The new season brought Path of Exile yet another player record. With the launch of Legion, more fans played the hack & slash than ever before.
What record is it about? Last weekend, the hack-and-slash game Path of Exile set a new player record. The free-to-play game is regularly expanded with new addons and seasons, known as leagues, and can continuously set new records for player numbers.
On June 7th, the new season “Legion” launched. On the following weekend, a peak of over 224,000 players was recorded on the main server of Path of Exile. Players on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles as well as Chinese fans were not included.
Where does the record come from? Along with the new season, PoE was also released in Korea last weekend. In Korea, the game is marketed together with Kakao Games.
As the developers of Grinding Gear Games stated, the launch of Legion was the smoothest launch ever, despite the exploding player numbers. Although there were some client crashes at the beginning, the developers were able to fix many issues in the first days.
What is Legion? The story of Legion revolves around the most powerful military leaders of the land of Wraeclast, who are trapped in an eternal war. Players must free their legions and fight against them to earn their rewards.
With Legion, the melee characters were also revamped and the difficulty level was increased. The developers wanted to give all players the feeling that they could achieve something through tough challenges.
In Apex Legends, players have come across an interesting change near the island. There are two giant monsters that have now moved for the first time.Fans now suspect a possible event, as Fortnite has done.
What are these monsters? The monsters are 2 leviathans, which are sea monsters. They have been standing off the coast of King’s Canyon since the game began and have not moved until now.
Now player “FrozenFroh” noticed that the two monsters have moved. They are now closer to the shore.
It would also make sense that the two monsters might rise from the water and that players will have to fight them.
Could events come regularly? This is quite conceivable. After the first season of Apex Legends didn’t have much exciting content, the second season is supposed to offer a lot more.
This giant dragon eye was shown at E3
It would make sense for Apex to hold such events regularly. After all, such events are very successful and well received with their competitor Fortnite. Respawn might have taken some inspiration from there.
Respawn has also announced map changes in Season 2. These could go hand in hand with such events. This also happens regularly in Fortnite. For example, a volcano destroyed entire cities.
What do players suspect behind this? On Reddit, players can also imagine such live events. For example, Arman275 writes: “It will be like Fortnite, where they also use small events to revise the map.”
User idkjoshidk is excited about this and writes: “Finally a live event!”
When will we know more? Season 2 is scheduled to start on July 2. There, more could be learned about the movements of the monsters.
What do you think? Could these monsters soon play a larger role?
Players of World of Warcraft will have an old wish fulfilled. Soon they will be able to liberate Azeroth from their problems almost naked.
In World of Warcraft, players can customize their gear on a grand scale. Through the transmogification system, it is possible to give equipment a different appearance. However, there are quite strict rules that will be relaxed in the upcoming patch. With Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, your character can stroll through Azeroth (almost) naked without losing strength.
Transmog rules have been absurd at times: For years, fans have complained that the transmog rules are relatively absurd. Blizzard had previously stated that they wanted a certain look for characters that doesn’t seem too silly or absurd, as that would not be good for the game. That this was no longer the case with the old rules was proven by many fans, as they fought with mugs or fish as weapons.
This changes with Patch 8.2: With Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, Blizzard finally responds to the community’s pleas and changes some restrictions of the transmogification system. From now on, all armor pieces will have an option at the transmogifier to be completely hidden. The only exceptions are weapons and the character’s pants. Weapons are still needed for many attack animations, and pants are probably Blizzard’s last bastion against nudity.
Players are looking for the most airy clothing: This certainly does not stop players from already searching for the best pants models that allow a character to wear as little fabric (or metal) as possible. YouTuber Hazel from her channel Hazelnuttygames has created a suitable video and compiled a selection of different pants that keep a character as unembellished as possible.

Most of these items can be purchased at the auction house, but some are only available from certain reputation vendors. In any case, there are enough options to prance through the game world in reasonably airy clothing in the upcoming patch.
Will you soon be a naked champion of Azeroth? Or is that too silly for you and will you continue to wear your favorite set?

The Elder Scrolls Online revealed a new trailer for the upcoming content in 2019 at E3 2019. One particular scene was especially impressive and is celebrated by fans.
What was shown in the trailer? At the E3 2019, the trailer for the new content of ESO: Elsweyr and the Season of the Dragon was also shown during the Bethesda press conference.
In the epic cinematic, you see what happens immediately after the end of the first major trailer for Elsweyr . The Imperial Chancellor and Master Battlemage Abnur Tharn, along with his feisty Khajiit companion Khamira, rush back to stop the recently freed dragons while one is devastating a city.

Throughout the trailer, you see how Abnur, Khamira, and the nameless Breton necromancer deal significant damage to the dragon until it is finally slain by the newly arrived dragon hunters under the command of the Swordmaster Sai Sahan.
Hissing Cat is the Highlight
This is the big scene in the cinematic: A certain scene from the cinematic particularly delighted the fans. Because the tough Khajiit warrior Khamira, who is already the star of the video thanks to her heroic efforts, is ultimately confronted by the dragon, which roars at her angrily despite all her efforts.
Khamira is not particularly impressed by dragons.
But instead of backing down, the brave cat bares her fangs and defiantly hisses her disdain at the beast. Shortly after, she slashes its wings, making it an ideal target for anti-dragon ballistae.
This is how fans react: Khamira’s epic hissing is the absolute highlight of the cinematic for many fans. On Redditt, a thread has formed with over 3,000 upvotes and more than 100 comments where the community praises the brave cat:
“That’s so typical cat behavior!”
“It’s like those YouTube clips where cats chase off huge bears!”
“Khamira hissing at a dragon was something I had to see in this life.”
“This reminds me of my cat and my husky. And I know who I’d put my money on!”
“That hiss was so cute! That’s exactly what a cat would do in that situation!”
“One being in this scene is a killing machine that knows no fear. The other is a lame little dragon.”
That’s why even more players love the Khajiit now: Some players who previously didn’t think much of the Khajiit catfolk are suddenly keen to play one:
“I want to play a Khajiit now!”
“Me too, I was never a fan of them, and I remember when there were not even cats, but just people with cat face paint. But since I saw Khamira, I want to be a Khajiit too.” [Note: The cat-painted Khajiit are one of 17 variants of the catfolk]
That’s why the trailer is a GoT reference: Other players feel reminded of Game of Thrones, as in one scene in the last season, Jon Snow similarly bravely confronts a dragon while roaring.
“Okay, Jon Snow is also a cat.”
“Wow, Jon Snow really inspires people!”
“Ah, Jon Snow’s technique lives on.”
This is how the other characters in the video fare: Against the concentrated badass cat power, all other characters in the video pale and are relegated to side characters.
Even Abnur Tharn is just a sidekick in the video.
Even the actually cool Breton necromancer who faces the dragon in his ultimate tank form can’t withstand Khamira’s charm:
“The Breton hero is too edgy.”
What’s next for Khamira? It seems like the developers have created a cool new NPC in Khamira, who doesn’t have to hide from the other beloved characters in the game.
And it was already said at E3 that the trailer ends again on a cliffhanger and that there will likely be more cinematics with Khamira and the dragons throughout 2019.
Besides Khamira, many other felines are currently impressing players in ESO.
In Pokémon GO, Tyranitar is often put in the arena, but this is completely the wrong choice. We will tell you why.
When you look in Pokémon GO at the arenas, you will often see a Tyranitar alongside Heiteira, Snorlax, or Slaking. At first glance, this also looks mighty, as it has a lot of CP and is always a good choice in raids.
However, the first impression is deceiving because Tyranitar is a really bad choice in arenas. There is hardly a Pokémon that can be defeated more easily.
Why Tyranitar is so bad as a defender
How to counter Tyranitar? The Pokémon is of the Rock and Dark type. Fighting is very effective against both types. Tyranitar has a double weakness against this type.
Tyranitar is easily defeated by Machamp
Besides Fighting, the following types are also effective: Water, Grass, Bug, Ground, Fairy, and Steel. So you have many options to counter it.
What is the problem with Tyranitar? Simply because Tyranitar has so many weaknesses, it can be easily countered. Almost every Pokémon is effective against Tyranitar and can defeat it quickly.
Moreover, Machamp is the most used attacker in arenas, as it is also effective against the top defenders. A Machamp with Fighting moves needs only a few seconds to take down a Tyranitar.
To demonstrate this with exact numbers, we show you a battle simulation of a Machamp against a Tyranitar:
Here you can see that Heiteira is only defeated after 32.8 seconds. It takes about 3 times as long.
What can you put in the arena instead? Almost anything is better than Tyranitar. The top defenders, however, are:
Heiteira
Chansey
Snorlax
More good counters can be found here: The best Arena defenders in Pokémon GO.
Even Pokémon that you only put in the arena to send to the professor afterwards are often better than Tyranitar. So either put really good defenders in the arenas or save potions and put in Pokémon that you can delete afterwards.
At its press conference during the E3 2019, Square Enix introduced the new co-op shooter Outriders. Here’s what we know so far.
About this game: Outriders will be a new dark co-op shooter set in a sci-fi universe from People Can Fly. The game is set to release in summer 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Here you can watch the trailer:

That’s why Outriders reminds of Anthem and Doom: Some fans noted that Outriders is similar to Anthem in certain aspects.
Especially the alien world with its old mysterious architecture and obvious ruins of an ancient civilization, as well as the weather phenomena and the hostile environment, are somewhat similar to the world of Anthem.
Apparently, there will be no combat suits, but still different classes. Heavily equipped characters and elemental abilities, as showcased impressively by the lady in the three-person team in the trailer.
Moreover, the somewhat apocalyptic setting with demon-like enemies and the hellish environment also evokes the atmosphere of the well-known shooter Doom, where you fight against the spawn of hell.
What’s in Outriders: Earth is perishing, and some people are heading to the stars to find a new home. You take on the role of an “Outrider” and explore the hostile alien planet Enoch.
There you quickly realize that Enoch is not a place you would want to call home and build a colony. In the course of the story, you pursue a mysterious signal that you must investigate. Apparently, you cannot escape the relentless planet because the ship was damaged on the way to this alien world.
Outriders aims to provide a strong story that can be experienced either alone or with friends. Up to two additional players can join an ongoing game through the drop-in/drop-out system.
Special attention will be given to the gunplay, a lavish and bizarre arsenal of weapons, and a hostile world. The game depth is also said to offer a lot. More details cannot be revealed at this point, according to the developers.

At E3 2019, Ubisoft teased the 3rd DLC episode of The Division 2. A first trailer confirms: We’re going back to New York, and apparently, we’re hunting an old acquaintance.
This is shown in the E3 trailer: During Ubisoft’s press conference, a first story trailer was released for Episode 3. It mentions a rogue agent that needs to be taken down.
In the trailer, we see agents at a harbor. They take out an enemy with a flamethrower, who many players from The Division 1 may immediately recognize as a Cleaner. The Cleaners are a well-known faction from the first part.
Finally, the camera zooms out further and we get a glimpse of Manhattan, which seems to be on fire. Smoke clouds envelop the city.
Do we have to take down Aaron Keener?
This is what the trailer reveals about Episode 3: It is clear at first – We’re going back to New York, the city where the story of the predecessor took place.
The trailer mentions a rogue agent who has turned against his own brothers. Against the Division. The mission is apparently to take down this rogue:
We had the training. We fought to protect the weak. But training doesn’t prepare you to hunt someone you once called brother. He left us no choice. If we don’t stop him, there will be nothing left to save.

Who is the target? Everything points to Aaron Keener. He is a rogue agent of the “First Wave”, the first Division unit that operated in New York.
Keener went rogue after the government left the first wave in the Dark Zone of Manhattan and built walls around the quarantine zone.
He gathered several other rogues around him and killed anyone who did not want to follow him.
During the events in The Division 1, Keener managed to acquire the deadly virus.
The “Dollar Flu” is the biological weapon that was used to plunge the world of The Division into chaos.
Since then, Keener has been on the run, leaving messages for the Division. Apparently, his flight now comes to an end in Episode 3.
This is also supported by Massive having already confirmed Keener’s return. So far, Keener has not played a role in the main story of The Division 2. Therefore, Episode 3 should be the opportunity for that.
What can we expect in Episode 3? There are several possibilities for how New York could return.
It could be the complete map, which would mean a gigantic scope and effort for a DLC. Or it could be a single mode, such as a raid or survival. The latter seems to be the most likely.
This points to a survival mode:
In the trailer, agents appear to be poorly equipped.
The individual weapons of the specializations and the skills that are usually equipped are missing.
The shot Cleaner is directly relieved of his weapons.
While there is no definitive hint yet, a survival mode would be quite conceivable. After all, Manhattan was already used as a survival map in The Division 1.
This is how the survival mode was in The Division 1: In the first part, agents crashed over Manhattan during a blizzard.
You have to manage without equipment at first, defend against the cold, hunger, and thirst, and you also fall ill.
You have only limited time and resources to work your way to the center of the map, into the Dark Zone, and retrieve important data about the virus.
The further you push into the center, the harder the enemies become. Could it be similar in The Division 2, just with Keener as the target?
Perhaps it’s not directly returning to Manhattan, but to the surrounding neighborhoods. But there is nothing else to do but wait for more information. The fans can hardly wait.
Players are eager for revenge, looking forward to New York
This is how the community reacts: Many fans are over the moon on Reddit. They can hardly wait to return to New York. Some are also out for revenge on Aaron Keener. Ravagexe writes:
“AARON FU***ING KEENER! Finally, damn, I’ve been waiting for him and his badass rogue agents since when? 3 expansions and a sequel? Let’s hope my favorite Division villain doesn’t go out without a bang. I’m sure we’ll find only traces of him anyway, but an appearance wouldn’t hurt.”
Other players express similar sentiments. They do not believe that the story of Keener will be resolved in Episode 3 but rather that it is meant to prepare for The Division 3. For them, Keener is somewhat like the arch-nemesis, the main antagonist in The Division. It would be too much of a shame to dispose of him in a DLC.
Most are curious about which part of the city will be accessible and especially in what form. Most hope that they can finally explore other neighborhoods like Brooklyn. The Division 1 was limited to the southern half of Manhattan.
They also hope to encounter old acquaintances like Faye Lau and other comrades from the predecessor.
When will Episode 3 be released? The 3rd DLC concludes the 1st year of The Division 2 and is set to be released in January 2020.
You can read more about what else was presented about The Division 2 at E3 in our summary:
At the E3 2019, Bethesda announced that Fallout 76 will be available for free testing for a week. Included is the first feature of the new update: a Battle Royale. We will see if the new mode is worth it.
What kind of mode is this? During the press conference at E3, Bethesda announced a new game mode for Fallout 76. In the new mode “Nuclear Winter”, you fight with 51 other players for the Overseer position of Vault 51.
You fundamentally play in a team of four players, with a total of 13 participating in a round.
In the style of a classic Battle Royale, you must first gather equipment, weapons, and armor, and survive against other players until only you are left. A circle of fire gradually tightens.
For every victory (and also for defeats), you gain experience that increases your Overseer rank. With higher ranks, you receive rewards such as cosmetics.

Nuclear Winter – What the Community Says
Is Nuclear Winter worth it? Looking into the community, it can be said: Yes. The new “Nuclear Winter” mode is very well received, even or especially by players who usually do not like Battle Royale.
The presentation is nice, the loot is largely fair, and you find weapons fairly early in almost every round, surviving either the first fight quite well or quickly finding the next round.
This is being praised: In the subreddit of Fallout 76, since the start of the free-to-play week, there are constantly new threads on the topic of Battle Royale, some of which have now received over 1000 upvotes.
The following are particularly praised:
The rewards, which also include experience and caps for the adventure mode
The largely flawless implementation and stability
The smooth gameplay due to a relatively low “time to kill”
Perks that exist only for Nuclear Winter
No airplane from which to jump. You appear at the chosen point.
In general, the opinion is that the mode fits very well into the game and plays out “as one would imagine a Fallout Battle Royale to be.”
This is being criticized: Despite the great popularity of the mode, the community expresses some criticism and wishes for improvement:
More modes than just one for 4-player squads would be very welcome
A way to rejoin a game immediately after it ends, without being thrown back to the menu
An overseer level that is tied to the account rather than the character
In many of the feedback threads, representatives from Bethesda have already spoken up. Since the mode is currently scheduled to be tested for free until June 17, such feedback is desired and will be taken into account.
A nice overview, but a “New Match” button is still missing.
The “Battle Royale” mode is just the first feature of the “Nuclear Winter” update, which, along with Wastelanders, is still to come for Fallout 76:
A new event turns Yrel in Heroes of the Storm into a cute anime girl with a mecha skin. It doesn’t really fit, but that’s what makes it particularly funny.
Currently, not much is happening in Heroes of the Storm. After the developer team was drastically reduced about half a year ago, updates are coming slowly and major changes are taking longer to arrive. Nevertheless, the game is far from dead and delivers exactly what fans want: apparently, more anime girls.

Yrel as a cute anime girl: A new trailer is meant to get players excited for the upcoming event “Mecha Storm II,” which promises new skins, quests, and related rewards.
The highlight of the trailer are again the small anime moments, in which popular heroes from Heroes of the Storm receive anime loot.
This time, the Draenei Yrel gets into a mech, but the demon hunter Valla also receives a mecha outfit (and a cute anime look in the trailer).
Kawaii to the Max.
This especially reminds one of famous anime like “Neon Genesis Evangelion” or the “Gundam” series. The developers of HotS like to play with these popular elements from pop culture. There have already been clear anime skins in the past.
Yrel has become a fanatic in WoW: While Yrel in Heroes of the Storm still exhibits her relatively friendly, light-aligned nature, things look different in World of Warcraft.
Those who refuse are either coerced into accepting the light or simply killed. This is experienced, for example, in the questline to unlock the Mag’har Orcs.
Valla as a mech pilot – already very popular. Who wouldn’t want to see the matching anime?
When does the event start? The event “Mecha Storm II” starts on June 17 and runs until August 5 – so nearly 6 weeks into the summer. That is more than enough time to earn a ton of loot boxes in the new event or to purge a few unbelievers from the Nexus with Yrel.
At least it is nice to see that the developers of Heroes of the Storm still have plenty of ideas even with the smaller team and continue to push the absurdity to new heights. This is exactly what the game needs.
What do you think of the skins and the trailer? Do you like them? Or is HotS moving too far away from what the characters actually represent?
At the E3 2019, the Xbox Project Scarlett was announced for Christmas 2020. But what about the games? Will we have to part with our current favorite games?
What is it about? At Microsoft’s presentation at E3, the new generation of Xbox was officially introduced. The upcoming console is currently being developed under the name “Project Scarlett”.
Will you be able to play Xbox One games like Destiny 2 and ESO? Yes. Microsoft stated that they are working to bring “every previous game” to the Xbox Scarlett.
This means every game that is currently playable on the Xbox One, including over 600 backward-compatible games from previous generations Xbox and Xbox 360. The Xbox Scarlett should be able to play games from four Xbox generations.
However, it is still unknown whether these games will run or look better on the new console. Some games on Xbox One are “Xbox One Enhanced” and have been graphically overhauled.
The team is shifting its focus to ensure that all Xbox One games are playable on future hardware. This includes all Xbox 360 and original Xbox games that are currently available on Xbox One.
Ronald means that Microsoft added its last backward-compatible Xbox and Xbox 360 games to Xbox One this week. No further older games will follow, but the team is focusing on getting current games to work on the upcoming console.
Recently, Rainbow Six Brand Director Alexandre Remy mentioned that the Ubisoft shooter is also to be made playable on the new generation consoles. They are currently speaking with Sony and Microsoft to bring Rainbow Six Siege to PS5 and Xbox Scarlett.
Rainbow Six Siege is also expected to come to the new console generation, according to Ubisoft.
What is backward compatibility? Backward compatibility or backwards compatibility means that older software can run on newer hardware. In the case of Xbox One, these are games from the earlier generations Original Xbox and Xbox 360.
However, this does not mean that all older games run on the Xbox One. More and more games are regularly added to the catalog. If you own one of these games, you can insert the disc, or if you own the game digitally, download it from the store and install it on your console at no additional cost.
Your game saves (if you had cloud save activated on Xbox 360), addons, and achievements from the older game will be transferred to the Xbox One.
Halo Infinite was confirmed as a launch title for the Xbox Project Scarlett.
What is known about Scarlett? According to Microsoft’s presentation at E3 2019, the upcoming Xbox Scarlett is said to be four times as powerful as the current generation Xbox One. The console is expected to have the following features:
PS5 vs Xbox Scarlett: The upcoming PlayStation 5 will also offer backward compatibility. Sony has not focused on this feature in its consoles so far and has rather released selected games in a remastered version for newer consoles.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale comes with the next patch a new weapon, the Proximity Grenade Launcher. There are now also leaks of the values, but players are not very excited.
What is the new weapon?
The Proximity Grenade Launcher is
a new weapon that is supposed to appear in Fortnite soon. Dataminers have already
found out what values this weapon will have:
Rarity: Epic and Legendary
Damage: 67/70
Magazine: 2
Fire Rate: 0.65
Reload Time: 2.8
Range: 788/825
The damage of the weapon
actually does not decrease when you are further away. It is always the same, regardless
of the distance to the target.
It is also suspected
that the grenades either explode upon impact or near enemies, which would make cover quite useless.
Players do not want another explosive weapon
This is how the community reacts: On Reddit, reactions to the new weapon were rather subdued. Players are currently concerned about the meta, which according to some fans is developing again into a close-combat and “spray” meta.
So a playstyle in which you spray as many shots as possible at close range (spray). Therefore, the comments on Reddit are quite negative:
“I can already smell the salt.”
“I can see ahead how everyone will be outraged about how OP this weapon will be and that Epic is once again bringing an explosive weapon instead of fixing the messed-up loot pool!”
Furthermore, many players do not need another explosive weapon and are now afraid that the grenade launcher will be removed from the game. The new grenade launcher could render it obsolete since the new weapon shoots faster and may require less skill to use. The grenades from the regular launcher only explode after some time.
“The grenade launcher is already practically redundant. Hardly anyone uses it anymore.”
Other players hope that the new grenade launcher will kick the Boom Bow out of the game. It is also not particularly popular with players, and very few enjoy using it.
“I hope it takes out the Boom Bow, but I have my doubts.”
“Hopefully it replaces the Boom Bow, we have enough explosive weapons in the game!”
When will the Proximity Grenade Launcher be released? The new
weapon is expected to be added to the game in the next patch. This will likely be the case by June 13, 2019.
Shortly after the beginning of Season 7, players in Destiny 2 discovered a new secret area that is not yet regularly accessible. Fans are now wondering what this place is about.
This area is about: While scouring the area “The Infinite Forest” on Io (far in the south or bottom of the map), some clever Guardians stumbled upon a completely new area. This apparently came into play only with the last major Update 2.5.0.1, which heralded the Season 7 of Destiny 2.
This new area is still isolated from the regular game world and cannot be entered in the usual way. Players have therefore glitched themselves in there for research purposes.
What is hidden in this area? After accessing the area, the players set out to extensively explore this new zone.
This is a massive cave complex characterized by Vex architecture, traces of the Taken, mysterious structures, and a gigantic spherical structure.
Some static enemy and Guardian models were also found in there, which apparently serve as spawn points for enemies and Guardians when this area goes live.
This is what the fans are currently discussing: The find is currently causing various debates within the community. Guardians are wondering what this new area could be about.
The prevailing opinion, however, is that it is likely to be a new dungeon-like mission in the style of Whisper of the Worm or The Zero Hour for the Perfected Outbreak, which will go live at some point during Season 7. It is presumed that players will be hunting a new Exotic there, according to fans’ speculation.
However, according to data mining, none of these two weapons is tied to a mission of this kind – unless all data is not yet in the game, the data miners are mistaken, or they simply haven’t found everything in this context yet.
The most likely reward for this mission currently is considered to be the exotic Pulse Rifle Bad Juju. This is also expected to return this season. Initial data related to this weapon has already been found in the game – but nothing regarding the quest. However, fans believe it is likely that this weapon could be hidden behind such a mission.
While it is still speculated that Hawkmoon might also return this season, so far, no hints have been found for this weapon apart from the leak from AnonTheNine. We will keep you updated as soon as there is a new development on this.
What do you think? What is this new area about? Do you also believe there will be a new mission that brings back another Exotic as a reward?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Apocalypse, Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Co-op Action – all of this aims to mix together in Remnant: From the Ashes. And how cool it looks, you can see in the new gameplay trailer.
What is Remnant: From the Ashes? A dark force, the plant-like Root, invades Earth and wipes out almost all of humanity. Brave heroes embark on a journey to travel through dimensions. They seek a way to defeat the Root and save Earth.
It is played like a regular shooter. You choose a hero and set out to explore the randomly generated levels to fight monsters. Each monster requires a different tactic. Boss enemies are particularly challenging to defeat.
What does the game look like? You can also watch how Remnant looks and how it plays by looking at the E3 trailer. It strongly resembles Hellgate: London.

The Twitter user Sabi leaked many details about new games before the E3 press conferences. Now he received a message from Nintendo’s lawyers.
Who is Sabi? The user “Sabi” spread many details about the games that were showcased before the E3 press conferences of Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, and Square Enix via Twitter.
In the past months, Sabi mentioned that he and a few others would learn everything about the games before the conferences, including those from Nintendo. However, he said he would probably only receive the information on Monday.
Nintendo threatens a leaker
What happened now? However, there have been no leaks regarding Nintendo’s press conference so far. There is a specific reason for that. As Sabi explains, he received a call from a mysterious person. They stated that Nintendo became aware of him and would initiate legal action if information about the E3 press conference was leaked.
An email followed with the name of a lawyer who, according to research, has indeed worked for Nintendo before. Ultimately, Sabi agreed not to leak anything further.
What did Nintendo say? The email stated the following:
“As previously mentioned, Nintendo is aware of your online activities, including on Twitter and Discord, regarding the disclosure of confidential information about Nintendo’s games. It is also known that you intend to share such information ahead of E3.”
Furthermore, it continued: “Nintendo considers your activities to be an abuse of its trade secrets. If you continue to disclose such information or pursue your plans regarding E3 information, Nintendo will consider all legal options, including initiating court proceedings against you.”
Leaker feels creeped out
Sabi is surprised: Sabi actually expected that someone from the other companies would contact him, as he had indeed disclosed information from Bethesda and Microsoft beforehand.
Moreover, he found it “creepy” that he could be tracked down since he does not currently live in the country where he is a citizen. Somehow, Nintendo got hold of his private number.
What about the leaks? Sabi mentioned that his source, whose name he obviously did not want to reveal and whom he has only known for a few weeks, will surely find another way to leak the information about Nintendo’s E3 press conference. If not through Sabi, then through someone else.
When is the Nintendo conference taking place? Nintendo will present the game lineup at the E3 tonight at 6 PM.
At E3 2019, the new game Marvel’s Avengers was officially presented. The trailer is well-received, but one detail causes laughter among viewers.
What kind of game is it? Marvel Avengers is set to release in May 2020 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia. Up to 5 players can play together in multiplayer mode.

How are fans reacting to the trailer? Overall, the trailer is positively received. On YouTube, the video has already garnered over 132,000 thumbs up, while only 6,000 thumbs down.
Even in our MeinMMO community, the trailer is well-received. “Corbenian” writes about the trailer: “This could be the first Avengers game that really turns out well. Let’s see how it ends up and how it plays. ”
“DerFrek” responds: “Well, I’m looking forward to seeing more and I will definitely test it.”
This is causing laughter: However, the positive comments are almost overshadowed as there is also a lot of mockery. People are laughing at the characters who do not resemble the Avengers from the movies at all. Their faces look rather bad, which is being commented on Reddit and Twitter with funny sayings and memes.

At E3 2019, Conan Exiles developer Funcom announced a new game: Conan Chop Chop. This has been known since April, but it was actually an April Fools’ joke that is now really happening.
What is Conan Chop Chop? On April 1, 2019, Funcom announced Conan Chop Chop, a game that wanted to poke fun at current gaming trends.
Funcom was quite exaggerated at the time. They claimed there would be billions of dungeons available and a Battle Royale with 2000 players would be implemented. Furthermore, Conan Chop Chop was supposed to run in 12K, 360° Virtual Reality.
Many fans and the press found the game and the idea so well-developed that they wished it was not just an April Fools’ joke. Funcom listened and introduced Conan Chop Chop at the PCGamer press conference.

What are the features? The new trailer we included above already shows a bit of the “new” gameplay, which differs from the April version. The graphics have not changed, it remains a 2D adventure roughly in the “Legend of Zelda” style.
On the official website, you can find more information about the features. Thus, Conan Chop Chop offers:
1-4 player co-op
a selection of well-known gods from the Conan universe
Dangerous bosses like sandworms, the frost giant from Vanaheim, and Thoth-Amon himself
A quest system
Randomly generated dungeons
The combat system currently seems rather simple, but offers customization options for equipment, skills, and combos. This strongly resembles a hack & slash.
With the existing enemies, Funcom has really gone to town. Classic foes like skeletons await you, as well as unusual enemies like brains on spider legs.
When and where can I play Conan Chop Chop? Conan Chop Chop is set to release on September 3, 2019, for PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. It already has its own store page on Steam.
By the way, Conan Chop Chop is not the first April Fools’ joke that has been implemented:
Indie developer Donkey Crew presented a new gameplay trailer for the survival MMO Last Oasis at E3 and announced the release date for the Early Access version.
What is Last Oasis?It is a survival MMO where you flee from the sun. In the future, our Earth no longer rotates, resulting in only a small habitable zone remaining. Where the sun shines, no life can exist anymore.
The habitable zone of our once blue planet is slowly changing. The last surviving humans have become nomads, fleeing from the sun with wooden vehicles called Walkers, while gathering as many resources as possible along the way.
Clans wage wars with moving fortresses against each other to harvest the few remaining resources. What that looks like is shown in the new gameplay trailer from E3:

How does Last Oasis play? It is a survival game where PvP is important. You are either on foot or building your own Walker. These can even become something like moving fortresses from which clans operate. At oases, you gather resources to survive and to keep upgrading your Walker. Other players do the same, which leads to frequent skirmishes. Walkers collide with each other.
You must always keep an eye on the sun because the “death zone” is approaching relentlessly, so you should not linger too long in one place, as the heat will kill you. Thus, a constant “moving” war over the last resources on Earth ensues.
What does this remind you of? The concept of moving cities is somewhat reminiscent of Philip Reeve’s “Mortal Engines” book series. The first book was adapted into a film directed by Peter Jackson in 2018.
Why are players currently a bit skeptical? There is a noticeable skepticism in the community. This is despite Last Oasis looking very good and generally being well received by players.
The problem is that the developers worked on a battle game called Of Kings and Men (OKAM) about two years ago. The title was even available on Steam during Early Access. It is no longer available, and supporters feel cheated.
However, the developers explain that they ceded the rights to the game to another company which promised them financial support in developing OKAM. But essentially, the team worked in vain. Eventually, work was halted, damaging the studio’s reputation.
Now, the team aims to prove with Last Oasis that they are not to blame for the troubles surrounding OKAM and can release a good game.
How is the fantasy author involved in the development of the new RPG from the Dark Souls creators? The head of FromSoftware, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has now explained this in more detail in an interview.
This is what the interview was about: In the interview, Hidetaka Miyazaki talked about the development of Elden Ring. He explained what kind of game Elden Ring will be and since when it has been in development.
He also spoke about the role of George R. R. Martin, who is involved in the development of the game. Martin is mainly known for his book series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which the series Game of Thrones is based on.
The Mythos of Elden Ring
Who is Hidetaka Miyazaki? He is the president of FromSoftware. Miyazaki is known as the creative mind behind popular games like Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls series (1 and 3), Bloodborne, or Sekiro.
All of these games stand for brilliant level design, enigmatic stories, great battles, and a tough difficulty level. Now, Elden Ring will be the next big title from Miyazaki.
This is one of the only two artworks that have been published so far
How did the collaboration come about? Miyazaki is himself a big fan of George R. R. Martin. Thus, the idea came from him. However, he initially did not expect a collaboration.
That I am such a big fan of Mr. Martin led to our Executive Business Director Eiichi Nakajima contacting him, expecting that we would receive a rejection.
Finally, there was a conversation between Martin and Miyazaki, which Hidetaka himself describes as “incredible fun and stimulating.” This encouraged him to want to work with Martin, which ultimately happened.
Also, regarding the themes that Miyazaki had planned for the game, it seems they quickly found common ground. Thus, the work began.
The first scenes from the trailer show dark fantasy
This role was played by the Game of Thrones author: George R. R. Martin was mainly involved in creating “the mythos for the game world itself.”
This mythos was full of interesting characters and dramas with an abundance of mystical and mysterious elements. It was a wonderful source of inspiration for me and the development team.
Miyazaki himself can sometimes hardly contain his excitement and hopes that others will also enjoy it. But what else do we know so far about Elden Ring?
Elden Ring is once again heading towards Dark Fantasy
This is what we know so far about Elden Ring: So far, there is hardly any solid information.
It will be an action RPG with a dark fantasy setting
As in previous games, the character will be controlled from a third-person perspective
The difficulty level will also be challenging again
However, the focus will be on the RPG elements
There will be magic and all sorts of weapons and equipment
Once again, you can also create your own character
In comparison to Dark Souls, Elden Ring is expected to offer more freedom in gameplay. Miyazaki also emphasizes the significantly larger game world:
[…], I would say the biggest difference is that it will be open world. Therefore, the scale, narrative, as well as depth and freedom of exploration have dramatically expanded. It is undoubtedly our largest title so far, in terms of pure scope.
What can you expect from the game world? You will implement your own version of the “open world” idea. It will be a world full of threats, but also of many places that can be discovered.
There will also be large, multi-part “castles” that want to be explored. There is no further information on this yet. However, previous leaks mentioned a Nordic or Celtic-inspired setting.

This is how you win the race Vinewood Bowl in GTA Online
The course of the track: This track is a bit more complicated than other time trials, which is why you should first take a close look at the course. There are two important points that we will mark with exclamation marks on the map.
At the first exclamation mark, you leave the road and continue on the tracks from there. At the second exclamation mark, which should be slightly above the shown map section, you leave the tracks.
This is how the drive goes: After the start, stay on the marked main road. At the first exclamation mark, you leave the road to the left, accelerate up a small hill, and then land on the tracks.
You follow the tracks over a bridge, through a tunnel. Shortly after the tunnel, you again leave the tracks on the left side. There is a conspicuous stone that you jump over and then land on the premises of a company.
Shortly after the tunnel, you leave the tracks over this stone
You then leave the premises through a gap as shown in the image here:
Leave the company’s premises here to find the forest path
Then you drive up a small hill again and finally arrive on a paved forest path. Follow that to the main road, then drive along the main road to the junction to the finish.
If you arrive there on time, you will receive the 102,000 GTA Dollars. If you want to earn more money, you can find other activities here:
Video guide: Since the route in this race is a bit more complicated, it’s worth watching the video guide from GTA Series first and memorizing the route.

Can you repeat the race? Yes, you can drive the race as often as you want. However, you only receive the 102,000 GTA Dollars once a week. After that, this race only brings a consolation prize of $2,000 to $4,000.
Which vehicles should you use? Motorcycles are recommended here that can handle the off-road sections of the track well. However, we were also successful with the Shotaro, albeit barely.
At E3, Ubisoft presented the open-world action game Watch Dogs Legion. Players are now wondering if there will be a multiplayer mode, as nothing has been said about it yet. However, fans can be excited: Watch Dogs 3 will feature a co-op mode for up to 4 players.
What is Watch Dogs Legion? The latest installment in the open-world action game series transports you to near-future London. England has become a surveillance state after Brexit, and the underground organization DedSec is trying to spark a revolution. To do this, as many citizens as possible need to be mobilized.

What makes the game special? You do not play as a predetermined character, but can recruit any NPC in the city and play as them. Each person has unique abilities that you need to utilize in missions.
If a character dies, they are really dead. You will need to find a “replacement”.
There is Multiplayer
What about multiplayer? The two predecessors offered an asynchronous multiplayer mode, where players could occasionally appear at specific locations. You would then either have to fight them or hack them.
No information about a multiplayer mode for Watch Dogs Legion was discussed during the E3 presentation. However, information has now appeared in the Uplay store that you can take your team into the online mode and cooperatively face challenges with three other friends.

It’s possible to explore the world together and master co-op missions as well as endgame content. The online mode is expected to be regularly expanded with new content such as additional modes and events.
This suggests that you will complete the story alone in single-player and can additionally utilize an online mode. It does not seem like you will be able to experience the story cooperatively.
But a final confirmation is still pending.
What else was said about the online mode? Creative Director Clint Hocking explained during E3 that teamwork is important. He did not want to reveal if there would be additional modes beside the 4-player co-op mode at release. However, it is possible that you can show each other’s teams to determine which player has recruited which NPCs.
When does Watch Dogs Legion? Ubisoft will release the new action game on March 6, 2020.
