Gen Alpha has a favorite game and an expert thinks they will never play anything else

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Roblox is one of the largest platforms in the entire industry. It is mainly associated with children, but an expert does not believe that they will ever switch to other games like GTA or Call of Duty.

What is Roblox? Roblox is a platform that not only allows users to play various games but also to develop them. Entire communities arise to create individual games like Grow a Garden. The player numbers also speak for themselves.

In August 2025, Roblox was able to celebrate a peak of 47.3 million concurrent users.

Roblox is regularly criticized, especially regarding child protection. The Deutschlandfunk has also expressed criticism. A documentary about the dangers of the platform appeared in the ZDF Mediathek earlier this year.

It is mainly associated with younger players. But one expert is confident that they will also stay on the platform as they age.

Other games have a higher entry barrier

What does the expert say about Gen Alpha and Roblox? PCGamer spoke with Emmanuel Rosier, the head of market research at Newzoo, about the preferences of young gamers and what their gameplay on PC looks like. Newzoo is a research company that collects and analyzes data on player behavior and the video game market itself.

Rosier makes two points regarding Gen Alpha (birth years between 2010 and 2024) that PCGamer highlights: Firstly, they do not care about graphics and features like ray tracing. Games like Minecraft, Fortnite, or Roblox do not need that. Rosier says: I don’t think young people who have been playing on phones or tablets since birth care much about visuals.

The other important point: Even though many believe that young players will switch games and platforms as they age, Rosier disagrees. He questions the perspective that children will grow out of Roblox.

On the one hand, you need no powerful PC for platforms and games like Roblox, you just need a browser. Roblox is also free, and other games have a higher barrier:

I would say the chance exists that they will stay on Roblox because all their friends are still on Roblox, and there is this network effect, making it difficult to play Call of Duty alone or convince so many friends to play with you and spend 80 or 70 dollars to have a different experience. And I’m not sure if these teenagers or children will start playing other games once they grow up.

Although Rosier cannot yet prove these statements, according to his data, the average age of players on Roblox is increasing. He believes this is because existing players are aging and staying on the platform.

It will likely take a few more years before the development of users and players on Roblox can be seen and analyzed. Players are increasingly sticking to individual games or platforms. This also has a significant impact on the industry’s transformation, as an expert analyzed recently: Analyst says: Gamers are slowly fading away, the next generation plays very differently

Tornado is the strongest heroine in One Punch Man – This is the woman with green hair

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Tatsumaki is known as Terrible Tornado in the anime of One Punch Man by her nickname. With her green hair, the heroine stands out. MeinMMO explains what makes her so special.

Who is Tornado? Tatsumaki is a member of the Hero Association and is ranked incredibly high there. She is in the S-Class at rank 2, making her the strongest heroine in One Punch Man. Along with other heroes like One Punch Man, she tries to protect humanity from all evils.

The 28-year-old woman stands out with her green hair and arrogant character. She has no respect for other people or monsters, which she could afford due to her high status. Despite Tornado being so small, she should not be underestimated in combat. MeinMMO reveals what makes her so strong.

One-Punch Man: Special Announcement for Season 3 of the Anime

Tornado is the strongest heroine in One Punch Man

Why is she so strong? Tatsumaki is an Esper. These are individuals who develop telepathic or psychokinetic abilities. 

Tornado can use her powers in various ways. Her versatility makes her a strong fighter. She can:

  • Easily lift heavy objects and use them as projectiles
  • Fly
  • Create shields around herself to block enemy attacks
  • Manipulate matter, for example, tearing up the ground
  • Create copies of herself
  • Use telepathy to communicate with others

However, this has the drawback that excessive use of her powers leads to bodily impairment. Tornado has once coughed up blood because she overexerted herself. 

Is there competition? Tatsumaki has a younger sister named Fubuki. However, Fubuki is only ranked 1 in the B-Class. She is nowhere near as talented as her older sister, which is why she will probably never reach Tornado’s level.

In terms of strength, Psykos would still be a serious competitor. She is on the side of the Monster Association and therefore an enemy of Tatsumaki. During the “Monster Association” arc, the two even face each other in an epic battle – for spoiler reasons, we do not want to reveal how this ends. 

But let it be said: Both are in a neck-and-neck race for the title of the strongest woman in One Punch Man.

For those who want to know how the fight turns out

Psykos merges with Orochi and becomes a powerful opponent. But Tatsumaki manages to ultimately defeat her through a trick. This keeps her the strongest woman in One Punch Man!

Destiny 2 keeps suffering defeat after defeat, but at least it takes Borderlands 4 with humor

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

A new installment of the loot shooter series has been released with Borderlands 4, and those who know the game are aware that it hides many different Easter eggs. One of these Easter eggs pokes fun at Destiny 2 and humorously showcases a problem that Guardians are currently facing.

What problems is Destiny 2 facing? Anyone actively playing Destiny 2 will know: the loot shooter is dying, slowly and painfully. The new expansion “On the Edge of Destiny” was solid, but for many, the cinematic presentation of a new saga was not enough to spark interest.

Additionally, the lack of post-content provided little incentive to visit the game. The usual bugs following new patches, as well as supposed shadow nerfs, added to the issues.

With the new season “Ash and Iron,” many fans hoped for a nostalgic journey to the Contaminated Lands, but here too, it is merely an activity that fans can mindlessly grind – additionally, the poor loot is criticized if one does not reach the appropriate light level.

The current state of Destiny 2 is concerning, but at least Borderlands 4 has not forgotten its competitor. There is an Easter egg that you can find on Kairos, and this could bring a smile to one or the other Guardian, at least in the current situation.

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

It started with a ghost… in the toilet?

What does the Easter egg look like? In the Welk fields in the area “The Howling,” there is a side quest called “Caught Up.” You start this when you interact with a talking toilet. If you accept the quest and open the door, a drone greets you, admittedly fed up with the mess.

The drone is relieved to have found us; someone had locked it there, stating: “I will take you where the shit belongs.” As usual, Borderlands does not hold back on its humor.

Borderlands-4-Destiny-2-1
The ghost is happy to see us…
Borderlands-4-Destiny-2-2
…but the target leaves much to be desired…

Unfortunately, the drone’s batteries are dead, and thus it cannot conduct its environmental scans. We, as the vault hunters, are of course there to help. After a short march, we arrive at the goal, which is a large pile of poop.

The drone scans its target and then showers the Guardian vault hunter with loot. The loot we received was poor, as it was only rare items. However, those coming from Destiny should recognize parallels to the loot shooter in this side quest.

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

A fitting Easter egg for Destiny: The Easter egg has depicted Destiny very well, even though Borderlands, as always, exaggerates immensely. Scans are not uncommon in Bungie’s loot shooter, especially when completed on patrols – accordingly, the loot is poor, as it is either non-existent or consists of items with green or blue rarity.

Thus, Borderlands has perfectly depicted Destiny and at least brought a smile to me, a long-time veteran of the loot shooter who has followed Bungie’s game for over 10 years. At least I was able to forget the problems of Destiny 2 for a short moment.

Are you also active as a vault hunter, or are you still playing Destiny 2? We are actively accompanying the release of Borderlands 4 and providing you with the most important news and guides. So if you want to know, for example, which items you can get from the bosses, you should check here: Borderlands 4: All boss drops from the loot table

Twitch streamer “lives the dream” receives donations and food when she moos at the camera

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

A Twitch streamer of a special kind went viral with a clip because she yelled at the camera to get food.

Who is the Twitch streamer? The non-profit organization Alveus Sanctuary was founded by Maya Higa and rescues animals to provide them with a place to live in Texas, USA. Alveus Sanctuary produces content about working with the animals. They have a YouTube and a Twitch channel. On these channels, there is a continuous livestream showcasing some of the animals.

A cow named Winnie (The Moo) has also found a home with the organization. She is a Red Angus and 3 years old. Her appearance in a clip from the Twitch livestream went viral on the internet some time ago.

We present human German Twitch streamers in our video:

“Get food and get paid”

What kind of clip is this? In a stream excerpt, Winnie The Moo can be seen standing at a trough rubbing her head against it. She turns to the camera and makes a loud “Moo!” Shortly thereafter, a viewer of the stream donates bits, activating the mechanism at the trough: Food is dispensed into the trough.

So Winnie successfully managed to “convince” the viewers to give her some treats.

In a post on X, founder Maya Higa clarified: “Just to let everyone know, these are just treats for Winnie and she is fed ABSOLUTELY EVERY DAY on top of that.” So Winnie is not reliant on donations being made in the Twitch stream.

Comments under the clip on X are enthusiastic about Winnie the cow:

  • zeroXhope writes: “The cow Winnie has more real viewer interaction than most human streamers.”
  • aimi_xyz is jealous of Winnie: “Winnie is living the dream: get food and get paid.”
  • stables_money comments: “Imagine checking your Twitch stats and realizing you’ve been beaten by a cow.”

What does it mean for my PC when support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. What does this mean if you haven’t switched yet?

When does support for Windows 10 end? On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for the Windows 10 operating system. Therefore, Windows 11 is currently Microsoft’s latest operating system.

What does the end of Windows 10 mean? First of all, it only means the official support from Microsoft for Windows 10 ends. Your license for Windows 10 remains valid and you can continue to use your computer with Windows 10.

The end of Windows 10 also means that there will be no more free software updates, security updates, or technical support from Microsoft. Computers running Windows 10 will continue to function, but they will be significantly more susceptible to viruses, malware, and other security issues. For this reason, staying on Windows 10 is generally not recommended.

Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Systems with Windows 10 will receive updates only through a paid subscription starting in October

Can you still receive updates? Yes, there is indeed a way to extend Windows 10 support for 1 year. Microsoft refers to this as Extended Security Updates (ESU). The cost is expected to be 61 US Dollars for one year. You will receive security updates until October 13, 2026. However, it is important to note that you will only receive security fixes and no new features or other enhancements. Microsoft states regarding this:

The ESU program allows PCs to continue receiving critical and important security updates through an annual subscription service after support has ended.

Extended Security Updates will be available for private users for an entire year, while companies and public institutions will be able to extend ESU for a maximum of three years.

Can you still upgrade to Windows 11 for free? Yes, both at this current time (September 2025) and at a later time, it should still be possible to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. However, you must meet certain requirements for an upgrade. The system requirements for Windows 11 can be found on MeinMMO explained.

Just before the final release of its successor, you can get one of the best games on Steam cheaper than ever

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

If you haven’t had the chance to fight your way through the underworld of Greek mythology in Hades, now is your best opportunity yet. Just before the final release of Part 2, the original is available on Steam for less than ever before.

What kind of game is it? Hades is an action roguelike from Supergiant Games. It originally launched as an early access title and was officially released on September 17, 2020, on Steam. 

  • The game is now also available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S

Hades is one of the reasons why the roguelike genre has become so popular in recent years. The game has over 262,000 reviews on Steam, with 98% positive. This places it at number 7 on the list of the highest-rated games on Steam (according to steamdb.info)

Start video
A popular roguelike on Steam finally leaves Early Access

Like brother, like sister

What is Hades about? You play as Zagreus, son of Hades, the ruler of the underworld. You seek to escape it, but to do so you must face your own father and the creatures of Hades. After every failed escape attempt, your journey starts over.

Since the world remembers you even after your death, you always feel a sense of progress. Additionally, each new beginning offers an opportunity to try out a different build of weapons and skills.

The success of Hades was so great that a sequel followed: The first sequel that Supergiant Games has ever developed for one of their games. In Hades 2, however, you will not play as Zagreus, but rather his younger sister Melinoe. She also fights her way through the underworld, but this time against the minions of the Titans.

After more than a year in early access, Hades 2 is now nearing its release. On September 25, 2025, the game will get its 1.0 update. Until then, you can save a good amount of money when purchasing the original.

  • On Steam, you can currently get the first Hades for just €6.12 instead of €24.50. This means a saving of 75% off the purchase price – more than any previous discount promotion of the game.

Warlocks in Dungeons & Dragons mainly use one spell, yet they overlook a powerful alternative

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Warlocks in Dungeons & Dragons are particularly known and popular for one spell and therefore focus on spells to support this attack. However, one player insists on how powerful another spell is that makes life difficult for the opponents.

Which spell is being referred to? It is the spell “Bane”, a level 1 spell that can be learned quite early by spellcasting classes. “Bane” is a concentration spell where up to three creatures within the line of sight must make a Charisma saving throw, or else they receive a penalty of 1d4 on their attack rolls and saving throws. In this respect, “Bane” works like “Bless”, only with the opposite effect.

The player LashOut2016 writes on Reddit that the warlock of his group really “saved the ass” of his teammates with Bane and a d4: “As it turned out, [one of our last encounters] should have been a TPK [total party kill] since the gang boss could have killed every party member in one round. But then – Bane.”

Here you see the presentation of the role-playing game “Daggerheart” by Critical Role:

Start video
Critical Role stellen ihr neues, eigenes Rollenspiel vor: Daggerheart

Warlocks can – and should – do more than just deal damage

What does the community say about the spell? Players agree that players who prioritize the success of the group over making themselves stronger should really be recognized: “I appreciate someone who prefers to play as debuff support rather than saying: ‘Look, I do 5 billion DPS'” (LashOut2016 via Reddit).

“Bane” was never really considered a bad spell; it was simply often overlooked since a control spell is not as appealing to many players as one that deals high damage. “Debuffers are not as glamorous as damage dealers, but man, are they helpful,” writes BroasVideo8 (via Reddit).

When is Bane most effective? The spell is best suited for groups that make a lot of attacks and/or spells that require a failed saving throw from the target to be particularly effective. For this reason, they are perfect for crowd control, which often requires these saving throws.

“I always underestimated Bane compared to Bless, but I hadn’t considered its usefulness in a group that mainly attacks through saving throws. Your contribution made me think,” writes crazyrich (via Reddit).

VelvetCowboy also recognizes the value of the spell when the opponents’ saving throws become more reliable: “For spellcasting characters that do not use many concentration spells, it is enough to cast Bane on the 3–6 most important opponents to achieve a lot, especially when reaching higher levels. The opponents’ saving throws become stronger, so it becomes even more important to subtract 1d4 from those throws” (via Reddit).

Warlocks love the cantrip “Eldritch Blast” and therefore often use spells that synergize well with it, such as “Hex” or “Hunger of Hadar”. All of these spells are concentration spells and extremely powerful, yet many players in Dungeons & Dragons as well as Baldur’s Gate 3 refuse to learn them: Players willingly forego powerful spells in Baldur’s Gate 3 because an old mechanic from D&D annoys them

When will the Icon Pack be released? This Friday (September 19, 2025) at 8:00 PM. EA announced this in the Pitch Notes for the Launch Update.

How do you claim the Icon Pack? You do not need to pick it up anywhere. It should appear in your shops for Ultimate Team starting at 8:00 PM, CET. Before that, you will receive a notification in the main menu that the Icon Pack is available.

If you are already in Ultimate Team earlier, you may need to log out and back in briefly.

Are there more bonuses? Yes. Pre-order customers of the Standard and Ultimate Editions also share common pre-order bonuses:

Among the new legends is also a former German national player who has only been retired for a year. With his new Icon in FC 26, he just missed a record: EA FC 26 makes Toni Kroos an Icon – only one German became a legend faster

Deadlock: The best mods and skins and how to install them

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 5 minutes

Deadlock is still in a testing phase, where you need to be invited as a player, but there are already a variety of mods available. These mods mainly include skins or minor adjustments for personal preferences. MeinMMO shows you how to install them and which ones are popular in the community.

How do you install the mods? To install mods for Deadlock, some steps need to be taken in the game’s files. But don’t worry; it’s not rocket science! Here’s how to install the mods:

First, go to your Steam library and find Deadlock. Right-click on the game and go to Properties (1). Once there, navigate to “Installed Files” (2) and open the Deadlock folder via “Browse …” (3).

The first three steps to install mods for Deadlock.
Steps 1 to 3 to install mods for Deadlock

Once you are in the installation directory, click on the folder “game” (4) and then on “citadel” (5). Within “citadel”, you need to create a new folder named “addons”. Make sure that the name is in lowercase (6). Now you can play Hackerman and open the gameinfo.gi with a text editor (7).

Steps 4 to 7 to install mods for Deadlock

In the editor of the file, you need to replace a few lines. About line 40, you need to add some new lines. Simply copy the text in the gray box and replace them completely.

// These are optional language paths. They must be mounted first, which is why they are first in the list.
// *LANGUAGE* will be replaced with the actual language name. If not running a specific language, these paths will not be mounted
Game_Language citadel_*LANGUAGE*

            Mod         citadel
                        Write         citadel
                        Game         citadel/addons
                        Game        citadel
                        Game        core
Before and after the gameinfo.gi
This is how the part to be replaced should look

Now you can easily download the mods and skins via gamebanana.com, unzip them, and drag the vpk file into your created addon folder. Additionally, ensure that the vpk files do not share the same numbers and change them if necessary to a number from 1 to 99.

New Hero Portraits

The next mod is not a skin, but a complete overhaul of all the hero portraits. Its creator, eyehead, has given each of the 32 heroes of Deadlock a new image in the style of the roguelite hit Darkest Dungeon.

Deadlock Idiot

Rowdy and punk goat, Billy, has a special ability called binge drinking. The duration of the ability can be extended through weapon and melee damage. In our overview of all 32 heroes, you will also find the other abilities of Billy. The mod adds the song “American Idiot” by Green Day during the effect. A nice additional challenge where you can beat up many opponents and let the song play through completely.

How does one actually live in a metropolis of the Empire in Warhammer 40,000?

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

Warhammer 40,000 is known for its absurd scales. This applies not only to wars and weapons but also to the sheer mass of people that exist. To fit such a large number of people somewhere in the universe, they must be packed very closely together – in cities of enormous dimensions and dystopian circumstances.

The Imperium of Man is currently the dominant faction in Warhammer 40,000 – surpassed only by the unknown numbers of Tyranids, Necrons, and Orks. Officially, several trillion people live in the galaxy, but the actual number is likely much higher.

Such a large number of people can only be managed through structure and organization. Agricultural worlds supply food, production worlds provide weapons and technologies. Only through the processing of corpses can everyone be fed.

And then there are the Hive Worlds. Hive Worlds are the most densely populated planets in the Imperium, where one or several hive cities arise. These strictly structured cities are a dystopia in themselves.

If you find yourself, for whatever reason, in the 41st or 42nd millennium, the chances are extremely high that you will be born in such a hive… and will die there as well, without ever having seen anything else.

Necromunda is one of the best-known Hive Worlds with dozens of Hives. In the action game Hired Gun, you can explore the world:

Start video
The trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Necromunda – Hired Gun, the shooter in the dark macro world

“Hive Worlds” – The Breeding Grounds of the Imperium

Between 10 and 25% of the worlds in the Imperium are said to be Hive Worlds, where the absolute majority of humans live, with most other worlds also possessing at least one Hive. The worlds are so enormous that they cannot provide for themselves under any circumstances. Food and other goods must come from outside.

In most Hives, there are already several billion people living, most of whom are in poverty. On a Hive World, several of these Hives can exist, sometimes even directly next to each other in so-called “Hive Clusters.”

If a Hive World is ever isolated because travel through the Warp is not possible, there is an immediate great danger for all inhabitants. Famines break out within a very short time.

The most important planet in the Imperium, the Holy Terra, where the Emperor is imprisoned on his golden throne, is itself considered a Hive World, completely covered with cities – which significantly distinguishes Terra from the structure of most Hives.

Of Nobility, Bourgeoisie, and Proletariat

A Hive is generally structured, with certain rules. Necromunda serves as an example, especially because the structure of this world is documented through official rulebooks. A Hive consists of various levels:

  • At the top, where the administration, nobility, and higher-ranking residents live,
  • “Hab Zones,” where the majority of the population resides
  • and the “Underhive,” the area at the bottom of the Hive.

Additionally, there are outer layers with shields and weapons to defend a Hive, as well as special structures within the Hive. Often, planet cores are tapped through a gigantic tube that runs through the Hive to supply it with heat and energy.

The general rule is: The higher you live in the Hive, the higher your status – and vice versa. In the upper areas, there is free electricity, good food, and fresh air, while all of this gets worse the further down you go.

Living, Working, and Dying in a Hive City

The majority of people in a Hive form something like the “middle class” with their own layers from affluent to poor. Higher up, the affluent middle class lives almost like the nobility, with real daylight and access to air and food.

Just below them, the conditions are already tougher: dimmed light, food is repurposed, and often the inhabitants are merely “wage slaves,” whose bodies are a resource for their employers.

Further down in the Hive, there are often factories that at least produce basic goods for a Hive – sometimes even for other worlds of the Imperium. It is not uncommon for surgeries and cybernetic enhancements to be done to optimize a person for their work.

The Eternal Underworld: Underhives

Things are really dire in the Underhives, the “bottom” of a Hive city. Here, there is no daylight, air and food come from several recycling processes, and “rain” usually consists of the toxic wastewater from the layers above.

In the Underhives, there is no real law in most places. Occasionally, members of the Adeptus Arbites enforce imperial law, but most areas are under the control of local gangs. Often, ruins of old buildings and factories shape the “city” landscape.

In the co-op shooter Darktide, you fight your way through an Underhive:

Warhammer 40k darktide screenshot mutation eye
Warhammer 40k Darktide Screenshot City with Enemies
Warhammer 40k darktide screenshot Ruin
Warhammer 40k Darktide Screenshot City 1
warhammer 40k darktide screenshot city rain

Access to energy is limited or nonexistent, and if it is available, it is strictly guarded and regulated by a powerful clan. The wastewater, toxins, and production waste create a toxic swamp beneath the Underhive.

Water and anything else that can squeeze through cracks collect in small lakes, where mutants and other dangerous creatures dwell. Sometimes such creatures are the only food that inhabitants of an Underhive receive.

Consequently, mutations and chaos cults in Underhives are not uncommon, as they are a logical consequence of the circumstances. In this part of the Hives, absolute poverty prevails with a daily struggle for survival. Those who live here likely never see real daylight and will never know anything else but the Underhive.

Even though life in Hives may sound dreadful, most people in the Imperium have likely grown accustomed to such conditions and perceive them as normal. Nevertheless, there are some tasks that surely no one would be happy to have: Life in the Imperium of Warhammer 40,000 is already tough enough, but these 5 jobs nobody really wants

The new patch resolves the biggest issue of Skate., immediately leading to a 10% increase in ratings on Steam

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new skateboard MMO Skate. is getting back on its feet after a rough start. The ratings on Steam and player numbers are rising now.

What did the patch bring? Like during the first attempt to ride a skateboard, Skate. ended up on its backside right at the start and had to settle for 46% positive ratings on Steam.

Nevertheless, many players showed interest in the new skateboard MMO and tried the free game on Steam. However, some of them did not get far. A nasty bug prevented players from completing the first mission and getting into the game properly.

The first patch for Skate. directly brought the important bug fix for the issue and ensured that now everyone can actually skate. The problem that many could not progress right at the start of the game has been resolved (via Steam), comforting the community.

They thanked the developers with positive reviews on Steam, which raised the positive ratings from 45% to 55%.

Here you can see the trailer for Skate.:

Start video
Skate. shows in the early access release trailer how skateboarding will be in 2025

Surge of players despite bad ratings

How is Skate.? The skateboard game was quickly punished by its fans right at release; they criticized the bugs as well as the game world being too focused on skateboarding and the art style being too childish and lacking in rebellion.

In the meantime, the free skateboard game is not only impressing many players on Steam. At its peak on September 18, over 94,000 gamers were playing simultaneously (via SteamDB), the developers announced on X.com that they had welcomed over 2 million players across all platforms on the first day.

What’s next? Skate. is still in Early Access on Steam and is being developed by the developers as a live service game. The next event is Season 1 in October (via Reddit). Players can expect two seasonal events:

  • The Halloween event “Skate-O-Ween”
  • The Thanksgiving event “7-Ply Maple Harvest”

Additionally, a new skate pass is supposed to be introduced, along with further bug fixes and improvements to quality and interface on PC.

Wolverine is almost immortal in the Marvel universe, but to defeat a famous movie monster, he needed 100 years

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 3 minutes

Wolverine had to face many opponents in movies, series, and comics. However, not all of them come from the Marvel universe. In one storyline, he even had to face an iconic alien that made life hell for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Which comic is it about? In the comic series Predator vs. Wolverine by Benjamin Percy and Ken Lashley from 2023, Wolverine encounters the legendary Predator. But it doesn’t stop at just a single fight. The hunt between the two spans over 100 years and shows that there is a great hunter within Wolverine.

On August 26, 2025, Panini published the compilation Predator vs. Wolverine: Eternal Hunt, which summarizes the entire storyline and showcases a significant part of Wolverine’s character.

Predator vs. Wolverine – Eternal Hunt was sent to us by Panini as an editorial review copy.

The best story of Wolverine in film form is probably Logan:

Start video
Logan – Trailer for the Emotional Wolverine Film

The perfect opponent for Wolverine

How do the Predator and Wolverine meet? Anyone who knows a bit about the Predator knows that the alien primarily lives for the hunt. It is important that the prey is worth it and provides a challenge for the Predator.

The first meeting of Wolverine with one took place in an alternate universe around 1900. The X-Men did not exist yet, and Wolverine lived alone in the forest in the area of Alaska. Occasionally, he took on jobs that brought him some money. A businessman asked him to rescue his kidnapped son.

This was no problem for Wolverine, even though the mission was a lie. His employer shoots Logan, but he can simply regenerate. Suddenly, a much more powerful opponent appears. A Yautja (the name of the Predator race) lunges at Wolverine, and a fight begins.

Wolverine seemingly manages to defeat him, but that was just the beginning. The Predator survives, and a hunt begins that will last nearly 100 years.

The cover of the compilation Predator vs. Wolverine – Eternal Hunt

A constant companion of Wolverine

How does the story continue? Throughout the storyline, Wolverine is hunted by the Predator through several of his well-known life stages. When he is with Team X, several Yautja even stand in his way.

Every encounter with Wolverine is a tough battle for both sides, and historical points of the hero can be seen. The X-Men are just a small part that is threatened by the Predator. We see the Weapon X program, but also Wolverine’s adventures in Japan.

In a final confrontation, Wolverine even sacrifices himself for his friends, but even after a rather long night, the Predator cannot kill Wolverine.

In the end, Wolverine is even a bit wistful. He talks about the hunt that has kept him alive all these years. He ends the battle against his nemesis with the words: I felt an inner void. Only after a while did I recognize the cause. I miss him out there. […] I will remember him for the rest of my miserable life.

Like a childhood dream

What does MeinMMO editor and X-Men fan Nikolas Hernes say about Predator vs. Wolverine – Eternal Hunt? When I saw the compilation, I was immediately in. It’s almost like a childhood dream that one imagines while playing with action figures: Wolverine against the Predator? How should that end?

And that’s how the storyline reads too. Like the Predator as a character, the comic itself feels like a product of the 80s. It’s almost all fighting. As an adult fan of Wolverine, you’ll get your money’s worth. There are no complex themes or witty dialogues. The focus of the story is on hunting and being hunted.

The roles of the two switch back and forth, creating a dynamic that can be compared to the best action movies. The Predator fits perfectly into that. The pacing while reading is so good that one wants to read the compilation quickly in one sitting.

It may not come close to the best Wolverine stories, but seeing the well-known mutant as a blunt fighting machine is simply fun, at least if you’re into such stories.

How can I best read Predator vs. Wolverine? The new compilation by Panini is probably the best way to catch up on the series from 2023. Unfortunately, individual issues must be imported in English or read in the digital Kindle version.

Anyone who wants more Predator fights finds further encounters with Marvel heroes like Black Panther or Spider-Man. If you prefer a different kind of X-Men stories, perhaps the new Storm volume is something for you: An underrated heroine in Marvel finally gets the story she deserves

HandOfBlood reacts to his own Twitch clip where he made a child cry, compares it to MontanaBlack

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe reacts to a clip of himself from 5 years ago, where he allegedly makes a child cry during a Let’s Play. HandOfBlood plays an old Settlers game, where he sometimes gets loud, but that doesn’t sit well with a watching parent in the chat.

What clip is this? Five years ago, HandOfBlood tested the game The Settlers – Rise of Cultures in a Twitch stream. He was often frustrated with the game. At one point, he was so annoyed with the building system and a condescending message from the chat that he shouted loudly.

Then a parent spoke up in the chat. The person seemed outraged that HandOfBlood had gotten loud, as now their 3-year-old son was crying. He wrote, according to HandOfBlood: “I’m currently showing Settlers to my 3-year-old son with a funny YouTuber. He is now crying because of your shouting. Think about it.” (Source: Reddit starting at minute 03:28).

I also wouldn’t put my 3-year-old son in front of Monte and say ‘Here, you learn something about women’. I am not known as the calm person.” (Source: Reddit starting at minute 03:38).

HandOfBlood meant that in reference to MontanaBlack’s statement from 2019: The Twitch streamer said that “women are like dogs”.

WoW: Players are fed up with new races – Prefer more of the old

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Allied races in World of Warcraft will soon outnumber “real” races. But this is annoying the players. They demand: More customization options for the old races.

With a new expansion in World of Warcraft, you know what you are getting. There are new areas, new raids, and in the past, there have always been new allied races. In Dragonflight, there were the Dracthyr, in The War Within the Earthen, and with Midnight, the Haranir are coming. However, the community seems to be getting fed up with it and says:

Fewer allied races, but more for the already existing ones, please.

Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features

What kind of discussion is being held? A look at community platforms shows that “allied races” are often a reason for long discussions. What started as a cool feature seems to have turned into a point on a checklist that just has to be fulfilled. A new race is introduced in the story? Then it’s just a matter of time before it appears as an allied race – and naturally joins both Horde and Alliance.

This is annoying some people now, as this “race inflation” seems to also lead to existing races no longer receiving new customizations.

WoW: Void Elves and Lightforged
The Void Elves and Lightforged were well received – after that, interest rapidly declined.

What is the problem with the customizations? When you look at the customizations for the various races – whether allied or “classic” – it becomes quite obvious that some races have much more options than others. For example, female night elves or even Dracthyr have almost countless customizations, while goblins or the nightborne can only choose a handful of options across all categories.

This dissatisfaction with the lack of variety and “more and more new allied races” is particularly evident in the WoW subreddit. For months, posts with hundreds or even thousands of upvotes have been appearing here, complaining about exactly that. Here are some extracts from the comments and opinions:

  • “All the new allied races in the game are starting to feel redundant. Most new races never capture the essence of the old races. The only exception here are the Void Elves, who are basically just Blood Elves for the Alliance, while the nightborne (night elves for the Horde) have a lot fewer options and customizations in direct comparison. […]
    In general, I think the races need a major update, while the new allied races are totally underwhelming from a player’s perspective unless you’re a nice elf with tentacles.”     – Korderon on Reddit
  • “With all due respect to the Earthen and the Haranir, but I’m getting tired of getting weak reskins of existing races that are supposed to serve as a sales argument. They feel so tacked on. And because these races were just introduced into the story 5 minutes ago, I also find it hard to look forward to playing them. […]
    I understand why Blizzard prefers reskins: Because new, unique races like Naga, Ogres, or Tuskarr would mean they have to adjust 20 years’ worth of armor for them. But honestly, I would rather they expand the customizations for the already existing races.”     – Sweet_Spring5811 on Reddit

Borderlands 4: All boss drops from the loot table

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Borderlands 4, you can challenge various bosses you have already defeated again to obtain specific loot that can often be very powerful. You can find out which items you can get from which bosses in our list.

How can you farm bosses? Throughout the campaign, you will encounter various bosses that you can farm. To replay them, you do not need to reset the area as in predecessors, but instead use the machines “Moxxi’s Fat Addition Machines”.

You will unlock this after defeating the first boss “Splashzone”. They cost a small amount of Eridium per use. After the campaign ends, Moxxi will explain the system in more detail.

However, to farm the bosses, you should first know which loot they drop. For this reason, we show you the loot table for each boss with all legendary weapons.

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The Anime for Chainsaw Man will not receive another season for now, but will continue in theaters as Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. The release, the trailer, and all further information about the movie premiere can be found on MeinMMO.

The most important information at a glance:

The last episode of Season 1 of Chainsaw Man aired on December 28, 2022. It has been a few years since we saw anything from the Chainsaw Man. However, the original story in the manga is still ongoing. There would be enough material to adapt it into a film.

Chainsaw Man The Movie Reze Arc: The essential information about the release

Release: When will the movie be in theaters?

The premiere of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has been moved forward by a week. The movie will now be released on October 23, 2025, in German theaters. 

Trailer: Is there already a preview of the movie?

A new trailer for the upcoming movie has recently been released, which even includes the German dubbing. It features the titular girl Reze and the Bomb Devil, who can make his surroundings explode.

Start video
Chainsaw Man: Der Trailer zum Film zeigt Denjis Romanze mit Reze

Dubbing: In which language will the Reze Arc be available?

The movie will be shown in the original Japanese audio with German subtitles. It is also likely that the German dubbing will run in parallel, as the trailer for the movie has already been dubbed and released in German. A similar approach was taken with the film for Demon Slayer.

Length: How many minutes do I have to stay in the cinema?

The Reze Arc will be shown within 1 hour and 40 minutes, which is 100 minutes. 

Streaming Service: Where can I watch the movie afterwards?

So far, it is not yet known if and when the movie will be available on German streaming services. We will keep you updated as soon as there is new information. At least Crunchyroll has secured the anime.

Story: What happens in the movie?

Denji has his first real romance with a mysterious girl named Reze. She works in a café and seems to be the dream girl for Denji. The two date and develop a relationship. However, things change when Reze’s true identity comes to light.

Throughout the movie, there is a dramatic, yet tragic battle. In this, Denji must decide what values he stands for.

Fellowship aims to pack the best of MMORPGs into a compact co-op game, the servers burst at the start of the beta

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Fellowship is a new game that has started in Open Beta on Steam, bringing the most popular mode from MMORPGs as a standalone game. The initial rush alone causes the servers to crash.

What kind of game is this? Fellowship describes itself as a Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure (short: MODA) and aims to offer dungeons and instances like in MMORPGs, without any leveling phase or quests.

The developers’ stated goal is that players can jump directly into their first dungeon after the launch and grind through increasingly challenging content from there. However, players do not have to forfeit loot and talents; both classic progression systems are present in Fellowship.

If you have always found the leveling phase to be an annoying obstacle to endgame in MMORPGs, you will feel right at home here. Just how well the dungeons play was something players wanted to know on the evening of September 18th, and they caused the servers to crash.

Beta launch runs like an MMORPG

How did the beta launch go? When the beta launched on the evening of September 18, 2025, it didn’t take long before the first players complained about server issues. Over 16,000 players (via SteamDB) tried to access the servers of the co-op dungeon game simultaneously.

Too many, as about an hour after the launch, many players experienced disconnections. The developers initially announced a restart before finally deciding to put the game into maintenance mode.

To appease the impatient fans a bit, one of the developers went live on Twitch, where he continually provided updates to the players.

When was the problem resolved? It was only about 5 hours after the launch, just before midnight in Germany, that the developers were able to resolve the server issues. Players then had to wait in a longer queue before they could finally start playing.

In the morning, there was another update from the developers, in which they reported that they now needed some sleep and would address the further issues throughout the day.

After the server problems, it is expected that the peak player number of 16,274 on Steam will be surpassed again over the weekend.

What does this mean for the release? In a livestream on Twitch, the developer emphasized that the beta is primarily a test for the developers’ systems, so that everything runs more smoothly for the early access launch on October 16. This way, they can use the collected data to eliminate such release difficulties.

At the early access launch, the developer revealed that the hero Tariq, who is not available in the beta, will also return to the game. However, in the beta, which runs until September 23, the hero will remain absent.

It seems almost ironic that Fellowship not only has the game mode but also the problems of an MMORPG. How the game is received by testers is yet to be determined. However, MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier has already tried it with the developers: If you love the endgame in MMORPGs, a game on Steam offers you plenty of it, but there is a catch

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

Ody Ody 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:

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 Nico Scheibel 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.:

Players are excited about this new feature

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.
