Apex Legends is getting a new legend in Season 2. This time it is Wattson, the electrical trapsetter. At E3 2019, the developers shared more about Wattson for the first time.
Who is Wattson? It has been known for a while that the next legend will be Wattson and that she specializes in traps. Now we finally know more since Respawn Entertainment finally detailed the new character at E3 2019.
Fun Fact: Wattson and her father, an engineer, played a significant role in the construction of the Apex Arena. Therefore, all the other legends know and like Wattson.

As a developer revealed during E3, Wattson was inspired by a real engineer who had a very methodical approach to problems. This dedicated focus was intended to be transferred to the game to create a planned, tactical hero.
The Skills and Role of Wattson
What role does Wattson play? Like the toxic trapper Caustic, Wattson relies on traps and tactical, defensive support gameplay. This makes her more of a situational, defensive character and less of a fast attacker like the recently released Octane.
What are the abilities? Wattson, like all legends, has three skills: one passive, one active, and an ultimate ability. The skills can do the following:
Electric Fence (active skill): You can set up a type of electric fence. You place up to 12 individual posts to create tactical barriers. When enemies cross the fences, they are pinged for the entire team on the map. Wattson is therefore a strong team player.
Intercept Pylon (Ultimate): This device is extremely defensive and intercepts air strikes, grenades, and artillery fire. Additionally, it charges allies’ shields and speeds up the construction of the electric fences.
Passive Ability: When you use an Ultimate Accelerant with Wattson, your ultimate is instantly charged. This way, you can possibly set up many Intercept Pylons and fortify yourself optimally.
How would Wattson play? Wattson is ideal for players who know the map well and can ambush opponents optimally. With her electric fences, she can control the terrain and create special tactical conditions.
The developers want to create a character with Wattson who relies less on hyper-aggressive gameplay, which has been common in Apex Legends until now.
However, some players are already saying that Wattson is more of a hero for campers and find her less exciting than the other characters in the game.
When is Wattson coming? Wattson will be part of Season 2 of Apex Legends. Therefore, you can acquire the new legend at the start of the season.
For Apex Legends the long-awaited Season 2 was finally presented at E3 2019.
Learn here what new features are coming, what the challenges look like, and what the developers
are planning for weapons, Battle Pass, and Legends.
When does Season 2 start? Season 2 of the battle royale shooter Apex Legends was recently presented at the E3 2019 in Los Angeles. It starts on July 2, 2019, and is called “Battle Charge.” The end date is still unknown.
This is the new heroine Wattson.
The Highlights of Season 2
What’s included in Season 2: The following highlights
are in Season 2:
A new Legend named Wattson. She is a trapper who works with electricity and sets tactical traps in the form of electric fences.
A new weapon: The L-Star. An experimental weapon that seems to be a type of plasma machine gun with a large magazine. It is supposed to be very powerful and only available in care packages. Like the Kraber, it should use a special ammunition that is not otherwise available in the game. The L-Star is even said to be able to blow doors away.
Old weapons are set to be buffed. Perhaps even the terrible Mozambique? There was at least one hint in the stream…
2 new Hop-Up upgrades, according to leaks likely a Shotgun Bolt and a Sniper Stock.
Daily and weekly challenges to level up faster.
A new Battle Pass that is supposed to contain more useful stuff and fewer boring placeholders like badges. Respawn has learned from the community feedback on Season 1.
More skins, three new item types, and more crafting materials to receive items of choice.
New legendary skins for heroes and weapons: Caustic, Octane, the Spitfire, and the R-301 will become even cooler.
A Ranked Mode with 6 tiers. From Bronze at the bottom to the top-level “Apex Predator”
The L-Star
A skin for the R-301
The Prince of Darkness skin for Caustic
What else is there? At the end of the presentation for Apex Legends at E3, an image was shown in which the legends were flying by a giant eye.
This is the hint about a giant monster in the game.
According to a leak on Reddit, this could refer to so-called “Flyers”, gigantic, dragon-like flying creatures that were already present in Titanfall back in the day.
Season 2 might bring events with huge PvE opponents like these Flyers. After all, the map is littered with the bones of such titanic beings. Perhaps living examples of them will make an appearance.
At the E3 2019, first gameplay footage of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was finally revealed. Check out the fantastic gameplay in the trailer here, to get a glimpse of the game before its release.
After many years of waiting, fans of the “Star Wars” franchise finally have a single-player title again. In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you will experience the “Star Wars” universe shortly after the execution of Order 66, the commanded extermination of the Jedi.
You take on the role of a Padawan who narrowly escaped the murder of all Jedi. Now, at E3 2019, there was finally real gameplay footage of the game to see.
Here is the official gameplay trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order:

What can be seen in the trailer? The video takes place a few hours after the game’s launch. The protagonist is on a planet to help free the Wookiee rebels. The Empire has since taken control of most systems.
We get to see plenty of lightsaber action. A lot of emphasis seems to have been placed on these battles. Enemies may parry or are unimpressed by certain Force abilities, while others are quickly dealt with.
Our hero is constantly accompanied by a small droid that, similar to a cat, keeps crawling on his back.
When is the release of Jedi Fallen Order? As a release date, the developers had already indicated November 15, 2019, in advance. So it will be nearly 5 months before you can dive into the game yourself. The game is set to release for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The Elder Scrolls Online has become a real hit in recent years. In 2019, this is also reflected in impressive player numbers for the MMORPG. How many people play ESO on PS4, Xbox One, and PC?
Publishers and developers rarely talk about their player numbers or usually keep it somewhat cryptic because a game loses interest over the years. With The Elder Scrolls, it’s exactly the opposite. It has become a real hit over the years through many patches and expansions, so Zenimax is now proud of the player numbers they announce.
Accordingly, ESO alone attracted more than 2.5 million new players in the past year.
How many people have played ESO? In an interview with USGamer, it was stated that the number of all accounts that were ever active has increased to 13.5 million. The last months have been particularly successful. Especially between December 2018 and February 2019, there was a significant increase in players that even surprised the developers.
How many active players does ESO have? However, how many of the players are currently “active” remains unanswered. Such numbers are rarely disclosed by any MMORPG.
What factors are included? When it comes to player numbers, one should not forget that ESO was also offered in the Humble Bundle and can be played as part of the Xbox Game Pass. This is likely to boost the player count a bit.
However, the free trial versions are not counted – they are excluded from the numbers.

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order: The new Star Wars game is expected to show real gameplay for the first time at E3. It is said that the gameplay resembles Dark Souls and Sekiro. What is Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
FIFA 20 pre-order on PS4, PC, and Xbox One is now possible. There is the Standard Edition, the Champions Edition, and the Ultimate Early Edition. We show you the contents and prices of the versions and in which store you can get them.
Where can you pre-order? So far, there are three different versions of the new FIFA 20 that you can pre-order. This can be done in the stores for PlayStation, Xbox, and Origin on PC.

When can you pre-order FIFA 20? This is possible from now on. If you do not yet know which edition is right for you, our assessment may help you:
If you can’t wait to finally hold the new FIFA 20 in your hands, it’s worth buying the Champions or the Ultimate Edition. Although these are more expensive, they offer 3 days of early access.
The Standard Edition is suitable for the casual player who is willing to wait a bit longer and does not need any additional bonuses.
The Champions Edition is right for you if you want to play earlier, but can do without 12 Gold Packs and the untradable item.
The Ultimate Edition is worth it for you if you want to start immediately and grab all bonuses available for pre-orders.
If you have doubts about whether FIFA 20 is the right game for you, you should not pre-order and wait for the first tests and reports.
When is FIFA 20 coming out? Without early access, FIFA 20 will be playable from September 27, 2019, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
A Twitch channel has specialized in showcasing games of the worst players from League of Legends. In doing so, it has become as successful as hardly any other channel in the category.
This channel is about: On the Twitch channel “SaltyTeemo” LoL matches are shown 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All matches only feature players from the “Iron IV” division of LoL.
Iron IV is the worst rank, that players can have in LoL since the overhaul. Accordingly, viewers can continuously watch the worst players in LoL on the channel – both ranked and unranked.
How successful is the channel: According to sullygnome, SaltyTeemo has the fourth highest follower growth in the last seven days in the “League of Legends” category (as of June 8, 2:50 PM).
Over 2400 fans watched simultaneously, and on average, there are 876 viewers present. While SaltyTeemo can’t yet compete globally, it is the only one among the top 50 most-watched LoL streams without a partnership with Twitch.
What makes the channel so special?
This stream offers these features: One of the special features of the stream is that viewers can bet on the participating teams. For this, they receive the virtual currency “Mushrooms”.
Viewers earn mushrooms through other functions in the chat – such as a command with a one-hour cooldown or a registration. However, to use the chat, viewers must follow it.
They can then place their mushrooms on the team they expect to win during the first three minutes of the match using a chat function on the Twitch channel. On the website My SaltyTeemo, they can see how well their bets have been so far.
Those who bet on the right team earn mushrooms.
That’s why people watch: Looking into the chat of the channel, there are several reasons why viewers are so fascinated by SaltyTeemo:
They enjoy watching entertaining matches at a low level and have fun over mistakes.
They admire the enthusiasm that many of the players show and cheer them on.
They collect mushrooms and place bets.
They watch amazing plays, which occasionally occur even in Iron IV.

However, it is strictly prohibited to make fun of the players directly or to insult them. Even joking about assigning a gamer tag to play pranks can lead to penalties.
Before EA Play 2019, FIFA 20 was presented with a trailer featuring the brand-new street mode “Volta.” All information, the first images and screenshots, and details about the new feature can be found here. FIFA 20 can also be pre-ordered in 3 editions for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
What can be seen in the trailer? In the new announcement trailer for FIFA 20, numerous gameplay scenes can be seen, but the focus is particularly on the new street mode called “VOLTA Football.”
These are the features of the new street mode Volta: The new VOLTA mode will offer its own story as well as a VOLTA World mode, where a team must be built. Additionally, there will be online leagues and a local VOLTA kickoff mode.

More information about FIFA 20: In addition to the released trailer, FIFA 20 will also be a topic in the EA Play Stream. From 8 PM, we expect further information.
Quarantine is allegedly a PvE shooter with co-op functionality for up to four players. The information and rumors that are already known sound like an attempt by Ubisoft to venture into the zombie survival genre.
Rainbow Six:
Quarantine – Not a completely new game
This suggests Quarantine: Based on the rather sparse information so far, the description of Quarantine along with some unconfirmed rumors sounds like a kind of Left 4 Dead or World War Z.
Quarantine sounds like a classic zombie survival shooter where up to four players will face off against hordes of zombies while trying to achieve a goal.
Previously, World War Z attempted to follow in the footsteps of Left 4 Dead.
A similar mode was already present in the already popular Rainbow Six: Siege, which was released in 2015. In the Operation Outbreak in March 2018, players could already face a type of zombies in co-op. The cover image is also from the Outbreak event.
However, the mode was only available for a few weeks back then. But according to some opinions, it seemed too well-developed to receive such a short duration. This also suggests that Quarantine could be the elaboration of Outbreak.

Will this be the continuation of Siege? Quarantine will not replace Rainbow Six: Siege. Ubisoft has already confirmed that Siege is too successful to receive a successor. However, Quarantine is based on PvE gameplay anyway.
So it is very likely that Ubisoft wants to attract players to the Rainbow Six franchise with Quarantine, who find Siege too PvP-focused and prefer to play quietly with friends.
We will probably learn more about Quarantine only at Ubisoft’s press conference at E3. There are also more highlights waiting:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is now Fortbyte #51. To do this, you need the emote “Waddle”, with which you should cross the street in front of Shali’s banana stand.
Where is Fortbyte 51? For this Fortbyte, you should travel to the Neo Tilted area. There, the popular banana Shali has a stand.
Collect Fortbyte Number 51 by doing the Waddle in front of Shali’s banana stand
Here’s how you can collect the Fortbyte: As a prerequisite for collecting this Fortbyte, you must have reached a certain level in the Battle Pass. This unlocks the emote “Waddle” that you need to collect it. The emote is available at level 31 in the current Battle Pass of Season 9 in Fortnite.
You can find Shali’s banana stand in grid cell D6 in Fortnite. In the following map, you can see where you should look.
Video Guide: To ensure you find the Fortbyte on the Fortnite map, we will embed a YouTube video here. Follow this guide to safely find the byte.

The Swedish YouTuber Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, participated in the tournament Friday Fortnite on Friday, despite apparently having little knowledge of Fortnite. He played three rounds together with Twitch star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, which will probably go down in history.
Keemstar always invites the “biggest names” he can get for Friday Fortnite to reach as many viewers as possible. The streamers and YouTubers broadcast the showcase battle on their own channels.

The biggest content creators for Fortnite in a tournament. Viewer records are being shattered.
This “special” duo consisted of PewDiePie and Ninja. Ninja is considered a crack in Fortnite – PewDiePie is not. But both are the biggest individuals on their platforms: PewDiePie on YouTube, Ninja on Twitch.
Just before the start of the tournament, DrDisRespect somehow snuck into the lineup and took the place of another player. For stars like the Doctor, it seems Keemstar likes to make exceptions.
The rules turn out to be flexible.

It all started with Ceeday kicking Ninja at the start. He was visibly upset.
This is how the tournament went for PewDiePie: The first match was aimed at “absolute viewer records” and likely achieved them.
On one side, PewDiePie and Ninja played – on the other stood NoahsNoah and Ceeday, who is also hugely successful on YouTube.
PewDiePie and Ninja managed to win this duel in two matches. The 4 players are then in a squad, so they cannot harm each other, but each hunts for their own kills.
In the next round against DrDisrespect and Arkhram, Ninja and PewDiePie also won, who often teased each other during the stream. The nickname “Ninya” generated by PewDiePie will likely stick.
Although Ninja and PewDiePie managed to prevail in the first two rounds, it was then over in round 3 against TSM Myth and Liquid Poach, two top Fortnite players. PewDiePie and Ninja lost and had to continue in the “Loser Bracket”.
Shortly after midnight, PewDiePie leaves the tournament
However, PewDiePie then left the tournament because it was apparently too late for him as a European.
Ninja continued with his friend TimTheTatman as a substitute. This was announced at 0:22. However, Ninja and TimTheTatman were ultimately eliminated by the duo of Ghost Kamo and ISSA.
The tournament ran well into the night from our perspective. At 4:42 AM, Keemstar announced the winners on Twitter. Ultimately, two players from FaZe, FaZe Tilt and FaZe Jarvis, won the tournament.
As winners of the tournament, they receive a prize of $10,000 – another $10,000 was awarded to a randomly selected viewer.
The YouTuber Pewdiepie. He was the highlight of the event this time.
When was Twitch Down? During the peak of the evening around 11 PM, both Ninja and KeemStar were sure that they were responsible for a Twitch outage.

In fact, outages at Twitch were reported around 10:55 PM on Friday evening our time. This could also have been contributed to by the gathering of PewDiePie, Ninja, and Ceeday, even though PewDiePie does not stream on Twitch himself.
But KeemStar and Ninja at least attribute the outage to themselves. Ninja reached 284,320 viewers at the peak, and throughout the evening, he had 1,953,799 unique viewers. Ninja’s stream lasted 10:55 hours (via twitter).

This was special: Many liked the chemistry between Ninja and PewDiePie. Ninja apparently felt a spiritual connection with PewDiePie. Ninja said that he often streams for 8 hours, then says one single wrong thing, and that will be dwelled upon forever.
However, PewDiePie cheerfully replied: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
After all, PewDiePie is known for repeatedly clashing with controversial actions and statements.
What’s next? Another Friday Fortnite is expected to take place next week. What will happen after that with the showcase battle is still unclear.
This current tournament only came together under bizarre circumstances. According to Keemstar, Epic should hire him anyway and provide a prize pool of $1 million, because he has proven what fantastic tournaments he can organize. Currently, Keemstar is only allowed to offer a prize pool of $20,000.
Next weekend, a similar spectacle is on the agenda with the “Pro-Am” tournament, but this time officially organized by Epic. It’s about $3 million in prize money for a good cause:
The MMORPG Black Desert is getting a new class. This was announced at an event in South Korea. The class “Shai” is designed to be cute, will be a supporter, and uses a boomerang. It is said to significantly differ from the previous classes.
Where was the class introduced? The Shai is the next new playable race and class in Black Desert. It was introduced at the “Heidel Festa” by Pearl Abyss. However, everything is in Korean. We at MeinMMO refer to two English-speaking sources reporting on the event.
Class is expected very soon
What makes it special: Normally, we players in Europe have to wait a long time for new classes. But not for the “Shai”:
In South Korea, players will be able to create a Shai starting June 12 – but they cannot play it yet. It should be playable from June 19.
In North America, Europe, Japan, and Russia, players will be allowed to create it from June 19 – significantly earlier than usual. Perhaps it will be available to us as early as June 26.
Shai is a support class with the boomerang “Florang” and a small sphere “Viclari.” The boomerang is said to be about as big as she is. With the boomerang, the Shai can attack or dodge in Black Desert.
She supports her group with buffs, healing, and shields – additionally, she is mobile and can slide in and out of fights.
What is special about the Shai? Three peculiarities have already been noted that are not directly related to her style of play:
It is said that when she is created, she already has a master level in alchemy and gathering.
She will also have unique crafting recipes for “the campfire”, a new social object in Black Desert.
Shai will also get three types of donkeys with special skills that only Shai can use. For example, there is a “Wander Mode” that allows her to explore the world of Black Desert in a calmer, more relaxed manner.
Boomerang Lady tends to tantrums
These are Shai’s skills in Black Desert:
One, Two, Three – Shai can throw her boomerang up to three times, and with each throw, she calls out a number. Those hit by the boomerang will be knocked back.
Tantrum – here Shai gets angry and throws her boomerang, which can be thrown further.
Found You – Shai runs joyfully and brings light to the surroundings. With this, she can reveal hidden things – monsters rush towards her.
Come Here and Hide – Shai creates a zone around herself. Everyone in this zone will be protected from attacks for a few seconds. However, Shai must ensure that no enemies are in the zone when she casts Come Here and Hide.
Play Dead – Shai pretends to be dead to trick friends and other adventurers. However, this will not work against monsters, it is said.
What is special? The interesting thing here is that the Shai is apparently not a pure combat class but is moving towards “crafting”/”social”. Pearl Abyss has announced that more classes should also differ significantly from the previous ones.
Next, they are likely planning Dwarves and Rhutums as new classes/races for Black Desert. A new class is expected every year.
Many contents from WoW Classic currently come from streamers. This does not sit well with some fans of the MMORPG at all. When a Twitch streamer like Sodapoppin makes controversial statements, it can lead to fierce disputes.
Which streamer is being talked about? The discussion is about the streamer sodapoppin. Sodapoppin is one of the largest WoW streamers in the world and even attracted more concurrent viewers last week than the WoW legend Asmongold (via sullygnome, as of June 8 at 10:40 AM).
Sodapoppin ranks 15th among the Twitch streamers with the most followers in the world, giving him considerable influence. As a result, his statements can make significant waves when he makes them in front of tens of thousands of viewers.
This annoys the WoW Classic Community
What did Sodapoppin say? It specifically concerns a statement about streamer privileges and sodapoppin’s view of social justice in WoW Classic. In one of his streams, he talks about wanting to play WoW like an “anonymous player.”
He wishes that players would not distinguish between streamers and non-streamers but just play. He does not want any advantages or disadvantages just because he shows his game on Twitch.
He apparently feels that players are specifically waiting to ambush and hunt him. He wants to put a stop to that.
Sodapoppin is therefore taking a step further and explained his idea of a kind of “Social DKP.”

This is the idea: He intends to punish stream-snipers, meaning players who specifically hunt streamers. Since every player knows where the streamer is due to streaming, they can be tracked more easily and eliminated in PvP.
Sodapoppin now intends to keep a blacklist. Anyone who specifically hunts streamers will have their name recorded by the biggest guilds of their faction. They will be excluded from all important activities in the game: raids, dungeons, and world events.
As a result, the sniper will find it impossible to acquire the best gear, while streamers like sodapoppin can equip themselves to defend against the snipers.

How Classic fans are reacting: This statement has met with extreme incomprehension among many fans and has caused anger. The community is angry that streamers take it upon themselves to determine how others play and have fun in Classic.
Over the days, this has escalated to the point that in a now widely read and highly rated thread on reddit, a counter-idea has emerged:
Down with Soda and down with anyone who believes they should dictate who can have fun in the game. […]
I propose a super-guild, “The Blacklist,” with the explicit purpose of mastering game content as efficiently as possible. The goal is to hunt down those who exploit their streamer privileges to dictate what others are allowed to do. Everyone is welcome, and those we put on the list shall be hunted mercilessly.
Players want to unite against the idea.
The dissatisfaction with streamers has been evident in the community for some time. Statements like those from sodapoppin seem to only cause more unrest. However, some other streamers continue to provide good entertainment for the Classic fans:
There is news regarding the next special research in Pokémon GO! A data miner has found various details suggesting a soon release of Jirachi.
What was found? The data miner Chrales found the texts that Professor Willow says during the special research in the latest update of Pokémon GO.
In it, Willow also directly mentions Jirachi. He lets you research, so he ultimately concludes that the Pokémon you are looking for can only be Jirachi.
Jirachi in Pokémon GO – When will it happen?
The following statements were found: Professor Willow first mentions the mysterious Pokémon in the following passage: “That’s it! The pure melody created by your musical Pokémon has awakened the Steel and Psychic Pokémon Jirachi!”
This is the last part of the special research in which Jirachi is mentioned. Source: Chrales
In the following passages, Willow repeatedly mentions Jirachi. So we have confirmation that Jirachi will be the mysterious Pokémon from the special research of the GO Fest.
How certain is this? Of course, it must be said that these are initially findings from data miners. Niantic itself has not confirmed anything yet.
Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Niantic will completely change the special research for the GO Fest and introduce another Pokémon.
What else was found? In addition to the text of the special research regarding Jirachi, the corresponding quests were also found. Much revolves around the habitats that have been set up there.
These tasks were found by the data miner for the GO Fest. Source: Chrales
Examples of tasks include: “Take a photo of Trasla in the Fairy Garden” or “Take a photo of Hippopotas in the sandy desert”
Will Jirachi also come to Germany? The findings now revolve around the GO Fest in Chicago, which starts later this month.
However, one can certainly suspect that players from the Dortmund GO Fest will have the chance for special research with Jirachi.
Many players also assume that Jirachi will be available to catch for all players worldwide after all three GO Fests, starting in mid-August. This was also the case last year with Celebi. It was only available in Chicago at first, and a few days later the whole world received its own special research.
What do you think? Will Jirachi also come to Germany?
In a livestream, Bungie introduced the next chapter of Destiny 2. In Shadowkeep, we return to the Moon and the Black Garden with Eris Morn. Who Eris Morn is and what the Moon and the Black Garden are about, we summarize here for you.
This is the new expansion: In the livestream on June 6, Bungie presented the new expansion to Destiny 2. Shadowkeep brings you to the Moon and the Black Garden. You will be accompanied by Eris Morn, who is plagued by haunting visions of terrible nightmares.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand anything right now. For Destiny 1 veterans and Destiny 2 newcomers, we are happy to refresh what Eris Morn, the Moon, and the Black Garden are all about.
Destiny 1 players may remember the nice lady with the glowing orb. Eris Morn came with the DLC The Dark Below to Destiny 1. In the English trailer for the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep, Eris actually refers to The Dark Below.
Eris was part of the first fireteam that confronted the Hive God Crota on the Moon in the Hellmouth. Unfortunately, she was also the only survivor. Eriana-3, Sai Mota, Omar Agah, Vell Tarlowe, and Toland, who annoys Destiny 2 players in the Ascendant challenges, had to succumb to the Hive one by one.
Crota, the Son of Oryx
Eris survived in the deep tunnels by using the Hive’s own tactics against them. Even though her Ghost lost its light and was subsequently destroyed, Eris managed to survive in the tunnels beneath the Fortress for years. In battle, she lost her eyes but replaced them with the eyes of one of her Hive enemies, complete with a third eye.
She learned so much from her enemies that she can even use some of their powers and magic.
Eris Morn and her three eyes
After years in the darkness, she was able to escape and returned to the Tower. There, she worked for Ikora as one of her hidden spies but also conspired with the Awoken Queen Mara Sov in the Reef.
According to the developers, Eris Morn is not a character like Zavala or Ikora. She possesses powerful abilities that others might see as evil. However, Eris only uses them to protect humanity.

In Destiny 2, many Guardians enjoyed staying on the Moon. That’s where the Hive were causing havoc.
These disgusting enemies completely infested our Earth satellite. However, it wasn’t enough for the Hive to take over the Moon. They also began to dig, causing parts of the Moon’s crust to break off and float in orbit.
While excavating, the Hive encountered the Hellmouth, where the Temple of Crota is located. In the raid Crota’s End, the Guardians had to confront the Son of Oryx, and also in the Destiny 2 expansion Shadowkeep, we seem to encounter the Hive God again. He appears to be one of the nightmares that our Guardians must overcome.
Crota in the ViDoc for Shadowkeep
As Bungie announced in the livestream, the area of the Moon in Shadowkeep will be twice as large as in Destiny 1.
On the Moon, we also met the Exo Stranger in Destiny 1, who alerted us to the immediate threat posed by the Vex and the Black Garden.
The Black Garden is a realm isolated from space and time, inhabited by the Vex. It houses the Black Heart, a unit that is closely connected to the Darkness. The Exo Stranger explained to us that we can heal the Traveler by destroying the Heart at the center of the Black Garden.
The Black Garden
The Guardians then traveled to the Reef to ask the Awoken for help in finding the Black Garden. Reluctantly, Uldren Sov, who himself was possessed by the Garden, as we now know from Destiny 2 lore, gave us the coordinates to the Garden. Prince Uldren is responsible for the death of Cayde-6 in the Forsaken expansion.
In the last mission of the base game of Destiny 1, the Guardians had to confront the Vex and defeat the three Vex ghosts that guarded the Heart. Afterwards, they were also celebrated at the Tower by the Speaker.

In Shadowkeep, players will be able to return to the Black Garden once again. This time, the Garden is said to be part of the new raid that will be added with the new expansion for Destiny 2.
For more information on Shadowkeep, we have this for you:
After Fallout 76 has been on the market for nearly 7 months, Bethesda has finally provided an answer to the question about the canvas bags. What initially caused a stir seems to be slowly clarifying.
This is the issue: In the Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76, the so-called “Power Armor Edition”, a nice canvas bag was supposed to be included. However, this did not arrive for the buyers of the edition.
Instead, Bethesda sent out bags made of much cheaper nylon. After the already difficult launch of Fallout 76, which brought a lot of hate and review-bombing, this only further fueled the bad mood.
Now, nearly 7 months after the release of Fallout 76 in November 2018, there is new news.
Fans also jumped on the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76 – it quickly sold out.
The issue with the canvas bags
Why did this upset so many people? The fact that only cheap nylon arrived instead of expensive canvas was not the only shocking aspect of this situation. Bethesda’s response afterwards and around the whole matter caused even more turmoil:
Finally, Bethesda requested more time to be able to produce the requested bags, but then kept silent for a long time.
As an original reason, Bethesda even officially stated that canvas was simply too expensive. In summary, many fans see the whole situation as very unfortunate and poorly handled.
This is Bethesda’s response: In December 2018, Bethesda announced that there would be canvas bags for buyers. Owners of the Collector’s Edition should contact support to claim their bag.
Now Bethesda has spoken out again. In a tweet, it states that the bags are finally here and will be shipped.

When will the bags arrive? There is still no specific date for the delivery. The tweet simply states that the shipping of the bags will begin “next week”, starting from June 10, 2019. Those who have submitted a ticket should receive a response once a date is set.
The fact that not everything went well with Fallout 76 is even acknowledged by the director:
Rogues have once again become the greatest threat in Hearthstone . If played correctly, they can hardly be stopped right now.
A few days ago, Blizzard released the patch “Revenge of the Mechs” in Hearthstone, which brought a total of 18 buffs to class cards. While many buffs were rather minor and had little impact, the Rogue stands out in particular. Its buff was so powerful that the “Pogo Rogue” can effortlessly dominate almost every matchup. The culprit is the Robohopser, an initially very weak minion with huge potential.
What is the Robohopser? The Robohopser is a 1/1 minion for 1 mana and is also a mech. However, it has the battle cry: It gains +2/+2 for each other Robohopser you have played in this game.
The trick is to get as many copies of the Robohopser into the deck as possible or to repeatedly return existing Robohopsers back to hand. This way, the little Robohopser can quickly become a significant threat of 13/13, 15/15, or even higher – and for only 1 mana.
YouTuber shows the potential: The well-known YouTuber Disguised Toast simply grabbed a Robohopser deck and played a few rounds to demonstrate the superiority of this deck. Although he is mercilessly behind in many matches at the beginning, he manages to make a quick comeback every time. The Robohopser becomes so strong that it can hardly be removed.

Which cards are involved? For the combo with the Robohopser to work, a few more cards are naturally needed. Helpful are, for example, the Spirit of the Shark, which doubles battle cries (thus making the strength of the Robohopsers even greater), as well as Togwaggle’s Scheme to bring the Robohopser into the deck multiple times. With the Nymph of the Witching Woods, the Robohopser can be specifically drawn from the deck, and Barista Mill can duplicate all these effects again.
How to play it yourself: If you want to try out a deck with the Robohopser yourself, just use the following deck code. Copy it and paste it into Hearthstone, and the game will automatically assemble the corresponding deck for you:
What do you think of this change to the Rogue? Has the deck gone out of control, and should Blizzard make some adjustments? Or is this all as it should be?
Before the E3 2019 there is a major leak at the publisher Bandai Namco. Among them is the game from From Software, which is being worked on by the author of “Game of Thrones,” George R.R. Martin. Elden Ring will be a fantasy action RPG heavily influenced by Dark Souls.
How was it leaked? The publisher Bandai Namco had a security flaw on their website. This allowed people to access a URL that revealed information and screenshots about games from Bandai Namco.
This led to a massive E3 leak that unveiled three new games.
This link spread across social media. The site Gematsu received this leak and processed it. Now it has blown up overnight while we in Germany peacefully slumbered towards the E3 2019.
This game has been talked about the most: The new “From Software” game is called Elden Ring. It is a fantasy action-adventure whose world was created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, who is behind the “Dark Souls” series.
He was supported by George R.R. Martin, the author of “A Song of Ice and Fire,” the novel series behind the wildly popular TV series “Game of Thrones.”
The leak emphasizes the roles of George R.R. Martin and Hidetaka Miyazaki and what an impressive work they have to show:
Martin with the 5 novels of “A Song of Ice and Fire” and some TV productions.
This is probably the logo of Eden
There is no further information about the game. It is said to be the largest game from From Software to date and that “danger” lurks around every corner of the world. There should also be a lot to explore.
There are no screenshots or in-game material yet, only the logo is known.
Elden Ring is set to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Tales of Arise
What kind of game is this? “Tales of Arise” is the next chapter in the “Tales of” series. The series of fantasy RPGs has been running since 1995 and now has 16 parts.
Tales of Arise is said to offer “impressive graphics” and be a “dynamic action RPG” with a combat system, as Bandai Namco states.
The game will introduce new characters and is set to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
There are some screenshots of the game in the leak. The title image is also from Tales of Arise.
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
The game “Ni no Kuni: The Curse of the White Queen” was released in 2011 in Japan and in 2013 in the USA and Europe. It was a title for the PlayStation 3.
The leak now states two things:
A version without the “Remastered” label is said to be coming for the Nintendo Switch
while a remastered version is apparently set to be released for PS4 and PC and will “offer improved graphics and performance”
Players should return to the world of Ni no Kuni and accompany Oliver on an adventure, the leak continues.
In the lead-up to E3 2019, several leaks are expected. This time, it seems one of the “highlights,” Elden Ring, got hit. It was still considered “the big unknown” until yesterday, and it was only rumored whether George R.R. Martin would actually be involved. Now we know for sure.
Just yesterday, the game “Bleeding Edge” was revealed to the public.
Today, on the night of June 8th, the Vendor Reset took place in The Division 2.These are the best deals.
