The big decision about World of Warcraft Shadowlands has been made. A major wish of the players will not be fulfilled. We reveal what this means.
In recent days, there have been wild discussions surrounding the upcoming expansion Shadowlands. The hashtag #PullTheRipcord has been making the rounds and has repeatedly caused heated debates. Now the game’s Game Director, Ion Hazzikostas, has addressed a blog post and clarified Blizzard’s position. The ‘ripcord’ will not be pulled. The covenant system will remain as it is.
What was the ripcord? The term comes from an interview with the streamer Preach. It was about dissatisfaction with the current covenant system in Shadowlands, as the abilities mean a lot of power for the player characters. Since covenants cannot simply be changed – and neither can the abilities – many players wish for the covenant abilities to function like talents and be freely exchangeable. Lifting these restrictions was the “ripcord” that was to be pulled.
Wild discussions in the forums – but the covenants remain as they are.
No ripcord, covenants remain as they are
This is what Hazzikostas has said: In a lengthy blog post, Hazzikostas explained Blizzard’s position and justified why they will not pull this ripcord. The covenant system will largely come as the players currently know it from the beta. He stated:
None of this means that the development of covenants and their functions is complete or that we are not open to further changes. We are far from it. We understand that we are offering a selection of competing covenants with strengths and weaknesses. If we are not careful, especially with regard to pressure from the community, the weaknesses can easily overshadow the strengths. The satisfaction of having an advantage in certain content does not outweigh the frustration of being completely excluded in other content.
However, while it may seem easiest to tear down the whole system to prevent a major calamity, we are committed to working with the community to ensure that all players feel viable, regardless of which covenant they have chosen.
Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft.
Why is nothing changing? Hazzikostas also elaborated on various reasons. They maintain that players do not need even more decisions to adapt before each fight. With talents, specializations, gear, and conduits, they already have a wide array. However, a covenant should be part of the character’s identity and not be permanently exchangeable.
At the same time, the covenant abilities would not be systems that could be “just released” like that. Covenants and their abilities are one of the cornerstones of Shadowlands. Each covenant ability can be changed by conduits and soulbinds. That would mean that not only the abilities but also the soulbinds of all covenants would have to be made freely selectable. However, that would mean that all players would need to play through the campaigns of all covenants, as the soulbinds are unlocked through the story. The covenant system simply could not logically survive in this form.
In short, this means: If we pull this thread (or cord), it would dissolve the entire structure of the system. Even though we would take on the necessary work to renew the covenant system in this way if we agree it would be an improvement – in the end, we do not agree with this view.
Blizzard is listening, will continue to adjust: Lastly, he explained that some community concerns are indeed being heard. If, for example, the Kyrian covenant is completely unpopular for rogues because the abilities and soulbinds are not strong enough, then changes may occur. All covenants should feel equally strong. There is still a lot of balancing to be done on the actual numbers, so the current strength of the abilities is not yet representative of the final outcome.
For Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the multiplayer mode has been revealed. However, the trailer and the associated information have not convinced all fans. Many are concerned that so many vehicles were shown. And the new scorestreak system is also viewed with skepticism. However, almost everyone is excited about the new zombies.
This can be seen in the trailer: The first major multiplayer reveal of Black Ops Cold War showcased a lot of explosions reminiscent of a fast-paced action blockbuster. Soldiers were running around, shooting each other in rapid succession. The action took place in locations such as Moscow, Miami, Uzbekistan, and at sea. At the very end, the popular zombies even appeared for a few seconds.

The infamous multiplayer trailer.
Players criticize vehicles
This is the problem with the vehicles: The trailer prominently featured the many vehicles. Soldiers were often seen in SUVs, motorcycles, jet skis, helicopters, and even a tank. This annoyed many players immensely, as they would love to play CoD in multiplayer specifically for the action on small maps. Vehicles, on the other hand, only make sense on large maps and would make the whole game look like a “casual version” of Battlefield.
Broskah: “They really are trying to turn CoD into BF. I play CoD for fast 6v6, not for Ground War.”
15-Cent: “Honestly, I’m not feeling anything here […] I was hoping for classic small Treyarch maps, but what they showcased looks like a Battlefield game.”
That’s why this might not be so bad: However, many players quickly pointed out that the shown vehicles likely all come from the Combined Arms mode. A mode where 12vs12 players fight for dominance on a large map, and vehicles are a good tool for that.
The classic 6vs6 deathmatch and familiar modes will still be available, but the developers likely wanted to focus more on the new experiences.
However, that still bothers some players because if one wants to play such large maps with vehicles, they would just go for Battlefield.
Longer TTK, meaning the time until a kill is achieved
No tactical sprinting
No doors
No weapon mounting
Fewer parkour elements
Simpler level design
This is seen as an advantage by some fans because, among other things, the weapon mounting mechanic in MW led to campers being particularly effective in waiting with a mounted weapon.
Additionally, the loud doors in MW were a major nuisance, and various fans are glad they are gone in Cold War.
This is what’s up with the scorestreaks: Another point that irritates many players even before the release concerns the scorestreaks. These are rewards that players earn through kills and completing objectives in the game. For example, an airstrike or special weapons that are dropped onto the battlefield.
Unlike in Modern Warfare, players will now likely retain their progress after dying. This means that even players who die often can start a good streak if they collect points.
Such bombings are typical scorestreaks.
This does not sit well with many players who want to award such rewards only to players who are actually racking up kills and objectives without dying multiple times.
The opinion of user Manoli20 summarizes this well: “The fact that scorestreaks aren’t reset after death is a slap in the face of CoD’s legacy.”
Zombies make everyone happy: However, where practically all fans agreed was on the zombies at the end of the trailer. The creepy undead have always been a feature that resonates well with some fans. Especially in the CoD titles developed by Treyarch, like Cold War. They invented the whole zombie concept and are considered the masters of the undead.
Yeah, zombies!
Therefore, fans are also extremely excited about the upcoming zombie mode, even if they only saw a few seconds of it, as user Sasukeluffy writes: “3 seconds of zombie gameplay and I’m already hyped! Just two more months!”
What did you think of the multiplayer reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War? Do you not care about the vehicles because you don’t play the 12vs12 mode anyway, or are you annoyed that the developers even spend time on it? If it’s up to streamers like Dr Disrespect, then the new Call of Duty should be the best CoD of all time.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Multiplayer games are great for passing the time. But sometimes you just don’t have that much. That’s why we at MeinMMO want to know which games with short matches you prefer to play.

The development studio Digital Extremes announced that the popular online game Warframe will receive a slimming makeover, which will also bring an aesthetic enhancement.
What did the developers announce? Warframe is too large. Therefore, after the major expansion Heart of Deimos, updates will be made to reduce the installation size. Additionally, a new texture compression technology will be employed, allowing for better visuals even as file sizes shrink.
By how much will Warframe be smaller? The first update is set to release next week for PC and will reduce the game’s size by 6.6 GB. However, you will need to download an update of 6.5 GB first. Following this, there will be more updates by the end of the year, freeing up a total of 15 GB of disk space. Currently, the game occupies between 30 GB and approximately 48 GB depending on the system.
According to Digital Extremes, not only the PC version will benefit; most other platforms will also undergo this slimming treatment. The studio has not yet revealed when exactly this will happen or which specific platforms are involved.
Players have no more space for Warframe
Why is this necessary? According to the developers, the highly successful Warframe has grown so large over the past 8 years that some players can no longer install the online game on smaller SSDs and have to switch to slower HDDs, leading to longer loading times.
In order for players to continue installing Warframe on fast SSDs and enjoy short loading times, this slimming makeover is now taking place.
Here you can see a comparison of how Warframe looks before and after the overhaul.
Why will Warframe also look better at the same time? The developers are using a new technology called Oodle Texture to re-save the textures in the game. This makes the files smaller, but the quality of the textures will be higher than before. This means that the new compression method is more effective than the current one.
You will see prettier textures in the game. But that’s not all. The lightmaps in the game will also be revised. These have been modified to make lights in the game look even better. Additionally, there will be an optimization of the so-called normal maps, which provide depth structure.
Overall, these revisions should visibly enhance Warframe visually.
As a player of Warframe, you benefit in two ways: The game gets smaller, but looks better at the same time.
What do you think of this overhaul? Are you looking forward to the smaller but prettier Warframe?
For only €3.99 per month, you could subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass for PC. However, this offer won’t last long. Hurry if you want to save now.
What is changing with the Xbox Game Pass for PC? Previously, the Game Pass on PC already offered many advantages. Users could play new games like Microsoft Flight Simulator or even Crusader Kings 3 on the very first day without having to purchase the game. A subscription for €3.99 per month (only €1 in the first month) was sufficient.
However, the price is now going to be raised and will soon be about double.
How much will the Xbox Game Pass for PC cost? On September 17, 2020, the price for the Game Pass on PC is expected to double. For customers in Germany, this means that instead of €3.99, you will then pay €9.99 monthly.
However, this applies only to the next billing date. If you already have an existing subscription for the Xbox Game Pass for PC or sign up before September 17, you will still pay the current price until the next billing date. So either €1 for new users or €3.99 if you have used the subscription before.
Xbox confirmed on Twitter that the introductory price for this service will no longer be available.

These games regularly rotate – old ones leave, new ones come in. To play them, you only need to pay the monthly subscription costs.
Currently, you will find hits like:
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Crusader Kings III
Football Manager 2020
Minecraft Dungeons
Sea of Thieves
Subnautica
The good thing is: If you have always wanted to try one of these games but are not willing to pay the full price for it, you can sneak in for the subscription costs. For example, grab Crusader Kings 3 for €1 (for first-time customers, otherwise €3.99) instead of paying the full price of €50 for the game. This way, you have the chance to peek in for a month. With our beginner’s guide to Crusader Kings III you will succeed in starting your way into the complex strategy game.
New partnership with EA: If you were previously not convinced by the Pass, you will probably be pleased with the changes that Microsoft shared simultaneously with the introduction of the new Xbox Series X.
For you, this means that the more than 100 games from the current Game Pass will be expanded by more than 60 from EA. This includes titles such as:
FIFA 20
Titanfall 2
Need for Speed Heat
Battlefield
Mass Effect
The Sims
Using these games is free for customers of the Xbox Game Pass for PC. So there is no additional cost. This means that the library of this offer is growing significantly.
Are you taking advantage of the offer now before the prices go up?
The highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer reveal has just taken place. Treyarch and Activision revealed a lot about the multiplayer aspect. We summarize all the important information in a comprehensive overview so that you don’t miss any info or detail.
On September 9, it was finally time. Besides a new trailer, the developers published a ton of new information through their own blog and selected partner sites. You can find the most important bits in a compact overview in this article.
Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Release Date: If you’re wondering when you can finally dive into the multiplayer battles of the new Call of Duty 2020 – CoD Black Ops Cold War will be released worldwide on November 13, 2020.

CoD Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer – Everything we know so far after the reveal
In general, the current status of the multiplayer in Black Ops Cold War suggests: It builds on numerous positive aspects of Modern Warfare 2019, enriching them with various unique twists and also bringing back some iconic features from the past.
General features of the Black Ops Cold War multiplayer
Deniable Ops: Deniable Ops essentially represent a new system that will allow the multiplayer maps in Black Ops Cold War, as well as the campaign, to tell a cohesive story.
Some maps are based on real-life events, while others are in-house creations by Treyarch that allow you to dive deeper into global conflicts during the Cold War. For instance, at the start of a round, operators will discuss certain details about the respective map in dialogues.
3D Sound: Players will be able to accurately hear from which direction sounds like footsteps or shots are coming. This is ensured by the new 3D sound system of the engine.
Score Streaks instead of Kill Streaks: Black Ops Cold War deviates from the kill streak system of Modern Warfare and brings back the so-called Score Streaks. This means: Instead of gathering kills for powerful attack rewards, you now earn points through various actions like capturing objectives or even kills.
However, there is a significant change with Score Streaks: The points do not reset upon death. While point chains within a life contribute more to your score, rewarding good players more, beginners also benefit more frequently from napalm strikes or artillery strikes. Additionally, there is now a cooldown of 90 seconds to prevent spamming of powerful strikes.
Currently, the following Score Streaks are known:
Remote-controlled car with explosives
Spy plane
Artillery strike
Napalm bomb strike
Jets against enemy air score streaks
Grenade launcher with high explosive ammunition
Attack helicopter
Helicopter gunner
New Movement System: The movement system has been revamped with Black Ops Cold War. There is now a so-called sprint take-off. This means you get a higher speed boost at the beginning of a sprint, which then decreases and transitions into the normal sprint speed after a short period. This allows you to sprint indefinitely.
Jumping has also been made more realistic. The jump height is now more natural, and you will be slowed down after landing. Furthermore, sliding now starts and ends in a crouched position, making this movement feel more natural. By the way, you can also swim and dive on some maps.
Time to Kill: The fears of many players have not come true. The TTK is still brief and comparable to that of CoD Modern Warfare.
All currently confirmed weapons in gameplay: It’s no secret that there will be plenty of weapons. YouTuber Inkslasher has already captured gameplay of all currently confirmed weapons from Black Ops Cold War. You can see it here:

Crossplay and Cross-Generation-Play: Black Ops Cold War offers both crossplay and cross-generation play in multiplayer. In short: All platforms can play together – whether PS4 with Xbox Series X and PC, or PS4 with PS5.
Further innovations and changes:
There are no more doors on the MP maps
Theater Mode is back, allowing you to record your matches
A visible health bar is back but can be turned off
The classic mini-map is back, displaying all shots without a suppressor for all players. There is now also a compass display at the top
There is auto-heal; your health regenerates after a while automatically
Multiplayer modes in CoD Black Ops Cold War
From small skirmishes to large-scale shootouts and vehicles, a lot is offered in multiplayer.
Classic modes: Many beloved classics such as Team Deathmatch, Search & Destroy, Domination, Kill Confirmed, or Control will be available to you. But that’s not all.
New modes: Some new modes will also spice up the multiplayer, such as:
VIP Escort: 6vs6. A random player is appointed as the VIP and must be protected or hunted depending on the team. The VIP only has a pistol, a smoke grenade, and a UAV at their disposal. The protection team tries to get the VIP out of the zone while the other team tries to eliminate them.
Connected Arms: 12vs12 with infantry and vehicles. Depending on the map, there are tanks, speedboats, snowmobiles, or helicopters.
Fireteam: Up to 10 four-man teams (i.e., 40 players) fighting for a dirty bomb. More information will follow.
The multiplayer maps in Black Ops Cold War
The new maps are beautifully and diversely designed. They take you through numerous areas of the world and once again offer the classic three-lanes design in Black Ops Cold War.
Fighting takes place on land, in the air, and in water. You can storm head-on, sneak through the shadows, or carve your way through water, relocating the fight to another location.
These maps are known:
Armada: This map takes place in the North Atlantic and leads you over ships and gunboats.
Crossroads: The map takes you to Uzbekistan. Tanks and snowmobiles are used here.
Miami: Fight your way through the neon-lit streets of Ocean Drive.
Moscow: Here, a Spetsnaz unit and a CIA team clash amidst street battles.
Satellite: Here you fight in the heart of Central Africa, in the Angolan desert.
Is that all? No, these five maps are only a representative sample. They are just part of many maps that will be available at launch.
Vehicles: Depending on the map and mode, different vehicles may be available to you. Among them are:
Dirt bike
Buggy
Snowmobile
Jet skis
Patrol boats
Speedboats
Helicopters
Tanks
The loadout system in Black Ops Cold War
Here, Black Ops Cold War mixes the system from Modern Warfare and previous Black Ops installments.
Gunsmith: The gunsmith feature from CoD MW will also be in Cold War, but not as extensive. While there are still plenty of customization options, you can’t modify the weapons to the same extent. For example, you can no longer simply turn an AK-47 into an AK SU.
Each weapon has eight points where various attachments like optics, underbarrel attachments, or stocks can be attached. Each attachment impacts specific properties of the weapon. The following attachment categories are available:
Optics
Muzzle
Barrel
Underbarrel
Body
Stock
Magazine
Grip
“Create a Class” editor: Players can also assemble a custom loadout in the “Create a Class” menu from
Wildcards: The wildcards affect your loadout. Depending on which wildcard you choose, you can carry more equipment, have two primary weapons with you, unlock three additional attachment slots for your weapon (allowing you to use all 8 attachment slots), or equip three additional perks (6 total).
Field Upgrades: The field upgrades from Modern Warfare also return. These can be selected in Create a Class, charge over time in matches, and can then be used. You have access to the following:
Proximity Mine
Anti-air missile turret
Jamers
Field Mic
Black Ops Cold War and Warzone
The free battle royale will continue to evolve and expand with CoD: Black Ops Cold War. The continuity within Warzone will be preserved while incorporating elements from Black Ops Cold War.
How does it work with Warzone? The Black Ops Cold War theme and weapons and operators will be introduced in Warzone. With the battle pass to Black Ops Cold War, Warzone will also receive new content. Additionally, there will be cross-progression between Warzone and Cold War.
Warzone players will also continue to have access to previously earned Warzone content from Modern Warfare, such as weapons, operators, blueprints, equipment, cosmetics, and more. However, content from Modern Warfare can only be used in Warzone and Modern Warfare – not in Black Ops Cold War.
The Battle Pass in CoD Black Ops Cold War: There will also be a battle pass for Black Ops Cold War in the style of Modern Warfare, with a free and a paid rewards branch.
All gameplay-relevant content like new base weapons will still be completely available through the free branch, which is accessible to all.
New content such as maps or zombie experiences will be released for free and simultaneously across all platforms after launch.
What about Zombies? Coop and zombie fans can rejoice. Because traditionally, as is customary for a Treyarch title, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will contain the much-loved zombie mode for many players.
In the course of the multiplayer reveal, there were also fresh details about the upcoming beta of Black Ops Cold War.
When does the multiplayer beta start? The beta on PS4, Xbox One, and PC will start in October. However, the exact dates depend on your platform and whether you have access to early access or not. For precise details on the respective dates and how you can participate in the beta, check here:
In League of Legends, Season 10 is coming to an end. Riot Games has now provided an outlook on the changes of Pre-Season 11, which will begin in November. Among other things, the completely new Mythic Items will be introduced.
What will change? The Pre-Season aims to bring larger changes that can be thoroughly tested after the Worlds 2020 are over and before the new tournaments and rankings start in Season 11.
The following innovations are planned for Pre-Season 11:
There will be a major overhaul of items and the shop.
New Mythic Items will be introduced.
Healing effects will generally be reduced, as they have become excessive.
The cooldown reduction will be revised, so it will be called “Ability Haste” in the future and will scale linearly instead of exponentially.
Tenacity, the value against CC effects, will now also work against knock-ups.
A release from Riot Pls regarding the new Mythic Items has now been published. In the developer’s video, the system behind it was explained in detail. We at MeinMMO will present it to you in detail.

What are the Mythic Items? These new items are items of which you can only have one at a time. They are particularly powerful, have a passive effect that enhances your other “finished items”, and are intended to serve as cornerstones of your build.
The appearance of the items was showcased by lead designer Mark “Scruffy” Yetter on Twitter. He posted three images showing AD items:
The Crimson Shieldbow is intended for AD champions who want a bit more defense in the form of life steal and a shield.
The Behemoth Slayer is completely focused on damage.
Galeforce is an item that has a dash as an active effect, which can be particularly useful when enemies can pull you in, for example, with Thresh or Blitzcrank.

Not all Mythic Items are intended to be completely new. Some older items will be adjusted and upgraded to a Mythic Item.
In general, Riot has stated that they are reviewing all 200 items in the game and making adjustments to ensure they fulfill their purpose. About 1/3 should remain the same, 1/3 slightly adjusted, and 1/3 completely revised:
Jungle items will no longer be expandable with gold after the first purchase, similar to support items.
AD carries will receive more strategic options, e.g., an item with AD + armor.
Mages will also get more options, including an item that supports massive range.
AD assassins will receive new late-game items.
For tanks, items with more versatility and magic resistance are planned.
AP fighters will get a new option whose first item has no mana, but contains defensive stats – including the new item Cursed Demonhelm, which was shown in the video.
One of the new items in Pre-Season 11.
However, it is important to note that the entire system is still under construction and further changes will be made before November.
New Shop Interface: Along with the Mythic Items, a new shop will also be introduced. The new version aims to be clearer and more user-friendly.
The item recommendations are also expected to improve and become significantly “smarter”.
Screenshot of the new shop from the “Riot Pls” video.
When can the changes be tested? According to Mark Yetter, the innovations are expected to be available soon on the PBE, the test server of LoL. Currently, the changes for patch 10.19 are being implemented, which will also bring Set 4 for the Auto Chess Teamfight Tactics and the new LoL champion Samira.
Every two weeks, there is typically an update for LoL, which usually brings balance adjustments to items and champions. Two changes during Season 10 led to Shen being rediscovered as a jungler. He was especially popular in Season 2 and 3.
But one accusation the MMO shooter must endure: The story is told in a convoluted way, and sometimes storylines are left unresolved for years or players are tossed lore puzzle pieces that they must piece together themselves.
Spoiler Warning: From this point on, reading is at your own risk.
Fans and lore experts in the community are incessantly speculating, coming up with the wildest theories. Who will succeed Cayde and what will happen to the Warmind Rasputin has now been clarified in a quest.
This is what the quest is about: With the weekly reset on September 8, players were finally able to complete the major evacuation quest that players have been eagerly awaiting since the start of Season 11. These events are recorded in the lore book “Duress and Engress” (Duress and Engress).
What the exotic reward “Chosen of the Traveler” has to offer from the quest, you can read here in the review from MeinMMO:
The Great Evacuation Didn’t Go Quite According to Plan
During the evacuation due to the encroaching darkness in the form of pyramid ships, not all characters managed to reach the Tower safely:
Sloane voluntarily stayed on Titan and, in Titan fashion, screamed to fend off the Hive when the pyramid ships began their attack.
Asher Mir descended into the depths of the Pyramidion on Io and ensured that the darkness could not set foot in the Vex construct.
Brother Vance left the Lighthouse on Mercury and encountered an alternative version of himself in the Infinite Forest – one of them was immediately brutally murdered.
Ana Bray was able to safely leave Mars.
Whether Sloane and Asher died in their efforts is not entirely clear. However, with Ana’s escape, the questions regarding Cayde’s succession and Rasputin’s fate have been clarified.
Vance, Sloan, Ana, Asher, and a Sweeper Bot
Theory 1 – Will Cayde’s Killer Actually Be His Successor?
Who will be the new Hunter leader? When Uldren shot Cayde 2 years ago, a scream went through the community. The most popular Destiny character has been mourned since then, and his position as leader of the Hunters has been vacant since Forsaken. With Ana’s arrival at the Tower, the experienced hunter naturally speaks with Commander Zavala about succession.
Just as Ana is about to decline the position, she hears that she isn’t even considered for it. After all, she didn’t kill Cayde.
This confirms Zavala’s “Vanguard Dare,” a sort of bet or promise where surviving Hunters take on the leader’s position. Similarly, the former space pirate Cayde came to the job.
Uldren was held accountable and resurrected as a Guardian by the Traveler
This seems to confirm the theory that Uldren will indeed be one of the good guys. Currently, Cayde’s killer wanders the Cosmodrome as a freshly awakened Guardian without memories.
Theory 2 – The Powerful Warmind Will Soon Learn to Walk
What about Rasputin? In Season 10, we were able to turn the dangerous Warmind AI to our side. With his help, the Last City was saved at the last second from an alien ship crashing from orbit.
Since then, the Warmind has lost many feathers and has been brought to the brink of extinction by the encroaching darkness. To save him, Ana has coded him into an Engram and came to the Tower with a mysterious, experimental Exo chassis.
What form will Rasputin’s Exo body take?
This confirms what many lore experts have suspected for some time: Rasputin is getting a robot body. Whether he will become a standard Exo or still command the most powerful weapons from the Golden Age remains unclear.
Do you also struggle to accept Uldren as Cayde’s successor, or does everyone deserve a second chance – after all, he was cursed back then? And what do you think about seeing the solar system-spanning Rasputin crammed into a robo-body?
With Spellbreak, a new battle royale game has launched for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. We will tell you how it is received by players and what makes it so interesting.
Genre-typical, the map gets smaller and thus the fights become more intense. In addition, you also need to look for loot in the form of magical gloves. These help you to last longer. The gloves provide you with new spells that you can even combine. Whoever is the last one standing wins.
How is Spellbreak received? The free-to-play online game was released on September 3 for PC via the Epic Games Store, for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. On Metacritic, players have already posted their opinions. These are very positive. The current meta user score is 8.9 out of 10 points.
It shows that Spellbreak is a very fun and entertaining game that brings fresh wind into the battle royale genre. The fast-paced fights with the combinable spells and the smooth gameplay are well received. Additionally, it is possible to fly across the map. Players sometimes feel like Harry Potter.
Furthermore, players praise the graphics, which although not reaching the level of CoD: Warzone, is still consistent and runs well on mid-range PCs.
Spellbreak offers an atmospheric style graphically.
This is what players say: We summarize some of the statements from Spellbreak players on the Metacritic website for you.
Embara626 explains: “Usually, I am not a big fan of battle royale games, but when I saw the gameplay for this title in the early beta phase, I knew I had to try it. Being able to fly over the map and hurl fireballs and lightning from my fingertips… It was like reliving every fantasy I had as a child as a fan of Star Wars and Harry Potter.”
Hyaljaber says: “The game is so fluid and really fun, especially when you don’t take it seriously or approach it too aggressively. Learning a new glove is easy, but perfecting the spell is hard, which I find nice. The progression system is amazing, and the talents you get really change the play style.”
Xylated writes: “The only PvP game I’ve enjoyed playing again for a while. Every match has something satisfying to offer, with a huge variety in play style and choices.”
MandaraAaa likes the game: “It’s a whole new kind of battle royale. The potential is really high, the matches have been fantastic so far.”
stingingend finds the balancing not yet refined: “It’s not well-balanced. A giant map for not enough players. It’s fun but the balancing and the map ruin it for me.”
losttotime is frustrated by some bugs: “It’s still pretty buggy, even though they’ve been doing alphas and betas for almost two years. Aside from that, it is definitely fun.”
In summary, it can be said that there are still balancing problems and bugs in Spellbreak, but the fluid gameplay and fun fights are very well received – even by players who usually don’t have much to do with battle royale.
Have you already tried Spellbreak? What do you think of the game?
Today, Thursday, September 10th, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS, Android). During this time, the new Update 14.10 will be deployed. What’s in the new patch?
Update 14:25: The Update 14.10 is now here. We will show you in the German patch notes what has changed.
It seems to be a rather large update (on PC), as Fortnite Status mentioned in a comment under the Twitter post. For the other platforms, the patch size shouldn’t be larger.
Before players can embark on an adventure, the servers will be shut down, as usual.
Fortnite servers will be shut down – when and how long?
Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for Update 14.10 started at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM, you could join a new match for the last time, after which the servers were shut down and Fortnite was down for a short time.
How long will the maintenance take? Based on experiences from the last weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon.
Technical problems or other delays may lead to an extension of the maintenance work. If this happens, you will find out here at MeinMMO.
When will the patch notes be released? Based on past experiences with updates in the new chapter of Fortnite, it’s likely that no patch notes will be released for the battle royale mode again.
If this happens again today, we will compile the major changes for you and publish them in the form of German patch notes.
What new content does Update 14.10 bring?
What new features will there be in the battle royale mode? Fortnite Status left a hint in the tweet: “Ease the action”. Could this be a hint about a new superhero coming into the Fortnite world?
After all, there is only one mini-boss on the map and it’s likely that more will follow. Perhaps this update will add a new one.
So far, there is only the hideout of Doctor Doom from the Marvel Universe visible
What does the update bring for the “Save the World” mode? The last update for Fortnite’s PvE mode launched the first new seasonal season in Save the World and brought some content.
Some had already suspected it, now it’s officially confirmed: ArcheAge 2 is coming and according to the developer studio XL Games, we can expect a huge MMORPG.
What exactly did XL Games announce? The game, which is currently being developed by the studio in collaboration with Kakao Games, is indeed ArcheAge 2. Until now, one could only speculate based on job postings, but now it’s official.
XL Games explains that ArcheAge 2 offers the same freedoms as its predecessor ArcheAge. It is therefore again a sandbox MMORPG, but it is supposed to be massive. There is talk of a next-gen AAA MMORPG.
What ArcheAge 2 will ultimately look like is still unclear. So far, there is only this artwork for the game. The cover image shows a general artwork of an archer.
ArcheAge 2 is really coming!
This is what CEO Jake Song says about ArcheAge 2: The head of the development studio has big plans with the new MMORPG, which he is producing with an eye on the international market.
ArcheAge, which officially launched in early 2013, has already been running for more than seven years. Back then, I wanted to create a model for a new MMORPG that combines Lineage and WoW, and I think it has been well received in the market. I am particularly proud that more than half of the total revenue has been generated overseas, especially in North America and Europe.
I have the desire to now develop a great game with ArcheAge 2 that gains recognition for its success in the global market as well as for its quality.
Jake Song, CEO of XL Games
What do we know about the game? XL Games has not revealed much yet. We know that the new game is ArcheAge 2 and that a very large AAA MMORPG awaits us. In addition, players will have a lot of freedom in a sandbox world.
In addition, Unreal Engine 5 will be used. This is interesting in multiple ways:
The job postings for the new game in spring 2020 still referred to Unreal Engine 4. The development of the MMORPG thus started with this engine and the studio wants to switch to the new version upon the release of UE 5.
ArcheAge 2 is supposed to be inspired by its predecessor. The trailer shows how this game plays.
How many people are working on ArcheAge 2 and when will it be released? According to XL Games, more than 50 developers are currently working on ArcheAge 2.
The studio has not yet announced a release date. However, since the MMORPG is supposed to use Unreal Engine 5, which will not be available until 2021, a release is likely not to be expected before 2022.
What will happen to the predecessor after the release of ArcheAge 2 is still unclear. It is conceivable that both games will run in parallel for at least a while. However, it is also possible that with the release of the sequel, ArcheAge 1 will be shut down. Here, however, the international publishers will certainly have a say.
Are you looking forward to ArcheAge 2? What do you expect from the new MMORPG?
Today marks the launch of the new and currently final DLC for Borderlands 3. In “Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck”, things are just as crazy as the name suggests.
When does DLC 4 start? The new DLC launches today, on September 10, 2020. It will be available for PS4, Xbox One, Steam, in the Epic Game Store, and on Stadia.
An official time has not been announced yet, but the patch with DLC support should be available by 6 PM at the latest. At least this has always been the case with previous DLCs.

How do I get DLC 4? The DLC is included in the Borderlands 3 Season Pass. If you have it, you just need to download the expansion as soon as it becomes available.
Additionally, the War DLC will be available for individual purchase in stores. However, the last DLCs were all released for individual download at a slightly later time – and that is likely to be the case with DLC 4 as well.
But what can you expect in the DLC? Here are the highlights of the new expansion.
Fight your way through War’s twisted psyche in DLC 4
This is what the DLC looks like: Even the name of the DLC, “Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck”, is so absurd that the German translation had to buckle. This already gives a hint of how wild the DLC will be.
Because: Scientist Tannis claims to have figured out that the psychos in the world of Borderlands are as crazy as they are because of the place “Kammerhalla”. You would like to ask the psycho badass brawler Krieg about it – but he usually just yells.
You will encounter a wicked train. Naturally.
So, it goes into the mind of the psycho. You will be a firsthand witness to War’s inner struggle, as he has a split personality: You will encounter both the raging killing machine and the calm version of Krieg. With both, you will try to escape War’s mind alive.
This will not be easy, as expected, because the mind of a psycho is plagued by pretty wild thoughts. Just about everything wants to kill you – there is even an angry train named “Locomobius” that has it out for some of Krieg’s memories. You can get a first impression of the gameplay here in this IGN video:

Who is roaming around in Krieg’s mind? Since everything in War’s psyche stems from the crazy imagination of the psycho, there are no limits for the characters (see: evil train flying around). This means you can expect not only crazy enemy types but also familiar faces.
You will encounter one or two familiar faces again
The trailer already showed brief glimpses of the vault hunters Lilith, Brick, and Maya – but all through the chaotic filter of War’s memory. Accordingly, one should perhaps expect that they may not all appear in the form we know them. It remains to be seen if more old acquaintances are lounging in War’s memory.
Scoop up even more loot
New gear in the DLC: Keeping track of all the weapons in Borderlands 3 is quite challenging. And the new DLC will again provide new loot: There are new weapons, gear, and cosmetics. Everything you find in War’s mind can also be used outside of his consciousness. All loot also scales with the level of your vault hunter.
Additionally, a max level increase to level 65 is on the way. So it’s worth it to go loot-hunting again and collect better weapons. This is especially fun with multiple players – after all, Borderlands 3 currently belongs to the best multiplayer online shooters.

Do you need a new excuse for being late in World of Warcraft ? Soon the game will provide it, as the new login screen along with music does just that.
You can always tell that the beta of a WoW expansion is nearing its end by the implementation of (almost) the last features. The new login screen along with new music, which will presumably accompany players for almost two years, has now appeared in the beta of Shadowlands.
This is the new login screen: In true classic WoW tradition, the new login screen of Shadowlands shows the portal to the namesake Shadowlands. It gapes in the sky above the Frost Throne, where the veil between Azeroth and the Shadowlands was torn apart. How this came to be can be seen in the cool intro cinematic of the next expansion. Although there is not much to see, you can still spot the peak of Torghast, protruding from the Shadowlands.
This is the new login music: Along with the new login screen, there is also a new soundtrack waiting for players starting from the pre-patch 9.0. The nearly 11-minute music piece mixes the well-known war drums with the more mystical sounds from Icecrown and newer tracks from the Shadowlands, such as Ardenweald or Torghast.
It’s better to listen to it directly because let’s be honest: With Shadowlands, you’d rather be playing than just listening to the music on the login screen. However, if you do start it, then at least it’s a valid excuse for being 11 minutes late to the raid in Shadowlands .

Nowadays, the login screen is usually just a small thing. Most players spend about 3 seconds on it after launching World of Warcraft through the Battle.net app. Only those who have to enter their password manually
What do you think about the new music and the login screen? Cool and fitting? Or did you prefer those from previous expansions?
In Pokémon GO there is a bargain to be had again starting today. Players who enjoy playing raids from home should be pleased.
Update, 10:01 PM: You can now find the new package for 1 coin in the Pokémon GO shop!
Update, 4:20 PM: So far, the bundle is still unavailable. Since Niantic does not specify an exact time in the announcement, a release sometime during the evening is also feasible. Currently, speculation is the only way to address the exact time. At 10:00 PM, the legendary raid boss will switch from Heatran to Cresselia – it’s possible that the passes will come to the shop at this occasion.
Update, 12:50 PM: As of now, the new pass bundle has not appeared in the shop. It remains to be seen when the box will be available.
What’s new? As Niantic announced on Twitter, a new bundle with three Remote Raid Passes will be available in the shop on September 10. It will cost only one coin again – normally, a bundle of 3 passes costs a total of 250 coins. Such a raid “gift” has been offered at the beginning of the month already.

So anyone who needs new Remote Raid Passes should log in to Pokémon GO starting today. Most players still likely have the one coin in their account. If not, it’s enough to complete the daily tasks for coins or briefly take over a gym.
How do I get the gift? The pass bundle will appear in the Pokémon GO Shop. This means: You just need to click on the small Pokéball at the bottom center of your screen to go to the main menu of the game and then click on “Shop”. Normally, the gift boxes appear directly at the top of the shop under “limited time only”, just below your daily free box.
This is how the gift was found last time
What else should be noted? Anyone who currently has three raid passes in their inventory should at least spend one of them. Otherwise, they will likely not be able to secure the offer – at least that was the case with previous comparable offers. Also, you can only use the offer once, so don’t expect a new free raid box every day.
What’s currently in raids?
Here you can use the passes: On Thursday evening, the raid boss Heatran was replaced by Cresselia. Those who do not yet have the monster in their ranks can use the passes for that, for example.
The first gift appeared shortly after the introduction of Mega Evolutions and matched the new Mega event. The second week of this event starts this Friday – it’s quite possible that this is the reason for the new gift.
During the Houndoom week, trainers are supposed to use Mega Evolutions in battles. And to get those, you need to complete a lot of Mega Raids.

The FIFA 21 ratings are about to be released. However, this year seems to be different from what we’ve seen in the previous editions.
Update, September 10, 5:20 PM: The new ratings are known! Here you can find the highest FIFA 21 ratings at a glance!
When are the FIFA 21 ratings coming? As EA Sports announced on Twitter, at least the first ratings will be presented on Thursday, September 10. The release is scheduled for 5:00 PM.
FIFA 21 ratings without Top 100? That the first ratings are presented before the game’s launch is nothing new. However, in recent years, EA Sports always used a Top 100, usually with a countdown to the best players.
This year, however, EA Sports released the ratings teaser not with the Top 100 theme, but under the motto “The Ratings Collective”. You can see the teaser here:

This can be seen in the teaser: In the FIFA 21 Ratings Collective trailer, some of the FIFA 21 ambassadors like super talent Erling Haaland, Joao Felix, and cover star Kylian Mbappé can be seen. In addition, brief cards of players like Steven Bergwijn, Rodrygo, Mason Mount, Phil Foden, and Theo Hernandez are shown.
If you look closely, you can even recognize a few ratings briefly:
Mount seems to have an 80 in the trailer
Rodrygo is at 79
Bergwijn at 83
What connects these players? All these players can still be considered talents, none of them is older than 22 years. Just before the teaser reveal, EA Sports also posted graphics of Mount, Hernandez, Rodrygo, and Sergiño Dest – also a young talent playing for Ajax Amsterdam – and asked how the ratings for these players should look.

So the “Ratings Collective” seems to revolve around a group of talented players. It will be exciting to see if it is indeed these players that will receive their ratings on Thursday. It is also unclear how many player ratings EA Sports will release on Thursday.
It is also possible that “Ratings Collective” and “Top 100” do not exclude each other, and the best players will be announced at a later time. For context: Last year, the weakest player in the Top 100, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, had a rating of 85. Players like Mount, Rodrygo, or Bergwijn are all likely to be rated below 85, even if their ratings turn out to be higher than they seem in the trailer.
On Thursday afternoon, we will know more about it. Until then, we have summarized all the important information about the release of FIFA 21 at a glance.

In Destiny 2, players can show off cool titles. Is “Unbroken” really the rarest title and does everyone have “Wanderer”? We answer these and other questions in the ranking of the 18 titles.
These are titles in Destiny 2: In the titles, there are cool customizations for your Guardians. Alongside your gamer name, the prestigious title of your character is also visible to everyone else.
Update August 10, 2020: This article was originally published in February 2020 but has now been expanded with 5 titles from Seasons 9, 10, and 11 and updated with new data.
You can boast powerfully with the titles because they are usually tied to hard work, time-intensive grinding, or very tricky triumphs. However, in this article, we are concerned with which title is actually the rarest. So you can now factually state: My Guardian has the rarest one.
In Beyond Light, some changes to this system are coming, and some titles will even become unattainable:
Where does the data come from? The numbers presented in the article come from Charlemagne. This name refers both to Charlemagne and a Discord bot that provides statistics, event planning, and leaderboards related to Destiny 2.
At Warmind.Io, you can get all sorts of interesting data and facts about Destiny 2. However, the numbers should be taken with a grain of caution because they do not come officially from Bungie. As Destiny 2 grants third parties insight into its data via API, and Warmind.Io is used by many Guardians, clear trends can indeed be derived.
In Destiny lore, Charlemagne is said to be connected with the famous Warmind Rasputin.
Rank 18 – Dredgen
The Gambit title Dredgen is currently the most common title suffix. If you play Gambit frequently, you likely completed most of the required triumphs along the way. Since Bungie simplified the grind further, the Wandering has many new Dredgen colleagues.
The numbers say: 588,662 players own the Dredgen title. That means about 64% of users have this title. In comparison to the rarest titles, this number is astronomical.
The Drifter appoints you to Dredgen
Rank 17 – Wanderer
To be called aWanderer, you must be a true globetrotter. You need to traverse many planets and collect tons of gear. This is a labor title.
The numbers say: 296,754 can call themselves Wanderer. This corresponds to 33.5% of users. Interestingly, Wanderer is considered the least prestigious title, but it is actually considerably rarer than Dredgen.
The Savior is a so-called seasonal title. These could only be earned during the corresponding season and are related to the story that was experienced during this time. In Season 9, we rescued Saint-14 from the time storms and, of course, saved the entire universe along the way.
The numbers say: 252,953 Guardians have achieved the certified Savior title, which is 28.5%.
Once together with the idol Saint-14 to save the world
Rank 15 – Cursebreaker
With the title Cursebreaker, Guardians are honored who proved themselves in the Dreaming City. This includes, among other things, completion of the Shattered Throne, one of the most popular Destiny activities of all time.
The numbers say: 181,541 worthy Cursebreakers are counted by Warmind.Io. This corresponds to almost one-fifth, namely 20.5% of the relevant users.
The Dreaming City resembles a fairy tale fantasy world
Rank 14 – Almighty
The award Almighty is also a seasonal title. For this, players had to shoot down a Cabal fleet ship crashing to Earth from orbit in Season 10 alongside the powerful Warmind Rasputin.
The numbers say: Particularly devoted were 169,017 Guardians, to whom we now owe the survival of the Last City (19.1%).
The title MMXIX is currently no longer earnable and was tied to the Triumph Moments of 2019. It is the first title that came with a time limitation.
The numbers say: 148,402 Destiny players have the title MMXIX. In other words: 16.7% of users carry the Roman numerals that mean “2019”.
The armor of the Solstice reminds many Guardians (painfully) of the Triumph Moments
Rank 12 – Immortal
The title Immortal is still a seasonal title. This title suffix has not been reachable since Season 8. Those who fought back the allegedly “immortal” robots during the Vex Offensive may show that they were there.
The numbers say: With 145,820 users who have earned the Immortal title, this suffix is only slightly ahead of rank 11. This time it is 16.5% of users.
The suffix MMXX is tied to the currently ongoing Triumph Moments 2020. To be able to show off this title, you must show what you can do this year in all areas of Destiny.
The numbers say: So far, 73,638 users have triumphed, which corresponds to 8.3%. Unlike the Solstice event, which ended on September 8, you have until November 10 to meet all other requirements for this title.
During the period of the Triumph Moments 2020, the Solstice also took place
On the next page, we will take a look at the 10 rarest titles and reveal right now that there is a new rank 1.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the beta starts in October. We at MeinMMO will tell you when the dates will take place and how you can participate.
Update October 6: The beta will start soon, and we have compiled all the important information about the testing phase in a special:
What kind of beta is this? The upcoming tests in October will be partly closed and partly open beta. There will be early access dates where only pre-orderers can participate.
The testing will take place over two weekends, with the first exclusively on PS4, which was also known through a leak. The second weekend will also be open for PC and Xbox One. The exact times for the events are currently not available.
In addition, beta codes are occasionally raffled, officially from Activision. Such an action was organized by CODTracker on Twitter.
For the open beta, you do not need to pre-order. However, you need Xbox Gold, an account on BattleNet, or PlayStation Plus (only in certain regions) if you want to participate in the beta.
What will be playable in the beta? So far, there is no information about the content of the beta. However, we will update the article as soon as we have it.
Is there a preload for the beta? No statement has been made about that so far.
When is Cold War released? The release of the new shooter is on November 13, about one month after the first beta.
New CoD Cold War trailer revealed: In the lead-up to the reveal, Call of Duty referred to a “next-generation multiplayer mode”. This has now been shown: On Tuesday evening at exactly 7:00 PM, the new trailer for CoD: Black Ops Cold War went online.
As promised at the reveal event in Warzone, it focuses on the multiplayer mode of the new installment. Here you can watch it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXRQyd6_5j4
When will Black Ops Cold War be released? The new game will be released on November 13, 2020, for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. It will also be available for the next generation of consoles.
Beta in October: If you want to test CoD: Cold War before it releases, you can participate in the beta in October. Here you will find all the information on the beta dates.
All information from the CoD: Cold War multiplayer reveal
This is shown in the trailer: The new trailer featured several locations of the multiplayer in the new CoD. The gameplay is from the PS5 version of the game.
The trailer starts with a mission that sends the team to Miami. There was immediately plenty of action, including the use of ziplines and the taking down of a submarine.
The new multiplayer sends you across the whole world
Then it continued to Angola, Uzbekistan, and the Ural Mountains. The multiplayer will send players across the course of history. So far, the following maps have been introduced:
Armada: The map takes place in the North Atlantic and leads you over ships and gun boats.
Crossroads: The map takes you to Uzbekistan. Tanks and snowmobiles will be in use here.
Miami: Fight your way through the neon-lit streets of Ocean Drive.
Moscow: Here, a Spetsnaz team meets a CIA team amidst street battles.
Satellite: Here you fight in the heart of Central Africa, in the Angolan desert.
However, these five maps are just a selection of many maps that are expected to be available at launch.
The battles will be conducted on land, in the air, and at sea. During the reveal event, the developers emphasized the different approaches using the Miami level. You can attack head-on or sneak through the shadows. You can also dive into the water and shift the fight to another part of the map.
The Miami map is inspired by the famous “Ocean Drive”
These modes are included in CoD: Black Ops Cold War
The developers promised revamped versions of popular modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search & Destroy, Kill Confirmed, and Control. Additionally, there will be new modes:
VIP Escort: This is a 6v6 mode. A random player will be designated as the VIP – and must now be protected or hunted depending on the team. The VIP has only a pistol, a smoke grenade, and a UAV at their disposal. The protection team tries to get the VIP out of the zone while the other team tries to take them out. This mode had already appeared in a previous leak.
Combined Arms: This is a 12v12 affair. Here, infantry soldiers and vehicles will be in use. Depending on the map, this can include tanks, speedboats, snowmobiles, or helicopters.
Fireteam: In “Fireteam”, up to ten four-player teams compete against each other. The environment is expected to play an important role here – further information should be available closer to the release.
If you want to take a closer look at the new content of the multiplayer, you can find the first gameplay impressions by the English YouTuber jackfrags here:

What will be important for CoD Cold War: In addition to the trailer, the maps, and the modes, further information on the multiplayer of CoD Black Ops Cold War has been presented. This includes:
Gunsmith – The gunsmith from Modern Warfare returns in Cold War as well. You can modify your weapons again with up to 5 attachments. The loadouts can be assembled similar to Modern Warfare.
Wildcard – With the wildcards known from the Black Ops series, an extra perk is introduced that improves your entire loadout (for example, allows you to carry more equipment).
Warzone – The developers elaborated on the progress that the Warzone and Cold War share. You can carry all progress from Warzone into the Black Ops multiplayer.
The multiplayer offers cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-generation. In theory, five players can play together across completely different platforms.
The classic mini-map from earlier CoD titles returns.
The score streaks return in Cold War. The points collected remain after death and can provide players with quality gear for the fight.
The current trailer is likely to further fuel the discussions about CoD: Black Ops Cold War. Among other things, streamer Dr Disrespect spoke about the game and speculated that it could be the best CoD of all time.

A player shows a trick for CEOs in GTA Online. Finding cargo in vans becomes significantly easier, saving you a lot of time.
What is it about? Anyone wanting to make money in GTA Online – and that’s pretty much everyone – has several options to choose from. A lucrative business opportunity is provided by the job of a CEO. Although this work takes a lot of time, it rewards you with millions of GTA dollars.
As a CEO, you order crates that then appear somewhere on the map for you to collect. There is a mission where you need to use the Trackify app on your in-game smartphone. During this job, 3 vans drive through the city and are marked as points on the Trackify radar. Only one of the vans carries the requested goods that you need to steal.
It takes time to check all the vans and figure out which one has the cargo. A trick makes this mission child’s play, as you will immediately find the right van.
Here’s how to directly find the right van with Trackify
This is the trick: After starting the mission, open the Trackify app on your in-game smartphone and closely observe the red points there. If a total of 3 points appear, go directly to the point that lights up last. They appear with a delay.
The last of the three points will definitely have the right package, as reddit user OohltzMario shares with the community. In his video, he shows exactly how the trick works. Pay attention to the red points that are displayed in the app. The upper marker appears significantly later than the other two.

What about the first expansion of WoW Classic? Rumors are circulating – and they promise good things.
In World of Warcraft Classic, some players are complaining that Ahn’Qiraj is not open yet, while some are already waiting for the next big Naxxramas patch. However, the question of how things will proceed after the official Classic time frame lies further ahead. Will there be a “Burning Crusade Classic”? How will that work? More and more rumors are currently circulating.
What are these rumors? Nano, a former member of the Nostalrius team, the largest WoW private server that existed for a long time, spoke up on Twitter. He stated that he has heard new rumors. According to them…
Naxxramas is supposed to be released early in December.
The beta of “The Burning Crusade” is set to start in March/April 2021.
However, these rumors are not confirmed, as Nano does not provide any sources – presumably to protect them. Whether there is truth behind the news remains to be seen.
What would that mean? If the rumors prove true, players could expect a “The Burning Crusade Classic” as early as summer 2021 – so just under two years after the original release. That at least sounds like a realistic approach.
However, The Burning Crusade has not yet been announced. Initial surveys from Blizzard suggest that the developers are considering it and may already be in a planning phase.
What might a “Classic TBC” look like? That’s the interesting question. Because Blizzard would once again need to balance the different interests of the community. After all, not all WoW Classic players want to switch to The Burning Crusade, but prefer to remain in the old world. The two most likely options would be:
A character copy to new “The Burning Crusade” servers. Here, you can play the expansion while the old realms and characters remain at the Classic state.
All realms automatically become TBC servers. Those who do not want that can transfer to new realms that remain at the Classic state.
Ultimately, what comes remains to be seen. But with a bit of luck, we’ll learn more about it in early 2021. Because then Blizzard wants to make up for the BlizzCon with a digital event and will surely talk about the future of WoW Classic and its possible expansions.
