In a 12-hour stream, this streamer raised over €5,000 for charity on Twitch.TV. He tearfully tells his mother about this milestone.
What kind of stream was it? The 14-year-old streamer “averageharry” started a charity stream on August 19. The broadcast lasted 12 hours straight. He played games like Minecraft, Fortnite and mini golf while raising donations for charity.
His viewers were generous during the stream and donated a lot of money. When he shows his mother the current total shortly before the end of the stream, he has already collected £4,288.92. At the current exchange rate, that’s about €4,700.
So emotional shows the streamer: A clip is going viral in the gaming community that shows the streamer in tears. He proudly tells his mother in the video how much money he has raised. “Four thousand, two hundred and eighty,” he says, hugging his mother.
“Mom, there are still 5 minutes. I have collected 4,300,” he says, as tears of joy roll down his face.
We will embed the clip in question here.

What is special about it? His donation goal in the stream was £5,000, but the streamer thought he could never reach it. As Dexerto reports, averageharry explained that the £5,000 “wasn’t really a goal”.
“I just put this down to see how much money…” comments the streamer, as he is interrupted by a £1,000 donation. He was visibly touched by this large donation and struggled to find the right words.

Did he reach the donation goal? Towards the end of the stream, the streamer said it wasn’t bad if the goal wasn’t reached. He was then interrupted again by a donation. This helped to achieve the goal.

“I raised £5,000,” he says, raising his hands above his head. By the end of the stream, it was about £5,200, which is approximately €5,680 that the streamer raised. An impressive sum.
Charity streams are popular in the gaming community. This streamer received $75,000 at once!
In GTA Online the time trial Drainage Canal is active. The race is short and easy to win. Grab the 100,000 GTA dollars as a reward quickly now.
How to win the money? You can find the start of the current time trial on the open map of GTA Online. You do not need to start a race mode with other players, but drive alone from start to finish. Look for the purple stopwatch on the map; that’s the start.
The time for the race is tight. If you make it to the finish on time, you will receive 101,000 GTA dollars.
Which race is active? Currently, you will find the race “Drainage Canal”. You have 38.5 seconds to reach the finish line.
How to win “Drainage Canal” in GTA Online
The course of the track: This track is one of the easier time trials. After the start, you simply follow the canal. You don’t need to take any crazy shortcuts.
This is how the ride goes: After the start, you follow the track on the left side of the canal upwards. Try to steer as lightly as possible to lose little time.
Just before the finish line, there is a jump that you should steer in such a way that you do not fly too far to the right but stay on the path.
Braking is not recommended at any point, as time is really tight.
Video guide: To give you an overview of the route and the small jump just before the finish line, we are embedding a video from GTA-Series for you here.

Can you repeat the race? Yes, you can race it as many times as you want. The 101,000 GTA dollars can only be obtained once per active time trial week.
Which vehicle should you take? Motorcycles are particularly suitable for the track. If you want, you can also use a car with rocket propulsion, like the Vigilante, to reach the finish in time.
In Destiny 2 there are fresh updates about Shadowkeep. A new endgame activity has been revealed, and the new Moon map has been unveiled.
Here’s where the info comes from: On yesterday’s Monday, the opening of the gamescom 2019 took place, during which several livestreams were held. Bungie was well represented:
And in an Xbox stream, the developers talked about finishing moves, while surprisingly much footage of Shadowkeep was shown in the background – including a new endgame activity.
This appearance at Inside-Xbox is embedded here:

This can be seen in the video: Initially, Bungie’s Game Director Ben Wommack and Community Manager DeeJ introduce the finishing moves. These are new Guardian abilities that allow you to smash enemies once they have little health left. Each Guardian class has its own finishing moves.
In addition, a few artifact perks can be seen. The artifact provides seasonal, unlockable benefits under the Armor 2.0 system, such as these:
Bonus damage for all Arc melee attacks and bonus super energy on “finisher final blows”.
Overshield and reduced cooldown when activating Arc class abilities
And particularly interesting: A finishing move grants heavy ammunition to all team members, but consumes half of the super energy.
This is the new endgame activity: On the Moon map, there are several red symbols marking a fresh endgame activity in Shadowkeep. This is called “Nightmare Hunt: Servitude”:
It states that you must defeat the nightmare of Zydron, the Gate Lord, in one of these 3 Nightmare Hunts.
What we know about the “Nightmare Hunt”:
It is a cooperative activity
A fireteam of 1-3 players can play it
It rewards powerful gear (at level 1). Presumably, powerful gear will feature levels in the future.
The activity has various difficulty levels.
In Nightmare Hunt, you can select one of three “modes” that determine the difficulty:
Adept – Power level 860 is recommended
Hero – Power level 920 is recommended
Legend – Power level 950 is recommended
These tiers feature different modifiers. Additionally, for Adept and Hero, matchmaking is on, while for Legend, you must form a fireteam yourself.
Thus, Nightmare Hunt is expected to be an endgame activity that will present a challenge for all Guardians.
Regarding the nightmares you can hunt therein, it is known that Shadowkeep brings back many enemies from Destiny 1 in nightmare forms, such as Skolas, Omnigul, or Crota. Some nightmares can be seen in this gameplay trailer.
This is likely the new Moon map from: In the video above, snippets of the new Moon map are continuously visible. A user on reddit has already taken the effort to piece together the snippets and thus complete the map. With this result:
For comparison – this was the map of the Moon in Destiny 1:
New Strike: In addition, the name of a new strike on the Moon has been shown: The Scarlet Keep.
Soon World of Warcraft Classic will be launched. Those who have a lot of time or have already made arrangements can play the game “for free.”
In just under a week, it will be time, then World of Warcraft Classic will start and fulfill the fans’ long-standing dream of an Azeroth as it was nearly 15 years ago. However, some returning players or newcomers might not know how the payment for WoW Classic works or that they can pay for their subscription through the “normal” WoW.
No extra costs for WoW Classic, but you need an active subscription
What does WoW Classic cost? To be able to play World of Warcraft Classic, players do not need to purchase an additional game.
World of Warcraft, as the base game with many expansions, has long been free, you only pay the subscription each month – so 11 to 13 Euros, depending on the offer.
Buy WoW tokens and thus the subscription for gold
How can you play WoW Classic for free? You need an active subscription. However, you do not necessarily have to pay for it with money.
For a while now, there has been the principle of the “WoW Token” in World of Warcraft. Players can buy a WoW Token for real money and then sell it for gold in the game. Other players pay this gold and receive a WoW Token, which they can then exchange for 30 days of gameplay time.
So, if you have a lot of gold saved up, you can use this to save your account’s subscription fees. Since there is the same subscription for both the current WoW and WoW Classic, it is possible to finance the gameplay time in Classic through the WoW Token.
If you still have gold, you can use it: It will likely be particularly worthwhile for players who still have large amounts of gold from the time of Warlords of Draenor or Legion. Here, it was easy to acquire large amounts of gold that can now come into play.
This also works if you currently have no active gameplay time left. When you log into WoW and have enough gold, you will be asked if the gold from your account should be used to pay for gameplay time. This way, inactive players can also check if they have enough gold!
What does a WoW Token cost? A single token currently costs between 180,000 and 200,000 gold pieces and is subject to daily fluctuations. The amount of gold is likely too much to be earned “on the side” by most players. Only those who are really active in the retail version of WoW are likely to earn such a sum each month.
Particularly successful players, however, also sell services, such as a particularly difficult dungeon run at a high “Mythic+” level. This way, one can earn a decent amount of gold.
Is it worth it? The answer to that is a clear “It depends.” If someone plans to play both versions of WoW in parallel, paying through the WoW Token could be quite successful. However, those who have little time or are not good at speculating with items from the auction house are likely to invest much more time and energy into the endeavor than it is ultimately worth. Then the 11 to 13 Euros per month might actually be the better investment.
How will you pay for your WoW subscription for Classic? Traditionally? Or do you spend your gold from the retail version of back then?
The Epic Games Store secures another exclusive title that will be interesting for card game fans. However, it’s not really exclusive.
In
light of the upcoming Gamescom 2019, publishers and game developers are providing new information about their titles. One of them concerns Magic: The Gathering Arena (MTGA), one of the most eagerly anticipated card games of the near future. It has now been revealed that MTGA will be released on the Epic Games Store.
What restrictions are there? MTGA is not really exclusive, as the deal has a clear limitation. The Epic Games Store will only be the only “third-party” platform for the card game on PC. Those who do not wish to use the Epic Games Store can still download the game from the official Magic site and won’t need to go through the launcher.
The
deal simply means that MTGA will not be released on other PC platforms like Steam.
When will MTGA be released? However, no exact release date for the card game has been announced yet. The only timeframe given is “this winter,” which suggests early 2020. This date is likely also aimed at the end of the beta, as MTGA is currently still in open beta.
A competitor for Hearthstone? In the scene of digital collectible card games, MTGA is considered the “next big thing” that could dethrone the competitor Hearthstone from Blizzard. Many Hearthstone players find the stagnation of the game terrible and are hoping to find a solid alternative soon. Hopes are pinned on MTGA.
Will you play Magic: The Gathering Arena via the “Epic Games” launcher? Or is that a reason for you to avoid the game?
In FIFA 20, a fresh trailer was shown at gamescom 2019. It features the story mode of Volta and cool skills.
This is the gamescom trailer: As part of the Opening Night of gamescom 2019, developers of FIFA 20 appeared to briefly talk about the biggest innovation: The Volta mode.
Afterward, a short trailer was presented, teasing the story mode in Volta.
We are embedding the trailer here – it is a recording uploaded by GameSpot:

This is what you see in the video: The footage is an excerpt from a cutscene that you will see again in the Volta story mode of FIFA 20.
Two characters take a seat on a stage to watch a ball artist casually juggling with a ball, acrobatically swirling it around, revealing some pretty cool skills.
Meanwhile, one of the two spectators says: “Hey, how cool is that!” However, in the middle of the cutscene, the video ends and the Volta logo appears.
Cool, but more was expected: While the official gameplay trailer for Volta received overwhelmingly more upvotes than downvotes, this gamescom trailer has been accumulating thumbs down. Currently, nearly a third of the votes are negative ratings.
In the comments, many fans write that this looks pretty “nice”, the skills are intense, and the mode comes across as interesting, but they expected more for a gamescom presentation.
What is the story about? Your avatar has a dream: He wants to be invited to the VOLTA WORLD Championships in Buenos Aires and win the “ultimate small-field prize” there. For this, he must build a team that will help him achieve this.
You will not be a professional footballer like Alex Hunter in The Journey, but a street football player.
Today, on Tuesday, August 20th, you will be prompted to download a new patch for Fortnite on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). What will be included and what about maintenance? We have the information!
What is happening today in Fortnite? Since the beginning of Season 10, it seems that Epic has reserved Tuesdays for new patches and maintenance work. Last week, the new version 10.10 was supposed to go live on Tuesday, but it had to be postponed due to issues. Instead, there were many discussions about a dog.
Today, you will be prompted to download a patch that will not change the game version 10.10, but is supposed to offer new content. The twist: You won’t have to endure any maintenance.
Content Patch 10.10 in Fortnite – When and How Big?
When does the new patch come? It is expected to be around 2:00 PM German time, possibly a few minutes earlier or later. Then you will be prompted to download a patch. There will be no downtime, so you can immediately jump back in after the download.
How large will the update be? If Epic is not planning any massive features that are still unknown, the download size will be similar to previous content updates and not larger than a few hundred megabytes.
What’s included in the Fortnite Update 10.10?
Here’s what’s new in the Battle Royale mode: According to the in-game message, players can look forward to a new item, the Rifts. The functionality is already clear. Once activated, items will be thrown from the Rift at your enemy.
These items will likely cause damage to your opponents depending on their size. Which objects can come from these Rifts is still unknown, but leaks are already predicting dinosaurs, police cars, and other crazy stuff:
In addition, discussions about the large battle mechs are ongoing. After all, you can also decimate your own enemies blindly with a mech. Will Epic finally make adjustments here? Perhaps the new item could serve as a counter for the mech. It is certain that the usual small bug fixes will come to stabilize the player experience.
What’s included in the update for Save the World mode: According to the developer roadmap for August, only a few new features will be added today:
The rocket launcher Sixshooter
Cloaked Star will be driving the van this week
What do you think of the update and the new Rifts? What tactics might there be for it?

We want to celebrate gamescom together with you, all our brands, our friends, partners, and companions. Therefore, we are teaming up with GameStar.de and GamePro.de to create the ultimate show for gamers.

The countdown to the MMORPG ArcheAge has expired and the cat is out of the bag. ArcheAge Unchained is the new product and it does not require a subscription.
What is ArcheAge Unchained? The new MMORPG ArcheAge Unchained is basically the same game, but with adjusted rules. It will be Buy2Play and must thus be purchased only once.
The version will not have a subscription system, thus removing an important aspect of the current Pay2Win problem of the MMO.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylTvtLdoK8w
In return, there should be a season pass that will include special rewards. However, there should be no gameplay advantages.
How do the two ArcheAge versions differ? According to the official FAQ about Unchained, both games are scheduled to receive the same major content update in autumn.
There seem to be no differences in terms of pure content. However, there are very clear adjustments in areas such as housing or work points.
This way, all players will receive the same number of work points and all are capped at 5,000. Housing is also available to all players. This is different so far.
Subscribers of the first game receive double the number of work points, have an increased cap, and exclusive access to their own residences.
Why was the actual game not changed? The developers originally wanted to make the changes to the monetization in ArcheAge itself.
There were some adjustments already with the new patch Haram, but a complete overhaul was not possible. Thus, they are now planning with two versions of the game that differ only in the business model.
When will ArcheAge Unchained be released and how much will it cost? The developers have not yet announced a specific release date. They are also keeping quiet about the costs in the FAQ.
However, there is a chance that we will learn more during the gamescom.
What do you think of the idea of a new ArcheAge without Pay2Win? Will you take another look at the MMORPG? In addition to ArcheAge, there are also other online games at gamescom 2019:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is starting an open alpha this week. However, only players on PlayStation 4 can participate.
What was announced? During the Opening Night of gamescom 2019, Infinity Ward represented as the developer of Modern Warfare on stage. In the live show, they talked about the multiplayer title that is scheduled to be released in October this year.
To allow many players to enjoy the new shooter soon, an open alpha phase will start in a few days.
How will the open alpha of Modern Warfare go? Only players who are playing on the PlayStation 4 can participate in this test. You cannot participate on Xbox One or PC.
You will play the 2v2 mode. Here, you will fight together with a teammate against another team of 2 players. You will have various weapons available, like shotguns or sniper rifles. Additionally, explosive firepower will be provided by Molotov cocktails or mines.
On the 5 maps Stack, King, Speedball, Docks, and Pine, you can prove your skills in 2v2. The locations were only briefly introduced in the trailer. We have collected some screenshots for you.
The Speedball map looks particularly interesting, resembling a small paintball arena.
When does the open alpha start? The open alpha will only be available for one weekend. It starts on Friday, August 23.
Good news is also available for PC players of Modern Warfare. Nvidia has now shown how stunning the game looks with ray tracing technology that is available on PC:
In Destiny 2 a new gamescom trailer has been released. This showcases the new threat that awakens in Season 8: The Vex – the Undying.
This is the new trailer: At the beginning of gamescom 2019, Bungie delivers juicy trailers for Shadowkeep. After a gameplay trailer has already been released, a cinematic story trailer has now been revealed.
The story trailer teases Season 8, which is called “Season of the Undying.” In German, it is translated as “Saison der Unvergänglichen.”
We embed the trailer here in German:

Here’s what you can see in the story trailer for the Season of the Undying
You can see this in the trailer: At the beginning, we see massive Vex installations. Then a little Vex milk swirls around, which disappears into a Vex body. This likely shows how the Vex are formed. Because after the milk enters the body, the eye begins to glow red.
According to the narrator’s voice, the Vex will do everything to protect the Black Garden.
When does the Season of the Undying start? According to the trailer, Season 8 begins on October 1 with Shadowkeep, but according to the video description, the seasonal content starts on October 5, 2019 – when exactly the Undying break upon us remains to be seen.
We just searched through our old articles and found the article about the scrapped Vex Void DLC, which featured these scenes. A leaked Destiny roadmap showed that after “The Taken King,” a Vex DLC called Vex Void was planned.
Now it shows once again that Bungie throws nothing away.
The trailer is still very well received. The graphics are said to be outstanding, it is read in the comments, and that Bungie is currently surpassing itself since they parted ways with Activision.
A new trailer for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is here! In it, you will see an epic battle with a Velkhana.
What’s new: At gamescom 2019, a new trailer for Monster Hunter World was also shown. The release of the Iceborne DLC is approaching, and the developers are providing another insight.
This time it’s about the ice dragon Velkhana, which is also featured on the cover of the DLC. Here you can see it in action and quickly realize that this monster is not easy to take down.
Watch the Velkhana monster in action here
This is the trailer: The clip lasts just under 2 minutes and focuses exclusively on the Velkhana:

What is shown? The ice dragon does not hesitate to attack your base, and you can directly attack the Velkhana from the base. Cannons will help you, but you can also fight using classic swords.
It also shows that the Velkhana seems particularly strong, as it easily freezes other monsters, and during the fight against the characters, it can hardly be brought down.
Alongside various cutscenes, numerous gameplay impressions can also be seen. So, you can get an early glimpse into the battle against the ice dragon.
What can the Velkhana do? Some abilities of the Velkhana can already be recognized. For instance, it can spit ice and freeze everything around it.
But it can also erect ice walls that are meant to prevent direct attacks on it. It will be difficult to approach the Velkhana.
When is Iceborne released? The DLC for Monster Hunter World will be released on September 6 for PS4 and Xbox One. PC players will have to wait. A release is targeted for winter 2019.
Recently, the developers showed some insights into the armor sets of Iceborne:

What does the trailer show? The video starts casually with a song by Little Richard “Long Tall Sally” while soldiers are flying in a helicopter. But shortly thereafter, the mood of the video changes. The soldiers encounter other units in a jungle and eliminate them.
One sees corpses hanging from branches. After the encounter with other people, the soldiers finally meet the Predator, who is lurking in the trees.
In the end, he attacks and jumps down from the trees onto the soldiers.
What is Predator: Hunting Grounds? The game comes from the creators of Friday The 13th and is based on the film with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is played 4 against 1. Four soldiers against one Predator – You choose the role. The soldiers are part of an elite team and fight with state-of-the-art conventional weapons. This includes shotguns, SMGs, or sniper rifles.
One player takes on the role of the Predator and faces off against the soldiers. He can make himself invisible and has powerful alien technology.
In May 2019, the game was already presented by the creators at IllFonic with a first trailer.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is set to be released next year, in 2020. So far, it is assumed that it will be released for the PS4.
During gamescom 2019, we expect many highlights. Among them:
That Borderlands 3 is crazy is no secret, but the new trailer takes the craziness to another level. Running weapons, creepy pets, and colorful modifications are all featured here.
What kind of trailer is this? It is supposed to be a guide for Borderlands. It discusses the characters again, but also shows details about vehicles and weapons.
The trailer provides an overview of all the important details in the game, but mostly shows how crazy the new installment from Gearbox is at every turn.
Check out the crazy trailer for Borderlands 3

What is said about the characters? The four playable characters are introduced again individually, and their special abilities are showcased. Here is an overview:
Moze is the Gunner. She has numerous weapons to choose from and can almost shoot anything she finds. Her highlight is a giant mech that causes even more destruction.
Zane Flynt is the loner of the group. He can create holograms of himself to distract enemies. Additionally, he has a shooting drone and can deploy a shield that protects himself and his teammates.
Amara can unleash numerous impulses that can knock out enemies one after another. She can also immobilize enemies on the spot and force them to surrender.
FL4K is the character for all animal lovers, even if his pets are not entirely normal. His pets relentlessly attack enemies and can even shoot. Furthermore, FL4K can also become invisible and surprise enemies.
Generally, you can strengthen your character with a skill tree and learn new abilities.
Here’s how you can modify your character: Just like the characters appear in the trailers, you don’t have to run around. You can put crazy heads on them or generally change their style. The modifications seem nearly endless.
These weapons were showcased: A highlight of Borderlands 3 are the crazy weapons, which seem particularly extravagant this time.
There are guns that can freeze or burn enemies. Additionally, there are weapons that can shoot around corners and directly target objectives.
Especially eye-catching are the weapons with legs. A small army of weapons can run around by themselves and take down all enemies.
This army of weapons can accompany you in battle.
These are some enemies: The trailer also introduces some enemies you’ll encounter. They include numerous animal-like creatures reminiscent of dinosaurs, as well as huge war machines that will challenge you.
You can have your own vehicles: Borderlands 3 will also offer you many modifications for vehicles. You can equip them with all sorts of weapons and change them as you like.
There is also information about the storage space for Borderlands 3. Do you have enough?
During the Google Connect for Stadia, a new official gameplay trailer for Watch Dogs Legion (PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, PC) was shown. The highlight from the clip of Ubisoft’s new game was some pretty broken heroes that you can recruit into your team when the release comes in March 2020.
This is the special gag of Watch Dogs Legion: In the new action game from Ubisoft, you will be able to recruit every resident of the city of London. This can be up to 9 million people, as Ubisoft states.
In trailers, Ubisoft tries to make it appear as if all characters are unique, a bit eccentric, and offer something special. They are supposed to affect the actual game.
In the new gameplay trailer that Google showed at Stadia Connect, 3 of these people were introduced that you can play as, and they have some quirky abilities or combinations of pros and cons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je1HzoAEU1E
Heroes with Quirky Abilities and Personalities
These were the heroes in the video:
Victor Lysenko is a Russian with apparently a mild alcohol problem. The advantage: when he is drunk, he has 50% resistance to damage. Luck is indeed with the drunk. Cheers.
A bit clichéd, but oh well.
Sue Taylor is a lawyer. If you have her on your team, there is a 25% chance that someone will be released from prison. She seems to grant a passive bonus.
Heroes go to prison for example if they prefer to give up rather than die. There is no shame in that, says the cheerful voice in the trailer.
It seems to be a passive bonus that gets you out.
Alan Murphy looks like a great hero. However, he hasn’t visited a doctor in 25 years. The spry retiree deals 100% more damage with rifles but can also drop dead at any time. And then he is gone – Watch Dogs Legion features permadeath.
In the trailer, it is noticeable that Murphy shoots like a madman but moves rather slowly. This could be another disadvantage when recruiting older residents of London – as already noted in the grandma’s gameplay.
What else can be seen in the trailer? There are still a variety of passersby with interesting abilities that you could recruit into your team or not.
There are some very eccentric characters to be seen, from street fighters to punks to ninjas. In addition, Ubisoft promises that you can also customize your team.
When is the release? Watch Dogs Legion is set to be released on March 6, 2020, for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and also Google Stadia.
Good news for all MMORPG fans. Elder Scrolls Online can be played with Google Stadia. This allows you to play the online role-playing game even on older PCs, tablets, TVs, or smartphones, whenever you like.
What has been announced? During the Stadia Connect on August 19, several new games were presented in the livestream that can be played via Google’s cloud service Stadia.
Among them is the popular MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online. For you, this means that you do not need a powerful computer or a current console to play the game. It works smoothly via Stadia, as the powerful servers are hosted by Google and take on a large part of the computational work.
With this announcement, Google is taking an important step, as it has been shown that ESO is among the top MMORPGs searched for on Google in Germany. The interest in the title is therefore great. In addition to PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox One, ESO will also be available on Google Stadia.
It is unclear when ESO will be released for Stadia. No release date has been provided so far.
Why MacOS users should be excited: This release could be particularly interesting for Mac users. Often, Mac devices are equipped with weak graphics cards that prevent players from playing certain titles. With Stadia, new options are opening up.
The trailer: In the following video, you can see the official trailer that was also shown during the Stadia stream.

What is currently happening in ESO? Since its release, many expansions for ESO have already been released, filling the MMORPG with a lot of content.
Again, there are rumors surrounding a PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2. Allegedly, it’s once again about Stadia, Google’s gaming platform. The rumors predict that a release for Google Stadia and possibly for PC will be announced as early as this coming Monday, just before the opening of gamescom 2019.
What is this rumor about? Players are eagerly waiting for the cowboy adventure Red Dead Redemption 2 to be announced for PC. The title was already released for consoles PS4 and Xbox One on October 26, 2018. Since then, there have been rumors that Rockstar is also planning a PC port – but none has been announced.
According to a rumor, Rockstar might soon spill the beans. Allegedly, a PC release could be announced tomorrow, on August 19, during the Stadia Connect.
During the presentation, Google will present further details about their gaming platform Stadia on Monday at 7 PM – this happens just before the opening of gamescom 2019.
Where does this rumor come from?A Reddit user has connected existing hints in a post. The user has drawn his conclusions with the help of various articles from US media, as well as with information from alleged insiders.
However, there are also points that seem less conclusive, such as that Red Dead Redemption 2 is supposed to come exclusively to the Epic Games Store.
What speaks in favor? Even before the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on consoles, there were always rumors about a PC release:
Recently, there were also possible hints regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 with Google’s Stadia. At the Game Developers Conference last March, various images with icons indicating upcoming games were shown during a presentation. One of these images featured elements that can clearly be associated with cowboys.

Recently, Rockstar’s logo was seen in a livestream on Google’s Stadia. In the presentation, 28 games were presented that will be available at the launch of the service. The logos of Rockstar, Capcom, and Electronic Arts were also visible. They were marked with an asterisk, indicating that these publishers could release their content at their discretion.
Release could be late 2019
What about the PC? The Reddit user speculates that if RockStar is already porting “Red Dead Redemption 2” with high-resolution textures for Stadia, it would only make sense to announce a PC release as well.
According to an insider, Rockstar is supposedly planning this for the release window in Fall 2019, i.e., between October and December.
What else will happen at gamescom 2019, you can follow in our program:

The developers at Ubisoft have come up with a few exciting improvements to make Ghost War more interesting:
A bit of Battle Royale in Ghost War
Ubisoft writes on the official website that they learned a lot from Wildlands. Therefore, the Elimination mode now uses a battle royale feature, where the combat zone of the map continuously shrinks.
The shrinking zone appears towards the end of the game to entice the last players into battle. Players outside the zone will take damage, and the zone will close in on a random location, as in battle royale games.
Additionally, the developers adjusted the cooldown times in PvP.
Players can also drop items on the map for others to pick up. This will add more excitement and improve the quality of the matches. The following features are also included:
There will be dedicated servers
Your experience points, ranks in specializations, and equipment level as well as gear, weapons, and other items will be shared between PvP and PvE. There are very few exclusive exceptions.
In PvP, weapons have no gear level – The weapons have a special damage calculation for PvP
There will be a reporting system to report toxic players or cheaters
In PvP milestones, players can collect special PvP rewards
In the first year, Ghost War will receive more classes, maps, and modes

This is what you see in the trailer: Eris Morn speaks to you. She says that something terrible has awakened. It is now up to you to stop the nightmares. In the end, Eris says: “The Guardians are at war again.” In the original English, she says that a great battle lies ahead.
The video offers plenty of action. Among other things, Finishing Moves can be seen in action. This is a new Guardian ability that allows you to take down enemies when they have low health. Each class has a different Finishing Move.
Particularly exciting in this trailer are the enemies that you get to see. Dark, sinister foes hover over the lunar surface:
In addition, you can recognize “old enemies” that you have already battled in Destiny 1, such as Skolas, Omnigul, or Crota. Even Ghaul, the villain from the Destiny 2 launch, seems to be returning as a “nightmare.”
