In the new episode of 7 vs. Wild, the candidates deliberately break a rule that was specifically designed for this season, putting themselves in great danger. However, the production also played a role.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Season 5 Episodes 1 and 2 of 7 vs. Wild.
What rule was broken? In 7 vs. Wild Season 5, specific rules were established that only apply to this season. They are intended for the safety of the participants, as the Amazon rainforest poses many more dangers than the previous filming locations.
One of these rules states that there must always be a fire burning at night to protect the candidates from wild animals. Snakes, spiders, and other dangerous animals can be deterred by the fire. Mosquitoes are also driven away by the smoke.
However, the candidates spend the first night without a fire and thereby break the most important rule of the season at the very first opportunity, though they are not solely to blame.
Former contestant Knossi knows fire well:

While the candidates do their best in the division of labor to make the camp livable, the search for firewood proves to be particularly problematic. It had been raining during the drop-off, and the high humidity of over 80% makes most of the wood unusable.
This led to the fact that despite great efforts, no campfire could be successfully kindled at first. The participants sacrificed a bottle of hand sanitizer as an accelerant, which at least promised short-term success.
After much work, the group managed to get a fire going, but due to the darkness, the supply of firewood was too low. Thus, the participants decided to spend the first night without a fire.
Why was there so little time? The candidates of 7 vs. Wild had a long journey to their drop-off location. The three-hour hike through the rainforest with guide Chico also left some participants struggling. Thus, the candidates had little energy and time for building the camp, which was likely intended by the production.
Since Season 1, it has been part of the concept of 7 vs. Wild to challenge the candidates right at their drop-off. In past seasons, participants have been allowed to swim to the drop-off point or jump from a helicopter. However, in this case, the measure seems to have been set too high. Even the professionals David Leichtle and Joe Vogel were under pressure.
Even if the production is of course concerned about the safety of the participants and has accordingly established the rules, they should have allowed the candidates more time to ensure the construction of a safe camp. However, the group consciously decided against the safety rule.
It remains unclear whether everything went as planned during the drop-off or if there were problems that caused the candidates to arrive late at their destination. This might be explained in an episode of the show’s “Behind the Scenes” format. In the previous season, there was already a major argument in Episode 2: Not even 24 hours after the drop-off in 7 vs. Wild, the group is already on the verge of splitting

While players rummage through countless chests in Baldur’s Gate 3 to finally find some loot, one of them wanted to know for sure. And this resulted in a significant and measurable outcome.
What did the player discover? The player and YouTuber “Newbie Indie Game Dev” took on the task of not only counting all chests in Baldur’s Gate 3, but also examining their distribution and probability for loot. From his results, it can be weighed whether it is worthwhile for “loot goblins” to thoroughly search all possible chests or if it’s simply a waste of playtime.
After his investigations, the player was able to determine that there are a total of 17,421 chests in Baldur’s Gate 3, of which only 39% are suitable/reachable for interactions – and much more discouraging – only 29% of these interactive boxes are supposed to contain loot.
He defines “chests” as follows: “A container for items, usually rectangular, possibly with a lid, typically made of materials such as wood, cardboard, or metal.” He excludes bags, vases, and mimics.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Newbie Indie Game Dev visually and beautifully shows how he arrived at these numbers and what other interesting findings he was able to uncover during this deep dive.
Here you can see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:

Digging through chests isn’t worth it – at least not for all of them
How did the player go about this action? Counting all chests in Baldur’s Gate 3 by running through the entire game with all maps is not only extremely time-consuming but also not accurate enough. For this reason, he had to take a look at the game files.
Using a script, he searched the game’s item files for certain keywords that were relevant to him, such as Crate, Chest, and Barrel.
This led him to the following results:
The game contains a total of:
1145 chests (7%)
3699 barrels (21%)
12568 crates (72%)
The probabilities that chests contain loot are:
1001 barrels (29% chance)
6000 crates (29% chance)
603 chests (64% chance)
Barrels mostly contain food and alcohol, crates tend to contain tools for lockpicking and trap disarming, and chests mostly hold valuable items like potions, arrows, spell scrolls, gear, or gold.
How exactly he went about these investigations, Newbie Indie Game Dev shows clearly in his video:

What conclusion can be drawn from these results? After the player uploaded his video, he also shared this with the BG3 community on Reddit to share this acquired information with other players.
Since there are many players who are not shy to invest a lot of time in searching chests for loot, the results hit particularly hard. Less than a third of all chests contain any form of loot, which makes it less worthwhile to search all chests in the game. However, chests tend to be more worthwhile since here not only is the chance of finding something higher, but also the value and usefulness of the contents.
“The calls have finally been heard,” writes Baekurly on Reddit, and PhilippTheProgrammer also feels liberated from the burden of ignorance: “… And only after each one of them has been taken into hand will the curse be lifted” (via Reddit).
Chests in Baldur’s Gate 3, however, are useful for more purposes than just storing items. 39% of the 17,412 chests are still enough to stack them to make even the hardest to reach places accessible. A well-known voice actor, DM, and now a player of the most famous Dungeons & Dragons group, was able to use a lot of chests at release to impress even the game’s developers: Legendary genius impresses the head of Baldur’s Gate 3, plays very differently than planned – Shows how creative one can be

On Steam there is a plethora of games. A developer released his first project over 10 years ago and became known for it. Now he wants to publish his new game in a few months, which is supposed to be his best.
Which legendary developer is it? Edmund McMillen is the developer behind the Roguelite hit The Binding of Isaac. The remake is ranked 19th in the Top 250 on Steam and has a 97% positive rating with over 300,000 reviews (steam250.com).
Mewgenics: Trailer and release date for the new game by the creator of The Binding of Isaac
What is Mewgenics? In 2012, the team behind the classic Super Meat Boy, which McMillen also worked on, announced that they were working on a new project called Mew-Genics. However, just a few years later, the development was halted. In 2018, McMillen was finally able to secure the rights to the game concept and the name.
Since then, he has been developing his new game Mewgenics. In this Roguelite tactical game, you must breed a horde of cats and battle with them. In the interview, McMillen says the following about Mewgenics: “I truly believe this is my best game.”
On the Steam page of Mewgenics, the developer promises over 200 hours of gameplay, 6 classes with over 50 abilities, over 800 items, and over 200 enemies. A release of the game is planned for February 2026.
Binding of Isaac was just training for the developer
What else does McMillen say about his new game? Mewgenics is his big passion project, as he tells in the interview. To learn game development, he worked on The Binding of Isaac. However, his “test game” has turned out to be one of the most popular games on Steam.
How do fans react to the interview? A viewer on YouTube writes that McMillen and his developer colleague Tyler Glaiel must be crazy if Binding of Isaac was just a warm-up for Mewgenics. User LevilyJade has been waiting for over 10 years for news about the tactical game and did not expect it to actually exist.
Players fear that the price of GTA 6 will be in the three-digit range. Experts point out why this is rather unlikely.
Why is there concern that the price could be over 100 €? As development costs for AAA games have drastically increased over time, it is assumed that developers are trying to recoup these costs through the purchases of the player base. This is also the case for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
As of today, no exact price for the release of GTA 6 has been announced. Because of this, many players fear a very high price for the highly anticipated game. Therefore, the head of Take Two, the publisher of GTA 6, also spoke out and explained that they want to “offer more value than what is paid.” However, he did not mention an exact price or range.
However, this did little to calm the waters, and the debate among fans and experts regarding the price continues to this day. Experts have therefore examined the backgrounds more closely in the context of a study and believe: That GTA 6 will cost 100 € or more is rather unlikely, as developers would harm themselves with this.

Rockstar Games presents GTA 6 in the second trailer
Higher Price = Less Profit?
What are the results of the study? A recent study by MIDiA Research (via IGN) shows that a price of 100 € or more for GTA 6 will most likely not be realized, as Rockstar and Take Two would “leave money on the table” with that.
The researchers argue that while a too high entry price would initially increase revenue per unit sold, it would simultaneously significantly reduce the total number of copies sold and thus the player base.
According to the study, which used the Gabor-Granger method for pricing (see wirtschaftslexikon.gabler.de) and surveys of 2,000 American consumers, especially a price of $69.99 (approximately 70 €) is likely. This would maximize both the units sold and the total revenue:
“Our research suggests that GTA 6 will generate more revenue at a standard price of $69.99 than at the much-discussed $100. At a price of $100, money would actually be left on the table.”
Thus, with a market launch at a price of $69.99, about 8.6% of the adult US population would buy the game, resulting in 22.9 million copies sold and approximately $1.6 billion in revenue.
The study further shows that 60% of respondents would “definitely” or “probably” buy GTA 6 for $69.99, while only 35% would pay $99.99 for the game. About 79% would buy the game at a price of $49.99 and only 16% at a price of $149.99.
There is still a while to go until the release of GTA 6 on May 26, 2026. Until then, we can expect the official announcement of the final price and the start of pre-orders. You will likely have to wait a bit longer to see if the experts’ assessment holds true. In the meantime, a streamer on Twitch believes that GTA 6 could significantly raise prices in the AAA sector and that this is not a problem: GTA 6 could raise the prices for all AAA games: Streamer on Twitch sees no problem in it

If you’re looking to learn a new language, chances are you’ve heard of Duolingo. The app is infamous for its Anime-memes. Now it’s getting its own series.
What does the app have to do with Animes? Duolingo is an app for learning new languages, including Japanese. But not only the app itself, even Duolingo’s social media channels are linked to Japan.
The team behind the green owl, which is Duolingo’s mascot, has previously posted memes revolving around Animes:
Duolingo has already recreated a scene from Jujutsu Kaisen with its own mascots. This is a significant spoiler if you don’t know the manga (see it on X).
For the movie Haikyu!! The Garbage Dump Playoff, the social media team even uploaded a trailer since they couldn’t wait for the film (see it on X).
The ice skating anime Yuri!!! on Ice has also received its own parody. You can check it out on YouTube.
The team has some experience with Animes. And as seen in a new trailer, the app will soon have its own anime!
You can find the new trailer here:

What kind of anime is this? The new Duolingo anime centers around the final test. As seen in the trailer, the app’s learning mechanics play a significant role. There are buttons with different words in various languages that must be used correctly.
The green owl becomes the villain, forcing the other mascots from the app to participate in a beta program. Their lives are at stake, as there are lava pits and falling rocks.
The streak that players can achieve in real life by learning multiple days in a row is also visible in the anime. And if you don’t maintain this streak, the app will often remind you emphatically to complete your daily exercises. Even the icon in your menu can change into a sad owl if you don’t study. Typical clichés like a magical girl transformation are also depicted.
What do others think about it? In the comments under the YouTube video, fans are divided. On one hand, there are viewers who are excited about the anime and can’t wait for it to come out.
On the other hand, there is criticism that Duolingo has fired its creative employees and replaced them with AI. Duolingo’s CEO announced in April 2025 that contractors are to be gradually replaced by AI. Because of this, some fans intend to boycott the anime.
When and where can the anime be seen? The anime consists of a total of 5 episodes, which will be available on YouTube on October 13 at 5 PM German time. You’ll need to pay no subscription fees to watch it.
With Duolingo, it’s possible to learn a new language. However, if you are not satisfied with the app or its corporate policies, there are other alternatives.

With Project Ghost, former WoW developer Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street aimed to create an innovative MMORPG from the West once again. Now the project threatens to fail before it is even released.
What project is it about? It is about “Project Ghost” from the studio Fantastic Pixel Castle, founded by former WoW lead Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street, with additional veterans such as former WoW lead Brian Holinka also working on it.
The MMORPG aimed to bring new innovations, like the red and blue zones, which were meant to reinvent exploration for the MMORPG genre. Even the first testers were extremely enthusiastic, but already before the game is released, it threatens to fail.

Publisher withdraws
Why does the project threaten to fail? In a new post on X.com, studio founder Greg Street announced that the publisher NetEase has parted ways with the development studio. While the former WoW lead thanks for the good collaboration, he also sees a difficult future ahead.
He explains in the same post that they are in the process of looking for a publisher and investor for the MMORPG. Meanwhile, he would advise employees to apply for other positions. He also expresses very clear words:
If we do not find a publisher soon, the studio will probably close, and the entire team, including the executives, would be affected.
Already in August, there was a report stating that the publisher had cut the financing package for the MMORPG studio, leading the studio to start cutting costs.
The MMORPG for Warhammer, which comes from industry veteran Jack Emmert, who has been involved in games like Neverwinter Online, Star Trek Online, and City of Heroes, also had to seek new investors.
The creators of Game of Thrones have released a new trailer for the upcoming spin-off series. It focuses on a legendary knight who became famous for his deeds.
What kind of series is this? After Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, fans can now look forward to a new series from the GoT universe. It is called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
The series takes place 89 years before the events of Game of Thrones and 77 years after the finale of the second season of House of the Dragon. It focuses on the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg.
Ser Duncan is played by Peter Claffey, whom you might know as Dunstan from Vikings: Valhalla. Egg is portrayed by Dexter Soll Ansell, who began acting in series like Emmerdale at the age of 2 and has also been seen as young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
You can watch the brand new trailer here:

How does Ser Duncan appear in GoT? Ser Duncan is mentioned exactly twice in Game of Thrones:
In Season 1, Old Nan asks the paralyzed Bran Stark if he wants to hear a story about the great knights. She mentions Ser Duncan.
In Season 4, young King Joffrey Baratheon reads from a directory of all members of the Kingsguard. Ser Duncan has accomplished so many great deeds that he fills whole pages and impresses Joffrey.
The knight, however, does not appear in Game of Thrones as he is already deceased by that time. However, we see a descendant of his in the series, who is also striving to become a great knight.
What do fans say about the trailer? Under the YouTube video of the new trailer, there are two camps of fans. Some are excited about the trailer and praise its “light-hearted and warm atmosphere” from the book.
Some even notice special details in the trailer, such as the fact that Baelor stands at the front during a lineup.
Another user is already frustrated that probably only a few episodes will be released and he has to wait for new episodes. However, this shows that he liked the trailer so much that he doesn’t want to wait any longer for new episodes.
Battlefield 6 is not only for long-time shooter professionals who shoot everything to the ground. It is also for casual players and older gamers. And in Battlefield, anyone can be a valuable teammate, at least if these 10 tips are followed.
What are these tips? In Battlefield 6, you don’t need god-like aim or devilish movement to be valuable to your team. There are a few tips we can give you to help you contribute to success without extensive training.
Many tips aim to play the game as a team, make proper use of your class, and not consider yourself an unbeatable action hero.
Do not go lone wolf
Stay with your squad and don’t roam alone – you are not John Rambo. Your squad is prepared for different situations thanks to the diverse classes, for which you have no answer alone with your class. Also, your squad can revive you at any time, even if they don’t have a Medic. This saves tickets, which is crucial for victory.
PTFO (Play the f* objective!)
It’s about victory, not useless kills. Capture flags, protect objectives, and occasionally play classes that are necessary for the team’s success, like an Engineer when your opponents are dominating with vehicles.
Start video

Wait for dead squad mates
If your entire squad has fallen, you should, if possible, briefly take cover to allow your teammates to respawn at your position. If you die or are permanently in combat, they have to spawn at the possibly faraway flag.
Wait for the revive
Don’t give up too quickly when you’re bleeding out. Instead, wait for a possible revive; otherwise, you waste tickets! This is especially a surefire way to lose as an attacker in modes like Rush and Breakthrough.
Utilize your class
Medics, please use your defibrillator and revive fallen soldiers! You might be playing the class because it is now also responsible for supplying new ammunition, but that doesn’t prevent you from using the defibrillator. Also regularly deploy your crates to heal teammates and supply them with ammunition.
Engineers, focus on vehicles. Destroy enemy and repair allied vehicles. Also important: RPGs are not intended for killing infantry.
Recon: You are not just there to camp on a mountain and snipe. Supply your team with intel, scout areas, and mark enemies.
Assault soldiers, you are also more than just a battering ram with two primary weapons. A spawn beacon or the new ladder may provide your team with more than a secondary weapon that you often do not use.
Choose your class wisely
Adopt a class that has not been chosen by your squadmates or is still needed to be as broad and prepared for all eventualities as possible. In team deathmatch without vehicles, you may not need two engineers, while a medic might be useful.
Reconnaissance is important
Mark enemy infantry and vehicles (not just as Recon), your team will thank you and help you. Especially helicopters and jets can provide better support from the air and quickly and precisely eliminate enemy tanks when you mark them.
Tanks are not rental cars
Vehicles are crucial for success, don’t waste them and absolutely do not leave them unmanned. It harms your team massively if you just drive a tank to the flag and then leave it there. Your opponents can steal it, and your team cannot use or replace it until it is destroyed.
In some situations, it may be wise to choose your equipment for defensive situations. A smoke grenade may be more valuable to your team than a frag grenade. Also gadgets like the medic’s grenade deflector or the recon’s motion sensor can help hold a crucial contested position and thus secure victory.
Practice outside of open matches as well
Every player has the opportunity to create and use their own server in Portal. There you can, for example, attempt your first flight with a helicopter or a jet. Of course, you can also do this in an ongoing match, but it rarely ends in success. If you do manage to take off, you quickly have enemy Stingers, jets, or helicopters behind you. So you won’t learn much until you find yourself in a wreck. Additionally, the final phase of a contested match with enemy vehicle dominance may not be the best time to practice.

5 Tips to Get Better at LoL
What tips did the two professionals give? After the question, Upset first replied with: learn from your mistakes. While this may sound quite obvious, in LoL it is worth rewatching old matches. This is quite easy to do through the launcher and your match history. There you can see if you could have acted better in a team fight.
As a second point, Upset mentioned farming. This is important for all roles, but especially the ADC benefits from items the most. A very good farm compared to the opponent can be more useful than just having a few more kills.
As the last point, Upset stated that one should not tilt, meaning one should not get angry. BrokenBlade also mentioned this aspect as a point. He explained in the interview:
You need a strong mental. Buddha-mental. Top laners have it tough […] You need a good mental as a top laner, that will win you many games.
What exactly do both mean by that? It only concerns your mindset. No matter how you play and what happens in the game, you should try to keep calm and not tilt even if your teammates are not exactly friendly. If you are angry or chat a lot, you also make more mistakes.
In addition, BrokenBlade gave 2 more tips for beginners. First, you should learn wave management. This is especially important on the top and mid lanes because you can control and manage the minion waves through techniques like freezing and slow-push. This way, you can ensure that your opponent loses gold.
Controlling the minion waves is somewhat more complex, as you want to keep a certain number of enemy minions alive depending on your strategy and only make the last hit to get the gold. You can find a detailed guide on this on Mobalytics. It explains how to optimally execute a freeze, so that the opponent automatically pushes into you. The slow-push, which is the slow preparation of a large wave, and the fast-push, which is the strong pushing onto the opponent, are also explained.
Secondly, BrokenBlade mentions jungle pathing. He states that it is very, very important, because when you’re alone, you don’t get much help. By this, BrokenBlade means that one should know the locations of their and the enemy jungler to avoid getting surprised, but also to know when they can expect help.

Those who long for Shadowlands in World of Warcraft will soon be heard. At least the dungeons are returning.
Shadowlands marks the absolute low point in the history of World of Warcraft. It was the time when even die-hard fans began to think for the first time: Maybe it’s finally coming to an end for WoW. The story did not go over well, long waits for content updates, and the game was full of “mandatory tasks” that often stifled the fun of playing. Now World of Warcraft is bringing back a part of Shadowlands – as timewalking.
Currently, the Legion Remix event is happening in WoW:
Start video
WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works
What has been found? The website wowhead has found another feature in the data of patch 11.2.7 – that is, the patch that also introduces housing in WoW – alongside the Patch, a new timewalking event is starting in an expansion that hasn’t existed before: Shadowlands. This means that you will be able to visit many of the old dungeons in the timewalking variant to level quickly and receive different rewards.
As usual, this also comes with some new vendors offering various cosmetic items for timeworn currencies. Among them are mounts, but also pets and toys – such as “Steward’s Bauble,” which allows you to transform into a steward. It’s a shame that the stewards were never introduced as an Allied Race.
Which dungeons are included? A large portion of the dungeons from Shadowlands are available. The following have been confirmed through data mining so far:
The Necrotic Wake
Theater of Pain
Plaguefall
The Other Side
Halls of Atonement
Theater of Pain
Hence, the Mist of Tirna Scithe and the Theater of Pain are not included. Both dungeons were only recently in the “M+” rotation, so it will probably be bearable to forgo them.
Also not included are the Tazavesh dungeons. While they originally come from Shadowlands, they are currently seen more as part of The War Within, as the dungeon is integrated into the current story.
When is it coming? According to the current schedule, the patch will be released in early December, specifically on December 3, 2025. That’s the day the early access for housing also begins. If you can’t make sense of this whole modern “house nonsense” and believe that “everything was better back then,” you are welcome to have fun in the Shadowlands dungeons and rethink your opinion.
In contrast to many other contents from Shadowlands, the dungeons are considered solid and were even quite popular. Many of them still maintain the relatively modern style that Blizzard adopted with the end of Legion. If you prefer to experience the Legion dungeons, you should take a look at Legion Remix, as it is rightly praised, even by us.

Siege of Cairo
Iberian Offensive
Liberation Peak
Empire State
Operation Firestorm (known from Battlefield 3)
Saints Quarter
New Sobek
Mirak Valley
Manhattan Bridge

What you need to know about the maps of Battlefield 6
Siege of Cairo
Siege of Cairo is set in the capital of Egypt. There are wide streets marked by the destruction of war and narrow alleys where foot soldiers seek cover from various steel war machines like tanks.
Iberian Offensive
On this map, you move through the streets of Gibraltar. There are multi-story houses closely lined up, offering infantry the opportunity to take out tanks from ambush, street fighting, burning cars, and the general flair of an urban setting.
Liberation Peak
The map Liberation Peak is characterized by uneven terrain and small houses. The battle takes place in the mountains of Tajikistan, allowing helicopters and jets to intercept and pressure enemy troops from dizzying heights.
Empire State
Empire State is a pure infantry map, similar to the popular Battlefield maps Metro and Spind. This means that you will not be able to use vehicles like tanks or helicopters on this map – you only travel with your soldier.
Unlike on Metro and Spind, you are not primarily in a building on Empire State, squeezing through narrow passages with 64 men. The map takes place in the streets and buildings of Brooklyn, a borough of New York City. There is plenty of cover, but also a lot of nested corners and hiding spots.
Operation Firestorm
With Operation Firestorm, an iconic map from Battlefield 3 returns. You fight on a burning oil field and the terrain of a nearby refinery, utilizing key means of warfare: tanks, helicopters, and of course, plenty of infantry.
Saints Quarter
Saints Quarter is also an infantry map like Metro, Spind, and Empire State – again, there are no vehicles or aircraft. This time, the war takes you into the narrow streets and alleys of the old town of Gibraltar. The focus is on close-quarters combat, culminating at certain chokepoints.
Visually, the map impresses mainly with colorful residential houses decorated with various flowers and ivy plants – at least until rocket launchers and C4s have torn down the walls. After all, an enemy could be waiting in any of these beautiful houses.
New Sobek
New Sobek is located in a suburb of Cairo and makes large, unfinished construction sites the scene of battles between infantry, tanks, and helicopters.
Mirak Valley
In Mirak Valley, you will find a region that has been swept by war, leaving a trail of destruction behind. Nothing reminds of a landscape where people once lived. Between residential houses, trenches run. Mirak Valley will be the largest map of Battlefield 6 at release and serve as a playground for all kinds of vehicles.
Manhattan Bridge
Manhattan Bridge is a map in New York City that offers nearly everything that Battlefield has in its repertoire. Whether in a tank, helicopter, or as an infantryman – you fight for control over the streets of the city and spread destruction.
In Battlefield 6, the maps and their design will play a major role and contribute significantly to how successful the game will be. A good map is crucial for whether you have fun in the current round or are frustrated.
The specific release time for Battlefield 6 is known. MeinMMO tells you when you can download and play the game.
At what time is the release? The release of Battlefield 6 in Germany is on October 10, 2025, at 5:00 PM, as can be seen in the PlayStation Store.
If you are interested in the release times of other countries because you might be abroad during the release, you can find the worldwide release times below.
Does the New Zealand trick work? No! The release is global at the same time everywhere. Therefore, you have no advantage if you take “vacation” in New Zealand. You can still only play at 5:00 PM German time.
Update from October 10, 2025: We have reviewed the article and made some structural adjustments.

Players of Borderlands 4 are creating a mod to skip dialogues and save time. However, a developer warns against their use.They may potentially lead to mission states not being saved properly and not being recoverable.
What kind of mod is this? Some players of Borderlands 4 are frustrated that they cannot skip dialogues in the game. Especially for speedrunners or players who have already completed the game and thus already know the dialogues, the option to skip would be a relief.
For this reason, the community has now developed a mod that is gaining popularity. It is available on Nexusmods and can be downloaded by any player. With it, players have the options:
to skip dialogues
to completely disable dialogues
to fast forward longer animations
On X, a post has called for the option to be officially integrated into the game. However, the suggestion received considerable backlash from one of the developers.

Developer cannot promise mod function for Borderlands 4
What does the developer warn about? In a post on X , the user lil_gasmask asks the developers of Borderlands 4 to officially incorporate this option into the game: “From casual gamers to hardcore challenge players / speedrunners – I believe I can say that most of us want this.”
The creative director Graeme Timmins responded to the post with a warning. He claims that using this mod could lead to missions being saved incorrectly and not being recoverable.
Regarding the demand to incorporate the option into the game, he further states: “This request is much more complex and risky than it appears at first glance, as the dialogues are integrated into our mission system. Don’t ask me how I know this.” (Source: X).
The mechanics in Borderlands 4 seem too complicated for such a function to be simply integrated into the game. It may therefore be that this option does not make it into the title at all.
Even without the mod, Borderlands 4 is still a fun game, just a bit longer. If you need more tips and tricks to progress in Borderlands 4, we have plenty of guides with valuable insights compiled on MeinMMO: Borderlands 4: All guides, tips, and lists overview

The 2nd season of One Piece will premiere in 2026 on Netflix. It features an actor showcasing the set where a particularly touching moment takes place. Make sure to have tissues ready!
Which set is it? The actor Clive Russell, whom you might know from Game of Thrones, will play the former ship’s doctor Krokus in the Netflix series of One Piece.
In a new video on X uploaded on the official account, he takes the viewers to the set where we first meet the whale Laboon. By the way, you can also see how the whale and Krokus will look in the series on the account.
Next to the Straw Hat Pirates’ ship, recognizable by Nami’s orange trees, we see a destroyed shipwreck. According to Russell, it embodies an “enormous power” and at the same time an “extraordinary vulnerability”.
For the actor, this is a particularly emotional moment, as he becomes aware of the loneliness of his character and the tragic backstory of Laboon. In keeping with this, Netflix writes on its account that Russell’s set visit is full of heart.

A new sneak peek shows behind the scenes of One Piece season 2 and how some fight scenes were filmed
Laboon has perhaps the most emotional moment in Season 2
Warning: The following question touches on content from Season 2 without spoiling specific characters.
Why is the scene so sad? Laboon was a young whale and a member of a pirate crew. However, before entering the Grand Line, the young one had to be left behind, as it became too dangerous on the fabled sea.
The pirate crew promised to pick Laboon up again once they had sailed around the Grand Line. As we know from the manga, however, the promise cannot be fulfilled as intended. And so the whale has been waiting for 52 years to finally be picked up.
Krokus has also been looking after the whale for just as long. He is a lighthouse keeper overseeing the gateway to the Grand Line. The two have thus spent several decades together in shared loneliness, without the certainty of whether Laboon will ever be picked up.
Could they be important for the finale? By the end of One Piece, Laboon will hopefully be reunited with the pirate crew – or at least with the part that is still left of him.
Unfortunately, it is still uncertain when exactly the 2nd season of One Piece will start. However, there are already some trailers and revelations from actors involved in the live-action adaptation. You can check out all the previous leaks and information regarding the real series of the anime on MeinMMO: One Piece Season 2: Release, Trailer, and Cast for the Netflix series

One thing will be less at the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, as the developers have now confirmed.The skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) is said to be reduced in the matches.
SBMM stands for skill-based matchmaking and describes a system that selects your teammates and opponents based on your skill and performance. The better you play, the stronger your opponents will be. The SBMM has been criticized by a part of the community for years. They say that the system ensures that they can no longer play relaxed rounds and have to give their best in every match. This takes the fun out of playing.
What kind of change is this? The skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) was also not well received by players at the release of the beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The developers quickly responded to the negative feedback and integrated the “Open Moshpit” mode with weakened SBMM. Now the system is also to be adjusted for the release of Black Ops 7.
At release, the SBMM in the multiplayer mode is supposed to be reduced. During matchmaking, player skills should only be minimally considered when players play a match together. The goal is to create more diverse lobbies.

Developers respond to player feedback
The insights from the beta were summarized in a blog post on callofduty.com. However, it is important to mention that these are not patch notes, but rather a summary.
Regarding the SBMM, it says: “At launch, open matchmaking with minimal consideration of player skill will be the standard for Black Ops 7 multiplayer. Simply put: Imagine the matchmaking experience of Open Moshpit from the beta, only that it is the standard in Black Ops 7 from day one.”
What else is supposed to change? Treyarch has other adjustments planned as well. Some players found the aim assist too strong in the beta, and they want to work on that too. The aim is to achieve a fair balance between players with controllers and players with mouse and keyboard.
There should also be permanent lobbies where players can play multiple games against the same opponents or teammates.
This is what fans say:On Reddit, the announcement is received positively. Some write that this is a “massive W” (a win). For example, inferno_xxiv writes: “Can’t wait. How about an open playlist for Black Ops 6 until BO7 comes out?”
Others note that the upcoming release of Battlefield 6 is likely prompting the developers of CoD: Black Ops 7 to make some changes that the community has initiated.
The Pokémon Center has had an online store in a few countries for many years, offering exclusive merchandise related to the colorful pocket monsters. Surprisingly, a new store has now opened in Germany.
What kind of store is this? The Pokémon Center previously only had online stores in the USA, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Here, exclusive merchandise related to Pokémon is available. The focus is mainly on plush toys, which are also designed seasonally for holidays like Halloween and Christmas.
In addition, there are other items that can be useful for the household or that one can show off to friends. These include:
Figures
Video games
Cards from the trading card game
Dishes
Clothing, including socks
Bags
Anyone in Germany who wanted to buy these items has so far come away empty-handed. The online store only ships to the respective countries where it is available. Since its opening around 11 years ago in the USA, there has been no way to ship the fan merchandise to Germany.
However, surprisingly, the German version of the online store has launched today.
From now on, fans of Pokémon can purchase various plushies and other items. Currently, the site focuses mainly on plush toys related to Eevee and its evolutions, Halloween, and backpacks.
Start video

Online store opens mainly with plush toys
Is the store worth it? Upon opening, the Pokémon Center doesn’t have as many items for sale as in other countries. It mainly offers plush toys of various Pokémon, focusing particularly on popular pocket monsters like Pikachu and Gengar.
The selection is thus limited due to beta status, but could still be worth it depending on your favorite Pokémon. Over time, you should especially check the shop, as seasonal merchandise is often lovingly designed.
Prices range from 12 euros for small keychains to over 550 € for life-sized plushies. It can therefore quickly become expensive, depending on which items you have your eye on. So plan ahead what you want to buy within your budget.
You should hurry: even though the shop has only been online for a few hours, several items are already sold out. It is not specified on individual pages whether they will be restocked.
What do other fans say about it? On Reddit, some fans are excited that the shop is opening in Germany as well. However, many users are hoping for more shops in Europe. Countries like Poland and France are still left empty-handed.
Where else can I get merchandise? There are other online shops in Germany (and other countries) that sell Pokémon merchandise. These include Elbenwald and well-known wholesalers like Amazon. Here, you can find numerous fan items featuring the pocket monsters besides plush toys.
Only a short time until the release of Battlefield 6, but before fans decide to purchase, they want to know what the reviews promise. Therefore, we summarize the impressions of the first testers.
When can you expect reviews? On October 9, 2025, at 5:00 PM, the review embargo was lifted for all testers, and with it, the first reviews were published. So far, Battlefield 6 looks solid, as the game has an average score of 84 points on Metacritic with currently 45 reviews (as of October 9, 5:10 PM).
We, as well as GameStar and GamePro, have also published reviews. Here are the tests:

The return to the roots, but with weaknesses
What can I expect? On Metacritic there are 45 tests, which are divided as follows (as of October 9, 5:10 PM):
PC: 15 reviews with an overall score of 81
14 positive
1 mixed
Xbox: 3 reviews with an overall score of 88
3 positive
PS5: 27 reviews with an overall score of 83
25 positive
2 mixed
As for the positive feedback, many testers are thrilled with the multiplayer. The site Critical Hits states that Battlefield 6 is returning to its roots. The game creates the same “WOW” effect as back in the days of Battlefield 4 when skyscrapers collapsed.
Dexerto also believes that Battlefield 6 has brought the shooter series back on track. The developers have rediscovered how to create a solid Battlefield. According to the tester, the campaign is short but exciting.
TheGamer must admit that Battlefield 6 is the first blockbuster shooter in a long time that brings excitement again. It was fun to get to know the maps and weapons, and there is anticipation to find out what DICE has planned after the release.
Is there anything to criticize? For the tester from Hey Poor Player, Battlefield 6 is good, but the campaign ends just when it gains real momentum. Additionally, the shooter does not take new directions, which is unfortunate.
Gamekult also misses innovations in Battlefield 6. The campaign feels like DICE is trying to copy Call of Duty, which the tester does not quite like.
Quick overview – What is Battlefield 6? With Battlefield 6, DICE aims to regain the trust of its fans. Its predecessor took a wrong turn that many fans condemned, but with Battlefield 6, the situation looks better.
The shooter returns to the origins of the series and brings back the classes. The maps are varied and immersive, and the gameplay has already captivated many during the beta.
Explosions, gunfire and destruction – Battlefield 6 knows how to captivate a long-time fan of the series. I played Battlefield 6 in advance and spent around 25 hours in multiplayer. This is my impression so far.
Who is writing here? Dariusz is a passionate shooter player. Whether PvE or PvP, when there are guns involved, Dariusz is present. His first Battlefield experiences were during his school days in his buddy’s gaming PC during free periods, who lived close to school and was a huge fan of Battlefield 3. Battlefield 4 was Dariusz’s real entry into the series. Since then, he has spent hundreds of hours in various installments, but he also plays the competition: Delta Force, Rainbow Six: Siege, Call of Duty, The Finals, Counter-Strike, Valorant, Insurgency: Sandstorm, Hell Let Loose, Escape from Tarkov. With thousands of hours in different shooters, he now looks forward to Battlefield 6.

Weapons, gadgets, and new features that are fun
One of the most important aspects of a new shooter is the weapons and the gunplay. I find that Battlefield 6 has done well in that regard overall. There’s a decent selection for different situations. Short or long distance, fully automatic or semi-automatic, high damage or high rate of fire – there’s something for everyone. And they sound really punchy and feel that way too.
The respective weapons also feel different, making it fun to try out the various firearms and maximize their potential with attachments. It becomes clear that, for example, SMGs with a high rate of fire are not meant for long-range combat. On the other hand, it’s obvious that weapons with high damage, low fire rate, and minimal recoil perform well at long distances but are inferior to SMGs and shotguns in close combat. This results in a seemingly successful, naturally balanced weapon gameplay at first glance.
Nevertheless, the weapon behavior is memorable and intuitive. You don’t need to be a pro to handle a weapon in its respective specialty. It’s important to understand where a weapon has its strengths and weaknesses.
The highlights of the game also include the new gadgets and features of Battlefield 6. The ability to revive a fallen comrade is extremely well done. I raved about this feature after the beta. Additionally, we now have the sledgehammer as a melee weapon, allowing even a support player to breach a wall without handing them a powerful C4.
I am also a big fan of the new assault soldier ladder. It’s a very practical addition and allows for quickly reaching an elevated position or unexpectedly flanking an enemy by coming through a window instead of the stairs. In the test, I saw a ladder leading to a container. I then placed my own ladder on the container to get into a building from there – that was great.
In Battlefield 6 you can go up high with the ladders of the assault soldier.
The biggest concerns of the community are not a problem
After the beta of Battlefield 6, there were mainly two major criticisms that troubled part of the community:
The movement is too fast: this is Battlefield and not Call of Duty.
The maps are too small, and accordingly, the overall game speed is too high; we also need large maps.
The movement
In my opinion, the movement is just right. It’s not as extreme as, for example, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and it’s not so slow, sluggish, and realistic as in military simulations.
Although the movement system was slightly “nerfed” after the beta, it is hardly noticeable for the average player. The change particularly affects those who managed to perform unintended, extreme maneuvers through certain techniques.
If you found the movement in the beta too fast and frantic, it might still be too fast for you. But as I already mentioned after the beta: Maybe you will enjoy games like Arma or Squad more if Battlefield 6 feels too fast. I personally like it.
The maps
In the beta, we could play four maps: Iberian Offensive, Siege of Cairo, Liberation Peak, and Empire State. With the exception of Liberation Peak, all these maps are relatively small and focus on fast close-quarter combat.
With the full release, Battlefield 6 has five additional maps:
Manhattan Bridge
Operation Firestorm
Saints Quarter
New Sobek
Mirak Valley
Some of these maps are noticeably larger, but without endless vastness and limited cover – a problem from the notorious predecessor.
Manhattan Bridge is a medium-sized city map with buildings you can access, walkable houses, plenty of cover, and wide streets. There are both helicopters and tanks here. It serves as a middle ground between the large and small maps, offering space for intense battles at varying distances.
New Sobek and Mirak Valley are large maps that offer wide spaces and play slower. Nevertheless, there are also hotspots where infantry fight for flag control. Similarly, Operation Firestorm fits this concept, but Battlefield veterans have known it for years.
Overall, I found the mix of maps and gameplay speed good. There are small and large maps, and aside from Liberation Peak, I really enjoy playing them all – with a small reservation regarding the game modes.
New Sobek is a spacious map in Battlefield 6.On the Manhattan Bridge map, you explore the streets of NYC.
Battlefield 6 has the perfect new mode, but a weakness in a classic
With Battlefield 6, a new mode called Escalation is introduced, where 64 players fight for flag control on large maps. Unlike Conquest, the flags are destroyed over time, and the team that holds the flag at that moment gets one point. The first team to reach 3 points wins.
The gameplay of Escalation is reminiscent of Conquest, but – as the name aptly describes – with the caveat that the battle inevitably escalates. If both teams hold the same number of flags, you will eventually have to fight for the last remaining flag. And then it gets really intense.
The mode is exciting, action-packed, and fits perfectly into the Battlefield gameplay feel. I definitely see myself playing this new mode more often in the future, even if Conquest remains my favorite.
The big BUT: I will definitely avoid playing Breakthrough on Manhattan Bridge – at least as an attacker. It should have already been the first sector that usually brought the round to an end. The attackers have almost no chance. That wasn’t just my feeling; it was something that was heard in the in-game chat almost every round during the test – even from truly strong players like the German-speaking content creators Lost and Benbit, who regularly topped the scoreboard.
Eventually, it was finally time: the attackers managed to take the first sector and even win the match. It was the first and only time during the test, but it was definitely a celebratory moment. Still, it wasn’t fun on that map.

Battlefield 6: Mit diesen Tipps werdet ihr zum besseren Squad-Spieler
Additionally, a bland aftertaste was the limited availability for playing with restricted weapons – meaning the classic Battlefield experience, where some weapon types are only reserved for certain classes.
Although there is a corresponding playlist, that is only one option. The focus is on playlists with open weapons. Thus, we cannot select the prioritization of matches with restricted weapons in personalized searches. The search only works with open weapons. So if you want to play only specific modes on specific maps, it initially only works with open weapons.
An important change makes aircraft usable
Aircraft have a tough standing in Battlefield. When they are good, seasoned pilots can easily dominate entire lobbies – but just as quickly, they can become completely useless. That was the case in the beta of Battlefield 6.
Every engineer could simultaneously carry an RPG and a Stinger to be prepared against both tanks and helicopters. Accordingly, we saw many pilots desperately trying to escape countless Stinger missiles in Liberation Peak – but eventually, everyone got hit.
With the full release, Stingers are now significantly weaker. Aircraft cannot be targeted if they fly below a certain altitude. A skilled pilot can thus use low flight to counter the auto-targeting missiles. Combined with the various mountains and valleys, it was even possible to survive in an aircraft for several minutes in Liberation Peak and even achieve kills – at least for a good pilot; I am not one.
Moreover, engineers must now decide again whether to take a missile launcher for air defense or one against tanks, as both options can no longer be equipped at the same time.
In Battlefield 6, as an engineer, you can no longer equip 2 launchers at the same time.
A huge problem I noticed way too late
It was the second day I was testing the multiplayer when suddenly an extremely annoying problem occurred: I played for about 3 hours but didn’t earn any experience points and didn’t level up. This meant that during this time I also didn’t unlock any new weapons or gadgets.
I wanted to unlock the assault rifle B36, which you get at level 14. After the first match, I thought I just hadn’t leveled up. After the second match, I realized I still didn’t have the weapon but thought I should have earned enough XP. I assumed the unlocking of weapons was faulty. That had been the case before but was quickly fixed by the developers. However, to play with the unlocked weapons, you had to restart the game – and I didn’t want to do that.
I was really having fun and didn’t want to waste time on a tedious restart. So I just played with other weapons and unlocked better attachments there. So I just kept playing, had fun, and didn’t pay attention to my level during that time.
Eventually, our session for the day ended, and I realized: Oh no, I’m still level 13. I didn’t level up in about 3 hours and even after restarting the game, I didn’t receive the XP and the weapons I should have earned during that time. That was extremely frustrating.
Fortunately, when I played the next match, I started receiving experience points again and could finally unlock the B36 along with the other weapons, but it was still annoying.
So definitely keep an eye on your experience points and level progress at release.
On a positive note, one can state that I only missed the problem because I was having so much fun with the game. Bugs can be fixed quickly and easily. I wouldn’t deter anyone from buying the game because of this error.
How is the performance? My toaster struggled, but was successful
It’s not often that we praise the performance of a game nowadays, but:
Battlefield 6 runs really well.
I don’t have the latest system, with an aging RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 3700X, but my gaming “toaster” held up well. Even in heated battles, I was able to record 75-85 FPS in WQHD on low settings.
In the test, I even had better performance than the predecessor Battlefield 2042 and am therefore very satisfied. This was mainly because Battlefield 2042 had an issue where it didn’t utilize all the cores of my CPU. Battlefield 6 manages that properly. In the nearly 25 hours in multiplayer, I didn’t experience a single stutter or FPS drop. There were two crashes, but I don’t know how they happened.
Before I come to a conclusion, you can read the impressions of MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz here. Karsten usually covers MMORPGs but also knows a good deal about Battlefield. He has probably spent the most and best time in part 3. His conclusion on the campaign of Battlefield 6, which he has already completed:
Karsten’s impressions of the campaign of Battlefield 6
I am glad that Battlefield has once again received a real campaign with the sixth installment. It delivers in 9 missions and nearly 7 hours of gameplay a solid, sometimes well-staged warm-up for multiplayer.
The settings are certainly chosen for a reason, showcasing atmospheric lighting and particle effects, destructible environments, and various gadgets of the classes very vividly. Or to put it another way: It rumbles and booms, and on the side, you learn how to use drones, control tanks, and effectively eliminate enemy vehicles as infantry.
But don’t expect too much from the campaign at the same time. The Pax could hardly be more generic as antagonists. Your squad throws embarrassing cliché Marines one-liners at one another at every opportunity, and the AI of friends and foes sometimes acts wildly.
That I still had fun lies mainly in the strong gameplay foundation of Battlefield 6:
Many weapons just feel good, the revival while retreating should never disappear from the series, and when tanks collide while helicopters circle overhead and infantry seeks cover, then it’s simply there: that unique Battlefield atmosphere that we hope for in every installment of the series.
A shooter I will play for many hundreds of hours
Reflecting on my time with Battlefield 6 so far, I am convinced that I will be playing this shooter for many hundreds, if not thousands of hours. Especially since Battlefield is a game you can spontaneously jump into after a long break.
Battlefield 6 is simply something I can start playing and have fun.
I am not a fan of the campaign. It’s pretty, but the storytelling doesn’t captivate me; the embarrassing lines of the soldiers break immersion and feel inappropriate, and I find the German voice acting truly terribly done. But I play Battlefield primarily for the multiplayer, which I enjoyed a lot.
I am also really looking forward to what the community will create with the Portal mode. I really see potential for endless content and look forward to custom modes like “Sniper vs. Runner,” which were a great change of pace from the regular gameplay loop in GTA Online.
