The Twitch streamer CDawg hosted a charity stream with his fellow streamers where they had to pedal on bicycles. Together, they were able to raise a considerable amount with the community.
What kind of charity stream is this? For the 5th consecutive year, the Twitch streamer Connor CDawg Colquhoun teamed up with a group to cycle and raise donations for a good cause. The donations go to the Immune Deficiency Foundation, which supports people with immune deficiencies.
This year, the YouTuber Chris Broad joined CDawg to pedal with him for 15 days. Other guests also stopped by at different parts of the stream. Together, they rode through Japan. The Twitch stream was, of course, always on, allowing the community to donate actively.
The donation campaign was inspired by CDawg’s streaming colleague Ironmouse. The VTuber suffers from an immune deficiency and uses her reach repeatedly to raise awareness and encourage donations. In the past, she has donated substantial amounts herself, but CDawg’s Cyclethon certainly brings even more reach to be used for a good cause.

How much money was raised? The final destination of this year’s Cyclethon was a restaurant in Japan. Here, the participants gathered, celebrated by the present audience, and also announced the final amount: just over 1,470,000 dollars, which translates to approximately 1,250,058 euros.
CDawg also thanked for the successful charity stream on X:

Thus, CDawg narrowly missed the set goal of 1.5 million dollars but was able to set a new record for his charity campaign. When adding up all his donation earnings from past Cyclethons with this year’s, the total exceeds 5 million dollars.
Other content creators also regularly host charity streams on Twitch. This includes English-speaking streamers and YouTubers who even went to Wembley Stadium for a charity football match against each other. They achieved an impressive sum of over 7 million euros: 90,000 viewers watch 34 content creators play football and donate over 7 million euros

Oshi no Ko Season 4: Everything Important at a Glance
Release: When does Season 4 air?
On X, it was revealed that the fourth season will be the last season of the anime. The announcement was made along with the release of the last episode of Season 3. However, it is still unknown when Season 4 will start.
There was almost a year between the first two seasons, and around 15 months between Season 2 and 3. Accordingly, we can assume that Oshi no Ko Season 4 will air in the second quarter of 2027 if the pace is maintained. So expect around May 2027.

Oshi no Ko – the trailer for the 3rd season of the dark revenge anime
The last episode of Season 3 of the anime Oshi no Ko aired on March 25, 2026, on Crunchyroll. Here, there was the Mainstay, Scandal, and Movie Arc. In total, the season consisted of 11 episodes. Season 2 aired from July to October 2024 and included 13 episodes, while Season 1 aired from April to June 2023 and had 11 episodes.
Oshi no Ko provides insight into the fictional, vibrant idol world and combines it with a dark mystery thriller. The sixteen-year-old pop star Ai Hoshino gives birth to twins behind the scenes. Shortly after the birth, she is murdered by a obsessed stalker.
What she did not know until then: The twins are the reincarnation of one of her fans and the doctor who delivered her twins. In their teenage years, the two now seek revenge and venture into the world full of stars.

A streamer is at the center of a cheating debate after a 1v1 against Twitch’s golden boy. Numerous shooter fans, including well-known content creators for Rainbow Six: Siege, are convinced: he is cheating.
What is the debate about? Twitch streamer Ahmad “mooda” Hallal is accused by numerous shooter fans on social media of cheating during a 1v1 against “Jynxzi” – which he won – in Rainbow Six: Siege.
Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart is something of a golden boy on Twitch and, with over 90,000 active subs and an average of over 45,000 viewers, he is one of the largest streamers on the platform. He has spent thousands of hours in Rainbow Six: Siege and reached the highest ranks there. Recently, he has also increasingly played other games like Apex Legends and Counter-Strike 2.

Rainbow Six Siege X – Trailer shows the biggest update to the Ubisoft shooter
At the time of the 1v1, mooda supposedly had just about 28 hours in Rainbow Six: Siege. He is primarily known for Valorant and is distinguished by his above-average aim. This eventually led to his Twitch channel recording steady growth since 2024. In 2025, he had an average of over 4,700 viewers.
When mooda was confronted with the cheating accusations during the stream, he denied everything and responded with the words: “Your game is ez af!”
Shooter fans are convinced something is off with mooda
How the discussion evolved: Many users shared clips of scenes that are supposed to prove that mooda is cheating. There were situations where he aimed through walls at Jynxzi before he was visible, or even shot through walls at his opponent.
But that was just the beginning of the actual discussion.
The topic grew and many viewers, as well as other content creators, entered the discussion. In the following days, more clips of suspicious gaming situations outside the 1v1 against Jynxzi were posted. Additionally, shooter fans presented various “evidences” that were supposed to further link mooda with the cheating accusations. A thread on Reddit summarizes many findings.
Over days, a significant collection of indications supporting the accusations came to light:
He allegedly tried to buy cheats for Valorant in 2021.
Screenshots are supposed to show that he even sold cheats in the past under the pseudonym “ChaosCheats.”
He wanted to buy spoofers to prevent hardware bans.
Moreover, his Steam account has already received a VAC ban, and he is also said to have been banned for cheating in Apex Legends and Rust.
The various accounts on the cheat websites were connected to mooda through a Discord user account.
Streamer admits to cheating but downplays accusations – still gets banned
The truth behind the accusations: mooda has repeatedly responded to the accusations and partly admitted to cheating in the past.
Initially, he said that the last time he cheated was six months ago offstream in Rust. He swore on the Quran that he had never cheated while streaming in Rainbow Six: Siege and other games where he is competitively good, and that he would never do so, as he feeds his family with streaming (via X).
In a conversation with Twitch streamer ohnePixel, he later added that as a teenager he also cheated in Roblox and Minecraft (via X).
While the discussion on social media was still raging, mooda was permanently banned by Ubisoft in Rainbow Six: Siege (via X). However, this was probably not a ban for cheating. The reason given was a “link to a banned account,” which means that Ubisoft connected him with another account that was banned in the past.
This is the current status: After the topic boiled over for nearly 2 weeks, even Jynxzi was no longer sure whether mooda was playing honestly or cheating. For a stream on Monday, April 20, 2026, Jynxzi organized a PC check by experts to either catch mooda cheating or prove his innocence.
Among the experts was former e-sports coach Eric “Fettuccine” Tong, who won the Manchester Major of Rainbow Six Siege in 2024 with the team “Beastcoast.”
The experts checked not only if cheats were currently installed on the PC but also if mooda had attempted to cover his tracks. They emphasized during the stream that they would have seen if he had removed and deleted a connected device on which cheats were installed.
During the PC check, it was revealed that mooda definitely had not used cheats on the PC in the past 2 months.
Nonetheless, mooda does not seem entirely innocent. Although he continues to insist that he has never cheated during a stream, he has already played hundreds of hours of Rainbow Six: Siege in the past and also installed cheats for the shooter in 2019. For example, he got himself caught by saying that it was important to him not to be permanently banned from a game where he had cheated 7 years ago.
“Fett,” who thoroughly checked the streamer’s PC, is convinced that mooda was banned in Rainbow Six Siege because he cheated 7 years ago.
Season 3 of Frieren already has a date and follows after the slightly shorter Season 2 – but with a time gap. All information about the upcoming season of the anime can be found on MeinMMO.
Update on April 21, 2026: We have structurally adjusted the article.
Frieren Season 3: Everything Important at a Glance
Release: When does Season 3 premiere?
On X it was revealed that Season 3 of Frieren will premiere in October 2027. If it goes the same way as every previous season, Frieren will likely be released within the first two weeks of October.
Season 3 is expected to have more episodes than Season 2. It can also be assumed that there will be a weekly release schedule again. If Season 3 follows the 28 episodes of Season 1, it could even be that Frieren Season 3 spans over 2 cours (seasons).

Freezing: Trailer for Season 2 of the Anime Shows Relaxed Travels
The last episode of Season 2 of Frieren aired on March 27, 2026. While Season 1 had 28 episodes, Season 2 only had 10 episodes. Therefore, fans are probably itching for the somewhat larger third season to follow. The first season aired from September 2023 to March 2024, and the second season from January to March 2026.
In Frieren, we accompany a very old elf sorceress who defeated the Demon King with her previous party. However, during the journey, she showed little interest in her human companions and deeply regrets not getting to know them better before their deaths.
Therefore, she sets out on a journey again, taking new companions with her to make up for her missed experiences. The ultimate goal is Aureole, a place in the End region where one can speak with the dead.
The special thing about Frieren is that all character and place names are in German, even in the Japanese original.

Not all characters from the comics make it into the Amazon series of The Boys. To tell a different story, some elements have to be left out. This includes an important member of the Seven, who was replaced in Season 1.
Which member is it? The Seven are like the Justice League or the Avengers. They are the most well-known and important superhero team in the world of The Boys. Although their character differs between the series and the comics, the series stays quite accurate to the members:
Homelander
Queen Maeve
The Deep
A-Train
Black Noir
Starlight
Only one member is a complete invention in Season 1: Translucent. The first mission of Hughie with Butcher doesn’t exist in the comics. He replaces the character Jack from Jupiter. When you look at him closely, you can also see why.
Start video
The Boys shows in the final trailer for Season 5 how far Homelander has come
Even next to The Deep a loser
Who is Jack from Jupiter? Like all members of the Seven in the comics by Garth Ennis, Jack from Jupiter was created from the DNA of Stormfront, who is very different in the comics. He is a super with orange skin (fitting for Jupiter), who only wears a cape, shoes, and underwear. He also has no hair on his body.
Jack from Jupiter is a parody of the Martian Manhunter from the DC universe, and Vought also markets him as an alien from another world. However, this makes him not as marketable as other members of the Seven, which is why he often complains. Additionally, he regularly expresses racist or homophobic views.
As a super, he can fly and has somewhat more strength than normal humans, but not as much as Homelander, comic-Butcher, or characters like The Deep. His unique feature is a kind of force field. When he says Carpo, he is surrounded by a red light that makes him invulnerable. This is an element of the DC character Shazam, who transforms whenever he says Shazam.
Aside from that, Jack From Jupiter is quite a joke. Without his force field, even someone like The Deep can easily slap him away, and even Butcher was strong enough to kill him after thinking Jack had killed his dog (like with most atrocities, it was actually Black Noir).
Here you see a comparison between Jack from Jupiter and the Martian Manhunter:
On the left is Jack from Jupiter from The Boys: Diabolical, on the right is the Martian Manhunter from Justice League
Not down-to-earth enough for the series
Is Jack from Jupiter in the Amazon series? In the series, his place in Season 1 is taken by the new character Translucent. He actually has nothing in common with Jack from Jupiter, except that his skin is impervious. Otherwise, he is a super who can turn invisible, but only his skin, which is why he has to be naked to remain unseen. Translucent is the first super that Hughie deals with Butcher.
In fact, there is a character in the series who looks quite similar to Jack from Jupiter. In Season 2, Hughie and Lamplighter watch porn, and one features a bald character with a red cape (Source: Moviepilot).
Otherwise, you can also see Jack from Jupiter in the animated series The Boys: Diabolical, which is not canonical within the TV series except for Episode 8, so it only takes place in an alternative universe.
Why was Jack from Jupiter replaced? On this topic, Eric Kripke, the showrunner of the series, commented in a Reddit AMA from 2019. When asked why Jack from Jupiter was replaced, Kripke replied:
We are trying to make the series as realistic as possible – and the public is told that people were suddenly and spontaneously born with these powers. (This is of course not the truth, but Vought sells the public a kind of mutant mythology.) To say that one of their heroes is an alien would destroy this myth. Jack always seemed too fantastic to us for the world we wanted to create.
His potential marketability would be the issue in the series. While Homelander and Co. are seen as better people in the public eye, an alien wouldn’t fit into this narrative. That’s why there are also no gods like Thor in the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 – Trailer for the upcoming Arc “The Culling Game”
The last episode of Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen aired on March 27, 2026. Seasons 1 and 2 had 24 and 23 episodes, respectively, while Season 3 had only 12 episodes. The first season aired from October 2020 to March 2021, and Season 2 from July to December 2023. There was a gap of about 2 years in between.
For Season 3, more time was taken. The episodes aired from January to March 2026, again with a waiting time of about 2 years.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, the story revolves around student Yuji Itadori. He joins an organization of Jujutsu Sorcerers after swallowing a finger of Sukuna. This is the King of Curses, who is extremely dangerous.
Since this incident, Yuji acts as a vessel for Sukuna. To prevent Sukuna’s full resurrection and also to protect humanity, the Jujutsu Sorcerers lend their assistance. They fight manifestations of human emotions known as curses.

In the Imperium of Mankind from Warhammer40,000, there is a group of deadly tech nerds whose order is responsible for some of the strongest weapons and war machines of the Imperium. In Dawn of War 4, you will be able to play them right at release, and an initial CGI trailer now shows what to expect.
What is this order? These tech nerds belong to the so-called Adeptus Mechanicus. This group is – alongside Space Marines, Orks, and Necrons – one of the four playable factions in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4, the latest installment in the RTS series that has existed since 2004.
In a cinematic trailer, the developers of Dawn of War 4 now showcase the Adeptus Mechanicus in action. During this, they appropriately encounter some Necrons – an alien species of machine beings.
Here you can see the cinematic trailer for the Adeptus Mechanicus in Dawn of War 4:

Tech Fanatics with Deadly War Machines
What can the Adeptus Mechanicus actually do? It consists of the best engineers and scientists of the Imperium and is one of its 6 most dangerous organizations. This is no surprise: after all, the Adeptus Mechanicus holds a monopoly on all knowledge that exists within the Imperium.
The Adeptus Mechanicus manufactures some of the most powerful weapons of the Imperium. These include the Titans – huge, heavily armored walkers with great firepower. The order also possesses an army of augmented cyborg soldiers called Skitarii, equipped with ray weapons.
The Tech-Priests themselves (as the followers of the Adeptus Mechanicus are actually called) are also not harmless civilians, but true killing machines. Over the years, they replace many of their own body parts with mechanical components or even give themselves several new limbs.
Also seen in the trailer are so-called Servo-Skulls – floating skulls with built-in scanners and sensors. These are already known from the first Dawn of War, where they were used as scouts to scout the map. Some real Tech-Priests have even built a functioning Servo-Skull, although no real human skull was used in the process.
Many fear that AI will replace their jobs. However, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang envisions a different scenario: The technology will not make you redundant, but will keep you busier than ever before.
What forecast does the Nvidia CEO give? At a panel discussion at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Jensen Huang describes a future where AI agents do not serve as substitutes for humans, but rather as extremely demanding supervisors (Fortune)
His vision is quite vivid: Your [AI] agents annoy you, take care of every little detail, and you have more to do than ever before, Huang says. They analyze your work, provide real-time feedback, and ensure you become more efficient (Youtube).
He describes these AI systems metaphorically as digital instances that will constantly intervene, monitor tasks, and accelerate processes. For employees, this primarily means one thing: more speed, more control, and (hopefully) more output.
Will AI eventually create more jobs?
How does this relate to the current fear of job loss? This assessment contrasts with the concerns of many employees across various sectors – from humanists to creative minds (via Fortune). The uncertainty is significant.
In the USA, it has been studied very closely: The fluctuating labor market has created a feeling of powerlessness among many employees. According to a recent ADP research study, only one in five was confident that they would keep their job until 2025. Some respond with active resistance against digital transformation, hoping to halt the development.
As a joint survey by the AI agency Writer and the research firm Workplace Intelligence shows, nearly 30% of respondents admitted to intentionally undermining their employer’s AI initiatives (via Fortune).
“I am convinced that in the end we will create more jobs,” Huang said. By the end of this industrial revolution, he predicts that more people will be employed than at the beginning.
In general, the assumption remains that the biggest challenge posed by AI is not necessarily job loss, but also the change in daily work. Processes will become denser, demands will rise. More dramatically than Huang, however, Dario Amodei, the head of the AI company behind Claude, describes it: AI destroys jobs and companies downplay the threats

Instead of returning to Twitch, as many in his community wish, Kilian Tanzverbot Heinrich prefers to make announcements on YouTube.Exactly what he started his career as a content creator with.
Who is Tanzverbot confronting? After Tanzverbot recently made an announcement to WC Frisch, now the largest German internet provider Telekom had to listen to his complaints. Deutsche Telekom holds a market share of about 40%, followed by Vodafone. In his latest YouTube videoAnnouncement to Telekom on his secondary channel RANDOMVERBOT, Tanzverbot complained about the lagging internet.
At first, Tanzverbot said that he is not really a fan ofmaking announcements, but he felt the need to speak out. His problem with Telekom: Even though the YouTuber has fiber optic and thus a high download and upload rate, he cannot properly use his internet connection from 5 PM to about 11 PM.
Pages would only load very slowly, whether it’s Lieferando, YouTube or X.com. Tanzverbot got upset about it: I pay you 200 euros, I am a really good customer, I have never been late with a payment or anything else. I have always paid. This just can’t be! (Source: YouTube from minute 01:18)
The Telekom support wasn’t much help either, according to Tanzverbot. The response from support seemed to make Tanzverbot even angrier.
Getting upset in YouTube videos about companies, other people, or generally things that currently bother Tanzverbot, is precisely what made the content creator famous around 11 years ago. In a way, Tanzverbot is returning to his roots. However, he does not want to stream on Twitch yet.

Why doesn’t Tanzverbot want to return to Twitch? As much as his uploads please his community, they also wish to see the content creator back on the livestreaming platform Twitch. There, Tanzverbot also has a large reach with over 800,000 followers (Source: Tanzverbot on Twitch).
In another YouTube video, he explained the reasons for his non-return:
I want to come back, but I am afraid. I am simply afraid to stream on my main channels. […] But that is just related to my fear that I am much more afraid of the people who have always supported me than of any randoms.
Tanzverbot seems to think he has let his community down, as he only livestreams on TikTok, not on his main channels, where his actual community is. According to his own statement, he wouldn’t care if hate comments came his way on TikTok. However, he would take the responses from his community more to heart.
MeinMMO editor Benedikt has been using a feature on Steam for a few years now. This saves him a lot of money each year.
What is the feature? Steam introduced the new feature “Steam Family” in 2024. However, the feature could already be tested in the official beta since March 2024. Meanwhile, the feature is officially integrated into Steam, making it easy to use.
In the last 2 years, my wife and I have saved several hundred euros with it. Because many games no longer need to be purchased twice; one license of the game is sufficient.
Start video
Valve presents the Steam Machine in the new trailer
“Steam Family” has saved me money in daily life for 2 years
Since when have I been using the feature?I have been using “Steam Family” since March 2024 with my wife. The big advantage: Games that either my wife or I purchase are usually also available on the other account. Also convenient: The DLCs of a game can also be used through “Steam Family”.
The old “Family Sharing” was much more restrictive: If my wife played a title from my account, I was locked out. With “Steam Family”, other people can use games from my account, but I can still use another title simultaneously.
But there are exceptions: Games from Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, or generally third-party launchers do not support “Steam Family”.
Convenient: In the Steam store, you will see a blue note indicating that you can already use the game.
Why is it worth it? In the last 2 years, my wife and I have saved a lot of money, especially for larger games that interest both of us.
One of us buys the game and the other can also use it without having to invest money directly:
For example, my wife bought Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and I could also check it out without having to buy it myself.
FANTASY LIFE i: The Time Thief was also purchased by my wife, and later I could play it calmly for a few hours.
My wife could now try Crimson Desert through my account to find out that it is not her game after all. That saved us 60 euros.
Other notable games include Monster Hunter: Stories 3, Stellar Blade, the survival game Enshrouded, or Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Otherwise, it would have been 50 or 60 euros every time if we had both bought the game.
Additionally, “Steam Family” has another significant advantage: You can simply try out games and do not have to adhere to Steam’s return policy if your partner is excited about the game and wants to keep it anyway.
In my opinion, Steam’s return policy sometimes falls short in everyday life: After 2 hours, you have barely seen enough of the game to really know if you want to return it. Crimson Desert is a game where, after 2 hours, you have hardly seen anything of the game world. In other games, you might not even be finished with the tutorial after 2 hours.
Where does the advantage end? As soon as my wife and I want to use co-op or multiplayer, Steam Family reaches its limits, as a single license cannot be used by two accounts simultaneously. We both purchased games like Coral Island and My Time at Sandrock. That is something to keep in mind when using the feature.
A conversation in ARC Raiders moved not only the affected Raiders but also the entire community when a Russian player encounters a gamer from Ukraine.
How did the players collide? In a clip by player elimsnis (on TikTok SinSmileTV), he shows the encounter with another player in the “Buried City” in ARC Raiders. The actual PvP player informs the other that he is not friendly and will shoot, but changes his mind when the other asks him to. He has to get back to work soon and finds correspondingly little time to play. This moves elimsnis to mercy, which is why he lets his now new friend loot in peace.
When asked by the other where he comes from, he replies: “I come from a very sad country.” The other can relate and reveals that he lives in Ukraine. That causes a brief pause before elimsnis admits: “I am from Russia.”

The Russian player narrates that he fled to Spain and works there, and that he also has many friends in Ukraine. His Ukrainian teammate reports that he still lives in his home country and does not have the necessary money to flee. He spends a third of his salary on taxi rides, hoping he won’t be caught and recruited for the fight: “Living like this is terrifying, unbearable.”
Both listen to each other and agree: “This is just really bad.”

In Old School RuneScape, the servers are heating up. Over 250,000 players are currently playing the MMORPG, even though the developers recently raised the prices.
Why is the MMORPG so popular right now? The MMORPG genre is currently experiencing a trend, where many players are returning to their old favorites due to a lack of new titles. Currently, we are seeing record player numbers not only in Old School RuneScape (Source: MMORPG.org.pl).
Old School RuneScape shows the “Group Ironman” mode in the trailer
A Mix of Nostalgia and Innovations
What updates have there been recently? In Old School RuneScape, the developers have a packed roadmap for 2026. So far, there have been two major updates. In January, a new temporary game mode called Deadman Annihilation was introduced, along with more PvP, new items, and the removal of the bank keys.
The most recent update is the April update titled: Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts, which introduces the Yamas League. In addition, Echo bosses are returning, new tasks and relics are coming, and new demonic rewards can be earned. The combat masteries have also been adjusted.
What does the community think about the new peak? The players of Old School RuneScape are very happy that their MMORPG is currently flourishing. At the same time, it is likely that everyone is aware that the high player count also means many bots are invading the title. However, they also praise the new leagues of the game on Reddit:
janzuka: “Leagues has been a lot of fun so far. What kind of build are you all using?”
Gavither: “It’s accessible on many available platforms and not technically demanding. It’s really no surprise. However, bots probably make up quite a percentage.”
SuperCarpenter4450: “Surely RS has always had a botting problem, but they have published statistics that detail how much they have ramped up bot bans, especially in the last 6 months. Every active player can tell you that you can feel the reduction of bots. So it’s still pretty impressive to see their player numbers. However, the reason for this peak is a leagues event, which historically drives player numbers up.”
So they are presumably working on the bot problem, and the player count has also risen with computer gamers.

About three months ago, the people behind Dragon Ball not only announced the continuation of the Dragon Ball Super anime but also a remake. This marks the fourth version that fans can see from the beginning of the anime. One of the creators now explains in detail what has changed.
What will change with the remake? So far, it was only known that the anime would receive an extended version titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, which retells the story from the very beginning of DB Super. There are expected to be improved visual expressions in every scene and a more immersive and detailed reproduction of the original work.
During the livestream for Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, which took place on April 19, 2026, Executive Producer Akio Iyoku revealed why the remake is necessary. He names the reasons for what will change with the new edition:
The beginning of Dragon Ball Super is set ten years in the past. Since then, visual expressions have continually evolved, and integrating these innovations has been an important factor.
They want to stay closer to the original, meaning the manga by Akira Toriyama.
There will be new scenes, and the old ones will also be re-rendered, meaning rendered from scratch.
The art style is said to have been improved.
The story is set to be completely reconstructed.
You can watch a first trailer for it here:

As an example of the changes, the producer mentions the presence of Beerus. Since he is the God of Destruction, his strength and presence are to be emphasized even more with modern visual techniques.
Unfortunately, Akiyō Iyoku does not elaborate further on what is meant by the reconstructed story. It could mean that the narrative pace improves, even if there are no drastic changes to the main plot.
The Fourth Remake of the Same Story
Who is it worth it for? The remake is really only suitable for hardcore fans or for people who have not seen any version of Dragon Ball Super yet. Because there have been three ways to experience Dragon Ball Super so far.
On one hand, there is the original manga by Akira Toriyama, on the other hand, there is the movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods related to the anime, and then there is the anime itself. The remake is now the fourth version of the same story.

Beast of Reincarnation has received a new trailer and Game Freak continues to show that there is more to them than just Pokémon. MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes is not only completely fascinated, the game reminds him of an emotional action RPG.
Since its announcement, the gaming world seems to be completely surprised by Beast of Reincarnation. The upcoming action RPG from Game Freak, the Pokémon studio, looks impressive, especially when compared to the Pokémon games.
So far, I have mostly ignored Beast of Reincarnation and was skeptical. Especially the DLC for Pokémon Legends Z-A disappointed me like no other game has in a long time. But the new trailer for Beast of Reincarnation gives me hope that there is more to Game Freak.
You can watch the new trailer here:

GameFreak showcases in the new trailer for Beast of Reincarnation what their new game is capable of
More than just Pokémon
Game Freak is primarily associated with the Pokémon series, but occasionally they also ventured into other games, such as:
Drill Dozer (2005) for Game Boy Advance
Tembo the Badass Elephant (2015) for Steam, PS4, and Xbox One
Giga Wrecker (2017) for Steam (later also for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch)
Little Town Hero (2019) for Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox One
These have mostly flown under the radar or received mediocre reception. For instance, Little Town Hero only scored 64 on Metacritic with a user score of 4.2. Beasts of Reincarnation already raises the bar with production values alone.
I am especially fascinated by the robots, as I initially thought of something like Nioh for the setting, but Beast of Reincarnation mixes post-apocalypse with Japanese influences. The new trailer showcases the subjectively best form of a post-apocalypse.
I love the world that seems inhabited by robots and reclaimed by nature. Humans seem to be secondary. Along with the musical accompaniment, the game already evokes flashbacks to NieR: Automata, an action RPG that triggered the strongest emotions in me.
Especially impressive in the trailer is also the gameplay. It not only looks fast and beautifully animated, but also implements the contrast between nature and robots.
On paper, the gameplay looks simply like an action RPG, but I am impressed by how much confidence Game Freak puts into the visual design. The contrast between mechanical creatures and nature seems to be reflected even in combat. For example, a special move makes gigantic flowers sprout from the ground, but also features futuristic attacks with seemingly homing arrows.
This confidence is also evident in the character design. The main character and an older man may appear to wear traditional clothing at first glance, but small pockets, a green vial, or a jacket that looks more futuristic can be seen. In this trailer, Game Freak manages to organically combine these elements without the visual ideas clashing.
This is not easy and shows that Game Freak has an understanding of character design and a visual identity beyond graphics. In this case, you could mention Pokémon, because despite the mediocre technology, Pokémon games usually have interesting visual ideas.
Just the clothing of the main character is incredibly interesting.
Important, even if it may not be the best game
If you look at the YouTube comments, the comparison with Pokémon is of course in the foreground. That’s why Beast of Reincarnation is such an important game for Game Freak. It not only attracts attention for them, but they can also differentiate themselves from Pokémon, even if the game may not be the big revelation.
Although I am looking forward to the release now, a fundamental skepticism remains. The story seems to be a major focus, and it will be interesting to see what Game Freak makes of it. Although Pokémon has nice ideas, there hasn’t been a truly serious story since Pokémon Black and White 2 (2012).
However, Beast of Reincarnation stands or falls with the gameplay. The animations look good, but how does it actually play? The flower special move looks impressive but also like a disruption in the otherwise fluid gameplay. After all, a good flow is one of the most important aspects of action combat systems.
However, these are things that are difficult to evaluate based on a trailer. We will likely have to wait for demos, play tests, or ultimately the release. But even just with the trailers, Game Freak has already managed to be more than just the Pokémon studio and I find that wonderful.
Windrose offers a lot of potential for those who enjoy setting sail with their friends. But how does it work and what is possible? We will show you!
What can you do in multiplayer in Windrose? Windrose can be played completely in co-op, and you can explore the world together and build your bases and ships. One player hosts the corresponding world and then invites the others with an invite code.
How many players can play Windrose? You can play with up to 8 players on the official servers, although the game itself recommends a maximum of 4 for a smoother experience. If you manage a dedicated server, you can increase the number of players as well.
Can you invite players to the solo world at any time? In principle, you can. For that, you just need to go to “Host Game” in the main menu and select your existing world instead of a new one. However, you should note that not every progress is transferred for all players, and some things are not synchronized.

How does progress work in co-op? Individual progress depends on when players enter an existing world. If the host has already been playing for a while, the progress of the other players will not be automatically adjusted. However, you have a few options to customize your gaming experience:
Shared quest progress
You can choose in the options whether you want to share your quest progress. This works for all quests marked as co-op quests. If one player completes the objectives, the quest is also completed for all other present players.
You can also disable the option so that everyone has to complete their quests by themselves.
Note: If you take breaks in between and your host continues to play without you, you will have to catch up on missed quest objectives next time before you can continue synchronously.
You can also adjust how and whether the enemies scale with you and the number of players. You can make them either stronger or weaker.
Do new players take on the host’s progress? No, if you join a world later, you have to catch up on completed quests before you can continue together.
Do all resources respawn in multiplayer? Yes, you don’t have to worry about emptying the world together. As long as the resources are not too close to a campfire, they respawn regularly.
Can multiplayer worlds be continued without a host? Yes, theoretically that is possible. It’s not very simple, but if you want to continue playing without your host friend, catch up on progress, or just farm, you can do that as well. However, it’s a bit more complicated and comes with some limitations. Everything you need to know is here in the guide: Windrose: How you can dive into your friends’ world even without a host

The release of Crimson Desert on March 19, 2026, has now been over a month. For the fans, it’s a good time to provide a conclusion about the game, and there is a lot of criticism.
How is Crimson Desert doing? Crimson Desert is still popular among players a month after its release. Just on Sunday, April 19, according to SteamDB, over 155,000 players logged in simultaneously. The first 3.6% of players have finished the story and are now voicing criticism.
Warning: This article contains minor spoilers about the final boss of Crimson Desert.
Good even in the endgame:

Critique of the endgame and its systems
What bothers the players? In a Reddit thread, players are currently discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Crimson Desert intensely. In it, the poster expresses some theses. For example, the last chapters of Crimson Desert are not good and feel “rushed.”
At the same time, the epic final boss fight has major issues. The dragon flying and reaching the boss do not function well due to bugs and rob the fun and flow of the fight. Similarly, the start of the fight is problematic, as you first have to find the final boss instead of using the epic storm on the fortress as an introduction.
He also speaks in the post about the many systems of Crimson Desert. For example, the camp, according to him, is built more on quantity than quality. Bugs block some features, and it lacks depth.
For him, the boss fights were also quite boring. They usually follow the same attack patterns and do not differ much in tactics. On the other hand, it is different with the puzzles, which you sometimes have to solve with millimeter precision.
How does the community see this? The community discusses the player’s experience. The post has about as many upvotes as comments on Reddit. Opinions vary greatly, but many of his points resonate:
martygod12: “Exactly my thoughts. CD is overall a good game, but it is extremely inconsistent. There is probably no game I’ve played in the last 5, maybe even 10 years, where I was constantly amazed at how great something can be made, only to then simultaneously shake my head in disbelief at how poorly something can be made.”
Nwah2112: “The precision of the puzzles is not discussed often enough. I had to look up a series of quite simple puzzles just to confirm I was doing it right because I had assumed I had everything turned the right way or whatever.”
trevvert: “The refinement system is also completely crazy. Why SO MANY materials? Why isn’t it drawn from the inventory? And sorting in the refinement menu makes a lot of things very difficult; it could use some category tabs as well as a way to refine multiple levels at once (especially when combining the same equipment)”
Catch11: “It is heavily carried by the graphics and combat, but I enjoy it immensely”
BiggieAl93: “For a game with so many bosses, it’s really disappointing that every boss is just a teleporting, attack spamming clusterfuck.”
However, there is also a lot of criticism from fans who praise Crimson Desert and the features criticized here. However, the general tenor points out that the critics were correct in their assessments of the game and that Crimson Desert has clear problems that need to be fixed.
Microsoft seems to have decided to give up the last thing that made an Xbox an Xbox, and that could be crucial. According to leakers, Microsoft plans to forego custom hardware in its next Xbox.This also marks the end of an era, as every Xbox so far relied on special hardware inside.
“Project Helix” is said to be the next Xbox from Microsoft. It’s already clear that the system will differ significantly from the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, as it aims to bridge the gap between PC and console gaming.
Now another detail has emerged: A well-known leaker reports that the next Xbox is supposed to forgo custom hardware, a fact that has always made consoles unique in their own way.
The leak comes from AMD insider KeplerL2, the magazine WCCFTech considers the source and the leaker to be very reliable, as he has been correct more often in the past.
Giving up on special hardware feels like the end of an era, but it will make things much easier for developers
What does this mean? In simple terms, the next Xbox system will contain the same hardware that you can also find in a computer. There is not supposed to be a specific graphics chip (GPU) developed for the Xbox platform.
For most average users, this change probably won’t make much difference. When someone turns on a console, they usually see the interface and menus, not the custom hardware hidden inside the console. Gaming is also unlikely to feel any different, as the gaming experience itself with controllers and players will most likely remain identical.
On the other hand, the shift to “normal” PC hardware without special features means it could be easier than ever to port games to the new “Helix” system.
MeinMMO tech expert Benedikt says: The forgoing of such custom hardware feels like the end of the Xbox era. Whether in the Xbox 360, Xbox One, or the current generation (Series X|S), Microsoft has always relied on specifically tailored hardware that you could only find in these consoles.
This made the consoles something special, at least from a hardware perspective. Even the new Steam Machine, which is set to be released in 2026, relies on special hardware that you can only find in that device.
But that could now be over. In the end, I might only buy PC hardware with an Xbox sticker on it. For many, there might hardly be any reason to buy an Xbox, as the lines between PCs and consoles continue to blur. However, this could also mean that important advantages of the Xbox are lost: 6 things where PS5 and Xbox are simply better than a gaming PC
