2 new episodes of Hazbin Hotel were enough to drive me hellishly insane

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The second season of Hazbin Hotel has started and directly brings a lot of emotions and real banger songs. It’s your fault if you don’t give it a chance.

Basically, there are only two series that have unexpectedly blown me away in recent years. One is the dramatic anime series Oshi no Ko and the other is the Amazon series Hazbin Hotel, which finally got the green light after many years of waiting and just a few days ago started its second season. The new season of Hazbin Hotel makes it clear right away: The quality remains high, no compromises are being made.

Start video
Hazbin Hotel hell series starts with Season 2

I don’t want to go into the details of the episodes here because you should watch them yourself. However, I can’t help but give some small spoilers.

Hell is forever – or maybe not

The angel’s attack on Hell was repelled by Charlie and the gang around the Hazbin Hotel, during which the archangel Adam met his final death. But that’s not all: The hotel was also able to prove that redemption for sinners is possible and that they can ascend to heaven.

However, it seems that it doesn’t quite resonate in Hell, as most believe that Charlie’s hotel only exists to recruit people who want to slaughter angels – very few show interest in redemption.

At the same time, heaven is hopelessly overwhelmed by the fact that a soul has managed to ascend from Hell to Heaven and evidently find redemption. Something that apparently was never intended and now poses serious decisions for heaven.

Hazbin Hotel Sir Pentious Crying in Heaven
Sir Pentious regrets his actions – and thus enables what was previously incomprehensible.

It becomes clear that Hazbin Hotel is making an effort to expand the depicted universe. Because even though the first season already often took a look at characters other than Charlie, this is – at least in the first two episodes – even more extreme in the second season. Especially in Episode 2, there is nothing of Charlie and the hotel, but it is completely focused on heaven and the processes there.

Emotional drama despite over-the-top cartoon style

Hazbin Hotel keeps doing things that I never thought possible for an “obscenely silly” animated series.

The character Sir Pentious, who was mainly regarded as “comic relief” in the first season and repeatedly the center of silly jokes, is in the first episodes of Season 2 such a tragic character, equipped with a more extensive backstory that he must reveal as he fights for his new life in heaven. The fact that the scenes are so emotionally charged and just work is also due to the great voice acting.

The heart of Hazbin Hotel in Season 2 is again the songs. After all, the series presents itself as a “modern musical,” meaning there are (at least) 2 songs in every episode that tell significant story developments.

Even though only a handful of the songs from the second season are known so far, it shows especially here the outstanding quality and work that has gone into the development. How perfectly the music and the animations fit together is probably best illustrated by the song “Gravity,” in which the angel Lute sings about Adam’s death and seeks revenge:

Anyone who thinks that Hazbin Hotel has become tamer is mistaken. The first two episodes make it clear that the overall tone of the series has not changed. Profanities still fly in continuous fire, and tough topics, such as sexual exploitation or abuse, are almost treated in passing . It’s hell after all. Those who have difficulties with such topics should rather avoid the series.

Hazbin Hotel in German is unfortunately not a treat

The only major criticism is – unfortunately – again the German translation. As you probably know from my anime presentations: If a German dubbing is good, I praise it and recommend it. However, that’s not the case with Hazbin Hotel. This is partly because, in the German version, two voice actors are used for individual characters: one for their “normal voice” and one for their “singing voice” – and often the two don’t even sound remotely similar. You’re immediately pulled out of the story when a song is started.

At the same time, the heart of the series, that is, the songs, lacks quality in the German version. The translation is a bit clumsy, the rhymes sometimes result in a crooked smile, and the extremely high quality of the original songs is simply not achieved in the German version. Hazbin Hotel is “really okay” in German – but unfortunately not the grand series that it is in English, where everything simply fits perfectly.
When the rest of Hazbin Hotel Season 2 will be released, we’ve revealed here.

“Everyone was laughing”: Developer tries to translate his game’s title on Steam, messes it up, goes viral in Japan

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

The developer of an RPG on Steam wanted to translate the name of his game. However, he made a mistake that made it go viral in Japan.

Which game is being talked about? It is about The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles. With its pixel graphics, turn-based battles, and character designs, it feels like an ode to classic dungeon crawler RPGs.

The game was developed by Paolo Nicoletti’s studio Fix-a-Bug, based in Turin, Italy. A demo was released for the Steam Next Fest, and on October 23, 2025, the release followed on Steam. The game costs €12.79. The demo is still available.

Here you can see the release trailer for the game:

Start video
The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles auf Steam lässt das Gefühl altmodischer Dungeon Crawler neu aufleben

Demo accidentally launches under the wrong name

What went wrong with the translation? As Nicoletti revealed in an interview with the Japanese gaming magazine Game*Spark, there was no professional Japanese translation for the demo’s release. So he took it into his own hands and had everything machine-translated.

However, this led to a mishap. The name of the game was translated as “Kuso Dungeon.” This means something like “Shitty Dungeon” in English.

How did people react to that? This mishap was noticed by someone, and a screenshot of the game’s shop page ended up on X (formerly Twitter). In Japan, the game with the funny name then went viral, and news about it spread further.

“Everyone was laughing,” says Nicoletti, “and honestly, I was laughing like crazy too!” What started as an unintentional incident ultimately brought a lot of attention to the game and led many players to add it to their wishlists. “Accidental marketing at its finest!” says Nicoletti.

Reviews are “mostly positive”

How is the game received? Fortunately, players laughed mainly at the name, not at the game itself. So far, the game has 127 reviews on Steam, which are “mostly positive” (as of October 31, 11:20 AM).

  • “Awesome little game, went in completely blind and was both surprised and impressed with this one,” writes Swiper in his Steam review
  • SolitaryGourmet admits in his Steam review: “I found this game after seeing the ‘Shitty Dungeon’ story on Reddit and grabbed it out of curiosity. Ended up really enjoying it”

Upon release, the developer had the name re-translated. Even though the poor translation helped the RPG achieve some more success, Nicoletti thinks there are more important things: “I can’t tell my mom ‘Hey Mom, the name of the game I made is Shitty Dungeon!'”

Most new games on Steam struggle to reach a wide audience. Mistakes like these, which at least draw attention, sometimes come at just the right moment. A new statistic shows: Over 5,000 new games from 2025 didn’t even manage to earn back the $100 fee for launching on Steam

Battlefield 6 will hide new shotgun behind a lot of grind, backtracks after anger

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Battlefield 6 there has been a lot of discussion lately about the unlocking of the new shotgun DB-12. Now the developers have responded and are listening to the community.

Why was there trouble over the shotgun? The developers of Battlefield 6 presented their Battle Pass on October 28. In addition to the standard and the premium Battle Pass, there were supposed to be two seasonal Battle Passes. However, these were initially planned to be unlocked only after completing the standard Battle Pass.

This would have meant that players would have had to reach 93 ranks in the standard Battle Pass before they could level up the next pass and unlock the DB-12 shotgun. The shotgun is only available in the Season Pass “California Resistance” which starts on November 18. However, the developers’ plans caused an uproar in the community.

Battlefield 6 bringt jetzt doch einen unrealistischen Skin?

Trouble prompts reconsideration

How did the community react? The community did not agree with the idea of hiding a weapon unlock behind so much grind. On Reddit, many fans complained about the idea and feared they would never be able to use the weapon:

  • Batallius: “God, I am so tired of having to go through all this crap just to unlock a weapon, 300 suppressions almost made me quit playing.”
  • Jim_Nills_Mustache: “Yeah, I simply won’t force myself to do things like that, I even took my time with the scout headshots and spread it out over a week. It’s just too exhausting, especially since they’re supposedly fixing it, I’d rather pass.”
  • ChicknSoop: “God, I hate Battle Passes, it’s the dumbest thing that the gaming community defends.”
  • Claymore209: “Battle Pass feels more like a task list.”

The outcry from players seems to have reached the developers, who then changed their plans and modified the system.

What do the changes look like? The plan to unlock the seasonal passes only after completing the standard Battle Pass has been reversed by the developers. Now looking at the Battlefield 6 website, it now states:

Season 1 will also include two seasonal paths. Progress on these seasonal paths can be achieved simultaneously with the regular Battle Pass of Season 1.

So, the community’s feedback was well received by the developers and led to this change. Now anyone can begin unlocking the DB-12 shotgun as soon as the Season Pass “California Resistance” starts on November 18. However, what needs to be done for this remains unknown.

The developers of Battlefield 6 listen a lot to the community and try to implement the players’ wishes. However, soon it may no longer be the players but the artificial intelligence that becomes the first point of contact for the developers: Fans believe that the developers of Battlefield 6 have finally understood what they want, but in the future they will use AI as a “thinking partner”

ARC Raiders: Finding lemons and apricots – Here’s how to catch the fruits

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In ARC Raiders you currently need lemons and apricots to complete quests and build items, but where exactly can you find the fruits? We’ll show you what to look out for.

Update, January 15, 2026: The article has been reviewed and updated with new information.

Where can I quickly find lemons and apricots? If you want to collect fruits quickly and reliably, you should visit the second map “Buried City” and advance to the center. Near the well, there are at least 2 small fruit trees that you can shake to get fruits. The fruits will then fall to the ground, and you can pick them up.

ARC-Raiders-Map-Fruits
You should get here quickly
ARC-Raiders-Fruit-Tree
This is what fruit trees look like
ARC-Raiders-Interacting-Tree
Interact with them to get the fruits

So you can get at least 1 lemon and 1 apricot – sometimes more will drop, but it depends on your luck. The Blue Gate also offers many trees at the olive farm, including lemon trees. You can also find more fruit trees in front of the Grandioso Apartments in the large pond in the Buried City or on the small islands in the Red Sea of the Dam Battlefields.

Other methods to get fruits are:

  • Search through houses
  • Scour swamps with trees and shrubs marked with the “Nature” symbol
  • Visit locations marked with the world event “Lush”
    • (Chances of resources from nature are increased)

What do I need the fruits for? All Raiders seek these fruits because of the helpful rooster “Scrappy”. This rooster can be trained to gather even more supplies. You need the following amounts for the upgrades:

  • Scrappy – Level 2 -> Level 3
    • Apricots 3x
    • Lemon 3x
  • Scrappy – Level 4 -> Level 5
    • 12x Apricots
    • 12x Mushrooms
    • 3x Ultra-Comfortable Pillows

Since many players like to rush in, it won’t be an easy task for you. Therefore, we recommend spawning solo in a round of the Buried City, putting your weapons away, and quickly checking the trees.

Then pick all the fruits you can as quickly as possible and immediately sprint to the next extraction point to escape. However, empty your loadout first so you don’t lose all your strong items in case of a defeat or ambush. With this tactic, we were able to farm fruits in less than 2 minutes.

Famous LoL moderator fights against stereotypes even after many years in e-sports, having played longer than some of you have owned a PC

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

The e-sport of League of Legends is a pretty male-dominated field, especially at the highest levels. Even the moderator Sjokz knows the problem. Although she has been a well-known personality in e-sports for years, she still struggles with disrespectful comments.

Who is Sjokz? Anyone who occasionally watches an e-sport event in the LoL universe has probably come across the Belgian moderator Eefje Depoortere, better known as Sjokz. Even before her jobs in LoL, she played the legendary shooter Unreal Tournament (1999) professionally. According to an interview on team-dignitas.net (via web.archive.org), she claimed to have played Unreal Tournament as early as 2002. That was 7 years before the release of LoL.

In 2012, she started at SK Gaming as an editor and also worked on the Summoners Recap, a show that dealt with the scene. Since then, she has been a host, moderator, and caster for various e-sport projects, including major tournaments like the LEC in Europe or the LoL World Championship, the Worlds.

However, in a recent interview, she revealed that despite her presence and experience, she still faces prejudice.

You really had to have thick skin

What does Sjokz say about equality in e-sports? In an interview with Sheep Esports, Sjokz spoke about current projects for inclusion and the creation of safe spaces (which are secure environments where people should be free from discrimination) for women in e-sports. With LoL Game Changers, Riot is also actively involved. This is a new women’s league in the EMEA region.

In the interview, she also talked about her experiences as a woman in e-sports. She explained that pro teams would likely need to change their way of leading the team. Just because women are different from men doesn’t mean they have less skill in video games. For men, having video games as a hobby is simply more accepted. She herself started in a group that consisted of only men apart from her. She said: You really had to have thick skin.

Just this year, a LoL pro made headlines for negatively commenting on women.

In this context, Sjokz also talks about experiences she still faces today, even though she has been around for so long:

Even today, I still face challenges as a woman. I had to shake off comments like “You’re only here because you’re a woman”, but some people still believe that. Sometimes the community still reflects this behavior, especially on platforms that are dear to us.

She mentions the women’s scene in the e-sport of Valorant. They do a good job, train just as much as men, and according to Sjokz, even produce better content. Projects like Game Changers would make such representations more visible.

While Sjokz does not believe that mixed teams will be a reality next year, she dreams of it and hopes that everyone supports these projects.

Even though male teams currently perform better than purely female teams, that doesn’t say anything about skill. As Sjokz mentioned in the interview, it’s also a matter of perspective. Women are less often promoted in e-sports and treated differently in the games themselves. Sexist insults are not uncommon. Editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski from MeinMMO also discussed this with the e-sport head of Valorant: It’s not about bad female players: Valorant’s e-sport head debunks a myth in the interview – ‘They just weren’t sufficiently promoted’

In the ARC Raiders tutorial, you can snag double loot if you drop your items at the right time

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

ARC Raiders has just been released and already in the tutorial, there is a good amount of loot to be gained for those who do things right. What do you have to do for that? Just drop everything.

How do you get the double loot? The ARC Raiders tutorial is only a few minutes long. In it, you learn the essential gameplay mechanics: movement, shooting, looting, and more. As you progress, you will eventually find yourself at the door of a closed pizzeria. If you’re smart, you can get double loot here.

If you try to break down the door to the closed pizzeria, you will be attacked by two NPCs. When you wake up, they have taken all the loot you had found up until that point – weapons, items, gear. Your inventory is empty.

However, if you drop all loot before you touch the door, you can pick it up again afterward. But you won’t find exactly what you threw out of your inventory; instead, you’ll find double the amount. Clever Reddit users have discovered this trick.

When the tutorial weapon is good and rubber ducks are expensive

Are there any more good tutorial tips? Nothing you find as loot in the tutorial is particularly valuable or helpful. But you gladly take the double loot for a head start in the game. Besides, there are a few helpful things to find. Especially because the pistol you get after the tutorial is worse than the tutorial Burletta.

In the tutorial, there is also more stuff than a starting player can fit in their inventory. You can get around this by breaking items down into stackable components. Then everything fits in the character’s pockets.

When you enter the closed pizzeria, there is also a rubber duck. It can later be sold for 1,000 Raider Coins. That’s a nice sum on top of the 5,000 coins you get at the start.

WoW: Those who pre-order Midnight can play the add-on in a few days

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The beta of World of Warcraft Midnight starts in a few days. We will tell you how you can participate.

For a few weeks, the alpha of World of Warcraft Midnight has been running, but that will soon come to an end. The first tests are completed, and now Blizzard is moving on to the next phase: the beta is starting. Those who want to participate must either be lucky or buy into the beta. This way, you can experience the content of the upcoming expansion before anyone else.

When does the beta of Midnight start? The kickoff for the beta of Midnight is on November 11, 2025. Whether the launch will also take place simultaneously in Europe or if there will be the usual day’s delay here is still not entirely clear.

Start video

Beta participation in WoW Midnight – Those who pay can play

How can you participate in the beta? There are two different ways to participate in the beta of Midnight:

  • The first option is to sign up for the beta test on the official WoW website. From time to time, players are selected here by a lottery system. However, there is no guarantee that you will get beta access.
  • The second option is safer, but also more expensive. Those who choose the Epic Edition of Midnight and purchase it in advance for a hefty €90 get guaranteed access to the beta of Midnight as soon as it starts. We have introduced what else is included in the Epic Edition here.
Important: As soon as you are activated for the beta, you can see this in the Battle.net launcher. Then you can select “Midnight Beta” in the WoW game version. Do not fall for fraudulent emails that want to lure you with a code for the beta – such a thing does not exist.

What is included in the beta? As in the alpha, Blizzard plans to unlock new content weekly in the beta. A first rough plan includes the following content:

  • Week 1: All new areas, leveling from level 80 to 90, the Haranir, Devourer Demon Hunters, all dungeons, depths, and the new prey system as well as housing.
  • Weeks 2-3: First raid tests (without the final bosses), the new transmog system, Mythic+, new interface adjustments.

In the following weeks, there will surely be further focal points, but by then nearly all content from Midnight should be available. However, the last bosses of a raid, the completion of the campaign, and the major cinematics are usually excluded – these are generally only introduced with the release to avoid the biggest story spoilers. However, there have already been a few spoilers. Because through data mining, we know that the heroes in Midnight will likely fail.

Mark Zuckerberg is looking forward to filling your social media feed with even more AI content

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Zuckerberg has stated that social media will increasingly focus on AI content. Privacy advocates are anything but thrilled. Meta, the company behind Facebook, plans to invest billions in the AI field over the coming years.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in the Q3 2025 Earnings Call that much more AI-generated content will soon appear in the social media feeds of Facebook and Instagram. With new tools like the Vibes app, Meta aims to usher in a new content era, where AI-generated videos, images, and texts will be showcased more prominently than ever before. This was reported by the English-language magazine TheVerge.com.

Zuckerberg describes the massive integration of AI content as a fundamental upheaval in the social media landscape. The company sees this as a new category of content and is already testing special AI platforms for social networking.

Meta is investing a lot of money in AI, but there are also critical voices

Meta Investments: Meta is investing record amounts in the development of AI infrastructure and talent this year and next – capital expenditures of about $69 billion are reported for 2025, and up to $103 billion for 2026. With this, Meta aims to create the foundation for “superintelligence” to be accessible to all users. The superintelligence is a concept of Zuckerberg, in which he envisions the future of the internet.

What is being criticized? Industry experts see both huge potential and risks in Meta’s strategy. While the innovativeness is praised, there are also doubts about the authenticity and trustworthiness of AI content. Because AI is also used for fraud and manipulation.

Meta addresses concerns about election manipulation through AI-generated content with plans to clearly label such posts. However, many do not find this sufficient.

From a European perspective, there is also sharp criticism of Meta’s AI plans. The background is primarily Meta’s intention to use public content from Facebook and Instagram users for AI training without explicit consent. Consumer advocates see this as a massive invasion of privacy (via verbraucherzentrale.de).

Handofblood enters into an official collaboration with South Park, wants to save LoL, also disses NoWay: “I need a whole season of that”

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

After the trailer announcing the collaboration between the e-sports team Eintracht Spandau, the Twitch streamer HandOfBlood, and the US series South Park, the entire episode premiered on YouTube on Thursday night – and it caused great excitement among fans.

What is the episode about? In the video “The Rescue of League of Legends” on Eintracht Spandau’s YouTube account, a 12-minute episode in the style of the South Park series is shown, where the entire LoL e-sports and the team suffer under a specific person: the Twitch streamer “NoWay”. Too nice, too harmonious, and above all – he not only steals jobs and women from Eintracht Spandau, but especially the viewers. However, President Knabe, Broeki, Kevin Westphal, and Tristan Schrage do not want to let this happen.

When President Knabe realizes that harder training, face tattoos, the Prime League, and also “Rito” games won’t change their situation, the desperate president is left with one last option. He turns to the LoL god “Faker”, who gives him wise words that could get the team back on the right track. We won’t reveal more at this point.

What is the fans’ reaction?

This is even acknowledged by viewers who previously had no contact with the e-sports team: 

  • „Ok, I have 0 connection to Eintracht Spandau, but this is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for this, a masterpiece“ (@eonbart)
  • „So genius. I would want to see a whole series of it“ (@Der-echte-Hans-Wurst)

  • „I am so glad that a work of art is recreated and not AI slop […] but actually artists were paid. Thank you, Team Spandau“ (@johannes653)
  • „I think the reason why this YT video hasn’t reached 10 million clicks yet is because NoWay is currently online. grrrrrrrrrr“ (@t.b.a.21 20)

But even the official account of Comedy Central Germany praises the work of the involved streamers and e-sport professionals: “Oscar-worthy performances!”

German MMORPG revises its PvP, gives away free items under one condition

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Albion Online, the developers have announced a major PvP update that is set to revise the existing system surrounding faction warfare and aims to ensure more fighting and less waiting. Game Director Moritz Bokelmann (shown in the featured image) discusses the upcoming changes.

What is this update about? With the major update “Realm Divided,” the German developers of Albion Online are focusing on the PvP aspects of the game. The MMORPG places a strong emphasis on PvP and features many battles in the endgame that are fought against other players.

The new update, set to be released on November 24, 2025, aims to improve faction warfare. Players can currently join a faction in the MMORPG and then fight together for territories.

However, because dying in Albion often comes with the loss of items, many groups avoid skirmishes and simply run past each other to capture territories without a fight. But that is set to change.

More fights, less running

What are the developers planning? The developers of Albion Online presented the new system for territorial battles in a video on YouTube. Game Director Moritz Bokelmann (visible in the featured image) explains that the focus of the PvP adjustments will be on more fighting and less running. To achieve this, the developers have first revised which areas will be fought over, aiming to create more confrontation.

Furthermore, the developers have also added new loot spots. In contested areas, there will be new crates that can only be opened after a certain period. Those who loot them will receive the items, but they must fight for them first.

As a third important point, the update introduces a new teleportation feature. It allows players to reach the action much faster and teleport close to contested areas. This prevents lengthy traversing of safe zones before reaching the front lines.

Additional rewards for Xbox Game Pass subscribers

What else is new? Albion Online is now also available on Xbox Game Pass (via AlbionOnline.com). Although the MMORPG is free to play, with an optional premium subscription, players who link their accounts with an active Xbox Game Pass account can receive free items.

Players receive 3 days of premium access, five boosters that enhance gained experience (fame) for three hours, 250,000 experience points (fame), and 200 charges for the victory emote. Unlike League of Legends or Valorant, where players continuously gain advantages with Game Pass, players in Albion do not receive any permanent bonuses or ongoing premium access.

Steve Jobs relied on a simple 3-second rule for better presentations

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Steve Jobs relied on a simple rule to make presentations better and easily understandable: People must understand all the content within 3 seconds. He was inspired by billboards on the highway.

Jobs demonstrated in all his presentations that almost all of his keynote slides contained just one word, one number, or a strong image. A well-known example: the presentation slide introducing the iPhone, which showed three icons for iPod, phone, and internet communicator. Behind this lies a simple rule. This is reported by the English-language magazine Forbes.com.

3-Second Rule for Presentations, as the Audience’s Attention is Low

What is this rule? Steve Jobs relied on a simple rule for his presentations, the so-called 3-Second Principle: A presentation slide should operate under the same principle as a billboard on the highway – it must be understandable within three seconds.

Jobs was inspired by well-made billboards, which drivers need to comprehend in just a few seconds. A presentation slide is considered successful if it is instantly understandable even under time pressure. Because drivers do not have more time, especially when they are not stuck in traffic.

Jobs also employed additional tricks and simple methods to convince the audience:

  • Content is always organized in groups of three because people can remember three things more easily.
  • Many images, little text, known as “Picture Superiority”.
  • Emotions are also an important part of a presentation or performance. Because Jobs aimed not only to convey facts but also to inspire people with a vision and sell dreams instead of products.

Jobs rehearsed his presentations intensively, often for days, until every gesture and slide fit perfectly. A good example is the introduction of the first iPhone: because this presentation was a perfectly rehearsed performance that Jobs had meticulously planned: In 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone: The presentation became legendary, but the device didn’t work properly

Gigantamax Drednaw in Pokémon GO – 4 tips and the best counters

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

Deponitox is making its debut in its Gigantamax form in Pokémon GO. MeinMMO provides you with essential tips for a successful battle.

What kind of event is this? On Saturday, November 1, 2025, the Dyna Battle Day in Pokémon GO will take place from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. It brings Gigantamax Deponitox into the game for the first time.

During the event, you can find and challenge the monster at all energy sources. Additionally, energy sources will refresh more frequently. The limit for Dyna particles is also increased to 1,600 particles during the event, and you will find 8 times the amount of particles at energy sources. The number of special trades is also increased to 2.

On November 1, 2025, from 12:00 AM to 5:00 PM, you will receive double the amount of particles while walking, and you will only need a quarter of the usual distance to obtain them. The remote raid limit is also increased to 20 from November 1, 2025, at 1:00 AM to November 2, 2025, at 4:00 AM.

Pokémon GO: The Season “Stories of Transformation” in the Trailer

4 Tips for Battling Gigantamax Deponitox

1. Distribute the Roles

Gigantamax battles are among the toughest challenges in the game. Therefore, you will need many trainers to defeat the boss. 4 trainers always form a team.

Coordinate within your team who takes which role and brings the appropriate Pokémon. You should have one trainer responsible for healing and another for shields. The other two trainers can focus on dealing damage.

2. Swap in Battle

In a Gigantamax battle, it is crucial to fill your Dynameter with a defender as quickly as possible. Once it is filled, you should swap in your attacker or healer, depending on the role you take in the battle.

After using your attacks, shields, or healing, switch back to your defender. Repeat this process until the boss is defeated.

For a defender, it is important that the monster has a fast attack that only takes 0.5 seconds. This way, you fill your Dynameter the quickest. Also, make sure that your monster is resistant to Deponitox’s attacks.

The following Pokémon are suitable as defenders:

  • Zamazenta (King of Shields) with Metal Claw
  • Metagross with Meteor Mash or Dark Claw
  • Corviknight with Sandstorm
  • Duraludon with Metal Claw
  • Zacian (King of Swords) with Metal Claw

von Franzi Korittke

3. Use the Right Counters

If you are responsible for dealing damage in the battle, you should, of course, use strong counters to deal maximum damage. Remember that your monster’s fast attack determines which Dyna attack it has.

Deponitox is weak against Psychic and Ground type attacks. Therefore, you should ideally use the following monsters:

  • Alakazam with Confusion or Psychic Blade
  • Latios with Zen Headbutt
  • Metagross with Zen Headbutt
  • Excadrill with Mud Shot
  • Silicobra with Confusion or Psychic Blade
  • Latias with Zen Headbutt

If you don’t have any strong counters in your team yet, you can complete the free, limited-time research until the start of the event, which is much easier to complete for the first time.

4. Strengthen Pokémon

The best Pokémon won’t help you in battle if they aren’t strong. So make sure to increase your monster’s CP by leveling them up. Dyna attacks should also be leveled to maximize their effectiveness.

November kicks off in Pokémon GO with the Dyna Battle Day. However, in addition to this day, there are countless events and content waiting for you in the game. What they are and when they take place can be found in our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

7 epic battles where Marvel heroes faced opponents from other universes

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 4 minutes

Marvel often pits its heroes against other franchises. This leads to some crazy combinations. We show you seven of them in this list.

The Marvel universe is vast and rich. It would be enough by itself to tell stories for eternity. The number of heroes and villains is indeed very large. However, now and then, Marvel engages in a crossover with another brand to provide some variety.

The following seven examples show how crazy the combinations can be. They are, of course, just a small excerpt from all the crossovers that have occurred over time. All involve comics or mangas. If you know any others, feel free to share them with us in the comments at the end.

This is a crossover between the heroes of Marvel and those of DC. So it’s a meeting that is obvious – after all, the two comic publishers host some of the most popular heroes that exist.

The story revolves around the conflict between the scientist Krona (from DC) and the immortal Grandmaster (from Marvel), who argue over which of their worlds is superior. To find out, the Justice League must face off against the Avengers – a crossover of epic proportions.

While the teams must find twelve artifacts, epic battles break out time and again. For example, Superman goes up against Thor, or Batman against Captain America. Gradually it becomes clear: the real enemies are not the members of the other team, but Krona and the Grandmaster himself. Thus, they must unite to save the world.

New details from WoW make it clear: We will lose in Midnight

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

We already know a lot about the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft. And one thing is clear: Midnight does not end well.

The Alpha of World of Warcraft Midnight is already in full swing. Not only based on the playable quests, but also due to various achievements, a solid picture can already be assembled regarding how the story of Midnight will end. The first clues clearly indicate: This does not end well.

Spoiler Warning: This article discusses some of the story developments of the upcoming expansion Midnight. If you don’t want to know how the story unfolds, you should not continue reading.

Select a MMO video…

Who found this? The YouTuber and analyst Bellular summarized the information from the Alpha in one of his latest videos. He also came across achievements that summarize the course of the endgame campaign – precisely because you can see the titles of the individual chapters. From this and other data mining information, one can already guess how the story of Midnight will unfold.

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the YouTube content

What was found? The endgame campaign of Midnight is called “The War of Light and Shadow”. This is something that has been hinted in the story of World of Warcraft for over a decade – a final confrontation between light and shadow.

But even more interesting are the chapter names that are part of this achievement. One chapter is called “The Darkwell”, which presumably translates to “Der Finsterbrunnen”. This leads to the assumption: The Sunwell is corrupted by the Void and becomes a source of darkness.

How exactly the well is corrupted seems to be clear already: Through Alleria Windrunner. She is one of the raid bosses in the upcoming expansion and from the dungeon journal, it is already indicated that the Void takes her over and she – at least temporarily – succumbs to madness. Enough time to corrupt the Sunwell.

This aligns with a quote that Xal’atath said back in Legion to priest characters when Alleria absorbed a fallen Naaru on Argus:

“The caterpillar became the butterfly. It now belongs fully to us.”

Whatever happens with the “Darkwell”, it is likely to pose a significant threat to the World Soul of Azeroth.

However, there is also the final chapter “Twilight of a New Well”. This could mean that the corrupted Sunwell is cleansed again after a short time – or the Elves create a new well that will serve as a source of magic for them in the future, as the Sunwell is no longer usable.

Keep in mind that this is still interpretation and data mining. The exact course of the campaign may change or deviate from what is written here.

What does this mean for the next expansion, The Last Titan? It only seems logical that we do not emerge as the great heroes in “Midnight”. This was also the case in The War Within. There we defeated Dimensius, but at the same time equipped Xal’atath with a lot of power.

As the dragon Iridikron is waiting for the Void to fulfill its plan so that the titans must return to Azeroth, from whom he seeks revenge, everything seems to be going according to plan. The various storylines of the last years are thus steering towards a finale that likely requires the defenders of Azeroth to lose first.
But others also lose in Midnight: Shadow Priests. Because their play style will become radically worse.

After the end of New World, a developer now has bad news for the MMORPG to The Lord of the Rings: “You would have loved it”

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

After the layoff of 14,000 Amazon employees, an affected developer gives a hint about the current status of the “Lord of the Rings” MMO, which does not deliver good news for waiting fans.

What has the developer hinted at? The LinkedIn post of a former senior developer at Amazon Games, who was affected by the layoffs at the company, not only shows the love she has for her projects and former colleagues but also gives a clear hint about the current status of the “Lord of the Rings” MMORPG.

This morning, I was part of the layoffs at Amazon Games, along with my incredibly talented colleagues from New World and our little gem ‘Lord of the Rings’ (you would have loved it).

– Ashleigh Amrine, Senior Gameplay Engineer and former Tech Lead at Amazon Games
Ashleigh Amrine Layoff Post LinkedIn
Ashleigh Amrine’s post on LinkedIn (Source: MMO Intel on X)

And in this message is the statement that fans might not want to hear – you “would have” loved it. This suggests that waiting players will likely never have the chance to fall in love with the planned MMO based on the Lord of the Rings. 

If we trust the statement of the former developer, it will therefore not be released.

How reliable is the source? Since the upload of the post on the developer’s LinkedIn page, the message has been removed. However, a screenshot was captured and published by MMO Intel on X. The reason for the message being deleted is not yet explained.

No official statement from Amazon Games regarding the suspected end of the MMO has yet been made.

Since it is about a person who has contributed to the development of the game, her statement should not be ignored directly.

How does the community react to this news? Players and fans of the genre who trust the source react dejectedly to the realization that the “Lord of the Rings” MMO will never be released. Some try to cope with the disappointment through humor, while others are simply frustrated by the decisions made by Amazon:

  • “Of course they [canceled it], lol. I swear we can’t have nice things anymore,” writes Chilled Freshh on X.
  • “One ring to rule them? More like a layoff wave to cancel them all,” writes Alex107 on X.
  • “I hate these decisions from Amazon. Unfortunately, they don’t need any of it. So they just don’t care. But they had the chance to steer the MMO genre back in the right direction,” writes Steven the Heathen on X.

ARC Raiders attracted over 200,000 players simultaneously on the first day, effortlessly reaching the Top 5 on Steam

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

The extraction shooter ARC Raiders was released on October 30, 2025, and already boasts impressive player numbers on Steam. The community ratings are also positive.

What is ARC Raiders? It is a new game from developer Embark Studios and is another representative of the extraction shooter genre. This includes titles like Escape from Tarkov.

The genre is very popular, but it was exciting to see if the dystopian setting and the struggle for survival would once again find its players. As usual, one must face hostile players, called Raiders, but also the ARC, extremely deadly machines.

After many players had eagerly waited on Steam before release, the title is finally here, and the raw numbers reveal how ARC Raiders performs on the platform. Spoiler: The shooter does not need to hide.

And the numbers keep rising …

How is it looking on Steam? ARC Raiders has hit like a bomb. Already around 10 AM, half an hour after release, there were over 140,000 players simultaneously on the servers according to steam.db.

This number continued to grow throughout the day. By 2 PM, the 180,000 players mark was broken, and in the early evening hours of October 30, the game surpassed the 200,000 player mark. The peak continues to rise minute by minute and is currently at over 226,000 simultaneous users (as of: 30.10.2025, 7 PM).

In comparison with other popular titles on Steam, ARC Raiders also performs very well. With these numbers, the game ranks 5th among the most played titles (via steam.db). Behind long-standing favorites and current hits like PUBG, Battlefield 6, Dota 2, and the leader Counter-Strike 2.

This is a remarkable success for the new extraction shooter. The genre is currently popular and competitive, and new titles have it tough. Whether and how the game can maintain this position in the coming days remains to be seen. Currently, the numbers are still rising.

The mood in the community is already good. The game has a rating of “very positive” on Steam, with 87% of users giving it a thumbs up.

What do the players think? User Vanrath calls ARC Raiders on Steam a “gem in today’s times” and praises the gunplay and movement, the understandable crafting, the sound design, and the general coherent atmosphere.

Also, Philschinksy appreciates the dense post-apocalyptic atmosphere and writes on Steam: “The world feels alive and credible, while the teamwork is really fun – especially when taking down large ARCs together.”

For FreudAndError, ARC Raiders is a good alternative to Escape from Tarkov and describes the new game on Steam as “relaxed” in comparison. The title makes it clear that everything here is meant to be fun, and the approach is not too hardcore.

Provided that you enjoy PVP. For User Dragor, the focus on battles against other players is a problem. He would wish for a PVE version. Whether the developers will consider this request is questionable.

So far, the game can convince most users. On consoles, where ARC Raiders will also be released, the servers are likely to be similarly full. If you need help in the game, we have some good beginner tips for you on MeinMMO.

The fourth season of The Witcher has just been released, but fans have already made up their minds: “I’ve read better fan fiction.”

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 3 minutes

On October 30, 2025, Season 4 of The Witcher was released on Netflix. Some fans dove right in to watch the new episodes of the series. They come to a rather clear conclusion.

Fans of The Witcher had to wait two years since the third season of the series. But that has now come to an end. Eight new episodes were released all at once on Netflix. They continue the adventures of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia and are primarily based on the second novel “Sword of Destiny” by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

There was a lot of discussion beforehand about the lead actor. Because while Geralt was portrayed by Henry Cavill in the first three seasons – a true Witcher fan – he has now handed over the role and will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth.

This led to criticism from fans, who even demanded in a petition the return of Cavill. All pleas and begging were of no avail, as the decision was final. Now viewers finally know how the new actor fares as Geralt. And they share their opinions about the new season as a whole.

Not the hoped-for continuation, but …

What do the fans say? Just a few hours after the release of the new episodes, some viewers were probably already through thanks to binge-watching. They are actively sharing their impressions on Reddit, explaining what they liked and what they didn’t.

Looking at the various voices, one thing becomes clear: Many viewers are confused, as the new season feels different from the previous ones. At the center of the criticism is the script along with its dialogues, which don’t seem to fit into the world.

Overall, the tone is now different – this had already been hinted at, as the creators wanted to portray Geralt as significantly more emotional and humorous. Some find the production quality has declined, leading to harsh judgments:

  • “God, the writing is terrible. I’ve read better fanfiction. Is this supposed to come from a professional author?”, wonders Hyper_Mazino on Reddit.
  • MummyBear337 notes on Reddit after a short watch: “Half of Episode 1 is gone, and something is off. Not just Liam. The tone of the series, the characters, the dialogues… I feel like this is a completely different show.”
  • “You can see the actors’ lip movements don’t match the spoken words,” criticizes jpp1974 the technical execution on Reddit.
  • “Nothing fits together. The action choreography is very cheesy. […] The chemistry between the main actors is not the same. It feels like a body without a soul. The story progresses… but to me it feels lifeless,” writes fugaciousredamancy on Reddit.

von Niko Hernes

Is it all bad now? Even though many disappointed and negative voices can be found, there is also clear praise. This is often due to none other than lead actor Liam Hemsworth, who was the biggest point of criticism before the season came out. After viewers actually saw him in the role, their opinions have changed:

  • “Liam is better than I expected; that’s a pleasant surprise,” says eileenOZ on Reddit.
  • “The series is mediocre because it is mediocre, but to be honest, if Liam had been Geralt from the start, the fans would be satisfied. He’s doing quite well,” explains thalandhor.
  • “Honestly, I had no problem with Liam as Geralt at all. The fight scenes were good,” believes zandrew in his post on Reddit.
  • “Okay, I didn’t expect Liam to look so much better than in the trailer and in photos. I think he’s doing a phenomenal job with what he’s been given and the shoes he had to fill,” concludes GWNVKV on Reddit.

By the way, critics find a similar conclusion. On Rotten Tomatoes, the new season has a rating of 50% – here the audience rates it with 25% (as of October 30, 2025, 5:45 PM)

All in all, Season 4 is thus the low point. However, for fans of the Witcher, it might still be worth a look. And it is always best to form your own opinion. Have you seen the new episodes yet? Feel free to let us know in the comments. While Henry Cavill will no longer be seen as Geralt, he is not idle: The reboot of the fantasy film with Henry Cavill in the lead role gives fans a promise 39 years later

Fortnite introduces sweet companions into the game, but with such a brazen condition that the community initially thinks they are fake

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite allows you to embark on a journey with companions starting November 1, 2025, who are especially well-received by players due to their cute appearance. However, when they read about the conditions tied to changing this appearance, they can hardly believe what Epic demands in return.

What kind of companions are these? In a current announcement on fortnite.com, the team introduced a variety of companions that can accompany players in many game modes. These include a banana-dog named Schälchen, which can be unlocked starting November 1 in the next Battle Pass, as well as additional companions named Wuffel, Spike, and Mini-Raptor, who will appear in the shop starting November 7. Epic also promises that, in addition to all the dogs, there will be a suitable companion for cat fans.

The cute little creatures are very popular with the community, mainly due to their cuteness, but the joy over the new companions is dampened by a certain condition. While you can customize the companions’ appearance, you can only do so if you are willing to buy a companion multiple times over – and every time at the same price.

Start video

Players can hardly believe that Epic isn’t ashamed

What shocks players? Anyone wanting to give their furry friend in Fortnite a new look cannot simply apply a new skin. If the companion is to have a new appearance, players have no choice but to purchase a completely “new” companion, even if they already own it. Epic sees this as less problematic, mentioning it quite consciously in the second paragraph of the announcement:

You can customize the appearance of most companions once in the locker after you have received them. Your selection is permanent, so take a good look at the appearance preview before making your final decision.

Under News at fortnite.com

When this information was shared with the community on Reddit, players could hardly believe that this decision could actually be real in Fortnite: “Dude, I have to buy multiple companions so they can wear different shirts? Are you serious?” (Xeallexx on Reddit).

What do fans say about the monetization of customization options? The Fortnite community on Reddit seems almost twice as perplexed, as such a regulation for a game with such a variety of customization options like Fortnite is hard to explain.

“Epic … why are there cosmetic options for companions when you force them to be permanent?” writes the stunned user CosmicAtlas8 on Reddit, “We have 200 equipment slots and thousands of skins because your players love to customize things visually. Please consider updating the customization options so they are not one-time and permanent.”

The user Absolute_Eb’s presumed response – refined with a touch of irony that summarizes the general mood of the players according to responses – is as follows: “As mentioned, you can only customize them once, but you can buy multiple copies […] and provide a small, struggling company like Epic with more financial support” (Source: Reddit).

The handheld for the PS5 is expected to receive a new feature, which could finally solve one of the biggest weaknesses of the device

david hausberger david hausberger Reading time 2 minutes

A new notice in the PlayStation Store is generating buzz among PS Portal owners. Apparently, Sony might be working on a feature that addresses the biggest drawback of the handheld: its reliance on its own PS5. This would make the device much more versatile.

What kind of handheld is this? Currently, the PS Portal serves exclusively as a streaming extension for the PlayStation 5. It cannot run games independently but streams content via Remote Play directly from the home console. Therefore, an active PS5 connected to the same network is always required.

Since November 2024, a beta has been running where PS Plus Premium members can stream select PS5 titles without a PS5 (via blog.playstation.com). However, this offer only covers titles that Sony has included in the PS Plus Premium Game Catalog. A new leak now suggests that this might change soon.

What does the leak promise? On the official subreddit of the PlayStation Portal, user GetTheWetsOn shared a screenshot from the PS app. On the PS Store page for the game “Deliver at All Costs,” he discovered a line stating that one could buy the game and then immediately stream it on PS Portal or PS5, but only with PS Plus Premium. 

The user also mentioned that the line was also found on the Store page of the “Dead Space” remake. He documented the hints, which were shortly thereafter removed from the PS Store.

Link to the Reddit content

How likely and trustworthy is the leak? GetTheWetsOn typically does not post leaks, yet several magazines, including Wccftech and PlayStation LifeStyle, believe there could be some truth to the statement.

They see a possible indication that Sony is preparing for streaming purchased games. So far, the PS Portal is primarily a remote play device for the console itself. However, there are already selected games in the cloud from the PlayStation Plus catalog.

From a technical perspective, cloud streaming on the PS Portal also seems feasible. Sony’s Senior Vice President Hideaki Nishino emphasized in 2023 that remote play and cloud gaming are fundamentally only differentiated by the location of the server (via wccftech).

This is how the community responds: On Reddit, the community reactions in the 186 comments show how much users wish for the feature (as of: 30.10.2025, at 15:15). Many also demand that Sony should allow playing already purchased titles without PS Plus Premium. If Sony actually brings the feature, the handheld would reportedly become more independent and the PS Plus Premium subscription would become significantly more attractive than before.

Sony has not yet commented on the current leak. Until confirmation, it remains a rumor that fans are eagerly following.

The fact that many players wish for this feature and even get creative is shown by another case: A trio successfully hacked the PS Portal to install their own games and make the device more independent.
