What is it about? Vigor is set in 1991 in post-apocalyptic Norway. What the players will be doing there and why it is Norway specifically, the developers have not revealed yet.
Vigor is described as a deadly multiplayer experience in which players are left entirely to their own devices. A significant part of the game involves PvP – player versus player combat. There will be risks at every corner. Resources are scarce and highly sought after.

The developers of Beyond Good & Evil 2 want help. Fans are invited to take part of the work into their own hands and be active. They want to incorporate player content directly into the game and have enlisted help from Hollywood.
The developers of Beyond Good & Evil 2 want to work closely with the community – much more closely than other games have done so far. At Ubisoft’s press conference at E3 2018, it was discussed how fans can participate in BGE2. Fans can actively influence the game world and even appear in it with their own artworks and emblems!
Creative people are in demand. Anyone wanting to be a part of Beyond Good & Evil 2 should check out the Hitrecord.org website. This is the company of Hollywood star Joseph Gordon Levitt (Looper). Over the coming months, challenges will be published here for creative minds to participate in. Currently, they are looking for emblems, symbols, and flags for space pirates. Do you have a creative streak or have you previously drawn something that would fit well in BGE2? Now is your chance to submit your image!
Player content everywhere in the world. As the world of Beyond Good & Evil 2 is supposed to take on gigantic dimensions, there will be many more opportunities for fans to participate in the game world. For instance, there could be graffiti in the various slums or propaganda posters that promote or oppose hybrids. Texts, such as poems or diaries from NPCs, would also be conceivable. It remains to be seen what “creative challenges” the developers will present to the fans.
However, there is still no release date for Beyond Good & Evil 2. Fans will probably have to wait several years before they can meet Jade again.
Have you seen the new cinematic trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2? We introduced it to you here:
What do you think about the opportunity to contribute content to Beyond Good & Evil 2? Is it a cool thing to engage the community? Or does it just mean being “lazy” and wanting to pass off work?

At E3 2018, new information about The Division 2 was shared during the Ubisoft press conference. The planned content for the first year has now been revealed, and notably, all three DLCs will be free for all players.
During Ubisoft’s appearance at E3 2018, there were numerous new details regarding The Division 2. In addition to new trailers, the content plans for the first year of The Division 2 have been disclosed.
DLCs for The Division 2 will be free in the first year – For all players!
Massive Entertainment is planning several content deliveries and world events following the release of The Division 2 on March 15, 2019. Three DLCs, referred to as episodes, are set to be released in Year 1.
3 DLCs are also expected to bring new areas
The special thing: No additional costs for new content will be incurred by players in the first year. All three DLCs will be completely free for all players.
The episodes are set to introduce new storylines, new areas, and new activities into the game. Therefore, there will not be a season pass.
What do the content plans look like after Year 1? Whether content updates will remain free beyond the first year is unfortunately still unknown.
During Ubisoft’s press conference at E3 2018, new material for Skull and Bones was showcased, an E3 trailer.
What is it about? You are sailing in the Indian Ocean, whose waters are full of gold and other riches. The problem is, you are not the only ones wanting to grab the loot. In Skull and Bones, the early bird gets the loot.
In order to successfully raid the seas, you need to assemble a battle-ready crew. As the trailer shows, the game is full of action and the cannons on board are frequently put to use.
For solo and group players: You can play Skull and Bones solo or together with a crew.
Are you a real pirate? Choose whether you are a loyal soul standing by your fellow players or a true pirate who deceives others to secure the loot for yourself.
Game mode presented during E3: The new PvPvE mode “Hunting Grounds” for Skull and Bones was presented at E3 2018. In this mode, you steal from merchant ships, collect loot along trade routes, and sink the ships of other opponents.
Special PvP mode: For the PvP players among you, there is the mode “Disputed Waters”, which throws you against a rival pirate gang with four other players.
Release? Skull and Bones will be released in 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

A new cinematic trailer for The Division 2 was presented at Ubisoft’s E3 conference. It shows America 7 months after the outbreak as a place like The Walking Dead but without zombies.
The Walking Dead without zombies: The new trailer features a dramatic camera movement through the city of Washington, from peaceful neighborhoods to the terrible consequences of the infection and the unrest as the city fell. A very dark scenario is drawn, the mood is oppressive.
It remains true to the style of the first part.
Release and Beta of The Division 2
The Division 2 will be released on March 15, 2019. There will be a beta beforehand, for which you can already register.
Fresh from E3, there is a new trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2. And it holds some dark secrets – and a reunion with old acquaintances!
The E3 2018 is in full swing and Ubisoft has just held its press conference. One of the highlights was a fresh trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2. After the developers had already released the first trailer last year, this time there was a bit more story to see. But better watch the trailer for yourself and form your own opinion:
The cinematic trailer gives a first impression of “System 3” and shows the protagonists’ spaceship. On the ship, everyone goes about their daily lives – the cook takes care of supplies and the medic patches the crew back together. When the ship suddenly comes to a halt, the crew tries to escape from the attackers. In doing so, they run into an “old” acquaintance.

Jade is back. The biggest revelation of the trailer is likely that the protagonist from the first “Beyond Good and Evil” reappears – and apparently as an antagonist who still has a bone to pick with the other characters. Unfortunately, no further details have been revealed yet, but fans of the series are certainly excited to encounter Jade once again.
The bad news is, however, that there is still no release date for Beyond Good and Evil 2. The gameplay is still in “pre-alpha status” – so it may still take several years until the actual release, especially given the scope that the developers are aiming for with the game.
What do you think of the new trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2? Has your appetite for the game been whetted? Or would you rather wait for gameplay before getting caught up in the hype?

Both Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter: World are known for frequently hosting crossover events with other games. Now content from Monster Hunter World is coming to Final Fantasy XIV.
During the E3 conference by Square Enix, some features of the upcoming coop event between Monster Hunter World and Final Fantasy XIV were teased in a trailer.
Palico companions and Rathalos are coming to Final Fantasy XIV
It can be assumed that the Warriors of Light will receive the Palico from MHW as a companion in FFXIV.
Monster Hunter fans in Final Fantasy XIV can also look forward to battling a Rathalos, which will likely appear either as a FATE boss or as part of a quest line in FFXIV.
Monster Hunter players will also receive an FFXIV event in MHW where they will face Behemoth.
The event is said to take place during the summer, according to Square Enix.

Today, on June 11, the press conference of Square Enix will take place at the E3 2018. Here you can find the stream and our expectations.
So far, we have seen some big hits at E3 2018. Today, on Monday, June 11, Square Enix will start its press conference at 7:00 PM German time. We expect content on Shadow of the Tomb Raider and the Avengers Project.
After the presentation from Square Enix, a program from IGN awaits you on the stream. They will talk about Death Stranding, Last of Us 2, and Assassin’s Creed.
Tomb Raider: The new Shadow of the Tomb Raider is set to be released on September 14, 2018. In the game, Lara goes to Mexico, and according to the developers, the story is supposed to be more challenging. Square Enix will likely use the opportunity at E3 2018 to present the game in more detail.
The Avengers Project: This project is being developed by Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics. It is planned to be a massive undertaking that will span several years. It sounds a bit like Destiny or The Division – but with superheroes. Many players are hoping for a trailer or at least a teaser for the project.
Just Cause 4 was already presented at the press conference by Microsoft but could also have a place in Square Enix’s presentation. Other titles that could be mentioned include:
The new setting of The Division 2 is Washington D.C. The capital of the USA has also been plagued by the Green Poison, which also dragged New York down into the abyss. A story video shows what has happened in D.C. so far.
This is shown in the trailer: A summary describes what happened since the outbreak of the virus, specifically what occurred during the time between The Division and the beginning of The Division 2.
Washington D.C. – the safest city in the world? The U.S. capital is considered one of the most protected capitals in the world. In addition to the Pentagon and the White House, many other important institutions of the U.S. are located in this city. Alongside the 177 foreign embassies and over 550 key government officials, there are also 23,000 military personnel stationed in D.C.
In the event of a disaster, important individuals can be quickly evacuated, and underground bunkers can be opened. There is also a powerful defense system that monitors the airspace.
No chance against the green poison
All these precautions did nothing against the virus. 27 days after the first infection, Washington D.C. fell, and chaos broke out. Riots and gunfire ensued as the military retreated to the bunkers. Civilians were left to fend for themselves.
The survivors had to reorganize and established settlements. The entire city is in a state of siege, on the brink of a civil war.
The Division as the last hope? The Division stands against this impending war, fulfilling its purpose: to save what can be saved. Here, the enemy may also come from within, but at this time, we do not know whether it refers to the Division itself or the former U.S. government.
Destiny 2 is too easy, complained the players. Bungie responded and introduced some very difficult strike modifiers with the Warmind expansion. However, according to the player community, Bungie has now gone overboard with the changes. Community Manager dmg04 has now revealed how Bungie will address the issue.
While the heroic strikes in Destiny 1 were considered a motivating challenge thanks to the special modifiers, these modifiers were completely absent in Destiny 2 for a long time. According to the bored guardians, it was too monotonous and too little different from the normal strike playlist.
With the Warmind expansion, Bungie delivered and introduced modifiers that are supposed to provide advantages and disadvantages in heroic strikes – offering more variety. However, when it comes to difficulty, Bungie has now gone overboard, as numerous posts on the Destiny subreddit illustrate.
The core of the criticism are the following modifiers:
Glass – Health and shields are halved but recharge twice as fast
Blackout – The radar is disabled and enemies deal significantly more melee damage
Grounded – Players take five times the damage while in the air
Each gameplay type alone significantly increases the difficulty – combined with the additionally occurring scorch modifiers (inbound and outbound elemental damage is increased), many guardians are already knocked out after just one enemy hit.
The fact that the heroic strikes require a higher power level with the Warmind expansion makes things even more difficult. This led, among other things, to the fact that the Exodus Crash strike in the heroic variant was completely ignored by the players – until Bungie removed the strike from the rotation.
Community Manager dmg04 confirms: “We are looking at the modifiers”
As Community Manager dmg04 confirmed on Twitter, Bungie is aware of the issue and is considering changes that could already be included in the July update.

They promise to keep the players updated should something happen in this matter. Perhaps we will already receive answers in the weekly TWAB blog post, which is published every Thursday. Until then, guardians will probably have to keep sweating!
What do you think about the modifiers in the heroic strikes? Too hard? Or just right?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
And it was not the only mechanic that was designed counterintuitively.
4 Limit Breaks of Level 3 within Half a Minute!
The Aethercharge mechanic aimed to make the first part of the fight harder by, for example, making a DPS check tougher and giving the primal new abilities.
However, bosses had to be overloaded, only then could the raiders survive the first appearance of Ultima unharmed:
Each primal killed in the overloaded state left a small ground AOE.
One healer, one mage, and one melee fighter had to enter this AOE and received a buff that was needed much later in the fight.
If one of these players used the Level 3 Limit Break, their buff caused the Limit bar to fill up immediately afterwards.
One of each mage, healer, melee, and tank Level 3 limit was required to survive Ultima’s deadly attacks one after the other.
And if one of the players did not have this buff, the entire group had to start over.
The Raider Community of Final Fantasy XIV is Very Satisfied
Even during the progression, one could observe the enthusiastic reactions of the hardcore raiding community of Final Fantasy XIV to the fight on social media.
After the trick with the Aethercharge became known, Elysium published chat logs with the reactions of their raiders to this mechanic:
But the players from Entropy also had their fun. Elia Sand, the white mage of the winning group, believes that Ultima is better in terms of mechanics and general design than Bahamut.
Kiona Lynaer, the Scholar of the Elysium group, shares his opinion. According to them, the Bahamut fight was a bit too anticlimactic due to its excessive length.
Ultima Fell After a Total of 86 Hours of Raid Time
The Entropy group also provided some numbers about their progress:
From start to finish, the raiders had to restart the fight a total of 495 times.
They spent approximately 86 hours raiding over the course of 5 days, including breaks in between.
On one day, they played for a whopping 21 hours straight because the group desperately wanted to overcome the 3% enrage.
It was a close thing: The guys from Entropy had already scored some World First kills during the Alexander raid in Heavensward and were therefore considered one of the favorites in the race alongside Elysium from the USA and Lucrezia from Japan.
And indeed, just half a day later, Elysium also secured their victory and second place.
The competition was tough and the joy of victory correspondingly great, as can be heard at the end of one of the kill videos:

When Square Enix will hold their E3 conference, you can find out from our overview:
The new hardest fight of Final Fantasy XIV against the Ultima Weapon was first mastered by the European Free Company Entropy. The developers led them and the other raiders around for almost a day. Because the fight is intricate.
Six days have passed since the fatal fight against the Ultima Weapon went online. Just like its predecessor Bahamut, the Ultima Weapon was meant to be a challenge for the best of the best from the raid community of Final Fantasy XIV.
When Habits Become a Problem
How did it all start? It was already known that players had to defeat Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan in the fatal fight before being able to face Ultima.
For half a day, the raiders managed to progress quickly and without too much difficulty, taking down the primals one by one.
But then they encountered fight mechanics that they could not overcome. Several attacks meant an immediate wipe for the group. No one knew how to avoid that.
Ultima Raid Violates Custom
Gamer reflexes are not always helpful: The developers had used the habits of the raiders against them.
Until now, it was always the rule in the hard epic raid fights of Final Fantasy XIV that any kind of buff on the opponent was fundamentally bad. Players were trained to prevent bosses from gaining any buffs or stacks in fights.
This rule was absolutely taken for granted. But that was precisely the catch. Because with Ultima the trick was to deliberately “mess up” certain fight mechanics at specific moments:
By messing up certain boss mechanics, the buffs “Aethercharge” were triggered on the primals Garuda, Ifrit, and Titan.
As soon as a primal had more than 4 stacks of the charge, their attacks became more dangerous and they gained new abilities.
The individual bosses have to be overloaded in order to gain advantages later.
The raiders had to completely relearn the fight and find out what conditions give the primals overload.
One of the Elysium raiders with the in-game name Aria also said in a tweet: “The developer [of Ultima] knew all our habits and thought processes as raiders and designed the entire fight with the aim of using them against us.”
And it was not the only mechanic that was designed counterintuitively.
4 Limit Breaks of Level 3 within Half a Minute!
The Aethercharge mechanic aimed to make the first part of the fight harder by, for example, making a DPS check tougher and giving the primal new abilities.
However, bosses had to be overloaded, only then could the raiders survive the first appearance of Ultima unharmed:
Each primal killed in the overloaded state left a small ground AOE.
One healer, one mage, and one melee fighter had to enter this AOE and received a buff that was needed much later in the fight.
If one of these players used the Level 3 Limit Break, their buff caused the Limit bar to fill up immediately afterwards.
One of each mage, healer, melee, and tank Level 3 limit was required to survive Ultima’s deadly attacks one after the other.
And if one of the players did not have this buff, the entire group had to start over.

When Square Enix will hold their E3 conference, you can find out from our overview:
Summerset is the latest addon to The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One). But what has happened beforehand? A new trailer from E3 shows that!
The full ESO story from E3: The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) was part of Bethesda’s E3 press conference 2018. Along with the new locations of the two upcoming DLCs in 2018, there was a lovingly compiled trailer for the game.
Molag Bal, Orsinium, Morrowind, and Summerset!
ESO has a long history since its release in 2014. You can see all these stages in the new trailer from E3. It starts with the victory over the Daedric Prince Molag Bal from the base game.
Then it continues with the events from the orc kingdom Orsinium. Later, Morrowind and Vivec are up next and are saved by the hero. Next is the Clockwork City, and finally, it goes to Summerset, the current location. That’s where the story ends … at least for now. Because already two new DLCs are on the way.
The Division 2 was officially shown for the first time at Microsoft’s E3 conference. The gameplay trailer already provided some insights into the upcoming online shooter from Ubisoft. Now, more details have leaked about specializations, endgame, and the Dark Zone.
Websites like PCGames.de and windowscentral are already reporting information from the press materials that were supposed to be made public only tonight. This information includes details about the endgame, the Dark Zone, and the game world. We’ll summarize.
Endgame Activities, 8-Player Raid and Story Content for The Division 2
Focus on the Endgame: As previously emphasized by Massive, the endgame will receive more attention this time. This was one of the biggest criticisms at the release of the first part.
They have learned from past mistakes and want to offer a wide range of activities at launch, it is said. This likely includes raids, which may be designed for up to 8 players.
What content can we expect after release? After the story campaign, many different activities are supposed to await the agents. In the first year after release, free, story-based missions, game modes, and map expansions are expected to come.
The Division 2 Street
The Division 2: Specializations and New Progression Systems
What do the specializations look like? Among the first innovations in the endgame are the so-called specializations. These will be unlocked after completing the main story and give the player the opportunity to focus on specific play styles. The known specializations so far are
the Destroyer,
the Sniper
and the Survivalist.
Within these roles, you will have special skills, talents, and mods available to find the play style that suits you best.
Washington D.C – The new setting is supposed to be dynamic
The new location is supposed to be authentic and varied. Due to floods, storms, and the green poison, Washington has become chaotic and dangerous.
More life in the game world through interaction between civilians and factions: Civilians and various gangs are fighting for survival and resources such as food, as well as weapons and medicines. The differing goals and hostile disposition of some factions can lead to multiple groups engaged in battles, with you as agents in the midst of it. This should create a believable feeling of a vibrant game world, whose inhabitants are truly fighting for their survival.
You will have the opportunity to help the civilians gathered in settlements and thus expand your own base.
From the main campaign, which you can complete solo or in a 4-player team, to PvP battles, you can experience a lot. The Dark Zone is also back. Hostile factions are also waiting for you. The “True Sons” are the first ones introduced to us.
The Division 2 has a Dark Zone
As in the predecessor, there will be a Dark Zone, and it will be as dangerous as ever. It is supposed to offer the best loot. No one can feel safe, as hostile agents can jeopardize your loot runs at any time, or just as easily assist you. The unpredictability of the Dark Zone was both a joy and a pain for the agents.
The Dark Zone is supposed to be designed to be fair and exciting for agents. Players can expect that it can be ignored if the gameplay style does not appeal to them.
We are curious about what information will be presented at Ubisoft’s E3 conference.
Before Fallout 76 is released on November 14, the game will have a beta. However, you cannot sign up for this – you must pre-order and purchase Fallout 76.
Fallout 76 Beta for Pre-Orders: Only purchasers are allowed to play the Fallout 76 beta. If you want to play the Fallout 76 beta, you must pre-order the game. There is no other way. According to Bethesda’s FAQ for the Fallout 76 beta, the only way to get into the beta is to pre-order.
What to know about the Fallout 76 beta
This is how you get into the beta after pre-ordering: You must pre-order Fallout 76 from a “participating retailer or digital platform” to be eligible for the beta. Depending on where you purchase the game, you will be invited to the beta differently:
Pre-ordered digitally: If you purchased Fallout 76 in the Xbox One store, the PlayStation store, or the Bethesda.net eShop, you will automatically gain access. The linked account will then be unlocked and you can play right at the start of the beta.
Purchased from a retailer: If you pre-order Fallout 76 from a retailer, you will find a code in the email confirmation or on the pre-order receipt. You then enter this code on the official Bethesda website after logging in with your account, and you will be unlocked.
Collector’s Edition is not necessary, but it’s also available
