With a new gameplay trailer, the MMORPG Elyon (formerly A:IR) entices players for more. We take this opportunity to introduce you to the online role-playing game once again.
What does the new trailer show? The Korean trailer for the MMORPG Elyon primarily showcases the action-packed combat of the game, which stands out from other online role-playing games.
Additionally, you will see battles against boss enemies, be shown skills, and in the end, the developers highlight the massive realm-versus-realm battles.
https://youtu.be/3LwPMEJK8UY
In the new video, you can see how fast Elyon plays.
An MMORPG that looks like an action game
What is special about the video? As shown earlier, the combat does not give the impression usually associated with MMORPGs. For example, there is no tab-targeting and you must move, strike actively, and dodge in battles. If one didn’t know it was an online role-playing game, they might think Elyon is a new shooter.
This is because the battles happen incredibly fast and especially the ranged weapons remind one of shooter battles with machine guns.
Why is this interesting? The fast, shooter-like combat could especially appeal to players who find the combat in most other MMORPGs too slow. Elyon has the potential to attract shooter players to the genre.
So, if you love fast and highly action-packed battles in an online game, you should definitely take a look at Elyon.
What does the MMORPG have to offer in general? Elyon emerged from the MMORPG A:IR – Ascent: Infinite Realm, which was designed for aerial combat. However, it turned out that this concept did not resonate well with players, which is why the developers made a fundamental overhaul and transformed A:IR into the more classic MMORPG Elyon.
Aerial combat now plays only a minor role. Elyon now focuses on:
The exploration of a large game world
Fast, action-packed battles against monsters and boss enemies
The Rocket Boss Giovanni is currently demanding a lot from many trainers in Pokémon GO. However, one player has shown that there’s another way to achieve victory. Only using Pokémon up to 1500 CP and without a shield, he marches to victory.
Current status on Giovanni: You can finally challenge the Rocket Boss again after months of pause. This time, he uses Crypto-Suicune, which you can also catch.
The battle with Giovanni is currently one of the biggest challenges in the game. With the right counters, it is manageable, but it often makes you sweat.
One trainer has now proven the opposite. With a team of Super League Pokémon, meaning up to 1500 CP, he defeated Giovanni. He didn’t use a single shield. We’ll show you how that works.
Defeating Giovanni Easily – Here’s How
Here is the clip: The user ptargino uploaded the video on reddit. In 4 minutes, you can see how he takes down every Pokémon of Giovanni:

How did he achieve this? Although the trainer used what seems to be a weak team at first glance, it is actually quite strong in the Super League:
Swampert
Gengar
Lucario
With Lucario, he almost completely eliminated Snorlax. The fast charge move Counter lured out both of Giovanni’s shields, and with the fast attack Counter, Snorlax was almost completely defeated.
Next came Dugtrio, and his Swampert entered the battle. Thanks to the Community Day move Hydro Cannon, Dugtrio was quickly defeated.
Suicune was then countered with Gengar. This Pokémon has a very fast charge move Leaf Blade. The battle was somewhat lengthy here, but with numerous Leaf Blades and some help from Swampert at the end, Suicune was also defeated.
What does the battle show? The trainer demonstrates that while one can certainly have a tough battle with Giovanni, effectiveness is crucial.
You don’t need Pokémon at maximum level. Even monsters with 1500 CP are sufficient.
If you are having trouble with Giovanni, try various Pokémon. You might find a monster that fits better.
If you don’t like Giovanni’s Pokémon combination, you can also just flee and challenge Giovanni at another time. He will have a different team then.
A good foundation for a strong team against Giovanni is shown in our counter guide to the Rocket Boss. There, we present the best Pokémon and the strategy behind the battle.

Ubisoft gave away the action game Watch Dogs 2 for free during the livestream Ubisoft Forward on the evening of July 12. However, due to the influx of players, it didn’t go quite as planned. Therefore, there is now a new way to get the title for free.
What happened during the livestream? Actually, anyone who watched the Ubisoft Forward stream on the evening of July 12 should have received a free PC version of the action game Watch Dogs 2. Additionally, the game was also distributed via Twitch Drops, provided players had linked their Ubisoft accounts.
However, players had difficulty logging in due to the rush, and many only saw the loading screen. As a result, there was a lot of criticism.
Ubisoft is giving away the action game Watch Dogs 2.
Everyone gets Watch Dogs 2 for free
What is the current situation? Ubisoft realized that the distribution of Watch Dogs 2 did not go as well as planned. Therefore, they decided to give players another chance to get the action game.
During the livestream, Ubisoft stated: “We will make sure that all of you receive every reward. Even if you were unable to log in.”
What do you need to do to receive Watch Dogs 2 for PC for free now? It’s very simple. You just need to visit a special website and register there with your Uplay account. This will allow you to get the game for free on your Uplay account.

So you shouldn’t be surprised: If you registered, but Watch Dogs 2 doesn’t show up in your Uplay account? No panic, that is normal. Ubisoft explained that the games will be distributed to accounts starting today, July 13 at the earliest. This means it can take a few days before the game appears for you and you can download and play it.
What about the other rewards? In addition to Watch Dogs 2 for PC, Ubisoft distributed additional rewards for some of the games from the company’s portfolio during the livestream. If you didn’t receive those either, no problem. Just log in on the above-mentioned site and you will receive those rewards for free along with Watch Dogs 2.
The other rewards that were available during the stream will be delivered to you as soon as the respective game becomes available.
By the way, during the Ubisoft Forward event, the new shooter Far Cry 6 was also presented. It’s also interesting for multiplayer fans.

In Destiny 2 , the community comes together to help one of their own. His newborn daughter is fighting for her life. Guardians are donating money with the wish “Eyes up, guardian” – the first sentence from Destiny. However, the daughter has since passed away.
This is the reason for the donations: A user on reddit, Bankrober0, shared a photo of himself from the maternity ward of a hospital. In the photo, he had Destiny 2 open on a laptop. In the background of the image, his wife could be seen lying in a hospital bed. He wrote: “We are patiently awaiting the arrival of a new Guardian.”
Many users on reddit were happy for their comrade and congratulated him on becoming a father.
But suddenly the post disappeared.
A while later, the man, who had now actually become a father, returned with bad news. He wrote:
At the moment, my little light is in the neonatal intensive care unit and is on machines that are keeping her alive. The general opinion of a large team of doctors is that she will not make it… I deleted my first post because I found it very difficult to read your messages congratulating me while knowing that my daughter is in such a critical condition.
Father Bankrober0 on reddit, actually named Alex
The father expresses his gratitude for the Destiny 2 community supporting him during the toughest time of his life.
In the center, you can see the 1st post, and above is the 2nd one on reddit.
Community donates money for “Little Light”
This is how the community helps: A family member of the man has set up a “GoFundMe” campaign. There are photos of the little daughter and reports on her health condition.
Anyone who wants to and is able can donate money. Within 2 days, 374 donations have already come in, totaling $13,225, which is about €11,800.
The money is intended for the medical care of daughter Everly Kay, so that the parents can stay with their child without worrying about how to finance the treatment and without the father having to rush back to work.
Initially, they only wanted to raise $10,000 – but the goal was reached shortly after.
Why “eyes up, guardian?” Many of the donations for the child come with the addition “Eyes up, guardian”. This is the first sentence that the Ghost speaks to the awakening Guardian in Destiny 1 when he wakes from long sleep and begins his new life.
The Guardians hope to welcome the baby into their fold.
Update 13.7. 9:44 AM: Despite the efforts of the doctors, the little girl has passed away, as reported on the campaign page. She took her last breath in her mother’s arms.
The parents are devastated by the loss of their sweet little girl, as reported.
Donations continue to come in: At the moment, $15,655 has been raised.
In the 6 years that Destiny has existed, it has become clear through stories from the community how strong the connection players have built over the years with Destiny 2 and their comrades in the game.
We reported on a particularly touching story on MeinMMO a few years ago. A group of players wanted to fulfill one last wish of their friend:
Raiding in WoW Classic was hard? These players prove the opposite and complete a raid completely naked.
Raiding in World of Warcraft has always had certain standards. Discipline, good preparation, and appropriate character equipment are essentially mandatory. But can you also leave out one element of this equation? Yes, you can. A raid group has defeated Onyxia while wearing no equipment at all. The raid consisted of 40 naked characters.
What happened? The raid boss Onyxia is sometimes dangerous for players with solid gear due to her mechanics. Fear effects or an unpleasant push into the dragon eggs can take down many raid groups. However, Sallamos’ YouTube channel has now released a video showing a raid group engaged in a bizarre endeavor: they defeat the dragon lady Onyxia without players wearing any gear. There was no clothing, no weapons, and no jewelry or rings used.
Soon the “new” raid Ahn’Qiraj will start – doing it naked will probably not succeed.
How did the players manage this? Without empowering equipment and weapons, it was hardly possible for most classes to deal significant damage, so they had to resort to as many tricks as possible.

First, the players gathered as many buffs as possible to increase health and mana reserves. The amount of buffs in the video shows that numerous effects were stacked to get as much as possible out of the naked heroes.
The raid mainly consists of spell classes, which can use their abilities even without a weapon, although the damage is greatly reduced. Only hunters were included as a “weapon class”, but even they tricked. They simply controlled their pet using “Eye of the Beast” and thus dealt solid damage while also acting as a tank for large parts of the fight.
At the end, you can hear the raid leader say that they probably planned the whole thing far too meticulously. It didn’t need that much planning, and the number of buffs wasn’t necessary to accomplish this.
What do you think of this video? An impressive, cool achievement? Or a clear sign that WoW Classic was far too easy when you don’t even need any gear?

At the Ubisoft Forward, new information about Far Cry 6 was revealed. After the game was recently leaked, Ubisoft now provided a comprehensive insight. They not only showed the first official trailer but also announced a release date. Console owners can be excited as well.
What do we see in the trailer? The trailer shows us President Anton Castillo and his son Diego.
Diego is sitting at the desk playing with a toy vehicle. But surprisingly, Castillo hands his son a grenade, which he eventually prepares to detonate. A difficult journey to the palace’s rooftop begins, while outside the building the revolution sets the city ablaze.
This is what makes the trailer so intense: The elements presented make the trailer so relatable to the viewer:
Diego, whose fear is so close and tangible for us
and our question of whether Diego can reach his goal with the grenade,
while the uprising rages outside.
also shocks with the ruthless nature of the father, who treats his own son this way.
While Castillo is the picture of calm, you can feel Diego’s fear and see the violence that is happening outside on the streets.
Where can you watch the official trailer? Ubisoft has released the official reveal trailer for Far Cry 6 on YouTube. We have embedded the trailer for you here:

What did Ubisoft show at their event? Ubisoft announced that Giancarlo Esposito – known as drug lord Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad, among others – will portray the villain Anton Castillo in Far Cry 6. And considering colorful Far Cry enemies like Vaas, Pagan Min, or Joseph Seed, it could get quite exciting.
Additionally, a multiplayer mode will likely be present. A co-op mode was also present in Far Cry 5 – in this game, however, players could only take on a supporting role.
When will Far Cry 6 be released? The game will be released on February 18, 2021, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC. Additionally, players who purchase the game for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One can upgrade for free to PS5 or Xbox One X.
“Ubisoft Forward” – what was shown?
In addition to Far Cry 6, Ubisoft showcased extensive gameplay from Watch Dogs: Legion at their digital press conference. The new title in the series is set in London and offers a variety of ways to approach missions.
They also showed the battle royale shooter Hyper Scape. The game employs some unusual elements, including a special Twitch integration.
Hyper Scape is Ubisoft’s new futuristic shooter.
Missed the Ubisoft stream? Did you miss the stream from Ubisoft and still want to know what happened and which games were presented? Then check out our live ticker for “Ubisoft Forward.” Here we have summarized all important information from the stream for you.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
At the Ubisoft Forward, the new shooter Hyper Scape was also showcased. It comes with a Hollywood-quality story – and starts its Open Beta today.
This is Hyper Scape: Hyper Scape is a fast-paced, new battle royale shooter. Here you land in the city of Neo Arcadia, where you must fight for victory. It sounds familiar at first – but Hyper Scape has some unusual elements.
At the Ubisoft Forward, the developers explained that they want to make Hyper Scape a “spectacle” in which players always have to adapt to new situations. And the new story trailer looks like a spectacle too:

The “Hyper Scape” is in the game a kind of “new internet” of the year 2054, in which half-life takes place – and it hides a dark secret. It sounds a bit like Hollywood, like the movie “Ready Player One.”
In the Hyper Scape, there is the “Battle Royale” tournament “Crown Rush,” in which anyone “can become someone.” And this is where you also compete. You can expect fast-paced gameplay between the rooftops and within the buildings of the city, which you can also enter. A match becomes particularly exciting with the “Hacks” – these are collectible abilities such as teleport.
If you want, you can jump in today.
Hyper Scape: Open Beta starts now – Here’s how you can participate
Here’s how to get into the beta: After having to qualify for the testing phase via Twitch drops following the announcement, you can simply sign up for the Open Beta.
This is what to expect in the beta: In the beta, you can participate in four game modes. The Squad Crown Hunt is complemented by the Solo Crown Hunt. There, everyone fights against everyone. Additionally, there are two squad game modes that are only available for a short period: Hack Races and Turbo Mode.
Those who have already tested Hyper Scape can look forward to the new weapon “Harpy” and the new hack “Shockwave” in the beta. Additionally, the Twitch extension Crowncast has been enhanced with more features. By the way, you can also progress in the Battle Pass by watching streamers with an active Crowncast.
Ubisoft shows a trailer, a cool short film, and announces the release date of Watch Dogs: Legion at its digital press conference “Ubisoft Forward.”Additionally, the gameplay trailer introduces us to how Watch Dogs: Legion works. Included is an assassin who bears resemblance to John Wick.
When is the release of Watch Dogs: Legion? Watch Dogs Legion officially releases on October 29, 2020, for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PS5. The game is also set to come to Google’s streaming platform Stadia.
What kind of gameplay was shown? In addition, Ubisoft showcased a lot of new gameplay in its gameplay trailer. For example, you can complete missions from multiple perspectives – depending on which character you recruited beforehand. Ubisoft had previously stated that you can choose from 9 million characters in Watch Dogs: Legion.
Each character has their own abilities. The construction worker has a work drone, while the employee of the security firm Albion easily passes through security barriers.
This is what the featured assassin in Watch Dogs: Legion looks like. This beard strongly reminds of John Wick.
Killer in Legion looks and fights like John Wick
And after you were out as a grandma in Watch Dogs: Legion last time, Ubisoft shows this time that you can slip into the role of a battle-hardened assassin. And this one can pack a powerful punch.
This character is introduced to us this time: While the grandma relied on relatively improvised weapons, our assassin uses heavy weapons. Like John Wick, he mercilessly fights and shoots his way through the security personnel of Mary Kelley’s gangster syndicate, which has no chance against him. Every hit in the gameplay trailer lands perfectly. In the trailer, you almost feel a bit overpowered. And this awareness of being strong and dangerous is sure to appeal to some players.
Why do we think of John Wick? The featured killer is not portrayed as a cold-blooded murderer in the trailer: At the beginning, he lays a flower on an unnamed grave before he gets to his bloody work. He probably has his reasons and is not just randomly shooting through the gangsters’ organ farm. And that beard definitely resembles that of John Wick.
Whether it is an act of revenge or how the backgrounds of the characters play a role in the missions has not been explained by Ubisoft yet.
Additionally, Ubisoft presented the cinematic trailer: Tipping Point: Here you accompany an agent fleeing through downtown London. But you should watch it yourself:

Live Ticker for Ubisoft Forward from MeinMMO
21:49: In the post-show, there are now 30 minutes of AC Valhalla, a deep dive into the gameplay. Our colleagues from GameStar have already played AC Valhalla (via GameStar).
21:48: Ubisoft Forward is coming to an end. The president has already announced another Ubisoft Forward for 2020, where even more games will be revealed.
21:47: Far Cry 6 looks incredibly cinematic. In GameStar Plus, there is also an exclusive story about how Far Cry 6 avoids the old open-world trap (via GameStarPlus).
During the pre-show of Ubisoft Forward, there was also talk about The Division 2. However, this was not about new content – but a cute Easter egg.
This was shown: Today is the big “Ubisoft Forward” event, where Ubisoft showcases its new projects. However, there was also information about new indie games, TrackMania – and The Division 2 beforehand.
Here it was about a popular Easter egg from the community. In the dark world of The Division 2, players usually find themselves among destroyed buildings and rubble. However, colorful birds kept appearing in between: Little rubber ducks are scattered throughout the game.
What are all these rubber ducks for?
This is how the developers explain the ducks: When the ducks first appeared, the developers said that they are somewhat part of the storytelling. That there are still people living in the city, and they want to have a little fun – even in the dark world of The Division 2.
But there’s a bit more to it: “That’s a thing with programmers: If you talk about your problems with a rubber duck, it can help,” explained level artist Karen Stanley. One developer then took it to a new level: “He used a giant duck in a level to remind himself that he wanted to do something.”
On the occasion of the digital fair “Ubisoft Forward,” the publisher is giving away the game “Watch Dogs 2.” But you have to be quick, as you only have 45 minutes to get the game for free and keep it forever.We explain what you need to pay attention to and when you can get the game.

The final boss of the next expansion of World of Warcraft is already known. But can that really work?
With the next WoW expansion Shadowlands, we go into the Shadowlands to stop the Jailer in his plans. The Jailer already appeared in the first trailer and also plays a significant role in the intro scenario. He is also supposed to be the final boss of the addon.
What has been said about the Jailer? During a group interview, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas talked about the Jailer and the differences from previous expansions. Because there, the final boss was often a mystery – as in Battle for Azeroth, where N’Zoth became the final antagonist. Hazzikostas said:
To be honest, it is almost the opposite of a challenge. It’s almost an easier way to tell a story and to build an expansion with a clear theme, just like back in WOTLK or Cataclysm. We haven’t talked so openly about the final boss in the last expansions because it wouldn’t have made much sense at the time or would have been too big of spoilers for the story.
For example, in Warlords of Draenor, if you had known from the start that you would fight Archimonde at the end, that would have been confusing.
But here, we are fighting against this great antagonist on the level of a “Titan++” and there are major steps in our journey to discover the motivations of the Jailer and his plans and to gather enough allies to stand against him.
This story will run throughout the entire Shadowlands expansion and our content updates, until we eventually have a chance to fight the Jailer.
The Jailer is the final boss from the Shadowlands – we already know that.
Who is actually the Jailer?
What do we know so far about the Jailer? Not much is known about the Jailer and his motives yet. However, we know that he rules over the Maw. This is a realm of the Shadowlands where only the darkest souls are banished. For some time now, however, all souls from all worlds have been drawn into the Maw and transformed into the Jailer’s forces.
That’s why Hazzikostas probably referred to the Jailer as a “Titan++” in terms of his power. Since among the countless worlds of the cosmos, the Jailer’s army is likely to be even larger and more devastating than the forces of the Legion.
In addition, the Jailer is in league with Sylvanas, whose plans are still unknown. Throughout Shadowlands, light is to be shed on this alliance and Sylvanas’ plans.
The mysterious “Jailer” – not much is known yet about his motives.
Changes have happened in the past already: Whether Blizzard will actually stick to this plan remains to be seen. After all, there have been such changes in the past. In the first expansion “The Burning Crusade”, Illidan in the Black Temple was actually planned as the final boss. However, Blizzard then introduced another patch with the Sunwell and Kil’Jaeden.
Similarly, in Warlords of Draenor, Grommash from the Iron Horde was supposed to serve as the final boss. However, since a patch was skipped and the story was changed, Grommash became a “good” character and the final boss became Archimonde.
Do you think it’s a good thing that the villain of the expansion is clear from the start, like with the Lich King or Deathwing? Or does this knowledge take away the surprise for you?

Pokémon GO has many cute monsters that make your heart race. But most of the little creatures are not particularly strong. Here, we present to you 7 exceptions.
This is what will be followed: This is a personal assessment from the author. The Pokémon were then checked for their usability.
Thus, the Pokémon introduced here are either good in the PvP League or play a significant role in PvE.
Azumarill
Azumarill somewhat resembles a blue chocolate bonbon and has a peaceful look. Generally, the Pokémon is small and round.
You truly notice Azumarill’s strength in PvP mode. There, it is a real machine in the Ultra League, taking and dealing a lot of damage. Surely, each of us has experienced a good beating from an Azumarill.
Heiteira
Heiteira is big, round, and pink. Plus, it has a nice smile, and this peaceful, cute Pokémon is complete. However, Heiteira is not as harmless as it may seem.
Heiteira is the best defender in the game and can absorb an immense amount of damage. Our pumped-up Machoke need to put in a lot of effort to beat a Heiteira.
Roserade
This Pokémon slightly resembles a walking bouquet of flowers. Its arms are two flower bouquets, and Roserade appears quite peaceful overall.
However, Roserade is genuinely strong. It is the best grass Pokémon in the game and should not be underestimated. Its enormous attack value and powerful moves make Roserade exceptional.
Togekiss
Togekiss doesn’t look like a strong Pokémon. It’s a friendly little cloud that doesn’t appear dangerous at all. However, that appearance is deceiving.
Togekiss is one of the best fairy attackers and is quite strong in PvP. It dominates in the Master League. So you better not mess with this Pokémon that seems so fluffy.
Rossana
Rossana doesn’t seem like a dangerous Pokémon at all. It likely reminds many of their aunt who wears too much lipstick and loves to give out kisses.
In Pokémon GO, Rossana can actually hold its own! The Pokémon is a solid ice attacker. While it is not the best Pokémon of its type, for an older lady, it is not as bad as it looks.
Skelabra
The walking candelabrum may look harmless at first glance, but it can do more than just provide light.
Skelabra is one of the best attackers of two types: Ghost and Fire. A good Skelabra is important for raids.
Altaria
Altaria looks like a cloud and has a big smile on its face. Not dangerous at all. While that is true in raids, it is quite the opposite in PvP.
In PvP, the cloud is a real weapon. In the Ultra League, it is one of the best Pokémon and deals a lot of damage. You need to be skillful to take down Altaria from the sky.
A strong Pokémon that definitely looks the part is the current raid boss Kyurem. In our counter guide to the legendary Pokémon, you will find all the important information about the best Pokémon, their usability, and the maximum CP.

The French gaming publisher Ubisoft will hold its big press conference Ubisoft Forward digitally this evening on July 12th, due to the cancellation of E3 2020. Information, release dates, and trailers are expected for games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, The Division 2, and Hyper Space. However, on the night before the event, it was revealed that top executiveslike Serge Hascoët and Yannis Mallatare leaving.
These executives are leaving:
Serge Hascoët, he is the “Chief Creative Officer” at Ubisoft. He was considered the number 2 behind president Yves Guillemot. He had the final creative say on major Ubisoft games.
Yannis Mallat, he is the head of Ubisoft’s studios in Canada, also a very important man
Cécile Cornet, she is the “Global Head of HR”, thus the head of personnel for the entire corporation
The 3 executives reportedly “decided to resign themselves”. It is also known that Hascoët and Mallat will leave the company immediately.
This is why they are resigning: The US site Kotaku has published an internal memo from Ubisoft announcing the departures of the top executives. There, Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, personally explains that they are reviewing the “whole organization” and want to respond to the allegations made in recent weeks.
The current personnel changes are steps on how they will redefine “the way we work together”. Ubisoft is now striving for an “open and inclusive” culture.
In this way, Ubisoft wants to reorganize itself and primarily strengthen the HR department. Furthermore, Ubisoft aims to seek high-quality international help. Now is the right time for change.
This resembles statements and actions from Riot Games in 2018, where they even brought on a Harvard professor to review and change the corporate culture.

Ubisoft shaken by allegations of sexual harassment
These are the allegations against Ubisoft: In recent weeks, accusations have arisen that women at Ubisoft have been sexually harassed. One of the most severe incidents reportedly occurred in 2014 at Ubisoft Toronto. One of the managers allegedly choked an employee at an office party. If she had wanted to complain about him afterward, she would have had to do so through the HR office, but the head of HR was the man who choked her (via kotaku).
In addition to this incident, there are many other allegations, which Ubisoft now appears to be responding to quite drastically.
Both the US site Kotaku and the French newspaper Libération have published articles and insider reports in which affected individuals speak out.
The discussion is about systemic problems:
There have been incidents of harassment, abuse, and even physical assaults within the company
Moreover, Ubisoft has not handled complaints about such incidents correctly
Far Cry 6 is likely to be one of the highlights today.
Important press conference takes place this evening
This is the event this evening: The timing could hardly be stranger for Ubisoft. This evening, on July 12th, the event “Ubisoft Forward” will take place at 8 PM. This is a digital press conference. It replaces the big press conference that Ubisoft typically holds at E3 2020. E3 2020 has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Information about several major titles is expected:
Update 7:10 PM: Ubisoft has announced via Twitter that Ubisoft Forward is pre-recorded and therefore will not include a statement regarding the current incidents.
Breakpoint already triggered major changes in 2019.
This marks the second major restructuring within a year that Ubisoft is now undergoing. In autumn 2019, Ubisoft announced that it would change its production processes after some new titles significantly underperformed:
Monster Hunter World (MHW) has released the 4th title update for Iceborne for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The highlight is the new monster Alatreon. MeinMMO author Larissa Then has dived into the battle and finally died once again.
In recent months, I haven’t logged into Monster Hunter World as often. The motivation has waned after over 1000 hours of gameplay, at least for me.
The new monsters or variants were usually no longer a challenge. This is mainly due to my great team. We work well together, and everyone knows how to play their character. This often avoids a death or two.
So, I approached the new fight with mixed feelings. Alatreon, known from Monster Hunter Tri, made its way to the monsters of Iceborne. However, I was pleasantly surprised. In this challenging fight, I finally died once again; I literally collected deaths, and it was a huge blast.
MeinMMO author Larissa Then has spent over 1000 hours in MHW. She is obsessed with decoration armor and collects all bows, which are her favorite weapon.
Alatreon defeats us after 1.5 minutes – not the other way around
It alternates its elements between ice, fire, and dragon. Players should also attack it with elemental attacks to mitigate its strongest attack.
How did the first fight go? Those were all the information I had about this fight. I also didn’t want to read further but rather wanted to try a bit. So we dove in on the release day, without knowing what we were even doing.
I have bow sets for all elements, so I just selected one, and we set off as a trio. After I had already died for the first time after about 10 seconds, we managed to deal some damage to Alatreon.
We put it to sleep, broke its horns, and despite its many flying moments, we thought we did well. And then we all died anyway. That was after about 1.5 minutes.
The black dragon Alatreon looks even more intimidating up close
What makes Alatreon so difficult? Alatreon creates a strong shockwave approximately every 5-8 minutes. If you don’t throw life boosters, potions, life powders, and everything at once, you won’t survive it. We didn’t survive it even once.
Unfortunately, it’s not the case that you can hide. Players could shield themselves behind rocks against the monster Behemoth, but not against Alatreon. Almost nothing protects you from death unless you can mitigate the shockwave.
How can you survive the shockwave? This works if you deal a lot of elemental damage to Alatreon. You should also attack it as often as possible with your clutch claw and use slinger ammo against the wall, a very powerful attack in Monster Hunter World. But you’ll also die often while doing this.
In a round with bowgun, we were able to break its horns
Additionally, you should cover different elements in a group. Ideally ice, dragon, and fire. Depending on which element Alatreon assumes, your attacks will be ineffective, and you won’t be able to mitigate the nova. This must then be compensated by teammates with the other elements.
It always starts with a fire phase, so it’s advisable to confront it with ice first. If you have dealt enough elemental damage, the shockwave will be weakened. Hooray, you’ve survived a round! If only there weren’t still the seemingly 100 other attacks that could cost you your life.
How exactly the mechanics work and details on how you can take Alatreon down, you can find out in the video by Arekkz Gaming:

Therefore, play carefully and observe Alatreon very closely. It is very agile and often in the air. If it catches you or your teammates, heal as quickly as possible or throw a potion for your teammates. Otherwise, it is already half the battle if you have mitigated the shockwave.
Much yelling and laughing
And why is this now fun? Admittedly, the first fights were very frustrating, and I almost bit into my controller a couple of times.
However, that also made the fun. The fight against Alatreon was simply not as predictable as many others. At the beginning, we didn’t even know which weapons and elements we should use.
We tried a lot, rebuilt our sets, and progressed a little further with each attempt. And I haven’t felt that in Monster Hunter World for a long time. The feeling of continuous progress in a difficult fight.
In the voice chat, we had a huge blast. We yelled and laughed when we once again passed away. It felt a bit like the beginning of Monster Hunter World: just dying again and not really knowing why.

Those who grew up with the world of Pokémon surely know Jessie and James. The two delinquents from Team Rocket have now also landed in Pokémon GO and it is very well received.
This is very well received, as the villains have often been wished for by players. After all, they are almost as well known as Ash and his Pikachu. They also played a role in the console games. Now, 4 years after the release of Pokémon GO, they are now appearing in the mobile hit.
Team Rocket Experiences New Popularity
This is how Jessie and James are doing: The hype around their release was huge. After all, they often annoyed our great childhood heroes and probably had one or the other score to settle with the delinquents.
Now you can finally defeat the enemies of your childhood and give Jessie and James the famous “blast off”.
The user ProbablyADitto writes on reddit about the release: “This is exactly the kind of fun the game needs more of.” and thus probably hits the nerve of many players.
Jessie and James are on their way in the Meowth balloon.
This is what makes Jessie and James so special: Niantic has brought the two delinquents into the game with a lot of attention to detail. For example, they greet you with the well-known words “Now there’s trouble and it’s getting even tougher!”
In addition, you can only find Jessie and James if you see the Meowth hot air balloon. In this balloon, Jessie and James were always traveling. The balloon looks like Meowth because they always had a talking Meowth with them. This is currently still missing in Pokémon GO, but it may come in a later update.
Who are Jessie and James? They belong to Team Rocket, an evil organization that wants to steal Pokémon and take over the world.
In the anime, Jessie and James were primarily after Ash’s Pikachu. With crazy robots and ideas, they tried to catch Pikachu. However, this always went wrong, and Ash and Pikachu gave them the “blast off,” sending them flying through the air.
They also appeared in the console games, and we had to defeat and drive them away there as well.
Now you can do all of this in Pokémon GO as well. The battle here is quite easy if you have the right Pokémon with you. In our counter guide to Jessie and James, we show you the best ways to defeat them.

In Borderlands 3 players are currently discovering many new ways to blow their enemies off the map. Here is a new build that causes absurdly high damage.
This is what the new build is capable of: Defeating enemies in Borderlands 3, especially at high Mayhem levels, can sometimes be quite challenging. Currently, several players are showcasing an Amara build that deals extremely high damage.
This is how the new build works: The YouTuber has skillfully designed his Amara to primarily deal a lot of melee damage. Here you can see the skill trees:
With this point distribution, Amara can use her Action Skill often and keeps the cooldowns low. The fact that melee damage is pushed up so high is crucial – because it’s ultimately the equipment that causes incredibly high damage.
This is the equipment you need: In the video, a combination of several components is shown. These are:
A Facepuncher with the “300% damage at over 90%” life anointment
The “White Elephant” artifact
The Spiritual Driver Class Mod
The Pioneer’s Guardian Rank
This combination makes Amara extremely dangerous. The Facepuncher converts Amara’s melee damage into weapon damage, including an extra bonus against enemies that still have almost full health. The “White Elephant” adds extra damage explosions to melee damage, while the Spiritual Driver takes the numbers even higher.
Melee fighter Amara is hard to stop with the build
Lastly, the Pioneer’s rank comes into play. This is one of the new Guardian Ranks from the big June update. Melee and slam attacks trigger an aftershock that deals 25% of the non-melee damage done within the last 5 seconds. These waves can be activated multiple times by the build.
The combination of Facepuncher and White Elephant is also possible on other characters, but Amara has advantages due to her skills. Mobs like bosses fall to this build extremely quickly, as shown in the video.
Will this combination remain in the game? Gearbox has often struck with nerfs when certain combinations proved to be too powerful. However, fans were recently pleased that nerfs surprisingly did not occur. So it could be worth giving the build a chance.

In Destiny 2, there are many Exotics, but players hardly remember some of them. MeinMMO presents Exo builds for each class that pack a real punch.
Here’s what it’s about: In Destiny 2, there are now 154 Exotics in the season of arrival. Of these, 84 are exotic armors. However, not all of them are truly powerful or regularly used by Guardians.
The well-known PvE expert Ehroar wants to make you interested in three of the nearly forgotten Exotics. He demonstrates that the chosen Exo armors are unjustly in the shadows and has created powerful builds around the gear.
By the way, MeinMMO bets that most Guardians do not know all the special abilities and features of the listed Exo armors by heart.
What kind of builds are these? The presented builds all focus on powerful explosions. It was ensured that the combinations can also work in higher difficulty levels and remain relevant in later seasons.
This is made possible by the “Charged with Light” system. But don’t worry, the mechanics do not require special consideration – everything works more or less in the background and enables the explosive playstyle without complicated fiddling.
If you want a refresher on the mechanics or the associated mods, you’ll find it in this guide:
What can this Exo do again? The exotic chest armor Splitter Spire triggers an explosion around you when you hit enemies with charged melee attacks. In finishing moves and kills of stronger enemies, the explosion becomes larger and more dangerous.
The fuse is lit, the Exotic is about to blow
What else do you need for the build? Choose the Striker Titan with the lower skill tree “Path of the Juggernaut”. This focus is geared towards melee action, which we will fully utilize.
Use these armor mods:
Stacked: – costs 4 Void Energy
Charge Harvester: – costs 3 Void Energy
Reactive Pulse – costs 3 Arc Energy
Protective Light – costs 2 Void Energy
Since you will be staying in melee range, a powerful sword and a weapon like Monte Carlo are your ideal companions.
Here’s how to play the combo: The playstyle is super simple: You go up to an enemy and start swinging. Thanks to your subclass and “Knockout”, each hit counts as a charged melee attack. You also always recover health.
You continuously trigger Arc explosions around you. If you hit an opponent, it blows – if you’re surrounded and hit, it blows.
Let’s be honest, explosions make all fights better. Here, you are the bomb that keeps going off. With high fun factor, this Exotic is definitely worth a second look.
On the next page, we will continue with builds for Hunters and Warlocks that rely on the same mods and explosions.

The revision of character options in World of Warcraft will also affect the rest of the world. Many NPCs will be redesigned.
One of the biggest features of the upcoming expansion World of Warcraft Shadowlands deals with small details that make a big difference. Players will receive numerous new options to customize their heroes as they wish. However, these changes are expected to also affect a large part of the old NPCs.
What was said? During a group interview, the well-known RedShirtGuy asked a question to Game Director Ion Hazzikostas. He wanted to know if the new customization options that also allow for Wildhammer dwarves or Sand trolls would introduce new quests for these races or explanations for why these species are now with the Horde or Alliance.
Ion Hazzikostas denied that there would be quests, but explained:
I think we will incorporate the new customization options for characters into both the NPCs and the player characters.
I think, in a way, we actually see this as a bit of a retcon [retroactive continuity]. We will not change existing, notable characters. But when you walk through Stormwind or other places in the world, you will see guards or random civilians who use these [new] appearances as if they had always done so.
Honestly, I see this more as a correction of something we have overlooked in the past years as well as an enhancement of broader representation. We are the stewards of a fantasy universe and a world we have created. We don’t want to get it wrong because we feel tied to a creative decision from a completely different era that is over 15 years old.
Yes, these are all Void Elves – this is how they can look in Shadowlands.
What does this mean? In plain terms, this likely means that we will experience much more diversity in the NPCs of the world going forward, making Azeroth generally much more colorful. Noticeable new customizations like the dark skin tones of the Blood Elves, the Asian faces of the Humans, or the new tail lengths of the Draenei will appear in the “old game world” just like the old customizations.
What do you think of this change? Do you think it’s good that Azeroth is becoming more colorful and diverse? Or should we leave old NPCs untouched?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, currently a grenade throw is thrilling as it sends 3 players into the air simultaneously. Viewers are already comparing it to a ballerina.
This is what it’s about: Reddit user SeaSaltDaisy uploaded a clip of his spectacular last kill on Reddit. In the kill cam, you can see why the kill was so impressive. He himself calls it “The best final kill cam I’ve ever seen.”
The clip has already garnered over 22,000 upvotes (as of July 12 at 10:00 AM) and numerous comments that are amused by the action.
Grenade throw makes opponents become ballerinas
This is the clip: We are embedding the video of the spectacular last kills here:

The player was alone against several opponents who had barricaded themselves in a room. He then threw a Semtex grenade through the open door.
In the slow-motion of the kill cam, you can see the surprised players running away. But by then, it was already too late.
The grenade exploded, and 3 players flew into the air simultaneously and in the same direction. It looks a bit like a choreographed jump as they all fly away in sync.
What do viewers say about it? Viewers directly compare the 3 victims to ballerinas jumping in sync. User DXTOanto sums up the thoughts of the opponents: “Semtex lands at the door. ‘Okay guys, just like in training! And 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4’, then everyone jumps like a ballerina.”
A clip from Modern Warfare caused a wave of praise. There, a player showcased a play style that everyone probably hates. He accompanied it all with classical music and created a real masterpiece. In the end, there were tens of thousands of upvotes on Reddit.
