The development of the MMORPG Camelot Unchained is not going as planned, as the team had hoped. However, a larger injection of funds is expected to change that.
Mark Jacobs, founder of the development studio City State Entertainment, has spoken in interviews about the status of the MMORPG Camelot Unchained. Many PvP fans are eagerly awaiting the spiritual successor of Dark Age of Camelot.
Jacobs must admit that the development of the game is behind schedule. However, the studio has secured a financial injection of 7.5 million US dollars from investors. The funds are now being used to hire new staff to accelerate the production of the game.
Completion of the game is a top priority – Danger: Feature Creep
It is important for Jacobs to focus on finishing Camelot Unchained now, without any further “feature creep”, meaning no more ideas for new features and systems that everyone on the team finds so cool that they want to implement them.
This has previously led to delays in development and the beta being postponed repeatedly. However, one feature has been expanded, namely CUBE, the Minecraft-like “building system” of Camelot Unchained. This is set to receive virtual reality support, which may mean that Camelot Unchained itself will also get VR support.
Investors are into Virtual Reality
According to Jacobs, this was important because the investors were excited about the idea.
However, finishing the game is the priority; whether VR support will be implemented is still uncertain. It could be possible. The main goal remains to enable massive Realm-versus-Realm battles.
They want to see at least 1,000 players during sieges, which should run on a mid-range PC with at least 30 fps.
New announcements regarding the beta coming soon
In the coming weeks, several major announcements are also planned – including the launch date of the first beta.
Release of Camelot Unchained planned for 2019 – but without guarantee
Jacobs also announces that the release of Camelot Unchained is planned for 2019 – but without guarantee.
He expresses confidence that the development of the MMORPG can now progress more quickly due to the new financial resources and also thanks the fans for their support.
Wargaming’s naval combat MMO World of Warships is now also available as a mobile game for smartphones. As World of Warships Blitz, you can now experience naval battles on your smartphone.
In World of Warships, you control heavy warships from the time of World War II in tactical naval battles. Since ships almost never come to a stop and can only turn awkwardly, the battles are both strategically demanding and dynamic.
If you want everything to be a bit faster and prefer gaming on your mobile, then you can look forward to World of Warships Blitz.
Naval Battles on Mobile
After the tank MMO World of Tanks successfully launched a mobile version World of Tanks Blitz in 2014, it’s now World of Warships’ turn. In World of Warships Blitz, you can now play naval battles on Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.
The gameplay corresponds to the original but runs faster and more dynamically, as only 7 players per 2 teams compete against each other. Within a round, you hash it out with cannons, flak, bombers, and torpedoes. Between rounds, you further upgrade your ships or buy better vessels.

Another riddle in World of Warcraft has been solved. We will tell you how to bring peace to the soul of the undead Draenei girl Uuna.
With every patch in World of Warcraft, there is a new riddle to solve. In the current patch 7.3.5, it revolves around Uuna, an undead Draenei girl. She did not survive the conquest of Argus and was killed, her body and soul transformed into a monstrosity of the Legion.
How to Obtain Uuna
To obtain the “pet” Uuna, you must solve a first small riddle. The item Uuna’s Doll, which teaches the pet, is left behind by a rare mob in Argus, which you must summon first. To summon the Faceless One, players must complete a “hidden quest”.
This requires collecting three different bones that can be found at specific locations in the Antoran Wastes. It is best to install a coordinate addon (Map Coords or TomTom) to reach the points accurately.
Intact Horrific Bone: 52 / 35
Intact Fel Bone: 66 / 26
Intact Ur’zul Bone: 50 / 56
Once you have all three bones, head to the coordinates 55 / 39. Here you can click on the bone pile to summon the Faceless One. Depending on your gear, you should take on the fight in a group.
You only need to collect the bones once. After that, you can summon the Faceless One at this spot every day.
Although wowhead currently states a drop chance of about 6% for Uuna’s Doll, Blizzard has already confirmed that the chance has been “drastically increased” – so you should be able to make it yours in just a few days.
Spooky: A little ghost girl as a pet!
Uuna’s Journey
Important: The images and steps used in this guide come from the large community of the “WoW Secret Finding” Discord server. The credit for solving the riddle goes to the community of players there.
After you have obtained Uuna as a “pet,” the long journey can begin. Below you will find a step-by-step explanation.
Step 1: Scaring Uuna
Summon Uuna and let her accompany you. At some point, she will speak for herself and call out for her mother. Then use the following emotes:
/whistle
Uuna will hear you and search for you, expressing that she cannot see anything.
/roar
You scare Uuna and she runs away. You will then have to summon her again.
/cry
Uuna hears your crying and tries to comfort you.
Step 2: Journey to Shattrath
Once the emotes are completed, travel to the shattered world to the capital city of Shattrath. Bring Uuna to the center of the city and let her meet the Naaru A’Dal. Once she finds its light “too bright,” you can leave again.
Step 3: Lake Falathim
Your next destination is Ashenvale on Kalimdor. Travel west to Lake Falathim (directly west of Maestra’s Post) and summon Uuna in the strange shimmer of the lake. She apparently likes the brightness, as she now recognizes you and searches for “Nuu-Nuu.”
Step 4: Nuu-Nuu
To find Nuu-Nuu, you need to travel to Mac’Aree on Argus. Bring at least two Goblin Gliders that you acquire from the auction house or swindle from a trusted engineer.
Here is your first landing point …
Then head to the Shadowmoon Invasion. From there, jump southeast over the cliff and glide with the glider to a small floating island with a broken statue. Climb to the highest point of the island, jump off, and glide to the distant island with a house on it. Inside the house is a stuffed animal – Nuu. Summon Uuna and reunite her with her “friend”.
… to get to the next island!
Step 5: The Magic Wand
Next, travel to the Blood Mythic Islands. This is the second island in the starting area of the Draenei. At the Bloodwatch camp (coordinates 56 / 56), enter the house and summon Uuna. She will find the magic wand and tell you that she had one like that before. With this “weapon,” the journey continues.
Step 6: The Crown of Draenor
Use the hearthstone for your garrison and travel to the Shadowmoon Valley of the Warlords of Draenor expansion. Go to coordinates 56 / 41 and summon Uuna once more. She will take a crown of flowers and be happy.
Stay there for a while, as Uuna will be taken away by darkness after about two minutes. Tentacles will reach for her and pull her into the darkness.
Step 7: The Spirit Healer
Once Uuna is gone, you can take your chance to die at the next opportunity. Jump from a great height or let yourself fall from your flying mount to release your spirit. At the graveyard, talk to the spirit healer. He will have a new dialogue for you and mark you with the Mark of the Shadowlands.
Step 8: The Shadowlands
Now your journey leads you to Northrend in the Dragon Isles. Head to the shrine of the green dragons (to the south). In the screenshot, the spot is marked where you can see a crystal in the skull of a dragon. Click on this to enter the Shadowlands.
Step 9: The Rescue of Uuna
In complete darkness, you will meet Uuna, who first needs to be cheered up a bit. Use /cheer to get her attention. Then you must warm her: Create a campfire with your cooking profession. This will start a small mini-game.
From all sides, soul eaters press towards Uuna, wanting to devour her. You must keep the soul eaters away from Uuna. This can be done by running into the soul eaters, who will then be pushed back a bit. You must manage this for a while. If a creature reaches Uuna, she will be swallowed by darkness, and you will have to restart the game.
Important: Once the mini-game is completed, you will see the emote “Uuna hugs you.” Then you must immediately target Uuna and also “hug” her. Only then is the mini-game considered finished.
Step 10: The World Tour
Uuna’s soul is temporarily saved. You now have the opportunity to give Uuna a world tour and show her numerous places. This is the final step and requires you (with summoned Uuna) to visit the following locations:
The Valley of Eternal Blossoms: 8 / 58
Suramar, entrance to the Night Fortress: 62 / 83
Dalaran, Krasus landing spot: 74 / 46
Dragon Isles, Wyrmrest Temple: 57 / 54
Hyjal: 59 / 24
Kun-Lai: 44 / 52
Blackrock Mountain: 37 / 68
Shadowmoon Valley (Draenor), Karabor: 70, 46
Note: To visit Suramar, all quests of the Nightborne must be completed. Additionally, there seems to be a bug currently that the visit to Suramar does not count for some Alliance players. This issue should be fixed soon with a hotfix.
The Great Reward: Hugs!
The reward for all this effort is more emotional than material in nature. From now on, you can summon Uuna, and her appearance has changed a bit. She now wears the crown and wand from the journey. Furthermore, she now responds to the “/hug” emote and returns the hug.
Players were not sure if this was truly the end of the riddle and expected another step that might yield a mount or a toy. Jeremy “Muffinus” Feasel from Blizzard has already confirmed that “the hugs and gratitude of the girl are the reward.”
In an open letter, WildStar head Chad Moore assured that there is still a future for the colorful online role-playing game from Carbine in 2018. Additionally, Moore was satisfied with the course of 2017 in WildStar.
For Carbine’s fast-paced and colorful MMORPG WildStar, the year 2017 was a year full of important events. A whole slew of updates and events were introduced in the game in 2017. Among them were:
A housing competition and a recurring event for home building
In addition, there were the well-known events for Halloween, Christmas, and the Hoverboard zPrix. Carbine also gifted you a Level 50 hero!
Chad “Pappy” Moore.
WildStar head satisfied with 2017, looks forward to 2018!
Chad “Pappy” Moore, the head of WildStar, is therefore quite satisfied with the game and its performance in 2017 according to his open letter to the WildStar community. But what about the coming year? Does WildStar still have a future?
According to Chad Moore, definitely! Carbine and NCSoft are still behind the project. Therefore, the game will also be supported and developed in the foreseeable future.
What’s coming in 2018?
So WildStar will remain with us. However, Chad Moore did not give much detail about upcoming content this year in his post. He only confirmed that well-known events like Halloween or the Hoverboard zPrix will also return in 2018.
However, he (still) did not want to mention whether significant innovations will make it into the game. It remains exciting around WildStar.
In Destiny 2, Bungie promises exciting new content in 2018. And an annoying issue will soon be fixed …
Bungie released “This Week at Bungie,” the public letter to the community. In it, they usually make announcements or address current issues.
This week, however, the information in “This Week at Bungie” is quite limited. The developers primarily make promises. We summarize all the info.
Community Manager Cozmo first addresses the faction rally, where there are currently several issues:
Faction Tokens: A mechanic was installed that does not grant Guardians any further rewards from Lost Sectors for a certain time. It has been noted that this mechanic is too “disruptive”. From now on, players should receive loot each time they open a chest. More info on this will follow before the next rally starts. We addressed the Faction Token issue in more detail here.
Faction Weapons: Currently, faction engrams do not drop any new faction weapons of Season 2. Cozmo explains that this is intentional. The weapons will be made available gradually throughout the season. He apologizes once again for the lack of clear communication on this. They will inform players about how the rewards will behave for the next Iron Banner. You can read more about the missing faction weapons here.
Bungie is currently working on many things
Sandbox Design Lead Josh Hamrick also addresses the community:
The overhaul of the exotics is progressing well. They are working on it under the leadership of Jon Weisnewski, the senior game designer. This is expected to be introduced into the game in spring.
They discussed the balance adjustments expected for Season 3. More information about this will likely be available in the future.
Grant MacKay, gameplay designer at Bungie, has devised an exciting plan for the mods that will become more powerful and significant in the future.
And the rest of the crew, according to Hamrick, is working on “super exciting new content” that is intended to bring smiles to the Guardians’ faces before the year ends. And this content is just the beginning, Hamrick teases.
What this exciting content refers to can now be speculated on at will. Perhaps he means the innovations that have already been announced for autumn by game director Christopher Barrett, such as revisions of weapon slots, the Crucible playlists, and the introduction of masterwork exotics. But this could also be an early teaser for a major expansion expected at the end of the year. The future will tell.
Otherwise, there is another important piece of information in “This Week at Bungie”: The waypoint at Ikora Rey will finally be fixed. For weeks, it has been displayed in the Tower that she has a quest for you. But that is not the case. The annoying waypoint is expected to be fixed on January 30.
At the end of the blog post, Cozmo admits: “We realize that you are less interested in promises of updates, but more interested in the updates themselves.” More concrete information will likely follow next week.
The CEO of Activision Publishing, Eric Hirshberg, is leaving. In recent years, Hirshberg made a name for himself with statements about Destiny 2 and Call of Duty among players.
Every time someone from Activision commented on Destiny or Destiny 2, it was Eric Hirshberg. He told the US site Polygon back in November 2014 that Bungie was working on Destiny 2. Even earlier, Hirshberg had speculated that Destiny might come to PC, or maybe not. The PC is a great platform for Destiny, but there were already four platforms at launch.
A statement that should keep shooter fans on PC occupied for three years.
The man who promised us a robust pipeline of great content for Destiny 2
Hirshberg is the CEO of Activision Publishing and, as such, has only Activision Blizzard’s CEO, Bobby Kotick, above him.
As it is now known, Hirshberg will leave his position and Activision in March. That reports the business site Venturebeat with official statements from Hirshberg and Kotick.
Call of Duty, Skylanders, and Destiny – the milestones
Both he and his boss, Bobby Kotick, have only the best words for each other. For Hirshberg, the job at Activision was the opportunity to lead an outstanding team.
Kotick states that during Eric’s time as CEO, they achieved historic performance and great success. They will miss him, but Hirshberg leaves Activision in a fantastic position.
Hirshberg – master of marketing campaigns and franchises
Activision will now search for a successor for Hirshberg.
As a legacy of Hirshberg, how he viewed video games will likely stand out. For him, they were not products, but brands. During Hirshberg’s tenure, the release of Destiny in 2014 and Skylanders in 2013, a brand that connects toys with gaming, took place.
Impressive commercials for Call of Duty
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pblj3JHF-Jo
Hirshberg was at Activision for eight years. With the spectacular marketing campaign “There’s a soldier in all of us,” Hirshberg brought the shooter Call of Duty into mainstream consciousness in 2010, as Venturebeat knows.
The marketing campaign for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from 2012 is also considered a milestone. It promoted the idea that beginners and veterans can play together.
The Overwatch League is a still young league in the area of the also young e-sports. It is no wonder that not everything is running smoothly yet and the professionals still have to find themselves. Often they go too far. How should the league deal with it when its stars lose their nerves?
Anyone who has ever played a competitive game will know how stressful even a single match can be. From mild curses to heated rage-quits, reactions range when frustration breaks free.
If this happens to us in a quiet room, no one notices. But what if one is streaming their gaming and has viewers? And what if one is an Overwatch professional, contracted with a professional team, and it is expected of them to maintain composure at all times and in all places?
Young Men Under Steam – The Kettle Can Boil Over
Those in the spotlight as professionals break into new dimensions: As a young person, one is under constant observation, assessed, criticized by thousands, and must submit to the rules of the game, the community, and the team.
Yes, the professionals have chosen this life and the associated stress themselves – but it is no surprise when they eventually boil over.

Similarly, the owner and CEO of the Overwatch professional team “Dallas Fuel”, Mike Rufail, views this. In an interview with Kotaku during the Overwatch media event in LA, he expressed tolerance: “We embrace the idea that players remain who they are and how they are.” Aware that there are also hotheads in his own team.
The player “xQc” is considered the troubled child of the Dallas Fuel, having crossed the line twice.
The Case of xQc – New Country, Heap of Stress and Stream as a Vent
In the last two months of 2017 alone, Félix Lengyel aka xQc was banned twice for inappropriate behavior:
The second time xQc was banned in December for 7 days. He had “thrown” games in the stream, meaning he intentionally sabotaged and gave up.
Training, Streaming, Applying for Social Security Number
xQc is a 22-year-old who is not long in the professional business and is known for his hot-tempered nature. Just a few months ago, he moved to another country, had to rebuild his life: applying for a bank account and a social security number, getting used to life in a small apartment. Besides, he still trains hard and streams.
He stated that he didn’t get a ten-minute break, explaining to Kotaku that his sense of duty towards the league was too great to allow himself the smallest break. Instead of taking a break, he stressed himself in his streams and vented there.
This should not happen again – in the future, xQc prefers to turn off the stream rather than explode publicly.
xQc seems to be quite aware of his weakness. In a video, he appeared remorseful after his ban and also promised in the conversation with Kotaku that it would be a one-time thing.

Dallas Fuel colleague Brandon “Seagull” Larned advocates for more understanding: “You have such a huge audience that a one-time failure is made bigger than it is.” Everyone has bad nights and games. Seagull himself admits to having also blown up during streams.
“Felix just attracts the trolls because he reacts so strongly. His mistakes are called out more because he has a very emotional audience,” Brandon “Seagull” Larned about Félix “xQc” Lengyel
For Seagull, however, his outbursts had hardly any consequences, and they were received better by fans because Seagull is generally a calmer person than Lengyel, who is more easily forgiven for missteps.
The Difficult Balance Between Authenticity and Mass Appeal
CEO Rufail does not want to patronize his players or impose an image on them that does not correspond to their true nature – the fans would see through that anyway.
Meanwhile, the Overwatch League also lives off merchandise, and fans would hardly buy mugs with someone’s face on them whom they find unsympathetic or even unbearable. Finding the right balance is difficult. It is important to guide the players and steer them gently onto the right path.
What Rufail insists on, however, is humane behavior: Racist remarks, physical violence, or harassment, for example, are taboo. Common sense dictates this.
The Pressure is Immense
Both the CEO and the players themselves are now aware of the pressure they are under. For many, this level of pressure is still unfamiliar, but they want to learn from mistakes.
Lengyel, for example, has adopted a kind of “mental brake” that he wants to rely on when he feels he is about to explode again.
Guddy says: The Overwatch League and its players are still young and inexperienced. They make mistakes, but one must not forget that a huge pressure rests on them. This does not excuse inappropriate behavior, but at least it makes it understandable.
One can be curious to see how the league develops over time!

“We were completely destroyed! This monster is really evil.”
The testers from England agreed that the Nergigante is anything but a walk in the park. A tester mentioned that the Nergigante is unpredictable and her group first had to learn how it moves.
Other testers described how the monster wiped out about 90 percent of the hunters’ health with a single blow. One group was even completely destroyed and simply referred to the Nergigante as evil. It is emphasized that teamwork is a good prerequisite to take down the Nergigante.
The producer Ryozo Tsujimoto was also at the event. He referred to the Nergigante as the main quest of the third beta, which is why this monster will be particularly brutal. Tsujimoto reminds players that the quest timer will only be 15 minutes in the betaversion. In the full version, all hunters will of course have the normal 50 minutes to take down each monster.
Tsujimoto also pointed out that there will be global servers for Monster Hunter World and he can play with us in Europe from Japan.
The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) will soon receive the new dungeon DLC “Dragon Bones.” One of the new dungeons – the “Summit of the Scalecaller” – brings truly abhorrent enemies!
The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) will be the first DLC pack of 2018 to include the dungeon pack “Dragon Bones.” It features the two instances “Scalecaller Peak” and “The Summit of the Scalecaller.”
The Fallen Dragon Priestess and Her Stinking Followers!
The “Summit of the Scalecaller” is located in the mountains in the border area between Skyrim and the Orcs’ land. There, the fallen dragon priestess Zaan – the namesake Scalecaller – has settled in with her cult. Since her dragon lord Thurvokun was destroyed, she now serves the Daedric Prince Peryite, the Lord of Pestilence.
Thus, Zaan’s new cult is a stinking plague sect. This ensures that you will face some of the most disgusting bosses you have ever encountered in ESO. The most repulsive minions of Zaan are the Ogres Orzun the Stench and Rinaerus the Rancid.
Each of them is already disgusting enough, but when the two ogres meet, their stench will knock you out completely. So, it is advisable to keep the two stinkers as far apart as possible. A challenge for any team!
New Loot and Decorations for Housing!
As always, valuable rewards await you that will compensate you for your endured hardships. After defeating Zaan, there are unique titles, a new appearance, and trophies for your home.
A new armor set called “Jorvuld’s Guidance” can be looted, which will significantly enhance the stamina of you and your group. It extends buffs and shields.
In veteran mode, you’ll also receive helmets from Zaan’s mask set. Together with the matching shoulders, they improve your critical hits. Anyone who dares to enter the instance will also receive a helmet skin as a gift.
The State of the Game aired on January 18, 2018. It focused heavily on community creations, but also shared some game-relevant information.
Next week, on January 23 (Tuesday), the 4th global event in The Division will start. It is called Ambush and has the theme “Movement”. You will deal increased damage when you do not move. The other modifiers also revolve around whether you are standing still or running around.

Community Creations
In the rest of the livestream, the developers focused on the community and showcased works and cosplay directly from the agency. We embed some community creations here:
Here you see a series of cosplay shots reenacting scenes from The Division. This shows the agent helping a resident:

Just Survive, the survival arm of the zombie online game H1Z1, has experienced another wipe – and the players are not very happy about it.
Just Survive has had little luck lately. Many bugs mar the gaming experience, there are frequent wipes that erase all player progress, and the servers are often inaccessible. Additionally, there are many cheaters who take the fun away from others. This results in negative sentiment within the community. The game’s rating on Steam has recently dropped to “mostly negative”.
Patch brings a wipe
On January 16, a larger patch was deployed, mainly focusing on fixing bugs and introducing anti-cheat measures. Players had high hopes for this patch to finally experience a pleasant gaming experience. However, the update also brought another wipe, which was not well received in the official forum.
Reactions range from amusement to despair to anger. Some believe that the developers have only been making things worse lately. The patches do not bring what players hope for, and the wipes only lead to frustration. According to some in the community, Just Survive simply does not play well anymore and is hardly fun.
Developers apologize
The developers apologize for yet another wipe. The team had hoped until the last moment that they could deploy the patch without a wipe. But that did not work out.
There were simply too many cheaters who gained unfair advantages. However, the community has shown little willingness to make amends so far.

Is a Druid class planned for Diablo 3? These hints certainly suggest so.
The days when Diablo 3 was fresh are long gone; the game was released in 2012. Since then, many players only return when a new season begins, play for a week or two, and then turn to other games. Because there isn’t much new content in Diablo 3. Streamer Leviathan uses this “quiet period” of the game between two seasons and is on an interesting trail.
Druid in Diablo 3? The developers provide mysterious hints
In his video, streamer Leviathan shows many hints that indicate a Druid class in Diablo 3. Keep in mind that this is speculation.

First, Leviathan points out the Twitter account of a Diablo 3 developer, Sean White. In August 2017, Leviathan had a small conversation with Sean White on Twitter. This was opened by White with the sentence: “Disappointing. No one found the PTR secret!”
Shortly thereafter, after the PTR round was over, Leviathan replied to this tweet and asked what the players missed. White then wrote that the secret is still there but time is running out. He added: “With all the cool 2.6.1 Changes, Necro is still pretty nice miems, right?”
The words “Necro” and “miems” gave Leviathan an idea. After all, the PTR vendor in Diablo 3 is called Djank Mi’em. The secret must therefore have something to do with the Necro and the vendor.
When asked if one should buy a bag from the vendor that is not designed for the Necromancer, White finally replied “Bingo!”.
Actually, this bag is intended for all classes except the Necromancer. However, if you buy and open it with the Necro, a muddy parchment falls to the ground. Inspecting the parchment in your inventory reveals: The words are illegible due to the elements and something that looks like claw marks.
Elements and traces of claws? If that doesn’t scream “Druid”?! However, the words are illegible. This could mean that development has been shelved or is still in the future.
In Diablo 3, the wings state: “Let no Druid see you wearing these wings. They might believe you have killed one of their brothers.”
Now it’s your turn! Do you think Diablo 3 will get a new class and will it be the Druid? Or was all of this just a project that has now been completed? Could this also hint at what awaits us in a possible Diablo 4?
A new killer for Dead by Daylight has been teased. Apparently, the killer has been taken from SAW.
The entity from Dead by Daylight is bringing a new killer into its realm. A new trailer from the developers shows very little information, but it’s enough for real horror fans. A bear trap that closes with a time lock and the statement “Let’s play a game” – Let’s play a game.
All alarm bells are ringing for horror fans, as this sounds suspiciously like Jigsaw, the serial killer from the SAW series, who constantly invites his victims to “play” games that require them to face dangerous tasks that almost always end with the death of the participants.

Youtuber TydeTyme has taken the time to analyze the various SAW films and the trailer in detail. He does not expect us to see a puppet on a tricycle – that would be somewhat silly. Moreover, in the films, it is never the puppet itself that commits murders, but always the mastermind behind it, who uses the puppet only as a mouthpiece.
TydeTyme believes we will get the killer in a red robe with a pig mask who already performed the abductions in the first part of SAW. This would visually fit wonderfully with Dead by Daylight and certainly make for a creepy killer.
Regarding the killer’s abilities, there is still no information. However, it would be cool if the survivors had to solve some kind of puzzle before time runs out – this will surely be revealed in the coming days. As soon as the perks and abilities are known, you will find out here.

It is also known that the next DLC with Jigsaw will bring a new survivor – guaranteed a survivor from the SAW films.
What do you think of Jigsaw as the new killer? A cool idea to license this killer as well? Or would you rather see more “original” killers from the developers?
The competitive scene of Overwatch is booming and the viewer numbers from the Overwatch League seem to confirm this.
This is definitely impressive: According to Blizzard, more than 10 million fans watched the matches during the first league week. The numbers are spread across Twitch, Major League Gaming, and several streaming services in China, such as NetEase CC, Panda TV, or ZhanQi TV.
On the first day, an average viewer count of 408,000 per minute was recorded, and over the week it was 280,000. Blizzard emphasized that devices on which multiple viewers followed the tournament were counted as only one in this case.
The company also announced that tickets for the Blizzard Arena in L.A. were completely sold out for the entire week.
But this is just the beginning: The Overwatch League will be broadcast until June, with the finals scheduled for July. So it will be interesting to see whether Overwatch can maintain or even surpass these numbers.
You can read about the impact the League has on the Overwatch community in our article here:
Hyper Universe (PC) dares to try an interesting experiment. It aims to mix MOBA elements with Beat’em Up battles. The online game is now officially playable – no more early access phase and no beta. Here is the link for the free download on Steam.
Hyper Universe – Online, Beat’em Up and primarily beautifully quirky
A mix of MOBA and Beat em Up? Is that even possible? As Hyper Universe shows, it works. Even if it sounds unusual. The game principle is relatively straightforward:
You choose a hero from a total of 41 characters. These have different powers that you can further develop.
Together with a team of other players, you fight in the side-scrolling perspective through the maps and beat up the enemies as in a Beat em Up, while trying to destroy the opposing team and their towers.
Official Launch of the Genre Mix Hyper Universe
At the official launch of the game, there are some new features in Hyper Universe:
Six new Hypers (heroes): One new Hyper per class has been added: Gulunba (Tank), Camilla (Support), Perseus (Specialist), Han (Striker), Sonya (Bruiser) and Tae’guk (Assassin)
Performance System: It is now possible to participate in weekly and monthly missions to earn rewards like Hyper Cubes and Game Points (GP). To participate, you need to show achievements like wins in matches or certain ranks in various statistics. Some missions can be repeated multiple times.
In-game Shop: In the shop, you can find Hypers, inventory expansions and cosmetic skins. You can spend GP or NX Credits that you acquire through your account.
New Equipment: There are four new equipment items: War Horn, Star Stalker’s Dagger, Executioner’s Scythe and Highwayman’s Helm
Login Rewards: Those who log in by January 24 and complete a game against AI or other players will receive 30 Hyper Cubes, 6 Hyper Coupons, and 1 Hyper Skin Coupon.

Anthem aims to surpass Destiny 2 – at least in terms of area size. But this comes with other sacrifices.
One of the most eagerly awaited games of 2018 is Anthem by BioWare. After the developers fell from grace with Mass Effect: Andromeda, much responsibility rests on the upcoming title, which is already being referred to as a “Destiny competitor.”
This is precisely why Anthem must continuously compare itself to Destiny (2) and is often used as a benchmark by fans from both sides. A question arose on Reddit whether Anthem will be a “true” open-world game. That would mean there are no real loading times and the world seamlessly transitions into itself.
Open World like “A Mix of Destiny and The Division”
Brenon Holmes from BioWare addressed this and explained that it is a “mix of The Division and Destiny” and even drew comparisons to Destiny. He noted that Destiny has a “pretty cool” server technology, which divides individual areas into smaller sections, allowing for a seamless transition.
However, for Anthem, a different approach is desired, as a different technology is used. This will result in the areas being “considerably larger.” However, this will likely mean that there will occasionally be loading times between the different zones.
The exact details are not yet worked out, which is why one should not take these words too literally.
In the meantime, it has become a tradition that each patch of World of Warcraft features one puzzle or another. Even in patch 7.3.5, the developers have hidden some content that should remain out of sight for most players – at least for a while.
The big puzzle of patch 7.3.5 is the spirit of the dead Draenei girl Uuna. This was introduced as a “pet” in patch 7.3.5. Just getting to the pet is not that easy, as Uuna’s doll drops with just under 6% from the rare mob “The Multifaceted Devourer” on Argus. This is a small miniboss, whose summoning one must unlock first. Since rare mobs on Argus drop loot only once per character per day, it can take a while to obtain Uuna.
Spooky: A little ghost girl as a pet!
The dataminers had already discovered on the PTR that Uuna has received new phrases that she says in various situations.
The goal of the search team from the “Discord Secret Finding” server, which had also previously solved the other puzzles, such as the Thoughtworm of the Puzzle Master, is clear: To figure out how to get Uuna to say the different phrases.
Some of these phrases have already been deciphered. For instance, when you bring Uuna to the Naaru A’Dal in Shattrath, she says:
“What is that? A light in the darkness! It is so bright …” “It is too bright! Too bright! Ouch!”
Force Uuna’s reactions with emotes
Additionally, you can tease Uuna a bit and scare the poor Draenei girl by showering her with various emotes.
The emote “/whistle” triggers the following:
“Hello? Who is there? I heard you!” “Who are you? Can you help me?” “It is so dark! I can see nothing!”
If you scream at her with a “/roar”, Uuna reacts in fright:
“Ah! A monster!” “Help! HELP!”
Then, Uuna disappears, and you have to summon her again to “work on” her with a “/cry”.
“Are you sad too? Did you get lost, just like me?” “At least we are together now. We … just don’t know where we are.” “But you are my friend. I know it will be okay.” “I wish I could see better. It is always so dark here!”
Not all steps are solved yet, and it is suspected that in the end, there might even be a whole quest and a scenario waiting – with the reward still unknown. Once the puzzle is solved, you will of course find a guide to the whole thing on Mein-MMO.de.
What do you think of these puzzles that Blizzard has smuggled back into the patch? A cool thing or are you not interested in Uuna at all?
In Devstream 104, the developers discussed Warframe (PC, PS4, Xbox) and the new frame Khora. The release of the cat lady was supposed to coincide with a rework of the damage types. This seems to be more difficult than expected, which is why Khora is already receiving a rework. You can find out what else was shown in the stream here.
In the last Devstream 104 of Warframe things got really intense! The developers’ live stream had to be abruptly ended due to a fire alarm. The staff was required to evacuate the studio and went outside. The stream was cut short, and therefore there is still some information missing that Digital Extremes would have liked to provide.
Nevertheless, there was time to introduce a few exciting developments in Warframe:
The new Warframe Khora receives a rework before her release
The Prime Vault opens up, allowing three Prime frames to be farmed for a limited time
Archwings are a thing of the past! Tenno will soon ride on Dargyns, the Grineer’s combat ships, in the Plains
The new round of TennoGen is here for PC. These are skins for Warframe designed by fans through the Steam Workshop
These TennoGen skins are now in Warframe on PC
Khora’s release could still take a while – It’s related to “Damage 2.5”
Khora will be Warframe No. 35. It was already known that she would not be released until 2018. Devstream 104 made it clear that the developers are still dissatisfied with Khora’s abilities.
Khora’s rework is connected to a major overhaul of the three physical damage types (Impact, Puncture, and Slash) taking place this year. This overhaul is called “Damage 2.5”. Khora is supposed to switch between the three physical damage types on missions with one of her skills.
The current issue is that the physical damage type “Slash” dominates. The three types are supposed to receive a better balance with the rework, so that all are relevant.
Digital Extremes was concerned that no one would experiment with Khora’s damage type switches, as “Slash” is currently so strong. After Digital Extremes announced the plans for “Damage 2.5” in the dev workshop, the developers received feedback from players. Based on the feedback, the original plans for “Damage 2.5” are being thrown out and revised.
As a result, Khora has been uncoupled from “Damage 2.5” and will receive a pre-rework before her release. However, it is still unknown what the rework will look like.
Put the Archwings away on the Plains! Players will soon be able to ride the Dargyns of the Grineer
The Plains of Eidolon are a large open-world map in Warframe, where footpaths can be quite lengthy, even for super-fast space ninjas.
Archwings are mechanical wings that allow players to soar high into the skies. However, you need to build the wings first to use them on the Plains. This problem will soon be a thing of the past.
Because players will soon be able to hop into the Grineer’s Dargyns and take off with the combat ships! This is a bit like riding a hovercraft. When players exit the combat ships, the Dargyns will fall to the ground and can be used again later.
The lower image shows Community Manager Rebecca Ford flying through the Plains with the Dragyn. Judging by her expression, it looks like fun!
The Prime Vault opens for these three Prime frames on February 6
If a certain item lands in the Prime Vault’s safe, players will no longer have access to it. However, sometimes certain items can be retrieved from the Prime Vault at specific times. This will be done via Prime Vault packages. The packages can contain Prime items and exclusive Prime Access accessories.
On February 6, the Prime Vault will open for:
Ember Prime
Loki Prime
Frost Prime
These three Prime Warframes will then be available to players again for a limited time.
TennoGen 11 is now available on PC and brings new community skins
The first round of TennoGen 11 has been released on PC. A total of 3 rounds are planned to release the community skins from TennoGen 11. This time, 34 skins made it to Warframe. That’s too many to release all at once.
What else was revealed in Devstream 104 about Warframe?
In addition to the mentioned plans, the developers mentioned:
Morality system: Anyone who completes the story quests in Warframe encounters the morality system. Along the way, players have the opportunity to make moral decisions. However, these have yet to impact gameplay. The morality system is planned to be revised in the future. The goal is for players to feel the consequences of their decisions much faster.
New content: Story quest and new open-world map. The team is currently working hard on the new story quest, which has already been initiated on PC with an epilogue. In addition, they are working on an open-world map that is supposed to be larger than the Plains of Eidolon.
New augment mods for Titania, Harrow, Nidus, and Equinox: These new modifications were supposed to be presented during the stream. However, a fire alarm interrupted the team, and they had to evacuate the studio. The stream was cut off here. Therefore, it is currently only known which frames will receive new augment mods.
