I’ve seen a few videos like this where the desynchronization seems HUGE and borderline game-breaking. It looks like one of Shroud’s shots is going through the tank/cylinder. I have to say, I haven’t noticed any issues with desync on my end yet.”
  • 7se7: “Desync + third-person shooter games = nonsense like this, where you can see your opponents completely unhindered because the camera is over the shoulder, so you just do ‘jiggle peek’ or whatever you call it when you go in and out around a corner and look like you’re lasering them through a wall […].”
  • beanlikescoffee: “I mean, from their perspective, you can’t even see Shroud while they are ‘getting lasered.'”

For Shroud’s opponents, this was not a pleasant experience in ARC Raiders, as they simply had no chance in the fight. However, they might have been helped by the sheriffs, who recently represent a movement for good against outlaws. You can learn more about them here: “Loot is yours.

A sight astounds players in WoW: “THIS is Legion”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

With the latest patch for World of Warcraft Legion Remix, a detail has returned to the game that makes many nostalgic. For many, it symbolizes Legion.

When you ask the WoW community what they particularly remember from the Legion expansion, you get different answers. Some think of the powerful Legendary items, others of the class hall campaigns or the artifact weapons. But since last Wednesday, some are getting a “flashback” to a detail that many have forgotten and some have never experienced. Because the sky of Azeroth has suddenly changed dramatically.

WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works

Argus in the sky – The epitome of Legion

What’s going on with the sky? Those looking up at the sky in Legion Remix – and who have already met the required conditions – see not just the two moons of Azeroth overhead, but something else: the giant, destroyed world of Argus. It looms in the sky and is so large that it appears almost within reach.

Responsible for this is Illidan Stormrage. In the battle against Kil’Jaeden, on his Legion ship in the Twisting Nether, he opens a gigantic portal with the Sargerite Keystone to rescue the heroes. The problem: the portal remains open in the other direction as well. The consequence: Argus and Azeroth are now extremely close to each other.

This is how the community reacts: In the WoW subreddit, more and more pictures and screenshots have been appearing over the last few days, showing characters in front of the massive planet Argus. Many remember that time, while others are seeing this sight for the first time.

Some of the comments under these posts:

  • “I’m a bit sad that they have never done something this cool in WoW again. I mean, we got a few cool skyboxes with K’aresh, but that’s only in that area.
    I remember they made [Argus] visible to everyone at some point, and so many low-level characters that had never done the raid completely freaked out in the trade channel.”     – Drakkodown
  • “Man, what I would give to see this skybox ‘for the first time’ again. The 20-year-old version of me was completely blown away after finishing the tomb for the first time. This and seeing Azeroth from Argus are two of the coolest sights ever in WoW.” – Sykretts1919

How do you unlock it? If you want to see Argus in the sky yourself, you need to complete the raid “The Tomb of Sargeras” at least once in Legion Remix. Because after the final fight, the cinematic plays that brings Argus close to Azeroth – so you can see this anywhere in Legion.

If you’re worried about visiting a raid in Remix – don’t worry. The raids are fairly easy even at mythic difficulty now, because some characters already have 999% versatility. More and more players are also starting to carry others through the raids. It should never take long to find a suitable group where you hardly have to do anything but tag along.

10 post-credit scenes in Marvel movies that have led to nothing so far

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 8 minutes

One of the biggest aspects of the movies from Marvel are the post-credit scenes, which hint at larger events after a film and build suspense and questions for the viewers. However, they don’t always lead to something. MeinMMO presents you with 10 such scenes that have not been resolved so far.

Which scenes are we talking about? Already in the first MCU film in 2008 (Iron Man), there was a post-credit scene. There, the Avengers Initiative was mentioned. After that, with the exception of Avengers: Endgame, almost all films and many series had such a scene, introducing upcoming events and characters.

However, with the countless films and series, there were also post-credit scenes that have not been resolved to this day. We show you 10 of them in the article.

We ignore scenes from 2024 and 2025, as they are still too fresh. If you think of another scene, feel free to write it in the comments.

1. The Villain Scorpion and the Identity of Spider-Man

Film: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

What happens in the scene? In the first post-credit scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Scorpion, played by Michael Mando, meets the Vulture, played by Michael Keaton. There, he asks him about the identity of Spider-Man, claiming to know it. His friends would like to take revenge on Spider-Man.

The Vulture denies it and walks away. Since then, the scene has never been picked up again, even though it strongly hints at the Sinister Six. This is a villainous team that regularly tries to take down Spider-Man. Depending on the story, members have included Mysterio, Dr. Octopus, the Green Goblin, Electro, and the Vulture—characters that have appeared in the MCU.

Possible Spoiler about Scorpion in the Future

Will this scene ever be picked up? As we know from set photos (via Screen Rant) for the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Michael Mando will return as Scorpion. From the initial information, it seems that the film is supposed to be more grounded, which fits him well.

A big mystery, however, is the information about his identity. Although it was erased from everyone’s minds by Dr. Strange, Michael Keaton appears again as the Vulture in the film Morbius. However, the Sony film takes place in a different universe, so it is unclear whether the Vulture will even be a relevant character.

The delay of GTA 6 is bad news for fans, but one group suffers even more from it

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

GTA 6 has been postponed again and fans are in disbelief. But one group is suffering even more from the delay: developers and publishers who did not plan for a postponement. For some of them, this could mean significant losses.

GTA 6 has officially been postponed for a second time. The release, which was originally scheduled for May 2026, is now postponed to November 2026, a delay of half a year. The postponement has completely surprised many.

On one hand are the players and fans who have long been hoping for the release of GTA 6. And the fans are showing their disappointment over the postponement of GTA 6, disbelief, but also sarcasm. However, another group is affected even more strongly: These are developers and publishers who had counted on GTA 6 being released in May 2026.

Postponement hits developers and publishers hard

Why is the postponement so problematic? A delay of GTA 6 particularly affects other development studios and publishers, because the release of such a major title has huge implications for the entire gaming industry and the scheduling of many other releases. Some had already been looking for an alternative release date to avoid the release of GTA 6:

  • Many studios specifically plan their own releases around the release date of GTA 6 to avoid direct competition. Players have only limited financial resources to spend on games. And an expensive release like GTA 6 particularly strains the player’s budget.
  • Most studios closely monitor the release calendar of industry giants and choose time slots in which no AAA releases are taking place to avoid losing attention and sales.

Some of the world’s largest publishers have already stated that Rockstar releases “pull a lot of money and especially time out of the market,” making it much harder for other games to be successful (via xda-developers.com).

The English-language magazine Forbes.com stated that some studios will ultimately have to work overtime to bring their games to market before the new GTA 6 slot, which would add additional strain on development teams and pose quality risks.

And according to Forbes, not only developers are affected by such a large postponement, but also other groups: hardware manufacturers, as players wait for GTA 6 to upgrade their systems and therefore invest no money in new hardware like gaming consoles.
