The ARPG Last Epoch manages to attract many fans every time a new season starts. Now the developers also want to conquer the PS5.
What kind of game is this? Even though there is a competition between Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 for the throne of the ARPG genre, Last Epoch also plays a role time and again. The Jungle Season “Beneath Ancient Skies” attracted 80,000 players in August 2025, while Path of Exile 2, its predecessor, and Diablo 4 only reached about 12,000 players combined.
Content-wise, Last Epoch offers 5 classes each with 3 specializations and countless skills. Players will not miss out on an extensive skill tree in the ARPG. The crafting system is definitely better than in Path of Exile 2, allowing SOLO players to get good items without trading.
With up to 4 players in a group, adventures can be experienced not just alone, and soon this should also be possible on PS5.
Here you can watch the trailer for the PS5 release:

PS5 Release and Major Expansion
What do the developers have planned? The developers of Last Epoch have announced the release of a PS5 version of their ARPG. While a specific date is not yet known, the game should be playable on the console when the next expansion is released.
Whether there will be crossplay is still unknown. However, it is clear that the developers will release the PS5 version directly with the new expansion Orobyss, and players on the console will not have to miss out on the latest update.
What do the developers want to change with Orobyss? While the developers will reveal the exact details of the update at a later date, in a post on playstation.com they do mention 3 points that the first expansion of the game will definitely include:
New challenges to defeat
New ways to enhance and create your character builds
More loot and new items
It can be expected that the new expansion will also bring a new season, and players can accordingly expect new endgame mechanics and new maps.
Two YouTubers wanted to drive completely autonomously across the USA with a Tesla. But the journey ended after just 100 kilometers. This was because the assistance system ran over an obstacle in the road.
The YouTuber and influencer Justin Demaree and his companion Josh West wanted to try exactly that now. With a livestream, they aimed to show how they could drive from San Diego on the Pacific to Jacksonville on the Atlantic. However, the two did not get far. An accident after 100 kilometers ended their journey.

Accident with object on the road after 100 kilometers
The two influencers were on the road when one of them spotted an object on the street. While they were still discussing the object, the vehicle crashed into it, which later turned out to be a piece of debris.
The accident actually turned out lightly for the two people in the vehicle. However, the vehicle itself was so severely damaged that the drive was over after just 100 kilometers. A stabilizer bar broke off the Tesla, and other parts of the suspension were damaged, the influencers explained in a follow-up video on YouTube.
Of the approximately 3,900 kilometers that were originally supposed to be driven, they managed to cover only 100 kilometers.
Basically, the case shows that autonomous driving is still not completely reliable. This is why it is not yet permitted in many countries: Currently, FSD (Full Self-Driving) is allowed under supervision in the USA, Canada, China, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia, and New Zealand, but it is not yet allowed in Europe.
A regulatory agency has several ongoing investigations against Tesla. This involved the driver assistance system FSD, which caused the accident for the two YouTubers. However, recently Elon Musk has cut positions in the agency. But there is criticism of the cuts from senior Tesla employees: They fear that Tesla’s plans for autonomous driving will be set back: Elon Musk fired the experts for autonomous vehicles: They were the same people who were supposed to regulate Tesla’s cars.

The clone army is crucial in the movies of Star Wars to ensure the downfall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. But why do the clones disappear over time and are replaced by stormtroopers?
The armor of the stormtroopers is one of the iconic images from Star Wars. Yet the clones from the prequels have also achieved well-deserved fame. This raises the question: What happened to the clones after Episode 3, and why does the Emperor henceforth only use stormtroopers?
Stormtroopers, on the other hand, are much more ambiguous. They consist in part of volunteers who are recruited from all over the galaxy. They are predominantly human, making them, at first glance, much more prone to errors than clones.
Nevertheless, there are some good reasons for the Emperor to replace his nearly perfect army.
Start video
Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones – Trailer
Practical Considerations
What are the reasons? Setting aside aesthetic aspects – because yes, both armors look damn cool – there are several advantages that the stormtroopers have over the clones.
The first: Stormtroopers are much cheaper. Creating the clone army was already expensive. Exactly how expensive is not explained in Star Wars. Continuously creating new clones would ultimately cost the Empire a lot of credits. Additionally, they age faster than normal humans, which means quicker resupply would be necessary. Relying on human soldiers is much cheaper.
Recruitment itself is also simpler, as many soldiers volunteer for service. Those who are skeptical of the Empire and its ideology can be convinced to join Palpatine through manipulative tactics and indoctrination. The clones were created with the values of the Republic, which could make them susceptible to rebellious tendencies.
Another advantage: When stormtroopers are deployed in areas they already know after training, they have one more edge over the clones. In combat, they can tactically apply the knowledge they’ve amassed over decades.
Another reason is important for Palpatine: A key moment in the Emperor’s takeover is Order 66. This emergency order instructs the clones to kill all Jedi immediately as they have betrayed the Republic. Palpatine shamelessly exploits this and thus manages to almost annihilate all Jedi. Only a few survived, including a Jedi who appears in Episode 1.
However, there are still 149 other emergency orders, one of which is Order 65. This states that the clones are to remove the Supreme Chancellor from office, if necessary with violence. This also includes the possibility that the clones kill the Chancellor, for instance, if he misuses his power. Although Palpatine is technically no longer Chancellor but Emperor after Episode 3, it cannot be ruled out that Order 65 may still have been triggered in some way.
The clones would then have acted against their supreme leader and attempted to kill him. While it’s questionable whether an army would stand a chance against the overpowering Sith Lord, Palpatine likely does not want to take that risk.
In One Piece, Straw Hat Pirate Luffy must stand up against his enemies. However, 2 of his opponents proved through an action that they are actually good people – just with their own value systems.
Attention, Spoiler: Here you will find information about chapter 1161 of the One Piece manga.
What happened? In chapter 1161 of the One Piece manga, the incident at God Valley is shown. An epic battle ensues, featuring numerous notorious pirates, Marine soldiers, and members of the World Government.
During the fights, Pirate Captain Rocks D. Xebec faces a mutiny. Many of his crew members turn against him, which was already foreseeable.
However, 3 well-known faces stand against the mutiny and band together to defeat the traitors. They are Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin, who later becomes known as Big Mom. Whitebeard’s involvement is not surprising, as he later becomes a pirate with a sense of justice.
Only Kaido and Big Mom’s actions are surprising. After all, they are counted among the villains that Luffy had to face on his path to becoming the Pirate King. Their actions prove that they do feel something like loyalty – and that they are not such bad people who became Pirate Emperors.

Kaido and Big Mom have their own value systems
Why do they have something like morality? The goals of the two pirates are actually noble: Big Mom wants to create a utopia on Totto Land where all races can live together in peace without discrimination.
Kaido also has a commendable goal. He is assembling his own crew to overthrow the World Government and change the world. Therefore, the two pirates have goals that are worth supporting.
Why are they considered evil? However, their methods are anything but just, which is why they are regarded as villains in One Piece:
Kaido is extremely brutal and feeds the SMILE fruits to the people of Wano Kuni. This can lead to more members for his pirate crew. However, he is also willing to accept that some transformations may fail, resulting in people with perpetual smiles.
Big Mom is extremely temperamental and often destroys her own land in her rage. Anyone who cheats the pirate lady or declines her invitation to tea parties either dies or loses a loved one, which speaks to her selfishness.
Thus, there is a reason why they deserve to be beaten by Luffy. However, the event at God Valley shows that there is a good core within both villains.
Crimson Desert is the new RPG from the creators of the popular MMORPG Black Desert. The story trailer now also reveals the exact release date. Fans celebrate the look and hope for the next big title.
When does Crimson Desert come out? After the release of Crimson Desert was postponed from late 2025 to early 2026, a new story trailer now announces the intended release date. Accordingly, the new RPG from Pearl Abyss is set to release on March 19, 2026.
What else does the trailer show? In addition to the release date at the end, the trailer also provides a deeper insight into the game’s story and shows according to the statement direct in-game and gameplay footage captured with the PS5 Pro.
And this seems to resonate well with players, as the trailer makes them eager for more and hopeful that this could be the next big title that they have been waiting for.

“That’s what I need”
What does the community say about the trailer? Both under the trailer on YouTube and in a thread on Reddit, players exchange their impressions and hopes. The trailer is generally well received, and particularly the look and atmosphere of the game seem to strike a chord with many.
However, it is also criticized that the narrator of the trailer does not yet provide a real impression of the story, and that it is rather generic storytelling. Other users have concerns about the game’s performance and therefore hope that Crimson Desert is optimized at launch.
User Strange_Music compares his impressions via Reddit with games that have also excited him in the past: “I hope so much that this game turns out well. A mix of RDR2 [Red Dead Redemption 2], Black Desert, and Dragon’s Dogma is exactly my type of game.” saucysagnus agrees: “That’s what I need”.
User @danielwoltanski1413 shares in the comments on YouTube his opinion that Crimson Desert could also contain the next big hit: “If this game is well optimized and fulfills the promises of all trailers, it could become one of the best open-world action games of the decade.”
A trainer in Pokémon GO has completed an impressive collection. And this is neither his first nor his last of this kind.
In Pokémon GO, there are various goals that a trainer can pursue. While some focus on the battle aspect and strive for ever stronger monsters and teams in raids or the battle league, other players concentrate on the collecting aspect.
So does a trainer who shared pictures of his impressive collection on Reddit. And this is already the second time.
Start video

The perfect Pokédex!
What kind of collection has the trainer completed? The trainer has taken it upon himself to create a complete Living Dex with shiny lucky Pokémon from the Johto region. Living Dex means that he owns all specimens from the Johto region, including all evolutions.
He has, for example, not only a Typhlosion, the final form of the evolutionary line, in his collection, but also a Cyndaquil, a Quilava, and a Typhlosion.
All his monsters are not only shiny but also lucky Pokémon. To obtain lucky Pokémon, you need to be very lucky during a trade. There are also 35 guaranteed lucky trades if you trade Pokémon caught in 2019 or earlier. Additionally, you can receive a lucky Pokémon if you are lucky friends with a trainer.
Completing the entire collection takes quite some time and dedication.
We are embedding the Reddit post with the collection here for you:

Which monsters are missing from the collection? As the trainer states in his post, he possesses Celebi as a shiny, but not as a lucky Pokémon in the collection. This is because Celebi is a mythical creature. These cannot be traded in Pokémon GO. Thus, there is also no way to obtain the creature as a lucky Pokémon.
How many Shundos are in the collection? As the trainer reports, he has not a single Shundo Pokémon in the entire Johto collection. A Shundo is a creature that is both shiny and has the maximum IVs of 15 Attack, 15 Defense, and 15 HP.
What is the trainer doing now? Next, the trainer wants to upgrade all Pokémon from his Johto Dex to best buddy. However, he states that he believes it will take some more time and that he will not finish this before the end of the year.
And also the next Pokédex in this form is already on his agenda: he wants to tackle the Hoenn Dex, the Pokédex of the 3rd generation, next. This would then be the 3rd Pokédex in this form, as he has previously completed the Kanto Pokédex in this manner, as can be seen in another post on Reddit.

Goat Simulator 3 shows the ultimate chaos in goat fur
Goat Simulator 3 is an open-world comedy game where you play as a chaotic goat rampaging through a large game world filled with physics-based absurdities. The game focuses on absurd actions, slapstick humor, and a lot of crazy interactions with the environment. There are numerous missions, mini-games, and challenges, which are mostly deliberately exaggerated and just plain funny. In addition to the single-player mode, Goat Simulator 3 also offers co-op modes so you can cause chaos together with friends or family.
Cocoon is a puzzle adventure by Jeppe Carlsen, the lead gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside. In the game, you control a small creature exploring various worlds, each contained in glowing spheres. These spheres can be carried and nested, creating complex puzzles and challenges. The goal is to unravel the secrets of each world while delving deeper into a surreal, atmospheric environment.
What else should I keep in mind? If you haven’t claimed the games from last month for PS Plus yet, you should hurry. Once the new games are available, the old ones will be turned off. If you want to get the games, you need to have the paid PS Plus subscription for your PS4 or PS5.
ARC Raiders is a new extraction shooter set to release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games) and aims to show that good graphics don’t require an expensive high-end PC.
This shooter is ARC Raiders: The extraction shooter from developer Embark Studios will be released on October 30, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games).
In ARC Raiders, you explore the surface of a world that has been destroyed by mysterious machines in the future. The last remnants of humanity have retreated underground. Occasionally, people venture above to loot vital resources – they are the raiders.
Here you see a trailer for the new extraction shooter:

ARC Raiders surprises with demands on hardware
What are the system requirements of the game? These have now been officially announced by the developers and are surprisingly low:
Players are surprised that a roughly 9-year-old GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is already sufficient to run ARC Raiders. RTX 2070 and RX 5700 XT are also already 7 and 6 years old, respectively. In the recently released Borderlands 4, the two GPUs are listed among the minimum requirements, but for ARC Raiders, they are recommended.
“Runs even on a microwave”
Fans of Borderlands 4 are dissatisfied with the performance: The hardware hunger of the loot shooter has caused dissatisfaction since release. Confrontational comments from Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford don’t help smooth things over.
The system requirements of ARC Raiders are now being used by some players as an excuse to poke fun at the new Borderlands 4.
In a post on X, user Scrappy writes to a tweet from Pitchford, exaggeratedly stating: “Hey Randy, ARC Raiders runs on the same engine as Borderlands 4, but looks ten times better and even runs on a microwave.”
However, the published system requirements do not mean that the game is guaranteed a smooth launch. Additionally, it does not state what graphics settings the recommended hardware applies to, or whether upscaling techniques like DLSS are included.
The new CEO of RuneScape 3 discussed the future of the MMORPG in an interview, explaining why he initially wants to forgo profits to save the MMORPG in the future.
Who is it about? Since March 2025, Jagex, the company behind the RuneScape franchise, has a new CEO, Jon Bellamy. During Gamescom, he was a guest of gaming journalist Christopher Dring from thegamebusiness.com and talked about the future of his MMORPG franchise on YouTube.
The new CEO is not only a long-time veteran of the gaming industry, but he is also a fan and player of RuneScape, which he has been playing as his main game for over 20 years. In the past, he has also worked at Jagex before returning as CEO.
With his new title as CEO of the company, the course for the future is to be set, and it will initially be worse for the company.

RuneScape MMORPG Trailer 2020
The motto is: It has to hurt before it gets better
What does the new CEO plan? With Bellamy as the new CEO of the company, a new course regarding monetization for RuneScape 3 will be set. Those who fear that it will lead to even stronger monetization are mistaken, as Bellamy is planning exactly the opposite.
Instead of continuing to rely on microtransactions like the treasure hunt system, the new CEO wants to reduce the monetization of his game. This is intended to ensure that players enjoy RuneScape 3 for a longer time and return to the MMORPG.
His vision is supported by surveys filled out by former and current players. In the interview, he explains that he was surprised himself. Many players indicate that they like some types of microtransactions and have no problem with them.
At the same time, especially former players stated that the microtransactions had caused them to stop playing RuneScape 3 and they would return if the microtransactions were reduced or removed.
Does fewer microtransactions mean less money? Exactly. The CEO explains in the interview that he is willing to accept a short-term decline in revenue if it means that RuneScape can enjoy more players in the long term.
Thus, the new monetization strategy is to bring back former players and keep new players engaged for longer, which should give the MMORPG a future for 10 or 25 years, the CEO believes in the interview. He also wants to involve players more, similar to what is done in Old School RuneScape.
The revenue for RuneScape 3 and the other titles is expected to be supported by the monthly subscription that applies to all titles and will be compensated by better player numbers.
RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape are among the largest MMORPGs in the genre. The CEO himself aims to make it the second-largest MMORPG franchise in the world within 5 years. According to him, we are not that far from it. This is probably mainly due to the significant stagnation in the genre: The MMORPG genre has not only stagnated for years, it is regressing – and that is annoying

The Liberty 5 from Soundcore are in-ear headphones for around 100 euros. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested the in-ears. Sound and software can convince in the test, while the touch control and fit in the ear are less so.
Soundcore, the music brand of Anker, launched the Liberty 5 in-ears for around 100 euros. The manufacturer emphasizes the good noise cancellation, long battery life, and good call quality.
I bought the in-ears privately on Amazon and used them a lot in everyday life, on train journeys, and wore them in the museum. In most cases, the in-ears were convincing.
Benedikt is a Tech Editor at MeinMMO and has a penchant for peripherals, testing mice, keyboards, and gaming headsets. Gaming mice, in particular, are among his absolute favorites. He enjoys gaming not only on PC but also on his Steam Deck.
Transparency Notice: The model tested here was privately ordered through Amazon.
Benedikt Schlotmann Hardware Editor MeinMMO
Design and Build
Package Contents: The package includes the in-ears themselves, a charging case, ear tips for the in-ears, and a USB-C cable for charging. A power adapter is not included, but most households should already have one.
Processing
The processing: The in-ears along with the case do not differ significantly in processing from other representatives in this area: The case is fully made of plastic, and so are the in-ears themselves.
The black plastic is, however, prone to scratches in everyday use. If you pack your headphones in the same bag as your keychain, you’ll later find ugly deep scratches on the in-ear case. I solved this problem by buying an additional neoprene fabric case from a third-party supplier, where I transport the in-ears along with the case.
Soundcore Liberty 5, view with packaging
Software
There is no software from Soundcore on PC, which I find quite disappointing. However, on mobile, you can use the official Soundcore app. The app is clear and, from my perspective, intuitively designed.
When you connect your in-ears, they are immediately recognized by the app, and you can then set them up further: You can refine the touch function of the ear tips and turn noise cancellation on or off. Software and driver updates also run through the app and worked perfectly for me.
The app on Android for the Soundcore Liberty 5.
Through the software, you can also set an equalizer for your music: Soundcore already offers about 30 preset options out of the box, which are supposed to cater to different tastes. Additionally, you can turn on or off the Dolby Audio feature.
Overall, I am absolutely satisfied with the app, and it meets my needs very well.
Comfort and Noise Cancellation (ANC)
Ergonomics: I have relatively small ears. In everyday life, I therefore used the smallest size of ear tips. With that, the in-ears sit quite well in my ears, but unfortunately not perfectly. My absolute favorite in this area also comes from Soundcore and are the Soundcore Life A2 NC, as they not only fit excellently but could also be twisted in the ear so that they don’t slip. Even during sports, they stayed put.
The Liberty 5 from Soundcore do not sit as securely as the older model: I regularly catch myself pressing the in-ears back into my ears. In wet conditions and strong movement, such as during sports or in the rain, the in-ears also like to slip out, and I have to push them back in. This makes the Liberty 5 significantly less attractive for me in everyday life.
Soundcore Liberty 5, view from above. The in-ears fit snugly in the ear.
How is the noise cancellation? The Liberty 5 offer the ability to reduce or at least dampen loud noises. And it works very well in everyday life: loud noises like the rattling of the streetcar or a loud main road are absolutely no problem for the in-ears from Soundcore. However, they struggle more with loud voices or speech. A crying baby in the museum or an angry mother scolding her two children can be heard very clearly despite ANC.
Overall, I’m still convinced by the noise cancellation. However, the Liberty 5 cannot compete with the excellent ANC of the Sony WF-1000XM4, though they also cost only half as much.
Sound Quality
In terms of sound, the Liberty 5 can offer a lot. Technically, the in-ears support high-resolution AAC and LDAC codecs, as well as Dolby 3D audio. Thanks to the app, you can adjust the sound to your own needs very significantly.
However, what I noticed is: in the default setting, the sound seems surprisingly bass-heavy and not very homogeneous. At least the sound can be easily adjusted through the app. I reduced the bass a bit, and the in-ears already sound more balanced. The strong bass emphasis is still audible. This is great for bass-heavy techno music. Delicate piano music or fine female voices in high tones then sound a bit thin or too quiet.
Dolby 3D audio, on the other hand, seems more like a nice gimmick.
What is not unusual for in-ears: the soundstage describes how well you can spatially position sounds or noises on a virtual stage. With in-ears, this stage is relatively small, and the Liberty 5 cannot compete with proper headphones. This is also due to the small and tight construction of in-ears and is a widespread problem.
Soundcore Liberty 5, frontal view
Battery Life, Microphone, and Connection
Battery Life: The battery life is stated to be 12 hours, with the charging case, the in-ears should even reach 48 hours.
I use the in-ears almost daily in everyday life and usually have to charge the case every 7 to 10 days. That’s really a good value. From my own experience, I know: For the approximately 6.5-hour train ride from Frankfurt (Main) to Vienna (Austria), the battery life is quite sufficient, making it suitable for long journeys. When the in-ears are then in the case at the hotel in the evening, they are fully charged again in the morning.
Moreover, the manufacturer claims that the in-ears have enough energy for 5 hours after just 10 minutes of charging.
How good is the connection? Normally, I connect the in-ears via Bluetooth, and the connection is stable. If I leave the phone on the table and walk into the kitchen, I have at least one thick concrete wall and often two closed doors in between. The connection remains intact.
Soundcore Liberty 5, in a view from the side.
Conclusion: Fair Overall Package with Good ANC and Too Strong Bass
For whom are the Liberty 5 worth it? The Liberty 5 represent a fair overall package of sound and general features for just under 100 euros. The noise cancellation (ANC) can be convincing most of the time, only aggressive individual voices, such as two people loudly arguing about the stroller space on the tram, cannot be filtered out.
In terms of sound, you also get quite a lot, but should use the equalizer, as the sound otherwise seems a bit too bass-heavy. Due to their weak fit, the Liberty 5 are rather less suitable for sports.
Path of Exile 2 is one of the most complex games on the market along with its predecessor, and those arriving in Wraeclast for the first time will be overwhelmed. Our MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos therefore provides you with 5 tips to make your gaming experience easier.
What are these tips? They consist of small tips that can drastically improve your gaming experience – especially if you are new to Path of Exile 2 and find the game initially too complex.
These tips include assistance with the campaign, build crafting, and endgame, and are intended to help you understand the game better without feeling discouraged by your attempts.

Path of Exile 2 shows the teaser for the new season “The Third Edic” and hints at the next story chapter
Tip 1: Take your time with the campaign
When playing Path of Exile 2 for the first time, you should take your time with the campaign. It is not only very well done but also explains important endgame activities, such as expeditions or trials of Sekhema, in the process. Additionally, it offers various optional bosses that allow you to increase your resistances and gain free skill points.
These bosses will be marked on your map depending on the act with a skull and a plus. So don’t rush through the maps trying to complete the campaign as quickly as possible. Take your time, explore every corner, and complete as many optional goals as you can.
You will particularly notice it in the endgame and save a lot of time that you can then put into build crafting. The campaign is always tough and slow at the beginning, but the further you progress, the easier it will become.

A small but important detail drives some fans of World of Warcraft mad. Because their character has a bald head, even though they shouldn’t.
In World of Warcraft, there are now countless ways to customize your character – with housing soon even more. But in everyday life, the most important thing is probably the appearance through the transmog set. But anyone who wants to wear a cool hat or helmet has to give up one thing: hair.
Because most hats and helmets ensure that the chosen hairstyle is hidden, and the character instead has a bald head. Of course, otherwise the hair would “clip through the helmet” – and that would look terrible. That this is still the case after more than 20 years in WoW makes some quite unhappy.

WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What has the community done? In response, Odd_Giraffe6440 created a small graphic that suspiciously resembles blackmail letters made from cut-out newspaper letters. The simple question on it: “Can we finally have hats and hair at the same time, I’m tired of having a bald head.”

Why can’t this be fixed so easily? Players keep pointing out that a “hat and hair” combo can’t be so hard, after all, there are also NPCs in the game that wear it that way. The catch, however, is that for these NPCs, special attention was given to ensure that the corresponding hat or helmet fits the chosen hairstyle.
But this is not the case for player characters. There are (across all races) hundreds of hairstyles, and each individual hat in the game would have to be manually reviewed and revised accordingly. This is an extremely high effort, considering that there are now thousands of different helmets and hats that would then have to be adjusted for hundreds of hairstyles and that would have to be repeated again for all future races and new hairstyles.
As travman064 summarizes in the Reddit post:
Making a hood for Jaina: 1 model, one hairstyle, the cap is part of her model – so the cap does not go over the hair, but the cap and hair are the same object.
Your character is like a Lego figure, with a helmet placed on top. NPCs are Lego figures with helmets painted on.
Each individual helmet would have to be adjusted for each hairstyle in the game to even come close to the look of Sylvanas / Jaina. That would be at least 100 times more work.
The task seems daunting and only grows exponentially over time. Because with new races come new hairstyles, meaning adjustments would again have to be made for all existing helmets and hats. A task that seems so large that it probably isn’t worth the effort.
Should players be given a choice? One wish of the community is for a more pragmatic solution: players should simply have the choice of whether their hair is displayed and then awkwardly sticks out through the helmet or cap. Those who don’t want that could simply reactivate the “bald head” function and everything would be as before.

Monster Hunter Outlanders aims to bring monster hunting to your mobile device. But how will mobile monster hunting work? Now there is new information.
For over 20 years, monster hunters have been traversing various Monster Hunter games to hunt gigantic creatures, upgrade their equipment, and find the best strategies to successfully complete their hunts.
Now this gameplay is set to make its way to smartphones. Unlike the AR game Monster Hunter Now, Monster Hunter Outlanders is not a game where you walk around the neighborhood encountering and battling monsters like in Pokémon GO. Instead, Monster Hunter Outlanders is significantly aligned with the gameplay loop of typical large Monster Hunter games.
Survival game with open world based on Monster Hunter in the announcement trailer
A new hunt on Aesoland – or rather: an “adventure”
The new game places you on the island of Aesoland. You take on the role of an “Adventurer” with whom you explore the various areas of the island – and hunt monsters in the process. There is the “Fated Adventurer”, your main character, who has a certain talent for all aspects of monster hunting, and various other specialized adventurers who focus on specific weapons or skills.
These include:
Midori with a great sword focus
Pepe with the heavy bow gun
Raya with dual blades
Madelyn with the bow
You should be able to unlock various adventurers through gameplay, and new ones will be added over time, said TiMi Studio Group Producer Dong Huang in a press round for the new game.
You will also be accompanied by “Buddies”. These include the familiar Palico cats, as well as new creatures named Rutaco and Trillan. They are associated with different types of adventurers and have, like their partners, unique abilities that set them apart.
What does the hunt look like? Basically quite similar to other Monster Hunter games. You start from a hub where you can customize your equipment. This includes selecting weapons, items, and gear. Crafting is also part of the game.
As for the weapons, at the beginning of the game, only a few weapons from the Monster Hunter games are available, but more will be added. The goal, according to the developers in the press round, is to eventually provide all iconic Monster Hunter weapons in Outlanders.
And the combat itself? It is designed to be somewhat more straightforward on the smartphone than in the games played with a controller. You can use individual buttons to perform specific combat maneuvers. This way, you don’t have to forgo powerful attacks just because you’re playing on a touchscreen. Additionally, there is a new targeting system to precisely aim at specific parts of the monsters.
Alone or together? Both are possible according to the developers. Combat is designed for maneuvers like perfect teamwork so that you can deal significant damage with co-op skills. You can play co-op with up to four players.
What monsters are there? Essentially, the selection of opponents is drawn from the well-known Monster Hunter ecosystem: You can expect many monsters that also appeared in previous games. New are the “Radiant” versions of the monsters: these are new, larger versions of familiar monsters influenced by the island of Aesoland. They are likely to be the toughest opponents in the upcoming game.
When can you play? A closed beta will be starting soon, for which you can sign up. If selected, the game will be testable on iOS or Android. More information will follow. Until then, you can continue to have fun in other Monster Hunter games as usual. For example, in Monster Hunter Wilds – a new update was just introduced.

There is currently no further information regarding upcoming content. Also, it is not known when a major content DLC, if one is planned, might be released.
However, it has usually been the case that Capcom has kept its players entertained with free updates for a year until a major DLC provided new content. During that time, new monsters were always released so that hunters had something new to hunt.
That was all the information regarding a roadmap for Monster Hunter Wilds at the moment. We assume that Capcom may reveal more information in the coming weeks. If that’s the case, we will update our article with new information. Until then, feel free to inform yourselves about Monster Hunter Wilds here: Monster Hunter Wilds: Guide to the Endgame – Goals and what to expect

Electronic Arts presented a new trailer for the campaign of Battlefield 6 at Sony’s State of Play and allowed first testers a glimpse of the single-player gameplay. We looked at the testers’ first impressions and found that surprisingly much of the multiplayer is integrated into the solo mode.
What is the campaign of Battlefield 6 about? At the center of the campaign of Battlefield 6 is a political crisis, as the private military organization Pax Armata aims to destroy NATO.
The players embody the members of the special unit “Dagger 13.” Their mission is to go to war and stop Pax Armata on various fronts.
The campaign trailer for Battlefield 6 released during the State of Play gives a fresh taste of what to expect in single-player:

Class Gameplay and Destruction in Single Player
How is the campaign supposed to play like the multiplayer? The campaign of Battlefield 6 noticeably resembles the multiplayer of the popular shooter in the initial gameplay videos. This is also noted by Pether Bathge from GameStar, who has already played three missions of the single player.
The soldiers you embody and their comrades are not supposed to be jack-of-all-trades; rather, just like in multiplayer, they are divided into the four well-known classes: Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Support. Depending on their class, your squad members can perform various tasks for you. Your Recon marks nearby enemies in your surroundings, for example.
Which class you are currently playing is also expected to change throughout the campaign – sometimes you play as the Assault, sometimes as the Engineer. At times, you patiently repair a friendly tank, other times you crash through a wall with a sledgehammer – destruction will likely not be lacking even in the campaign.
Overall, it seems that the fast and action-packed dynamic of the multiplayer is not completely lost in the campaign, and despite NPC enemies, the typical Battlefield feeling is still present.
In addition to the campaign and the popular multiplayer, Battlefield 6 is also set to receive a Battle Royale. This is already available for selected players to test in the Battlefield Labs.

The popular Erenshor shows on Steam that even computer friends are enough to keep an MMORPG alive. Now there is even the first expansion.
What kind of game is this? Erenshor is an MMORPG without other players. The game offers all the features of a real MMORPG such as lifeskills, dungeons, levels, or boss fights. However, you are not entirely alone as all other players are simulated by the computer.
There are also funny moments, for example when you meet the legendary Leeroy Jenkins. The world only progresses when you are playing. Groups with computer friends are also possible, just like completing quests and challenges together.
Like a real MMORPG, the developers now also have the first expansion available that brings exactly what you want from an addon.
Here you can see the trailer for Erenshor :
Start video
Erenshor: Trailer for the Singleplayer MMORPG on Steam
The first expansion has everything it needs
What does the first addon contain? The first addon of Erenshor named “Call of the Storm” delivers the namesake Stormcaller as a new class. The mixture of archer and lightning wizard introduces bows and arrows as new weapons to the game. The new class is expected to deal a lot of burst damage and is therefore well-suited for solo players. So those who prefer to go without AI friends will find a good option in it.
To make the start easier for returning players, there’s a quick start that allows you to jump directly into the namesake city Erenshor right after the tutorial. However, those who want can still play through the tutorial.
New is also the zone Willowwatch, which has been freshly added. It is located between the areas Bonepits, Underspine, and Fernalla’s Revival Plains. In line with that, there are also 6 additional quests to complete.
What changes in content? With the first expansion, there are significant changes to the groups in the MMORPG. Instead of the previous 4 characters, now up to 5 players (1 human and 4 AI companions) can be in a group.
To better tackle the endgame, as a player from the expansion, you have more control options over your AI companions. Healers and pullers can be better configured to be more useful, and they should now use their healing items more sensibly.
As with a real MMORPG, there is also a major balance patch for items, abilities, and opponents. This affects both the player and the computer friends.
Even though Erenshor relies on real players, the first expansion sounds just like it belongs in a real MMORPG. You can play Call of the Storm from September 26, 2025, and it will be available for free as an update.

A solo developer is excited about the first 30,000 players who dive into his freshly released roguelite on Steam. He wants to celebrate this in his own special way, and he deserves it.
Which developer and which game are being talked about? It is the developer vedinad, who released his roguelike survival game “Megabonk” on Steam on September 18, 2025. Just under a week after the release, the developer announces a special milestone for the community with a post on X.
Megabonk has achieved a remarkable milestone with nearly 30,000 players active in the game at the same time – which the solo dev now wants to celebrate properly: “I am going to eat a hell of a lot of spaghetti tonight.”.
How are players reacting to the milestone? Under the joyful post on X, several players who have already played Megabonk express how happy they are for his success.
“I love your game so much … I may not be very good at it, but every run has funny moments,” writes @ChaoticDragox on X and @BigDixonU also shares how much fun he had in Megabonk: “On the first night I played, I was completely drunk and made it to 70th place on the leaderboard. The next night, I was completely sober and couldn’t get past the first boss. 10/10, I will keep playing, it’s so much fun” (via X).
The developer is quite active on X and also writes on Steam that player feedback is highly welcome. This is now paying off with the positive feedback. Because even as a solo developer, he is capable of providing fun for players, as can be seen from the feedback.
As someone who used to only play AAA titles, games like yours, Vampire Survivors, Death Must Die, Stardew, etc. are the reason I still play. AAA has stumbled, and indie/solo developers are doing a hell of a job.
Here you can see the trailer for Megabonk, which was able to attract 30,000 players simultaneously a week after its release:

The launch trailer of Megabonk on Steam shows not only fast action but also a lot of “Bonk”
What kind of game is Megabonk? Megabonk is an action roguelike with survival elements where you collect loot, level up, upgrade, and fend off hordes of creatures – all with a special twist of skating skeletons or charming foxes. The developer currently provides 20 characters, each with their own unique weapons and abilities.
In the short time since the game was released, Megabonk has received a very positive rating on Steam (93% of the 4,561 user reviews are positive). Players particularly praise the visual style, the movement, the humor, and that the game doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Megabonk just launched this September, a month in which many other games have also been released on Steam that might have slipped under the radar for many players.

These are the best players in TOTW 2: The strongest card in the new Team of the Week 2 is Debinha. She has a rating of 89 and should perform very well in the offensive midfield. Especially due to her excellent dribbling stats as well as her strong passing and pace stats.
Additionally, several more strong cards stand out. Pulisic receives a strong striker upgrade to 86 with a pace of 90 and good shooting and very good dribbling stats. Combined with his 5-star weak foot, this Pulisic Inform card could become a popular weapon in the attack during the early phase of FC 26.
Furthermore, Eder Militao (86), Gravenberch (86), Däbritz (86), and Joao Felix (84) have also received notable TOTW cards.
In an interview, the head of Battlefield 6 spoke about her motivation for the new shooter. She explains that a good Battlefield 6 is a duty for her after the predecessor stumbled so badly.
Who is it about? Rebecka Coutaz is Vice President and General Manager at EA DICE. So she is the one responsible for ensuring everything runs smoothly for Battlefield 6. In an interview with Gamesradar+, she talked about the new shooter and her motivation.
There she also explains what can be learned from the mistakes of Battlefield 2042 and what will be implemented in the new installment.

What does the head think about Battlefield 2042? In the conversation, she explained that her motivation for a good Battlefield 6 also stems from the struggling predecessor Battlefield 2042. The shooter was equipped with many ideas and concepts that players did not like, and they were only improved through many patches from the developers.
Even if over 10,000 players can still be found in Battlefield 2042 on Steam at peak times every day, the title is not considered a success (via SteamDB). Coutaz’s colleague, Design Director Shashank Uchil, explains in the interview that they like to try out ideas and some of them don’t work. One of them was the larger 128-player battles.
In theory, these sound like an action-packed fun filled with explosions, vehicles, and combined-arms tactics. However, in the game, the modes were marked by yawning emptiness and entire areas without enemies. From such mistakes of the predecessor, however, the developers want to learn and create a better Battlefield 6.
What does she think about Battlefield 6? At the latest, the beta of Battlefield 6 has shown: The new installment is popular. But this is not least because the head sees it as her duty to produce a good title. She says in the interview:
[I] felt obligated to develop one of the best Battlefields the world has ever seen. I owe this to the community and the teams. That is my motivation. That’s why I am here.
Despite the positive feedback from the beta, the head emphasizes that they are not yet at the goal and explains this likely with the Swedish proverb for “You shouldn’t praise the day before the evening”:
In Swedish we say: ‘Don’t say hello before you have jumped over the river.’ And I can tell you there is no champagne here yet. We enjoy the moment. We are not yet at the goal. We must not allow ourselves to be arrogant. We remain humble, focused, and grounded.
