With the first trailer and the official reveal of Battlefield 2042, we finally know where the game’s journey is headed. One reason for skepticism for many is that the shooter has also been announced for the last-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One. How significant will the differences to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S be?
That’s what makes it so exciting: Many players are worried due to the announcement for PS4 and Xbox One. They fear that the new Battlefield could be held back technically by the older systems and may not fully utilize the capabilities of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
With the reveal of the latest Battlefield installment, we now know how big the differences will ultimately be. These mainly concern the size of the maps and the number of players.
However, these differences alone could mean that Battlefield 2042 on the old consoles may become a very different shooter. We summarize what is already known about the differences.
Smaller maps and significantly fewer players per match on Xbox One and PS4
That’s why Battlefield 2042 will be a different game on last-gen: During a presentation, the Battlefield developers from DICE confirmed that Battlefield 2042, despite being released for the old console generation, was primarily designed from the outset for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Therefore, up to 128 players will be able to play on the map. However, Xbox One and PS4 must settle for a maximum of up to 64 players. In total, only half the number of players will be available on the maps of Battlefield 2042 on last-gen.
Moreover, there is the biggest difference between the platforms. The maps of Battlefield 2042 are said to be extremely large according to known information. Significantly larger than what is known from previous Battlefield titles. However, this will only be true for the versions for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.
The maps on PS4 and Xbox One will only be a portion of the new maps and will be significantly smaller.
Will the last-gen version be worse because of this? Half the players per match and significantly smaller maps – that doesn’t sound great at first. How this will affect the final game remains to be seen. DICE promises that other features like “Levolution” will also be included.
What does “Levolution” mean? This refers to a feature in Battlefield 2042 that veterans may already know from Battlefield 4. The maps will change due to external events like tornadoes or sandstorms during the match. In Battlefield 2042, however, this is supposed to happen in a much more organic way and feel less scripted.
The impact on the gameplay could be drastic. In the reveal trailer, for example, you can see a whirlwind that tosses players and vehicles around like toys and can change the course of a match.
When does Battlefield 2042 come out? The shooter is set to be released on October 22. Those who purchase the Ultimate Edition can start a week earlier – on October 15. If you are subscribed to the “EA Play” service, you will have access to a 10-hour trial starting from October 15.
Will there be an open beta? There is supposed to be an open beta, but no release date is known yet.
Recently, ARK: Survival Evolved completed the last chapter of its main story with Genesis Part 2. But how is the DLC received by players? MeinMMO summarizes what is rated well and what is less well.
What is ARK Genesis Part 2? The DLC brought with it the last story chapter. If you are not exactly sure what it is all about, you can find the entire story of ARK and Genesis up to now on MeinMMO.
In addition, several extensive innovations and features come into play. This includes the probably largest map of ARK to date. Here is an overview of the contents:
The Eden Zone, a new starting area for beginners with all necessary resources for survival
Tek Trenches, a kind of bridge between biomes and possibly the rings of the world
Rockwell’s Garden and a biome that seems to have merged with Rockwell himself
New creatures like the Astrodelphis, a space dolphin that you can ride
New weapons like net projectiles, the Tek bow with special arrows, and a minigun
Tools, structures, and cosmetics
Here you can find a trailer for the DLC:

The reactions to the DLC have been very mixed on Steam and Reddit. We show you some voices regarding ARK Genesis Part 2.
Voices on ARK Genesis Part 2 – From frustration to enthusiasm, everything is present
This is how the DLC is received on Steam: The DLC was released on June 3rd, so there are only a few reviews on Steam. However, there are some reviews that can provide a picture of the DLC. Here, there are already significant differences.
Overall, there have been around 272 positive reviews since the release on June 3rd.
This stands in contrast to 312 negative ratings (via steampowered.com).
The negative ratings thus outweigh, though only by a small margin.
LemonLoli writes a completely devastating review: “This final chapter serves as a constant reminder that you, the players, do not matter to Wildcard.” The player particularly criticizes that assets were probably reused for the map. The enemy AI and spawn points of hostile dinosaurs were also noted negatively (via steampowered.com).
Steam user Pondo, on the other hand, criticizes that the DLC ignores part of what makes ARK what it is: “The DLC cut out a large part of the content and progression of Ark from the start.” He justifies this by stating that you start with the tech armor directly at the beginning of Genesis Part 2, making any taming of flying reptiles and collecting of resources unnecessary (via steampowered.com).
The positive voices strongly show how widely the opinions of many players differ on these points. User Sloonzo rates the map positively: “Genesis Part 2 has blown me away so far. The map is huge and diverse. The atmosphere and design of the map are beautiful!”
Also, the criticized starting equipment is viewed positively by others. User Xur’s Oiled Cheeks writes about it: “…it really enhances the experience of every player to start in the ‘endgame’ without having to mod or cheat.” (via steampowered.com).
What is the conclusion? Whether you like the DLC depends largely on your own expectations. Those who hope for an experience like in the standard game, where you have to work your way up from scratch, may be disappointed.
But if you want a kind of best-of of ARK, you could be happy with Genesis Part 2 and the last story chapter.
But what do you think of the DLC? Do you like the contents? Discuss with us in the comments.
With Project TL, a new MMORPG by NCSoft is currently in development. New details have now been shared, relating to the costs and the release of the game.
What is Project TL? The new MMORPG is strongly reminiscent of Lost Ark and Diablo. Project TL is intended to be an action game where you fight from an isometric perspective. It is supposed to offer a destructible environment, among other things.
Originally announced as Lineage Eternal and thus as the successor to the successful MMORPG series from Korea. However, due to the poor reviews in the initial tests, the game was completely overhauled. The introduction and the grind were particularly seen as weak.
Since 2018, it has been known as Project TL. However, how exactly it plays is still unknown. Lineage Eternal originally offered the possibility to play multiple heroes and switch between characters using F1 to F4.
What’s new? The Korean site ChosunBiz has gathered new details about the game and also asked NCSoft itself. This concerned trademark rights, public tests, and the platforms on which Project TL is expected to be released (via Chosun Biz).
American market has high priority, first tests are to take place in 2021
What information was shared? According to the Korean site, the developer NCSoft has now secured the trademark rights to TL and TL: Origin in America. It is therefore assumed that TL: Origin will also be the name of the MMORPG.
In general, America is said to be an important market for NCSoft, with the global release of Project TL planned. This also fits with the various platforms of the game. The new MMORPG is supposed to be available for PC, but also for the consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, consoles are not as widespread in Korea as in our region.
Black Knight’s Bastion, one of the few images shared about Project TL so far.
What do we know about beta and release? The article states that the release is important for NCSoft. Therefore, the first tests with users outside the company are to take place in the second half of 2021, as Jang-wook Lee, head of investor relations at NCSoft, revealed:
We plan a large-scale internal test in the second half of this year. Additionally, it’s important for us to confirm the release schedule quickly.
Jang-wook Lee to Chosun Biz.
Whether these tests will take place only in Korea or worldwide is currently unknown.
How much did the new MMORPG cost NCSoft? Project TL has been in development since 2011, making it nearly 10 years in the works. And that time is said to have come at a significant price.
According to Chosun Biz, the MMORPG is said to have already cost over 100 billion won (equivalent to 74.52 million euros).
What do you think of Project TL? Does the MMORPG generally pique your interest, or are you more excited about Lost Ark or Diablo 4?
The start of the E3 2021 is just around the corner and more and more rumors and leaks are spreading. We at MeinMMO summarize all the information related to the topic of MMOs and online games for you.
What is this about? The E3 2021 runs this year from Saturday, June 12 to Tuesday, June 15. Many presentations and teasers for new games are expected.
In this article, we want to focus on the most important information and rumors surrounding MMOs, online, and co-op games. Currently, there are hints about a new Borderlands spin-off and a new shooter from Ubisoft. Two MMORPGs are also the subject of rumors.
However, there is also a possibility that this game is an expansion for Borderlands 3, similar to Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep, but on a larger scale.
A spin-off to Tiny Tina is considered very likely.
How likely is that? A new game in the Borderlands series is considered very likely. Even the renowned gaming journalist Jason Schreier has already confirmed this. The name “Wonderlands” also appears in the data of the teaser website. Thus, the title of the game is almost considered confirmed (via twitter.com).
Diablo Immortal – Finally a release date
What is the rumor? On June 10, the “Summer Game Fest” hosted by Geoff Keighley will take place. Several large publishers and developers will be present, including Blizzard. They currently have three big games in the pipeline:
Diablo Immortal
Overwatch 2
Diablo 4
However, there was little new information about Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 at the in-house BlizzCon event in February 2021. Diablo Immortal, on the other hand, is currently the hottest game and many suspect that a release date will finally be announced.
How likely is that? Diablo Immortal has been in development for three years and many expected a much earlier release of the mobile game. At the end of 2020, the first players were able to try out Diablo Immortal and found the game surprisingly good. A release for 2021 has already been confirmed.
Lost Ark has been playable in Korea for several years and has received many new updates there.
How Lost Ark is doing, why it could come in 2021, and what Amazon has to do with it
How likely is that? Amazon is part of the Summer Games Fest on June 10. There could theoretically be an announcement. So far, there is no concrete information or leaks on this topic.
Since a 2021 release is seen as a fixed date, Amazon must make a big announcement at some point. Many expect it to be at E3.
It is also possible that E3 will only be used for information about New World. However, that game requires less press attention than Lost Ark does.
Forza Horizon 5 – A new installment in the racing game series
What is the rumor? Allegedly, a new Forza Horizon is set to be announced during E3 2021. This information came from Twitter user Klobrille, who regularly shares information regarding Bethesda and Xbox. According to him, Forza Horizon 5 will be the first game announced for Xbox Series X/S within the framework of E3 (via Twitter).
How likely is that? This game, along with Lost Ark, has the biggest question mark. Because so far, Forza games have always been released alternately. Currently, Forza Motorsport 8 is officially on the agenda, and Horizon 5 should come later.
But the rumor of a release in 2021 persists.
Halo Infinite – New information about the shooter from Microsoft
What is the rumor? Halo Infinite was originally scheduled for release as a new title for Xbox Series X/S at the end of 2020. However, the release of the shooter was postponed to fall 2021. Many suspect that Microsoft will share new information about the shooter at E3.
How likely is that? Very likely. Halo Infinite is an important game and was postponed for nearly a year for a reason. During the big event by Microsoft and Bethesda, new information about the shooter is practically mandatory, especially because Halo Infinite is clearly recognizable in the teaser image for the event.
Battlefield 2042 – A new installment in the series
What is the rumor? Battlefield 2042 – originally known as Battlefield 6 – is no longer a rumor, but has already been announced with a trailer. Further information about it is expected on June 13. Additionally, there have been repeated leaks in the last weeks.
Additionally, the game is said to offer crossplay, with the versions of old generations differing from those of next-gen consoles and PCs. The first tests are reportedly set to start in June.
The new trailer for Battlefield 2042 – Watch the 5-minute reveal
How likely is that? Battlefield 2042 is a sure thing. The previous leaks regarding the topic are exciting. The rumors about the setting and the maps sound plausible, even if it was initially assumed that Battlefield 6 might orient itself more towards CoD Warzone.
Warframe may share information about new updates during the PC Gaming Show. This is considered likely.
Bethesda could share new information about The Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, and DOOM. All of this is possible, although the focus is likely to be on Starfield.
Another rumor states that Bethesda will announce a new MMO at E3. However, there are no concrete information or hints about this.
A new Call of Duty will come in 2021, but currently, there is nothing to suggest that it will be announced at E3 2021. Here, Season 4 of Cold War and Warzone is the focus.
Amazon may share new information about New World. However, this is considered rather unlikely, as many details about the new MMO have already been shared.
There will be nothing regarding The Division at E3, as Ubisoft has already confirmed.
What do you think about the lineup of MMOs and online games at E3? What would interest you the most?
The latest Battlefield installment showcased the first trailer through a livestream and is titled: Battlefield 2042. MeinMMO presents the reveal trailer and summarizes the key details regarding the release, content, and pre-ordering.
What kind of game is Battlefield 2042? The first-person shooter focuses on large battles with massive maps, military vehicles, and 128 players in a match. The latest Battlefield is set nearly 20 years into the future and immerses players in a world shaped by the conflict between the superpowers USA and Russia.
Battlefield 2042 will be released on October 22 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S | X, and PC (Epic, EA Origin, and Steam). If you purchase the Ultimate Edition, you can start as early as October 15. We will show you the most important information and details that are now available. If you want to pre-order Battlefield 2042 directly, you can find all the information here.
Battlefield 2042 – Maps, Modes, Player Count, and Old Consoles
When will Battlefield 2042 be released? The official release is on October 22. Buyers of the Ultimate Edition can start a week earlier – on October 15. If you are subscribed to the “EA Play” service, you will have access to a 10-hour trial starting from October 15.
Will there be an open beta? The developers announced a test phase for all interested parties, but there is currently no date for an open beta.
What are the system requirements? So far, there have been no specific details regarding the system requirements for Battlefield 2042 on PC.
How many players can join a match? Battlefield 2042 supports up to 128 players in a match (64vs.64) for the first time. The maps are expected to be correspondingly large and to exceed all previous Battlefield standards.
However, this does not apply to the older consoles PS4 and Xbox One. Due to their weaker performance, there will be smaller maps and a maximum of 64 players will compete for victory (32vs.32).
Are the versions for older consoles any different? Generally speaking, the versions are not supposed to differ. The large maps will be limited to smaller sectors and tailored to matches with 64 players. This has been confirmed by Game Director Daniel Berlin in an interview with colleagues from GameStar (via GameStar).
What is there to know about the maps? There should be a total of 7 maps available at launch, which will reach unprecedented dimensions. The maps are:
Kaleidoscope – Sogdo, South Korea
Manifest – Brani Island, Singapore
Orbital – Kourou, French Guiana
Discarded – Alang, India
Renewal – Eastern Desert, Egypt
Hourglass – Doha, Qatar
Breakaway – Queen Maud Land, Antarctica
In the trailer, you can already get a glimpse of most of the locations.
The city will probably be unrecognizable after a large match
What modes have been announced? Overall, Battlefield 2042 will rely on 3 modes, but only two of them will be available at launch:
Conquest – the classic conquest in BF2042 style
Breakthrough – One team plays as attackers and tries to capture the defenders’ points
The developers have slightly modified Conquest due to the large maps. You will fight for the various sectors on a map and have to capture the areas gradually. The sectors can then no longer be recaptured.
Is the third mode a battle royale? It cannot be said for sure at the moment; nothing is known about the third mode so far. Leaks and rumors ahead of the reveal suggest, however, that Battlefield 2042 is working on a battle royale. This has not been officially confirmed.
Battlefield 2042 does not have a story campaign but offers bot matches
What is the story behind BF 2042? The Earth is experiencing a terrible time in 2042. Humanity is plagued by natural disasters, economic downturns, water scarcity, and an unprecedented refugee crisis. Many nations have given up and no longer exist.
The stateless veterans of the former nations are the soldiers of the players – you take on the role of these “Non-Patriated” (No-Pats). You fight either on the side of the USA or Russia, the last two superpowers engaged in a war over the remaining resources.
Does Battlefield 2042 have an extensive single-player campaign? The latest Battlefield completely forgoes a campaign and focuses on the multiplayer experience.
Can I still play BF2042 solo? The shooter offers extensive possibilities for playing against bots. You can engage in the large modes completely alone as a PvE experience.
Humanity at its lowest – Battlefield 2042 is a war for the homeland
Information on the class system and gameplay mechanics
What does the class system in Battlefield 2042 look like? The familiar classes will return:
Assault Soldier
Engineer
Support
Recon
However, the standard equipment and weapons are no longer restricted to specific classes. The class is rather determined by your “specialist”.
The specialists system is reminiscent of the operator mechanics in Rainbow Six Siege. Each of the specialist soldiers has their own personality and a gadget that provides gameplay advantages. The gadgets then determine the class. The specialist with a grappling hook belongs to the assault soldiers, while the support soldier can carry a pistol with healing ammunition.
At launch, there will be 10 specialists available, and per team, you can select one specialist per class. Over time, more specialists are expected to be added to expand the selection. Some leaked images of several specialists are already circulating:
What special features does the gameplay offer? Battlefield 2042 fully leans into material warfare and provides you with a large selection of vehicles. There are tanks, airplanes, and smaller vehicles. You can summon the vehicles with your specialists and are not reliant on randomly having a tank nearby.
Additionally, each map features a “Levolution.” The maps will change due to external events like tornadoes or sandstorms during matches. This was already present in Battlefield 4 but is said to be more organic and less scripted. The impact on gameplay could be drastic. Tornadoes will throw players and vehicles around like toys, and the fighters on the battlefield must adjust their approach.
Destructible environments are also back. You can inflict extensive damage on the locations, and this likely also applies to a tornado sweeping across the map.
Robo-dogs are set to become a staple of the battles.
What comes after the release
How does Battlefield 2042 plan to stay exciting after release? There will be live service support, and part of that is a battle pass. The pass offers a paid premium path and a free path that you can level up by spending playtime.
The battle pass will not only bring cosmetic items but also gameplay-relevant content such as weapons, equipment, and new specialists. However, all important content should be unlockable through the free path – the premium version only provides extra cosmetics.
To that end, Battlefield 2042 has planned a season system. In the first year, there will be a total of 4 seasons, and each season will offer a new battle pass. The developers have already confirmed that there will be one new specialist per season. So far, there is no information about the number of new maps.

GameStar editor Phil Elsner not only saw the trailer but also interviewed the developers from DICE and can now answer a lot of information about the new maps, weapons, vehicles, and modes of Battlefield 2042.
Pre-order Battlefield 2042 – Price and Availability
Can you pre-order Battlefield 2042?
Yes, and on several platforms. Steam, Epic, Origin, and console stores offer Battlefield 2042 for pre-order.
How much does Battlefield 2042 cost?
In the standard edition, Battlefield 2042 costs €59.99 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. For PS4 and Xbox One, you pay €49.99. However, there are other versions with different prices and bonuses.
What advantages do pre-orderers have?
All pre-orderers will be allowed to test a beta version of the game early.
Battlefield 2042 is again moving more towards modernity and follows in the footsteps of Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. The release is still almost 4 months away, but on June 13, a gameplay trailer with more information about the game will be released. MeinMMO will continue to follow the development of Battlefield 2042 and keep you updated.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
According to a new leak, the upcoming Call Of Duty: Vanguard will not be featured at E3 2021. However, Call Of Duty: Warzone is set to receive a new map that could be significantly larger than Verdansk. MeinMMO summarizes the information for you.
What does the leak say? Until now, it was assumed that the new Call Of Duty (CoD: Vanguard) would be presented at the upcoming E3 2021. Since Activision Blizzard has not announced its own event at E3, it was expected that there would be new information about Call of Duty: Vanguard on Thursday evening at the Summer Game Fest. Allegedly, Call of Duty: Vanguard is coming later this year than previous CoDs, which is why the announcement is also being postponed.
However, a leak claims that this is not the case. The leak suggests that Call Of Duty: Warzone may receive a new map in 2021 alongside the release of Vanguard.
Where does the leak come from? The report comes from the video game site VGC.com. (via videogamechronicle.com). We provide you with an overview of the leak and the potential Warzone map.
When will the new Call Of Duty be presented? This is likely to happen after E3 at a special event. According to previous leaks, the new installment of the series is called “Call Of Duty: Vanguard” and is set during World War II. However, it is also possible it could involve either the Korean or Vietnam War.
New Warzone map set in Call Of Duty 2021
This is the possible new Warzone map: The setting of the new map is expected to take place in the Pacific, fitting the setting of Vanguard.
When is the new map expected to release? The leak suggests that the map is to be released shortly after the new Call Of Duty. This is likely to be at the end of 2021, as indicated by an investors’ conference, where it was expected that a release could be expected in the autumn.
The map is expected to come with new vehicles and a technical upgrade for Call Of Duty: Warzone. However, as it is a leak, you should take the information with caution. We will keep you updated as always.
When can we expect new information? There may be some solid information about the new map during the announcement of the 4th season for CoD: Warzone.
Call Of Duty 2021 – New installment in World War II?
Who is developing the new CoD? According to previous leaks, the installment is being developed by Sledgehammer Games, who are responsible for some Black Ops titles. The studio last developed Call Of Duty: WWII.
What will the game be about? There is currently no official information regarding this. However, there are various rumors indicating several scenarios, with World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam War being the hottest candidates.
The dungeon rating gains more influence in World of Warcraft: Item upgrades are tied to the system that Blizzard adopted from the site Raider.io.
With Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination World of Warcraft is overhauling a few systems that were just introduced. The upgrading of items from dungeons via valor points will be altered. In the future, you will need a specific dungeon rating if you want to upgrade items.
What has changed? Even in Patch 9.1 you can collect valor points through mythic dungeons and callings. These can again be used to upgrade items from “Mythic+” dungeons. But only if you have achieved the corresponding dungeon rating.
What is the dungeon rating? The dungeon rating is a new value that indicates how successful and efficient you are at mastering mythic keystone dungeons. Most people will already know this value from the (controversial) site “Raider.io” (also called “rio”).
This value will become an integral part of World of Warcraft and shows all players what achievements you have already made. This is intended to make group formation easier, as all players can directly see how experienced their teammates are.
Upgrading items – in Patch 9.1 you need a dungeon rating for that.
What are the thresholds? To upgrade loot from “Mythic+” dungeons, you need to achieve the corresponding dungeon rating. This is comparable to the 3 dungeon achievements that were already in Patch 9.0.5. The corresponding thresholds are:
Item level
Required dungeon rating
229
750
233
750
236
1,500
239
1,500
242
2,000
246
2,000
How do you get a high rating? Basically, just like with the Raider.io score. If you complete high-level keystone dungeons within the time limit, you earn a high dungeon rating. To reach the necessary mark of 2,000, you need to successfully finish all dungeons on “Mythic+15” within the time – both during a “tyrannical” week and a “fortified” week.
More about World of Warcraft on MeinMMO can be found here:
The change is generally seen as “logical”, but some players are also dissatisfied. They would rather have the old system back and no built-in RIO value as a requirement.
In fact, the requirements are nearly identical to the currently existing ones in World of Warcraft.
How do you feel about this change to the upgrading system? Is it logical and good to link it to the dungeon rating? Or was it better before?

In the US League of League of Legends, the LCS, mysterious things are happening once again. The current champion Cloud9 has benched the AD Carry Zven and assigned him to the “Academy Team”. Zven is considered the player who has contributed the most to Cloud9. Other professionals are puzzled by this move: Apparently, there were serious internal issues. Cloud9’s poor performance at MSI 2021 may have led to conflicts internally.
This is the situation:
The 23-year-old Dane Jesper “Zven” Svenningen has made a name for himself in Europe six years ago in LoL, playing for Origen and G2 Esports. After that, he spent two years as an expensive EU import at TSM, leading a pretty dull but financially rewarding existence before flourishing as the AD Carry for Cloud9 in recent years, bringing the team to the championship title twice.
After an outstanding Spring Split, but a weak MSI tournament Zven was benched on May 29 and is now playing for Cloud9’s “Academy Team”. Instead of him, Cloud9 has now brought in the Australian “K1ng”. He is also 23 years old, not exactly a long-term investment, and appears to be less skilled than Zven, who is considered the best AD Carry in the USA.
A team member from Cloud9 said Zven is on the bench to “improve the atmosphere in the team.” No one can really understand what has happened. LoL players are now speculating about the reasons.
“Zven probably won’t play this summer anymore”
This fuels speculation: Ina recent talk, the strategy coach of Cloud9 (via youtube): He does not expect Zven to play this summer anymore. Max Waldo does not provide exact reasons but smiles and says: “It’s not about Zven’s work ethic.”
The top laner of Cloud9, Fudge, who is also in the interview, reacts a little surprised. He says he is not so sure that Zven will not play this summer anymore.
North America simply doesn’t care about winning in LoL
Why is he on the bench? Other professionals are currently speculating about this. The excellent jungler Selfmade believes:
What is happening in North America, with benching Zven and Aphari, simply shows that NA doesn’t give a damn about winning. I don’t even care what they did. I just assume they were kicked for being toxic. But they must have had good reasons for it.
Zven probably told his jungler that he played like dog shit – and he was right about that. But you don’t replace someone for that. It’s crazy.
Selfmade
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjAmbUfq8VE
The 21-year-old Pole Selfmade is considered one of the best junglers in Europe.
Did Zven flame his jungler hard?
Many seem to agree with Selfmade’s theory: Zven is considered ambitious and Cloud9’s early exit at MSI 2021 was disappointing for everyone, certainly also for Zven.
The jungler of Cloud9, Blaber (21), did not make a good impression at MSI, as Selfmade also notes: Blaber seems to be clearly the weakest link in Cloud9’s chain.
It was Blaber who said in an interview (via youtube): Cloud9 benched Zven to improve the atmosphere. However, Blaber did not want to reveal much more.
Reddit users suspect that the situation could have escalated internally during or after MSI, and that Zven could have lost control and flamed other team members, possibly Blaber, intensely. It’s hard to explain the situation as to why Cloud9 benches Zven.
The tone in LoL can often be rough. Twitch streamers of the game also demonstrate this:
The start of the E3 2021 is approaching and the gaming scene is looking forward to press conferences and streams showcasing games. Participating are Microsoft, the Nintendo Direct, and also Square Enix. We show you which conferences you are looking forward to the most.
When does E3 start? The official start of E3 2021 is Saturday, June 12. But even before that, events such as the Battlefield 2021 reveal, which players associate with E3, are taking place.
We will show you here what you need to know at the beginning of E3 2021 and analyze which streams you definitely want to watch.
The start times of E3 2021
When does the first E3 stream start? The transmission of the pre-show for E3 2021 kicks off. It begins on Saturday at 19:00. Afterwards, Ubisoft takes over the program.
What happens before? Even before the start of E3 2021, a lot is happening. The new Battlefield for 2021 will be revealed. Additionally, as a contrast to E3, the so-called Summer Game Fest is taking place. Big names like Blizzard, Epic Games, Gearbox, and Capcom are involved in this fest.
Officially, the Summer Game Fest is not part of E3, but it takes place during E3, and generally, users consider all gaming events that occur during E3 as part of E3, whether it is officially so or not.

This is what you wrote about it: In the comments, you told us why you are looking forward to the specific dates.
Zord: “Starfield is currently the only game I am excited about and feel a little hype for (especially after playing a lot of Skyrim and Fallout in recent months), otherwise I expect very little from E3 so far.”
Schwammlgott: “Of course, I will watch the MS&Bethesda conference live as well. But I am also a bit curious about Ubisoft, still hoping for a Splinter Cell or Prince of Persia. I find this Sands of Time remaster less interesting, as it’s the worst part of the trilogy. They should rather release the complete trilogy new. I’m not a big fan of remasters, but this trilogy would be a Day 1 purchase for me.”
Namma: “Nintendo, Microsoft, and Ubisoft. Actually Square Enix, but there are no games there that interest me and there was already a presentation for Dragon Quest?”
Nakazukii: “I am most looking forward to the Battlefield reveal.”
Bienenvogel: “Bethesda will certainly be interesting, just to finally clarify how exclusivity looks. And of course, if they show Starfield (it would be strange if nothing comes) and how it looks. Otherwise, I am not intrigued much beforehand, except maybe Far Cry 6. So I hope for some surprises. But I probably won’t watch anything live, the trailers the next day will be enough for me.”

This afternoon, the global reveal of the new Battlefield 6 was supposed to take place, but a leak spoiled the surprise. The title was already visible in the Russian Origin store – under the name Battlefield 2042 with sharp images and the release date.
What happened? The new Battlefield 2042 has been leaked from the official side! The title was briefly seen in the Russian Origin store, and attentive players immediately absorbed the information, copied it, and released it to the world.

MeinMMO presents you with the most important information that has now become known, along with corresponding links to images and further details.
The most important points at a glance: Battlefield 2042 is the latest title in the major shooter series and is temporarily bidding farewell to the World War setting. It moves a few years into the future, but not so far that the technology is completely detached from our technology.

Battlefield 2042 is expected to be released on October 15 for buyers of the Ultimate Edition
The USA and Russia have been fighting each other for decades and have experienced fighters by their side
There will be 7 massive maps spread across the globe (the leak mentions the city of Seoul and the deserts of Egypt)
Up to 128 players will fight on one map
There will be modifiable weapons, equipment, and vehicles that can be adjusted during combat
Special equipment includes a combat dog robot, a grappling hook, and a wingsuit
There is a class system with specialists and unique skills

The first sharp, official images of Battlefield 2042 are getting players hyped. And although many say they want to stay calm for now, most are excited for the reveal event at 4 PM (via YouTube) and the trailer premiere at 5 PM (via YouTube).
What is the Summer Game Fest all about? Shortly, on June 12, one of the most important video game fairs of the year starts with the E3 2021. But before that, there is another exciting event for gamers that should not be missed if you’re interested in new games or news about existing games – namely the Summer Game Fest.
This gaming event is produced by the well-known host Geoff Keighley and also revolves around news from the video game industry. Similar to the E3, all kinds of new announcements and trailers from renowned game studios will be waiting for fans there.
By the way: Even though many players and fans consider all gaming events taking place at this time as part of the E3 (whether officially or not) – officially, the Summer Game Fest does not belong to the E3 and is a completely separate event.
Why shouldn’t you miss the Summer Game Fest? It’s easy to explain: A lot of developers and publishers have committed to the fest – including big names like Activision, Blizzard, 2K, Amazon Games, Capcom, Epic Games, Sony, Microsoft, Square Enix, and Gearbox. Additionally, it is already known that there will be at least 12 new announcements during the opening, with more than 30 games to be shown.
The kickoff, or the opening show, of the Summer Game Fest starts before E3 2021
All you need to know about the Summer Game Fest
When does the Summer Game Fest take place exactly? On Thursday, June 10, 2021, at 8:00 PM German time, the multi-day event begins with a kickoff, which is a starting show, followed by more events until June 23. The highlight is likely to be the aforementioned opening show on June 10.
So far, there are only speculations and rumors – but they are significant.
What is already known: It is known that the new Season 4 of Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War will celebrate its worldwide premiere there, about which only very little is known so far.
What is speculated: If even a part of the rumors actually comes true, it will be really exciting.
The hottest speculations revolve around the fact that
there could be first details on the new Call of Duty 2022
The trailer for SGF 2021: By the way, you can watch the trailer for the Summer Game Fest here, which already shows some potential candidates for the opening show. It includes scenes from:
Overwatch 2
Dying Light 2
Life is Strange: True Colors
Far Cry 6
Riders Republic
or Kena: Bridge of Spirits

In Season 7, Chapter 2 of Fortnite, you can find cosmic chests on the map. What they are useful for and where to find them, you can learn here.
These are cosmic chests: Aliens are the big thing in Fortnite right now. UFOs are zipping across the map, aliens are part of the new battle pass skins, and crazy laser weapons like the mythical pulse rifle are available too.
But that’s not all. With the alien invasion came a new type of chest. The “cosmic chests” can be found during your matches on the changed map of Season 7. They are accompanied by a light glow and are encased in a locked crystal.
In the boxes, you can find good weapons among other things. However, they are not as easy to open as the normal chests. You can learn how cosmic chests work in our guide.
What cosmic chests bring and how to open them
This is special about cosmic chests: To open a cosmic chest, you need to utilize your entire team. You can find them in duo, trio, or squad modes.
If you have one of the chests in front of you, the crystal will start to highlight weak points. You need to hit these in turns with your harvesting tool. Repeat this several times, and the chest will open after a few hits.
You need to open the chest together by hitting the weak points
This is what you can find in cosmic chests: In the chest, you typically find enough weapons for an entire team. They are suitable when you need several good weapons at once.
They can contain different types of weapons, which are equipped with a high rarity. From shotguns to assault rifles, you can secure good weapons for your team here. Ammunition, potions, and medkits can also be found inside.
Where can I find cosmic chests? Generally, the chests can spawn at different locations on the map, even in open terrain. According to data miner “Hypex”, they primarily appear during the first 3 zones of a match (via Twitter / Hypex).
Players have already found chests in several locations. They appear, for example, in front of the gates of Steamy Stacks, west of Misty Meadows, or in the area of Pleasant Park. However, this can vary from match to match.
How do I find cosmic chests? One advantage of cosmic chests is that they are marked on the HUD when you are near them. For example, if you are currently fighting through a research station, and a cosmic chest appears in the vicinity, you will learn this through a marker. You just need to follow it.
Another way is to grab one of the new UFOs with your team and scour the map with it. If you come close to a cosmic chest, it will be marked. They are also easy to spot from the air when they spawn in open terrain.
Cosmic chests and alien artifacts are not all that you should currently collect in the new season. A new challenge sends you on a search for payphones in Fortnite.

In Pokémon GO today, on June 9, 2021, the Raid Hour with Registeel starts. We show you which counters are worth it against the giant.
What is a Raid Hour? The Raid Hour regularly takes place on Wednesdays in Pokémon GO. During this hour, Level 5 Raids will appear at almost all gyms, where you can encounter legendary Pokémon.
This week, the Raid Hour revolves around the legendary Pokémon Registeel. It returned along with the giants Regice and Regirock as a Raid Boss to kick off the “Season of Discovery” in Pokémon GO. Here you can find all the information you need about Registeel.
Raid Hour with Registeel – Info and Counters
When does it start? The Raid Hour with Registeel starts at 6:00 PM local time. Shortly before, black Raid eggs will appear over the gyms, which will hatch in time for the Raid Hour. By 7:00 PM, it will be over again.
These counters should be used: Registeel has several weaknesses that you can exploit. It belongs to the Steel type and is therefore vulnerable to Fire, Ground, and Fighting.
Pokémon
Moveset
Mega Charizard Y
Fire Spin and Flamethrower
Reshiram
Fire Fang and Overheat
Mega Charizard X
Fire Spin and Flamethrower
Chandalure
Fire Spin and Overheat
Mega Gengar
Bubble and Focus Blast
Houndoom
Fire Fang and Flamethrower
Moltres
Fire Spin and Overheat
Flampivian
Fire Fang and Overheat
Entei
Fire Fang and Overheat
Lucario
Counter and Aura Sphere
How many trainers are needed? Registeel can be defeated with four trainers and the right counters. If you want to be sure, you should look for raids with more trainers active – for example, by using Remote Raid Passes. You can also invite other players to raids, who can then attack using Remote Raid Passes.
Is there a Shiny Registeel? Yes, all three bosses of the Regi Trio can be caught as Shiny. This includes Registeel.
On the far right, you see Registeel as Shiny
Is the raid worth it? The Regi Trio has visited Pokémon GO before. However, if you don’t have any yet and want to complete your Pokédex, you can still go for it. Additionally, shiny hunters can get lucky if they encounter the shiny variant.
In PvP, however, the situation is different. According to data from Gamepress (via Gamepress.gg), Registeel performs quite well in the “Great League” and “Ultra League” and ranks high there.
What’s next? Registeel will continue to be available as a Raid Boss along with its colleagues Regirock and Regice even after the Raid Hour. You can find an overview of all June events 2021 in Pokémon GO here.
Have you already caught all three giants as Shiny or are you using the opportunity to try to catch them? What do you think about Niantic bringing the old monsters back into raids – let us know in the comments.

With the major update 1.6,Genshin Impact brings several new features and events to the game. This includes a new area, a new character, and improvements to housing. MeinMMO presents the 5 biggest highlights of the patch and what to expect.
What it’s about: Update 1.6 celebrates its release today, on June 9th. In addition to numerous events starting now or coming later, there are also extensive changes and actions.
We have selected some of the most important innovations for you and chosen 5 highlights:
The big “Summer! Sun! Adventure!” event
A new area that allows you to explore new islands
Innovations and improvements for the housing system
A free skin for Barbara
Kazuha comes as a new character
We will start with a major event that will run over the next few weeks.
1. Island Event: “Summer! Sun! Adventure!”
What to expect: In this event, you can set off to a group of new islands with the wave rider boat. The event is divided into four acts, each of which unlocks when you complete the previous one.
How long does the event run? The event runs until June 28th, giving you about two and a half weeks to complete the four acts.
In Act 1, you need to destroy monster camps at sea with the boat.
Act 2 lets you complete time challenges.
In the third act, you will face a new, dangerous enemy: “Mangu Kenki,” a powerful samurai.
Act 3 will take you to the islands. You can create new bombs and must use them to crush land-based monster camps.
By completing the acts, you will collect not only primogems and other rewards but also special items that you can exchange at a special event merchant. There, you can obtain a Crown of Wisdom.
2. Explore the new islands in the archipelago, but don’t wait too long
What to expect: You can visit the new islands not only as part of the big event. You can also travel the islands and the surrounding sea outside of the acts and discover new places.
There are many dangers and secrets lurking on the islands, so you definitely should check them out.
What to pay attention to: The islands will only be available until the end of 1.6. You have until the release of the next update to explore them.
When is the next update coming? Usually, there are about 6 weeks between releases. The islands should therefore remain in the game at least until mid-July.
3. New features for the housing system
What’s new? With 1.6, the entire second floor of the mansion “Kettle of Transience” is opened. You can now decorate it as well.
One of the biggest innovations is that you can now invite companions to your Kettle of Transience. If you want, they can even stay in your house.
If you invite companions to your house, your connection to them improves and they continuously earn friendship XP.
If your companions stay in your house for a longer period, they can possibly be induced by specific decorations to give you gifts. The patch notes do not specify what those gifts are.
To allow companions to visit you, you must complete the quest “Chit-Chat in the Kettle.”
Additionally, thanks to an increase in the limit, you can now place more outdoor decorations.
The interaction with the Kettle Spirit has also been optimized.
4. New event “Echoes of the Sound” brings a free skin for Barbara
What kind of skin is this? With Update 1.6, character skins or outfits are introduced to Genshin Impact for the first time. These are cosmetic items that change the appearance of the respective characters.
For now, there are skins for two characters: Barbara and Jean. While Jean’s outfit is only available for real money in the form of creation crystals in the shop, you can unlock Barbara’s skin “Brilliant Performance” for free through an event.
How to get the skin: In the event “Echoes of the Sound,” you must collect echo snails scattered all over the new islands. You will receive not only the skin but also coins, primogems, and other useful rewards.
To obtain the outfit, you need to collect a total of 24 snails. Here’s a reminder: The islands will disappear after June 28th. After that, you will no longer be able to collect the snails and thus obtain the skin.
If you miss the event and do not unlock the skin, you can later purchase the skin for creation crystals in the shop.
He is not only a powerful fighter but will also play an important role in finding the way to Inazuma. This is the next big chapter and a new region in the main story of Genshin Impact.
Here is the official description:
Divine Eye: Anemo
Weapon: Sword
A wandering samurai from Inazuma currently traveling with the Crux of Liyue. A gentle and carefree soul, burdened by many great burdens from the past.
Kaedehara Kazuha can use his elemental skill “Chihayaburu” to lift enemies and objects into the air before performing his unique plunge attack “Midare Ranzan,” which deals Anemo damage and creates a wind tunnel that pulls enemies in.
“Chihayaburu” has a press mode and a hold mode. The former can be performed mid-air, while the latter expands the range of the ability and increases damage.
Kaedehara Kazuha’s special ability, the Kazuha Slash, leaves a field known as the swirling autumn field that deals Anemo damage to enemies at set intervals.
*The character “Chasing Wild Waves in Deep Red Leaves – Kaedehara Kazuha (Anemo)” will appear in later event wishes.
When does his banner come? The banner for Kazuha will presumably appear sometime in mid-June, after the current banner featuring Klee ends.
What is a banner? Banners are the gacha element of Genshin Impact. You draw “prayers” and have to hope to pull the desired character from the prayer (banner).
What else does 1.6 bring? In addition to the highlighted features, as with every update, various weapons come to the game. There are also numerous other improvements and optimizations for the game’s various mechanics.
For those of you who want to know what else is included in the patch, we link here to the complete patch notes from the developers for you: genshin.mihoyo.com.
What do you think of Update 1.6? Does it meet your expectations? What are your personal highlights? Discuss with us in the comments.
Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is launching today. But what is this MMORPG actually about and what sets it apart from its competitors? MeinMMO author Patrick Schulz summarizes the essential features for you.
Why is PSO2NG so interesting? Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is based on the original PSO2 from 2012. The creators have provided the game with a completely new game engine, content, and a story that takes place 1,000 years after the first part.
Furthermore, New Genesis now offers you an open game world, while PSO 2 focuses more on small areas to explore. Unsurprisingly, the Japanese developer SEGA implements the game world in a comic-style anime aesthetic.
In character creation, you can choose between 4 races and 6 classes. The extensive editor allows you to customize your character down to the smallest detail. This results in some extremely absurd characters that can bring a smile to many.
New Genesis offers a fluid action combat system with fast-paced encounters. A good comparison would be DC Universe.
You can even fly and glide to thoroughly explore the vast game world.
You can jump back and forth between the original PSO2 and New Genesis. Thus, you also have access to the old story from the “first part”.
All about the release of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis
When does PSO2 NG launch: Today, the highly anticipated free PSO2:NG is being released. You can already play the approximately 96 GB MMORPG via Steam and on PC, as well as on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
How large is the game file: If you have already installed the PC version of PSO2, you need to download about 35 GB; altogether, it occupies a hefty 103 GB of space on your hard drive. Xbox owners will have to download the game again; after that, it will also take about 100 GB on your Xbox.
What is available besides the Free2Play version? If you like, you can treat yourself to the Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis “Start Dash Rappy Edition” for 48.99 Euros, which allows for an easier start in the game. This includes the following:
Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis
N-Rappy Suit [Fu] (complete)
MTN: Idle – Rappy (Change Motions)
MTN: Glide – Rappy (Change Motions)
STP: Rappy – Love (Stamp)
Premium Set (15 Days) x2
Material Storage Use (15 Days) x2
N-Rare Drop Rate +50% x3
N-EXP Earned +10% x3
Salon Free Pass
N-Half Scape Doll x5
Monotite x30
Dualomite x30
Trinite x30
Photon Chunk x50
Photon Quartz x50
The contents of the special edition can also be purchased in-game through the cash shop.
Typical for New Genesis: the unmistakable anime style
PSO2:NG offers you a dynamic open world and numerous activities
What content does the open world offer? According to developer Sega, the so-called “Open Field” includes a large area where you can discover a lot.
World events regularly take place that you can complete together with other players.
In the Open Field, you can complete quests.
So-called cocoons lead you and your group into instances.
Central City is a large town that functions as a hub. You can find 100 players here per server.
In Central City, you can team up with other players, accept quests, trade, or craft.
To shorten running distances, you can use teleporters or swim to special locations in the Open Field.
YouTuber MadMaster played Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis in beta and is thrilled.
https://youtu.be/pSyXEpWJoAU
What classes are available?
New Genesis offers you 4 races, all of which have access to the 6 different classes:
Hunter – A melee fighter with a sword and quite a lot of health points.
Fighter – A melee fighter with relatively low health points but more damage.
Ranger – A ranged attacker at medium range who can also support teammates.
Gunner – A character armed with pistols who has many movement abilities but fights more at mid-range.
Force – A type of elemental mage.
Techer – A ranged attacker from long range who can support allies with technical toys.
A particular highlight are the subclasses in New Genesis. Here, you can completely freely decide which second class your character may learn. For example, you can go into melee combat with the Fighter, but thanks to the Force subclass you choose, you can alternate with magical attacks from a distance.
Leveling up in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis
How does leveling work? The developers give you a lot of freedom here; you can choose to complete quests, team up with friends in dungeons, or celebrate successes in world events with other players.
New Genesis makes no secret of being a group-focused MMO, but you can also complete the content alone. However, there is no permanent group compulsion.
Reached max level in New Genesis – what now?
What does the endgame look like in PSO2:NG? Unfortunately, the max level in the beta was only level 17. This means that there were unfortunately no clear statements about the endgame.
It seems that over time, better gear will be collected to master dungeons and world events at higher difficulty levels. SEGA is currently keeping very quiet on this topic. Alternatively, you can occupy yourself with the old content of Phantasy Star Online 2 for a change.
YouTuber Entenburg has taken a closer look at Phantasy Star Online 2 and live-streamed for three hours:

Player versus Player content and Phantasy Star Online 2: NG
Is there PvP in New Genesis? The important thing first: There is PvP in the form of a small arena; however, this seems rather inconsequential. PvP is not possible in the Open Field. The game is geared towards group cohesion, and therefore the player-versus-player system probably won’t play a significant role in the future.
Moreover, SEGA seems to listen to the community, which vehemently opposes PvP as a game element.
Andreas Bertis from MeinMMO has evaluated player feedback and reveals how players felt about the beta of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis:
Is there Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis in German? To the dismay of many players, SEGA is repeating its scheme from the predecessor. Because PSO 2 itself was not available in German.
New Genesis is currently only available in English translation for you.
Pay2Win in New Genesis
What items are available in the cash shop of PSO2:NG? Regarding the items you can purchase in the cash shop, there are clear statements. Primarily, the items should be cosmetic and should not provide a direct advantage.
However, there are items that increase XP and drop rates. However, you can also obtain these items with the common in-game currency.
How well does the MMORPG run? During the beta, it became clear that there are still some optimization works to be done. In addition to low frame rates, there were also unpleasant micro stutters that occurred even with reduced details.
Aside from that, the graphics in New Genesis have been extensively revised and make the MMORPG shine in a new light. However, the outdated user interface appears cluttered and has been consistently criticized in the beta. It is riddled with confusing menu arrangements and lacks any recognizable scheme.
The target audience of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis
Who is the game interesting for? The MMORPG is primarily aimed at fans of the original and players who are not confused by the user interface and can find their way around the nested menus.
Furthermore, New Genesis is also aimed at players who crave fast-paced combat, many movement options, and the typical anime style. Grinding is, of course, the order of the day – but it’s fun! – and is a prerequisite for better equipment.
In Destiny 2, players are complaining today, on 09.06., about server issues and error codes, wondering whether unscheduled maintenance is making it impossible to play.
If you want to sweeten your day with a few rounds in the action MMO Destiny 2 during the midday hours of June 9, you should look for an alternative. The Guardians are struggling with massive server problems.
Update 18:00: According to Bungie, the sources of the errors for the increased error codes and crashes have subsided – nothing should stand in the way of a Destiny evening now (via Twitter).
Update 15:30: The problems are reportedly occurring more frequently in the Crucible. Since the Iron Banner event is currently running, this is quite annoying. Bungie is still investigating the situation (via Twitter).
This is the problem now:
Players are complaining that they are being kicked out of the game constantly.
Even those who manage to get past the login screen are sent back to the start menu or the orbit after a short time.
The whole process is garnished with a multitude of error codes – such as CABBAGE, CURRANT, and COCONUT.
We at MeinMMO can confirm that players are currently being kicked back to the orbit from all possible activities:
Error message Cabbage catapults you back into orbit
The Guardians are now wondering, is unscheduled maintenance on the way? Bungie is clarifying – at least a little.
Is there maintenance today in Destiny 2?
What does Bungie say about it? The developer Bungie has commented on the issues:
Recommended editorial content
At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

Read more about our privacy policy.
According to Bungie, the problem seems to exist only for Guardians in Europe. Increased error codes are appearing in Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. One should be prepared for further updates.
What is behind this? We cannot say for sure at this point. A maintenance including server downtime is not scheduled for today. It is, of course, not ruled out that Bungie quickly gets the problems under control. It is also possible that the servers may need emergency maintenance.
Last night, Bungie postponed minor maintenance to today’s Wednesday. This maintenance should only run in the background and not be noticeable (via Twitter). Did this cause problems?
MeinMMO remains on the case for you. If the situation improves or Bungie releases a new statement, we will update this article.
To shorten the waiting time, here are some interesting articles:
Are you also constantly being kicked out of the game by error codes? Do you believe that the server issue will be fixed soon, or do you already see an evening without Destiny 2 ahead of you? Share your opinion with us in the comments.

In Pokémon GO the event “a very slow discovery” is taking place. We will show you how to get Shelder and its evolutions.
What should you do? As with previous events, you can earn a top collector medal for Pokémon GO during “a very slow discovery” as well. To do this, you need to catch or evolve the required Pokémon by June 13, 2021, at 8:00 PM.
You can find the corresponding challenge with an overview of which Pokémon are involved in the Today section of the game. We have looked closely at these and will give you a few tips on how to solve the tasks quickly.
Catch Shelder
First, you should catch a regular Shelder to complete the event challenge. This Pokémon is currently spawning more frequently due to the ongoing event, making it easy to find in the wild.
Alternatively, you can also obtain this Pokémon by completing the current field research tasks “Catch 8 Water-type Pokémon,” “Catch 8 Psychic-type Pokémon,” or “Evolve a Psychic-type Pokémon.”
Evolve to obtain Cloyster
Next on the challenge list in the Today section of Pokémon GO is Cloyster. In the bottom left corner of the image, there is also a red symbol shown. This indicates that you need to evolve a Shelder into a Cloyster.
In this image, you see Cloyster with the evolution symbol.
To evolve it, you need 50 Shelder candies. Catching a Cloyster, for example, after a raid, or evolving a Cloyster to Mega Cloyster does not complete this task. You must evolve Shelder. This is also confirmed by the user Timo in the comments on MeinMMO.
Developing to Walrein with a Deep Stone
In addition to Cloyster, Shelder has another evolution: Walrein. This is also visible in the collector challenge in Pokémon GO. Just like with Cloyster, the image is again marked with a red symbol, indicating that this Pokémon must be evolved to solve the task.
For this evolution, you also need 50 Shelder candies. Additionally, you need a Deep Stone for this. You can obtain this once through the free event box in the shop. Alternatively, you also receive it as a reward for completing the field research task “Evolve a Pokémon.”
Obtain Galarian Shelder
The last Pokémon required for the collector challenge is Galarian Shelder. This was introduced for the first time in Pokémon GO during the current event. Unlike Cloyster and Walrein, this Pokémon must be caught.
Here you can find Galarian Shelder: Unlike regular Shelder, Galarian Shelder cannot currently be caught in the wild in Pokémon GO. To solve your challenge, you can currently battle Galarian Shelder in a 1-Star raid and then catch it.
Another option is to complete the event-related field research tasks “Evolve 3 Shelder” or “Win a raid in under 60 seconds.” For both tasks, you will receive a Galarian Shelder as a reward.

In China, Beisner’s brazen thieves stole graphic cards worth over $7,000 in an internet café. The thieves took advantage of the owner’s goodwill and made off with 6 high-end graphic cards along with the motherboards.
What happened? The ongoing shortage of semiconductors and thus also of expensive graphic cards continues to make headlines. The latest story from this area happened in Hangzhou, China.
There, one of the alleged perpetrators came into an internet café and asked if he could rent the shop for himself and his buddy. They claimed they wanted to play games in peace. Such internet cafés have always been popular in China because they have high-performance PCs that many Chinese people cannot afford privately.
So the owner thought nothing of it and agreed to the request. He didn’t notice that the ID presented to him was likely a forgery.
Thieves distract owner and steal graphic cards along with motherboards
How were the graphic cards stolen? The two alleged thieves later asked the owner for additional garbage bags. The owner still suspected nothing and went to get new garbage bags.
The villains had been waiting for this, because as soon as the owner was busy with the garbage, the thieves unscrewed six gaming PCs, took out the graphic cards along with the motherboards, and fled quickly.
When the owner returned, he only saw the sad, gutted remains of his gaming PCs in the room, with no sign of the boards, the expensive graphic cards, or the two thieves. Since expensive graphic cards are currently in high demand, the thieves are likely to make a good profit from them. Recently, over $15 million worth of graphic cards were sold by scalpers on eBay.
Have the thieves been found? He could only call the police, but since the ID presented was forged and the perpetrators wore face masks due to the pandemic the whole time, they could not be identified. So far, every trace of them seems to be missing.
The damage, according to the owner, is estimated at 50,000 Yuan, which is approximately $7,812. In euros, it amounts to around €6,421.
