What was shown? A new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 was released. In the video, we see the handoff of a chip between a goon who was supposed to obtain the chip and his client. However, the deal doesn’t go as planned. Apparently, the heist was too conspicuous. Now the clients want to cause trouble and eliminate the messenger.
He naturally fights back, and during this, we also get to see some of the cool modifications that you can install in your body in Cyberpunk. These include not only scanners, but also retractable blades that can be used against enemies.
Especially cool: The actor Keanu Reeves will also play a role in Cyberpunk 2077! He came on stage himself to announce the release date.
When will Cyberpunk 2077 be released? A release date for Cyberpunk 2077 has also been stated. Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on 16.04.2020. There’s still just under a year to go until players can plunge into the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

Scavengers is one of the games being developed with SpatialOS.
What’s special about Scavengers? The unique gimmick is said to be the ability to switch between “combat” and “cooperation.” When encountering a group, you must decide whether to collaborate with them to achieve the common goal or engage in combat for survival.
The world is dangerous. There are not only enemy players, but also strange creatures and a hostile environment lurking.
It is therefore a survival game, albeit with a somewhat different approach than most other games in the category.
Additionally, Scavengers relies on the “Spatial-OS” technology, which promises great advances in the design of online worlds. With SpatialOS, relatively small teams are expected to be able to create large virtual worlds.

During a fan event, the developers of Black Desert Online released information about upcoming content. The focus is on PvE, which will receive new features and major revisions.
What new features are planned? Players of Black Desert can look forward to many new features. The highlights are:
The announcements were made in Korean and later translated into English. Apparently, the new features are intended to be released simultaneously across all versions of the game. This seems to be another step towards the global version of Black Desert.
When are the new features coming to the game? All announced new features are expected to come to the game this summer. Some already have more specific dates:
The new class Shai is set to be released on June 19
The revision of old areas is also scheduled for June
Additionally, all players will receive a Wizard Gosphey Pet as a free gift. This will be distributed in Europe during the maintenance on June 12.
What is the “Altar of Blood”? The new game mode is designed for three players who must actively collaborate and coordinate to succeed.
The game mode resembles a tower defense mode, where a relic must be protected. However, this time players will use their own equipment, unlike the Horde mode Savage Rift.
During the presentation, the game mode was described as very difficult. The developers reportedly even criticized each other during testing when mistakes were made.
Old areas are to become more interesting and challenging
Which areas will be revised? This summer, Black Desert aims to breathe new life into old areas. Fadus has already been adjusted with the Starfall patch.
Now Pollys Forest and Ashen Forest are set to follow.
What changes are being made to Pollys Forest? Pollys Forest is to become more like Gahaz and provide an alternative. The difficulty and loot of enemies will be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, there will be a new treasure mushroom that provides buffs to your character.
What changes are being made to Ashen Forest? Ashen Forest is set to undergo even more extensive revisions and become a new endgame area. Both the difficulty and the rewards will be adjusted accordingly.
The developers recommend 310 AP and 400 DP for the new version of the area. There will also be monsters that no player should be able to defeat alone.
Realistic experiences at sea
What is “The Great Expedition”? The new sailing expansion “The Great Expedition” aims to enhance the current experiences with maritime content in two updates:
The first update focuses on new islands and new ships.
What changes are being made to the seas of Black Desert? A significant new feature is the introduction of tides and wind currents. You should be able to move faster in the future when utilizing these influences, but also slower if you are caught off guard by them.
Additionally, new ships are planned, which you will be able to use to explore the seas. So far, a Karak and a Galley have been presented, but there will be more ships.
Adjustments to PvP and UI
What changes are being made to PvP? The developers announced in a livestream in Korea that changes are also planned for PvP. The focus is on Node and Conquest Wars.
Adjustments are planned, which will make coordination and strategy more important than the sheer strength of guilds. More detailed information is expected to follow later.
Many more new features: Pearl Abyss has also announced many additional adjustments for Black Desert. This includes:
At EA Play, the first official scenes from FIFA 20 were shown. You can find all the information about the new Volta mode, gameplay features, and innovations here.
This is how the reveal of FIFA 20 went: In the EA Play stream, gameplay scenes from FIFA 20 were shown for the first time. Moderator Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez spoke with lead producer Sam Riveira about the new features in FIFA 20. And there are quite a few.
Gameplay: What makes FIFA 20 different
EA promised improvements: Even before the presentation, EA Sports announced that they wanted to address the criticism from FIFA 19 players.
How the game will now change: At EA Play, producer Sam Riveira explained that the community had a significant impact on the new installment. This culminated in the new system “Football Intelligence”.
This is “Football Intelligence”: It aims to provide a new game flow, allowing players to make more of offensive situations. This consists of several individual features:
One-on-one situations will be improved.
FIFA 20 weakens AI defense. However, it is intended to act as intelligent support for the player.
Tackling becomes significantly more rewarding with the new “Controlled Tackling”. If you stop the opponent at the right moment, you will get the ball.
AI-controlled players will intervene more in the game, creating more types of scoring chances. The “Natural Player Motion” is intended to ensure realistic behaviors on the pitch.
Dribbling will still allow chaining skill moves, but it will be more challenging and is expected to lead to more realistic results. This means: “La Croqueta” chains will become less likely.
The new “Drag Dribbling” allows you to lure the opponent and then leave them behind with dynamic movements.
What changes with the ball: A new ball physics system should provide more realism. This is called “Football Informed Motion”. This system is intended to ensure that the ball performs much more authentic movements. This concerns the rotation of the ball as well as its bounce and rebound from the ground.
New trajectories will also be introduced that you haven’t seen in the FIFA series before. This applies also for regular shots taken during gameplay. Overall, you should have more control, so that FIFA 20 doesn’t feel random.
Free kicks and penalties receive new targeting systems
This is how the standards change: In FIFA 20, free kicks and penalties are adjusted and receive completely new targeting systems. With free kicks, you’ll have full control over the ball’s curve, which can be adjusted and controlled in FIFA 20 using the right stick.
EA emphasizes that the new free kick and penalty systems will provide more fun and significantly more control over the ball. Additionally, free kicks should be skill-based and give substantial advantages to players who practice a lot.
This is new: In FIFA 20, you will finally have the ability to give commands to the goalkeeper. Previously, you could only give instructions to the outfield players. With the new goalkeeper commands, you can dictate their behavior both in and out of the penalty area.
These instructions for goalkeepers will exist:
Inside the penalty area: There are three different commands for goalkeepers positioned inside the penalty area.
Cautious with crosses – With this setting, the goalkeeper behaves defensively and stays on the line.
Balance – Here the keeper decides his behavior as in FIFA 19 and attempts to act accordingly.
Catching crosses – The goalkeeper is more aggressive and tries to catch crosses.
Outside the penalty area: For the behavior outside the penalty area, there are 2 instructions to choose from.
Sweeper Keeper – With this setting, the keeper will go more aggressively for the ball and will leave the penalty area in emergency situations. He will seek one-on-one situations.
Balance – As in FIFA 19, the goalkeeper will play autonomously and act with balance.
“Volta” – FIFA Street in the FIFA 20 version
This is the new game mode “Volta”:The VOLTA mode is essentially the FIFA 20 variant of the well-known game FIFA Street. The mode features its own story as well as the VOLTA World mode. You can create your own player and have him compete in various sized pitches around the world. Matches will be played in either 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 modes.

In addition to the local kickoff mode, there will be online leagues. At EA Play, moderator Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez emphasized: “Volta brings football back to the streets.”
Here is where it’s played: The pitches couldn’t be more different. You can showcase your skills, for example, on a rooftop in Tokyo or underground in Amsterdam. This is reminiscent of the old street installments.
Will this be the new FIFA Street? The description of the gameplay sounds very much like it. The gameplay scenes also strongly resemble FIFA Street. It will be possible to:
Play the ball off the walls of the pitch
Build your play through clever tricks. Volta is expected to feature a unique flair.
However, one should not necessarily expect a “new FIFA Street”. The developers explained to Gamesradar that the Volta mode will be more realistic than FIFA Street. It is based on the normal 11v11 engine, which has been enriched with special features for small field play.
This is what you can customize: The developers describe it as the “most customizable” mode in FIFA history. In Volta, you can create both male and female characters, whose appearance you can freely customize through clothing and hairstyles. Here you are encouraged to express yourself. The special feature: On the small field, men and women can also play against each other in mixed teams. A first in the FIFA series.
At the end of the presentation, EA announced that over the coming months, more information on career mode, Pro Clubs, and of course Ultimate Team will be released. These will be announced in the form of Pitch Notes.
Data miners have leaked a new time-limited mode for Fortnite that could be coming soon. Along with this, there is speculation about a powerful shotgun.
What has been found? Data miners have discovered a loading screen that hints at a mode featuring soldiers. It is suspected that this time-limited mode (LTM) is related to D-Day, which celebrated its anniversary on June 6.
If you take a closer look at the image, there are also hints of a new weapon that a skin is holding.
This is what the data miners found about the LTM
What does the loading screen look like? Looking at the image, it is reminiscent of D-Day in 1944 when Allied forces from the USA landed in Normandy.
We are embedding an image of the loading screen here:
There have been many new details in the last few hours about Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. We have compiled some important points for you.
At EA Play 2019, about 15 minutes of gameplay were showcased, in which protagonist Cal fights through factories and forests, mowing down various members of the Empire. From the gameplay shown, a lot of details can already be derived, though some also come from interviews with the developers.
We present to you 7 interesting details from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
1.
The Force powers are limited
Those who want to use Force powers must pay attention to their Force energy bar. Only when this bar is charged can a Force power be used.
So those who want to throw around abilities continuously will ultimately be forced into melee combat to beat back some enemies. You cannot play as a pure “Force user” without using the lightsaber.
This ensures a dynamic between the Force and the lightsaber. The player will constantly be forced into melee combat, even while dealing significant damage with Force powers.
2.
Cal and his enemies can block
All characters in the game have an additional resource bar with which they can block. This might remind some gamers a bit of Sekiro. Basically, this bar only indicates how long and often enemies can still block before their defense is broken and they are defenseless.
It is therefore important to manage this resource and to strike back at the right moment.
3.
Enemies have strengths and weaknesses
While most stormtroopers can be killed by almost any type of attack, there are many special enemies who cannot be so easily outsmarted.
Enemies with melee weapons can resist being pulled by the Force, and some fighters will even easily parry strikes from the lightsaber.
Thus, it will be necessary to develop a specific tactic for most enemies and memorize what they are weak against and what can overwhelm them. Simply mashing buttons won’t lead to victory.
4.
Abilities can be improved with skill points
Throughout the game, Cal earns experience points and can distribute these to various skills. Those who wish can, for example, enhance their Force powers so that they become stronger or last longer.
Alternatively, Cal’s handling of the lightsaber can also be improved, allowing him to better hurt his enemies in melee and possibly break their block meter more quickly.
These little resting phases by the fire might remind you of certain games from the Soulsborne series…
Distributing talents is possible at resting points when Cal meditates. There, you can also save. This is reminiscent of the campfires from Dark Souls and is inspired by them.
5.
You get a spaceship to travel from planet to planet
It has also been revealed that Cal can have his own spaceship. With the Stinger Mantis, he can not only fly from planet to planet but also find rest to distribute his skill points. The appearance of the ship is also said to be customizable, so there will be various skins.
Additionally, you should be able to perform “various additional activities” on the ship, but no details have been released yet.
6. There are parkour and climbing sections like in Tomb Raider
Although the showcased gameplay clearly focuses on combat, that is far from everything that makes up the gameplay. Comparable to the “Tomb Raider” series, there will also be climbing and parkour sections where skill and quick reactions are needed.
Apart from that, there will also be some puzzles to introduce calmer moments into the game. However, these should not be overly difficult and simply provide a nice change of pace from the action experienced during battles.
The proximity to other games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider is, by the way, no coincidence:
You can unlock various cosmetic items for Cal, including saber grips and new colors for your lightsaber. You can also color your droid and thus customize it.
Some cosmetics are available for pre-order customers – but you can also unlock many in the game.
Which details do you like the most about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?
New features for Pro Clubs and Career Mode in FIFA 20 were announced during the EA Play stream, and hardly anyone noticed. The information was only visible for a short time.
This was seen in the stream: During the Reveal stream for FIFA 20, the focus was mainly on the new Street mode VOLTA and the gameplay innovations for FIFA 20. Hence, it was easy to overlook that a roadmap was shown at minute 20:55.
This roadmap was visible in the stream for a few seconds
Visible there: Dates for EA’s upcoming “Deep Dives”, i.e., dates when EA plans to talk in detail about FIFA 20 innovations.
It is surprising to see the mention of Pro Clubs and the Career Mode. Both modes have not received much focus from EA for years, and many FIFA fans desire significant innovations.
What innovations will there be? So far, no details about the innovations for the two modes are known. EA has only announced that they will talk in detail about Pro Clubs and the Career Mode of FIFA 20 at the end of July. It is certainly conceivable that we may see the biggest innovations of recent years. It is indeed unusual for EA to dedicate separate presentations to these two modes.
This is what we wish for the Career Mode: The Career Mode in FIFA is popular among many players. However, there have been hardly any innovations in several FIFA versions, making the mode less appealing for experienced players.
Therefore, the Career Mode urgently needs these features:
Introduction of youth leagues: With youth leagues in Career Mode, young players would have the opportunity to gain match experience and improve as a result. This would be significantly more realistic than before and much more practical for the manager’s daily routine.
Better transfer behavior of the CPU: Often, it is extremely difficult to sell players. The CPU clubs simply have no interest in the players on our transfer list. We therefore wish for an increased/realistic interest in the players we want to sell.
Online Career Mode: Many FIFA players are certainly familiar with it: losing matches against the computer loses its appeal over time, especially when it no longer poses a challenge even on World Class difficulty. Online matches would be the solution. NHL and NFL games set the example; in the so-called “Connected Career”, it is possible to compete against other players or friends.
Pro Clubs urgently needs new features
This is what we wish for Pro Clubs:
Gameplay for CPU teammates needs to improve
A more extensive progression system for the player
More customization options for the Pro and the Club
More modes: Multiplayer training arena, social area
More information about the opponents
This is the problem with Pro Clubs: The mode has many loyal followers and passionate fans. There are even players who only play FIFA because of the Pro Club mode. It is therefore a pity that the mode has received very few innovations from EA in recent years.
A good example of EA’s lack of attention to Pro Clubs is the positions bug in FIFA 19’s Club mode. This annoying bug was only poorly fixed 5 months after its release.
By the way, we already wished for new features for Pro Clubs even before the release of FIFA 19. Since there were none, our wishes can be perfectly transferred to FIFA 20.
Monday morning brings the rewards for Adventure Sync in Pokémon GO! This week you can snag an extra 25,000 Stardust. We’ll tell you what you need to do for that.
That’s why there’s extra dust: The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO is currently running. There you will also get extra bonuses for Adventure Sync if you have walked over 50 kilometers.
You can easily multiply this bonus and thus get even more Stardust.
Secure an extra 25,000 Stardust
What are the rewards? If you have walked 50 kilometers this week, you will receive a total of 50,000 Stardust and 15 special candies as a reward on Monday morning at 9 AM. This specifically applies to the Adventure Week and lasts only for 2 weeks.
Secure an easy extra 25,000 Stardust on Monday
How do you get the extra dust? Just use a Star Piece before you receive your reward on Monday. You will always receive it at 9 AM local time.
So if you throw a Star Piece tomorrow morning, June 10th, shortly before 9 AM, you will receive 75,000 Stardust instead of 50,000, as the item multiplies every dust by 1.5.
We recommend throwing the Star Piece around 8:45 AM to avoid any issues at 9 AM.
This also works: The bonus from the Adventure Week continues for the following week. On June 17th, there is also the chance for 75,000 Stardust, provided you walk 50 kilometers during the week beforehand.
The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO lasts until Tuesday
How long is the Adventure Week still going? While you can still use the bonus with the Stardust until next week, all other bonuses from the Adventure Week will only last until Tuesday at 10 PM.
There is chaos in Microsoft’s store before the press conference at E3 2019. A deal is causing panic there – apparently it’s buggy, but in favor of players on Xbox One. For little money, subscribers of Xbox Live Gold can, with a trick, purchase the Xbox Game Pass for years.
What is this deal? The Microsoft Store is currently offering the “Xbox Game Pass Ultimate” for $1 per month. Normally it costs $15. That’s a savings of 93%, as Microsoft announces on the site.
It is believed to be a special deal, which is set to go live this evening for E3 2019. Microsoft is apparently trying to get players to acquire the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and offers a rock-bottom price for a trial.
In fact, the $1 price should only apply to the first month.
What does the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate include? The pass includes Xbox Live Gold and the Xbox Game Pass. This means you can play online and have access to a collection of games; the Game Pass is kind of a “gaming flat rate.”
Players get 3 years of Game Pass cheaply with a trick
What is the trick? As many players report (via reddit), there seems to be a bug or at least a loophole in the offer that significantly benefits the buyers.
Anyone with an Xbox Live subscription that is still active can currently upgrade this Xbox Live subscription to “Game Pass Ultimate” for $1 for the full duration of the subscription, up to three years.
As a result, players can purchase the otherwise much more expensive Game Pass for a bargain price.
What chaos is occurring on Reddit? The deal became known a few hours ago, and buyers can hardly believe their luck. They are sharing it in a thread that is currently growing on reddit.
Something seems to be totally buggy. Players are saying it is “the best deal of all time.”
One person said he bought the offer without having a Game Pass beforehand. However, he still had Xbox Live Gold active for 1 year.
With the purchase, he got the “Game Pass” practically for free for 1 year – he only paid $1, extended his Xbox Live Gold for this month, and upgraded the entire time with the Game Pass.
Others say they managed to get up to 3 years of Game Pass for $1 by “upgrading” a “long-standing Xbox Live” subscription with this pass.
The clause seems to confirm that the offer is planned this way (via Microsoft).
Does Microsoft really respect this offer? This is still unclear at the moment. Some believe that Microsoft has made a mistake here and will correct it. They are predicting a rude awakening for the supposed lucky individuals.
Others believe that this deal is indeed intended by Microsoft. There is also a clause in the terms of use.
The question is whether they really foresaw this drastic loophole that players are now exploiting.
In any case, Microsoft will likely have to respond to this phenomenon in some form.
The mobile MMORPG Royal Blood by Gamevil will be taken offline on July 1st. Players can submit refund requests.
What is going on with Royal Blood? The developer Gamevil has announced that their mobile MMORPG Royal Blood will no longer be available starting July 1st. The official forums for the game will go offline a month later, on July 31st, to give players enough time to handle refunds.
The developers have not provided a reason for the shutdown, but low revenue figures can be assumed.
What about refunds? Gamevil has stated that all players who purchased in-game currency “Diamonds” between July 1st and August 1st are entitled to a refund.
To receive a refund, players need to send the following to the game’s support:
Screenshot of purchased Diamonds and purchase history
Hive ID
Character names
CS Code
Phone number
Store where it was purchased (Google or App)
Amount spent
And account number for the money to be transferred to
Diamonds obtained for free through events or in-game systems will not be refunded.
What’s next for Gamevil? In the meantime, Gamevil has already released a new mobile MMORPG. Since the end of May, players can download the MMORPG Talion for free in the App and Google Stores.

In The Division 2, the next update, Title Update 4, looks really good. But we still don’t know which new missions and content we are supposed to play. The update is all about improvements to the gameplay. Will we find out at E3 2019 when new content is coming?
This is the situation: Players had to wait a long time for the last update in The Division 2 and were rather disappointed:
the other changes to the game did not really make a significant impact
After the long wait of 6 weeks, there was more of a hangover feeling among the agents after Update 3. The good mood from the first weeks of The Division 2 faded away.
This is what the new update brings: But the mood seems to be improving significantly now. Because Update 4, which is on the PTS, is doing everything right so far. Some changes even excite the fans:
Will we find out at E3 how things will continue with The Division 2?
Is there a catch? Even though The Division 2 is getting better, players are wondering what exactly they should play?
Most missions have been played by people multiple times
the raid forces group play and is not for everyone
PvP still seems relatively unnecessary
The question is therefore: What new game content does Update 4 bring besides gameplay improvements?
We don’t know that at the moment. Perhaps Ubisoft has chosen the press conference at E3 2019 to present new content and game modes that will be released with Update 4 in June.
Will we find out at E3 when Episode 1 arrives and what it brings?
Maybe we also have to wait for the first DLC, which will probably take some time.
On reddit, players are primarily hoping for “new missions that continue the story” or new game modes, like what The Division 1 brought, such as a survival mode.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was not originally conceived as Star Wars. A suggestion from EA guided the game in the right direction.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order brings high expectations. Fans of Star Wars have long been waiting for a new major single-player game. Originally, Jedi: Fallen Order was not even intended to be a title in the Star Wars universe.
What was said? The magazine Gamespot spoke with Stig Asmussen from the development team and touched on the origins of the game. It turns out that Respawn did not actually want to make a game in the “Star Wars” universe.
Instead, they had just pitched another game and presented a demo that had similarities to SoulsBorne games from FromSoftware. The people at EA then said they saw something in the demo that would fit very well for a “Star Wars” game.
The gameplay mechanics existed before the story: The developers accepted the offer. This was hardly a problem in development, as most gameplay mechanics were easy to adapt and transform. There had hardly been any thoughts about the story at that point; first, the gameplay had to work.
Thus, the core mechanics could be easily transferred and adapted into Jedi: Fallen Order. The intended game was also supposed to have a strong focus on melee action, just as will now be the case with lightsaber swinging.
Players should be able to live out power fantasy: However, Jedi: Fallen Order will likely have a significantly different difficulty level than the Soulsborne games for which the developer FromSoftware is famous.
This is mainly because with Star Wars, a larger player base is addressed and not just a relatively small niche that seeks particularly tough challenges. Moreover, you step into the role of an aspiring Jedi, where players should feel powerful.
These little rest phases by the fire could remind one of certain games in the Soulsborne series…
This means, however, that Jedi: Fallen Order will not be a walk in the park. Almost every enemy has some counters against the main character Cal and requires an appropriate strategy to be defeated. Especially in combination, the enemies should act cleverly.
Are you looking forward to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? Or would you have preferred a significantly harder game?
The EA Play 2019 was not a real spectacle for many fans, especially players of Battlefield 5 were disappointed – at least if they are active on reddit. Here are their reasons.
Additionally, there was a look ahead to Chapter 5, which is set to arrive in October 2019. This will primarily focus on the conflict between the USA and Japan.
These issues are seen by players in the announcement
What are the fans complaining about? For many players, the announcements were nothing new. Just a few days ago, DICE uploaded a trailer for the new maps. Now there was only a deeper insight and the first real gameplay.

For many fans, EA Play was just a summary of all the information that had been released in the last few days about Battlefield 5.
These are the statements from players: Especially on Reddit:
Aureliocr: “They just summarized the announcements from the last few months. What a disappointing EA Play event!”
Untamed96: “I woke up at 3 AM for this ‘great’ event…”
Dr40oz: “EA Play was disappointing for Battlefield 5. It felt like they just read their last Reddit update. There was nothing new.”
The new maps, such as Marita, were introduced a few days ago
Who liked the event?
What do the dissenting voices say? Some players found the event not bad. Although there were no new announcements, it summarized what only players who follow Reddit have learned so far.
As Toomadtoplay writes: “Not everyone follows Reddit or other channels where Battlefield 5 shows their announcements. It wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t talk about what to expect next.”
How one experienced EA Play 2019 as a Battlefield 5 player strongly depends on how much information one had beforehand going into the event.
What do you think of the announcements at EA Play? Are you disappointed that there was hardly anything new?
Data miners have uncovered some interesting info about the upcoming exotic hand cannon of Season 7. It is now known what the new firearm “Lumina” can do. This hasn’t been seen before in Destiny 2.
This is what the weapon is about: As part of Season 7, Destiny 2 will be receiving a new exotic hand cannon Lumina. Bungie revealed this in a Roadmap.
Now users in the Raid-Secrets subreddit have supposedly found out what the Lumina is all about in detail. Keep in mind, this is not official info! Enjoy these details with the appropriate caution.
The Dorn
This is what the exotic hand cannon “Lumina” can do
Where does this info come from? A Reddit user stumbled upon the description of an exotic perk while sifting through the data-mining results, which can only belong to Lumina. Comparing it to the Dorn makes it clear why.
What is the Lumina supposed to do? According to data, kills with the weapon (the Lumina) leave remnants, a kind of sphere. If one absorbs a remnant, the next shot from the hip is converted into a “Noble Round,” which refills the magazine partially.
These Noble Rounds track allied targets. If a Noble Round is used on an ally (i.e., hits them), it heals the ally and temporarily increases weapon damage for you and the hit Guardian.
It goes from the Cosmodrome out into the world.
By the way: The term Noble Rounds is seen by some fans as a direct reference to Dredgen Yor, who was sometimes referred to as “The Noble Man” in the Grimoire entries of Destiny 1. Yor was once known as Rezyl Azzir – the owner of the Rose before it became the Dorn.
For comparison – here’s what the Dorn can do: The Dorn fires projectiles that penetrate their targets and inflict additional damage over time. Kills with the Dorn also leave remnants – just like with the Lumina. However, when a remnant is absorbed, it strengthens the poison effect of the Dorn.
So it is immediately clear: The Lumina essentially does the opposite of the Dorn, which fits perfectly with the lore and concept of this weapon duo.
This is why it’s so special: Should this info be confirmed, then Destiny would have the first weapon that can heal and simultaneously strengthen other Guardians. For the first time, completely support-oriented builds would be possible – for example, in combination with the Warlock’s Blessing of Grace, who could then fully function as a healer.
How fans are reacting: Many are excited about this discovery by the data miners and can hardly wait to experiment with Lumina and build healer and support setups.
Bungie has announced more RPG elements for Destiny 2 when revealing the Shadowkeep expansion, but that it comes this quickly was unexpected – some fans jokingly remarked.
How exactly does one get the Lumina? However, fans will have to wait a while to see if the data miners are right with their find – unless Bungie presents the weapon in detail.
Because the Lumina is tied to the so-called Lumina quest, which will start on July 2nd. According to Ginsor, Guardians will be sent on a long quest to find the original form of the Dorn, namely the Rose. This will then need to be purified in order to ultimately obtain the Lumina.
Xol – one of the Worm Gods
The individual steps include a wide range of different tasks, such as
completing a Nightfall with 50,000 points or more
completing the Blind Source, forging the Black Armory, or participating in the Escalation Protocol
playing Gambit
killing the Worm God Xol in the “Will of Thousands” Nightfall
as well as some additional tasks
It seems that PvP cannot be entirely avoided either. Additionally, it looks like players will, as with the Dorn quest, be able to choose in which activity they can complete certain quest steps.
What do you think of the Lumina’s perks, should they be confirmed like this? Do you see this as an interesting exotic?
In Star Wars: Battlefront 2, a huge update is waiting for you! 19 months after the game was released, various new features will come to you this month.
What is waiting for you? The developers announced a huge update, which will include, among other things, Droidekas. The rolling droids have been a long-standing wish of the community and are finally coming to the game after 1.5 years.
Along with the new droids, many other features will come to the game, such as a new map. We give you an overview.
What’s in the huge update of Battlefront 2
When will the update be released? On June 26, it will be time. From then on, you can admire the numerous new features in the game.
What’s all included? In a long post in the Battlefront forum, the developers explain the innovations in the upcoming update. We show you the highlights:
The rolling droids Droidekas are coming and reinforcing the battle droid side
The TX-130 comes as a new tank that is also good in defense
Anakin Skywalker gets a new outfit, which is known from the Clone Wars series
What players are most excited about: With the Droidekas, a true fan wish comes to the game. They can evolve into 3 different forms.
One is the wheel form, allowing for rapid movement, and the other is the turret form, where they can fire with two cannons simultaneously. This is rounded off with an energy shield that can be formed around them. This shield can block shots from enemies.
What’s next? EA also provided a glimpse into the future of Battlefront. A new planet, Felucia, is expected to be added later this year. New locations will be waiting for you there.
The planet Felucia is expected to come in 2019
In August, there will be more information about a new type of battles. These are said to differ from traditional PvP experiences, EA explains. What exactly will be coming is still unknown.
The last major update for Battlefront 2 was in March:
Square Enix revealed on a new promotional banner on which platforms their new game, Avenger’s Project, will be released. Almost all systems are included, with PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia. Only the Nintendo Switch is missing.
On which platforms will Marvel’s Avengers be released? A few days before their E3 conference, Square Enix released a huge promotional banner with the slogan “Embrace Your Powers.” Coincidentally, it also listed the platforms for which Marvel’s Avengers will be released:
PC
Xbox One
PS4
Google Stadia
This banner also means that Switch fans will unfortunately miss out on Marvel’s Avengers. Square has not given official reasons for this, but gamers suspect that it might be technically too demanding for the Switch.
However, there is still a possibility that the game will also be released on the PS5 and the next Xbox console.
What fans are speculating about: The official announcement of the platforms for Marvel’s Avengers has sparked many speculations on Reddit. There is still not much known about the game:
Will there be crossplay between platforms?
Will it be released in 2019 as a launch title for Stadia?
What will the setting be?
What are the chances that Marvel’s Avengers will be an Epic Store exclusive?
The Reddit user Mackertosh17 wrote:
I would think it’s cool if it were an open world in New York, but with character switching like in GTA V. Then you could switch between the Avengers while they handle their own business.
The likelihood of the Avenger’s Project being exclusively available on the Epic Store is quite low, as Square Enix usually releases all its games on its own SE Store as well.
No official release date for Marvel’s Avengers has been announced yet, but an Amazon leak mentioned May 15, 2020, as the launch date. Amazon quickly changed the date afterward.
When will we learn more? Concrete information about Marvel’s Avengers will be available during the E3 conference of Square Enix. It will take place at 3:00 AM in the night from June 10th to 11th.
You can follow the conference with us on the streaming channel MAX. On Tuesday, June 11th, there will be an analysis stream at 3:00 PM with Natascha from Gamestar, Irie, and YouTuber Ninotaku.
