Battlefield 6 shows new trailer with PC version, players believe: This will be one of the few optimized games of 2025

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Battlefield 6 has surprisingly released a new trailer. In it, the development team shows how well the shooter runs on PC. The fans of the game are excited and express positive comments.

What does the trailer show? The new video on the Battlefield YouTube channel features a mix of cinematic and gameplay scenes. The trailer promises a resolution of 4K and an unlimited frame rate. Additionally, it supports ultrawide monitors and over 600 customization options.

The prerequisite is that players must have a 4K screen and corresponding hardware. You can find the recommended system requirements here.

The scenes in the trailer are very action-packed and demonstrate how smoothly everything runs despite all the effects. In addition to the action-packed scenes, some modes are also shown, including the construction mode Battlefield Portal.

New Battlefield 6 trailer excites fans

How is the trailer received? The first reactions under the YouTube video are positive. In a comment from Nick930, it says, “Yes. Yes to all of this,” which quite well describes what other commenters are saying.

Many are excited about how good the game looks on PC. They are also pleased that the return of a game has been so well executed and could even overshadow rival Call of Duty.

Some comments even suggest that the game could become one of the best Battlefield titles of all time. User tornikedarchiashvili1774 even believes that Battlefield 6 could be one of the few games in 2025 that is well optimized for PC.

Other comments are in agreement:

  • Jeerus: “Hell Yes, it’s time to bring Battlefield back to its former glory with Battlefield 6.”
  • RaitoRTX: “Give the marketing team a raise.”
  • wilhelmhause3510: “We are so back.”

TheAshehov finds it particularly great that the trailer is a good example of announcing support for ultrawide screens and showing it directly as well. After all, the trailer is also in the appropriate format, which is a nice touch for the user.

The technology appears to be working well with the appropriate hardware in Battlefield 6. However, it remains to be seen how it will look in terms of bugs and crashes. In the beta, there was a devastating bug that will presumably be fixed in the full version of the shooter: YouTuber discovers a devastating bug in Battlefield 6, explains how you can easily avoid it

Borderlands 4: Game Pass – Is the game available for free in Microsoft’s subscription?

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Borderlands 4 is released on Steam, in the Epic Game Store, on PS5 and Xbox Series S|X and the Switch 2. But is the game also available for free on Game Pass?

If you don’t want to buy new games at full price, you can opt for Microsoft’s Game Pass. Borderlands 4 is also not a cheap game at €69.99 on PC and €79.99 on consoles, which is why many players are wondering if the game will be included in Microsoft’s Game Pass.

We will reveal if Borderlands 4 is included in the Game Pass.

Borderlands 4 and the Game Pass

Is Borderlands 4 included in the Game Pass? No, the game has not been released yet, and it will not be included in the Game Pass at launch. If you want to play the game right on release on September 12, 2025, you’ll need to purchase it on your desired platform.

If you’re waiting for the Switch 2 version, you will have to wait until October 3.

If you also want to play online on consoles, you will need to subscribe to a paid service. Everything you need to know about the multiplayer of Borderlands 4 can be found here: Borderlands 4: All about Crossplay, Coop, and Splitscreen

Will Borderlands 4 come to Microsoft’s Game Pass? That is not unlikely. The predecessor, Borderlands 3, is currently included in the Game Pass. However, you should not expect that Borderlands 4 will be added to the subscription service anytime soon. It may take a few years.

If anything changes and Borderlands 4 is added to the Game Pass, we will update the information in the article.

Which monsters are particularly interesting? In September, there are a variety of Mega Raids in Pokémon GO, some of which feature strong attackers. In particular, Mega Charizard X, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Lucario are at the top of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

However, Blastoise, Venusaur, Latias, Latios, and Gyarados can also strengthen your team in their Mega forms if you still need them.

In the raid hours with Origin Dialga and Origin Palkia, you can also obtain the two monsters, with a bit of luck, with their adventure effects. These two monsters are also strong attackers.

September not only starts in Pokémon GO with new events and raids but also with a new season. You can expect new monsters in their regular forms as well as new Mega evolutions: Pokémon GO stories of transformation: What to expect in the new season

A new role-playing game by the makers of The Witcher completely changes how time works in video games and makes it an important feature

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 4 minutes

Games with a day-night cycle often play with various mechanics depending on the time of day, sometimes even with time pressure – or the obligation to sleep. Not so with The Blood of Dawnwalker. At gamescom 2025, MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus got his first look at the new RPG and was immediately impressed by the time mechanic.

The Blood of Dawnwalker was one of the games I was most looking forward to at this gamescom. An RPG with vampires in a pseudo-historical setting filled with Dark Fantasy, created by former makers of The Witcher 3 – sounds like exactly my thing.

On Friday morning, the developers Rebel Wolves, together with publisher Bandai Namco, showed me, along with several other press visitors, how their game currently looks. In a recreated old chapel with gothic windows and chandeliers, we saw about 50 minutes of gameplay.

The premise: The plague threatens the land, and the current ruler murders anyone who is sick, even children. Vampires – referred to here as “Vrakhiri” – do not approve of this waste of life and intervene. They take over the religion and become the new rulers, with humans as… well, a food source, living under the new masters.

While we don’t see exactly how this happens, somehow we as players become vampires – or rather, part-time vampires. A Dawnwalker. And right here, the RPG introduces a mechanic that has been shamefully neglected until now.

Start video
The Blood of Dawnwalker: Cinematischer Trailer für das neue Action-RPG mit Vampiren

Think carefully about when you do something, as time affects your abilities

The main character, Coen, is part vampire, part human. This means he has vampire abilities, but only at night and with a good dose of thirst for blood. In return, he can walk in daylight without burning. And yes, this idea was already present in Blade, but it remains cool.

In gameplay, this translates to vampire powers only working at night. Here we see how Coen teleports as a swarm of bats to higher places, runs up walls, and fights with claws.

During the day, however, he relies on his sword, but can cast magic – something that vampire Coen is not allowed to do. Curses and spells open up some possibilities to gain additional information or complete quests in other ways.

How you arrive at a solution always has consequences and partially influences how NPCs react to you. Day and night are not just mechanics, but an important game element.

The Blood of Dawnwalker makes time a resource – but without real pressure

You have only 30 days in The Blood of Dawnwalker to complete the main quest. That’s how much time the developers give you to save your family. However, this does not mean you need to rush.

Time does not simply “pass”. You can roam the world as much as you want, completely without limits. The open world offers many things to discover, and you should be able to enjoy that.

Instead, days and nights are divided into time units – currently, each consists of five, as far as I have seen. A hourglass icon in the interface indicates when an action advances time.

The developers explain: Time is a resource you can and should use. It’s important to weigh whether you want to complete a quest immediately or if you can afford to wait until the next morning or evening for day or night.

A game from the creators of The Witcher and you can see that

What we have seen of the gameplay, inventory, spells, and especially the combat, strongly reminds us of The Witcher – which makes sense considering where the studio comes from. The Blood of Dawnwalker is not a spiritual successor, but it still looks similar.

Especially in battles, which are repeatedly interrupted by quick slots and a skill wheel, the Witcher feeling emerges. Nibbling on a neck as a vampire or throwing sand in the eyes of opponents as a human are indeed legitimate actions.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is set to release in 2026 for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox; a specific date is still pending. Especially the facial animations still seem a bit rough, but the game made a good impression during the presentation.

Even though I watched the gameplay early in the morning, with severe lack of sleep, and in a dangerously dark chapel, I am still raving about it now. And if you want to convince yourself: Here are 20 minutes of gameplay of The Blood of Dawnwalker.

Player finds 50-year-old guide that tells you if your real self measures up as a hero in the world of Dungeons & Dragons

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Heroes in Dungeons & Dragons have various talents and abilities through which they can shine: particularly strong, smart, charismatic. But how would the real people behind the characters perform? A guide shows how to find that out.

What kind of guide is this? In the Dungeons & Dragons subreddit, a Reddit user NYY15TM shared a guide titled “So you want realism in D&D?” The guide dates back to 1977, making it almost 50 years old, and was created by Brian Blume, a former game designer who also contributed to Dungeons & Dragons in his time.

The guide is for players who desire a method to translate their realistic, “natural” abilities into attribute values like in the game. This should provide an alternative to rolling for ability scores to create a character that closely resembles one’s real self.

To this end, Blume found a method for each ability (Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma) to calculate total attribute values.

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

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

Guide reveals bitter truths to players

How are the real attribute values calculated? Blume reveals with his document how these calculations need to be carried out:

  • Strength: To determine your strength, go to a gym and press as much weight as you can overhead. Divide the number of pounds lifted by 10. The result is your strength value.
  • Intelligence: To determine your intelligence, look at the results of your most recent IQ test and divide the result by 10. The result is your intelligence value.
  • Wisdom: To determine your wisdom, add up all the hours you spend per week playing D&D or working on your D&D campaign. Subtract the result from 20. That is your wisdom value.
  • Dexterity: To determine your dexterity, go to the track of the nearest school and run 400 meters. Subtract your runtime (in seconds) from 80. That is your dexterity value.
  • Constitution: To determine your constitution, try to determine the number of consecutive months in which you did not have to call in sick to school or work. That is your constitution value.
  • Charisma: To determine your charisma, count all the times you have been seen on television or in the newspaper. Multiply the result by 2. That is your charisma value.

Here you can see the original document of the guide as it was shared on Reddit:

What does the community say about this guide? The community jumped on the new opportunity for attribute calculation but notes that the results can quickly go to extremes—and can sometimes be quite nasty:

  • Ribky writes: “With the wisdom calculation, he really hit a home run.” (via Reddit)
  • Sushi-DM notes: “Americans must really have high constitution values because they can’t afford to miss work.” (via Reddit) AnotherBookWyrm adds that “an attribute value of 40 would be in the realm of divine power, meaning the average American citizen would be a deity” (via Reddit)
  • Colinleep finds: “Charisma should be completely redefined with social media.” (via Reddit)
  • dougc84 notes: “I didn’t even know I could have a dexterity and constitution of 0” (via Reddit)

Those who follow this calculation method by Brian Blume during character creation might end up with a character quite different from what they would normally play. But who knows, maybe some of you could become powerful heroes in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, even with your real attribute values. However, that won’t stop your Game Master from making you feel insecure: Game Masters reveal their dark secrets, sharing the best ways to unsettle their players in Dungeons & Dragons

Actually, many veterans of Helldivers 2 wanted to see the newcomers from Xbox lying in the dirt, but exactly the opposite happened

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The players of Helldivers 2 have actually sworn to initially confront the new players from Xbox with harsh reality and show them how the game really is. However, as the first reports indicate, the steel warriors actually have a warm heart.

What was the plan? Originally, the veterans of Helldivers 2 wanted to show their new recruits from Xbox how the galactic war really is. The recruits were to lie in the dirt and fundamentally understand what Helldivers 2 is truly about.

However, the first experiences of the new Xbox Divers show that behind the thick armors, there are warm hearts of the soldiers.

Here you can see how the new Helldivers are welcomed:

Start video
Helldivers 2 invites new players of Xbox Series X|S to great heroic deeds

Veterans help the recruits

How did it go in reality? A new report shows that the veterans do not just want to let the new recruits do it, but want to help them stand on their own feet.

Thus, Reddit user DrifterzProdigy reports on his first steps as a recruit. After the tutorial, he set off for the first mission. His only equipment was a machine gun and a SOS beacon. Both support deliveries were requested by the player.

The SOS beacon acts in Helldivers 2 as an invitation for other players to join the mission. Thus, along with the machine gun, 2 high-level players landed in the recruit’s round. Instead of treating him poorly, they actually provided him with all kinds of weapons, gadgets, and even called him a mech suit. Additionally, they were said to have written: “Welcome, brother, give this a try.”

Instead of leaving him after the round, he tells that the veterans took 3 hours to explain the entire game to him and help wherever necessary. The user describes the experience as follows:

Given how toxic online gaming can be today, this release was like a breath of fresh air, and the interaction with the community was absolutely wonderful. I knew I was in a good community when I accidentally pressed a button on another player’s backpack and he just hugged me and typed “Hold me tight, brother” while we shone in radiant liberating luminescence.

DrifterzProdigy on Reddit

What do the other players think? Both other veterans and recruits have had similar experiences. On Reddit, they report about it and also explain why everyone is in such a positive mood:

  • URZthane: “Welcome to the community! You are no longer a recruit, but a Helldiver, just like all of us!”
  • Worldly-Inevitable82: “You may have waited long to play this game with us, but we have also waited a long time to play with you.”
  • FlyRobot: “I had great interactions with newbies and veterans yesterday. Playing against a common enemy is much more fun than against each other!”
  • sixstringronin: “I think the community is formed because it’s a cooperative PvE game. There’s no competition, it’s just about your Helldiver comrades surviving. I really wished this had also been established in Halo.”

Activating AMD FSR 4.0 – It’s as simple as that in 5 steps

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

FSR is AMD’s alternative to Nvidia’s DLSS. However, you have to enable FSR 4.0 in the settings to use the feature. MeinMMO explains how to do it and demonstrates it using Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel: Rivals.

FidelityFX Super Resolution, short FSR, is AMD’s alternative to Nvidia’s DLSS technology. With FSR 3.0, significant progress was already made, but FSR 4.0 is even better. Nowadays, a variety of games support FSR 4.0, a complete list of games that support FSR 4.0 can be found directly on MeinMMO.

However, those who want to use FSR 4.0 need not only a specific graphics card but must also activate the function in their system. MeinMMO explains how to do it and what you need to consider.

If you do not activate FSR 4.0, the function will not be available in many games. In Cyberpunk 2077, for example, the option for FSR 4.0 is not even displayed as long as you do not activate the function.

Start video
Battlemage: Check out Intel’s new graphics cards in the video

FSR 4.0: Requirements and activate for supported games

These are the requirements for FSR 4.0: Those who want to use FSR 4.0 definitely need a graphics card from the RX 9000 series. Currently, those are the RX 9070 (XT) and the RX 9060 (XT). More graphics cards are expected to follow, and FSR 4.0 is officially not compatible with older graphics cards.

Depending on the game, you should definitely have the latest software version from AMD installed. You can get the latest version directly from AMD.

This is how you activate FSR 4.0:

  1. First, open your AMD software (Adrenalin Edition). The quickest way is from the taskbar below.
  2. Next, switch from the “Home” tab at the top to the “Gaming” tab.
  3. In the “Gaming” section, switch to the “Graphics” tab.
  4. Scroll down a bit until you see the graphics card options. Here you will find the option “FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.” This is the long name for FSR.
  5. Change the menu option from “disabled” to “enabled.” You will receive a notification that your software automatically makes a few settings.

You will now receive a series of notifications from the software at the bottom of the taskbar, showing you that automatic settings are being made in certain games to enable FSR 4.0.

Enable FSR 4 AMD Software 01
For FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, you need to switch the toggle to “Enabled”.

Activate AMD FSR 4.0 in Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel: Rivals

Activating FSR 4.0 in the game: Once you have activated the feature via the general AMD software, you can then use FSR 4.0 in many games.

We will exemplify this possibility using Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel: Rivals. In both games, you must activate the corresponding option in the game settings. You can see the settings in the following two images:

Marvel Rivals FSR activate with arrow
This is how you activate FSR 4.0 in Marvel: Rivals.
Cyberpunk 2077 FSR 4 activate with arrow
This is how you activate FSR 4.0 in Cyberpunk 2077.

If you use the new performance overlay from Steam, there will be a small FSR or an FG (for Frame Generation) behind the FPS display.

Important: As long as you do not consciously activate the FSR 4.0 function in the AMD software, the setting will usually not appear in the game! FSR 4.0 will also not appear if you do not have the compatible graphics card or cannot select it.

Destiny: Rising is now here – The main information in 3 minutes

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Destiny: Rising is the mobile game for fans of the loot shooter. Developed by NetEase, it brings you into an alternative timeline of the franchise, featuring new features, weapons, and stories. What you should know about the shooter is covered here in our brief overview.

What is Destiny: Rising? Destiny: Rising is an alternative version of Destiny that takes place before the story events of Destiny 1 and 2. The game is developed by NetEase, who are known for mobile games like Diablo: Immortal and the hero shooter Marvel Rivals.

In collaboration with Bungie, this alternative project has now been created to also give mobile gamers the chance to dive into the world of the Guardians.

Destiny: Rising shows first gameplay in the trailer

What you need to know about Destiny: Rising

When can I play Destiny: Rising? The European server was opened at 9 AM German time on August 28, 2025. So you can start playing already.

How much does Destiny Rising cost? The game is free and can be downloaded from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

How is Destiny: Rising financed? Destiny: Rising relies on gacha mechanics for monetization. It offers boxes with random items, characters, and resources for purchase.

If you are lucky, you may get what you want from the boxes for little money. If you are unlucky, you may spend a lot of money without getting your desired item – gacha is often referred to as a kind of gambling.

However, the good thing about Destiny: Rising is that using the gacha system is entirely optional. You can also be a successful free-to-play player in the game.

Can I play Destiny: Rising on console or PC? So far, there are no plans to port Destiny: Rising to PC or console. However, there remains a chance, as updates and graphical adjustments through Bungie’s experience could enhance the game and make it more attractive for other platforms.

What significant differences exist compared to Destiny 2? If you come from Destiny 2, you are probably interested in the major differences compared to the Bungie game. You can expect the following:

  • Relies on gacha mechanics to acquire heroes and items
  • Is a mobile game that can be played with a controller

YouTuber sees a much bigger problem in the drama around Papaplatte that costs many creators real money

Johanna Johanna Reading time 3 minutes

YouTuber Timon “Klengan” talks in his new video about the Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller and his former editor. However, he sees the problem elsewhere, namely with the reactions themselves.

This is the background about Papaplatte: In August 2025, former editor Paul “Pamabu” spoke up on YouTube. He had built and managed Papaplatte’s reaction channel “Lattensepp” for 2 years, but found his payment and the treatment unfair.

When Papaplatte did not have a reaction channel yet, Pamabu took the stream recordings, edited out the reactions, and uploaded them on the newly created YouTube channel Lattensepp. Initially without Papaplatte’s consent.

Papaplatte stated in his comment on the situation that the reactions are his own content and that Pamabu had profited from them for a while. This is a topic that was overlooked in the broader discussion around the payment of editors.

In his new video on YouTube, Klengan talked about this very topic and noted what a significant problem this is in the Twitch and YouTube bubble.

Reactions bring imbalance to YouTube and Twitch

What is the problem? Watching YouTube videos in your Twitch stream, i.e. “reacting”, is widely spread in the Twitch bubble. Twitch streamers have their own reaction channels on YouTube that generate incredibly high sums of money.

Producing reactions is seen as a kind of “money cheat”. Twitch streamer MontanaBlack can record the highest monthly earnings from the two reaction YouTube channels. The problem: While the reacting content creators fill their pockets financially, there is not much left for the creators of the videos, both in terms of money and clicks.

Klengan illustrates this with his own videos that were reacted to by Twitch streamers. For example, his YouTube video gets about 160,000 clicks, while a reaction from MontanaBlack on it gets around 540,000 views.

In one video, YouTuber Klengan is ahead of the reaction from Trymacs (Screenshot: YouTube)

Thus, reactions and original videos are in imbalance. Producing original videos is labor-intensive, not only in terms of effort – writing and shooting scripts – but also often in terms of payment. If a video is to be well-edited, an editor needs to be hired.

Reactions, on the other hand, have low effort: A video is watched, paused, commented on, snippets are edited and uploaded. Of course, there are also reactions that have a significantly higher effort, depending on further input provided. However, it often involves an opinion that is expressed by the Twitch streamers about the video and its topic.

What is the solution? As a proposed solution, Klengan shows a method that YouTuber RobBubble has already suggested: A system that splits the earnings of a reaction 50:50 between the creator and the reacting person.

Klengan emphasizes that YouTube’s current copyright system is indeed capable of recognizing when a video is played in a reaction and that the creator is notified as well. A change in this issue seems urgently necessary.

What exactly happened with Papaplatte? In his video, Pamabu accused the Twitch streamer mainly of changing payments. Initially, he was to be paid 25% of the channel’s income, which Papaplatte eventually found too much, so he started paying him a fixed salary in the future.

During their collaboration, Pamabu’s concerns were repeatedly ignored, and the collaboration eventually ended. Papaplatte spoke out in a reaction video on his YouTube channel, but the tone did not resonate with the community at all. The Twitch streamer reflected, acknowledged his misconduct, and then apologized.

The head of Final Fantasy XIV says he is open to mods – But when boundaries are crossed, there must be consequences

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, one of the most popular mods for Final Fantasy XIV was shut down by the developer itself. Now Naoki Yoshida, the Director and Producer of the MMORPG, speaks out: As a PC gamer, he is open to mods, but there are limits.

What exactly upset the community? On August 22, the mod Mare Synchronos was shut down. This mod allowed users to share mods across clients with other players. Player A could, for example, see individual mods from Player B.

The developer received a legal request a few days before the shutdown and decided to take this step. This led to an outcry on social media and a review bombing of the Steam version of Final Fantasy XIV, as many players hold Square Enix responsible for shutting down their favorite mod.

On August 26, YouTuber Xenosys Vex released an interview with the Mare developer. In it, he stated that his biggest issue was the moderation of the content shared by the over 270,000 registered users. This also included illegal sexual acts.

On August 28, 2025, Naoki Yoshida spoke out and wrote in a post on the Lodestone about his own views on mods. He also explains when Square Enix must shut down mods for what reasons.

Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds und Final Fantasy XIV wagen ein Crossover

Even the boss actually thinks mods are quite good, but…

What does Naoki Yoshida himself think about mods? Yoshi-P’s statement begins with him identifying as a long-time PC gamer. He is also open to modding itself: For over twenty years, I have seen how mods can expand the fun of the game and positively influence the gaming experience.

It is important to him that certain limits are not crossed. These include that mods should only be used for personal use and at individual responsibility. In addition, mods should not harm the respective game and its services or undermine the game design.

… when limits are crossed, Square Enix must act

Why is it not good for other players to see other players’ mods? The statement does not specifically address Mare Synchronos. However, Yoshida gives three examples that fit the application of Mare very well:

  • If a player mods difficult-to-obtain armor for their own character, that is okay as long as this armor is only visible to that one player. However, once other players can see it, it can diminish the achievement of having actually earned that armor for those who have achieved that.
  • Of course, it is also possible to mod paid shop items, which could encourage others to also mod instead of spending money.
  • Additionally, such a mod could be used to depict player characters and NPCs naked. As long as only the mod user can see this, it falls under their personal responsibility. However, if screenshots or videos are made of this and posted online, it could have serious legal consequences for Final Fantasy XIV as a game in some countries.

For example, regarding in-game shop armor, Naoki Yoshida also mentions that he is aware of player criticism that more money is flowing to Square Enix through the shop. However, this revenue is important to maintain the services of Final Fantasy XIV. He cites increasing server, energy, and property costs, among other things.

Regarding the third example, he also goes into detail that the guidelines for game content are becoming increasingly strict to protect minors. Final Fantasy XIV is required to comply with the laws of all countries in which the game is offered. Failure to comply could also lead to the cessation of the game.

In conclusion, Yoshida states that he is aware that the most mods were created with good intentions. He also does not criticize mod developers and users. The team will continue to do their best to provide a positive gaming experience.

Naoki Yoshida’s statement reinforces the suspicion that the request to the Mare developer actually came directly from Square Enix. At the same time, it also suggests that the team will continue to turn a blind eye to mods as long as the limits set by Yoshi-P are not crossed – even though, of course, mods and third-party tools are still prohibited under the Terms of Service. In the same statement, he also gave cryptic hints about things that will happen after the upcoming Japanese Fan Festival: The boss of Final Fantasy XIV gives a hint about the start time of the upcoming expansion

The best planet for farming in Helldivers 2 is back, bringing you a currency that everyone needs in large amounts

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A planet in Helldivers 2 allows you to earn the latest weapons in the game in a short time, instead of buying them for real money.

What kind of currency is this? In Helldivers 2, you unlock new weapons, cosmetic items, and new equipment like grenades and boosters typically through war bonds. These are mini-battle passes.

A regular war bond costs 1,000 Over-Credits. You can buy them for around €10 or farm them. Additionally, there are legendary war bonds, which cost even 1,500 Over-Credits (about €15).

So far, Helldivers 2 has a total of 15 paid war bonds. If you want to own all the weapons, grenades, boosters, and armor, you need to farm or buy a total of 15,500 Over-Credits.

The best planet for farming Over-Credits

How can you farm Over-Credits? You can find Over-Credits during a mission on planets, for example, in bunkers, Hellpods, and containers. However, they are relatively rare, and you only get about 10 credits per find, with a lot of luck you might find 100 credits.

What kind of planet is this? If you are currently fighting against the Termites (bugs), you can land on the planet “Grand Errant”. This is located at the bug front in the Farsight sector (lower part of the star map).

Grand Errant is considered by the community to be the best planet for farming Over-Credits due to its characteristics. One player explains on Reddit that with the right team and the correct processes, you can earn about 600–800 Over-Credits per hour.

Thus, you can farm a complete war bond in 1–2 hours. This saves impatient players who want to have the latest weapons as quickly as possible real money.

To move faster, you can use backpack stratagems like the jump pack or the warp pack. You should open containers with explosive weapons or the antimatter rifle. Once you have checked all POIs, you complete the mission without successfully finishing it to save time. You keep all the medals and super credits found at the POIs.

Fans of Harry Potter can simply travel directly to Hogwarts after the summer holidays, and it is cheaper on Steam than ever before

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

As soon as the summer holidays are over, an offer on Steam can send fans of the Harry Potter universe back to their desks.

Which offer is being referred to? The open-world game set in the Harry Potter universe, “Hogwarts Legacy” by Avalanche Software, is part of the “Back to Hogwarts celebration” on Steam and is currently reduced by 80%, available for only €11.99 (instead of €59.99). This is the lowest price ever for which the game has been available (Source: SteamDB).

For those who haven’t played it yet and have perhaps been considering diving into the game and the world surrounding Hogwarts, now is the time to act. The offer ends on September 2, 2025 – after that, the Hogwarts Express will have left.

Here you can see the trailer for Hogwarts Legacy by Avalanche Software:

Harry Potter franchise games are heavily discounted for a short time

Which other games are also affected? The “Back to Hogwarts” offer applies not only to Hogwarts Legacy, even though it is available at the lowest price so far. Other franchise games like the “Lego Harry Potter Collection” and “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” are also reduced by 80%.

However, for those more interested in Hogwarts Legacy, they could also buy the Digital Deluxe Edition for just €2 more (€13.99), which includes the game as well as a few in-game items like the Thestral mount, a battle arena, a cosmetic set, and a dark arts field cap.

Is the game worth it for interested players? At the time of this article, Hogwarts Legacy has a “very positive” rating on Steam (92% of 11,950 German user reviews are positive). The reviews (via Steam) show what players particularly enjoy about Hogwarts Legacy.

  • Commandante SKINS: “No professor cares that you blow everything up with unforgivable curses. 10/10”
  • Nevaraniel: “I’ve read negative and positive things about the game. […] For me, this game is magical, beautifully constructed down to the smallest detail, and I find it fascinating how the developers come up with all this. You don’t have to be a hardcore Harry Potter fan to play the game.”
  • theta_operator: “A fantastic game that offers a very good mix of open world play and story. The graphics are beautiful, and the story is well thought out and always engaging. Highly recommended!”

Pokémon GO Wild Area: 3 reasons why you should not miss the best event of 2024 this year either

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

The Wild Area 2025 in Pokémon GO has been announced. Here, the event is called “Nature Zone”. No matter where: the date has plenty of highlights to offer.

As of yesterday, the date for the Wild Area 2025 was announced, and now further details about the event are known, which will take place on November 15 and 16 in the global variant.

The good news first: The feature that excited many fans last year and made the event the best of the year for some returns: The mighty Pokémon are back.

However, there are still some other points that the event will bring, which already seem quite exciting. We summarize the highlights for you here.

Start video

The mighty Pokémon return

The mighty Pokémon are particularly strong specimens of monsters that you can encounter in the wild. They had particularly high stats in 2024, had a higher chance of being an XXL Pokémon, and also came with high levels. They could also be shiny with luck.

While the monsters were not easy to catch, the catch was definitely worth it. Last year, there were many exciting Pokémon, and this year’s list looks good too:

  • On Saturday, Snorlax, Galar-Gallop, Tyranitar, Flunkifer, Absol, Golgantes, Silembrim, Barrikadax and Maskagato will appear
  • On Sunday, Alolan Ninetales, Galar-Wheezing, Granbull, Houndoom, Gardevoir, Kramshef, Kracko, Piondragi and Snibunna will appear
  • On both event days, Selfe, Vesprit, and Tobutz can also appear as mighty Pokémon – but only with a ticket and when using incense

By the way: There will be rotating hours over the weekend, always with dark and fairy themes. You will then encounter correspondingly suitable Pokémon.

Exciting monsters in Crypto-Raids

Team GO Rocket is also active in the Wild Area and has two exciting Pokémon in tow.

  • On Saturday, Crypto-Cresselia will appear in Rocket-Raids. An exciting Pokémon that is particularly interesting in the battle league.
  • Darkrai will be in the Crypto-Raids on Sunday. This is exciting, as it is the first “mysterious” Pokémon to appear as Crypto. This opens the door for further candidates from the series.

New Shinies and Pokémon Debuts

During the Wild Area, you will encounter three Pokémon for the first time as shinies.

  • Bähmon debuts in Pokémon GO and brings its shiny with it. It evolves into Pelzebub and Olangaar. It can be found in the wild and in 5-km eggs.
  • Brimova also appears for the first time as shiny.
  • And I-Zone W also brings its shiny variant for the first time.

More bonuses and event content

In addition to these highlights, the Nature Zone has several other contents and bonuses to offer, which we will list here for you. There is a distinction between bonuses with tickets and those without.

Bonuses without tickets:

  • You will receive up to 3 raid passes per day by spinning gyms
  • The Dyna particle collection limit will be increased to 1,600
  • 3 snapshot surprises
  • The Safari Balls are back, which make it easier to catch Pokémon

Bonuses with tickets:

Note: The ticket for the global Nature Zone costs 12.99 euros.

  • Increased shiny chance
  • Particle limit is 3,200
  • You will receive more Dyna particles from power sources and while walking
  • Unlocking & training Dyna attacks costs fewer particles
  • Up to 6 raid passes from gyms
  • Double catch candies
  • Higher chance of 5-km eggs
  • Halved hatch distance for eggs
  • Two hours of lure module duration
  • 6 snapshot surprises per day
  • Six special trades per day
  • Halved stardust costs for trading

Many know one of the meanest villains in the Marvel universe only as a hero, but he could conquer the whole Earth

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 3 minutes

The Hulk is one of the most popular characters from the Marvel universe, because he is not only a shining hero, but also a tragic character. But what if all the fears come true?

The character of Hulk is almost always tragic. He has seemingly infinite strength, yet not always the control over it. He is a hero, but also a danger to humanity. Adding to this is the tragedy of his own psyche, as Bruce Banner also suffers from the Hulk.

The Marvel movies have not always handled the Hulk the best, but in the comics, there are many stories that build on tragedy. With the character Maestro, Marvel established a dystopian dictator who demonstrates how dangerous the Hulk can be.

Start video
The Incredible Hulk – Trailer for the Forgotten MCU Movie from 2008

A destroyed future and a nasty Hulk

Who is Maestro? Maestro is an alternate version of Bruce Banner from Earth-9200. His first appearance was in the comic Hulk: Future Imperfect No. 1 from 1992. In the future, there are 2 atomic wars that have eliminated almost all humans and superhumans on Earth. Bruce Banner was captured by A.I.M., an organization often led by the villain M.O.D.O.K.

Bruce escaped and traveled across the land until he reached Dystopia, the former New York. There he encountered Hercules, who ruled as Maestro. Bruce lost the first battle against Hercules, but he did not kill him. That was a mistake, as years later, the Hulk returned and through a trick defeated Hercules and became the dictator Maestro himself.

He created a large army of robots, expanded the territory of Dystopia, and tried to eliminate anyone who stood in the way of his rule.

Here you see the cover of Maestro No. 1 from 2020:

Source: Marvel.com

One of the strongest Hulk variants

How did Hulk become a tyrant? The Hulk’s rage towards humanity grew after he witnessed what they had done to the Earth. He concluded that humanity must be ruled with an iron fist and that only he can take on this role. He lost all empathy.

Maestro is not just another personality of the Hulk, he is a mix of both personalities created through hate. In this alternate future, the Hulk absorbed radiation for years, caused by the atomic wars. As a result, he is even more powerful than the normal Hulk.

He has retained basic intellect, even though the radiation has caused him to become the insane dictator. In his head, there is neither Bruce Banner nor Hulk, but only Maestro.

In a normal fight, the normal Hulk could not defeat Maestro. He could only stop him with a time machine.

If you want a larger overview of Maestro’s appearances, you can also get the Hulk: Maestro Omnibus by Peter David with 960 pages. However, it is only available in English and is relatively expensive for an initial insight.

If you happen to own the game Marvel’s Avengers (it can no longer be purchased), then you can fight against him in the free DLC story Future Imperfect in a new area.

For a companion in Baldur’s Gate 3 you can discover a bittersweet scene when you lead her to the capital’s cemetery.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is almost infinite exploration. Many events are triggered only when you have the correct companion active in the group – like a “meeting” with Karlach’s parents. You can indeed find them… or at least their grave in the city of Baldur’s Gate.

What was found? In the subreddit for Baldur’s Gate 3, the player AutisticDurge highlights a small scene that many may have missed. Because when you visit the large cemetery of Baldur’s Gate in the last act of the game with Karlach by your side, you can find two special graves: the graves of Karlach’s parents.

Arriving at the grave, Karlach speaks to the graves as if her parents could still hear her. She says she is “back” and has “brought friends”. She also tells her parents that she is currently happy and has to deal with some “really important shit” that they might be able to see for themselves.

Your Tiefling companion uses the time to reflect on the past and how her parents died:

  • Her mother died when Karlach was a teenager. She had a high fever and before a decent healer was found, she had already passed away.
  • Her father died during a delivery. His cart overturned on the road and buried him beneath it.

What happened to Karlach afterward? Those who have followed Karlach’s story know that she later fell into the hands of Gortash, who subsequently sold her to the Hells, where she had to fight as Zariel’s “Champion” in the arena. There, her heart was also replaced with a hellish contraption that ensures Karlach can fight more wildly but also only enjoys a temporary life outside the Hells – and time is running out faster.

Community believes Karlach deserves better

Basically, since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, there has been a sentiment in the game’s community that Karlach deserves a better ending. When the game was originally released, there were even no possibilities for a good ending due to some bugs – it was almost always dramatic and often heartbreaking.

Now there are at least a few “neutral” endings where Karlach’s future is uncertain and there is at least a possibility that she has a future at all. But still, many wish for a clear “happy ending” for Karlach – because that would fit well with everything she has experienced so far.

Did you visit the grave of Karlach’s parents during your first playthrough? Or have you always walked past it? Or did you not have Karlach with you at all and missed the scene every time?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is much to discover – and some tricks are only learned by people after over 900 hours!

The Netherlands has accidentally introduced the 4-day work week and shows that work and family are compatible

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Officially, there is no 4-day workweek in the Netherlands, but the labor market has unconsciously adjusted so that many employees still work only 4 days a week. This is also due to the fact that the Netherlands has a significantly more flexible work system than Germany.

There is officially no four-day workweek in the Netherlands. Strictly speaking, there is neither a policy of working time reduction nor a four-day workweek in the Netherlands. However, the Dutch labor market has almost unwittingly adjusted so that companies have practically implemented the four-day workweek without a pay cut, after having practiced a policy of work-life balance for decades.

No official 4-day week, but more flexible work hours

In the Netherlands, the average working hours per week keep decreasing; many employees work part-time, and flexible work models are socially and politically supported. According to data from Eurostat from 2023, the average working time in the Netherlands is only 32.2 hours, the lowest in Europe, compared to 34 hours in Germany or 35.5 hours in Ireland. According to the Financial Times (Paywall), about 50% of the Dutch work part-time, with the proportion for women being as high as 75%.

Full-time working hours also rank among the shortest in Europe at 39.1 hours, only surpassed by Denmark with 38.7 weekly hours. In Germany, the figure was 40.2 hours per week in 2024.

Since working hours are shorter, the Dutch tend to compress them into four rather than five days. Bert Colijn, an economist at ING Bank, assured the Financial Times:

The four-day workweek is now very, very common. I work five days and am sometimes criticized for working five days!

In Germany, there are longer working hours and a stronger performance orientation in everyday life

How does this compare to Germany? In the Netherlands, in contrast to Germany, there is a flatter hierarchy: decisions are often made in teams, and the opinions of all employees are welcome. The working atmosphere is more relaxed and focused on collaboration. This is reported by the Dutch blog Peoos.de.

The Netherlands is a pioneer in part-time employment and flexibility, while in Germany, more overtime is still worked, and a clear separation between work and private life is maintained.

Many Dutch employees consciously work less than 40 hours a week to have more time for family and leisure. In Germany, work-life balance is also valued, but often restricted by longer working hours and stronger performance orientation.

Even when it comes to hybrid working or home office, the Netherlands is already a long way ahead of Germany. In the Netherlands, there is a right to home office (via tagesspiegel.de).

The MMORPG about Elder Scrolls mimics Vanilla WoW, launching a server-wide world event in October

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Elder Scrolls Online have revealed that the world event surrounding the “winding wall” will start in October. MeinMMO summarizes what is known.

What is known about the event? According to a post from the developers on X, the world event in The Elder Scrolls Online is set to start on October 13, 2025. The promise: “A unique event in history that will forever change Tamriel.”

Initial information about the special event was available during the announcement of the currently ongoing Worm Cult seasons. It mentioned a server-wide, world-changing event where the community must work together over several phases to tear down an insurmountable wall that divides the island of Sun’s Dawn into two parts.

Upon completion of the event, the occurrences that will initiate the finale of the current season will take place. The seasonal conclusion will then lead you in the 4th quarter to the part of the island that will be accessible through the event, where new quests, stories, and more await you.

The trailer for the first part of the Worm Cult seasons in Elder Scrolls Online:

Everyone must work together

What does the event remind me of? There has never been such a large, server-wide event in Elder Scrolls Online. But perhaps you’ve played Vanilla WoW or one of the Classic versions and participated in the opening event of Ahn’Qiraj?!

In the discussion at gamescom, the developers told us that the famous event from WoW was indeed one of the sources of inspiration:

Sure – we draw inspiration from everywhere. I experienced the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj as a player, and that is still one of my top memories of WoW. Other games have done similar things, and we look at what has been successful to build on that and create something special.

Similar to the opening of the gates on the WoW servers, it will also be exciting to observe how well the communities of different servers will collaborate during the upcoming ESO event and which region will be the first to breach the wall.

In the interview at gamescom, the developers also revealed what challenges they currently see for the MMORPG genre and in the future and what needs to be done to successfully establish an online role-playing game: The heads of Elder Scrolls Online reveal the success formula for MMORPGs that want to captivate in the future

Pokémon GO gets a completely new item for a short time – What does it bring?

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

In the new month, a new item will be introduced in Pokémon GO. We will explain what it does and how you can obtain it.

Hatching eggs is one of the fundamental game elements in Pokémon GO. To do this, you need an incubator where you place an egg. After that, you must cover a certain distance. There are various Pokémon that you can hatch.

Apart from your primary incubator, all other incubators can only be used 1 – 3 times before they become unusable. Next month, there will be a new variant that you can use more often. However, it is also subject to certain limitations.

More usable, yet limited

What kind of incubator is this? The new incubator is known as the timed incubator. You can use it as often as you want to hatch Pokémon. Its function is similar to that of your primary incubator, as it does not become unusable after a certain number of uses.

How do I get the new incubator? The timed incubator is a reward that you can receive in the GO Pass in September. You will receive it at level 20. However, it is only available if you have purchased the deluxe version of the GO Pass. If you only play the free version of the pass, you cannot receive the incubator.

The regular deluxe version of the GO Pass costs €8.99 in the Pokémon GO web store.

What limitation does the incubator have? Although you can use the timed incubator as often as you like, it still comes with a limitation: a time restriction.

No matter when you received the item as a reward, it is only available until October 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM. After that, the item will disappear.

If you still have an unhatched egg in the incubator at that time, it will be transferred to another, single-use incubator. Once you have hatched the transferred egg, that incubator will also disappear.

Dune: Awakening starts mysterious event for PvE fans, introduces new quests for the first time since the release

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Dune: Awakening have revealed their mysterious PvE event, which is supposed to lead to the big update Chapter 2 with new quests in a chain reaction.

What kind of event is this? The developers of Dune: Awakening have launched an in-game event for the first time since the game’s release. Under the name “CHOAM Salvage Rights Event”, a limited-time action is currently running in the game, where there is even an interesting reward.

Players can look forward to a PvE event in the Hagga Basin, where they will shoot down the Kirab CHOAM freighters with their cannons. The spaceships will then come crashing down in flames in the Hagga Basin, where they are expected by bandits and sandworms.

Here you can watch the trailer for the next update “Chapter 2”:

New quest line leads to Chapter 2

What can players expect? In the survival MMO, players can look forward to a series of new quests that they can receive from the CHOAM traders at the outposts in the Hagga Basin. These are the first new quests since the release of Dune: Awakening and are supposed to advance the story towards Chapter 2.

The missions will follow the trails of the Kirab, including sabotaging their cannons and retrieving valuable cargo from the CHOAM freighters. But not only the Kirab, but also other raiders and the sandworms are supposed to circle threateningly around the loot.

As a conclusion to the quests, a miniature cannon will be rewarded as base decoration, as well as new CHOAM weapons that will come to the game with the event. The event is supposed to take place exclusively in the PvE area of Hagga Basin, so players will neither venture into the dangerous deep desert nor have to compete against other players.

How is the event currently running? Just a few hours after launch, the developers had to temporarily disable the event due to issues. In a statement on Discord, they wrote:

Sleeping,

we are temporarily interrupting the CHOAM Salvage Rights Event due to a problem with the event. In the meantime, we are working on a hotfix and will release it as soon as possible to get the event back on track.

Thank you for your patience.

Dune: Awakening on Discord

When the event will go online again is currently unknown. However, the developers of Dune: Awakening have frequently released new updates and hotfixes multiple times a week in the past, so it is possible that the event will be running again soon.

Even though the event had to be interrupted shortly after its start, it is the first time since the release of Dune: Awakening that new quests and an in-game event overall are being launched. In the end, everything is supposed to culminate in the big update “Chapter 2”.
