The latest update of Dead by Daylight is live. The Clown killer is on the loose and brings the new patch 2.0 – along with the in-game shop and much more.
Dead by Daylight has released its major update 2.0 on PC. The new killer “The Clown” now stalks in the fog and throws toxic mixtures at his enemies before chopping off their fingers and adding them to his collection. In conjunction with the release of the patch “Curtain Call,” a new trailer was also released to capture the mood of the game.

What does the in-game shop offer? In the Dead by Daylight shop, almost all characters can be purchased – either as usual through real money or Iridescent Shards. The latter can be obtained automatically while playing. It is thus possible to unlock almost all characters (except licensed ones, like Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger) through pure gameplay. Aside from that, there are numerous cosmetic upgrades in the shop to customize survivors and killers according to your preferences.
A lot of changes to the game. Update 2.0 also made numerous changes to the game’s balance. Killers now have it a bit easier, as pallets no longer create a “vacuum” that survivors can escape through. Before the patch, survivors could perform the “stun” action on one side of the pallet, then be “teleported” to the other side of the pallet and continue to flee. This granted them some extra meters and stunned the killer. Now, a pallet can only be knocked down on the side where the survivors are located.
However, it will still take some time until the update “Curtain Call” is also released on consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The battle royale game Fortnite (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) will soon offer special football skins for the FIFA World Cup 2018. This time you don’t have to choose a specific nation, as the jersey colors are supposedly customizable. Even for nations that are not qualified for the World Cup.
Fortnite meets FIFA: The FIFA World Cup in Russia starts on June 14, 2018. As with the Winter Olympics in South Korea, there will also be special skins with sports jerseys this time. However, with the winter sports, you had to decide on a nation or buy the skin multiple times if you wanted Germany, England, and France together.
The football outfits are a bit more customer-friendly.
8 Football Skins with Selectable Prints for the FIFA World Cup
This is how the new skins work: According to a leak from Instagram user @JH9, the new football skins in Fortnite are fully customizable. You initially have the choice between eight base outfits, four for women and four for men. The skins differ in the patterns on the jersey and the skin and hair color of the wearer.
Choose number and nation yourself: In the Instagram leak, we see that the skins do not have a fixed nation and number. You choose them in a customization menu yourself. So you can show your support for “Die Mannschaft”, “Squadra Azzurra”, or the “Seleção” as you like.
Not all World Cup participants are included in the Football Skins
What can I choose? The nations available for selection are allegedly: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, England, Egypt, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the USA and Uruguay.
Some World Cup participants are missing, including Croatia, Senegal, and Morocco. However, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA, and Canada are selectable in Fortnite, but not actually participating in the FIFA World Cup.
Keep in mind that this leak is not yet confirmedand the skins are not yet available for purchase in the shop. The exact appearance of the football skins and the nation selection may still change!

This year Black Desert is set to enter beta on Xbox One, but console players can already play the action MMO Tera. Is Black Desert not afraid of competition? Furthermore, Pearl Abyss is considering a release of Black Desert on the mobile Nintendo console Switch.
Black Desert would fit on the Switch
Will Black Desert be released for the Switch? According to Pearl Abyss CEO Kyungin “Robin” Jung, they are very interested in the Switch. The console has sold well, and a release of Black Desert on the Switch is being considered by the studio.
In fact, the network environment of the Switch is particularly appealing for the mobile console. The UI, layout, and controls also fit well with Black Desert, according to the CEO.
Bringing Black Desert to the Switch could be a smart move. Because currently, the selection of online games for the Switch is rather limited.
Action MMO Tera is already playable on PS4 and Xbox One
Tera vs. Black Desert Online: For this fall, Pearl Abyss is planning a beta for Black Desert on Xbox One. The Xbox One X benefits from special graphics. But since April, players have been able to enjoy themselves in the online world of the action MMO Tera. Both Black Desert and Tera are Asian MMOs that aim to attract players with their beautiful graphics and a dynamic combat system.
But besides these two titles, there are also other MMOs playable on the Xbox One. Players can choose which game they prefer. For developers, this means competition.
However, despite the similarities between Tera and Black Desert, Jung does not see Tera as a competitor. According to him, Black Desert has established itself in the West, developed a strong following, and has a lot of content waiting for Xbox players. Tera will not affect Black Desert when Black Desert is released for Xbox One, believes the CEO.
This information comes from an interview by Massively Overpowered with Kyungin “Robin” Jung, the CEO of Pearl Abyss, at this year’s E3.
Bungie is trying to make Destiny 2 a hobby again with the Forsaken expansion. This is also evident with the new level cap and the new maximum power level.
A long way to the top: Destiny is meant to become a hobby again. Bungie is relentless in emphasizing this over and over. The Forsaken expansion is supposed to represent a major step in that direction. More information about the new maximum level and the upcoming power level cap seems to confirm this. It looks like Guardians will have a long road ahead of them starting September 4th before they can reach their maximum strength again.
The new maximum level – A huge leap
Bungie confirms new upper limit: According to YouTuber MesaSean, the new maximum character level in the upcoming Forsaken expansion will be 50 and the power level cap will be 600.
Although these values were already visible during the reveal stream of Destiny 2: Forsaken, at that time it was stated that these numbers shouldn’t be taken too seriously as they would likely change again.
However, it seems that these values are indeed final. MesaSean has played the current build of Forsaken and, according to his own statement, talked directly with Bungie to confirm this information.
A giant leap: This increase represents the largest level cap difference since the launch of Destiny 2. The two DLCs “Curse of Osiris” and “Warmind” raised the character level by 5 each and the power level by 30 and 50, respectively. This time, Forsaken brings an addition of 20 character levels and 215 power levels to climb starting September 4, 2018.
At E3, Bungie emphasized that with the upcoming fall expansion they want to challenge players more frequently and harder than ever before. This obviously also relates to the leveling process.
How fast is the new path to max level? It remains to be seen how quickly these new limits can be reached. Unfortunately, nothing is known about this so far.
However, if Bungie adheres to the recently introduced changes to the leveling system and the sources for upgrades, Guardians may face a long and arduous path to the top of power – especially for fans with limited playtime. But that’s exactly what large parts of the community have been wishing for a long time.
Additionally, it will be interesting to see what level recommendations will apply to the respective activities. We will keep a close eye on this exciting topic and report back immediately with any news.
Catching a Ditto in Pokémon GO is not easy. However, a new monster has now appeared on the Ditto list that can transform.
With Remoraid, there is a new species in Pokémon GO that can transform into the shapeshifter Ditto after being caught. This is particularly convenient for trainers who are currently on the hunt for their Mew.
Ditto now as Remoraid in Pokémon GO
Many trainers need to find a Ditto in Pokémon GO. Professor Willow needs such an encounter for his research. The problem is that Ditto can disguise itself as one of more than ten species and does not appear in its Ditto form in the wild.
Remoraid – Source: Pokewiki.de
Remoraid for the Water Event: Currently, the Water Event is active in Pokémon GO. Shortly after the event started, trainers noticed that the water Pokémon Remoraid can transform into a Ditto after being caught. The proof video is available here on Reddit.
Will Remoraid always be a Ditto possibility? The Water Event in Pokémon GO runs until June 21. Trainers are now wondering whether Remoraid will no longer be able to transform into Ditto after the event ends. There is a possibility that this transformation is only active during the event. Therefore, trainers on the hunt for Ditto should catch as many Remoraid as possible while their spawn chance is increased during the water festival.
We can only say for sure once Remoraid can still be caught after the event that can transform into Ditto.
Niantic meets the researchers halfway
It seems that Niantic is gradually increasing the number of possible Ditto encounters. The main reason is the special research.
This constantly presents trainers with new tasks that culminate in an encounter with Mew. In Station 5 of 8, you need to catch a Ditto – This is how to catch Mew in Pokémon GO
If Niantic continues to add a new species that can transform into Ditto with each event, trainers will find it easier to complete this task.
The RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will probably be released without multiplayer. Whether there will be a future update is still uncertain.
Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be shipped without a multiplayer mode. This was recently announced at E3 2018. In an interview with Eurogamer, quest designer Patrick Mills stated that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a “pure” single-player game.
Focus on single-player. According to Mills, the entire team is focused on creating an engaging single-player experience. “We want to hit the nail on the head there before we turn to other aspects.” Mills thus makes it clear that he rejects any hopes that the game would feature online functionalities with other players.
Multiplayer may still come to Cyberpunk 2077, but no promises
Multiplayer “under discussion”: However, a multiplayer is not completely off the table. CD Projekt Red is discussing internally about a multiplayer and is considering how and if it can be integrated into the game. However, no promises are made. Only when the game is completed would such aspects be considered in more detail.
Misleading information in the past: The new information is particularly contradictory to the past. A few months ago, after the Twitter account for Cyberpunk was reactivated, there were consistently small updates about Cyberpunk 2077. During this time, it was also stated that there would be “some form of online component” and that interaction with other players would be possible. The fact that this is now – at least for the time being – completely scrapped suggests a change in plans.
What do you think about Cyberpunk 2077 not having a multiplayer mode? Were you not expecting one anyway? Or do you need it in order to enjoy the game?

If you are looking for a bargain on V-Bucks and a cool Wingman skin in Fortnite, you should check out the new starter pack. It includes the “Wingman Outfit”, a back bling, and V-Bucks. This is how you can get the Wingman skin in Fortnite.
What are starter packs? Fortnite regularly offers starter packs. These are discount deals in which you get an exclusive outfit, a back bling, and V-Bucks at a bargain price. Ideal for those who don’t have many outfits yet and want a different skin to switch things up.
In Season 3, there was already a pack like this, which contained a “Halo Skin”. Now there is a new pack featuring a jet pilot.
Skin, Back Bling, and Bucks for only 5 Euros
What’s included in the new pack? The second starter pack from Fortnite contains the following items:
The “Wingman” skin for Battle Royale. The outfit is a cool jet pilot with a flight helmet.
A matching back bling
600 V-Bucks for both Battle Royale and the PvE mode
What does the pack cost? All of this is available for 4.99 Euros in the Fortnite shop. Normally, the 600 V-Bucks alone should cost 6 Euros, so with the outfit and back bling, this offer is a real bargain. However, you can only purchase it once.
How to buy the Wingman starter pack in Fortnite
Where can I find the offer? You just need to click on the last tab “Shop” all the way to the right, not the “Item Shop”. There you will find the offer. But don’t take too long to decide to buy it. At some point, the deal could disappear from the shop.
At the very top right is the shop where you can get the pack.
During E3 2018, there was finally substantial footage of Cyberpunk 2077 to see. Unlike Cortyn, Micha is absolutely thrilled and can hardly wait to roam through the crazy Night City himself.
After fans had to wait for years, a trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 was finally shown during the Xbox press conference at E3 2018. Not much was revealed about the RPG itself, but the footage gave a good insight into what players can expect from the future world of the role-playing game.
Colorful and Dirty – Welcome to Night City
After the announcement, Cyberpunk 2077 was barely more than a title to keep in mind for me. After all, CD Projekt RED was very sparing with information about the sci-fi role-playing game. I also never really got into the Witcher series of the developer and preferred to watch friends play instead of stepping into the role of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia.
I was completely swept away by the trailer shown – With Cortyn, it even destroyed the hype. In the beginning, the protagonist talks about how his city was chosen as the worst place to live – and after seeing the images, you believe it too. However, the video had more to offer than just an anonymous city full of strange characters.
A quick overview is offered to the viewer: Punks hanging out on the street. People living in gigantic apartment buildings, while snazzy suit wearers land one job after another. Colorful holograms promote consumption while citizens are beaten on the open street, and androids and cyborgs are part of everyday life.
Blade Runner meets Dredd meets Deus Ex meets the old Shadowrun role-playing game on the SNES. It is precisely this gap between this sleek, wealthy vision of the future and the dark, impoverished side of the city that captivates me completely.
This is a Different Story than Told in The Witcher
The cold outside perspective on the activities in Night City is also what sold the city to me. Viewers can be horrified as they follow how bleak and rough life is in Cyberpunk 2077. Eat or be eaten.
I could also find something to appreciate about the somewhat emotionless and unsympathetic nature of the protagonist. In Cyberpunk 2077, the player is not Geralt of Rivia, who despite his gruff nature always tries to do the right thing. In this future RPG, we are someone who wants to survive in a ruthless world and maybe even throws their moral compass overboard for a chance at a piece of success.
I Believe in CD Projekt
I can understand the people who are disappointed after the trailer or perhaps expected something different from Cyberpunk 2077. However, for me, it’s precisely this mix of cheesy 80s flair, colorful retro-future look, and the violence that apparently is the order of the day in Night City in 2077 that makes it appealing.
Furthermore, I believe that CD Projekt RED knows exactly what they are doing and are taking extra time to make sure Cyberpunk 2077 is a real hit. The trailer certainly makes me eager for more. Now, however, please let’s not wait for years again until we see the next footage of Cyberpunk 2077.
The Blood Trolls are considered one of the potential allied races for WoW: Battle for Azeroth. Blizzard has now clearly stated its position on the matter.
When it comes to the upcoming expansion “Battle for Azeroth” for World of Warcraft, many discussions revolve around the allied races. After all, there are supposed to be more races joining each faction throughout the addon. One of the potential races is the Blood Trolls, who initially appear as adversaries. Blizzard has now made it clear that Blood Trolls are not planned as an “Allied Race”.
What Blizzard says about the Blood Trolls: In an interview with IGN at E3 2018, Blizzard was not definitive in its words and left much room for speculation about whether the Blood Trolls could become an allied race. Community Manager Ornyx then spoke up in the forum and clarified that “Blood Trolls are currently not planned as an allied race.” The interview was a bit wild, and several topics were quickly mixed up, especially concerning the interactions of the Zandalari with the Blood Trolls.
What are Blood Trolls? In Battle for Azeroth, there is a splinter group of trolls who call themselves Blood Trolls. This group serves – as the name suggests – dark powers and attempts, among other things, to free G’huun and satisfy him with as cruel blood rituals as possible.
Parts of the community are not deterred by this statement and suspect that Blizzard just wants to “hold back a bit” so that more people can later enjoy the Blood Trolls. So far, however, there are no signs that they will ever become playable.
Would you have wanted the bloody variant of the trolls with their fetish for the red life essence as a playable race? Or are you quite glad that we are spared from the crazy trolls?

Fallout 76 is a post-apocalyptic survival game. It takes place in West Virginia and the residents of this state are totally excited. Some even want to rebuild their real towns in the game! Others prefer to search for the legendary monsters of folklore.
Fallout 76 takes place in West Virginia: But nearly 20 years after the great bang in the game, the region is depopulated due to the nuclear war. The towns are ruins, mutated monsters roam the forests, and everything is radioactive. However, this shouldn’t deter the brave residents of real West Virginia from rebuilding their homeland in the game.
West Virginia as a Setting
This is how the real residents of West Virginia react: When it became known that West Virginia would be the setting of the new Fallout, the people from this state were particularly excited. Because West Virginia rarely appears in films and media. And when it does, it is often portrayed in a negative cliché representation of quirky mountain dwellers and hillbillies.
Finally, Attention! That’s why the residents of this state are particularly concerned that their homeland appears so prominently in a Fallout game. The developers at Bethesda have also brought so many places and attractions from the real world into the game that the inhabitants of West Virginia excitedly cheered multiple times in the trailer.

Even before the release of the game, some West Virginia people are planning to rebuild their homeland in the game. Because even if his old hometown is just a radioactive hole, one player definitely wants to rebuild this settlement. And woe betide if the location of Parkersburg isn’t in the game!

On the website PCGamesN, the most prominent creatures were introduced.
The Mothman
The “Mothman” is the most famous monster from West Virginia. The being was first seen in 1966. Many more sightings reportedly followed. Only after the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967 did the alleged sightings of the monster become rarer. There is said to be a connection between the disaster and the Mothman.
The Mothman is a humanoid being with glowing red eyes and wings. And just such a creature is also seen in one of the trailers. It is quite possible that it is the Mothman.
This beast is clearly visible in a video of the game. It appears there as a huge pile of flesh that curiously seems to have no head. The original monster was first seen in the 60s in Grafton and also described as a headless giant monster.
The “Snarly Yow”
This creature is said to resemble a dog or wolf. It lurks in the mountains and along roads. It can allegedly appear and disappear immediately. In a Fallout 76 video, the beast is briefly seen stretching its toothy mouth towards the sky.
The “Flatwoods Monster”
This is a type of alien that kids supposedly saw in the 1950s around the city of Flatwoods in the mountains. The being is described as a thin, humanoid creature with long arms. Such a creature is also found in the game trailer. And aliens wouldn’t be the first time in a Fallout game!
The “White Thing”
This beast is said to be a type of American Wolpertinger. It is supposed to have the paws and tail of a raccoon, the horns of a goat, and the wool of a sheep. And the creature also has four eyes!
Such a creature is of course not in the game. But instead, there is a strange, white “thing” that looks as if it were pieced together from various parts. It comes pretty close.
The Mega-Sloth!
These prehistoric animals really once lived in West Virginia. Due to the radiation, they seem to have returned, because in the trailer for Fallout 76, a “Mega-Sloth” is clearly visible.
SCUM is coming to Early Access. The game is an open-world survival MMO, but it has the scenario of a battle royale shooter. However, you also need to pay attention to your body and, for example, what you eat.
Battle of the Prisoners
PUBG meets Hunger Games. SCUM places you in an arena where prisoners fight for their survival for the entertainment of spectators. It gets very brutal. You fight until only one player remains. You use whatever weapons you find in the game area. This is somewhat reminiscent of the Hunger Games film series. Because your fellow players are not your only enemies. Hunger also poses a challenge.
Rewards from Spectators. Just like in the Hunger Games, you can receive rewards from sponsors in the game world. Depending on how you perform in the fights, you will receive useful items that grant you advantages.
Pay attention to your body. In SCUM, it is not only important to defend yourself against other players, but you also need to ensure that you satisfy your hunger and keep your body fit. You can even improve yourself through a character progression system. For example, if you are too fat, you will have trouble running away from your opponents.
Through the progression system, you also improve:
Hacking skills
weapon handling
and your combat experience
Steam Early Access and Season 2. In August, SCUM will be playable in an Early Access version on Steam. An exact date will still be announced. The game is expected to be continually expanded based on seasons. The developers have already teased Season Two, which introduces new elements like combat drones and mechs.

Cyberpunk 2077 is played from a first-person perspective. The developers reveal what they had in mind.
When it became known that the upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077 would be played from the first-person perspective, the player community was divided. Opinions ranged from “This will be shooter crap” to “this will make the RPG experience really immersive.” Due to the discussion, the developers felt pressured and explained why they chose this perspective.
First Person was a “conscious decision”: Peter Gelencser, the lead level designer of Cyberpunk 2077, revealed in an interview with IGN that he likes the excitement around the topic. “[The first-person perspective] was a conscious decision. It was chosen so that you can see things up close and interact with them on an emotional basis.”
Augmentations provide additional information: An important aspect for choosing the first-person view are the augmentations. In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, players can modify themselves and adjust their perception through various chips. This would also change the player’s view, for example, when additional implants provide new interface displays or enable things like “night vision.” To actually experience the effects of such augmentations, the first-person view is crucial.
He further explains that the third-person view works in games like Witcher because there is a lot of movement around the character. But when “everything happens to you, starting from you, then first person is the right way.”
What is your opinion on the first person in Cyberpunk 2077? Can you get used to this “shooter view” in an RPG? Or are you hoping that there will still be a third-person variant?

All players start in Anthem with the Ranger class. You unlock the other three Javelin exosuits throughout the story. This was confirmed by producer Mark Darrah on his Twitter.
The Ranger is the all-rounder: This Javelin is a classic all-rounder that can do a bit of everything and is therefore versatile. It is said to shine particularly in 1vs1 battles. This probably makes it the ideal class to get to know the game and the different mechanics of the suits.
The order is up to you: The order in which you unlock the other three Javelins Colossus, Storm, and Interceptor is up to you. You will obtain the exosuits through various story missions. These appear to be non-linear, and you simply play the missions you want to tackle.
You will unlock all classes early in the story: It is confirmed that you will unlock all Javelins before the first quarter of the story is over.
From left to right: Ranger, Colossus, Interceptor, and Storm
The level of your Freelancers determines the strength of the loot drops
The Freelancer levels up independently of the Javelins: In Anthem, the characters you play are called Freelancers. As a Freelancer, you can slip into and control the Javelin exosuits. You will level up with your Freelancer, and this level determines how strong the loot is that you find.
If you switch suits in between, you will always receive equipment that matches your character’s level. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you leave a Javelin unused for a while and want to boost it later.
What do you think about starting with the Ranger? Would you have preferred to choose your starter Javelin yourself?
Also The Last of Us: Part 2 is getting a multiplayer mode. It will likely be dark and might separate you from some Facebook friends …
The E3 2018 continuously provides new information about the games of the upcoming years. Fans of good entertainment on the PlayStation 4, in particular, should be excited about The Last of Us: Part 2, which was presented with a spectacular trailer. In an interview with GameSpot, co-director Anthony Newman revealed, “Factions is back” – the multiplayer mode is returning!
What has been said about the multiplayer? They do not want to go into concrete details yet or “what forms it will take.” However, the announcement that the multiplayer will feature “Factions is back” already provides some hints about how the multiplayer experience will unfold.
What was the “Factions multiplayer”? In the multiplayer mode of The Last of Us, players battled each other in a 4vs4 manner, either fighting for the Fireflies or the Hunters. Just like in the main game, players could decide freely: Brutal action or tactical stealth gameplay? This could often change in a matter of seconds. Each team had (like in many other shooters) tickets regulating the respawn. If the tickets were exhausted and the last member of your team was killed, the opposing team won.
The Facebook connection was the highlight: The gaming experience was particularly intense when you granted the game access to your Facebook profile. After each round, there was a bit of “story” about your camp. If you played poorly, the seized medical supplies might only be enough to save two out of three people. These NPCs carried the names of people from your Facebook friends list. It was dark and oppressive – just like the atmosphere in the main game.
Those who played the multiplayer in Part 1 can look forward to experiencing that intensity again. The mode should certainly be enough to keep players engaged with The Last of Us: Part 2 for a while after the main story.
Are you excited for The Last of Us: Part 2 and will you be playing the multiplayer mode? Or did you leave it out in the first game?

Todd Howard from Bethesda revealed more details about the upcoming online game Fallout 76, particularly how many players will interact on each map.
Fallout 76 will not be an MMO. Bethesda has made that clear. But how many players are there on a server of Fallout 76? Todd Howard has now explained this.
Maximum 32 players per server
Only a few dozen players. According to Todd Howard, between 24 to 32 players will interact per server. This limitation is intended to give players the feeling of being relatively “alone” in the post-apocalyptic world. Considering how large the area of Fallout 4 is and multiplying that by four for the world of Fallout 76, even with 32 players, you likely won’t constantly encounter other players.
You see every player on the map. One point that made Bethesda visibly nervous is that you always see exactly where the other players are. Whenever you open your map, you can see precisely where the other players are located. This obviously has some implications for gameplay:
You can team up with others and attack specific players
You can quickly seek help by looking for teammates on the map
You can try to avoid other players
It is challenging to estimate how players will react to this feature. Especially PvP fans might be disappointed, as ambushes will likely be nearly impossible.
In Fortnite (PC, PS4, Switch, iOS & Xbox One) there was the Pro-Am tournament at E3 2018. It was the first official tournament by Epic and the most famous streamer won it. But just barely!
Ninja was the clear favorite: Many viewers were clearly on Tyler Blevins’ side. But the pro streamer was not in good shape and had bad luck. Early in the first game, a solo round to warm up, Ninja was eliminated from the game by the streamer Gotoga.
In the end, only players Kinstaar and Noah remained. The latter secured the victory with a well-aimed rocket.
Round 2 – Chaos Royale!
Intense action at the start: The second round was another warm-up, but this time in the already assigned pairs. From the outset, things heated up as several teams went at it fiercely. Players like Lil’ Yachty, who were very strong in the first round, were among those eliminated early.
Ninja has bad luck: Ninja performed better this time and was teamed up with his teammate Marshmello. He is a musician who always wears a bucket shaped like a marshmallow on his head. Ninja fought bravely and was more successful than in the first round. However, he was eliminated by the player Kinstaar with a rocket.
Round 3 – Ninja Strikes Back!
The Revenge of Ninja! In the third and final round, things got intense. In the end, only 3 players remained, Ninja and Marshmello against CouRage from OpTic Gaming.

The final storm circle was around a mountain, and Ninja along with his teammate had the top positions. From there, they could put pressure on Courage. He fought valiantly but fell in the end!
Ninja and Marshmello Win the First Tournament!
In the end, the two winners were crowned tournament champions. They received a total of one million from the prize pool of 3,000,000 dollars. By the way, the two winners will not pocket the prize money but donate it to charitable organizations.
Fun Fact: This money is not part of the 100 million dollar prize pool that Epic wants to provide for the first official eSports tournament season.

Battle Royale is a strange eSports format: The tournament once again showed that Battle Royale is an unusual format for eSports and tournaments. Due to the high element of chance, top players like Ninja can get eliminated very early. And due to the high psychological pressure, making a comeback in later rounds becomes even harder.
It remains to be seen whether Fortnite really will qualify as a good eSports title.

How large is the open world of The Division 2? This question is surely on the minds of some agents. YouTuber MarcoStyle attempts to provide an answer.
The open world of The Division 2, which is the post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., will be very large again. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has seen New York from its predecessor. But how significant is the difference in the playable areas?
The well-known Division YouTuber MarcoStyle compared the map of New York with the already visible map material from The Division 2 – and comes to a surprising conclusion. The Division 2 is almost twice as large!

Open worlds are not always an exact replica of the original
Calculating the size of the areas – sometimes not so easy: Marco explains how difficult it was in The Division to convert the map of New York into real measurements. The walkable parts of Manhattan were not taken in a 1:1 scale from the real template but adjusted for gameplay reasons.
This has also been the case in games like Assassin’s Creed.
Will it be different in The Division 2? Washington D.C. will be a scaled replica of the real US capital. This makes it much easier to evaluate and compare the displayed map material. For this, he simply uses Google Maps.
The open world of The Division 2
The dimensions of the known map: The Division 2 world has
an approximate length of 5.2 km and
a width of 2.2 km.
In total, this results in a size of 11.44 square kilometers.
Overall, the game world seems to be significantly larger than in The Division 1. Marco estimates it to be about 75%.
Developers speak of less – open world still significantly larger
Marco’s estimate does not come from nowhere; the map of The Division 2 looks significantly larger.
The 75% might not be accurate because during the post-show at E3 the developers commented on the size of the walkable game world. This will be about 20% larger, still huge, but not quite as gigantic as calculated in Marco’s video.
So we can definitely expect another huge open world. The game world along with its inhabitants, who will primarily consist of civilians and hostile factions, is said to be dynamic and provide a lot of variety.
There will be settlements where we, as Division agents, will need to assist civilians and thus influence the happenings.

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting risqué. As befits a wild city in a frenzy, players can also have quite an active sexual life.
The E3 2018 is in full swing. Even though the major press conferences and thus the biggest announcements have already taken place, there is still fresh information about the presented games. This includes Cyberpunk 2077.
Wesley Yin-Poole from Eurogamer got his hands on the game and brought some details to light: Cyberpunk 2077 will surely satisfy fans of intimate relationships in RPGs.

One Night Stands with plenty of naked skin. Yin-Poole reports that there will be opportunities in Cyberpunk to disappear into your apartment with a charming lady or a nice gentleman. If you pick up someone appealing at one of the many clubs, it’s probably not surprising if the two end up together in bed in a world with “This is the last party” mood. Whether this will have consequences for the story is, of course, still uncertain.
As usual, the depiction is likely to be quite explicit. There should be “full nudity” – but with an age rating under 18, after the trailer, no one probably expected anything different.
Studio is known for sex scenes. CD Projekt Red has already made a name for itself in the past with its open approach and the theme of sexuality in its games. While in Witcher 2 players could “collect” happy women on cards, it was a lot more problematic in Witcher 3. If you didn’t choose a lady, you would end up getting the bill at the end. Of course, that didn’t devalue the previous sex scenes…
Overall, a relaxed attitude towards the topic seems to suit a postmodern world that wants to leave an adult impression.
