From now on, the cards of TOTW Moments 4 are known in FIFA 20. We will tell you who will receive new Inform cards in the new Team of the Week Moments.
What are TOTW Moments? Due to the current break in international football, the regular Team of the Week, which was based on the real performances of the footballers, is temporarily paused.
However, it is replaced by the TOTW Moments. This also appears weekly and is based on TOTWs from previous FUT installments.
The strongest players in TOTW Moments 3: This week, Ilicic (90), Son (91), and Vardy receive really strong cards in TOTW Moments 4. But Robert Lewandowski has the strongest card with an overall rating of 94. This should particularly please owners of his Headliner card.
These players from the Bundesliga are included: FUT players with Bundesliga teams can look forward to the new cards from Lewandowski (94), Belfodil (82), and Mateta (82).
This is what Lewandowski’s new card can do: This week, Robert Lewandowski receives his fourth Inform card in FUT 20, which upgrades his Headliner card to an overall rating of 96.
If you take a close look at the values of the new 94 card, you will notice that there are some significant jumps compared to the 93 TOTW card:
Bronze or Silver Moments cards can be found in the corresponding Bronze and Silver packs.
On the Transfer Market: However, if you don’t want to rely on your luck, you should look for your desired card on the transfer market. But don’t rush, definitely compare prices and wait a few days, as prices often drop significantly.

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), you can choose from 6 different classes. You told us which are your favorites. These are the classes that you like the most or that you consider the strongest in the MMORPG.
The Elder Scrolls Online comes with 6 different classes. Each of them has three skill trees and unique abilities. We wanted to ask you in a survey which class you enjoy playing the most in ESO.
A total of 771 MeinMMO readers participated in this survey, which ended on April 5th. Each of them had only one vote. You can find the results of the ranking on the following pages.
Let’s start from your least favorite class to the most popular one.
6. The Warden
The Warden occupies the last place in your ranking with 10.64%.
What Makes the Warden Special: The Wardens came with the Morrowind update to ESO. They are deeply connected to nature and can control plants and animals. For instance, it is possible to summon a bear to fight by your side or to grow healing plants that heal your allies.
This makes them a very good choice if you want to play as a healer. However, they are also quite tough and can serve well as tanks. In both roles, they provide their group with good buffs. If you want to know more about the roles in ESO, we have tips on which class might suit your playstyle.
These are the Warden’s Skill Trees:
Animal Companions: In this skill tree, you can activate and enhance your animal companions. Depending on your build, your bear can automatically revive from the ultimate skill or deal more damage.
Winter’s Embrace: Here, you specialize in water and ice magic. You can skill defensive and offensive buffs as well as a stun.
Green Balance: In this tree, you will find skills that support you as a healer. Here lie the abilities for group support.

In the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, there is a gorilla that seems to be frozen in the world. Players are repeatedly drawn to it and take selfies in front of the animal. But why?
What’s going on? Near Strawberry, you will find a large, broken crate on the tracks with a gorilla standing inside. However, the animal looks fake, as if it’s frozen. But there’s no explanation for the animal. There’s no quest that suddenly starts. There’s no sign hinting at anything either.
More and more players are seeking explanation from the community. Many of them are also taking selfies with the gorilla.
Confused players take selfies with gorilla
In the selfie by reddit user igpajo49, it looks like the gorilla is about to beat up Arthur. Arthur himself stares harshly into the camera and appears dissatisfied with the situation. He writes, “I found the gorilla today. Is there a story behind this?”
A different mood is spread by the photo from swbeaman. He writes, “These days, everyone stops Arthur and asks for a selfie…”. He apparently couldn’t refuse the request and took a photo with the gorilla.
Reddit user buttered_peanuts also asks people: “Whose gorilla is this?” In his selfie, Arthur looks completely unfazed. He calmly lights a cigarette in front of the gorilla.
The questions on reddit date back to shortly after the release of RDR 2 and are still being asked even now. Players just can’t stop taking selfies with the animal, sharing them, and asking what it is with the gorilla.
In a subreddit for RDR, the search queries and selfies related to the gorilla have accumulated for months – Source: reddit
That’s why it’s there: Of course, there is a background as to why the gorilla is stuck in a crate at this location. The “animal” is stuffed. If you shoot at it, individual “parts” fall off. You can find it near the trappers near Strawberry.
In a side quest, players can learn what it is all about. You find out during the quest that leads to a house nearby.
The content of the gorilla quest
On reddit, player leospeedleo summarizes the events succinctly. “He [the gorilla] was on the way to the house near Strawberry where animal statues are collected. The cargo had an accident and the crate with the gorilla fell off. You can’t interact with it or anything. It’s just a little nice story.”
Recently, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered was released – but without its popular multiplayer. According to Activision, this is also not planned. However, a leak now claims that CoD MW 2 Remastered might still bring back its beloved MP.
This would please many players: While many fans were excited about the recently released CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, some still mourn the original multiplayer of the second Modern Warfare installment.
However, a leak now claims that this could change – despite Activision’s denial. What is going on?
Where do the sources come from? The information comes from the well-known YouTuber TheGamingRevolution. He is considered a reliable source regarding CoD and has made a name for himself in the community with his numerous leaks about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 and the remaster of CoD: MW 2.
Nonetheless, these are unofficially confirmed information, or even statements that completely contradict the official account. So take this with a grain of caution and skepticism.
What does the leaker say about the multiplayer of CoD MW 2 Remastered? TheGamingRevolution claims that there are still chances for a separate multiplayer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered.
On Twitter, he says his source insists that the MW 2 Remastered multiplayer is still in development and being tested – even if Activision says otherwise. But more on that later. His source could not provide a specific date or timeframe for a potential release.
In the comments to his post, the leaker says it is not an April Fool’s joke. However, it could be a kind of test to gauge the community’s reactions.
He himself would find it uncool. Because to first say, “There are no plans,” when it should actually mean, “We’re not sure yet. Let’s see how the campaign does and then we will decide,” would not be the right way to go about it.
He would bet that if it actually happens in the end, Activision would say, “We saw how much the community wanted it, so we did it.”
This is the current official status regarding the multiplayer: Upon the release of CoD: Modern Warfare Remastered, Activision explained why there is no multiplayer in the remake and only the campaign was considered.
It was stated that they did not want to unnecessarily split the community further with a paid addon in multiplayer. Because buyers of CoD: MW 2 Remastered would then not be able to play with players of CoD: Modern Warfare.
Instead, they want to bring back popular classic maps like Crash or Backlot for the regular multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 2019.
What is so special about the multiplayer of CoD MW 2? For many players and CoD veterans, Modern Warfare 2 is regarded as one of the best CoD installments.
Especially the corresponding multiplayer is praised highly and is still considered by many fans and critics as the best multiplayer of the entire “Call of Duty” series.
According to numerous players, the fantastic multiplayer part offers among other things
some of the best and most balanced maps
excellent gunplay
just the right mix of weapons, not overly exaggerated killstreaks and attachments
well-balanced mechanics and progression
The SpecOps co-op mode was also very popular with its missions. Many still mourn the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2 and have longed for a remake.
Whether it will actually happen remains to be seen, but this leak is currently rekindling the hope of some fans. We will keep an eye on the matter for you.
Valorant consciously refrains from exaggerated depictions of violence. How does this affect the age rating by FSK or USK? Find out here at what age you can play Valorant.
FSK or USK, what is the difference? The terms FSK and USK are often used synonymously, but they are two different things:
FSK stands for Voluntary Self-Regulation of the Film Industry. It is a classification of films.
USK, on the other hand, stands for Entertainment Software Self-Regulation. Therefore, it is responsible for computer games.
For Valorant as a computer game, there is consequently no FSK classification, but a USK classification.
At what age is Valorant released in Germany?
The USK rating of Valorant is 16+, despite minimal depictions of violence. Therefore, it exceeds the ’12+’ rating of Fortnite.
What is the international age rating for Valorant?
Also at PEGI, the ‘Pan European Game Information’ label, the age rating is 16+. In the USA, ESRB is responsible, which issues the T rating for ‘Teen’ for Valorant.
Why is Valorant not rated 12 like Fortnite?
Fortnite and Valorant are both toned-down shooters, but Fortnite is rated 12, even though the violence in both games is approximately equally minimal. However, unlike Fortnite, where you always observe your character from behind, Valorant is a so-called ‘First-Person Shooter’, which means it is played from a ‘first-person perspective’. You aim directly at enemies and experience the events up close. From a first-person perspective, a game is considered more immersive according to USK, the player is closer to the action, and eliminating enemies is perceived more intensely. Therefore, first-person shooters are usually rated 18 or, for less intense depictions of violence, 16 by USK.
The Reasons for Valorant’s Graphics
Shooters are often notorious for their excessive depictions of violence. Games like Doom Eternal or Wolfenstein even advertise the ability to brutally dismember enemies. Therefore, many parents are concerned when their children want to play such a “shooter game”.
The new team shooter Valorant is no exception. Like the 12+ rated Fortnite, Valorant refrains from excessive depictions of violence. There are some smaller blood effects, but even those can still be disabled.
That’s why Valorant is ideal for Asia: In addition, the spartan, colorful graphics are well-suited for the still PC-oriented Asian market. There, games like Crossfire are popular because they do not require high-end hardware and can run on many PCs without powerful hardware.
This also applies to the popular PC bangs in Asia, i.e. cafes where you can play on PCs. Games like Valorant also run on older devices.

Hearthstone wants to give it another go. After 6 years, the card game is getting a new class – the Demon Hunter. We show what it can do.
Blizzard released the latest expansion for Hearthstone, “Wonders of the Shattered Realm” on April 7, 2020. With it, the new class Demon Hunter is now online.
For years, the rhythm of content releases has been similar, often not differing much in structure. But now Hearthstone is taking new paths. Almost 6 years after the game’s original release, a new class is coming. We reveal what the Demon Hunter can do and why it will shake up Hearthstone.
Where does the information come from? The information comes from a post by Polygon magazine. The article has since been taken offline; apparently, it was released too early – but the information from it is already known.
What can the Demon Hunter do? The Demon Hunter comes with a whole set of its own cards to ensure it has a basic setup. After all, it has no cards in older sets. Twenty of these new cards have already been introduced. You can get a first impression here:
Demon Hunter Illidan Becomes New Class in Hearthstone
This is the hero ability of the Demon Hunter: The Demon Hunter has a unique hero ability that differs from all other classes. Unlike other classes, the hero ability of the Demon Hunter costs only 1 Mana. It grants the Demon Hunter 1 attack for that round. While this is weaker than the hero ability of the Druid or Rogue, it is also only half as expensive and thus can be used more frequently.
When does the Demon Hunter appear? According to the original article, the Demon Hunter will be released in two parts with the expansion “Ashes of Outland”. First, one must play a small campaign to unlock Illidan and his cards. The campaign is supposed to be playable from April 2. A few days later, on April 7, the class is expected to appear in other game modes.
What do you think about a new class in Hearthstone? A cool idea and finally something new to do? Or are you as a Death Knight and Monk more disturbed by the decision?
The Demon Hunter was, by the way, a long-standing wish in the community – previously Blizzard had fulfilled a completely different wish for the players.

Sony has unveiled the new controller for their upcoming next-gen console PlayStation 5. It is called DualSense and is predominantly white. Instantaneously, fans have suggested possible options for black versions of the controller.
What’s happening? In the official PlayStation blog, Sony presented the new controller for PlayStation 5 for the first time. The DualSense builds on its predecessor DualShock 4 but also brings new features. These include:
Haptic feedback
Built-in microphone
Adaptive trigger buttons
You can find all the information about the new controller in our article:
What does the controller look like in black? One of the major differences from previous Sony controllers is also in the appearance of the DualSense. The standard design is for the first time two-tone with white as the dominant color.
After three generations of black controllers, this change was not well-received by all fans, and voices calling for a black color variation were immediately heard.
Various users on Twitter responded directly to this request and quickly designed possible looks for what the PS5 controller could look like in black:
By @AlphaOmegaSin
By @Muchrush
By @PressStartKofi
By @DanTheNoob
While the general color direction of black controllers is the same, the various designs place varying emphasis on the colors of the buttons.
On Twitter, the various black versions of the controller were well received, and the tweets with the images garnered more than 3,000 likes at times.
Other color variations from fans include: However, fans haven’t only tried the black color on the new controller. There are also red or gray versions of the controller found on Twitter.
The Twitch streamer and designer Dorm even created various designs in the style of his favorite PlayStation franchises, which were very well received by fans:
So in love with the look of the #Dualsense. Decided to make some quick mockups based on some of my favorite PlayStation franchises! #PS5pic.twitter.com/2LJrkxtxlV
In general, it is immediately noticeable that there is great interest among fans for different color variations. After the PS4 controller has been available in many different colors, it is very likely that the new DualSense will receive more official designs over time.
But which version do you prefer? The original DualSense from Sony or the fan versions in black? Let us know in the comments!
The start of the alpha and beta phases of the new expansion “Shadowlands” from World of Warcraft is drawing closer. MeinMMO provides you all the information you need to know about the testing phases.
The new expansion Shadowlands is steadily approaching. Blizzard is currently releasing new information about the upcoming content and the previous testing phases of the addon daily.
If you don’t want to experience the new information second-hand or even help find bugs or provide feedback, you can also participate in the alpha and beta test for Shadowlands.
In this article, we explain how to participate, when it starts, and what exactly you are supposed to test, that is, what is changing.
Sign up for the alpha and beta and participate
Signing up for the alpha and beta is quite easy. You only need to sign up for an invitation and then hope that you will be selected. How exactly this works has already been explained in detail in our guide to the beta registration. Here’s a brief summary:
Make sure you are logged in with your Battle.net account in your browser or sign in.
Click on “Sign up now”
Scroll down the page until you find the button “Sign up now”. Click it.
Check if everything is correct
If everything worked, the button should be grayed out and it should say “already registered” under it.
You will then receive no code, but a notification that you have been approved if you get to participate. Generally, the option “Shadowlands Alpha” or “Shadowlands Beta” or something similar should then appear in your Battle.net client.
However, we cannot yet say how long the alpha phase will last. Initially, there will be little content available for testing, so it will likely be a few months until the beta is unlocked.
Shadowlands changes a lot about the gameplay and story of World of Warcraft. Sylvanas makes a deal with a powerful entity and deprives the Shadowlands of their “life force”, the Anima. Here, we explain in more detail what Shadowlands is actually about.
What new features are there? The Shadowlands are divided into five areas that you can visit:
Bastion, an area of shining fields that is also open for the first tests
Maldraxxus, a zone of rugged battlefields
Ardenwald, a place of eternal twilight
Revendreth, an area full of impressive fortresses
The Maw, where the most wicked of souls suffer
One of the new images shows the area Bastion.
Currently, we know that the special features of Shadowlands will include the Tower of the Damned and the Covenants as endgame content. The tower is supposed to offer increasingly challenging challenges.
What is changing with the classes? Recently, Blizzard has already talked about changes to the classes, as each class is supposed to regain more of its original abilities. This will make them somewhat more diverse and will help them feel more like the respective class again.
However, please note that all information may still change. The innovations are not final and may change until the release of Shadowlands, which may also depend on player feedback. You can find current news about WoW on our overview page.

Chronicles of Elyria is the first MMORPG that died in 2020. It was developed over many years and supported by players via crowdfunding. Now, however, some of the supporters want to sue the developers.
What happened? In 2016, the MMORPG raised over 1.3 million dollars through Kickstarter. Various actions followed in which players could spend additional money, such as for an “in-game Advent calendar” worth $95.
Now, some angry and frustrated players have banded together and want to file a class-action lawsuit in Washington, where the studio is registered.
In the MMORPG, players were supposed to lead kingdoms, grow old, and ensure a throne successor. But we will probably never experience that.
Can they succeed? A player shared on reddit that the Washington AGO has officially accepted their complaint and is now in contact with the studio. A total of over 150 complaints are said to have been submitted.
This was the first step towards a lawsuit against the company. Currently, the former fans of the MMORPG are looking for a lawyer to represent them. Anyone who wants to participate or has information can join a Discord chat.
However, it is currently uncertain whether there is any money to be obtained from the studio. The same court has already ruled in favor of the players in another case involving a Kickstarter campaign. In that instance, it was against Asylum Playing Cards (via Washington AGO).
The plaintiffs have several goals
What is behind the lawsuit? The class action lawsuit against Chronicles of Elyria aims to bring a form of justice to the players. They hope for one of the following scenarios:
Financial compensation for the supporters
The IP of Chronicles of Elyria will be made freely accessible to everyone
There will be proceedings against Jeremy Walsh, the CEO of the company
Additionally, they are currently trying to retrieve their money through Xsolla, a company that handles payment transactions, which has led Xsolla to also contact Soulbound Studios:
Sony has finally revealed the design of the PS5 controller. There is a lot of new information, but not all fans are thrilled.Especially two things unsettle the fans.
However, not all users are excited about the presented controller for the PS5. There is intense debate about two things, which are still only speculations. Sony has not yet confirmed these features.
PS5 Controller – two features are being discussed
What is the first discussed feature? The DualShock 4 has a lightbar on the back of the controller, which has hardly any relevant gameplay functions apart from PSVR. However, the lightbar on the DualShock 4 cannot be turned off; instead, the lights of the DualShock 4 can only be dimmed. The lighting primarily drains the battery, and the controller needs to be quickly recharged.
The PS5 controller will also come with a lightbar. Now, the lightbar surrounds the touchpad of the PS5 controller. Many now suspect that the lightbar cannot be turned off again and will waste energy just like the DualShock 4.
Two things that were already annoying with the DualShock 4: the non-deactivatable lightbar and the L2/R2 triggers that tend to activate themselves.
What is the second discussed feature? In a reddit post, users are especially arguing about one feature: fast-forwarding and rewinding films with the controller’s back buttons. The PS5 controller is also expected to have this function again, so it is assumed.
And many users are annoyed about this. The post starter writes: “Good to know that the PS5 will retain the feature that rewinds or fast-forwards the film every time the controller is set down.” And he is not alone in this opinion:
So writes rustyphish: “This is my most wanted feature since there are no removable batteries in the controller anymore. Please, let me turn off the controller. It drains so much energy while I’m just watching Netflix.”
Also, CyberStr explains: “All the time. No matter how carefully I set the controller down, these triggers activate every time and drive me crazy. Now I place it on a soft surface like my bed so that it doesn’t happen anymore.”
And DarkLordsDaughter adds: “Every time I watch a movie, the fast-forward and rewind functions are on the trigger buttons. And every time you lay the controller on the sofa, it causes fast-forwarding and rewinding.”
Will these features come? Whether the PS5 controller will have these functions like the DualShock 4 is still unclear. Sony has only introduced the controller so far and stated that developers will receive the new controller soon.
This is what the new PS5 Wireless Controller looks like.
However, there is also positive news. Many users are relieved that the PS5 controller is supposed to have a feature that many fans wish for. Many users also like the design. Others are also relieved that Sony is providing news about the PlayStation 5 at all.

In Pokémon GO, your buddy might soon become more important. He is supposed to deliver gifts so you can support your friends even during the Corona crisis.
This problem exists: During the Corona crisis, everyone is encouraged to stay at home. So, anyone who wants to receive gifts in Pokémon GO needs a PokéStop at their doorstep or has to go out.
There might soon be a solution for this. Dataminers have found hints that your buddy will soon be able to bring gifts that you can send.
Dataminers show how to solve the gift problem
This is what has been found: The dataminers found the following text file: “Your buddy has been exploring and has brought back some gifts. Why not send some to your friends!”
This is a clear indication that your buddy will soon be looking for gifts. You won’t need to leave your house and can receive gifts without spinning PokéStops.
Your buddy will soon provide you with gifts
Why is this feature so important? Right now, players are especially dependent on gifts from other players. They currently contain significantly more balls and are important if you want to catch some Pokémon from home.
However, if only a few trainers receive gifts regularly, it creates a bottleneck and some trainers don’t receive any gifts at all.
When you receive gifts from your buddy, you can easily forward these to your friends so that every player has enough gifts available.
Has this change been officially confirmed? So far, this is just a leak from dataminers. However, Niantic has already announced that your buddy will soon play a more important role. So this change would fit.
It is still unclear when exactly this change will be implemented in the game. However, it could be soon, as it is already present in the game’s files in the current version.
The new tactical shooter Valorant plays more like Counterstrike than Overwatch, but Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel shows that the old Overwatch tricks work here too. With a crazy Junkrat stunt, he achieves an impressive victory.
He has since moved away from eSports and works as a highly popular Twitch streamer. He is very successful there because he is both entertaining and skilled.
Many young viewers enjoy watching him play or during “Just Chatting”.
Junkrat has a trick or two up his sleeve.
What did he do in Valorant? xQc is not just a playful jokester, but a good shooter player. In Overwatch, he specialized in tanks, but naturally knows the tricks and mechanics of all heroes: including the special moves of the hero Junkrat.
However, while in Overwatch you know what to watch out for with a Junkrat opponent, that is not the case in Valorant yet. Thus, xQc surprised both his teammates and opponents alike when he pulled off the same stunt with the new agent Raze as he did with Junkrat.

Raze can use explosive packs to injure and push back opponents. However, the pushback works on the agent herself as well. Therefore, xQc utilized the familiar game mechanic and catapulted himself with an explosive double jump in a wide arc around a corner, where an opponent was lurking.
The enemy stood no chance, as xQc lined him up mid-air and took him out. This secured xQc and his team the round victory, and his teammates were ecstatic.
xqc criticizes colleagues who announce their departure from Overwatch
What annoys xQc right now: The top streamer finds Valorant great, but one thing annoys him regarding Riot’s new team shooter. Many well-known streamers are currently flocking away from Overwatch to Valorant and proudly declare beforehand that they have had enough and will not return.

xQc does not understand this behavior: “I really don’t get it. I don’t understand why people have to make a statement that they are giving up on the game [Overwatch] now. I don’t know what that is supposed to mean: “Hey guys, look, I am an Overwatch creator. Hey, I am now giving up Overwatch forever, f**k you all!” That is really strange.”
That’s why xQC finds this behavior stupid: For xQc, the behavior of his streamer colleagues is highly questionable. Because if players eventually return to Overwatch after such a statement, they will appear like cowards and hypocrites.
“You come off as cowards. It doesn’t help, it simply doesn’t help! When have I ever done something like that? I’ve never done that. I’m not such a hypocrite!”

However, it should be noted that xQc has also left Overwatch several times. However, he never made a big deal out of it and did not proudly announce it on social media.
However, xQc recently had to sit out a ban on Twitch because he played a strip tease game.

You told us what you think about the new shooter from Riot, Valorant. You were surprisingly united in almost all points.
What was it about? The first beta of Valorant has already started and Twitch is buzzing with streams of the new shooter from Riot. This is mainly due to the developer’s unusual strategy of distributing beta keys through Twitch drops to viewers.
In a survey, we asked if you are interested in the beta of Valorant. In your responses, you were surprisingly united, both in positive and negative points.
You can find all the info about the beta in our article:
This is how you voted: The survey started yesterday shortly after the beginning of the Valorant beta. So far (April 8, 2020, 11:20 AM), a total of 507 users have participated.
Each participant could only cast one vote. Here are the results:
Yes, I have been waiting forever for such a shooter: 41.82%
Yes, at least to try it out briefly: 20.51%
I will wait to see how it is received: 6.9%
No, the access is too complicated for me: 13.22%
No, I am not interested in the beta: 17.55%
The voting shows a strong tendency in favor of Valorant. The majority of you, with 41.82%, have great interest in the shooter, and 20.51% want to at least try it out to get a sense of the gameplay.
For 13.22% of you, the problem was the unusual method that Riot chose for distributing the beta keys. You did not want to watch streams and hope to receive a key that way.
Only 6.9% of the participants wanted to wait to see how Valorant is received by other gamers before making a decision. Meanwhile, 17.55% have no interest in Valorant at all. The reasons for this were mainly communicated in the comments.
These were your comments: However, a different picture emerged in the comments under the article and also on Facebook. Here, too, you were quite united, but in that you have no interest in Valorant.
Several reasons crystallized for this:
“Artificial hype”: Riot’s strategy of gaining a lot of attention for Valorant through Twitch streamers seems to deter many of you.
The comic look of the shooter is not well received by many.
“Looks like 0 fun to me”: The general impression of Valorant through the streams could not convince our readers in the comments and on Facebook.
No. I watched a stream. It is sold better than it looks, both graphically and gameplay-wise.
Nevertheless, according to the survey results, there seems to be a strong interest in the shooter. Leya Jankowski believes that the boring appearance of Valorant is deceiving:
This is how the GameStar readers voted: The same survey about the Valorant beta also ran yesterday with our colleagues at GameStar. However, their results show a strong contrast:
Yes, I have been waiting forever for such a shooter: 4.45%
Yes, at least to try it out briefly: 8.82%
I will wait to see how it is received: 5.66%
No, the access is too complicated for me: 12.78%
No, I am not interested in the beta 68.28%
Almost 70% of GameStar readers are not interested in the Valorant beta. Only a small part of the community shows some interest in the shooter.
One of the main reasons for this was the lack of uniqueness. Valorant needs “that certain something” that should set the shooter apart from other games in the genre.
Also, Riot’s strategy of trying to appeal to the masses with the shooter has been criticized. Valorant has no clear course that it wants to take, but tries to appeal to both casual and hardcore players. This does not fit together, according to GameStar readers.
Season 3 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD: Warzone has now started. We will show you which content you can look forward to at the beginning and throughout the new season.
But what does the new season actually bring? Infinity Ward has now communicated this with a roadmap. We explain what to expect in the launch week and in the following weeks and months of the 3rd season.
What Season 3 offers at launch
During the launch week (from April 8), Season 3 has already a lot to offer for the traditional multiplayer and for the battle royale mode Warzone. You can expect:
New Operator: the first of a total of 3 new operators – Alex. This presumed-dead CIA agent apparently survived the explosion at the end of the campaign and is now back – but different from how he was known before.
New Battle Pass: As expected, Season 3 also features a new Battle Pass with 100 tiers and over 150 fresh rewards.
If you want to unlock all Battle Pass rewards, again 10€ or 1,000 CoD points are due. If you are satisfied with the rewards from the free reward branch, you do not have to spend any money for the pass. Everything relevant to gameplay, such as new base weapons, can be obtained there for free.
There is also a Battle Pass bundle for 2,400 CoD points. This includes not only the pass itself but also 20 tier skips, allowing you to immediately unlock 20 tiers in the pass.
New Weapons: Two new weapons will be introduced in Season 3 through the Battle Pass:
the SKS, a new semi-automatic DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) of Russian production. It is said to have a higher rate of fire than all other firearms of this kind. But a precisely placed shot should be enough for you to not have to land any follow-up shots.
the Renetti, a semi-automatic 9mm pistol that is said to shine at short distances.
New Multiplayer Maps: At launch, there are 3 new maps for the traditional multiplayer:
Talsik Backlot, a popular construction site map from the first Modern Warfare
Hovec Sawmill, set in a quiet farming village
Aniyah Incursion, a smaller version of the map Aniyah Palace
New Warzone Mode: From now on, you can make the Battle Royale (and also the Plunder mode) of Modern Warfare unsafe in four-player squads. Because with Quads there is now finally a mode for teams with 4 players in Warzone.
Vehicle Skins: With Season 3, it is now also possible to equip vehicles with special vehicle skins. As soon as you get into a vehicle, the appearance of the vehicles will change.
Things to look forward to during Season 3
After the first season week, more content for Warzone and Modern Warfare will be rolled out gradually. These include among others:
More new Operators: A total of 2 further new operators are slated to be introduced in Season 3 alongside Alex.
Ronin
and Iskra
New Multiplayer Map: In the further course, a 4th new multiplayer map will be added to the game – the popular Hardhat from Modern Warfare 3.
There you will fight in a small, winding construction site in close quarters, but you will also have plenty of opportunities to eliminate your opponents from afar.
In addition, the Gunfight mode will be expanded with the new map Aisle 9, which is apparently set in a warehouse.
New Multiplayer Modes: For the regular multiplayer, 2 new modes have been announced by the developers for the further course of Season 3 so far.
Gun Game Reloaded
and Reinfected Ground War
This appears to be revamped variants of the Gun Game and Ground War modes in the infected format. So far, there are no further details about it.
In addition, Sony revealed in a blog about Season 3 two more modes that are set to join during the season:
Sabotage: Players must destroy a target within a set timeframe
Jug of War: Here you compete with the opposing team for the Juggernaut equipment. The goal is to wear it and safely escort the Juggernaut to the enemy base
New Warzone Content: After the introduction of Quads, more content is also to follow for Warzone. Officially announced so far is only the mode Scopes & Scatter Guns. Here you will apparently be only using shotguns and sniper rifles. Loadout drops are likely deactivated.
But there is more to come. If you believe the data miners, the following modes could be introduced for Warzone:
Battle Royale Duos with teams of 2 players.
Battle Royale High Action, where the deadly gas circle moves much faster.
Battle Royale One Shot. Headshots are lethal. No loadout drops.
Realism Battle Royale: Warzone with realism rules, meaning no HUD and increased headshot damage
Hardcore Battle Royale: Warzone in hardcore format: Weapons are much deadlier, no HUD, friendly fire active
New Weapon: Later in Season 3, there will be a new weapon that is still secret – just like the crossbow in Season 1 and the M26-MASS shotgun in Season 2.
However, the picture in the roadmap shows the M249 SAW machine gun at the corresponding spot. It is quite possible that this firearm will be the 3rd new weapon of Season 3.

Gunsmith Customs: In addition, with Gunsmith Customs, another content for the course of Season 3 has been announced. What exactly it will be about is not yet known. It is conceivable to have new blueprints for weapons or the possibility to further modify or color your weapons with the gunsmith feature. The so-called “Frankensteining,” which allows you to specifically modify individual parts of a weapon, would definitely be well received.
PS4 also gets exclusive content in Season 3
As Sony also announced, there will be further exclusive content for PS4 players with Season 3.
What content is PS4 exclusive?
Shoot House for the survival mode in SpecOps.
The Call of Duty: Warzone Combat Pack – Season 3 (Sony Combat Pack 2) for PS Plus subscribers
Wait,Shoot House in SpecOps? While Shoot House is among the most popular maps of Modern Warfare, it actually belongs in the regular (competitive) multiplayer. But with Season 3, PS4 players can completely rediscover this map – in co-op.
There you play as the last survivors and fight together against the AI. You look for the ideal choke point, make use of higher levels in the office building, and block entrances with traps or explosives to eliminate as many enemies as possible.
What is included in the Call of Duty: Warzone Combat Pack (Season 3)? This new mini-DLC is available for free for all PlayStation Plus members. The contents are mostly cosmetic and can be used in the regular multiplayer of Modern Warfare and also with the free Call of Duty: Warzone.
The pack includes:
Operator skin for Wyatt
Sniper rifle blueprint
Handgun blueprint
Tactical knife
Weapon talisman
Animated calling card
Spray motif
Token for 60 minutes of double weapon XP
By the way, the Sony Combat Pack 2 will remain PlayStation-exclusive, like the Warzone Combat Pack, until October 1, 2020. Only then will it be available on PC and Xbox One.
After a less than successful launch, the survival MMO Last Oasis is now progressing well. The team has now released an update that presents you with even greater challenges.
What is this update about? Hard Maps introduces a new type of oasis into the game today, April 8th, following the failed launch of Last Oasis. After a large chunk of ice has melted, new areas have revealed themselves. As you hope to find valuable resources there, you set out for these oases.
However, you will face even tougher challenges than before. The new oases offer opportunities to unlock higher technology tiers, which allow you to create additional walkers and more powerful equipment. And this is very important in the deadly world of Last Oasis.

However, you shouldn’t expect a significant change in this regard. On the contrary. The situation could even worsen due to an adjustment in the kill feed. The kill feed now only shows kills from your clan or kills against your clan after the update. Gankers are no longer taken into account. This means you will no longer receive hints about where potential gankers may be. This is likely to make adventures in Last Oasis significantly more difficult.
What else does the update offer? In addition to the new oases and ruins as well as resources, the Hard Maps update for Last Oasis includes a number of bug fixes.
Ganking will remain a problem for Last Oasis in the future.
Explore dangerous ruins
What can you expect from the new oases? You will explore ruins and mysterious buildings. There, you can find valuable rewards or fight your way through a maze in search of loot.
During your exploration tours, you will find the new resources you need to craft better equipment. However, some of these resources can also be discovered scattered around in the regular world.
What plans do the developers have for the future? The team behind the Steam hit Last Oasis has stated that a major patch is already in the works, bringing with it some significant gameplay improvements. A new type of walker will also be introduced into the game. Players can look forward to some new features.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone, Season 3 started on April 8 and brought significant changes to the Battle Royale. There are now 4-player teams and more is likely to come throughout the season.
What changes can I expect now? The new Season 3 starts on the morning of April 8 and has brought some changes to Warzone, the “Battle Royale” mode of the shooter hit Call of Duty.
Here are the most significant:
Matches with 4-player squads are now possible (BR & Plunder)
You can now equip skins for vehicles
Loadout drops now cost $10,000
Update 1.19 brings changes to Warzone for everyone
What do the changes mean in detail? With the update, the desired 4-player teams are finally in Battle Royale and you can start directly as a “Quad”. The Cash mode “Plunder” also receives a four-player mode.
For the 5 vehicle classes there is now the option to customize individual skins. Through the new Battle Pass, you can directly unlock a skin for the Quad. Under the menu item “Weapons”, you can now make “Vehicle Customizations”. Once you get into a vehicle, the appearance of the vehicle will change.
This Quad skin is available directly with the Battle Pass.
The strong loadout drops, which we recommend in our tips for Warzone for every round, have received a hefty price increase. While they cost $6,000 at launch, the price has now gone up again to $10,000. The equipment crates are still worth every penny – only this way will you get the best perks in Warzone.
Which modes are now playable in Warzone? The Plunder mode “Blood Money” has disappeared, and you can no longer start the usual trios in Warzone:
BR-4 – Battle Royale with 4-man teams
BR-Solo – Battle Royale as a solo experience
Plunder 4 – The Plunder mode with 4-man teams
Teams that have focused on the Trio mode will need a new teammate or fill their squad with unknown players. The playlists will rotate regularly in the near future, but currently, you cannot start normal Warzone matches as a 3-player team.
Season 3 plans more changes and special modes – Warzone Duo not yet in sight
What are the developers planning for the ongoing season? In an Activision blog post about Season 3, the creators go further into what will be coming in the next weeks. However, the descriptions here go less into detail and only provide a rough outlook:
Special modes with specific weapon classes
Surprise modes with different elements
Overhaul of Warzone loot
What modes are planned? To keep Warzone gameplay fresh, the developers want to try out new modes from time to time and play with the available weapons. One example mode has already been mentioned: Scopes and Scatter Guns. In this mode, personal loadout drops are disabled, and you can only find shotguns and sniper rifles in Warzone.
With the different variants of the two modes “Battle Royale” and “Plunder”, Warzone wants to remain exciting for you. However, changes to the map or special events that could further refresh the experience are not currently planned. There are also no official signs yet for a possible Duo mode.
The roadmap provides a good overview of Season 3.
What changes did Season 3 bring for regular multiplayer? There is also a lot of new content and big plans for the new season in normal multiplayer.
Right at the start, you can look forward to 3 new maps and new weapons to unlock as well. The new update 1.19 was packed with content and changes and more has been promised. So hopefully it will be an exciting season.

WoW Classic starts in April with Phase 4. This will introduce a popular raid and the emerald dragon world bosses. Additionally, the fishing competition in Stranglethorn Vale is returning.
What to expect in Phase 4? On April 16, the next major content update for WoW Classic will be released. There are 3 major changes planned, which were announced in the official forum:
Zul’Gurub
The fishing competition in Stranglethorn Vale
The dragons of Nightmare
The update is scheduled to go live on April 16 at 00:01 our time across all realms.
Especially look forward to the new raid. It is the first 20-man raid in Classic and will also bring a special mount.
The fast zulian tiger from Zul’Gurub.
New Challenge and Rare Reward
What is special about Zul’Gurub? The ancient and mysterious troll city Zul’Gurub brings with it, according to the official description, 120 new rare and epic items, including the “Fast zulian tiger”.
This epic mount is one of the rarest items in the game. The chance to obtain it from High Priest Thekal is 0.8%, and that is then shared among the 20 players who are likely to roll for it.
Additionally, the raid is somewhat easier and will be very popular due to reputation and mounts. Random groups should therefore form quickly here and should be able to handle the content well, provided that the tank does not accidentally wipe the group, as in this curious story.
What happened at the release in 2005? Zul’Gurub caused one of the craziest stories to date at Vanilla WoW’s release. Hunters were able to carry Hakkar’s plague, the final boss of the instance, out into the wide world.
This killed countless players and NPCs in the capital cities. The social aspect of this WoW plague was even part of scientific studies and helps some researchers today to understand the spread of the coronavirus.
This is what it looked like in WoW back then when the plague raged.
Quests for Fishers and Dragon Hunters
What else does the update bring? With Phase 4, the fishing competition in Stranglethorn Vale will take place. It occurs on select days, and you should catch as many fish as possible. Rewards include gold and special loot. However, you should have leveled your fishing well in advance.
Especially on PvP servers, this event has been quite adventurous in the past.
If you prefer to be out in a large group rather than alone, you can go dragon hunting. The “Emerald Dragons” guard the portals at the large trees, but they are not as peaceful as Ysera. Also, special loot awaits you from the world bosses.
Meanwhile, Blizzard is likely contemplating how to proceed with Classic. There have reportedly been emails to find out if players want Burning Crusade Classic.

The update 12.31 is here in Fortnite and brings a few bug fixes. We show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
There are some changes and bug fixes that went live with update 12.31.
The patch notes for the battle royale mode have not been released by Epic Games. However, we have summarized the biggest changes for you.
Graphics improvement on PS4
What has changed? With the patch, the graphics on PS4 have been improved. After the last update 12.30, there were bugs that caused the edges of hills to be rendered in blurry graphics.
This has now been fixed, and everything should be displayed correctly on the console again.
The edges of the hills are no longer displayed pixelated
Codaxe pickaxe available again
What was the problem with the pickaxe? The Codaxe pickaxe was locked for a short time, and owners of this pickaxe could not use it.
There was a bug where the pickaxe could deal damage at longer distances and allowed players to farm faster. This bug has been fixed, and the pickaxe is now available again.
What has changed? There was a bug that caused the game to crash when trying to select styles for cosmetics in the locker. With the update 12.30, the bug was fixed on PC, iOS, and Android.
This patch has now fixed it on all platforms. This means that on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, the bug should no longer occur.
What bugs are still in the game?
While this patch fixed three bugs, there are still other issues that remain in the game. These issues still need a fix:
The Skye challenge: Pull henchmen or opponents with a harpoon does not work on henchmen
These three bugs are set to be fixed with the next update. You can find all other issues that Epic is currently working on at the Fortnite Trello.
Controllers do not vibrate when players are hit
This patch has only fixed bugs and brought no new content, but these bug fixes are still important. Especially the bug fix for style selection is essential so that you can show off your cool style variants for Team Ghost or Shadow.

In Pokémon GO there are first hints on how raiding from home might work. Data miners found a new type of raid pass in the code.
What was known about raiding from home: A few days ago, Niantic announced that you could already soon raid from home. It was not clearly defined how this is supposed to work, as they wanted to consider several options at that time.
Now, data miners give us a first glimpse into raiding from home. A modified raid pass has been found that is supposed to be suitable for this purpose.
How raiding from home is supposed to work
This raid pass has been found: This item is called “Remote Raid Pass”. It is supposed to be used when the trainer is outside the gym radius.
The pass is supposed to be purchasable in the shop, similar to the regular raid pass. However, you can only carry a limited number of remote raid passes at the same time.
Raid Passes might also be redeemed from a distance soon
This is how a raid from a distance is supposed to work: If you use such a raid pass, your Pokémon will deal less damage. So you will need more players from a distance to complete raids.
There is a limited number of remote players in the raid, in ratio to players standing in front of the gym. However, it is not yet known how exactly this number looks like.
What is still unknown: So far, it is not known how far you can be from a gym. Currently, it looks like you have to at least see the gym in order to be able to raid it.
However, it may also be possible that you do not need to see the gym at all. The question then remains how you can choose to participate in a raid. All trainers who do not live within the vicinity of a gym would have to go out to participate in raids, should it actually only be possible to raid gyms that you can see.
The Community Day with Abra could take place at the end of April
Has anything else been found? Data miners have also discovered hints for two upcoming events. The Community Day with Abra is likely to take place on April 25. Whether it will be a Community Day as we know it remains questionable.
Data miners have found information about a special research related to Abra. It may be that this research will be the main focus so that everyone can play from home.
There is also data about a GO Battle Day with Marill. Marill is expected to appear as a reward in the PvP league. However, there are no exact details and a date for this yet. We will have to wait. However, this could be a kind of replacement for the limited researches that took place in February with Picochilla.
