It has not been entirely clear what exactly Torchlight Frontiers wants to be. The online action RPG is supposed to be the continuation of the Torchlight series, but whether it will be an MMORPG was not explicitly stated – until now.
As designer Max Schaefer explains in a new video, Torchlight Frontiers is definitely an MMO. Although it has action-RPG elements, at its core it is supposed to be a true MMO.
What does Torchlight Frontiers offer? As a continuation of the well-known Torchlight series, the new game aims to take the player experience into a massively multiplayer world without going too far from its roots.
The world will continuously evolve as the team works on updates and content expansions
You are a part of this world and contribute to how it develops
The world is persistent and will continue to live on even when you are not online
You team up with other players, explore the areas, investigate ruins and dungeons, and fight countless monsters
There are still unanswered questions: Even though the developers have now confirmed that Torchlight Frontiers is an MMO, several questions remain open:
How many players are present per server in the world?
Will there be raids?
What about solo content for all fans of the first two Torchlight games who loved that solo experience?
What classes are available?
How will we improve our heroes?
Is there crafting and housing?
How will PvP be integrated into the game?
More details to follow: As Max Schaefer explains in the video, more information about Torchlight Frontiers will be released in the coming months. We will definitely get answers to the remaining questions then. Torchlight Frontiers will be released at an unspecified date for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

In the arenas of Pokémon GO, a new level 5 opponent has appeared. Regirock replaces Registeel.
After Registeel has been a tier 5 boss in Pokémon GO for almost a month, it is now being replaced by a Rock defender – Regirock.
Regirock Raids are active
How long will Regirock stay? Starting from August 17, you can find Regirock in the arenas of Pokémon GO. It will stay there for a little over a month. It will leave the battle arenas on September 20. Until then, you have time to battle and catch this monster.
What is effective against Regirock? Although the monster appears extremely robust, it has weaknesses against various attack types. You have good chances with Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel attacks.

Trio complete: This completes the Regi trio in Pokémon GO. It started with Regice, Registeel was available until August 16, and now the last part, Regirock. Whether we will soon see Regigigas in raids remains unclear. It belongs to Generation 4, which has not yet been released.
The list of nominees for the Gamescom Awards has been released and includes a completely unknown game. Are we expecting a new Diablo spin-off under the working title Project Mephisto?
The title Project Mephisto is nominated in the “Platform” category for the best console game on the Playstation 4. The other nominees – Marvel’s Spiderman and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – are already known, with extensive information and video material available.
There is currently nothing known about the title Project Mephisto. However, there are indications suggesting that Project Mephisto may be one of the Diablo projects recently announced by Blizzard.
Hints about a new Diablo spin-off: Mephisto is the first great evil that players had to face in Diablo 2 in the third act. Mephisto did not appear in the third part. Along with the announcement to advance large Diablo projects and the nomination for the Gamescom Award, we can certainly expect something big.
A new Diablo installment in collaboration with Sony? The designation “Project” in the working title and the nomination for a Gamescom Award for the Playstation 4 platform also suggest that Sony is heavily involved in the development. The Playstation VR was previously referred to by the working title “Project Morpheus”; the parallels are unmistakable.
This seems rather strange. After all, Diablo spin-offs have traditionally been released on PC first, with console ports usually following years later. Could a new Diablo installment be released simultaneously on all platforms or even exclusively on the Playstation 4?
4 different Puzzle Modes: There are four different types of puzzles, each with different objectives and requiring different strategies. All puzzles are only one turn long – you only have one chance to arrange the game board in such a way that the challenge is considered complete.
Death Zone: Players must destroy the opposing hero in this turn, reducing its health points to 0.
Mirror Image: Your game board must be an exact copy of the opponent’s board. The same minions must face each other, have the same health points and the same buffs.
Survival: This mode is the exact opposite of “Death Zone”. Players must modify the game board so that they survive the opponent’s next turn for sure.
Tabula Rasa: In this mode, the game board must be completely cleared of minions. By the end of the turn, there must not be any minion left – neither on your side nor on the opponent’s side.
Reset Button for Relief: If you make a mistake, play the wrong card, or overlook a detail, you do not have to restart the entire “run”. Instead, there is a reset button that resets the game board back to the beginning in a matter of seconds. This way, you can take all the time you need, and mistakes are not a disaster.
In each mode, the puzzles start off easy but become more difficult with each round. The particularly tough final puzzles are against Dr. Boom himself and are likely to present some challenges even for experienced players, as there are more than 100 puzzles to solve.
Developers are struggling. Especially during the internal testing of the puzzles, the developers had a lot of fun. Even the lead mission designer spent almost an hour on one of the puzzles and did not manage to test other puzzles – because he refused to look up the answer or ask others for help.
Starting August 21, next Tuesday, the Puzzle Lab will open.
Will you be playing this Hearthstone mode enthusiastically?

With the release of the Forsaken expansion, the Gambit mode arrives in Destiny 2. Bungie has now explained how to obtain rewards and how the progression system works.
With Forsaken, Guardians will have plenty to do – including in Gambit, the new PvEvP mode. Gambit combines cooperative PvE encounters with PvP elements and aims to be attractive to both casual players and hardcore fans alike.
Now Bungie has shared details about the reward and progression system of the upcoming hybrid mode for the first time.
The Infamy ranking system and rewards in Gambit
Infamy ranking system similar to Valor in PvP: The progression system in Gambit will function similarly to the Valor ranks in the Crucible. In Gambit, the system is called Infamy. It features six ranks:
Guardian
Brave
Heroic
Famous
Mythic
Legendary
Here’s how to level up: By participating in Gambit matches, Guardians earn points and work their way up the Infamy ranks.
Change regarding the ranks: The ranks from Guardian to Mythic have been split into three tiers per rank. These tiers are meant to provide players with more short-term goals and rewards that can be achieved in a few sessions, rather than working towards them over several weeks. The Legendary rank remains unaffected by this change.
Winning streaks: Just like in the Crucible, there will be winning streaks for multiple consecutive victories, which can stack up to five times and accelerate your progression. Winning streaks grant bonus points and are not reset until a match is lost. If you join an ongoing match, the streak will also not reset in case of a loss. There will also be points for losses, but fewer than for wins.
Bounties: Points can also be earned through daily Gambit bounties that you receive from the Drifter. Once you reach level 50 with your character, the Drifter will also offer a weekly bounty. This weekly bounty awards a significant amount of Infamy points and allows for larger jumps on the way to Legendary.
Rewards: And as you work your way up rank by rank towards Legendary, there will be new rewards from the Drifter in the form of Gambit-specific weapons and armor pieces. In addition, the Daily Bounties are expected to offer different rewards as well. The weekly bounty guarantees a powerful piece of gear upon successful completion.
The new and final FIFA 19 cover is known. EA Sports presents the cover featuring Cristiano Ronaldo in the Juventus jersey. See here the covers of the Standard Edition and the Champions Edition.
FIFA 19 and the Juventus transfer: The transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus Turin surprised not only the entire football world but also EA Sports. Because this year’s FIFA installment FIFA 19 was already advertised with Ronaldo in the Real Madrid jersey. CR7 was even intended as the cover star.
Here you see the cover of FIFA 19 with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Royal jersey, which was actually intended:
EA Sports had to act: Since football in FIFA 19 is supposed to be depicted as realistically as possible – at least that’s how EA advertises it – the game cannot be released with a Ronaldo in the “wrong” jersey on the cover. A solution had to be found – and the solution is now known.
The new cover of FIFA 19 – Standard Edition
The graphic designers at EA Sports were allowed to present their professional Photoshop skills in recent weeks. Because for the new cover, the previous pose of Cristiano Ronaldo was maintained; he was simply dressed in the Juventus jersey.
Here you see the new and final cover:
Is this really the official cover of FIFA 19? Since the previous cover was merely revised, doubts could arise that this image is indeed the “real” cover. It could also have been created by a fan.
But yes, it is the “real” cover. On the official EA Sports FIFA website, this Ronaldo in the Juventus jersey has also been updated:
This is, by the way, the cover of the Standard version of FIFA 19.
However, new trailers and cover stars alone are not enough for changes. It is the licenses that motivate many FIFA fans to make a purchase every year. Which stadiums and which leagues and teams are licensed in FIFA 19, you’ll find out in the links.

Today, Blizzard released the official trailer for Diablo 3 on the Nintendo Switch. The action RPG will be coming to the hybrid console with the Eternal Collection.
With the new expansion, players can craft new bags in World of Warcraft again. With Battle for Azeroth, they can create the currently second-largest bags – there is only a larger one for a lot of gold.
Bags through professions: Tailors in Battle for Azeroth receive two new recipes for containers. The Deep Sea Bag offers 30 bag slots, and the Embroidered Deep Sea Bag even offers 32.
Tailoring: Crafting bags in Battle for Azeroth
You receive the recipe for the 32-slot bag Embroidered Deep Sea Bag randomly from some humanoid enemies on Kul Tiras. However, to learn it, you need Tailoring from Kul Tiras/Zandalar at skill level 150.
Crafting the Embroidered Deep Sea Bag: There are three ranks for the Embroidered Deep Sea Bag. Ranks 2 and 3 each reduce the material costs:
Tailors can produce the Embroidered Deep Sea Satin themselves from Deep Sea Satin, Misty Linen, and Nylon Threads. You currently obtain Hydro Kern from Mythic Dungeons (soulbound) and Expulsom from the Junk-o-Matic/Shredder Master.
Cheaper 30-slot bags: If you don’t know any tailors who fight through Mythic Dungeons or are a brave little tailor yourself, you can also fall back on a cheaper recipe.
Even larger bags for a lot of money: If you need even more than 32 slots, you can also buy the “Luggage of the Insane.” You can get this from a secret vendor in Dalaran, where you also get the Bloodfang Widow, an extremely expensive spider mount.
However, the bag can only be equipped once and costs a whopping 500,000 gold pieces.

Learn more about the new expansion Battle for Azeroth in our overview:
World of Warcraft lures for the eighth time to explore the game world. Cortyn explains why this still works so wonderfully.
The now seventh expansion of World of Warcraft has once again captivated me and ensured that I am exploring Azeroth and its new areas for the eighth time. And I am already sure that this will still be the case for the ninth time.
For many players, World of Warcraft is not “one game among many,” but the one game that continues to attract players year after year. And the call is irresistible.
The feeling at the launch of an expansion can best be compared to the end of a long school trip or a vacation. You no longer want to be around other vacationers or classmates, and the longing for the familiar sets in.
It’s not really homesickness, and somehow the time away from the daily grind was quite brilliant – but no bed is cozier than your own.
The perfect mix of new and old
Numerous other games have failed at this very phenomenon. Anyone too similar to World of Warcraft simply couldn’t keep up with the features that Blizzard has created over nearly 14 years. After a decade and a half on the quality throne, it is nearly impossible to directly challenge World of Warcraft.
So impossible that even Blizzard did not attempt this with Titan – even though there were other reasons at play.
Those who wanted to be completely different frightened off World of Warcraft players. The combat system is completely different? What, there are no professions? Why don’t quests guide me through areas?
All the innovations that sound exciting and “different” on paper, WoW players initially want – until they realize that they don’t want it after all.
In my circle of friends, many rave about other MMOs, check them out for a week or two, and then realize: That wasn’t so great after all, precisely because it was different and often not as polished as Blizzard’s competition.
WildStar liked to compare itself to WoW. Ultimately, it also failed because of this.
Yet every expansion of World of Warcraft finds the nearly perfect balance to remain exciting. Classes change time and again, individual mechanics are reintroduced, or the graphics are slightly improved. Island Expeditions feel new, fresh, and hectic. They are unpredictable and chaotic but do not stray too far from the “typical” Warcraft feeling.
The WoW Moments of World of Warcraft
There are the aptly named “WoW moments,” where I think: “I wouldn’t have expected that such an old game like World of Warcraft can still achieve this.”
As the best example, let’s take the cinematics. They have improved over the years. When I saw the video for the Gate of Wrath in Wrath of the Lich King, I was amazed.
Now, in Battle for Azeroth, I am still blown away by how detailed the facial features are in the cinematics: How clearly Jaina’s regret is visible in her expression. How disdain radiates from her mother’s eyes. How the corner of Priscilla Ashenwind’s mouth lifts slightly at the end of the video when Jaina’s fate is left in her hands.
All of this is presented with slightly enhanced in-game graphics. A few years ago, I would have shown the bird to anyone who said that World of Warcraft would one day have such cutscenes.
Not everything is perfect, but enough is very good
Nevertheless, World of Warcraft is not a perfect game. Anyone who follows my articles a bit (or just looks for 2 minutes in a general chat channel of any MMO of their choice) will repeatedly find points of criticism.
I could philosophize for hours about why the shadow priest is currently a catastrophe in terms of gameplay. When my priest barely manages to defeat two melee opponents at once and just barely escapes with her life, it is incredibly frustrating to see a retribution paladin pull together seven enemies, two enemy horde players, the imminent server maintenance, and three Game Masters from Blizzard, and burn them all up in holy fire within seconds.
Complaints about the “artifact power grind” already existed in Legion and they will return with Battle for Azeroth, just like the whining about “all noobs always getting warforged items” while I go home empty-handed.
But these problems are so trivial; they are complaints on such a high level that they hardly drive any player away in the long run.
Other games, other standards
For every die-hard WoW fan, it is also difficult to judge other games fairly and objectively – because objectivity doesn’t really play a role in your own enjoyment of the game. When I judge what MMORPG I want to play in my free time, I don’t ask “fairly”. I don’t ask: “In what aspects is game X exactly as good as WoW?”
No, the real question I ask myself is:
“In which aspects is game X better than WoW, while simultaneously providing as much content and features, and is then so convincing that I would leave behind 14 years of accumulated player experience on my account?”
No game can achieve that. It is nearly impossible.
Of course, this is not “fair.” But why should I care about fair treatment of games when it comes to my personal enjoyment in my free time?
But no matter how good other games may be and how convincing their stories are: They can never surpass the bond of the players to Warcraft and beloved characters like Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner as a new game.
Many players grew up with these characters, controlling them over 20 years ago in Warcraft 3 and experiencing adventures with them. Whatever wants to come close to WoW would have to displace 20 years of Warcraft affinity from my heart or at least make me forget it for a while.
And that is nearly impossible since the heroes not only meet me in World of Warcraft but also in Hearthstone or Heroes of the Storm.
World of Warcraft is indispensable
World of Warcraft has simply become an integral part of my life. Not constantly and permanently present, but a part that frequently peeks around the corner and lures with beautiful promises that it can indeed fulfill.
In an age where a large portion of games are successful for only a week and their player counts then drop sharply to 10% of the value, WoW remains a phenomenon. A guarantee that the world will still be populated in one or two years.
For I am sure that there are many players who feel similarly and have developed a comparable bond to Azeroth as I have. Blizzard has created far more than a game with WoW; I would call it a piece of quality of life. A familiar form of relaxation that can be returned to time and again.
What is your relationship with World of Warcraft? Are you excited and drawn back to the game world with every addon?
The State of the Game from 16.8. just aired for The Division and Massive announced a release date for Patch 1.8.3. The update will be released next week. Learn here everything you need to know.
There is new information about Patch 1.8.3! The new update for The Division is coming next week and brings some balance changes and bug fixes.
When is Patch 1.8.3 being released? It will be next week, on 23.8.
What changes are coming with the update? The patch focuses primarily on two main issues:
one being the Classified Striker set, which many players consider to be too strong
and the “Running in Place” bug, which has been causing problems for months
These are the details about the upcoming patch.
These are the changes to the Classified Striker
The most controversial change of the patch will be the overhaul of the Classified Striker. This set is currently considered, especially after the changes to the Classified Nomad and Predator sets, to be the strongest in the game.
What is the problem with the Striker? The 6-piece bonus of the Classified Striker allowed players with good aiming skills to deal extremely high damage while also regenerating a good amount of health.
In total, many players felt it was too strong when a DPS set also exhibits characteristics of a tank set, thereby inevitably overshadowing others. The set has now been revised to ensure balance.
What changes are being made now: Several adjustments have been made to the Striker, including
the healing per second has been reduced,
the number of stacks per shot has been decreased from 2 to 1,
shotguns now only increase the stacks by 1 for each projectile hit from a salvo. A direct hit now brings 8 stacks, instead of 16 previously
if you are under an EMP effect, your stacks now decrease and are not just temporarily blocked
The catch is: These changes only apply to the Dark Zone and the PvP modes Last Stand and Skirmish (excluding shotguns). In PvE, the Striker will continue to work as it has before. PvE players can breathe a sigh of relief.
Why is there a distinction between PvE and PvP? Fans have been demanding different treatment for PvP and PvE for some time now.
Based on this change, future decisions will also be made, so this feedback could certainly influence The Division 2.
Showstopper will also be adjusted
The Showstopper has been a constant topic in recent months. This exotic weapon is the only fully automatic shotgun in The Division.
What is the problem with the Showstopper? Apparently, with the right timing, the regular fire rate of this shotgun could be bypassed, allowing it to shoot significantly faster.
Combined with the Striker set, this created a pretty strong combination that drove some players to despair in PvP.
What is changing now: The patch should prevent this trick from working anymore. According to Massive, it should “feel” as though one can still shoot incredibly fast, but that will not be the case.
Players using the Aid Station can manually destroy it. If you have the Master Mod active, the Aid Station will heal every player in the vicinity by 25% of their health upon destruction. This excludes enemy players.
What is the problem with the Aid Station? It was felt that the mod was too strong. After all, the healing effect is stronger than the First Aid skill when not fully investing in Electronics.
Nearly every player is thus equipped with an Aid Station instead of the First Aid ability. The developers did not intend this.
What is changing now: Upon destruction, the Aid Station will still heal you – it just has to be active longer to achieve the full healing effect. This is meant to prevent the “place-and-instant-destruct” tactic.
What about the bug fixes?
Somewhat surprisingly, there was no information about the planned bug fixes. There was no clear statement regarding the “Running in Place” bug, although it was supposed to be addressed in this patch.
However, we assume that it will be fixed. In the live stream, Massive admitted self-critically that this should have been addressed much earlier. They apologize for that.
Massive is likely to release detailed patch notes soon, and we should get more concrete information then.
Shield Phoenix is active today – Survival is free to play for a week
The new Shield Phoenix is now available and focuses mainly on The Division’s Survival mode.
You need to do the following for the new Shield:
Extract five items, survive five hours, and kill five Hunters in Survival.
You don’t own the DLC? If you do not own the Survival DLC, you now have the opportunity to play it for free for a week.
In FIFA 19, the closed beta is currently running. A new screenshot now explains why a TOTS card of David De Gea is not better than his regular gold card.
Even though no images are actually allowed to be published from the beta, we continue to get glimpses into FIFA 19. Many things can be inferred from these leaks.
It has already been announced that the boosts from chemistry styles in Ultimate Team will be displayed. A chemistry style for keepers has also been leaked – leading to an exciting conclusion.
Chemistry styles for keepers provide a very large bonus
Chemistry boosts are displayed accurately. So far, EA has only shown us which of the 6 overarching categories of player attributes will be improved. In FUT 19, we can see exactly how much each attribute is boosted.
Reddit user Azothi posted a screenshot of a goalkeeper with the chemistry style “Wall”, where the exact bonuses can be seen.
Why is this something special? The interesting thing about the keeper visible in the image is that the bonuses for the individual attributes turn out to be extremely high.
While regular field players have boosts of either +5 (simple boost), +10 (double boost), or +15 (triple boost), keepers apparently have the division of +10 (simple) or +15 (double).
Additionally, goalkeepers only have 6 goalkeeper attributes, while field players have 29. With a “Basic” chemistry style, field players, for example, receive a total of +90 bonus, but distributed across many attributes. According to the beta leak, keepers, on the other hand, get a +60 bonus, which is only distributed across the 6 existing attributes.
And what does this mean exactly? At first glance, it appears that the basic chemistry style is the best for goalkeepers. Because overall, it provides the largest bonus:
Basic (6 times simple boost): 60 bonus
Wall, Cat, Shield, Glove (3 times double boost): 45 bonus
The second conclusion is that for good goalkeepers, it hardly makes sense to buy special cards at all.
The basic chemistry style makes some special cards useless
Basic already provides a large boost. Since each of the 6 goalkeeper attributes receives a +10 bonus, it seems that for good keepers, there is no difference between using the regular gold card or a special card.
This confirms the assessment of many “Ultimate Team” players, who believed that the “TOTY David De Gea” offers no additional value compared to the normal card.
Why do special cards hardly become stronger? Here again, we look at the example of De Gea.
His regular card already has 90 diving, 90 reflexes, 85 ball control, 57 speed, 87 kicking, and 86 positioning.
At full chemistry and with the basic chemistry style, he reaches 99 diving, 99 reflexes, 95 ball control, 67 speed, 97 kicking, and 96 positioning.
As you can see, almost all of his values are at the maximum value of 99 or at least close to it, with the exception of the less important value of speed for a goalkeeper. A possible special card thus brings only a minimal bonus to his values and no further advantages, aside from the appearance.
What you should really pay attention to when buying a goalkeeper
With good keepers – no special cards. The phenomenon explained above occurs, as mentioned, only with good goalkeepers. These include all keepers whose important stats approach 90 – for example, De Gea, Neuer, or Courtois. For weaker goalkeepers, you can also opt for special cards.
The height. The most important characteristic of a keeper is their height. The “high-end” goalkeepers are all at least 1.90 meters, especially players like Begovic, who stands at 1.99 meters, are of interest in the lower range.
The traits. The traits are another aspect, which made De Gea significantly better than Neuer in FIFA 18, for example. The reason for this was the “foot save”, which effectively countered flat volleys.
If EA really adopts these chemistry style values for FIFA 19, we now know: A regular strong gold keeper is completely sufficient. If you have money available, you should rather invest it in stronger field players.

Skyforge is actually an action MMORPG. However, in an upcoming new game mode, it will become a battle royale RPG. You won’t even need to have played the base game.
Skyforge will be Battle Royale. Battle Royale is the big trend of 2018, and more and more games are hopping on the bandwagon. So does Skyforge. The futuristic action MMORPG is usually known for a lot of grind and god-like characters.
With the new battle royale update at the end of August, you will also be able to engage in wild survival battles. However, not with your familiar heroes.
Battle Royale with 12 Classes
This is how you activate Battle Royale: The “Battle Royale” mode will start immediately from the start screen. You won’t need any progress in the original Skyforge to duke it out.
Instead of your old hero from Skyforge, you will play as one of 12 classes in Battle Royale. However, they are designed with abilities similar to the heroes from the base game.
There are melee fighters, archers, gunners, technicians, and gunslingers. Each class has different weapons and skills, including traps, invisibility, and shields.
Monsters are also involved
PvE meets PvP: Besides your opponents, additional AI monsters roam the map. You can take them down to earn more loot. However, those who are not careful will be eliminated by sneaky players while grinding.
Gameplay as a mix of MMORPG and action spectacle
How does the Battle Royale of Skyforge play? According to a press release, the developers want to largely maintain the look & feel of the MMORPG template. But at the same time, the game is intended to be more dynamic and action-packed. Therefore, less auto-aim will be used, and more focus will be on targeted actions.

On Tuesday, August 21, 2018, one of the most important events for gamers, Gamescom, will begin. Blizzard will also be present and has already introduced a companion app for Gamescom.
Augmented Reality at Gamescom: With the “Blizzard at Gamescom 2018” app, you can view the Blizzard area in Augmented Reality. In addition to this feature, Blizzard has announced a contest with great prizes – which ones exactly are not yet known.
Blizzplanet introduces the app in a video on YouTube for you.
If you scan certain items in the Blizzard area, you will have an “Overwatch Pachimari machine” on your smartphone. With the app, you will also have the entire schedule of Blizzard at Gamescom at a glance and an overview of the shop and offers from Blizzard.
All events from Blizzard on the Main Stage on Wednesday, August 22:
If you really want to play WoW everywhere, you also customize your car accordingly. Just like this player, who can play World of Warcraft in his Honda.
Are you still one of those old-fashioned people who play World of Warcraft on a classic desktop PC or laptop? Then it might soon be time to look towards the future, as one player takes the next step: He can now play World of Warcraft from his Honda.
HDMI connection in the car. As Buffed reports, using MHL Mirroring, anything can be displayed on the car’s display. However, this is only possible when the car is parked. While driving, it’s better not to have games or movies flickering on the built-in display. This can easily be handled through an HD connection, which allows for video and audio signals to be inputted.
Xbox gamepad as an input device. Controlled via an Xbox controller. While this is not optimal for World of Warcraft, it can at least be somewhat controlled and is definitely more convenient than a keyboard and mouse.
However, what other hardware was used, such as a laptop that is also present in the car, is not shown.
Whether this whole thing makes sense is, of course, another question. But who has not secretly had the dream, “Wouldn’t it be great to be able to game on the way home?” Of course, traffic regulations and the will to live get in the way of this desire a bit – but hey. Sometimes you just have to park for an hour, right?
The special research for Celebi starts in a few days at Pokémon GO – Get ready, Trainers.
What’s new? Professor Willow is once again seeking the help of you Pokémon GO trainers. Together with the trainers, he is on the trail of the mysterious Pokémon Celebi.
When does it start? You will find the new special research starting from August 20 in Pokémon GO.
New special research with Celebi – The new quests
From August 20, likely around 10 PM German time, the new quests in Pokémon GO will start. Then trainers who missed Celebi at the GO Fest in Chicago this year can finally hunt for it.
What about trainers who already have a Celebi? Those who attended the GO Fest in Chicago could already catch a Celebi. These trainers will receive candies through the new special research to strengthen their Celebi.
Requirements for the Celebi quest: Trainers who have completed the third special research project for Mew can start the special research for Celebi at any time.
The Mew quest will not be replaced by Celebi
You can work on the quests for both Mew and Celebi simultaneously. Niantic confirmed this in their blog post:
“You can start the special research for Celebi at any time as long as you have completed the third special research project for Mew. Afterwards, you can actively work on both projects at your own pace!”
More monsters from Johto
New field research: Niantic states that the presence of Celebi causes more monsters from the Johto region to appear. During this time, field research projects featuring monsters from the Johto region will also be available.
With this “event,” Niantic aims to get the trainers excited about the Johto region. Finally, we can unlock and catch our Celebi here as well. We will keep you updated here at Mein-MMO.de as soon as the quests for Celebi are known.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is a hidden star in Week 6 of Season 5 in an additional bonus title image. How to find the star is explained here.
Road Trip Week 6: Every time you complete all the tasks for a week, you unlock another level of the Season Challenge “Road Trip.” For this, you receive another secret title image. The images are not only funny but also nice to look at.
They tell the plot of Season 5, namely the adventurous road trip of Drift, the graffiti artist with the fox mask.
The image grants you a level: Each of these “merit pictures” also contains a clue to another hidden treasure. If you find it, you will receive another level credited to your current Battle Pass.
However, to uncover the bonus treasure from Week 6, you must first complete all the bonus stars from Weeks 1-5.
Here you can find the 6th bonus level for the Battle Pass
Where is the star? The image shows a scene from Risky Reels. It is located in the northeast of the map. This time, the star appears as a faint watermark directly on the loading area of a red pickup truck. Such a vehicle is located in the front row of cars at Risky Reels in front of the screen. So, the star can be found there.

Is there a video for that? If you want to see the location of the star in video form, we have one embedded here for you. Have fun!
How does the story of Season 5 continue?
The 6th bonus image and its meaning: In Week 6, the fun of Drift and his colorful friends continues. This time they relax at the drive-in cinema at Risky Reels with some slushy drinks. Interestingly, there are also a few important details:
The screen is repaired again. Until now, the cinema was still damaged from the meteorite impact in Season 4. Will there soon be a map change? Possibly to finally air the promised superhero movies from the contest?
Drift has removed his fox mask and his eyes are glowing. A hint that something dramatic will happen soon? So far, the Vikings from Season 5 have not appeared, and next week the Road Trip bonus skin will be available for the first time. Most likely, the story will take a dramatic turn again.
In week 6 of Season 5 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need to complete time trials 5 times to complete one of the challenges. But where are the 5 time trials hidden and how does the time race work? You will find out here.
But not a racetrack: With the task “Complete time trials,” it does not mean – as previously assumed – a race on the racetrack at Paradise Palms. In the challenges of week 6 of Season 5, you have to complete parkour courses à la Super Mario instead.
On the embedded map here, you can additionally see the fun locations with markings.
How to achieve the top time
How do the time trials work? To start the trial, you need to activate a blue glowing stopwatch at the respective location. The timer starts, and a typical 8-bit music shows that it’s counting now.
Like in Super Mario: You will now see more clock icons that you need to touch. If you have touched them all, the trial is completed.
If you don’t complete all within the allotted time, you have to start over.
Building helps: Ideally, you should build ramps or drive with a golf cart. And always watch out for your fellow players so you don’t get “swiped”.
All locations in the video
The YouTuber “The Gobiln” has already dived into the subject and found various locations with time trials. He also explains how it all works. Enjoy watching!

Scene from the Battle Royale mode? Towards the end, there is a brief look at snowy mountain ranges and a burning forest. This likely takes place in Norway, which plays an important role in Battlefield 5.

Unfortunately, the trailer does not show any actual gameplay.
