With Ilysia, a development studio wants to immerse us even deeper into the virtual worlds of MMORPGs. Thanks to VR headsets, we can expect something similar to the popular anime series Sword Art Online.
What is Ilysia? Essentially, it is a rather classic MMORPG. You create a hero and explore a vast fantasy world with it. There, many enemies await you to fight, and you descend into dungeons where boss monsters lurk. Additionally, you also complete quests and can optionally engage in PvP battles.
The world is 288 km² in size. You can explore it freely and even climb.
You create a hero from individual skills that you assemble freely.
PvP is optional. You can choose to engage and fight each other or completely ignore PvP. However, there are also areas where PvP is active.
Many quests await you in the game world.
Alongside large boss enemies, you will even encounter larger titans that you must climb in order to defeat.
Airships, mounts, and even pets play a role.
You own a caravan that essentially serves as a mobile home, which you can design freely.
You search for new weapons and armor to improve yourself.

What is special about this new MMORPG? All of this is experienced with a VR headset on PC, with PSVR on the PlayStation 4, or with the standalone headset Oculus Quest. This means you can expect a virtual reality game that represents a full-fledged MMORPG. A VR headset is necessary to play.
Visually, you shouldn’t expect a wonder of art. Ilysia looks more like a slightly prettier Everquest. The performance on VR headsets, such as Oculus Quest, takes priority, which means some compromises must be made in graphics.
Nevertheless, the MMORPG is supposed to draw you much more into the game world. You are closer to the action and should feel like you are really acting in this world and not sitting at a computer.
What does this have to do with Sword Art Online? In the anime Sword Art Online, the players find themselves in a virtual fantasy world. They also play via VR and not traditionally on a computer or console. So it’s similar to what is the case in Ilysia.
A pre-alpha of Ilysia has already taken place. In the video, you can see how it went.
When will the game be released? Ilysia is expected to enter Alpha 1 in spring or summer 2021. A beta is planned for autumn 2021. Whether the release will still take place in 2021 or only in 2022 is still unclear.
How to participate: If you are interested in a VR MMORPG, you can participate in the Kickstarter campaign. This runs until October 4, and the team has already raised more than half of the desired funding amount of 50,815 euros. Things look very good for the project. Interest is there, and it is likely that some stretch goals can be achieved.
With a contribution of 28 euros, you will gain access to the beta starting in autumn 2021. With 30 euros, you can join the slightly earlier starting alpha.
In the PS Store, there are regularly interesting offers that are worth it for gamers. In our article, we present several top titles that you can get for under 15 euros. It’s definitely worth taking a closer look at the games.
What kind of sale is this? Currently, there are several classics on offer in the PS Store for under 15 euros.
How long does the new promotion in the PS Store last? The sale started on September 2nd and runs until September 17th, 2020. You have about 10 days.

What is Titanfall 2? In a distant future, governments have been replaced by powerful corporations. In the campaign, you play as a soldier who wants to become a Titan pilot. The gameplay revolves around the large combat robots that you use to complete the single-player campaign and multiplayer battles.
Why the game is worth it: Titanfall 2 offers an exciting and well-staged campaign. This is mainly due to the strong presentation, varied locations, great lighting, and the powerful soundtrack that perfectly complements the events. This is combined with good gunplay: all weapons feel different, and there are many gadgets that fit meaningfully into the gameplay.
Aside from the campaign, there are dynamic and extremely fun online battles characterized by fairly designed maps and many different modes. Additionally, the progression system is much more extensive than in the first part.
In Titanfall 2, you can run along walls.
This is less successful: Graphically, Titanfall 2 is no longer up to date. The story is engagingly presented but offers a clichéd story about a soldier. The characters and the villain also remain dull and uninteresting.
Who is the game suitable for? Those looking for a shooter with excellent gameplay and a strong multiplayer should check out Titanfall 2. If you played Titanfall 1, you should also check out part 2.
Pro
strong presentation of the game
varied landscapes and great lighting
smooth animations
Atmospheric soundtrack
great gunplay
exciting, dynamic, and fun online battles
Contra
graphically outdated at release
clichéd story about a soldier
bland characters
mediocre matchmaking
Where can you buy the game? Currently, Titanfall 2 Ultimate Edition is on sale in the PS Store:
What is Horizon Zero Dawn? In Horizon Zero Dawn, you take on the role of the young woman Aloy. She is a special protagonist, as she is an outcast and not a shining hero from the start. Together, you learn not only to fight but also to train for her so-called trial, through which she wants to leave her outcast existence behind.
Why the game is worth it: On the PlayStation 4 and the PS4 Pro, the game looks simply fantastic. The game is visually stunning and the world is filled with details and great landscapes: Sometimes you are traversing snow-covered valleys, and sometimes you walk through a harsh steppe landscape. The story is also well staged, which is also due to the fact that the game is excellently dubbed in German. The visuals and story are combined with a well-crafted RPG component and a thoughtful crafting system.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, you fight against all sorts of strange machines.
This is less successful: After the player gets to know Aloy in a great tutorial, the game loses quite a bit of momentum for a while. Only after about a third of the game does the story regain its pace. Also, the normal difficulty level is much too easy. Experienced players should directly choose a higher difficulty among the four levels. It’s also unfortunate that there isn’t an influence system for factions like there is in other games.
Who is the game suitable for? Horizon Zero Dawn is worth it for all players who want to experience an exciting, gripping story. The mix of Stone Age and high-tech is unique in its form.
Pro
great landscapes and fantastic design
well-staged story and sympathetic protagonist
excellent German voice acting
good RPG system and thoughtful crafting
has “New Game Plus” mode
Contra
the story loses momentum significantly in the first third
difficulty is too easy
no influence system for factions
Where can you buy Horizon Zero Dawn? Currently, the game is on sale in the PlayStation Store:
What is God of War III Remastered? God of War III Remastered is the remake of the 2010 PS3 game. In part 3, you once again take on the role of Kratos as he carves through Greek mythology on his quest for revenge. Graphically, a lot has changed, but the gameplay remains faithful to the Remaster.
Why the game is worth it: Even today, God of War III offers excellent hack-and-slash action with the Remastered Edition, paired with a great soundtrack and excellent German voice actors. The staging is still impressive, and the story is excitingly told.
From a gameplay perspective, the game combines various weapons and special attacks with interesting puzzles and flying sequences where you ride a Pegasus. In general, you are mostly engaged in battles against dozens of enemies at the same time.
This is less successful: The game shows that it comes from the PS3 era: Despite the remaster, some regions appear very plastic and look rather lifeless for the player. Occasionally, some ugly textures disturb the overall picture. The game also carries a few remnants from the past: areas must be visited multiple times and the game overall plays very linearly. In addition, there are comparatively few different enemies in the game, which can become boring over time.
Who is the game worth it for? God of War III is worth it for anyone who has played the old PS3 game and also for newcomers. The game’s staging is still convincing today, largely due to the great soundtrack.
Pro
impressive staging thanks to great voice actors and soundtrack
strong story
various weapons and special attacks
puzzle elements
overhauled version of the PS3 game
Contra
characters seem lifeless
weak textures
very linear gameplay
Where can you buy God of War III Remastered? The game is currently on sale in the PS Store:
What is Star Wars Battlefront II? The story centers on elite soldier Iden Versio, leader of Inferno Squad. The story is experienced from the perspective of the Empire. In addition, the game offers an extensive multiplayer with numerous different modes for up to 40 players. You can engage in Sci-Fi battles on numerous iconic locations from the Star Wars saga, either on foot or as a space pilot.
Why the game is worth it: Graphically, Battlefront II offers you the best of what you can currently get in terms of Star Wars: The setting looks fantastic, and it’s fun to run over planets or fight in space, accompanied by a bombastic soundtrack. The controls are intuitive and precise, and there is plenty for players to do with numerous modes and different characters.
After heavy criticism, the developer fundamentally revised the game and made many improvements. Essential game components that are important for battles are no longer tied to random drops in loot boxes. Changes have been made in other areas as well, so that Battlefront II has now reached the state it should have been in at launch.
This is less successful: The announced campaign is short and rather disappointing. The AI does not perform well on either side, and many enemies look the same in battles. The matchmaking still throws beginners in with professionals, and the Star Wars shooter does not fully utilize its potential.
Who is the game suitable for? If you enjoy shooter action and have a heart for Star Wars, you can’t go wrong with Battlefront II. The microtransactions that once caused so much trouble and frustration have been completely revised and are now considered fair by most players. Additionally, SWBF II received its last update, with which the developers’ vision is now complete.
Pro
fantastic setting and great soundtrack
cool cutscenes
good space battles
intuitive and precise controls
large scope
fun multiplayer battles with various modes
soldier classes provide tactical options
Contra
short and disappointing campaign
simple and not very clever AI
many enemies look alike
weak matchmaking,
potential is not fully utilized
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently on sale in the PS Store. If you are an EA Play subscriber, you can save even more percentage off your purchase:
What is Ni No Kuni 2? This is an RPG that mixes action-packed combat with city-building strategy and RPG elements. The story is about the young king Evan, who is overthrown in a coup. Together with his friends, he travels through the land trying to win the people’s support.
Why the game is worth it: Ni No Kuni 2, like its predecessor, features beautiful graphics and a fantastic soundtrack. No wonder, as the music is composed by Joe Hisaishi, who has composed music for almost every Ghibli production.
From a gameplay perspective, the game is immensely motivating. In addition to dozens of quests, you build your own kingdom. There is also a nice strategy mode: Here you lead small armies into battle. In contrast to its predecessor, Ni No Kuni 2 opts for an action-oriented combat system instead of a turn-based system.
You do not need to know the predecessor to play, but some places will feel familiar, such as Katzbuckel.
The heroes from Ni No Kuni 2.
This is less successful: If you enjoy playing RPGs, you may find Ni No Kuni 2 overall to be significantly too easy. While the difficulty increases as the game progresses, it never becomes challenging. Also, when building your kingdom, you are never under time pressure.
It’s also unfortunate that some side quests cannot maintain the quality of the rest of the game: simple fetch quests are required from you. Additionally, the characters aside from the main ones lack depth.
Who is the game suitable for? If you liked the predecessor, you will also enjoy part 2, even though some things have changed compared to the predecessor. Also, RPG fans will get their money’s worth. Just for the setting and the fantastic soundtrack, it’s worth taking a look at the world of Ni No Kuni 2.
Pro
beautiful graphic style
exciting and emotional story
great soundtrack
action-packed combat system
motivating building mode
well-developed main characters
Contra
somewhat trivial side quests
bland side characters
sometimes significantly too easy
Where can you buy the game? Currently, the game is on sale in the PS Store:
What is Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection? The Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection combines all three Uncharted games from PS3 in an HD remaster. The Uncharted series follows Nathan Drake on his adventures in the third-person perspective. He climbs and fights his way through the world while solving puzzles.
Why the game is worth it: Along with a captivating and wonderfully staged story surrounding the hero Nathan, the game offers many interesting characters and a believable game world. Additionally, there are climbing sequences and puzzles to solve, and the battles are dynamic and well crafted. Technically, the trilogy provides you with high-resolution textures and a stable frame rate of 60 FPS on the PS4.
The Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection offers you three games in one.
This is less successful: The trilogy does not offer any multiplayer modes. Additionally, the puzzles in the games are somewhat too easy and could have been more challenging. Also, the games from the PS3 era have not aged well overall.
Who is the game suitable for? For anyone who has not played Uncharted yet and has a fondness for action-adventure games, they should definitely check out this game.
Pro
high-resolution textures and stable 60 FPS
dynamically crafted battles
well staged story with captivating cutscenes
interesting, deep characters
believable game world
three games in one
Contra
no multiplayer modes
puzzles too easy
games have not aged well
Where can you buy the game? Currently, the game is on sale in the PS Store:
What is Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition? This is a tactical RPG that relies on party combat. You can control up to 6 characters, with whom you explore the fantasy world of Eora, defeating opponents and solving puzzles. The battles occur in pausable real-time.
Why the game is worth it: Pillars of Eternity successfully rekindles the feeling of older RPGs like Baldur’s Gate or Icewind Dale. This is mainly due to the six-member party and the extensive and complex combat system. Additionally, the game is very extensive and will provide you with many hours of entertainment. The world of Eora feels cohesive and lively: thefts are punished if you tamper with the property of others, and the residents of various locations react to your reputation.
The game addresses many interesting and serious themes. The controller scheme is also praiseworthy.
In Pillars of Eternity, you control a six-member group. However, in some battles, it quickly becomes overwhelming.
This is less successful: The story has some logical gaps and some questionable decisions. Some characters also have pathfinding issues, and the battles can quickly become chaotic despite the ability to pause. It’s also a shame that the camera is fixed and cannot be rotated. On the PS4, there are also slight stutters in the gameplay.
Questionable decision?
Within the first hours of play, two party members become irretrievably lost. With the already low number of characters, this is a strange decision on the part of the developer.
Compared to Baldur’s Gate and others, the characters seem bland and lifeless, and the dialogues feel forced and lack dynamism. Additionally, Pillars of Eternity completely forgoes romances, etc.
Who is the game suitable for? If you enjoy extensive RPGs with a complex and tactical combat system, or if you have already played similar games like Pathfinder: Kingmaker, then you should definitely check out Pillars of Eternity.
Pro
convincing old-school feel thanks to the six-member party
atmospheric soundtrack
tactical and challenging combat system
successful controller controls
good mix of fights, exploration, and dialogue
adult and morally interesting themes
vibrant game world (theft punished, residents react to reputation)
Contra
illogical situations
camera not rotatable
slight stutters on PS4
pathfinding issues
poor visibility in battles
low party interaction

Bet you haven’t seen a weird staircase like this in Minecraft yet? It’s brilliant – and also a little bit crazy.
After all these years, one would think that players have discovered and analyzed all the quirks and secrets of Minecraft. Yet, time and again, players find new mechanics or funny combinations of blocks that no one has thought of before. This creates a pretty steep staircase whose efficiency is hard to beat.
What’s special about the staircase? The staircase not only combines 6 different types of blocks, but it also achieves the steepest ascent possible in Minecraft. Over the distance of a single block, it rises a full three blocks in height. Regular stairs can only achieve a height of one block – just regular stairs. The staircase consists of:
A quartz step
A chest
A bell
A glass pane
A cake with 6 pieces bitten off
An open trapdoor
You can check out the exact layout of the staircase in this little clip by the creator nowitscleanandheavy:
How does it work? The 6 materials used all have different shapes and fill a Minecraft block differently. When approaching this combination of blocks exactly from the middle, a small rise alternates between the blocks on the left and right – essentially creating a natural staircase. Although not particularly beautiful, it is extremely efficient.
However, one should be careful that no glutton trips over the staircase. Because once you eat too much cake, the staircase stops working and you get stuck. So, think carefully about who you want to invite to your wonder staircase.
The community is excited: The Minecraft players on the subreddit are thrilled with this staircase. The post with the idea is one of the most positively marked posts of all time, having received over 116,000 upvotes.
By now, this staircase has even become a small meme. The user OneTrueKingofOOO took on the opposite task and built the “least steep staircase,” which has also received over 35,000 upvotes.

What’s new? The price for Microsoft’s two next-gen consoles is now supposedly set. The website Windows Central cites its sources, which are not named.
What should the Xbox Series X cost? The two console models are about $200 apart. It is assumed that the price in dollars will be converted to euros at a 1:1 ratio. Thus, the dollar prices should correspond to the euro prices.
The price of the Xbox Series X is said to be $499 – Those who want can reportedly take advantage of an “Xbox All Access” financing option for $35 per month
The price of the Xbox Series S is said to be $299 – The financing plan with Xbox All Access is expected to cost $25 per month
Release date of the Xbox Series X: According to sources from Windows Central, both consoles, the X and the S, will be available for purchase on November 10, 2020.
According to sources, Microsoft will soon hold a press conference to officially present both consoles, prices, and release dates.
First images of the Xbox Series S
This is what it looks like: Due to a leak, first images of the smaller, more affordable version of the Xbox Series have now emerged.
Although the clip on Twitter lasts just under 4 seconds, it allows viewers to compare the size. At the end of the video, you can see how small the S console is compared to the Xbox Series X. Both consoles are initially shown side by side, and finally, the small console is placed inside the large X.
Noticeable is the large, dark fan intake on the side of the console.

Based on this graphic, it looks like the Xbox Series S will come without a disc drive. Leaks regarding the S version from March 2020 predicted a competitive price of $299. At that time, a possible argument for this low price was that it does not include a 4K Blu-ray drive.
In the Amazon shop, the upcoming MMO New World is listed with a release date after several delays. Originally, New World was supposed to be released this year.It was said that the MMO is now expected to launch in Spring 2020.
Amazon has listed New World on its product page in the online store with a release date.
The listed date is May 25, 2021.
Is this the official release? No. There has been no release announcement from Amazon Game Studios. The official website of New World also does not mention a release date.
The listed release in the shop could just be a placeholder date.
This is what the new shop page for New World on Amazon looks like.
How the release changed
Initially, the release date for New World was set for May 2020 – but Amazon postponed it on April 9. The reason given was the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
The new release date was supposed to be August 25, 2020 – which was postponed on July 10.
The current expected release date for New World is officially set for Spring 2021 – The astronomical spring next year spans from March 20 to June 21.
On September 7, August 25, 2020, appeared as the release date in the Amazon shop. However, it is unclear whether this is indeed correct as a release date.
This is what Amazon said about the delay: The New World team states that the delay comes after feedback from alpha testers and after reviewing the feature list (via New World).
It is said: The alpha testers liked the game, but they want to see more of it. They especially want to experience more “mid-game and end-game experiences” in Aeternum.
In order for players to fully immerse themselves in the game, they want to bring more of this content so that players feel like they are playing a complete game when it releases in 2021. The beta test, which was actually supposed to start in July, will also be postponed.
New World was originally conceived as a PvP MMO with a focus on survival and a gigantic world.
However, in December 2019, Amazon announced a reorientation for New World. They wanted to place a stronger focus on PvE.
As a result, there are significant doubts in the community about whether the team can finish enough PvE content in a short time to meet the demands of PvE players.
The second delay can be seen as a reaction to this criticism: Alpha testers apparently missed game content in the middle and endgame. There were also big question marks surrounding these areas in public discussion.
Recently, MeinMMO released an exclusive insight into the world of New World.
Preview event provided insight into the MMO
As a consolation for the postponed release, Amazon offered a short preview event that took place from August 25 to September 5. Another event is to follow in November, but that will be a closed alpha with NDA.
Interest in New World has grown significantly since the shift to a PvE focus. Here at MeinMMO, it is regarded as the most popular new online RPG that is set to release soon:
The Vigilante in GTA Online is what many call the Batmobile. Equipped with a powerful rocket boost and weapons, it blows away everything in its way. Well, almost everything. Helicopters are included.
What is it about? A user shared a clip of the Batmobile in GTA Online on PC on reddit. He titled the video “I love the Vigilante.” Although the sequence ends after 7 seconds, that’s enough to excite thousands of other players.
The post is successful on reddit, garnering over 16,700 upvotes and more than 370 comments. Viewers apparently share the love for the Batmobile. We embed the clip from user tea-vs-coffee here in the article:

This is what the video shows: In the clip, the player uses their rocket boost to race over the crest of a mountain. Due to the high speed, the Batmobile flies into the air and collides with a helicopter that happens to be passing by. Not built for this encounter, the heli explodes mid-air while the car continues flying and remains intact.
No wonder the player loves such a cool stunt vehicle. But the Vigilante has even more to offer.
Why is the Vigilante also good?
If you don’t own the Vigilante yet, we’ll show you some features and details of the car that you may not know. Keep in mind that the car costs a whopping 3,750,000 GTA dollars and is among the more expensive vehicles in the game. If you follow our tips, you’ll earn the necessary money quite quickly. 12 ways to earn a lot of money quickly in GTA Online in 2020.
Weapons on board: The front of the car is equipped with machine guns. If desired, you can also retrofit rockets that can be fired either homing or straight ahead.
Speed: With its rocket boost, the Vigilante has excellent acceleration and reaches its top speed in just a few moments. With its top speed, the Batmobile leads the list of the fastest cars in GTA Online. Since the boost recharges quickly, you are always fast on the road and can accelerate out of tight corners quickly.
Disadvantages: The vehicle has a rather unstable driving behavior. It tends to slide easily in corners. Accelerating out of corners using rocket boost requires a lot of practice. Additionally, the Vigilante rides fairly low to the ground. Even the smallest bumps or stones in the way can hinder your driving.
In Fortnite Season 4, the loot pool has been shuffled again. A strong submachine gun is now back, but it’s not easy to find. We show you where to get it.
What kind of weapon is it? This “secret weapon” is the light machine gun that has been taken out of the Fortnite vault and is now available again in Season 4.
The comparison makes sense because the light machine gun fires 208 shots per second and has a magazine size of 100. It behaves similarly to the powerful mini-gun from Fortnite.
The machine gun causes 26 damage per hit. Combined with its speed and magazine size, it is quite powerful, but it is not for everyone. The downside is the bloom, which is quite imprecise and causes some shots to go astray. If you can’t handle the recoil, you should probably not rely on this weapon.
This is what the LMG looks like in Fortnite
It is clear that the LMG is a strong weapon in terms of DPS. With its stats, it can compete with the best weapons by DPS.
Where can you find the LMG in Season 4?
Perhaps you’ve already noticed that the light machine gun is not very common in Fortnite. This is because you can only find it at the location “Dooms Domain”.

The Fortnite YouTuber SypherPK explains all the information about the light machine gun in his video and shows exactly where it is located
There, you must go to the loot vault located under the open soccer field. To get the LMG, you simply have to eliminate one of the henchmen that patrol there. They will drop the “hidden” weapon.
But visiting Dooms Domain is worthwhile not only because of the machine gun. You will also encounter one of the mini-bosses from Season 4. If you defeat Doctor Doom there, you will receive his special superhero abilities that you can use in the game. So you will certainly move on with good loot once you survive the fight.

We summarize the most exciting innovations here again.
1. FIFA 21 career gets new match simulation
This is what makes the simulation different: So far, in match simulations, you could only hope for a good outcome. In the new career, there is an “Interactive Match Simulation”. This allows you to enter and exit games.
So if you notice that the opposing team is bringing your team to the brink of defeat, you can intervene. You can also quickly and easily take over executing set pieces, such as free kicks and penalties.
This is what the simulation looks like in career mode (via EA Sports)
The simulation looks similar to the game radar. It also provides insight into values like performance and stamina, based on which you can make changes. You will have more control over simulated matches than before.
2. New positional changes in talent development
This is changing with the positions: Among the innovations in career mode is an overhauled development system. It will be possible to train players even more precisely: for example, you can transform “right full-backs into right wingers” and defensive midfielders into center-backs.
It seems that one can shape talents even more precisely into the players that are needed for their team. At the same time, there should be a new “active training system” where you can group your players and further develop them. There you can specifically develop the attributes of your players that you need.
Can we soon completely repurpose players like Mbappé?
3. More realism in the career
The FIFA 21 career mode is supposed to become more realistic: To make the career mode feel more realistic, an optimized opponent AI is supposed to ensure more sensible decisions on the field. This affects man marking, tackles, and dribbling. The results of the other teams in the career are also supposed to be closer to reality than before.
Lead your team to the world top in career mode
These new transfer options are available: The realism of transfers is also supposed to be improved. More realistic deals could emerge. So don’t expect to sign cover star Mbappé when dealing with FC Augsburg.
Additionally, there is now also the possibility to arrange loan deals with purchase options and optional or binding transfer sums. Thus, the career mode is also getting closer to real football.
4. A revamped career calendar
This is new about the calendar: Planning your career will take a larger part than before. You should be able to plan your team’s training and recovery days precisely.
Especially with regard to the fixture list, this will be important: Before crucial matches against big teams, you shouldn’t let your own team get completely worn out in training.
Everything we know so far about the game has been summarized for you in the overview of FIFA 21.

On the homepage “PawnTakesPawn.com”, the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War hid the first trailer of their game. But there is even more to find here. Currently, you can grab a “secret” truck skin for Warzone. MeinMMO shows you how.
Call of Duty: Cold War is about the events of the Cold War, focusing on covert operations (Black Ops). And not just in the game, but also in the real world.
Since the creators of CoD 2020 sent a few mysterious wooden boxes in early August, some players have been puzzling over the crazy Easter eggs hidden by developer Treyarch. Now, players have cracked another riddle and unlocked a reward for all of us: a cool truck skin in Soviet style.
Cold War rewards “Easter Egg” collectors, and you can rejoice
How do I get the skin? For this, you need accounts on two sites:
On the CoD site, you will then need to link your respective accounts, such as your PlayStation or Xbox Live account. After that, you must complete the following steps:
Enter the following codes in the fields: Top Left: FUGAZIFILE Middle Left: BURNBAG Bottom Left: INTELFIRE Top Right: INFOHAX Middle Right: SHREDITALL Bottom Right: GRIDSQUARE
Confirm the codes, and you will receive a key
Copy the key, click the link below it, and you will go to the CoD website
Here you can enter the key, confirm it, and you will get the truck skin
Why is Cold War giving away the paint job? This is still part of the grand reveal of the new Call of Duty. On the PawnTakesPawn site, the hunt for the first trailer started a few weeks ago, and since then, the site updates from time to time, offering attentive observers new secrets.
With the paint job, Call of Duty rewards the community because players managed to solve a tricky riddle. They had to play through a game over 40 years old to have strange postcards sent to their homes. With these cards, they then had a map for the text-based game and part of a QR code. The short version: With the postcards, they deciphered the 6 codes for the truck and found the “invisibletruths” website on PawnTakesPawn.
The long version can be found on the English YouTube channel of “Geeky Pastimes” – they cracked the riddle together with their Discord server:

How long will the skin be available? That’s unclear. The reward may only be for the puzzlers and could go offline in a few hours. Grab the skin as quickly as possible to be sure. However, it may also be that the reward stays online permanently. The article will then be updated accordingly.

In Destiny 2 , a student found the solution for his difficult homework. His ally is a teacher who offers free tutoring sessions after their raids.
Do you know the situation? You just want to play your favorite game, but in reality, your real-life tasks are piling up and the deadline is mercilessly approaching?
The homework needs to be submitted at school the next day
The university wants a multi-page essay on post-colonial structures
Or the tax office wants to see the tax return from last year
Something similar happened to the Guardian and reddit user Drakath60. However, he decided to go for one more raid in Destiny 2 instead of tackling his physics homework for college – and that was (exceptionally) the right decision.
The player was quite lucky: When the last boss in the “Garden of Salvation” raid was down and they were heading to the Tower, Drakath60 mustered up the courage to ask if anyone was good enough at physics to help him with his homework.
And indeed: A teammate was willing to help. As luck would have it, the helpful Guardian was even a physics teacher. Together, they not only defeated the boss, but also tackled the complex numbers and formulas.
Where was the joy greatest, after the raid boss or the physics homework? – Source: Imgur
This is quite unusual: Because anyone who has mastered a raid with random players via LFG tools or apps usually wants to leave quickly after the boss kill. The flight to the Tower is therefore regularly dominated by an awkward silence, until the first Guardian breaks the silence: “Thanks guys, gg” – Some disappear the moment the raid is completed without saying a word.
A teacher who helps with homework after the raid becomes the new hero of the Destiny community
This is how the community reacts: Drakath60 then shared the event on reddit and thanked the savior:
Thank you for taking the time and going through [the physics homework] with me, it made the rest much easier! Cool community moment.
The post has now almost 11,000 upvotes and has been awarded several accolades. The free tutoring sessions and willingness to help have been well received. The teacher also chimed in, saying he would help again at any time.
Many users express that they love this kind of behavior in the Destiny community. We have also reported on other examples on MeinMMO:
Other commentators make a joke and offer their skills to seeking guardians. So if your vehicle breaks down or you need expertise, Destiny 2 might be the right place to go.
What do you think of this action, would you also like to have such a cool teacher? How has the community made your heart race? What the community has already achieved in-game you can read here: 5 impressive achievements by guardians in Destiny and Destiny 2

The Minecraft MMORPG Hegemony had its first major content patch. We reveal what is now included.
A while ago, we reported on Hegemony on MeinMMO, which finally celebrated its launch after several delays. Now, a larger content update has been released, expanding the game world. New quests, a game world with multiple “layers”, and a new balanced combat system await.
What is Hegemony? Hegemony is a true MMORPG that is entirely based on Minecraft. The developers have created a huge game world and furnished it with numerous different systems. There are many quests, housing options, various professions and skills, many different types of enemies, and large battles between multiple players.
Basically, all that one would expect from an MMORPG.
What’s new: With the “Traders from the East” patch, Hegemony received its first major content patch on September 6. It involves the “traders from the east” who bring new goods and thereby create many new gameplay opportunities.
Historical Events: These are temporary quests that can only be played within a few months. They involve the protection of traders or raids on them to obtain new resources.
New Skills: Players can now learn leatherworking and build armor or practice agility.
Reworked Combat System: The combat system with melee and ranged weapons has been reworked and rebalanced. Battles are now faster, and there are a variety of new enemy camps that can be attacked.
Layers: The world now has different layers that appear differently. For example, when someone completes a quest that influences a town, they will see the changes in the game world.
A fresh trailer shows these new features in Hegemony:

How can you join? Anyone who wants to check out Hegemony only needs a normal Minecraft client of version 1.15.2. Then they just have to establish a direct connection via multiplayer and connect to the server mc.hegemony.xyz. However, this results in lower performance and poorer textures. Anyone who wants to experience the game in all its glory should download the full game client from the official site.
Have you ever checked out Hegemony? Can you become friends with “Minecraft as an MMORPG” or is that not for you?

Recently, there are Watch Parties on Twitch. The German streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris thinks the feature is good, but he would not implement it with his community.
What are Watch Parties? This feature connects the streaming service Amazon Prime Video and the platform Twitch. Streamers can watch movies and series together with their community on Twitch that are offered on Amazon Prime Video.
The feature came about because Amazon is also the owner of Twitch. They want to network their platforms with each other.
This is what MontanaBlack says: The streamer was asked about the new Twitch feature during his stream on September 4. He explains why he will not use Watch Parties for now. He does not want to exclude part of his community, says MontanaBlack.
Streamer wants to continue offering content for free
This is the video: We embed the video of the stream here, which was uploaded on MontanaBlack’s highlight channel “Richtiger Kevin”:

This is MontanaBlack’s stance on Watch Parties: The streamer is bothered by the fact that every viewer of this party must have an Amazon Prime subscription. Anyone who does not have it cannot watch the series.
MontanaBlack, who is among the largest streamers in Germany, says that he would exclude part of the community, and that he does not want this: “Watching series with my community means to me not to exclude part of my community who do not have Amazon Prime.”
The streamer then adds: “Every content from me: TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and also Twitch is free for everyone […] and that is why I don’t feel that way.”
While he finds the basic idea behind Watch Parties good, he believes it is the opposite of what he currently does, as a paid subscription is required.
In conclusion, MontanaBlack says that he generally does not know if this is even something for him. He wants to lie in bed and relax while watching movies and series. Nevertheless, he also states that this is just his current standpoint. Possibly, this may change.
Why does Twitch even offer this feature? It is a clever marketing strategy from Amazon, who owns Twitch. After all, hundreds of new subscribers come along when a large streamer watches a series or a movie on Twitch. As a viewer, you then have to subscribe.
Here, Amazon cleverly draws parallels between Prime Video and Twitch, trying to gain new customers.
Another clever marketing move by Amazon on Twitch was the game New World
The new MMO New World, which is being developed by Amazon, became a hit on Twitch directly. The reason for this was also that Amazon cleverly exploited the opportunities that Twitch offers.

Climbing the ranks in Valorant isn’t easy, even with a team. Alone, it can be an even greater challenge. Pro Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas Colocho shares how you can win more often in solo queue. The key is communication: Talk to your teammates.
The 24-year-old mixwell was already a pro in Counter-Strike and successfully played for OpTic Gaming until 2017. His last tournament was in 2018, where he placed first at DreamHack in Valencia with Team North (via Liquipedia).
mixwell advises: In a tweet, mixwell reveals that it’s about the mindset you adopt while playing. There is a “Losers mentality” and a “Winners mentality” to approach the solo queue. They look like this:
Why is this important? You shouldn’t simply pick the currently best agent in Valorant and play for yourself, but rather work together with your team. Collaboration is the strength in a tactical shooter.
Moreover, it doesn’t help to become insulting. Toxic behavior only leads to everyone being annoyed and playing worse. With a positive mindset, you have a higher chance of winning. Because everyone is then more likely to be motivated to do their best – especially when everyone reacts this way.
Even though losses are frustrating, you shouldn’t let it get to you or even spread that frustration to others. If you address your difficulties, you can work together to find a solution. Unless it involves overpowered weapons that should remain. Then practice is the only solution.

Fortnite Season 4 – Chapter 2 introduced some superheroes as skins to the game. However, the YouTuber LazarBeam now explains 3 of them as Pay2Win because their abilities and appearance create an advantage. He demonstrates this in a video.
However, the appearance of some Marvel skins is said to be Pay2Win according to a YouTuber.
What is Pay2Win? Pay2Win refers to a situation where a player pays money to gain an advantage in the game. This can occur in various areas of a game. In Fortnite, it is clearly stated in the Item Shop that the purchasable skins and accessories are only cosmetic items that should not provide an advantage in the game.
New skins can provide an advantage
Why are exactly these skins said to be Pay2Win? The YouTuber LazarBeam demonstrates in a video what advantage the 3 skins Groot, Mystique, and Silver Surfer can have when used correctly.
It mainly concerns the ability to camouflage in the Fortnite world. The skins can blend in with their surroundings, making the player “invisible.” Mystique’s ability to transform into any skin she has eliminated before the transformation is supposed to help her blend in among AI bots.

In his YouTube video, LazarBeam tests how well he can camouflage with these 3 skins on the Fortnite map
As the YouTuber says: “It’s amazing what you can do in Fortnite when you spend money.” Therefore, he talks about Pay2Win here.
How does the tactic work with Mystique? With this skin, the YouTuber uses the built-in emote that allows Mystique to transform into any skin she has eliminated prior to the transformation.
For this tactic to be advantageous, he applies it to the AI bots scattered across the map. Then he blends in and pretends to be a bot. His opponents do not expect a “strong” opponent and tend to play carelessly.
LazarBeam blends in among the bots and goes unnoticed
But this is not the only superhero ability you can use in the game. However, you first need to take out mini-bosses:
How does the tactic work with Silver Surfer and Groot? With these two skins, it’s all about their own appearance, with which they can camouflage at various locations. Silver Surfer is limited to camouflage by the silver statue of Doctor Doom.
Groot can hide more easily among trees because he has a tree-like appearance. If used in the right place, he can hide and surprise his opponents out of nowhere.
Here you can see how the YouTuber used both camouflages
With Groot, the YouTuber actually won a round in the end because he went undiscovered until the top 5.
It was also the case with the cardboard skins, which were labeled Pay2Win by YouTube colleague Muselk. They could blend perfectly into the Fortnite world, causing quite a scare that threw other players off their game.

In India, the government has blocked 118 mobile apps, including the successful and popular PUBG Mobile. An Indian development studio has now announced the new game FAU-G, which has many similarities to PUBG.
What is happening in India? On September 2nd, we reported on MeinMMO that 118 mobile apps have been blocked in India. The reason is that they “endanger the integrity of India, the defense of India, the security of the state, and public order.”
Both iOS and Android apps are affected:
Among the apps are many games from China developed by Chinese developers like NetEase, who are involved with Blizzard in creating Diablo Immortal.
The Indian developer nCORE Games has now announced its own shooter, which already shows strong similarities to PUBG in its trailer. However, the title has a significantly closer connection to Indian history.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GA0cC3solc
FAU-G as a replacement for PUBG?
What is FAU-G? The name of the game immediately reminds of the well-known battle royale. Officially, it is called “Fearless and United Guards” and is set to be released in October. FAU-G sounds like the Hindi word for soldier (Phojee) and is supposed to revolve around the Indian army.
However, there has not been much to see other than the trailer and one image.
The title image is a stock photo, to which only Indian flags and the logos of nCORE Games and the game have been added. By purchasing such a license, the use is legal and unproblematic, but some see it as a short-term action to benefit from the PUBG ban. There are also discussions about whether the game will be produced quickly.
The teaser image for FAU-G (left) and the stock photo by FanaticalFuturist (right).
Who is developing the game? Behind the development studio nCORE Games is investor Vishal Gondal. He had great success with the company Indiagames and sold it in 2011 for 100 million dollars to Disney.
According to nCORE Games, FAU-G has supposedly been in production since 2019 and the ban on PUBG Mobile was allegedly just a coincidence. The team is said to consist of more than 25 programmers, artists, and designers who have previously worked on top titles.
So far, the studio, which was founded in 2019, has not released its own game. They also announced that 20% of all revenues from FAU-G will go to India’s Breavehearts, an official organization in memory of fallen soldiers.

PUBG Mobile was so successful in India because many users have access to a smartphone. PCs and consoles, on the other hand, are quite rare in the country.
Now that PUBG Mobile has been blocked, many will be looking for an alternative. FAU-G might be too late with a release in October, as there are other battle royales that Indian players have access to.
Call of Duty Mobile is one of the most successful mobile titles ever.
The smartphone shooter was downloaded over 100 million times within the first 7 days and even surpassed games like Fortnite and Pokémon GO. Since then, the game has been continuously developed and regularly receives new maps, modes, and weapons.
CoD: Mobile is among the mobile games with the best graphics. To find out which smartphone games look stunning, we reveal this list from MeinMMO.

The European pro from Modern Warfare Tom ‘Tommey’ Trewen challenged a tournament opponent to show his screen during a shared round of Call of Duty: Warzone to expose him as a cheater. He actually shows his hacks but says, “It was just a joke.”
What was going on? Call of Duty and its hackers – there have been so many stories and videos about this. The latest story: European pro Tom ‘Tommey’ Trewen suspected a tournament opponent of cheating after some of his viewers alerted him.
The pro then watched a bit of the streamer’s gameplay, contacted him, and challenged him to stream his screen with his face cam during a match in CoD: Warzone. The player in question is Twitch streamer “mingostylegaming.”
So, the two met for a shared round of Battle Royale. The discussions in the voice chat were heated, and the mood was tense. When the match started, one could actually briefly see one of the infamous cheat windows on “Mingo’s” screen, where the cheat settings are adjusted to the player’s preferences.
When Tommey caught wind of this, he immediately ended the match and confronted the alleged cheater. The latter claimed he was just messing around and briefly showed a photo that looked like the cheat interface. However, the pro didn’t accept that, and they couldn’t stop hurling insults at each other.
What did it look like? Since this all happened on-stream, you can check it out again.
The first clip shows the start of the shared match and images from the Mingo stream. At the moment when the drop plane breaks through the clouds at the match start, one briefly sees a window that looks exactly like the usual cheat programs:

The second clip then shows the end of the match, again from Mingo’s perspective. Tommy accuses the streamer of cheating, and he just replies, “I was just having fun, that was just a picture.” But Tommy doesn’t believe that: “We got him, we got him,” he is sure.

In a third clip, Tommy wants to prove that the shown window is not just a picture. Mingo showed the “fake cheat window,” and Tommy notices that the dimensions of the image do not match the window shown during the stream at all. For him, it is clear that these are cheats:

Was there a penalty for the cheater? Mingo’s Twitch channel is still accessible, and it is unclear whether the player was banned from Call of Duty. However, the tournament on which Tommy and Mingo played has already banned the streamer based on the evidence presented.
Cheater sightings in the free-to-play Warzone are frequent, and some streamers accidentally reveal their sneaky tricks live:
It becomes particularly nasty when hackers have it out for you. The German streamer “TarKoffeL” released a critique video on the use of cheats in the Warzone and was subsequently tracked by a hacker group for several months. Eventually, they also lost interest, and the streamer was able to close the topic with a well-placed headshot.
What do you think of the incident with mingostylegaming – cheat or joke?

The League of Legends is huge in South Korea and systemically relevant. A politician is now proposing to change the country’s laws so that e-sports stars like LoL player Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok or the pop stars of BTS can postpone their military service. This would allow them to continue their careers.
This is the situation:
In South Korea, men must enlist and serve in the military. At 19, men are drafted and must serve in the armed forces for at least 18 months if they are deemed fit. They are conscripted no later than the age of 25.
LoL superstar Faker is now 24 years old. According to the current regulations, he would soon be due for military service. This would likely end his career as a LoL star, as military service is incompatible with a life as a LoL professional.
Now, a politician is proposing a change in the law to spare Faker from the end of his career. He would have to serve his military duty only at the age of 30 if Congress agrees to this proposal.
“Elite of Art and Culture”
This is the change in the law: Politician Jeon Yong-Gi has proposed a change in the law that concerns “excellent personalities in culture and art.” As examples, the K-Pop band BTS and e-sports star Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok are explicitly mentioned.
They should be allowed to serve their military duty only at the age of 30.
A similar exemption already applies to Korean men who have made significant contributions to art and sport. Until now, this exemption primarily referred to Olympians, classical musicians, actors, and directors – and now it should also include e-sports players and pop stars. Those who attend high school can also postpone their military service in South Korea.
Some years ago, South Korea granted its athletes the privilege of postponing their military service for two years if they had prospects of winning “gold at the Olympics.” They only had to complete a 4-week basic training.
The politician justifies his decision: This is not an exception but the opposite. BTS and Faker deserve the same opportunity to delay military service as university students. The politician refers to an “elite in culture.”
What lies behind it: The change in the law shows the significant influence of e-sports and K-Pop in South Korea. Both are apparently considered “systemically relevant,” and politics is engaging with them.
Faker is considered the “best LoL player” of all time, even though his career has stalled recently. But he is seen as a “national treasure,” an extraordinary talent who, in the politician’s view, must continue to be able to pursue his job – which is apparently also seen as important for tourism.
She should resign due to a transgression in LoL.
In South Korea, LoL is a political issue
How important gaming is for South Korea can be seen from Ryu Hyo-young. She faced trouble as a politician in March for having shared her LoL account in 2014. The accusation was that she had been boosted by a stronger player.
Another politician pointed this out as a character flaw that would impede a political career. The politician who made the accusations is knowledgeable about the subject, as he was also once a pro-gamer, but in Starcraft, not in LoL.
The former pro-gamers who are now career politicians will surely understand the proposal aimed at extending Faker’s career in LoL. Whether politics will pass the change in the law remains to be seen:

The leaderboard of Season 21 in Diablo 3 shows which solo class is currently leading the field and who is far behind. There is a tight battle for 1st and 2nd place.
What is it about? On MeinMMO, we regularly check the leaderboard of the current season of Diablo 3 and analyze who is making waves and where there is still potential.
About 2 months ago, Season 21 in Diablo 3 started. That was on July 3rd. Since then, it has been climbing up the leaderboard. Players have already reached the highest difficulty of Greater Nephalem Rifts at level 150. While 1st and 2nd place in the solo leaderboard are still battling over who completes level 150 faster, the other classes have to climb up first.
We present an overview of who is currently leading the field.
Leaderboard of Season 21 in Diablo 3 – September 7
What do you see here? Here we look at the current state of the seasonal solo leaderboard of Season 21 in Diablo 3 in Softcore. Status: September 7, at 12:43 PM.
What builds are people playing? We will link the player’s hero profile behind their time. This way, you can directly check on Blizzard’s website what gear and abilities the player is currently using. However, keep in mind that the builds that led to the best times have likely changed since then.
What is special about it? Compared to our leaderboard insight from August, the Barbarian has made up several minutes in the ranking. Last month, the Dh led, but has now had to give up its top position.
However, as you can see, there are only about 3 minutes between 1st and 2nd place. So it is possible that the Dh will shoot back up in the next few weeks and knock the Barbarian off its throne.
The Necromancer has not yet reached level 150 – The Dh seems to be clearly superior
In World of Warcraft Classic, many players are currently feeling frustrated. They are still waiting for Ahn’Qiraj – as it simply does not want to open.
In World of Warcraft Classic, there are again quite a few issues. Players on the large, busy realms hardly notice anything. However, the “smaller” realms are experiencing significant difficulties as a promised feature is simply not working. That is why many servers still cannot participate in the fun in Ahn’Qiraj.
What is the problem? In the current raid Ahn’Qiraj of World of Warcraft, players can only access it if the gates of Ahn’Qiraj have already been opened on their realm. This not only requires the completion of a very long quest line that makes a player the Scarab Lord, but also a massive gathering effort from the entire realm. Both factions need to farm and submit hundreds of thousands of resources for the Horde and Alliance troops to set out.
In fact, there is an “Auto-Complete” feature here. It is supposed to ensure that WoW collects resources “on its own” after some time, thus inevitably advancing the event’s progress. However, this is still not the case even after more than 40 days. The tally on many realms has hardly changed.
That is why it is frustrating: Already in the event’s announcement, Blizzard stated that the game would “automatically” collect resources after a while, allowing the completion of the large gathering quest to happen on its own. Apparently, many players on the slightly quieter realms relied on this and are now left disappointed.
Many players are still locked out of Ahn’Qiraj.
The concern of many players is: Ahn’Qiraj will not open for weeks or months because the automatic collection is missing. On full realms, players completed it already on day one. The fear is that Ahn’Qiraj on these realms will only open very late or might not open at all – perhaps even only after the next major patch that will bring Naxxramas. In that case, thousands of players would miss an entire raid tier, resulting in a significant part of the Classic experience being lost.
There has been no response from Blizzard on this issue so far. However, since the problem is currently flaring up almost daily in the WoW Classic subreddit, it is only a matter of time before a corresponding fix is implemented.
Is your realm also affected by the issue? Or are you playing on one of the full realms that completed the event already on day one?

Streamer DrDisrespect expresses his enthusiasm for the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. According to his statements, the new installment could be the “best Call of Duty” of all time.
What happened: In the YouTube stream on September 2, DrDisrespect talks about the new CoD installment. In his opinion, it seems to sound really good right now, and the fact that the studio Treyarch is developing the new installment speaks for Cold War. There is already a lot of information about Cold War.
He then names several points as to why this CoD could be even better than Black Ops 2, which for many CoD veterans, including DrDisrespect, was probably the best CoD of all time.
“The best CoD of all time” – But why?
This is the stream: First, we are embedding the stream from YouTube. DrDisrespect now streams on YouTube after he was permanently banned from Twitch. Starting at 43:20, the streamer talks about the new CoD:

The streamer brings up several points. In summary, he says: “It will be fantastic, and I will say it right away, I believe that Cold War will be better than Black Ops 2. I know, I said it, I believe it will be the best Call of Duty of all time.”
Why does the streamer think that? For the first point, he names the developer studio Treyarch. This studio has already been behind other Black Ops installments and, in his opinion, always delivered strong performances. Treyarch “never misses” with their releases, according to DrDisrespect.
He also mentions that the CoD league will return to a 4v4 format with Cold War. In Modern Warfare, it has been a 5v5 format, which caused confusion for many teams. After all, they had to bring in an extra team member, which will be reverted back in Cold War.
In conclusion, the streamer explains in one sentence why Cold War will be the best CoD of all time: “I think with everything happening with Warzone, the Battle Royale, and cross-play there, plus the introduction of a new Treyarch title and the return to 4v4, you just know it.”
DrDisrespect primarily holds the development of Warzone, the new 4v4, and the developer Treyarch responsible for making Cold War so strong.
How do other players see this? The sentiment around Cold War is good. Generally, players are looking forward to the new CoD installment, although there are some doubts here and there.
