New game by former Blizzard developers invites for testing on Steam, looks like Diablo as a Battle Royale

Ody 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

At Bonfire Studios, a team of former Blizzard developers, a new action game is in the works. It looks like Diablo as a Battle Royale and you can already sign up for a first test on Steam.

What kind of game is this? It is called Arkheron and is an action game that will be released for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is being developed by Bonfire Studios, the new studio of former WoW lead developer Rob Pardo.

Arkheron features a dark fantasy setting and an isometric camera, like fans of Blizzard are accustomed to in Diablo. However, the gameplay focuses on a mix of hack and slash, MMO, MOBA, and Battle Royale.

Here is the announcement trailer for Arkheron:

Autoplay

Fast PvP Action with a Flexible Ability System

What is the game about? In Arkheron, 15 teams of 3 players each fight their way to the top of a mysterious tower. There are no character classes: abilities depend solely on the weapons and other equipment you find in the tower.

Some items are part of a set that grants you a new form when completed. This also comes with an additional ability, but you cannot change your equipment after this transformation.

When the time for ascension comes, so-called “beacons” are activated on the map. There are several of these – but not enough to elevate all teams to the next level. If two teams meet at a beacon, you must fight for it.

The developers state that the battles are designed to deliver fast action and reward teamwork: coordinating with your teammates and aligning your respective builds can determine victory or defeat in a match.

More about the gameplay will be revealed by the developers in another video on YouTube.

Developers Invite for a Test on the Weekend

What was that about the test? From September 19 to 21, 2025, the developers will host a playtest. You can sign up for this via Steam as well as bonfire.firstlook.gg. The European servers will be available at the following times:

Friday, September 19: 5 PM to 10 PM
Saturday, September 20: 11 AM to 10 PM
Sunday, September 21: 11 AM to 10 PM

Surprise hit on Steam announces innovation that players are eagerly waiting for: “We have heard your prayers”

Nico Scheibel 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On Steam, several surprise hits were released in 2025 alone. One of these is clearly a horror game that has gathered many fans. Now, the developers have announced a new feature that many players have been waiting for.

What game is it about? The cooperative horror game R.E.P.O. was released on February 26, 2025, on Steam. In a short time, the game managed to host a remarkable number of over 270,000 players. Even today, more than 20,000 users play R.E.P.O. daily (steamdb.info).

With up to 5 friends, you dive into a spooky environment and must collect various valuable items for your creator as little robots. Should you die in this task, your robot’s head falls to the ground and must be picked up by the other players to allow you to be resurrected.

What is this new feature? The developers announced on Steam and in a YouTube video that they have “heard the players’ prayers”. With the new monster update planned for October 30, 2025, a feature will be added that allows you to keep playing even after your demise, even though your body is missing.

Inside the head is a backup battery that charges up. Once it has gathered enough energy, you can move as a head and even communicate with your friends through the microphone. However, this movement is somewhat restricted, as the head only grows small stumpy legs. You may also execute a jump to scare off potential monsters or your allies.

In the video, you can see the trailer for R.E.P.O.:

What do the players say about the new feature? On YouTube, there are some comments where fans celebrate the planned feature. noobgod4272 is already looking forward to yelling at his friends if they walk blindly past his head: “Finally, I can yell at my friends to get my head when it’s DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM and they overlook it.”

Another user praises the developers and writes how much he likes that the heads of dead players can still help the living, for example, by distracting the many monsters. Some players also appreciate that they can continue talking with their friends even if their head falls off, albeit only with a slightly distorted robotic voice.

Former WoW lead presents 3 more classes for his MMORPG Ghost: a songbird, mage-tank and storm dancer

Karsten Scholz 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After Dreamblade, the developers of the MMORPG “Ghost” have now introduced the next 3 classes. Additionally, there were new details about the plans for the game’s combat system.

Which classes are planned for Ghost? In the video series “Word on the Street” on YouTube, former WoW developers Greg Street and Brian Holinka discussed the current status of their MMORPG project “Ghost”. They introduced 3 new classes:

Songbird is a mix of bard and holy priest, who is supposed to heal and support the group with its songs.
Tempest is the dancer that complements the Songbird, who relies on the powers of the elements and can unleash destructive storms with his dance steps. Greg Street also draws a comparison to the X-Men.
Sphinx Guard is a magic-wielding tank that uses a large tower shield to protect his companions.

The 3 archetypes join the already introduced Dreamblade in June 2025, who charges into battle with a large two-handed sword and is reminiscent of a knight of the round table. 30 different classes are planned for the launch of “Ghost”.

The developers emphasize that there will be no gender lock, even though the artworks currently show only female Tempest. Additionally, each class is supposed to fulfill a clear role, but still offer more than just healing, buffing, or ranged damage.

Ghost: Neuer Trailer stellt Klasse der Dreamblade vor

Autoplay

Combat is of the highest priority

What else do the developers reveal? Alongside the video, a new article by Greg Street has gone live on the official website of Fantastic Pixel Castle, focusing on combat in “Ghost”. The studio head explains that he fell in love with WoW (and later worked for Blizzard) mainly because the combat felt so good.

This is exactly what he wants people to say about their own MMORPG later, which is why there is a high priority on designing the combat experience. At the same time, he explains that his experiences with Age of Empires, WoW, and League of Legends have shown one thing:

Fights only feel good when everything clicks together in the end. Reaching this point is very difficult, especially because fights often feel bad up until that point. So for a long time, you don’t know if you’re on the right track. Therefore, you should only take occasional risks and innovations.

What does this mean for Ghost? The developers want to offer a mix of innovations and proven design standards for the combat system.

Movement: Characters should feel very mobile with sliding and gliding maneuvers. They should also be able to nimbly jump over smaller obstacles. However, there will not be a climbing function. This should feel noticeably different from many other MMORPGs.
Target selection: They rely on the tried-and-true tab-targeting system known from WoW and Final Fantasy XIV, so healers can have full control over their heals.
Abilities: Generally, they also like the systems from WoW and FFXIV here, but want to keep the number of skills low enough so that the MMORPG can also be played well with a controller. Nevertheless, the rotations should offer a certain depth.
Holy Trinity: The Holy Trinity of tanks, healers, and damage dealers is established.
Unavoidable damage: It should not be possible to constantly avoid all damage from enemies through evasive maneuvers. Equipment upgrades should play a role in survival and performance.

If you want to take a first look at the current prototype of “Ghost”, you can do so! However, keep in mind that this is a very early version with placeholders. The actual assets still need to be developed: Former WoW lead shows his new MMORPG after only 4 months of development

German Twitch streamer starts livestreaming in September 2024, can finally go offline: “Wild unique experience”

Johanna 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The German Twitch streamer Pascal “MrMoregame” Rothkegel was live on Twitch for over a year. Viewers could determine the length of the stream via subscriptions. Now the timer has run out.

Which Twitch streamer is it about? The Twitch streamer MrMoregame has been active on Twitch as a streamer since 2016. He can often be seen with the Twitch streamers around PietSmiet and is also one of the members of the charity event Friendly Fire.

On September 3, 2024, at 6 PM, MrMoregame started a Subathon that would last over 1 year.

What is a Subathon? The word “Subathon” consists of the words “sub/subscription” and “marathon.” A Subathon on Twitch thus refers to a type of marathon with the completed subscriptions with that particular streamer. The Twitch stream is extended by a certain period for each subscription that is completed in the stream.

In addition to the time through completed subs, viewers could also extend the stream through donations. With one sub, the Twitch stream could be extended between 8 and 32 minutes; with donations of up to 1,000 euros, the stream could be extended by up to 100 hours. A detailed list of the rules was posted by MrMoregame on X.

The special thing: MrMoregame set no limit for the timer. The time gathered through donations and subs had to be streamed.

Start video

These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google

MrMoregame is live on Twitch for 379 days

What did MrMoregame do in his Subathon? During the livestream, MrMoregame entertained his viewers with various content: games were played, and videos were reacted to, among other things.

If you look at the statistics on SullyGnome for the last 365 days, you can see which three games were played the most:

World of Warcraft with 915 hours
Minecraft with 538 hours
Hunt: Showdown with 338 hours

With channel points, the community could fill a lucky wheel that brought additional time as well as special activities during the streams. When MrMoregame was sleeping, documentaries or old YouTube videos of him were shown.

In January 2025, MrMoregame had to pause his Subathon after 137 days for a few days. The reason was poor internet and the fact that he was feeling mentally unwell. There were also small breaks in between due to illness or events that MrMoregame attended. However, the timer was continuously worked on by him.

On September 3, 2025, exactly one year after the start, the Twitch streamer announced on X that the timer could still be increased until 6 PM. After that, the collected time would be streamed and the Subathon would end.

What did MrMoregame say at the end? On September 17, 2025, 379 days after the start, MrMoregame’s Subathon ended. He said: “I hope my depression doesn’t kick in completely due to the ‘silence’ afterwards. Wild once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

A player of Pokémon GO infiltrates the raid of his selfish “friend”, grabs the legendary shiny, and then ends the friendship – this is how it is

Caroline Fuller 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After a player hopelessly waits for a “friend” in Pokémon GO, he finally gets the perfect opportunity to find justice – and luck is completely on his side.

What is the player reporting about? The player and Reddit user keepz2015 shows on Reddit a rather valuable catch in Pokémon GO, a Shiny Latios. However, what makes this Pokémon even more special is the background of how he got the Shiny.

Through a remote raid pass, he joined the raid of an in-game “friend” (the quotation marks were chosen by the player himself) who refuses to send or open the last gift.

Players do this so that they can use a Lucky Egg before becoming “best friends” to maximize the experience points earned, which Coping_Alternative also explains in the comments on Reddit. They often wait so long to get enough XP for a level-up at the right moment, purely for their own advantage.

As the supposed “friend” has already reached level 50, the current maximum level, it is very likely that he wants to keep the player waiting with the other gifts until the update arrives, which will allow players to level up to 80. However, the player is not interested in this at all and does not want to be seen as a means to an end.

Here you can see the trailer for the season “Stories of Transformation” in Pokémon GO:

Select a MMO video…

“Dude, that’s evil… I love it” – The community thinks he did everything right

How did the player, in his own words, “find justice”? Keepz2015 was able to catch a Shiny Latios in the raid of the selfish friend, but that’s not all. When another player points out that he should just unfriend him now (numbrronefan via Reddit), keepz2015 reports that he has already done that and thus denies him all advantages he could have gained through him.

This way, he also forfeits his own XP, which he would have presumably received for the new level update on October 15, 2025, but it was absolutely worth it to him.

What does the community say about this? The community celebrates the player’s actions. They understand the player’s frustration and find the decision absolutely justified, even a bit funny.

“Niiiice. On top of the win, an accomplishment,” writes MousePuzzleheaded333 (via Reddit), and Dark_lord_601 is also excited: “Dude, that’s evil… I love it” (via Reddit).

Other players wonder why he didn’t unfriend him earlier because he is “definitely saving him for the level 80 grind” (Good-Improvement9181 via Reddit), but the player still had hope: “I get that, but I’m level 49. Help someone with a lower level!” (keepz2015 via Reddit).

And indeed, another player recognized through keepz2015’s experience how to deal with such friends. Alphawolfdog reports of a friend who has been leaving him hanging with the last gift for almost 2 years, even though he plays daily (via Reddit). After keepz2015’s last advice (“Oh man, DELETE”), he was also able to part with this burden.

The selfish friend of the player, as can be seen from the experiences of other players, is not an isolated case. There are probably enough people who will also wait until October 15 to get as many XP as possible and as quickly as possible. A sensible method, but please coordinate with these friends, especially if you know them in real life.

Players had hoped that Baldur’s Gate 3 was a wake-up call for developers – a game director now says: It worked

Cortyn 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Has Baldur’s Gate 3 truly changed the gaming industry? At least a little, because developers have found new courage.

When Baldur’s Gate 3 was released a few years ago, it was immediately clear that it was not just the game of the year but likely one of the best games of all time. Baldur’s Gate 3 was so different from the prevailing genres at that time. It was not a battle royale, no hack & slash, and not focused on short, quick action. It is a vast, extremely complex role-playing game that represents all facets of good and evil and has deep RPG systems that are often missing in many modern games.

The hope of the player community and many developers was that Baldur’s Gate 3 would show the world (and especially the funders): Look, such complex RPG elements can be successful.
Now we know: It partly worked.

Start video

Autoplay

What was said? In an interview with Gamesradar, Game Director Brandon Adler of Outer Worlds 2 discussed how Baldur’s Gate 3 had an influence on the current gaming landscape. Until then, RPG elements had been somewhat in decline. While there have always been skill systems like talent trees or similar, really deep RPG elements, like those known from CRPGs, had become rather rare. Adler said:

In our first game, one of our slogans was “An RPG with RPG elements,” because for a very long time, when we presented the original Outer Worlds to publishers, one would have thought it would be a no-brainer, right? Obsidian makes a new RPG – I mean, come on! You just know that people would be interested.

And while they were making all these games with “RPG elements” and much more role-playing, there was still this anxiety. Now, with released things like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Outer Worlds, I believe people are more open to that again. It feels as if we had to prove ourselves anew in a certain way.

I love seeing that. But again: Baldur’s Gate 3? Seeing the success gives us confidence that people really, really want such games and that we are on the right track. It’s good to bring these things back to the forefront.

What does this mean for the future of games? Although it will likely take the next few years to truly show how much impact Baldur’s Gate 3 had on the gaming industry, it is nice to hear that at least some developers are already affected by the positive effects, even if it’s just additional motivation that they can bring to their work.

Not only publishers but also players are more open to it

It should not be forgotten that Baldur’s Gate 3 has not only prompted a rethink among some publishers but also directly involves the players. There are numerous comments and reports on Reddit, social media, or the reviews of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam that the RPG has managed to excite them for a genre that they had previously avoided.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has therefore not only convinced role-playing veterans but has also opened up a whole new player base and turned them into RPG fans. There are recurring reports of players stating that they have played the mega RPG with their colleagues – even if that can sometimes lead to too much frustration.

One of the best weapons in Borderlands 4 is not even legendary, but can still take down bosses with one shot

Niko Hernes 19. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Borderlands 4 offers many, really a lot of weapons. Players mostly look for legendary items. Currently, a purple shotgun is one of the best weapons in the game because it can defeat bosses easily with just one shot.

Which weapon are we talking about? Already in the first week after release, players and content creators are searching for the best classes, builds, and items in Borderlands 4. This quickly leads to legendary weapons, which, although they drop rarely, can often be farmed from specific bosses.

But one should also not forget the other rarities. One of the strongest weapons in the game is currently a random purple shotgun from Maliwan, the Quincunx Stellium. With this weapon, even the strongest bosses can be handled easily, but it is not that easy to get the shotgun.

You can find a good farming spot here:

Start video

Boss in Borderlands 4 droppt starken Loot und lässt sich schnell farmen

Autoplay

A fantastic weapon that can handle almost everything

Why is the weapon so good? In a new YouTube video, content creator Moxsy presented the shotgun. In his video, you can see how he shoots the weapon at the ground and several explosions cause the boss to be defeated in a few seconds on the highest Ultimate Vault Hunter rank.

Moxsy explains that the weapon is a pretty good alternative to the legendary Kickball because you probably won’t die using it. The Kickball serves a similar function, but there are so many explosions that you are likely to die from using it.

Important for the Quincunx Stellium is that your weapon has 2 specific rolls. You need the energy disc, which is an alternative fire mode that fires a larger projectile, and you need a Jacobs part on your weapon to ensure that your critical hits create bounces.

You can generate critical hits easily if you have a throwing knife, which is one of the best grenades in Borderlands 4. Here you need the Penetrator augment. If you hit the enemy with it, every damage you inflict will be a critical hit. This is how the sequence in battle looks:

Throw your knife at the enemy
Shoot the energy disc of your weapon at the ground, right in front of the enemy or boss
Then an energy sphere is created that causes countless damage through bounces and further critical hits. Sometimes a single shot is enough for an entire boss.

The optimal character for this is Rafa; he benefits from splash damage and indirect damage from bounces, but you can actually use this attack combination on any character regardless of which class mods you possess.

How strong this is in combat against a boss, you can see in Moxsy’s video:

How to farm the strong shotgun

How do you farm this weapon? Unlike legendary weapons, which can often be dropped by a dedicated boss, you have the problem with this shotgun that it can only drop randomly. Moxsy recommends that you simply farm legendary items that you need for your build while keeping an eye out for the shotgun and the knife. For that, the early boss Splashzone is worthwhile. In summary, to achieve these high damage numbers you need:

A Maliwan shotgun (the rarity is theoretically irrelevant) with weapon parts that give you the energy disc as an alternative fire option, and a Jacobs weapon part that turns your critical hits into bounces.
A throwing knife with the Penetrator augmentation, which transforms all your damage sources into critical hits for a few seconds.

Due to the many random factors, it is not worth solely hunting for these items. Even if you do get the weapons to drop, the rolls must also be right. So just keep an eye out during other activities, and grab the items when you see them.

7 vs. Wild says the Amazon is so dangerous that they adopt a rule from the jungle camp

Cedric Holmeier 19. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The creators of 7 vs. Wild have presented their new rules and the concept of season 5. One rule they have established inevitably reminds fans of the jungle camp.

What does the new concept look like? In 7 vs. Wild Amazonas, the participants are once again dropped as a group just like in season 4. This time, however, the goal is not just to survive in the rainforest, but to complete a kind of breakthrough exercise, as the new video on YouTube reveals. The candidates receive new objectives through dead letterboxes that they must fight their way to.

The setup of the camp will be minimal this season, as the candidates move from one location to the next. The ultimate goal of the mission is to return to civilization. While the new scenario offers a change from previous seasons, the new rules are causing frustration.

Here you can see more about former participant Knossi:

Rules like in the jungle camp

What rules are there? Because the Amazon rainforest is such a dangerous venue for the fifth season, the producers have decided to establish new rules. One of them is already familiar to many from the jungle camp: No one is allowed to be alone.

In season 5 of 7 vs. Wild, participants must always be at least in pairs. They are not allowed to go to the toilet alone, nor walk back and forth alone. The producers emphasize that no one should be alone, even for a moment.

Additionally, the fire must always be kept alive at night to keep wild animals and insects away from the participants of the new season. The campfire must, just like in the jungle camp, always be monitored in shifts by two participants.

How are fans reacting to this? Fans have already seen an episode of the jungle camp, which is why many of them immediately think of the comparison. However, it is not the fact that this rule occurs in the jungle camp that is causing frustration in the YouTube comments. They are more upset that the creators of the show are implementing the exact opposite of what they wanted to see.

Many fans are annoyed that this year they hardly get to see the proper setup of a camp, although 7 vs. Wild started as a bushcraft adventure. In seasons 1 and 2, camp construction had a high priority.

Also, the fact that they are dropping the participants as a group annoys the fans. They would have preferred isolated participants instead of another season centered around group dynamics. Particularly the last season served as proof for some viewers that they would rather not have a group.

Choosing such a harsh scenario with the Amazon rainforest that necessitates new rules, viewers criticized already in the announcement video. For them, not every season needs to top the last one in terms of difficulty.

How were the participants prepared for the scenario? The participants were informed about the location of their journey and necessary vaccinations. Thus, each of them had the opportunity to prepare for the wilderness exposure and learn some skills that could be useful in the Amazon.

The creators of the show emphasize in their video on YouTube that it was left to the participants what they made of the information.

The community was calmed down with the last video: The creators of 7 vs. Wild present a replacement for Fritz Meinecke, which fans find surprisingly good

At first, you could ‘play’ Skyrim on the fridge, now you will soon have to endure advertising in the kitchen

Benedikt Schlotmann 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Skyrim on the fridge was considered a big joke by Bethesda back then. But the advertisement Samsung has just introduced is no joke. So far, the advertisement is only supposed to come to fridges in the USA as a kind of pilot. Later, the advertisement could follow in Europe.

A fridge is present in almost every apartment. But besides Skyrim, there will soon be advertisements in the kitchen as well. At least, that’s what Samsung hopes. The catch is: The fridges that will display advertisements are not budget models.

With the decision to display advertisements on certain fridges, Samsung is likely to receive a mixed reception from many people.

First Skyrim, now advertisements on the fridge

What has Samsung announced? Samsung has confirmed that its Family Hub fridges in the USA will display advertisements following a recent software update. It is not known when the update will come to Europe and thus to Germany. Privacy regulations here are significantly stricter than in the USA.

The new advertisement has been reported by the English-language magazine Dexerto.com. The update for the fridges is part of a pilot program for ‘advertising promotions and curated ads’ on specific ‘Family Hub’ fridge models.

The company added that the advertisements cannot be completely disabled, although users can close individual ads. While it is possible to turn off the internet on the fridges to get rid of the ads, one would also have to forgo smart features of the fridge.

What does this all have to do with Skyrim? Bethesda jokingly announced at E3 back then that in the future, one could also play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on certain fridges. And not only that, they also presented a version for Alexa.

At the E3 back then (2018), one could watch a humorous trailer (via YouTube.com) featuring Keegan-Michael Key. Keegan-Michael Key is a well-known comedian and actor in the USA. With the trailer and the presentation, they responded to the fans’ criticism at that time, who criticized that Bethesda seemed to be re-releasing Skyrim on every platform to sell the game again.

Dandadan announces Season 3 directly and fans are sure that it will be their favorite

Jasmin Beverungen 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The last episode of season 2 of Dandadan aired a few hours ago. Shortly after, the team behind the anime made an announcement that particularly pleases fans.

What is the positive announcement? On the official page, the Dandadan team announced that there will be a green light for a third season. This will even be celebrated with its own image, featuring Okarun, Momo, and the Turbo Grandma as a cat.

Nothing is known about the release date yet. Presumably, it will take several months or even years before we experience the continuation of Dandadan.

It will also summarize what happened in the last episode. And the person who appeared in it will become an important key figure.

Fans believe that Season 3 will be their favorite of Dandadan

Attention: We summarize the content of the next arc of Dandadan here. However, we will not spoil how it will end.

What happens in Season 3? In the last episode, a girl was seen who came from the space monster. In response to Okarun, she kissed him directly. She is Bamora, a being from the Sumerian people. She fled from an invasion of her home planet. Okarun and the others help her fend off the enemies.

Moreover, Momo is struggling with Reiko Kashima, the currently strongest being from Dandadan. She is a narcissistic yokai who places a special value on her appearance. Both the encounter with the yokai and with the aliens are summarized as the Space Globalists arc.

What is the reaction from fans? For many readers of the manga, this arc is considered their favorite. On Reddit, many users are excited about the announcement. They say that Season 3 will be the best of Dandadan. This is because the Space Globalists arc is the best.

Why is this arc so popular?

The battles in this arc take on new dimensions and become even more intense than before. Many new aliens and technologies will also be introduced. With Bamora, there is a new popular character in the lives of the protagonists.

Therefore, fans would understand if the upcoming season needed a bit more time for animation. Between the end of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2, there were only 7 months. It will probably take longer this time before we see new material for Dandadan.

The best new MMORPG 2025 receives the next class, coming soon to Steam

Karsten Scholz 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In a disappointing MMORPG year 2025, Crystal of Atlan is so far the best newcomer to the genre. Those who haven’t tried the action RPG on the already available platforms can soon catch up on Steam.

When is the game coming to Steam? The developers of Crystal of Atlan have announced that the action MMORPG will be released on Steam on October 30, 2025. Before that, starting October 13, there will be a playable demo as part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest. The event runs on Steam until October 20.

Alternatively, you can also play Crystal of Atlan in the final version through the in-house PC launcher, on PlayStation 5, or on your mobile devices. The launch of the Free2Play MMORPG was on May 28, 2025.

Dynamic action like in Devil May Cry

What do I need to know about Crystal of Atlan? The “Magicpunk MMO Action RPG” relies on a colorful anime style, action-packed battles with air combos like in Devil May Cry, and a fast leveling phase that brings you into the endgame after a relatively short time. There, you can expect dungeon and raid challenges as well as PvP arenas.

On PlayStation 5, the current 6,455 ratings average a score of 3.19 out of 5. In the Google Store, Crystal of Atlan earns a 4.6 out of 5 after over 35,000 reviews (with over 1 million downloads).

The differing ratings show again that mobile peculiarities, like limited access to content on platforms like PC and console, are not well received. Nevertheless, Crystal of Atlan managed to earn the best position in our ranking of new MMORPGs from 2025.

What else is happening with the MMORPG? With the latest update, Crystal of Atlan has received the new assassin class, which plunges into battle from the shadows with dual blades. This debut is accompanied by several events that help you prepare the new character for the endgame.

What else has happened with the patch on September 17, you can find out in the official German patch notes on nvsgames.com. On the official website, you can also find a roadmap for the coming months, promising new features like the third class branch for the puppeteer or the coconut spring island as new content.

Players of Dune: Awakening receive a tip after hundreds of hours that could save them a lot of frustration and time

Cedric Holmeier 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Dune: Awakening, a mechanic has frustrated the community since day one. A player now explains how to speed it up significantly.

What kind of mechanic is that? Whenever players of Dune: Awakening want to travel from one area of Arrakis to another, they must play a mini-game. The so-called “Overworld” map of Arrakis opens up, through which fans must fly their spaceship from one location to another.

Instead of simply teleporting like in other games, players in Arrakis must go through the mini-game again and again for each individual visit. While a journey barely takes longer than a minute and the fuel and water indicators are completely irrelevant, the mechanic annoys players because it is not comfortable. A fan has now shared a trick to save time and bypass the frustration.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new update “Chapter 2” of Dune: Awakening:

Using Mouse and Keyboard is Faster

What is this trick? The trick that Reddit user Raumarik presents in his post saves the community a lot of time. Instead of searching for the destination with their spaceship and navigating there with individual clicks, fans should do something different.

He explains that one should use QWASD or Shift and the arrow keys to initially search for the destination one wants to fly to. At that point, one should simply click once with the left mouse button. This way, the aircraft will automatically fly there without further inputs.

To keep an eye on their flyer, the player also recommends pressing the space bar during the flight to recenter the camera on their character. Without another mouse click, one can simply reach the destination without needing to have flown around the map beforehand.

Why is this not known? The Overworld mini-game does not reveal this trick to players. The exact controls are barely explained, and many fans intuitively start clicking around on the map and likely get used to the inefficient playstyle this way.

In the comments on Reddit, it shows that many veterans also did not know the trick after countless hours of gameplay. They have simply flown around the map with the mouse until they discovered their target.

The new method saves unnecessary flight time and also allows players to keep their hands free to check their phones while their character automatically steers towards the target.

Nintendo now even targets a mod for Dark Souls 3 because it threatens its own lawsuit against Palworld

Caroline Fuller 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The lawsuit between Palworld and Nintendo is now dragging another type of developers into the crossfire, but Nintendo believes that the products of these developers are not real games at all.

What do mods have to do with the lawsuit? The lawsuit between Nintendo and Palworld developer Pocketpair, which has been ongoing for a year, is still developing. Nintendo recently filed two patents, which have also been officially granted, including patent number 12.403,397. This pertains to a game mechanic related to summoning a character to fight against others.

The website for video game patent rights Games Fray reports that the strategy of Pocketpair’s defenders aims to invalidate Nintendo’s patent claims based on the prior existence of similar mods.

Patent attorney Kirk Sigmon, who has been dealing with the lawsuit between Palworld and Nintendo for some time, told PC Gamer in September 2024 (via PC Gamer) that already existing works of the described patent claims might mean that the patent has no right to be granted at all. Presented examples could therefore threaten Nintendo’s lawsuit against Palworld.

However, Nintendo has its own approach to nullify this strategy of the defenders, as the company argues that mods do not qualify as suitable examples since they are not real games.

If you can’t decide between Palworld and Pokémon, take a look at Aniimo:

Mods have no place in the lawsuit according to Nintendo

What does Dark Souls 3 have to do with the dispute? Pocketpair wanted to show through the presentation of mods that resemble the mentioned patent claims that Nintendo was granted a patent for ideas that had already been used in the game design of other games. One utilized example is also the mod “Pocket Souls” for Dark Souls 3, which allows the player to capture enemies.

On Nexusmods, the mod is described as follows: “Utilize the power of your enemies to your advantage by capturing them and pitting them against each other. Master Lordran by conquering the thoughts of the creatures that inhabit it.”

How is Nintendo handling this? According to Games Fray, Nintendo argues in two separate statements that mods do not qualify as “real games” and that the examples, including the Dark Souls 3 “Pocket Souls” mod, should therefore not be relevant.

If this argument is accepted by the Tokyo District Court, it could lead to “real” developers of “real” games taking creative property from modders and patenting it themselves (via PC Games).

The ongoing lawsuit seems to find no end. Although Palworld has changed some aspects of the game in the past that would be affected by the granted patents, the defenders are still legally working to challenge Nintendo’s patent claims and render them invalid, while now other games could become an issue for Nintendo: Nintendo files a patent amid the lawsuit with Palworld that could also become a problem for other games

15 MMORPGs to Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Dragon Ball, D&D and Co in the ranking – Who implements the mega franchises best?

Karsten Scholz 19. September 2025 Reading time 36 minutes

Since the invention of the MMORPG genre, developers have repeatedly snatched the big licenses to create an online role-playing game. But which MMORPG has best realized the respective universe? Genre expert Karsten Scholz attempts a ranking.

When World of Warcraft took off like a rocket in 2004 or 2005, the high phase of MMORPGs began. For about a decade, online role-playing games were THE hype genre.

This is underscored not only by the large number of announcements and releases from 2005 to 2014 inclusive. Developers also invested a lot of money during this time to secure strong licenses that could compete with Warcraft.

Also included are the franchises from film and television or other areas like tabletop, which have become indispensable in pop culture. But which MMORPG has best depicted the respective universe? This is exactly what we want to discuss in this article.

We will focus on the major IPs that originated and grew outside of video games. So you won’t find World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls Online, or Final Fantasy XI and XIV here. Instead, you can expect Star Wars, Warhammer, The Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, The Matrix, Star Trek, and other pop culture brands.

What criteria shape the ranking? Our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz evaluates primarily the way in which the respective universe has been implemented in the corresponding game. How well does the MMORPG reflect the lore and perhaps even expand on it? What well-known characters, peoples, and other elements do you encounter? How high is the quality of the dialogues and texts?

It is also important for the ranking that the respective MMORPG is fun or that gameplay, bugs, and other factors do not spoil the enjoyment in the universe. What good is it if a license has been realized in detail, but every fight is annoying?

As many of these factors cannot be clearly quantified, the ranking of course also reflects a lot of personal opinion from our genre expert. So please let us know in the comments if you share the assessments or see certain placements differently.

Rank 15: Drakensang Online

Developer: Bigpoint | Platform: PC | Release Date: August 2011 | Payment Model: Free2Play | Status: Still active

What do I need to know about the license? Behind Drakensang Online lies the license of “The Dark Eye,” perhaps the best-known pen-and-paper role-playing game from Germany. The adventures from Aventurien have excited fans for over 40 years. Today, numerous novels, board games, and video games accompany the various editions.

What do I need to know about the game? Drakensang Online was created in the 2010s under the leadership of Bernd Beyreuther, who had already proven twice with his team from Radon Labs that he could develop great games for the universe of “The Dark Eye” – namely with the role-playing games “The Dark Eye: Drakensang” and “Drakensang: Am Fluss der Zeit.”

The problem: When Radon Labs had to file for bankruptcy and was taken over by Bigpoint, they had the rights to the name Drakensang, but not for the license of “The Dark Eye.” The developers were allowed to use the name for their MMORPG, but they had to come up with a completely new world and their own set of rules.

Although the name promises a lot, Drakensang Online has very little to do with “The Dark Eye.” However, taking a look at the game can still be worthwhile. This month, the MMORPG celebrates its 14th birthday. Additionally, a round of looting and leveling can be quite fun if you like hunting monsters from an isometric perspective (like in Sacred or Diablo). And there are still regularly new content updates: German MMORPG plays like Diablo, has been going strong for 14 years, is now starting a new season

All the Important Details About the Crypto-Raid Weekend with Groudon

Where can I find Crypto-Groudon? During the event, you can challenge Crypto-Groudon in Crypto-Raids. If you successfully defeat it, you will then have the opportunity to catch the monster. A variety of arenas will feature Crypto-Raids with the monster over the weekend.

What bonuses are available during the event? In addition to the chance to obtain Crypto-Groudon as a Shiny for the first time, there will be an additional raid pass available at arenas on both days. To receive this, you must have used your current raid pass. If you then spin the disc at an arena, you will receive an additional one.

How do I defeat Crypto-Groudon? The monster is a very strong attacker. You should therefore have plenty of trainers and strong counter Pokémon on your team before you challenge Groudon. Plan for at least 4 trainers and good, high-level counter Pokémon.

Groudon is a Ground type. Therefore, it has weaknesses to Water, Grass, and Ice type attacks. Focus on Pokémon with attacks of these types to successfully defeat Crypto-Groudon. If possible, bring the best counters against Groudon.

Event Ticket: For €5.49, you can purchase an optional event ticket. Here, you will receive 5 additional raid passes at arenas, 50% more experience points, and double stardust for successful raids. If you purchase the ticket in the Pokémon GO webstore, you will also receive a premium battle pass.

ChatGPT will soon refuse to discuss sensitive topics with Generation Alpha, possibly requiring an ID

Benedict Grothaus 19. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After a critical conversation with a tragic ending, two parents are suing OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. The CEO is now taking consequences and wants to make his AI “safer” – with potential implications for all users.

What topics are involved?

Currently, you can talk to artificial intelligences like ChatGPT about almost any topic.
In one case in the USA, it is said that a chatbot may have encouraged a teenager to take their own life – including instructions.
Another AI is said to have flirted with minors and subsequently incited them to suicide. Both cases led to a lawsuit against the respective company.

This is what ChatGPT wants to change: Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, writes in a blog post that they want to address the issues of safety for teenagers, freedom, and privacy. More and more people are discussing increasingly sensitive topics with artificial intelligences.

Privacy must be improved accordingly, similar to when one discusses their ailments with a doctor or legal issues with a lawyer. New safety features are being introduced. However, they want to step up particularly in the protection of youths. Specifically, it states:

We prioritize safety over privacy and freedom for teenagers; this [AI] is a new and powerful technology, and we believe that minors need significant protection.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI

Topics like suicide should no longer be discussed with minors. In case of an emergency, they even want to directly inform the parents or relevant authorities if there is an immediate danger.

Note: This article deals with critical topics such as suicide. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can contact the telephone counseling service at 116 123 around the clock. The service is free.
You can find further assistance on the homepage of the German Society for Suicide Prevention.

Privacy and safety are always a challenging issue with AI:

In case of doubt, everyone gets the youth version

Adults should continue to enjoy all freedoms. Altman writes: If an author wants help writing about suicide for their book, that should still be possible. The desire for the AI to flirt more should also remain fulfillable.

Only minors should be protected from such things. In a further blog post, it is explained how the detection should work. First and foremost, parents should be able to use a parental control to set how the AI should behave.

Minor users will be directed to a “ChatGPT with age-appropriate guidelines”. Furthermore, they want to implement a detection: Based on user behavior, the AI should determine whether an adult or a minor is chatting.
