In the MMORPG Lost Ark , the hope of fans has been awakened. After the Microsoft press conference at E3 2019, players are telling themselves that soon the news might come that the MMORPG is making its way to Europe and North America. Because they are eagerly waiting for the European release. However, the chances seem to be slim.
This is the situation: The MMORPG Lost Ark has been a dream for many Western players for years, who long for an action MMORPG that bridges the gap between “classic MMORPG” and hack’n slash like Diablo 3 .
Lost Ark is indeed intended for a port to Europe and North America, aiming for the global market, but publisher Smilegate has not yet elaborated on how exactly they plan to bring the game to Europe and North America.
The Koreans do not have the right contacts in the West: An office in Berlin was opened but was closed shortly afterward.
This happened yesterday: At Microsoft’s press conference, “Phantasy Star Online 2” was unexpectedly announced as a port to North America. It had only been playable in Japan until now and fans had long given up hope for a port.
Then the Smilegate logo flashed. For a few seconds, fans hoped: “Are they really bringing two Asia MMORPGs to us?”
How likely is that really? The hope of the fans is understandable, but still very unlikely.
One can probably assume that Microsoft’s deal with Smilegate only pertains to Crossfire X.
If Microsoft really brought Lost Ark here in the West, it would be a huge deal. But at the moment, publishers like my.com, who are also managing the Russian version, seem to be more likely. However, this is protected from us Europeans by an IP block.
A visitor to E3 2019 must be pretty happy. Because he shouted during a presentation, he is getting the Collector’s Edition of Cyberpunk 2077 as a gift.
Last night, Microsoft held its press conference at E3, where Cyberpunk 2077 was also revealed. In addition to a new trailer and the announcement of the release date in April 2020, there was also the appearance of a very special star. Keanu Reeves took the stage and stated, that he will be a part of Cyberpunk 2077. During this, a fan shouted into the presentation and made Reeves laugh – for this, the fan now receives a reward.

What happened? Keanu Reeves talked a bit about Cyberpunk 2077 and how he got involved in the project. He then explained what impression he had gained from the game and said:
Let me tell you: The feeling when you are there, when you walk through the streets of the future – it will be truly breathtaking.
A fan named Peter Sark took advantage of the moment and shouted loudly from the crowd to Reeves: “You are breathtaking!” This immediately caused laughter from Reeves and the audience and a direct response: “YOU are breathtaking!”
Apparently, the incident threw Keanu Reeves off a bit, as he continued the presentation with “Hey, I have to finish this!” and then hesitated a bit before presenting the release date.
Collector’s Edition as a reward for shouting out: For his “effort”, the loud gentleman from the audience is indeed being rewarded. On Twitter, he proudly stated that he was called “breathtaking” by Keanu Reeves. In response from the Twitter channel of Cyberpunk 2077, there was also this reply:
And it also earned you a free Collector’s Edition of Cyberpunk 2077!

Community reacts mixed: Most aspiring players and fans are excited about the incident, as it was very entertaining and enriched the presentation. However, there are also a few cynical voices who think that you just have to be rude during a presentation to receive special treatment. This would not set a good example and should not be rewarded.
Battle Royale mode converts hardcore Fallout 4 fan
This is what the spammer says: He says he cannot disclose all details, but he says that Fallout 76 has the potential to really make an impact as a game and in the end could appeal to everyone.
Most of the 8 people who came to Dallas are “old-school Fallout” fans – he himself is a mod author for Fallout 4. Actually, the old-school players were not interested in battle royale, but with the mode, they have really warmed up.
He himself really loves the mode.
After the action, he holds Bethesda in high regard for taking such a risk to let 8 players look behind the scenes and seeking exchange.
This is what it’s about: What Fallout 76 has done here has happened more frequently lately. A game that was considered completely closed during development is now opening up after a difficult phase and inviting hardcore fans to talk about the game:
In 2014, after the terrible start of The Elder Scrolls Online, Zenimax organized a “Guild Summit” to discuss how to radically change the MMORPG with the biggest fans
The Division 1 formed a “task force” when the game hit rock bottom
Apparently, Bethesda is also relying on this approach and has spent quite a bit to do so. It will be interesting to see how the new update Nuclear Winter is received.
After the action, he holds Bethesda in high regard for taking such a risk to let 8 players look behind the scenes and seeking exchange.

The “Nuclear Winter” update was unveiled yesterday at E3 2019, which is why the player can now talk about it – the NDA has been loosened.

Apparently, Bethesda is also relying on this approach and has spent quite a bit to do so. It will be interesting to see how the new update Nuclear Winter is received.
As it has now become known, Bethesda invited 8 players from the community to gather feedback for Fallout 76 and test the new battle royale mode. One of them says he was one of the harshest critics of the gameand spammed Bethesda with complaints until they had to react.
Where does the story come from? On reddit the user Aten_Ra shares what he has experienced with Fallout 76 over the last four to five months.
It is an extraordinary story that began with a lot of frustration and ends on a reconciliatory note.
A moderator of the subreddit says: The story is “verified” and therefore credible.
At the beginning, players had plenty of reasons to complain about Fallout 76.
Player starts spam wave to shake Fallout 76 awake
How did Bethesda become aware of the critic? The player says he submitted numerous bug reports for Fallout 76 months ago but felt that nobody was listening to him.
Then, at the end of January, he raised the alarm, escalated on reddit, and accused Bethesda of not communicating with the community.
Then a community manager contacted him, but basically only issued the instruction: “Submit a ticket.”
The player then wanted to do that, but not just submit one ticket, but dozens of tickets. So, he initiated a spam wave. To really get under Bethesda’s skin, he submitted the tickets through customer service. He created a form to make it quick.
In this way, the pestering spirit submitted every bug he had experienced, as well as bugs from others.
Ultimately, this led to a strange situation: The player had a one-hour conversation with an employee of Bethesda, the head of customer support.
He was probably supposed to ask him to ease off on the spam at least for a few days. Ultimately, however, it turned into a constructive conversation, and things started to move:
Months later, he was asked if he would sign an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement
They asked him if he would be willing to come in person
In the end, Bethesda flew this hard critic to Dallas, to the headquarters
Task force of 8 players on site
This happened in Dallas: As the player says, Bethesda had contacted 10 people in the community, all of whom represented different perspectives. 8 of them flew to Dallas without knowing what Bethesda actually wanted from them. Some didn’t even come from the USA.
The meeting is described as constructive and open. The Fallout 76 developers were very interested in the players’ statements.
Players and developers formed mixed teams and raced through the mode, Aten_Ra reports.
Apparently, Bethesda is also relying on this approach and has spent quite a bit to do so. It will be interesting to see how the new update Nuclear Winter is received.
After the action, he holds Bethesda in high regard for taking such a risk to let 8 players look behind the scenes and seeking exchange.

The upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 aims to provide a continuous and cohesive experience across all its modes. It wants to be more than just a collection of different game formats, it was said at E3 2019.
On May 30, the publisher Activision along with the developer Infinity Ward officially unveiled the new Call of Duty for 2019 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The new installment of the series aims to do many things differently compared to its predecessors – especially regarding the interplay of the individual modes and the experience therein.
This is how the modes currently stand: Currently, for example, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the game essentially offers a collection of different modes. These are all largely independent of each other and merely united under the umbrella of Black Ops 4.
Among other things, there is the traditional multiplayer, which has little to do with the Battle Royale mode Blackout. The Zombies experience, on the other hand, has hardly any touchpoints with the two MP formats of Black Ops 4. The same applies to the various modes in almost all previous Call of Duty titles.
This is what is supposed to change with Modern Warfare 2019 in terms of modes: During the E3 2019, several developers from Treyarch joined the YouTube E3 show and shared a bit about the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
They emphasized that they want to change exactly this fragmented player experience with the new Modern Warfare 2019. They want to offer players more than just a mere collection of different modes – a single complete experience.
Thus, they want to provide players with a continuous and overarching experience that runs equally through all existing modes – whether multiplayer, co-op, or the single-player campaign. Fans should no longer play individual modes – they should play Modern Warfare. As one unit.
These are the changes using weapons and equipment as an example: Everything you do in Modern Warfare takes place in the same consistent world and is subject to the same rules. All weapons and the entire equipment palette are supposed to play the same way everywhere and function uniformly.
If you gain experience and achieve progress with a weapon in one mode, you should be able to apply that experience in all other modes. The progress and unlocks will also count everywhere – regardless of where you unlocked what.
If a player is not the best in multiplayer, for example, they can unlock their weapon and attachments in the campaign, but still use them in multiplayer. The weapon will be at the same level as in single-player and all other modes as well.
What we still know about the reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: To ensure you don’t miss anything about the upcoming Modern Warfare, we have summarized the most important information that is currently known.
What is the price of the Collector’s Edition? The cost of the CE was quite hefty, a proud 220€ the developers wanted for the premium version compared to the 60€ standard version. However, this apparently did not deter fans, as just a few hours after the sales began, the CE is already sold out at least on Amazon for PC and Xbox One. For the PS4, there are currently (12:45 PM) still copies available.
The contents of the Collector’s Edition – lots of goodies!
What is included in the Collector’s Edition? For the hefty price of 220€, the Collector’s Edition also offered a lot of physical content with which fans can now decorate their room or simply show off in front of their nerd friends. Included are:
A 25cm tall figure of V, the main character of the game
Collector’s steelbook
Hardcover artbook
Metal pin set
A metal keychain in the style of “Quadra Vtech”
A commented edition of the “Night City travel guide”
Embroidered patches
Sticker bomb set
Bonuses already in the Standard Version: But you don’t have to miss out on all the bonuses. The Standard Version of the game also has some additional perks. The following content is included in both the Standard and the Collector’s Edition:
World compendium in details about the setting and background story of the game
Postcards from Night City
Map of Night City
In addition,
there are a few digital bonuses that are also included in both versions
of the game:
Soundtrack for the game
Art booklet with a selection of artworks
“Cyberpunk 2020” source compilation
Desktop and mobile device wallpapers
Will there be more stock? Whether there will be further versions of the Collector’s Edition of Cyberpunk 2077 or if the developers will produce more due to the extremely high demand remains to be seen. In any case, there seemed to be many fans particularly hungry for Cyberpunk 2077 who jumped at the chance immediately.
One possibility could be the Store of CD Projekt Red – there the Collector’s Edition is still listed as “Coming Soon”. Those who keep their eyes open may have another chance.
Are you satisfied with the Standard Version of the game? Or do you hope that CD Projekt RED will be generous and release another round of CEs?
The qualification for the Fortnite World Cup is in full swing, and the pro Bizzle shows how easy it actually is to win there. He played without a weapon and still won some rounds.
This pro is about: Bizzle, an American pro from Ghost Gaming, showed this crazy feat.
Bizzle already qualified in the first week for the grand finale of the World Cup. Now he had time to mock the qualification a bit. He already pointed out beforehand that he finds Fortnite’s World Cup mode bad.
How Bizzle dominated the World Cup qualifiers
This is what Bizzle showed: The pro faced a pretty tough challenge. He reached the World Cup semifinals without using a single weapon.
We embed a video here where he won the round without a weapon. When the zone disappeared, he simply survived longer than his opponent.

How does Bizzle win without weapons? The pro played with grenades and traps. This way, he got some kills in his rounds. Otherwise, he built a lot and had a good supply of bandages and potions. In the end, he simply survived longer outside the zone.
This is so remarkable: Many well-known streamers fail to qualify. The best players in the world compete against each other there. All the more remarkable that Bizzle seems to easily achieve victories without a weapon.
The streamer Ninja fails to qualify for the World Cup
Why does Bizzle do that? The pro doesn’t think much of the World Cup mode in Fortnite. He has criticized several times that Epic has simply introduced massive changes and new weapons just before major tournaments.
Yesterday at E3 2019, Microsoft unexpectedly announced that they will bring Phantasy Star Online 2 to North America. This is a big deal, says our author Schuhmann. But somehow, one has to get used to it first.
That’s why it was the biggest surprise: Phantasy Star Online 2 was really off the radar for most people. The game was a topic here in the West back in 2012. It was shown at conventions but ultimately only released in Japan.
However, for most of us in Europe, the game was too far away to really engage with. Only those who were really keen installed an English patch and a VPN client and took on all the inconveniences to play it directly on Japanese servers.
Time and again, when the MMORPG drought here in the West was particularly severe, one could observe that people appeared in the relevant forums asking: “How can I play this together with you in Japan?”
But hardly anyone hoped for a port to the West anymore.
SEGA announced that they would also bring the MMORPG to the West, but ultimately broke contact after having remained silent for years anyway.
The fans finally gave up hope after 4, 5 years: If Sega hadn’t brought the game to the West after such a long time, why would they still do it? That would be completely pointless.
Therefore, the announcement came almost out of nowhere and is therefore even more surprising. Apparently, SEGA really only needed a (probably financial) push to take the risk and bring their game to the West.
Phantasy Star 1 – I played that about 30 years ago.
The RPG series of my childhood
Why is Phantasy Star something special? Many of today’s RPG players grew up with the “Phantasy Star” series – at least if they had a SEGA in their childhood (like me) and not a Nintendo (like almost all my friends back then).
I played the 1st Phantasy Star on the SEGA Master System almost 30 years ago. It was my first experience with RPG systems at all.
I still remember how I grinded sea fish by a lake for hours and ultimately stomped through the story with my party members, including a cat, severely over-leveled.
Parts 2 and 4 were masterpieces on the Sega Mega Drive – we’ll gloss over part 3.
I lost track of the series after that, but others continued to follow it on Sega Dreamcast and other platforms.
Also, the first Phantasy Star Online was a matter of the heart for many players, as you know.
What makes Phantasy Star Online 2 stand out? In recent years, one could only follow the game from afar, even though some made the effort to play the game in Japan:
It is probably a very “grindy” game – that’s why fans are now saying “For God’s sake, I have 7000 hours in Japan, don’t block the IPs if there’s now an NA version”
It has a unique art style – Phantasy Star has always been somewhere between science fiction and fantasy
It has quite revealing costumes
Phantasy Star Online repeatedly does insane crossovers with other franchises popular in Japan
and over the years it has received endless new content
What’s still a concern: Now Sega says the game will come in spring 2020 to PC and Xbox One – but initially only for North America. We will have to see what this means for us Europeans and what hurdles we will have to overcome to play it,
For now, it is definitely a very positive surprise.
Although I am curious whether the game can really establish itself here in the West after such a long time.
Since the announcement of the release date for Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2019, the game can already be pre-ordered on Steam. A few hours later, Cyberpunk was already sitting at number 1 in the bestseller list there.
When will Cyberpunk 2077 be released? Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on 16.04.2020. Fans and interested parties will therefore have to wait nearly a year until they can explore the new world of Cyberpunk 2077.
Can you already pre-order Cyberpunk 2077? Yes, if you have enough trust in the developer CD Projekt RED, you can pre-order Cyberpunk 2077 on the Steam platform since yesterday’s Microsoft press conference. Later, the game is also expected to be available on GOG and EGS.
Here’s how things are with Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam: The high demand for this title is shown by the pre-orders on Steam. As soon as the recently available pre-order option went live, players apparently took immediate advantage of it – and it seems quite a lot.
After the pre-order option for Cyberpunk 2077 went live yesterday, the upcoming title from CD Projekt RED quickly rose to number 1 in the global top sellers on Steam – mind you, in less than two hours after the pre-order option became available.

The trust in the game and the developers seems to be great among many fans.
The 4th generation in Pokémon GO has gained more and more additions and is now almost completely in the game. Only 8 Pokémon from this generation are still missing. We will introduce them to you.
Current status of the generation: Of the 107 Pokémon from this generation 99 are currently in the game. The big releases for this generation are therefore over.
What makes the missing Pokémon special? The majority of the missing Pokémon are legendary or mythical, but currently, there are also 2 non-legendary Pokémon missing.
1. Mime Jr.
What makes this Pokémon special? Mime Jr. is the baby Pokémon of Mr. Mime, and that’s exactly where the problem lies. What do you do with a baby of a regional Pokémon? If released worldwide, Mr. Mime would lose its regionality because it can evolve.
Mime Jr. was already teased in a picture, but didn’t make it into the game. Since then, we’ve been waiting for the baby Pokémon.
Is this Pokémon useful? Like any other baby Pokémon, Mime Jr. is useless in battle. After evolution, Mr. Mime isn’t much more useful either.
How could it be released? Baby Pokémon have only been released through eggs so far. This is likely to happen with Mime Jr. as well. The only question is how the developers plan to handle its regionality.
2. Rotom
What makes this Pokémon special? Rotom can take on the form of 5 different electronic devices. There is also the base form of Rotom.
These are all forms of Rotom
In the console games, you could decide which form Rotom should take in Rotom’s room. However, we are still waiting for an implementation in Pokémon GO.
Is this Pokémon useful? While Rotom looks fun in its various forms, it is not particularly useful. It only reaches just over 2000 CP, and its stats have a lot of room for improvement. So you won’t miss Rotom in battle.
How could it be released? How Rotom is released is probably the biggest mystery among the missing Pokémon. One might suspect a special research like it was with Drifblim.
3. Regigigas
What makes this Pokémon special? Regigigas is a legendary Pokémon that has not yet been available for battle. It is considered the leader of the Regi trio, which consists of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.
This means it can learn attacks from all 3 Regi types, even though it is a Normal type.
Is this Pokémon useful? Regigigas has incredibly strong stats. Its attack value is 287 and is almost as high as Mewtwo’s. However, being a Normal type means it doesn’t receive a bonus in any situation for attacking with a move of its type. Overall, Regigigas will be quite good, but not really useful in any situation.
How could it be released? Regigigas is a legendary Pokémon, so it will most likely be found in raids. It could be released after the return of Kyogre and Groudon, meaning it could be ready for release by mid-July.
4. Phione
What makes this Pokémon special? Phione is a mythical Pokémon. So far, no mythical Pokémon from Generation 4 has found its way into the game.
Is this Pokémon useful? Phione has poor stats and can only reach 2105 CP. In battle, you won’t be able to do much with Phione.
How could it be released? Mystical Pokémon have always been released through EX raids or special research. This summer, a special research with Jirachi is first planned. Deoxys is currently in the EX raid. Therefore, the release may take a little longer.
5. Manaphy
What makes this Pokémon special? Manaphy is, just like Phione, a mythical Pokémon. It is hardly distinguishable from Phione.
In the console games, you could breed a Manaphy with Ditto and hatch Phione from an egg afterward. However, this breeding feature is still completely missing in Pokémon GO.
Is this Pokémon useful? Manaphy has good stats, but it faces a lot of competition among water Pokémon, so it will not be among the best Pokémon.
How could it be released? A release through an EX raid or special research is also conceivable here. However, just like with Phione, this may still be far off.
6. Darkrai
What makes this Pokémon special? This dark-type Pokémon is a mythical Pokémon. Niantic is probably waiting for the right moment for its release, as it is one of the absolute fan favorites.
Is this Pokémon useful? Darkrai will be a true powerhouse! Its attack value can nearly match Mewtwo, and it also has a defense value that is quite decent.
Its disadvantage is the moves, which are not the best. One can hope that it gets another overhaul.
How could it be released? A release through an EX raid or a special research is also conceivable here. Darkrai is already being considered the successor to Deoxys, which will remain for a few more weeks, as there is still a form that needs to come into the game.
7. Shaymin
What makes this Pokémon special? Shaymin can appear in 2 forms – in its Land Forme and its Sky Forme. Shaymin is a mythical Pokémon and is of the Grass type (Sky Forme also being a Flying type).
The two forms of Shaymin
Here, there will be 2 challenges. First, the introduction of a mythical Pokémon, and then the implementation of both forms.
Is this Pokémon useful? Both forms have solid stats, especially the Sky Forme has a strong attack value.
However, neither Pokémon has a Grass-type quick move, which means it cannot be truly useful.
How could it be released? As with the other mythical Pokémon, Shaymin is likely to enter the game through an EX raid or a special research. The release is likely to take some time.
8. Arceus
What makes this Pokémon special? Arceus is regarded as the creator of the Pokémon world. It is a mythical Pokémon and can assume any type in the game through special plates.
Arceus in its Normal Form
Depending on which plate Arceus is currently holding, it also changes its appearance. It remains to be seen how Pokémon GO will bring this variability into the game.
Is this Pokémon useful? Not much can be said about that yet. If Arceus can actually take on every type and also know good moves, then it should be incredibly useful.
How could it be released? Like for every mythical Pokémon, it is likely to enter the game through an EX raid or special research. However, since it is such a special Pokémon, Niantic could also come up with something entirely new for it.
In advance of E3 2019, Bungie announced the new autumn expansion Shadowkeep for Destiny 2 . At the event itself, they revealed where exactly the new storyline begins.
What we knew so far about the story of Shadowkeep: On June 6, Bungie finally revealed more about the future of Destiny 2. The game will receive a new expansion – Shadowkeep – this coming fall.
This leads the Guardians back to the moon of Earth. There, a force of the Hive has awakened and threatens to spread beyond the moon and plunge humanity back into an age of darkness.
Together with the missing Eris Morn, the Guardians will enter a mysterious citadel, where they must confront horrific “shadows” and “nightmares.” But it’s not just the Hive that threatens our existence. Something even more terrifying is said to have awakened deep in the Hellmouth.
This is what many Guardians are wondering: Many fans are curious about how the new expansion Shadowkeep fits into the storyline of Destiny 2. After all, content following the Forsaken expansion has focused on several side stories from the Destiny universe.
Moreover, new locations have so far been added according to a specific pattern. The spreading light of the awakened Traveler in the credits of the main game of Destiny 2 chronologically encounters all previous DLC locations. At the very end, it reaches the mysterious triangular spaceships associated with the Darkness.
To refresh your memory, you can watch the end of Destiny 2 here again:

This sequence has served fans as a sort of timeline for upcoming expansions. According to this system, after the Reef, the next would be Oryx’s Dreadnaught. By the way, the moon was hit first by the energy wave, but hasn’t appeared in the game so far.
This is what Bungie revealed at E3 2019: At E3 2019, Bungie provided more clarity. There, Destiny Franchise Director Luke Smith shared some new details.
The story of Shadowkeep will begin exactly where the main story of Destiny 2 ended – namely with the awakening of the Traveler from the mentioned video. The energy outburst essentially heralds what follows in Shadowkeep. The narrative in Shadowkeep is said to be the direct result of these events and continues them (i.e., the main story), according to Smith.
What can we expect? According to Smith’s statement, it is quite possible that we will finally learn in Shadowkeep what the pyramid-like ships are all about. Because it is precisely with their “awakening” that the events, which Shadowkeep is supposed to build upon in October, end.
That we might soon encounter these ships has already been hinted at in other parts of Destiny 2 – for example, in the invitations of the Nine or during the visit to the Queen’s Court.
Are you looking forward to finally learning more about the mysterious ships?
What were your highlights during the Microsoft press conference at E3 2019? Which game did you find the coolest? Let us know!
What we expected from the conference: Before the start of E3, countless rumors and leaks circulated regarding the new games, features, and consoles that we would see.
Alongside the expected big titles like Halo Infinite and Cyberpunk 2077, fans were also anticipating some unannounced titles as usual.
It was also speculated that Microsoft would introduce its new console for the first time: the next Xbox. So it was going to be an exciting conference.
What Microsoft announced: Several major games were the focus at Microsoft:
Elden Ring: The new title from FromSoftware, created in collaboration with J.R.R. Martin
Many new indie games and smaller titles were also showcased. A large portion of them will be available for Xbox Game Pass owners, including Gears of War 5.
For the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, further content for 2019 was announced at E3 2019. Learn here what else is happening in the upcoming DLCs of the Season of the Dragon 2019: the DLCs bring dungeons and even a new zone.
At the Bethesda press conference at E3 2019, more information about the two upcoming DLCs for The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) was finally revealed. We now know where the two missing expansions in 2019 will lead us.
It’s Time to Tackle the Dragons in 2019
As every year, ESO offers four releases in 2019. In the first quarter, it was the dungeon pack for Wrathstone, and in the second quarter, it recently came with the large new chapter addon for Elsweyr.
However, there should still be two more DLCs in 2019, which will continue and finally conclude the story of the return of the dragons in Elsweyr. What is included in the new DLCs, you will find out here.
The DLC for Q3 2019: Scalebreaker
Here’s what’s in the 3rd content update: The third DLC will again be a dungeon pack. As before, there will be two dungeons that this time are thematically connected. This was already the case in Q1 in Wrathstone.
The DLC will come in August and will likely introduce the dragon hunters led by Sai Sahan from the trailer inserted below.

Here’s what’s in the 4th content update: In the 4th quarter, the final DLC for 2019 will take us into a new, large adventure zone. This time, we are heading back to Elsweyr, but to the previously inaccessible southern region of the cat land.
Although it won’t be as large as the north from the Elsweyr addon, you will still have plenty to do until you have explored everything and completed the story of the Season of the Dragon.
In this, the returning dragon hunters under the command of Sai Sahan, who is already known from the main game, play a role.
The final DLC for 2019 will be released in November.
How can you get the DLCs? As always, the DLCs will be available in the Crown Store from release. Those who have a subscription called ESO-Plus receive them for free for the duration of the subscription and can play them without restrictions for as long as they want.
Bethesda made big announcements about Fallout 76 at the E3 2019 . New features are coming that players have long awaited and criticized for being missing. This includes a brand new mode and even a free trial.
What was announced? In the Bethesda press conference in the early morning of June 10, new content for Fallout 76 was announced. It particularly focused on the Wastelanders update, which is set to be released in fall 2019.
One of the biggest and most important announcements is the introduction of human NPCs and proper dialogues. The absence of NPCs has been heavily criticized for a long time. Additionally, with Nuclear Winter, the Battle Royale mode “Nuclear Winner” will be introduced.
As a small incentive, Fallout 76 will be free to play from June 10 to June 17. During this event, the Battle Royale mode is also expected to be active.
We have embedded the trailer for Wastelanders here for you:

Fallout 76: What’s coming with Wastelanders and Nuclear Winter
What’s coming with Wastelanders? One of the key announcements is the appearance of human NPCs. In the short trailer for Wastelanders, NPCs were shown who have heard that there is hope in Appalachia.
As players, you will now apparently have the opportunity to ally with these NPCs in groups, which could also lead to conflicts. Every decision is said to have consequences.
One of the newly populated areas will likely be the crashed space station in the north of Appalachia.
What is the new mode? In the also announced “Nuclear Winter” update, which is set to start this summer, there will be a new mode called “Nuclear Winner”. This evidently relates to the recently discovered Vault 51.
The Vault currently has no overseer. This task will fall to you. However, to become overseer, you will be thrown into a battle royale with 52 players and must survive.

When will the new content arrive? The new “Nuclear Winter” update, including the new mode, can already be tested during the free week.
Wastelanders is expected to be released in fall 2019. A specific date has not yet been announced.
Bethesda head Todd Howard admitted at the start of the conference that Fallout 76 had major difficulties and received justified criticism. This seems to have been heard:
At the E3 2019 , a new DLC for Borderlands 2 titled “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary” was announced and released. We will tell you how to download and start playing immediately on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
For fans of the Borderlands series, there was a special highlight at Microsoft’s press conference. In addition to a brand new trailer for Borderlands 3, a new content for Borderlands 2 was announced. “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary” is a completely new DLC for Borderlands 2 that has been released immediately.
What are the requirements? To download and play the DLC for Borderlands 2, you must own at least the base game Borderlands 2 on PC or the “Handsome Collection” on PS4 and Xbox One.
How can you download the DLC? It works very simply via Steam (PC). Just select Borderlands 2 from the menu and check the downloadable content. The new DLC should be listed there for you to install – if it hasn’t been installed automatically already.
On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, you just need to open the respective store and search for the DLC. Since it is free, you don’t have to pay anything for it.
How do you start the DLC? To begin the adventure “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary”, you simply need to visit a fast travel station in the game and can directly enter the new DLC area.
However, you should ensure that your character has reached at least level 30, otherwise the enemies are likely too strong. Alternatively, you can also create a new character directly at level 30 in the main menu, which will start in the DLC area directly.
What is the DLC about? In the DLC, you accompany the Siren Lilith and experience, as the name suggests, the battle for the capital Sanctuary. The DLC serves as a “bridge” between Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3, which will be released later this year. The DLC is meant to tease fans for the upcoming sequel.
It is also recommended to have completed the main story of Borderlands 2, as there could otherwise be massive story spoilers.

What is Ghostwire Tokyo? According to the presentation at E3 2019, Ghostwire Tokyo will not be a survival horror like Evil Within. However, horror remains because suddenly a large part of Tokyo’s population disappears. Only their clothes are left behind.
Now, eerie figures from Japanese mythology roam the streets. Your job as a masked archer is to get to the bottom of the mystery and find out what is behind the creepy occurrences.
However, we do not know what the gameplay looks like. Only the impressive trailer was shown.
When and for which platforms does Ghostwire release? Unfortunately, nothing was said about that at the press conference.
ZeniMax, the creators of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, recently sought new developers for another project. We learned more about it at the E3 2019.
The Bethesda press conference at E3 2019 had some surprises in store. After ESO presented its new DLCs for 2019, Studio Director Matt Firor promised information about the next game from the studio. They were recently looking for a number of developers and many players wondered if it would be a new MMO.
This is definitely not the case. At least not for the current announcement at E3 2019 from ZeniMax.

Colorful Cartoon Mobile Game instead of MMORPG
What kind of game is ZeniMax developing? Anyone expecting a new ESO will initially rub their eyes in disbelief. The new ZeniMax game is a mobile game called Commander Keen. This IP comes from id Software from the 90s.
The game is now back as a cute, colorful jump-n-run game where you embody the twins Billy and Billie and experience intergalactic adventures.

When is Commander Keen coming out? According to the stream at E3 2019, the soft launch of Commander Keen will take place in summer 2019. The game will be released for the platforms Android and iOS.

What we now know about DOOM Eternal
How cool is the gameplay demo: The gameplay demo features many different weapons, all of which apparently play differently. These include:
a minigun
sniper rifles
and the iconic double-barrel shotgun
Also included are Glory Kills such as dismemberment with the chainsaw or ripping off limbs, which then directly kill the demons.
The Doomslayer also received cool features in Eternal. A flamethrower is attached to his left shoulder, a grappling hook is under his weapons, and he has a blade on his arm, which allows him to execute spectacular finishers.

What’s new with Youngblood? Wolfenstein: Youngblood takes place 20 years after the last installment in Nazi-occupied Paris, and you play as one of two sisters searching for their father, blasting through the ranks of the Nazis.
Youngblood will be playable in coop. You can therefore liberate Paris together with a friend from the Nazis.
How does the mix of coop and Dishonored-levels play? From what the first gameplay video shows, Wolfenstein: Youngblood will stay true to the series with bloody and quirky action.
A plethora of different and crazy weapons are at your disposal to dismantle the Nazis and their gigantic mechs.
The objective of Wolfenstein: Youngblood will apparently be to find your father. If a few hundred Nazis bite the dust along the way, that will surely be more than welcome in the game.
When is Wolfenstein Youngblood coming out? Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on July 26, 2019.
This is Wolfenstein VR: Wolfenstein is getting a VR version with Cyberpilot. In Cyberpilot, you take on the role of a hacker from the French resistance.
You hack into the war machines, massive Nazi mechs, and turn them against them. Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot is coming out in July 2019.
