Update: The demo comes out on September 10th. We are covering the launch of the FIFA 20 demo here in our live ticker.

Release date and start time of the FIFA 20 demo – When can you play?

The release date and all official information about the demo will be announced by EA Sports shortly before the start. However, looking at the past years, we can make reliable predictions.

The release date of the demo:

  • The FIFA 20 demo is expected to be released on September 12, 2019. This is a Thursday. According to a leak, this date is supposed to be confirmed.
  • A newer leak from the Xbox Store mentions September 10. These two days are considered likely.

In the last 12 years, the FIFA demo has consistently been released two weeks before the official launch of the annual FIFA installment. It will be no different for FIFA 20. And since Thursday was the demo date in the past, September 12 is likely as the release date for the FIFA 20 demo. However, in the years prior to FIFA 19 (such as FIFA 18 or FIFA 17), the demo was always released on Tuesdays, which is why September 10 is also possible.

At what time does the demo start in Germany? In recent years, EA has kept the exact start time a secret. We estimate it will start between 4 PM and 7 PM.

How to play the demo first: If you attended the Gamescom 2019, you could test FIFA 20 early. A beta version was already running, but not in Germany. The demo will be the next chance for everyone to test FIFA 20 beforehand.

Which teams are playable in the FIFA 20 demo? The teams

These teams are confirmed for the demo: The fifauteam page lists 6 teams that are supposed to be confirmed for the demo:

What about FC Bayern? In recent years, Bayern has been playable in the FIFA demo. However, since FIFA 20 they are no longer official EA partners, which is why they should not be expected in the demo. The same applies to Juventus Turin and Manchester United.

What leagues and teams FIFA 20 includes will be shown here:

Game modes of the FIFA 20 demo version

Which modes can be played in the FIFA 20 demo? The demo will be a significantly limited version of the main game. It is still not known which modes will be integrated and how comprehensive they will be, but we expect:

  • Kick-off mode including Champions League final
  • Volta mode
FIFA 20 Volta Street
Can you play Volta in the FIFA 20 demo?

That’s why kick-off is included: The kick-off mode is definitely in the demo; it’s always been like this for the past few years. In this, you can compete in matches with a 4-minute half length alone or against a friend. The kick-off mode in FIFA 20 will be expanded with a kind of zone control.

This is Volta: Volta is the major innovation of FIFA 20. It is a FIFA Street-like mode where you can show off your skills on the street. We strongly assume that you can play a few Volta matches in the demo.

Can you play the FIFA 20 demo online? No, there have been no online modes in FIFA demos so far. However, you can play the demo online on PS4 through a trick.

These should be all the features of the demo. You will not be able to transfer your game progress to the main game.

Download FIFA 20 demo – Download for PS4, PC, Xbox One

This platforms will receive the FIFA 20 demo: You can download and install the demo on PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Origin) as soon as it is available in the respective stores.

Is there a FIFA 20 demo for the Switch? No, we do not expect a Switch release. Last year, there was no demo for the Nintendo Switch.

Will the FIFA 20 demo be released for PS3 and Xbox 360? No. Last-gen consoles will not receive demo versions.

Will there be a FIFA 20 demo for Android or iOS? No. FIFA 20 and the FUT web app should not be confused with FIFA Mobile.

This is how the download and installation work: When the FIFA 20 demo is released, you will find the demo versions in the appropriate stores, namely the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store. The PC download will be via Origin, not via Steam.

For the installation, you will need approximately 7 to 8 GB. Keep in mind that the stores are often overloaded at the demo release, and the download may take a while.

What about EA Access? You probably won’t be able to play the demo early if you want to play FIFA 20 via EA Access.

First FIFA 20 demo gameplay in video

This is what you see in the demo video: On August 4th, EA Sports showed the first live gameplay of FIFA 20. Several fans have now uploaded this gameplay to YouTube, where you can review it afterwards.

It is a match between Liverpool and Real Madrid – which should confirm that these two teams will also be in the demo. It starts at minute 3:47:

Is the FIFA 20 demo worth it for me?

The FIFA 20 demo is worth it if you are considering buying FIFA 20 and want to get an impression of the gameplay beforehand. Since the demo is free, this glance is basically worthwhile for everyone. Even PES fans can take a peek at the competition and play a few matches – or if you do not want a full-price football game and only want to play a few matches against the CPU.

The FIFA 20 demo is not worth it if you have absolutely no interest in football, you are unlikely to get FIFA 20 anyway – and you have no idea how you ended up on this article.

Problems in the FIFA 20 demo: You should assume in advance that the demo will not run smoothly. It is a test build designed to eliminate last issues and bugs. The gameplay experience in the demo will therefore differ slightly from the final version.

Is a code required for the demo? No, the demo is freely accessible to everyone; you do not need a code or key.

What about the PES 2020 demo? The demo of the competitor eFootball PES 2020 has been live since the end of July.

Quick information about the FIFA 20 demo at a glance:

Can you play the FIFA 20 demo for free?

Yes, the demo is free.

When is the FIFA 20 demo coming out?

Presumably two weeks before the release of FIFA 20. We will establish a specific release date at the top of the article.

Is the FIFA 20 demo coming out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC?

Yes, the demo will be released for these 3 platforms. The PC download will be via Origin.

Is the FIFA 20 demo available for PS3, Switch & Xbox 360 for download?

No, these platforms will likely not be able to test FIFA 20 in advance.

Note: In September, EA Sports is expected to release official demo information, possibly with a demo trailer. We will update the article then.

No Auto-Reload: Destiny 2 Shadowkeep nerfs one of the strongest PvE mechanics

It looks like Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is, as announced, discontinuing the popular auto-reload mechanic. The auto-reload will likely no longer exist in its current form. We have the details and will show you what exactly will change starting in October.

What is the auto-reload all about? In Destiny 2, it is currently possible to fire continuously for a period of time with the help of exotic armor pieces and certain class abilities.

The reloading time is eliminated during this period. All weapons will then be automatically reloaded as long as you are in the effect area. This is why it is called auto-reload.

What is so special about the auto-reload? The automatic reloading with the help of exotics and/or abilities is currently an absolute must-have in every challenging PvE activity. Anyone looking to maximize their damage output or that of their team cannot afford to ignore this mechanic.

destiny-2-titan-osiris

That’s why Warlocks with their well are coupled with the Lunafaction Boots or Titans with their barricade are essential parts of a raid team and are also welcome allies in all other endgame activities.

This is how the mechanic will change with Shadowkeep: Already in his first “Director’s Cut” blog post, franchise director Luke Smith announced that the auto-reload could be nerfed in the future.

In the playable Destiny 2 build at the PAX West gaming convention, the certainty has now emerged: This mechanic will be altered with Shadowkeep. Many convention visitors have already noticed this.

destiny-2-hüter-hohn

Specifically, it concerns nerfs or changes to the Titan’s barricade as well as the Warlock’s exotic Lunafaction Boots. Instead of the auto-reload, the ability and the armor exotic at the convention only offer an “increased reload speed”. Weapons will no longer be automatically reloaded in the effect area.

By the way: The status of the exotic Titan chest piece Actium War Rig, which continually reloads part of the magazine of the equipped auto rifle from reserves, is still unknown. If this is also changed accordingly, then the auto-reload mechanic would completely disappear from Destiny 2 with Shadowkeep.

destiny 2 riven

What does this mean for the Guardians? Since its inception, the auto-reload mechanic has always been an essential part of almost all challenging PvE activities and boss fights. Some classes, including certain abilities and exotics, were essentially mandatory.

With Shadowkeep, this change is likely to alter the meta, and the effective build variety is also expected to increase.

Warlocks will no longer be limited to the well but can also utilize other builds. Titans can once again take on an important support role with their empowered weapons of light. And launchers like the Peak may not be as effective as they are now – even if they themselves may remain unaffected by nerfs.

It’s also possible that other weapons like the Sniper Whisper of the Worm could play a bigger role. It will definitely be interesting to see which weapons can establish themselves at the top in light of these changes in Shadowkeep.

What we know from PAX West: Recently, many new pieces of information regarding the major autumn expansion Shadowkeep have circulated due to the convention:

The Division 2 promised information for today, but now disappoints everyone

There is bad news for everyone hoping for fresh information about the future of the game in The Division 2 today. Massive has spontaneously postponed the State of the Game this Wednesday.

What information was promised? Last week, Massive ceremoniously announced that they would return from the long summer break on September 4. On this day – today – a State of the Game was supposed to take place at 5 PM. This is the regular livestream by Massive, where they talk about the current state and future of The Division 2. This weekly livestream was absent throughout August.

Massive promised to present a specific schedule in today’s stream, detailing when to expect what information in September as they approach the next title update. They want to discuss all upcoming changes in advance. Some agents hoped for information about the timeframe in which the title update is expected to be released.

What changes are coming in The Division 2? In the future, some aspects of The Division 2 will be overhauled. They promised changes to the endgame, loot, PvP, inventory, and other areas in the game. Agents expected that Massive would also provide insight into this today.

But that won’t happen this week.

division 2 agent

State of the Game will return next week

This is what Massive says now: Shortly before returning from the summer break, Massive tweeted today just before 2 PM: “Today’s State of the Game has unfortunately been postponed.”

The livestream is canceled. The agents have to be patient until the important new information arrives.

Massive adds that they will be back next week. Then there should be news about the upcoming changes.

Why this spontaneous cancellation of today’s stream occurred is not known. We only know that today an ETF workshop begins, where selected community representatives will discuss the future of The Division 2 at the Massive studio. Perhaps the developers are waiting for the ETF phase to finish before they communicate specific statements about upcoming changes.

This is how agents are reacting: On Twitter, agents are responding in the comments with partly crushing criticism. While some express their disappointment with sad emoticons or silly memes, others write sarcastically:

  • “Great, you’re not even interested in the game anymore!”
  • or: “Well, that’s not surprising, but disappointing.”
  • or: “Absolutely ridiculous. You can’t even get this right. The last of your community have relied on this and you messed it up. Very sad.”

And others write that they now expect at least a short statement from Massive, providing an overview of the status of the next update.

While we now have to continue to practice patience, you can read here the information about the future of The Division 2 that is known. After the next title update, Episode 2 titled “Pentagon: The Last Castle” will start:

That’s why it is especially worthwhile to start playing the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 now

On August 30, Guild Wars 2 talked about future updates but had an announcement for newcomers and returnees in tow. This announcement and a special event provide the perfect opportunity to dive into the MMORPG.

What’s new in Guild Wars 2? With the end of the Future of Guild Wars 2 event, the first expansion Heart of Thorns has become free. Players will receive this automatically when they purchase the second and latest addon Path of Fire.

This change means that new players only need to spend 30 euros once and will automatically unlock all expansions. Since Guild Wars 2 does not require a subscription, there are also no monthly fees.

But ArenaNet has also launched an event to coincide with this change.

For which player type is Guild Wars 2 the ideal MMORPG?
von Alexander Leitsch

What’s happening in the new event? The event specifically targets new players and returnees. From September 3 to September 17, you will receive double experience points on masteries.

Masteries are additional skills like Gliding or Riding, which you can learn in the expansions. You need to level these to gain access to further features like infinite Gliding.

The path to this is significantly simplified by the current event.

New content is already on the horizon

Why is it still worth starting now? With the end of the bonus event on September 17, the prologue of the new Living World 5 titled Icebrood Saga will also begin.

Even if you have not completed every old content by then, it is worthwhile to be in the game when new content is released. Because Guild Wars 2 has a very unique system regarding the Living World:

  • If you are present when a new chapter drops, you receive it for free.
  • It’s important that you must log in once before the next chapter is released.
  • If you do not do this, then you have to pay 200 gems (approximately 2.50 euros or 90 gold in-game currency) for it.

von Jürgen Horn

What can I experience in Guild Wars 2? The MMORPG offers you 5 playable races and 9 classes, all of which can be freely combined. You can enjoy them in 20 Fractals, 7 Raids, and a huge number of open-world areas.

Additionally, there is PvP in separate arenas or World vs. World. The latter consists of vast areas specifically designed for battling over fortresses and towers. There, the game servers compete against each other.

Moreover, you will benefit from many quality of life changes that have been introduced in recent months. These include:

Veterans also benefit from the free expansion

What do veterans gain from the changes? The developers give players who have owned Heart of Thorns for a while:

  • The title “Forerunner”
  • A special Mordrem glider
  • A skin from the shop, although the selection is quite limited.

Furthermore, unlocking Heart of Thorns allows for many new design decisions. Previously, players had to go back to the base areas of GW2 for new collections, as everyone has them.

Now such collections could also lead into the areas of the first expansion.

Additionally, Gliding or Jumping Mushrooms could now receive more attention in future episodes of the Living World, as every player can unlock them.

The new Mist Shard armor from the last episode “Eternal War

What’s the mood in the game? Currently, there is some unrest in the community because ArenaNet set expectations too high with the last announcement. Additionally, players miss direct communication with the developers.

Don’t let this discourage you, as there are many friendly and helpful players in-game who will make your entry as easy as possible.

The new Icebrood Saga starts soon. How well do you know the lore? Test your knowledge here:

The new Twitch star streams WoW from a sparse cellar in Malta

Since its release, WoW Classic has been outpacing its competitors on Twitch. One player is particularly benefiting from this, even though hardly anyone had heard of him before.

This is the new Twitch star: It is about the player Jokerd, who was the first player to reach level 60 in WoW Classic. He showcased his journey to max level on Twitch, and his viewers steadily grew in number.

The special thing about him is that he is actually nothing special. He streams with mediocre equipment from a basement somewhere in Malta. He even showed his place, which resembles a prison, in a short clip.

Jokerd has this many fans: Despite his humble abode, Jokerd according to Sullygnome ranks 1st for the fastest growing channels (+126,661 viewers in the last week) and also 1st for streams with the most peak viewers (319,862 viewers at the same time, as of August 4 at 1:30 PM).

Before his big success, his viewers ranged between 200 and 300, with only ten people watching at the beginning until the numbers increased with WoW Classic.

His maximum viewers even surpass the English channel that streams the current CS:GO Majors tournament by almost 100,000 viewers (233,344 peak viewers). He also leaves the usually most famous WoW streamer Asmongold far behind.

WoW Classic Jokerd dominance on twitch sullygnome

Asmongold, who has been increasingly criticized lately, ranks 5th among the “fastest growing channels”. For the most viewers at the same time, he is in 8th place.

Strong numbers as well – but not as strong as those of Jokerd.

WoW Classic: A Blessing for New Twitch Streamers?

WoW Classic is performing well on Twitch: Shortly after its release on August 27, WoW Classic managed to fight its way to the top of Twitch. It has now dominated the game list for some time.

Even big streamers like Shroud, who is known as a shooter star, have now dedicated themselves to WoW Classic. This may have contributed to him no longer being number 1 on Twitch for followers, but apparently, he is having a lot of fun with the 15-year-old game.

Although these big names seemingly dominate the selection of channels, Jokerd shows that even smaller streamers can achieve success on Twitch through special performances in WoW Classic. A similar case was that of the streamer Dizzy, who was able to benefit from the hype around Apex Legends in February.

Whether Jokerd will continue to pursue streaming as a profession remains to be seen. Anyone who wants to try their luck can find suitable tips for their first attempts with our beginner’s guide for streamers:

Pokémon GO changed the raid timers during the Johto event – Here’s what’s new

In Pokémon GO, the raid times have been adjusted. Raids now last for 90 minutes and raid eggs only take 15 minutes to hatch.

What has changed? Currently, the Johto Journey event is taking place in Pokémon GO. Players can celebrate the event for a week and encounter many new raid bosses.

Now, the raid times have been tweaked. According to players on Reddit, the duration that eggs float above gyms has been reduced to 15 minutes. After hatching, the raids last for 90 minutes.

Reactions to the Changes

What do the players say? In the Subreddit of the trainer community TheSilphRoad, a thread is currently very popular, discussing the new raid times. One player writes, “Sometimes it feels like The Silph Road is Niantic’s only source for quality control.”

What did the players demand? A day earlier, a post in this Subreddit was particularly supported. A player wrote, “Last year, there were 15-minute raid eggs and 90-minute raids during the week with the legendary birds. Niantic should do the same for the beasts and Deoxys.”

The reason given was that it would be a “nightmare” if one wanted to do multiple Level 5 raids during an event. The duration of the raids would simply be too short.

Pokémon GO Raid 90 Minuten
90 minutes raids – Source: Reddit

With this post on Reddit, the intention was to alert Niantic at the last minute about how important the extended raid times and shortened egg times are, and that they should also be utilized in the new event.

User TrainerChops explains why he thinks the change is good: “So we can see faster which of the 3 legendary beasts hatches from the egg, instead of waiting an hour for it.”

What are the problems? This change is not well received by all trainers. The issue with the long boss fights is that gyms are unavailable for longer periods. Some players wish for shorter times during uninteresting raids so that they can use the gyms faster again.

Other players express the desire for the lobby times to finally be shortened and that as a solo player, one should not have to wait so long to start.

What do you think of the new raid times? The next raid hours this month are already known:

EA sends FIFA boss to Europe: New head of Battlefield 5, Battlefront 2

There is a new personnel change at EA: it concerns the studios in Europe. The mastermind behind the successful “FUT” mode in games like FIFA 20 now has oversight of the European studios. They are behind titles like Battlefield 5, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and the “Need for Speed” series.

This is about the position: It’s about the job of “Group General Manager for EA Studios Europe,” the head of the EA studios based in Europe.

He has oversight over:

  • DICE – the Battlefield developers
  • Criterion Games – those behind Star Wars Battlefront 2
  • and Ghost Games – the team behind the Need for Speed series
battlefield 5 x2

Rutter was at FIFA for 12 years

Who now has the job? The job will be taken over by David Rutter. He was previously the “FIFA Franchise Lead” at EA Sports Vancouver. Now he is headed to Sweden, as confirmed by EA:

“David Rutter has moved to Europe to take on the role of Group General Manager for EA Studios Europe and lead the creators at DICE Stockholm, Ghost, and Criterion.

For the past 12 years, David led our FIFA Franchise and EA SPORTS development teams at EA Vancouver and EA Romania to incredible success.”

Statement from EA to VideoGamesChronicle

A selection of FIFA_Fut cards: The best defenders in the Team of the Year.

Rutter is considered the “mastermind” behind the success of FIFA and FUT

Who is Rutter? As reported by the financial site CCN, Rutter was the crucial mind behind the “FIFA” franchise for EA. He is said to be the mastermind behind its rise. He had his hands in the development of the “FIFA Ultimate Team” mode.

Rutter has been helping shape EA’s football series into the profitable monster we know today for 12 years:

  • He started at EA as a Producer in 2007
  • the title saw a turnaround with FIFA 2009
  • in 2014 he was promoted to “General Manager” at FIFA’s Premium Operation
  • in 2018 he became General Manager at EA Sports Vancouver studio
EA-Finanz-Digital
The green area represents the “live service” revenues – here microtransactions like those in FUT belong.

With microtransactions in the “FIFA Ultimate Team” mode (FUT), FIFA makes enormous amounts of money, as shown in every financial report for years.

Currently, net revenues from “Ultimate Team” account for 28% of EA’s revenue – with an increasing trend. A “significant portion” of this is said to come from FIFA FUT. Other EA sports titles like Madden (Football) and NHL (Ice Hockey) also have such “Ultimate Team” modes.

In FIFA 19, players buy “FIFA Points,” open packs with them, and collect player cards from it.

Especially strong cards are rare in FIFA.

Problematic: DICE

What is the situation? It seems that Rutter primarily needs to deal with Battlefield. DICE faced numerous issues with Battlefield 5 surrounding its release, and it did not always reflect well on DICE.

Battlefield 5 is nowhere near as successful as Battlefield 1 – furthermore, there have been tensions with the core fans regarding fighting women or a “too colorful” look since the announcement.

In Star Wars Battlefront 2, however, a turnaround seems to be taking place, as they seem to be able to turn around the heavily criticized Star Wars shooter from its release.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Grievous

This is being discussed: There is already a discussion on Reddit about the personnel change. There are two major viewpoints:

  • On one hand, it has been known for a long time that EA wants to translate the success of FIFA to shooters – this raises fears of more microtransactions and hard monetization
  • On the other hand, people say: well, DICE apparently needs help. Here, a change is welcome

MMORPG Skyforge unexpectedly receives the class that players have wished for years

Surprisingly, My.com announced the release of a new expansion for the MMORPG Skyforge – and it’s already here. It offers, among other things, the class of the Pyromancer, which the community speculated about years ago.

What has My.com announced? The Ignition expansion introduces fire magic into the game and with it the new class of the Pyromancer, after a cool Bard was introduced in December.

Right after the announcement, the expansion was already live and you can check out the new content.

  • The Pyromancer as an additional class
  • He deals ranged damage and wields a double torch
  • The Pyromancer summons small or large fireballs
  • He breathes scorching flames and triggers geothermal eruptions
  • He is capable of summoning a devastating meteor storm from the sky
  • Additionally, he transforms into a powerful fire cat
  • Full-fledged gods can also master the aspect of magic
  • You summon magical spheres that allow you to activate special abilities. These increase your effectiveness in ranged combat
  • Explore the dungeon “Heart of the City”, which can be played more frequently with random events and paths. To enter the “Heart of the City”, you must first complete some draconid quests on Terra

A long-awaited class

How can you become a Pyromancer? It is possible to immediately play this class if you buy the “Pyromancer” collector’s edition for 34.99 Euros. The package also includes:

  • an exclusive mount and a legendary weapon
  • 14 days of premium status
  • 18,000 information about enemies
  • 2,000 accelerators from Aelerium-9 and 1,000 ether accelerators

However, it is also possible to travel to the Temple of the Pyromancer in the mountains of Artem in about two weeks and unlock the class there.

Why is the Pyromancer already known? In 2015, there were already indications that a fire magic class should be introduced in Skyforge. Because at that time, there was no class that could use fire magic. The Pyromancer was speculated about for a long time.

Now, he is finally coming to the game due to high demand from players.

What do the players think about the new class? Many are excited that the Pyromancer has finally been introduced into the game. In addition, many are curious about the story surrounding the new class. How does fire magic return?

There is great joy in finally being able to try out and master a new class, and many want to find out how the Pyromancer plays over the long term.

From today, you can check out the new class in the MMORPG Skyforge on PC and PS4. The Xbox One version will receive the update on September 5.

Mordhau player defeats developer in duel with silly weapon, gets kicked for it

When a really good player meets one of the developers in Mordhau , it promises an interesting fight. In this case, however, the developer was properly beaten and retaliated with a kick from the server.

Who fought there? The streamer GIRU fought in a duel against the developer Crush. GIRU is considered one of the best Mordhau players overall. He regularly streams his adventures in the sword fighting game on Twitch, where he averages between 300 and 400 viewers (via sullygnome).

This is how the fight went: GIRU and Crush faced each other on a duel server, where no one else was fighting except the two opponents. Such servers are often set up by the community, but have also been officially available since the end of August.

The fight was somewhat unequal. Crush came in full plate armor with a heavy polearm, a berdysch. GIRU, on the other hand, opted for simple peasant clothing and one of the weapons that can really humiliate opponents: a frying pan.

After a few exchanges, Crush finally goes down. GIRU acknowledges his victory with a casual “GG” before he receives the message that he has been kicked from the server. This causes him and his chat to burst into laughter.

If you want to rake in some serious kills yourself, we have 7 builds for Mordhau that will really rock for you here.

What is actually happening in Mordhau?

This is what’s going on: Recently, things have become quieter around Mordhau after the waves had to calm down following a larger issue with the toxic community.

Mordhau Multiplayer

The developers had a lot to deal with, both fighting against the toxic community and combating racism allegations. At the same time, they were planning some new features for Mordhau, such as:

  • the new map Castello
  • ranked modes in duels that have already been implemented
  • new servers

Moreover, the developers continue to work on bug fixes and the quality of the game. Just at the beginning of September, Patch 10 with some gameplay improvements was released. The developers’ love for the game also has very special reasons:

Fortnite brings new Zapper trap in the patch, but disables it right away

On September 3, 2019, Fortnite released Patch 10.20. With the patch, they introduced the new Zapper Trap, but only a few hours after the release, the trap was removed.

What happened? The Zapper Trap was added to the game with Patch 10.20, but was removed again after just a few hours.

Some players reported being kicked from ongoing matches. Afterwards, Epic reported on Twitter and in-game that the Zapper Trap would be disabled until a solution was found.

Update – September 4, 6:30 PM: Fortnite has reactivated the Zapper Trap.

What could be the reason? Fortnite itself has not disclosed the reasons why the Zapper Trap was removed. It is possible that the trap was related to players consistently being kicked from matches.

On the other hand, there may have been a bug with the trap that affected building.

A video circulating on Reddit shows a possible reason. The video was posted by @u/XOJAYTEE.

The video shows what happens when you have the Zapper Trap equipped and press the edit button before throwing the trap. The trap then does not place as intended on the wall, but rather on the ground in front of it.

What happens next? Fortnite mentioned in the tweet that the issue with players being kicked from matches has been resolved. However, they have not provided any further information about the Zapper Trap. The developers will let players know when the trap is reintroduced into the game.

Does this happen often? Those who know Fortnite will be aware that these situations have occurred frequently. A new item is introduced into the game and then removed again shortly thereafter. In one update, the new Scrap Burst was also temporarily removed due to a bug.

Were you able to try out the new trap or was it already gone?

Crowfall vs. Camelot Unchained - Who handles the release date more strangely?

Many are waiting for the release of the MMORPGs Crowfall and Camelot Unchained. However, there is no date, and the developments are dragging on longer and longer. Now the community is jokingly discussing the launch of the games.

What are the players discussing? A discussion has emerged on Reddit about the “battle of the release dates” between Crowfall and Camelot Unchained. Which of the games will be released first?

However, the discussion is not entirely serious, as much joking is being made about the development of both titles.

Why are the players making fun of it? Both titles have been in development for a very long time, but a release is still not in sight. Everything is getting delayed further and further. No one knows when to expect the launch.

Crowfall and Camelot Unchained also have a strange way of handling their releases, which we will examine more closely.

This is what the development of Crowfall and Camelot Unchained looks like

What does the development of Crowfall look like? The players have compared the development of the two MMORPGs.

This is how the development of Crowfall has looked so far:

  • The MMORPG was announced in 2015
  • A Kickstarter campaign took place in the same year, raising nearly 1.8 million dollars
  • The first pre-alpha also started in 2015
  • Now it is 2019, and fans are waiting for the beta of the MMORPG
  • The first campaign is already active, and the Eternal Kingdoms are also already in the game. It is being optimized further and new content is being added
  • The release is planned as a soft launch. This means that the developers will bring the game from beta to official launch without much fanfare
  • The engine is now also being licensed to other developers, which provides an additional source of income
  • There are already events in the game through which you can gain advantages at launch
  • For years it has been said that the next year would see a “soft launch”
  • As of today, September 2019, there is still no release date

What does the development of Camelot Unchained look like? Fans of the spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot have been waiting a bit longer:

  • Shortly before Christmas 2012, Camelot Unchained was announced
  • A Kickstarter campaign took place in 2013, raising around 2.2 million dollars for the developers
  • Over the years, there have been plenty of adjustments and changes to the game. Among other things, the entire skill system had to be replaced
  • In 2018, the developers received a financial boost of 7.5 million dollars
  • The MMORPG is currently in beta phase, where participants are battling siege battles. The start of this beta has, however, been postponed repeatedly
  • The beta does not take place continuously but rather at specific times
  • The game received a new UI
  • Even in September 2019, there is still no release date for the game – a statement from January 2018 indicated that the release was planned for 2019, but that is likely no longer feasible

Which game is further along in development? Camelot Unchained has been in development for a longer time, while Crowfall gives the impression of being further along. However, it is hard to say precisely, as one cannot see behind the scenes of development.

Both games, however, are not at a stage where a launch is in the foreseeable future.

Crowfall The Fortunes of War Winter and Hunger

A long development time

Why does development take so long? One must consider that relatively small and independent development teams are trying to create gigantic MMOs. This not only requires a lot of time but also consumes a lot of money.

Moreover, unforeseen problems can always arise during game development, such as with the skill system of Camelot Unchained.

Additionally, Camelot Unchained simply has difficulties finding personnel, as noted by Marc Jacobs. All tech companies are fishing from the same pool for skilled professionals.

One should also keep in mind that the developers involve the community in the development process from the beginning. Otherwise, people only hear about titles when they are very far along, and even then, it often takes years for them to be released.

camelot-unchained-bloom-2
Looks nice, but it still takes a while – a polished screenshot.

What does the community think about which MMORPG will be released first? In the community, there is joking speculation about whether the games even still exist. Some believe that even with a release, neither title will survive long.

Many think it will still take a while before we experience the official launch of Camelot Unchained and Crowfall.

There is an opinion that Crowfall might be released slightly earlier than Camelot Unchained.

Which game is handling its release date more strangely? Both titles have been in development for a long time, and with both, it is simply unclear when the launch will take place.

Betas are being postponed, systems are being overhauled, development is generally progressing rather slowly, yet events are taking place… It is a strange development that both MMORPGs are undergoing.

However, there is a feeling that Crowfall has a slightly better structure and leaves a more playable impression. Camelot Unchained seems to lag behind Crowfall despite its longer development time. Thus, one could say that the development of Camelot Unchained is indeed a bit stranger.

What do you think? Which of the two MMORPGs do you believe will be released first?

Apex Legends: Everything about the new Voidwalker event – Patch notes and content

In Apex Legends, the new Voidwalker event has started. We will tell you everything you need to know about it and look at the patch notes.

What kind of event is this? The new Voidwalker event revolves around Wraith and her mysterious origin in the labs beneath King’s Canyon. The event includes:

  • Changes to the map
  • Several challenges for new items that can be earned for free
  • A new, time-limited mode
  • New skins available for purchase in the shop
  • A Double XP event from September 6-9
  • Some bug fixes and further changes.
apex legends voidwalker wraith

When does it start and how long does it last? The event started yesterday, on the evening of September 3, and will run for two weeks until September 17.

Patch notes from September 3 for Apex Legends

How the map is changing: In King’s Canyon, several accesses to laboratories underground have been opened. Here, battles can take place – and there is loot.

In addition to the new laboratories, a new portal has appeared on the map that leads exactly into this underground and out again. It works similarly to the portal ability of Wraith, but on a much larger scale.

When you jump, you can enter it directly in flight to land immediately on the ground, or use it on the ground to be thrown back into the air. You can take a closer look at how it works in the video.

New Mode with Special Rules

This is how the new mode “Armed and Dangerous” works: The time-limited game mode “Armed and Dangerous” transforms the already fast-paced gameplay of Apex Legends into an even wilder slaughter. This is ensured by some special rules:

  • Only sniper rifles and shotguns (including the hated Mozambique) are available as weapons.
  • Gold variants of the weapons can be found in “High Tier” zones.
  • Kraber and Mastiff can be found in later airdrops and rarely on the ground.
  • Only attachments for these weapons can be found.
  • All ammunition except shotguns has smaller stack sizes.
  • Only “white” armor and helmets can be found, and even that less frequently.
  • There is generally 45% less loot to be found (excluding crates).
  • More syringes but fewer shield batteries can be found.
apex-legends-bangelore-explosion-titel-01

The new mode makes you all glass cannons, who can easily eliminate an opponent with a few shots, but can also be killed just as quickly.

These adjustments take place: There are fewer adjustments with this patch. The Triple Take now has wider projectiles and submachine guns can no longer be equipped with the 3x HCOG and 2x-4x ACOG.

Additionally, the new legend Wattson has been adjusted. Her ability “Interceptor Pylon” can only deploy one pylon now. She also receives the “low profile attribute” that has already been applied to Wraith, Pathfinder, and Lifeline.

This gives her 5% more damage to her hit points. This is likely related to the hitboxes. The other tanks, Gibraltar and Caustic, however, receive 10% and later 15% less damage since an earlier patch.

Apex Legends Wattson surprised look title better

Several bugs have also been fixed and conveniences introduced. Now there is finally the promised feature for automatic sprinting for all platforms. You can find the complete list of changes on the official site.

Destiny 2: Leak shows new raid weapons with extraordinary design

Images of two raid weapons from the new Shadowkeep raid Garden of Salvation have surfaced in Destiny 2. They have a cool look.

What kind of leak is it? In recent days, the gaming convention PAX West was held, where curious Guardians could test fresh content from Shadowkeep and Season 8.

Sneaky players took the chance to secretly take photos of some new features and posted them directly on Reddit to show them to the Guardians.

Just a few days ago, a Guardian posted the entire raid collection from “Garden of Salvation” online, which includes the raid exotic:

raid-gear-shadowkeep

While the armor pieces are merely reskins of known armor, the raid weapons surprise with an extravagant design. A new leak now shows images of the raid hand cannon and the raid fusion rifle.

Weapons in Zebra Look

This is the hand cannon Ancient Gospel: It is a solar hand cannon with a 140 rate of fire – the same as the Pikass. Very few perks are displayed:

destiny 2 shadowkeep ancient gospel

This is the fusion rifle Zealot’s Reward: This fusion rifle deals void damage and has a charge time of 540.

destiny 2 shadowkeep zealots reward

Both weapons share a similar design. Thin white lines coil around the weapon. They are described by the community as resembling a zebra pattern or contour lines on maps.

The Redditor who shared these images writes that white particles pulsate and flow over the weapon. It looks really cool.

The overall look is quite metallic, but the pulsating white lines add an organic touch. The Vex would be proud of this design.

Whether this leak is “real” is hard to verify. But the images at least look real and match the top image showing the raid collection.

Note: The title image of this article shows an official scene from the new Shadowkeep raid “Garden of Salvation.” Little is known about this raid so far. A signal is said to emerge from the darkness and echo across dimensions into the wilderness of the Black Garden, according to Bungie. We know that the raid will lead into the Black Garden, and the Vex will also be involved. More about this here:

Fortnite sues 14-year-old cheater and he just keeps cheating

In Fortnite , Epic is once again taking legal action against an alleged cheater. The 14-year-old appears to be particularly persistent. Epic states that despite the lawsuit, he just keeps going.

This is Epic’s stance on cheaters: In the past, Epic has taken a clear position against cheaters in Fortnite:

Epic was already in the news in 2018 when they sued a 14-year-old whose mother defended him in a letter. This time, however, it is about another boy.

Fortnite Ninja Title new Format

Epic has sued the boy, among other things, for copyright infringement: When someone creates a cheat, they have to tinker with the code. For that, Epic wants to hold him accountable.

This is how the boy responded to the lawsuit: It concerns the YouTuber CBV. He has discussed the topic “I am being sued by Epic” in several YouTube videos.

At first, he reacted angrily. He said, “Fuck Epic Games,” they wanted to drive his family into bankruptcy.

Later, the 14-year-old stated that he had received “30,000 pages” in the mail from Epic. He thought it was strange that they were suing him, but he has a good lawyer and is not too worried.

In the video, you see him flipping through the files – to terribly distorted music.

Lawyer: He is a minor, you cannot sue him

This is how the boy is defending himself against the lawsuit: As Torrentfreak reports, the boy’s lawyer has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The lawyer wrote to the court, among other things,

  • the boy is a minor, and therefore cannot enter into a contract that he could then violate
  • the boy lives in Illinois and has no connection to the jurisdiction of North Carolina (where Epic Games is located) – thus, the court is not competent
  • in other states, it is completely unreasonable to expect a minor to defend themselves
fortnite-minecraft-titel-01

Epic says: He just keeps going

This is how Epic responds: Epic has now responded to this motion to dismiss and stated that even the lawsuit has not stopped the boy from cheating. Epic wrote:

“In an 87-minute long video, the defendant announced that he is now streaming for the first time since the lawsuit. After that, he live-streamed himself logging into Fortnite and demonstrated the hacks while playing the game.”

The boy’s defense, that he is immune to consequences because he is too young or that the court lacks jurisdiction, would not be convincing. The boy must be aware of the potentially illegal nature of his actions. After all, he has been:

  • banned
  • subject to multiple copyright strikes
  • and sued

Nevertheless, he just keeps going, according to Epic. The boy is not only cheating in Fortnite, but also continues to release videos promoting and supporting cheat software that violates Epic’s copyrights.

In a free-to-play game like Fortnite, where account bans offer little deterrence, cheats are a constant problem:

What is Disintegration and why does it look so similar to Destiny?

At Gamescom, the developer studio V1 Interactive showcased the shooter Disintegration, which may appear visually reminiscent of Destiny, but is said to play very differently. We present the title in a bit more detail.

What is Disintegration? The shooter places you in a future where humans transfer their brains into robot bodies. They fight against the overwhelmingly powerful faction Rayonne, which aims to exterminate humanity.

  • Disintegration features a single-player campaign in which you take on the role of Romer Shoal, who gets drawn into this conflict with his crew while trying to regain his human body
  • The game combines shooter and strategy elements
  • You command a unit of soldiers and engage in battles with your Gravcycle, a kind of hover bike
  • There are several Gravcycles with different characteristics
  • It is necessary to deploy your troops tactically, as each unit has special abilities
  • Multiplayer takes place in three modes

In the trailer, you can see for yourself. While the design of Disintegration is strongly reminiscent of Destiny, the gameplay is entirely different:

https://youtu.be/f0AeSDjUVjs

When is the game coming out? Disintegration is set to be released in 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Shooter and Strategy in One

What is special about the game? Disintegration is not a typical shooter. Rather, the title mixes shooter elements with strategy.

You actively play as your commander, who zooms across the landscape on a Gravcycle and can intervene in the action. However, it is also necessary to direct a troop of soldiers. You give them orders and need to keep an eye on them.

Disintegration Combat Screenshot

How does the multiplayer mode work? So far, the “Retrieval” mode has been demonstrated. This shows very well how the actual gameplay principle of Disintegration works.

  • In Retrieval, five players face off against five others. Each controls their commander and a small troop of NPC soldiers
  • Your task is to transport a bomb to the enemy base and blow it up
  • You must protect your troops and give them orders
  • You don’t have unlimited time, as the bomb timer is ticking. When time runs out, it explodes, no matter where you are
  • It is important to proceed in a coordinated manner, use the units tactically, and communicate within the team

Why does the game look so similar to Destiny? Disintegration is developed by Marcus Lehto, former Art Director at Bungie. He explains that the look of this game is simply in his DNA. He loves this kind of science fiction, which is why his new game visually resembles Halo and Destiny.

However, Lehto wants to offer something different and new in terms of gameplay. The actual concept of Disintegration is not based on Halo or Destiny, but on Bungie’s strategy game Myth from 1997.

Lehto explains that he wanted to expand the principle of a real-time strategy game and hence introduced shooter elements and hover bikes. Additionally, he wanted to set the story in a science fiction scenario.

Looks Like Destiny, But It Isn’t

Is the game aimed at Destiny fans? Disintegration is not a shooter in the traditional sense and does not play that way either. As a Destiny fan, one must engage with the strategy elements. This brings a new dimension, whether it will appeal to every shooter fan remains to be seen.

Disintegration Screenshot Command

What do players say about Disintegration? Players are currently showing some skepticism, but also interest. There is some surprise that Disintegration looks so much like Destiny, yet offers a different gameplay principle. However, this gameplay also sparks the interest of some players.

On Reddit, Boltty states: “The idea of not having a pair of boots on the ground and instead flying a heavily armed hover bike is refreshing and, in combination with a controllable AI squad, piques my interest.”

What do you think about Disintegration? Could the mix of shooter and strategy work?

Pokémon GO: The chance of encountering an Unown at the event is now increased

Icognito are among the rarest monsters in Pokémon GO. With the ultra bonus currently active, your chances of finally catching an Icognito are increasing.

These are Icognito: The special Pokémon Icognito was introduced in Generation 2 and exists in a total of 28 variants. Icognito resemble the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus two punctuation marks.

In Pokémon GO, you may not have encountered them often yet – the letter Pokémon is extremely rare. But that’s exactly why many trainers want to have the Pokémon – preferably all 28 forms.

The ultra bonus gives you the corresponding Icognito forms

Icognito frequency with ultra bonus

This is what the ultra bonus changes: The first week of the ultra bonus has been running for a few days now. The “Johto Journey” event not only brings you new raid bosses in September but also a great chance to finally get an Icognito for your PokéDex.

Because: Currently, the Icognito forms “U”, “L”, “T”, “R”, and “A” are hatching from 10-kilometer eggs. Since incubators are currently working twice as fast due to the ultra bonus, you only need to walk five kilometers to hatch the egg.

Here are the chances of getting an Icognito: Sure, even the hatchable Icognito variant is rare. In the official announcement of the event, it was said: “If you are really lucky, the Icognito forms” may hatch from the eggs.

Pokemon Icognito
You rarely catch a glimpse of Icognito

In the Pokémon subreddit, many trainers have come together to compile an initial catch rate – or hatch rate. According to initial measurements from The Silph Road, the chance of getting an Icognito from a 10-km egg is about 20.4%. When looking at the 10-kilometer eggs alone, The Silph Road states that for three hatched 10-kilometer eggs, there is a 50 percent chance of getting Icognito. For four eggs, it’s 60%, for 6 eggs 75%, for 10 eggs 90%, and for 20 eggs 99%. Keep in mind that these are still preliminary results that may be adjusted in the coming days.

You shouldn’t expect to get an Icognito from your first 10-kilometer egg. However, the event still represents a very good opportunity to finally get the sought-after Icognito.

Currently, some trainers are facing the problem of finding very few 10-kilometer eggs – Icognito do not hatch from the other eggs. There are many complaints from trainers who found only a handful of 10-km eggs during the event, some even less.

“I’m only getting 5k and 2k” writes a trainer on Reddit. Another says: “I’ve found 27 eggs but haven’t gotten a 10-km egg yet.”

von Patrick Freese

Where else can you find Icognito?

Icognito in the wild: In theory, you could come across Icognito while playing normally. However, this is rare. In the wild, Icognito are hardly found. They do not have their own nests.

Icognito at events: At real-life events like Safari Zones, Icognito appear more frequently. The forms then depend on the respective event. At the Chicago GO Fest, for example, the Icognito “C”, “H”, “I”, “A”, “G”, and “O” were available, while at the MAG Erfurt the forms “M”, “A”, “G”, and “!” were available. Traveling to these events is not always easy and may not be a goal for casual players.

Pokémon GO Icognito Forms
Getting them all is incredibly difficult.

What’s the use of Icognito? In battles, none of the 28 forms of Icognito will be your first choice. It is rather a collector’s item – and you need it to complete the PokéDex. Accordingly, Icognito is more for collectors. There is only one entry for Icognito in the PokéDex, where you can scroll through the different versions of the monster that you have already caught.

The greatest achievement for Icognito collectors is the Icognito medal. You achieve gold status when you catch 26 Icognito – although each form counts only once.

Icognito remain extremely rare – but it is possible that you might get lucky with the ultra bonus and catch one! The Pokémon in EX Raids are also difficult to obtain – there might be a new boss from mid-September:

With these contents, Ghost Recon Breakpoint wants to captivate you after launch

Not long now, and the tactical shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be ready for launch. Ubisoft recently revealed what content players can expect after the launch. Here, we present the roadmap.

The following content is planned: Ubisoft recently released the roadmap for the upcoming Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It lists the content that is set to ensure players won’t get bored after the launch of the shooter in Year 1.

The first year of Breakpoint is divided into three episodes, with the first episode starting right at the release of the game:

  • Episode 1: Operation Greenstone – starts with the launch on October 4, 2019
  • Episode 2: Winter 2020
  • Episode 3: Summer 2020
Ghost Recon Breakpoint Roadmap

Roadmap for Ghost Recon Breakpoint in Year 1 – What’s Included

The following content is coming: Each episode brings new content. According to the roadmap, new raids, events, and even new classes are expected. In addition, there will be regular live events, PvP updates, and more new content, such as missions and activities.

Adventures

Each of the three episodes is expected to add new adventures to the game that tie into and continue the main story. These story missions are approximately five hours long each.

Owners of the Year 1 Pass will automatically gain access to the adventures. All other players can try out the first part of an adventure (about one hour) for free.

Raids

A new raid will be added in each episode. Raids are designed for four players and are meant to provide an “intense co-op experience.”

The first raid, Project Titan, comes directly with Episode 1 and takes you to an active volcano. There, you will face challenges that test all the skills you have learned during your time in Aurora.

Faction Missions

In the game, you will encounter different factions that are expected to evolve further. New missions are scheduled to be released each month, explaining the factions further and providing character development.

Players can access new faction missions every day. In an interview with Game Rant, Breakpoint developers Eric Couzain and Nouredine Abboud mentioned that twelve new faction missions will be available every day. These types of missions could continue “forever,” according to the developers.

Classes

According to the roadmap, a new class will be added in each episode. In Episode 1, Operation Greenstone, players will receive the Engineer. This class specializes in hacking and heavy weapons.

The new classes can be played in PvE and in PvP, such as the Ghost War mode. Owners of the Year 1 Pass can access the new classes one week earlier than other players.

What you should note: Your game world in Remnant develops randomly. This means that each game is different and is dynamically generated. This can lead to some dungeons or events not being in your game.

If you have your eye on a particular trait that you can’t find in your game, you could join other players in their worlds and hope that they have the locations or events in their sessions.

Otherwise, you should wait for the next content update that will add the adventure mode to the game.

WoW Classic: You can transfer away from the fullest German server for free

Due to overcrowded servers in WoW Classic, Blizzard has now announced that some of them will receive a free character transfer. However, the selection in Germany is quite limited. Fans express joy, but also criticism.

Which servers are allowed to transfer? In a post in the official WoW Classic forums, community manager Toschayju explained that free character transfers from the Lucifron server to one of the new servers, Transcendence, will soon be available.

Both are PvP servers. Lucifron is one of the first two realms planned for WoW Classic in Germany, before two more were opened at launch and another four after launch. Lucifron is also plagued by the largest queues.

How can I transfer? In a previous post, Toschayju explained how to carry out a transfer. The respective option should appear in the character selection screen or in the queue. However, there are some prerequisites for the transfer:

  • You must not be a guild master.
  • Your mailbox must not contain any unread messages.
  • You must have no ongoing auctions in the auction house.

If you spend a lot of time in the auction house, it’s more difficult to transfer.

If none of this applies to you, you can transfer from Lucifron to Transcendence. When exactly the transfer will be opened is yet to be announced.

Joy and Criticism from the Fans

This pleases the players: The initial reactions to Toschayju’s post are positive. It is praised that something is being done to address the waiting times. User Finkregh responds with a simple:

Finally something is happening.

Players are happy that something is being done to reduce waiting times. The choice of server is also seen as good, as Everlook, for example, is also full, but the queue is manageable. However, there are also many points of criticism.

This is what players criticize: With the free transfers, many players see several problems looming.

  • Some players wish they could choose servers to play with friends – for example, through paid transfers.
  • Concerns are raised about whether this will really ease the queues, especially since most German servers are quite “full”.
  • Other servers with similarly high waiting times of over an hour are not taken into account.
WoW Classic Waiting Time
Such long queues are no longer present right now, but they are still long.

User Nyel shares his concerns in detail:

This is exactly what should not have happened.

Transcendence is close to becoming “Full” in the evening. Lucifron has a queue of 6000-8000 players. Even if only 2000 players transfer, this transfer will turn Transcendence into a second Venoxis.

How can one act so thoughtlessly?

Nyel even created a topic about it, and Toschayju acknowledges the concerns, intending to pass them on to the developers.

Other players would prefer to see the opening of a new server for relief. However, this or other transfers are not yet planned. Additional servers for the Europe region were opened shortly after launch:

Pokémon GO shows all bosses and times for raid hours in September

All dates for the Legendary Raid Hours for September in Pokémon GO are now set. You will fight against Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Mewtwo, and Deoxys. We will show you all the information.

When will the next Raid Hours take place? The Pokémon GO developers from Niantic unexpectedly announced the next dates for the legendary Raid Hours in September. These will take place every Wednesday evening.

The times are also already clear. Every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM these events will occur.

Which monsters can you fight? During the legendary Raid Hours, you will first fight against Pokémon from the trio of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. The following week against Deoxys, then against Mewtwo, and in week four against an unknown opponent.

All dates for Raid Hours in September 2019:
– September 4, 2019 against Raikou, Entei, Suicune
– September 11, 2019 against Deoxys
– September 18, 2019 against Mewtwo
– September 25, 2019 against unknown opponent

You can find all the information about the Raid Hour today, on September 4, here

What do these Raid Hours bring?

These are the Raid changes: During a Raid Hour event, battles of level 5 will take place more frequently at the gyms. These are legendary boss battles. So, during this time you will have an increased chance to catch the respective rare monsters.

The bosses Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are currently appearing as part of the Johto Journey in the gyms of Pokémon GO.

Deoxys will have its last appearance in EX Raids in September. Currently, the initiative form can be caught there. During the Raid Hour, it will appear in all its forms and be catchable.

Mewtwo’s comeback gives you another chance to add this strong Psychic attacker to your collections.

And what about the Raids on September 25? Niantic has not yet revealed which boss you will fight on the last Wednesday of this month. Perhaps there will be an opponent from Generation 5? The first monsters of Generation 5 will be released in Pokémon GO on September 16. So this could fit with the release, but it is purely speculation from some players.

This is what players are saying about the announcement: Players are happy about the advance announcement so that they can plan for these Raids. However, many wish that Niantic would vary the days of the week. This way, potentially more trainers could participate.
