At the Summer Game Fest, Dreamhaven released a trailer for Wildgate. The first-person space shooter will soon launch its first beta and is set to release in July 2025.
What kind of game is this? Wildgate is a first-person space shooter, similar to Overwatch or the recently failed Concord, which focused on similar themes and gameplay. Before the actual first-person part begins, players must dismantle the opponents with their own spacecraft. Once accomplished, the real PvP begins, where you and your team must eliminate an opposing team.
The game is developed by Moonshot Games, celebrating their debut as a game developer. It is published by Dreamhaven, a publisher founded in 2020 by Mike Morhaime, one of the original co-founders of Blizzard.
Wildgate is set to release on July 22, 2025. Before that, there will be an Open Beta on Steam.
You can get a first impression of the game with the trailer from the Summer Game Fest:

Treasure Hunt in Team-based Space Racing
What will the gameplay of Wildgate be like? The first-person space shooter is based on several teams in Crews of four competing against each other. The goal is to find an artifact in the dangerous zone Typhon Reach and escape through the Wildgate – or eliminate all opponents.
You can choose from currently five different Prospectors, each with their own abilities:
Venture: Regenerates health outside the spacecraft
Sammo: Defender with healing abilities
Sal: Engineer with repair and recycling abilities
Ion: Close combat specialist with high damage
Mops: Fast stealth expert
There are a total of four different ship types for the All-Odyssey:
Hunter: Light and agile
Bastion: Heavily armored with high security
Privateer: Firepower
Scout: Fast and maneuverable
Players can compete in various modes, including standard PvP matches with 5 crews. Additionally, there are matches against NPCs, a shooting range for practice, and a tutorial.
How can you participate in the beta? The Open Beta is already available via Steam. Currently, a demo can be installed through it. The actual beta is set to start on the 9th and will be live until June 16, 2025. No further steps are required besides the download via Steam.
During the Summer Game Fest 2025, Square Enix presented their new game Killer Inn. The game primarily focuses on fun in multiplayer, mixing elements from Among Us, Werewolf, and a detective game.
What kind of game is this? At the Summer Game Fest 2025, Square Enix showcased Killer Inn for the first time. At first glance, the game looks like Among Us, with a different perspective and prettier graphics, but deeper mechanics lurk within the game compared to the well-known indie title.
As seen in the trailer, the victims of the killer can defend themselves, and the game almost resembles a third-person shooter.
You can see the first trailer for the game here:
Start video
Trailer zum Action-Game KILLER INN, in dem ihr in einem Mörder-Mystery-Spiel landet
You can aggressively confront the perpetrator, but be careful
How is Killer Inn supposed to work? A round of Killer Inn starts with 24 players. The players are divided into “wolves” and sheep. The wolves must eliminate the sheep, and the sheep must find out who the wolves are. Unlike Among Us, there is no voting to eliminate the killer; you must kill him.
The combat in the game is crucial. In a third-person view, you can defend yourself with various weapons and items or use them in combat. Stealth options and traps are also visible. The 20 playable characters have different abilities.
You should be careful, though. If you accidentally kill a hunted person while being hunted yourself, you will die as well. You should know how to lie well or be able to see through your fellow players. Each corpse brings various clues that can reveal the hunter – such as hair color or footprints.
Apart from direct combat, you can interact with other players in safe zones at NPCs, share weapons, or steal equipment. No one can be killed in the safe zones. These NPCs can also provide you with important clues about the killers.
It should also be possible to win without killing, by escaping the location as the hunted. However, you must complete difficult puzzles and challenges. Of course, there is always the risk that you might meet your end.
In the game itself, you can level up through quests and earn currency. You can find loot in boxes and the environment that is meant to support you in the murder mystery. Additionally, there are merchants in the area where you can purchase weapons.
At the Summer Game Fest, the sci-fi shooter ARC Raiders finally received a release date and presented a new trailer. We’ll show you what to expect in the game.
When will ARC Raiders be released? At the Summer Game Fest, not only was a new trailer for the sci-fi shooter shown, but the release was also announced. According to this, ARC Raiders is set to be released on October 30, 2025, for Steam, Epic Games Store, NVIDIA GeForce Now, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
It hides an extraction adventure that you can play in multiplayer. We will give you a brief overview of what else to expect.
Many extraction shooters have disappeared into oblivion in recent years, but ARC Raiders could finally celebrate a success with the genre. Recently, a well-known MMO expert explained why ARC: Raiders succeeds at what Marathon cannot achieve.
You can watch the new trailer here:

What kind of game is ARC Raiders? The game resembles the popular Escape from Tarkov and is meant to allow players to find their own path and write their own story. You take on the role of Raiders, rogue gunslingers, who must assert themselves against ARC machines and rival Raiders in a devastated world.
In solo or squad modes, you can team up with up to three players and secure valuable resources for your new home called Speranza. Each run is intended to offer fresh experiences and provide players with diverse experiences through a constant gamble between risk and reward.
At release, problems and obstacles will also be addressed that players submitted as feedback in the last tech test. The goal is to eliminate as many bugs as possible and improve performance to the best of their ability. Additionally, fine-tuning of game balance and economy will be made until the game is released.
In the future, the game is expected to be expanded further, with more adventures and locations.
The loot shooter The First Descendant celebrated a strong release in 2024, but since then has lost a large portion of its players. Now, a new update fulfills a pressing need from the community.
What game is it about? The First Descendant is a free-to-play loot shooter with 4-player co-op, in which you embody various classes – the so-called Descendants – and defend humanity against the malevolent aliens “Vulgus”.
The Descendants all have different abilities that allow for a unique gameplay experience. Ajax is a tank with effective shields, Freyna is a damage dealer with poison attacks, and Yujin is a classic healer, who deals rather low damage.
The First Descendant brings one thing that fans wished for at release
What wish are the developers fulfilling? Not much is known about the upcoming update yet, as more information will be revealed at a showcase on June 12. However, the developers have already mentioned three highlights of the third season:
The massive Axion Plains field
A new Colossus Field Raid
A hover bike for transportation
Especially the hover bike could delight many players. Already at release, there was a desire in the community for mounts or vehicles to be added to the shooter, as these were entirely missing. Since players are often sent back and forth between different objectives within a mission, they spend a lot of time wandering. This can take a lot of time when farming materials, time that players would prefer to use for the grind for gear. A vehicle like the hover bike can accelerate the gameplay loop.
What about the shooter? The First Descendant was released in summer 2024 as a free-to-play game for Steam and PlayStation and Xbox and has since been regularly updated with new content. However, the heyday of the shooter has been over for months. While the game had up to 264,000 players on Steam in July 2024 (127,000 on average) and the lead designer had to apologize to fans for the success, there have only been an average of 6,000-10,000 players online in recent months.

During the Summer Game Fest, a new shooter RPG with MMO elements was announced. And it offers one of the best features from The First Descendant.
What game is it? The announced game is The CUBE, according to the developers, an MMO shooter RPG set in the Atomic Universe, which also includes Atomic Heart. Its focus is a massive, floating structure that is titular for the MMO shooter and is said to represent the center of the story.
The game is currently in development for PC and consoles and is expected to offer a profound story and a novel, rotating world, especially tactical combat and innovative technology. Additionally, expect character visuals in the style of The First Descendant – with form-fitting outfits.

Save Humanity on the Mysterious Cube
What can one expect from The CUBE? The story takes place several years after that of Atomic Heart, in which the world faces a new evil. The namesake cube is said to represent a mysterious structure as the epicenter of dangerous phenomena that must be explored to save humanity.
Superficially, it is said to simply be a geometrically perfect structure that is haunted by dangerous and malicious enemies within. Players must work their way to its core to uncover its secrets – if you fail, humanity also perishes.
Moreover, the game is expected to offer the following features:
A profound story in the Atomic Universe
A constantly rotating world with various layers and corners that are supposed to provide diverse and varied scenarios
A large world with different biomes that you can explore
Intensive and tactical combat with a wide range of different weapons and skills, deadly enemies, and relentless bosses that you should prepare for well
An innovative split-rendering system where movements in the environment are designed to make the world more dynamic and seamless, and multiplayer is meant to run more synchronously
A release date or period is not yet known. However, you can already add the game to your wishlist on Steam.
Chrono Odyssey will be the most important MMORPG of 2025. At the Summer Game Fest, a new trailer and the announcement of a playtest were released.
What kind of game is this? Chrono Odyssey is an open-world action MMORPG being developed by Chrono Studio. The publisher is Kakao Games, which is set to release the dark fantasy game for PC and consoles.
A core feature is the so-called Chronotector, which allows players to manipulate time. This will be relevant in combat, as well as when navigating through the world. It is now known that there will be 18 different weapon types and a total of six different classes.
In general, the game focuses on both solo and MMORPG-type group content. There will be a PvPvE system, dungeons, world bosses, and more. At the Summer Game Fest, the playtest for June was announced, along with the release of a new trailer:

At the Summer Game Fest, a new Soulslike was announced that recalls Bloodborne with firearms and features a catchy metal soundtrack.
What game is it? Mortal Shell II, the sequel to the title of the same name, will be released in 2026. It is an action RPG with a ruthless combat system, as known from Soulslike games. Mortal Shell II is set to be released for Steam, PS5, and Xbox.
The game is a standalone sequel and follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, promising to make the battles even faster and more merciless.
The trailer features various warriors with different weapons battling against monstrous and gigantic opponents reminiscent of Doom and classic Soulslikes. Weapons range from classic swords to axes to firearms. All accompanied by a hard-hitting metal sound.

Take control of fallen warriors
What can you expect in the game? You will take on the role of a Harbingers – a being that must reclaim the stolen eggs of the Undermether now ruthlessly guarded by grotesque and dangerous creatures.
You can take control of the corpses of fallen warriors. Throughout the ravaged world, you will find their remains and can harness their power and master their abilities. You can adapt them to your own preferred combat style and build the perfect character.
The game offers an open world connected by wounded paths. If you stray from them and face the dangers that lurk there, you can score new warriors, deep story elements, and powerful loot.
The world offers you various biomes and over 60 different dungeons that present you with challenging trials. Unlike its predecessor, Mortal Shell II does away with traditional stamina bars and instead relies on dynamic execution maneuvers.
Anyone interested can register on the Mortal Shell homepage for the upcoming beta and may have the chance to try the game. Otherwise, you will have to wait until 2026.
On the night of June 7, 2025, new announcements, trailers, and reveals for upcoming video games will be presented as part of the Summer Game Fest 2025. We will show you the trailers you definitely shouldn’t miss.

What kind of game is this? The action RPG Mortal Shell 2 is a standalone sequel featuring a relentless combat system where you control warriors, topple false gods, and save a desolate world.

In Fortnite there will be a big live event for the end of Chapter 6: Galactic Battle where fans will be able to destroy the Death Star. To make sure you don’t miss the event, we will show you all the important dates related to it.
When does the event start? The event starts on Saturday, June 7th at 8:00 PM German time. At 6 PM, two hours before the start, you can already find a separate tab in the modes menu that belongs to the event.
It’s important that you log in a few hours before the actual start of the event. In the past, it has often happened that fans could not participate in live events because countless players rushed the servers. The result: queues and crashes.
So try to log in 2-3 hours before the start and secure a server spot.
The Star Wars season is coming to an end with a big event. Here’s what you missed:

What kind of event is it? In this event, fans will be tasked with destroying the Death Star over the map of Chapter 6 Season 3. Emperor Palpatine wants to destroy the current map, and to prevent that from happening, fans will have to team up in a squad of four players to thwart the evil plan of the Sith.
Are there rewards? There are indeed. If you log in between June 3rd and June 10th by 3 PM, you will receive two items from the Star Wars universe. These include:
Loading screen “Attack on the Death Star” featuring Fish Stick
Pickaxe “Mercury Combat Staff” from Captain Phasma
You don’t have to do anything else because you will receive the items immediately after logging in during this period.
Where can I watch? There are many well-known streamers famous for their Fortnite streams. So it’s very likely that you can experience the event with them. Here are some channels:
Is there server downtime after the event? It’s hard to say for sure. It is possible that Fortnite might shut down its servers immediately after the live event and continue the downtime on Sunday, June 8th. This has happened several times in the past.
Epic Games might let the downtime run overnight and then activate the servers again around noon on the weekend so fans can enjoy the new content.
Since June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 is available, but not everyone is enthusiastic about the release. Many users are particularly frustrated with retailers who are unable to process sales properly. One user had to come up with something special just to be able to buy a Switch 2.
One user reports on Reddit that he was at MediaMarkt at the launch to buy a Nintendo Switch 2. He had ordered a console, but he was missing the pickup confirmation for the online purchase. Therefore, he wanted to alternatively buy one directly in the store.
However, the staff at MediaMarkt denied him the purchase, stating, “You have ordered, so you must wait for the delivery of your order.”

The mother-in-law has to buy the Switch 2 because the user is not allowed to buy it himself
To still get his console, the user came up with a plan: he called his mother-in-law, who promptly rushed to help him. The annoyed user explains:
[I just] quickly called my mother-in-law. “Hey, come to MediaMarkt and buy me something!” I used the waiting time to walk over to the ATM and withdrew 500 Euros. 15 minutes later, she pulled up. To make sure the “saleswoman” at MediaMarkt did not see that we know each other, I waved her over, discreetly handed her the money, and told her what she needed to buy.
Five minutes later, I had the console bundle in my hands, could of course cancel my online order, immediately got my money back for that, and made my way home with a smile while somewhat stunned.
User experiences when buying the Switch 2 are very mixed
How have other users fared? The results and responses are very mixed. German users report very differently about their experiences in the German Nintendo Reddit. Many get their Switch 2 without problems in retail, while others are upset.
One person explained that their local MediaMarkt had opened all consoles, performed a “first setup,” and charged 30 Euros extra for the service. An action that many users view very critically in the thread on Reddit.
In Dune: Awakening you can import created characters into your character editor or share them with other players. We show you how it works and what you should pay attention to.
The character editor in Dune: Awakening offers you numerous options to create a customized avatar. So you don’t have to completely rebuild your character from the beta, you can simply import it from the game files. You can also add pre-made characters or those of other players to your editor.
Here you can read how it works and what you should pay attention to.
Start video
Dune: Awakening – Welche Klasse ist zum Start am stärksten?
How to import a character
When you are in the character editor, you will see a button labeled “Import” in the lower right corner. Click on it.
Here you will find the button for your import.
Then a selection box appears, where you can choose the file of your desired character. These characters can be created before release using the character creation and benchmarking tool on Steam or taken from the Beta or Early Access data.
The pre-made characters are displayed there only with their filenames ending in .json. So you may need to experiment a bit if you have multiple characters, or know exactly which file belongs to which character.
If you then click on the corresponding filename, the character will be automatically imported, and you can take it over or continue to customize it.
How to share characters
If you look closely at the selection window, you will see that a file path is indicated above the filename. This is often located in a folder named “Documents” and is labeled “Dune Awakening”.
In this folder, you will find all the json files of your saved characters. You can also send these to friends or other players. If your friends then place them in the corresponding folder, they can import your characters into their editor. Conversely, you can also add characters from other players if you place their files in your folder.
What to do in case of problems?
What should I do if it doesn’t work? Many players have found that it worked if they restarted their game once. Sometimes it also helps to delete the files and re-add them – caution: Don’t forget to copy and backup first!
Some players also report that it helped them to only place the json file in the folder that they want to import and keep the rest somewhere else.
Once you have imported your character and finished customizing it, you can almost get started. If you are still unsure about your starting class, we have a guide for you on which class is suitable for whom and which are the best for starting: Dune: Awakening: The best classes in ranking for a good start in the survival MMO

In Dune: Awakening you must drink regularly to stay alive. Early in the game, there are only a few ways to get water. We explain how to filter blood with a blood purifier to create water.
What is a blood purifier? The blood purifier is a crafting device in your base that allows you to filter blood. To operate it, you first need a base and power. Then, you can easily place the device using the building tool from the build menu. When you hold down the left mouse button, you will build the blood purifier at the previously selected location.
Here you can see which class is the best choice to start in Dune: Awakening:
Start video
Dune: Awakening – Welche Klasse ist zum Start am stärksten?
How to purify blood in the game
What is needed? To filter blood, you need not only the blood purifier in your base but also the appropriate tool to harvest blood. For this, you need to carry both the blood extractor and enough blood bags for storage. Both items can be cheaply crafted at a factory gate.
Once you have both items, you just need the blood. It comes from the enemies you find all over Arrakis. After you defeat them in combat, you can unpack the blood extractor and draw the blood from them.
The better your blood extractor, the higher the yield.
The better your blood bag, the more blood the item can hold.
With your full blood bags, you must then make your way back to your base. Once there, you empty the blood bags in the blood purifier’s menu, and the filtering begins. The filtering process may take some time, so it’s best to start it right when you return home from your adventure.
Here you see a blood purifier at work.
How do I get the water? The blood purifier slowly filters the water. You can drink directly from the device during the ongoing process. To do this, stand in front of it and hold down the action button (E).
If you want to take the water with you, you need another suitable container. In Dune: Awakening, there is the so-called literjon, which functions like a water bottle and can also be placed in the action bar for quick use.
Water is essential for characters in Dune: Awakening. Later in the game, there are simpler, automated processes to obtain the precious liquid. If you want to set up your base nicely, you should definitely secure the Twitch drops: Dune: Awakening – All Twitch Drops you can currently receive

You should now receive a notification that the controller has been synchronized with the Switch 2.
Finally, you can detach the USB cable and use the controller wirelessly. Nintendo Switch 2 and Pro Controller should now be connected.
If you want to synchronize the controller with the Switch 2 in tabletop mode for the first time, you will need a different USB cable. Because the Switch 2 only has two USB-C ports and no USB-A port.
Note: For the initial setup, you need to connect the controller with the cable to activate Bluetooth on the controller.
To end synchronization between Switch 2 and Pro Controller: Activate airplane mode in your Switch 2 settings and set the Bluetooth setting to “Off”. Once airplane mode is activated, the controller’s synchronization will be disabled.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be released on June 5, 2025, and will bring a lot of innovations and features, especially compared to the original Switch.

Dune: Awakening launched its Early Access yesterday and now brings the first patch, which seemed to have surprised many players with its server down.
What is this patch? Patch 1.1.0.5 brings a hotfix, announced yesterday shortly after 10:00 AM CEST (via X), which probably went unnoticed by many players.
Because on Reddit many users are asking for an in-game timer or similar reminders for the server downtime, as they missed the announcement.
What’s in the hotfix you can learn here.

All content of 1.1.0.5 Hotfix 1
This is what the hotfix brought into the game: In addition to an improvement in general server stability, a new pop-up notification was added that appears when a player clicks on the “Private” tab in the server browser to inform them that private servers are managed by external third parties.
Additionally, the following issues were fixed:
A problem was fixed where the menu of certain player base placement elements would not load when the player rapidly switched between placement elements using the Q and E keys.
A problem was fixed that sometimes suggested players a server that was not the closest one in the region.
A problem was fixed that caused players to get stuck in the boss room of the imperial test station #002 by removing the pentashield doors.
A problem was fixed that sometimes caused NPCs in the Arrakeen social center to get stuck in place.
The patch has now been implemented and the servers are back online. You can directly play with the new improvements if you have access to Early Access. You can obtain this if you are the owner of the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition.
On June 5th, Dune: Awakening launched on Steam. The survival game debuted at number 1 on the Steam top-selling list, even surpassing Elden Ring: Nightreign. However, some players couldn’t play the game at launch.
How is Dune: Awakening being received? Dune: Awakening has just launched in Early Access and directly dominates the top seller charts on Steam. It stands ahead of Counter-Strike 2 and Elden Ring: Nightreign, which also had a great many players at release.
However, Dune: Awakening has not yet surpassed the release peak of Elden Ring: Nightreign. There are good reasons for this: on one hand, the Dune game is currently still in Early Access, so those who didn’t purchase any of the special editions must wait for the launch.
On the other hand, there were issues with the server capacities of Dune: Awakening at launch. You can read about this in this news.

Overloaded servers and review bombing
Why couldn’t some players play? Firstly, buyers of the standard version currently cannot start the game. Secondly, there seemed to be issues for all players who paid for Early Access in terms of connecting to a server:
In a now-closed Reddit post, players shared their launch issues. The most upvoted comment expresses frustration about the lack of server space: Not having enough space on the servers for a strictly limited release looks really bad (via Reddit). Reddit user PugnansFidicen agrees in a comment: Did they really run out of server space for preorder/Deluxe Edition buyers?
However, during the night, Funcom reportedly opened new servers according to commenter Barnhard (via Reddit). This capacity issue seems to have been resolved at least for the moment. According to SteamDB, the peak number of concurrent players reached 93,634 in Dune: Awakening at 9 PM our time. The survival MMO launched with 79,410 concurrent players.
The quick response is also reflected in the reviews on Steam: while Dune: Awakening initially started “mostly negative,” it now looks significantly brighter.
Praise for building and server issues – Dune: Awakening on Steam
How do Steam players currently find Dune: Awakening? The reviews for Dune: Awakening have improved. The game currently stands at Very Positive on Steam with over 3,300 reviews (as of 1:30 PM).
Players have given plenty of praise, including for the good implementation of the Dune setting. Additionally, it is often mentioned that the survival elements are successful. Base building is also praised, and positive comparisons to Conan Exiles are frequently made.
However, there is still negative feedback. The partially fixed server issues and longer wait times until login are particularly highlighted. Gameplay-wise, the combat system feels clunky. Solo players struggle with wait times for resource respawns.
The official release date of the game for standard edition buyers is June 10, 2025. Until then, the developers have time to optimize server capacities and process initial feedback. If you want to start in the game this weekend or from Tuesday, we actually have all the important info in 2 minutes for you to prepare.

In this event, Gigantamax-Liberlo is waiting for you. To challenge the strong monster, you have time from Saturday, June 7, 2025, at 6:00 AM until Sunday, June 8, 2025, at 9:00 PM. Collectors can look forward to an increased shiny chance for 2 Pokémon during the event.

Best counters against Gigantamax-Liberlo
Which attackers are good against Liberlo? Liberlo only has the Fire type and is therefore susceptible to attacks from the Ground, Rock, and Water types. So focus on these types for your attackers. Based on the current monsters that have a Dynamax and Gigantamax form, you should use the following Pokémon:
Gigantamax-Kingler with any fast move
Dynamax-Inteleon with Water Gun
Dynamax-Stalobor with Mud Shot or Mud Slap
Dynamax-Wulaosu (flowing style) with Waterfall
Dynamax-Kingler with Bubble
Gigantamax-Blastoise with any fast move
Which defenders are good against the monster? Besides attacking monsters, you also need defending Pokémon. You should especially focus on using the following Pokémon:
Blastoise
Charizard
Zapdos
Raikou
Gengar
How can the monster be defeated most effectively? Gigantamax battles are very challenging. Therefore, you should have many trainers with you. Four trainers make a team. You should definitely coordinate within your team who takes on which role (attacker, healer, shield).
During the battle, you should first use a defending monster to absorb Liberlo’s attacks well and charge your Dynamax meter. Once it’s filled, switch to your attackers or the monsters you deploy according to your role and execute your Dynamax attacks. After that, switch back to your defenders and fill your Dynamax meter again.
Also remember to level up your monsters as much as possible and to learn and level up Dynamax attacks to get the most out of your Pokémon in battle and increase your chances of a victorious outcome against Liberlo.
Which monsters have an increased shiny chance? If you encounter a Kastadur or a Legios during the event, pay close attention. Both Pokémon have an increased chance to appear as shiny.
Which Pokémon are available in the event? During the event, you can encounter various Pokémon in the wild, in raids, and in field research.
In the wild:
Meowth*
Thwackey*
Kastadur*
Galar-Flapulon*
Golbit*
Blipp
Palimpalim* (rare)
Tanhel* (rare)
Legios* (rare)
In 1-star raids:
Meowth*
Tanhel*
Kastadur*
In 3-star raids:
Galar-Flapulon*
Legios*
In field research:
Meowth*
Palimpalim*
Kastadur*
Legios
All Pokémon marked with a * can also be obtained as shiny
What bonuses are available during the event? In addition to the increased shiny chance for Kastadur and Legios, the following bonuses are active during the event:
5,000 additional experience points for successfully completing a raid
Collector limit for Dyna particles increased to 1,600
8-fold amount of Dyna particles from energy sources
Collector challenges
For $1.99 (about €2), you can also purchase a limited-time research. Here you will receive encounters with Kastadur and Legios in addition to 5 premium battle passes.

The upcoming survival MMO EVE Frontier presents a unique opportunity where you will never run out of playable content.
What game is it? EVE Frontier is the latest game from CCP Games, the developer studio behind the well-known MMORPG EVE Online. The game is set to become a survival MMO that aims to offer a lot of freedom and sandbox mechanics.
The aim of the game is – as is typical for survival games – to survive in space while exploring the vastness of the universe. Players are expected to have the option to permanently change the world through blockchain technology.
A release date for EVE Frontier is currently not known, but those who want to take an early look at the MMO can purchase Founder Access. Upon its full release, EVE Frontier is expected to be free-to-play.

Too little content for greedy players
What is the problem? Many online games face the issue that they cannot deliver new content as quickly as players can consume the existing content. Often, the criticism is heard that players have nothing left to do after just a few weeks in a game. Even content updates can only temporarily satisfy players’ cravings, as they immediately fall into an unrelenting grind and complete the new content in no time.
Completely new games also struggle to compete against established competitors because the latter can offer years of built-up content, while new games release content in small portions during seasons.
Regardless of the genre, it is often observed that affected games lose a large portion of their player base within a few weeks or months. In recent years, MMORPG New World or the shooters The Finals and the recently completely shut down XDefiant were prominent examples.
Everyone should have the opportunity to change the game
How does the game plan to solve the problem? EVE Frontier aims to use blockchain technology to allow the game to be modified by players for players. This means that the changes you bring to the game will also apply to all other players on the server. And since EVE Frontier takes place entirely on a single large server, the game will be permanently changed by your modification.
The blockchain technology is characterized by being decentralized, meaning it does not reside in one place but is distributed across many. This way, the developer does not need to approve new mods individually every time. Players can offer these in real-time while other players are gaming on the server.
In EVE Frontier, there will be a central modding tool as well as the so-called “Game Engine Bridge” tool, with which even games can be created within EVE Frontier. However, to ensure that you do not simply equip yourself with a God mode or infinite ammo, the modding of the MMO has in-game limitations (via PCGamer).
What could new content look like? EVE Frontier recently held a so-called “hackathon”. This was a competition where players were to create new content for EVE Frontier within 2 days that would leave a lasting effect. There was over $6,000 in prize money (via X).
During this hackathon, a system that generates a random planet was showcased. Players can then prove that they were the first to discover such a planet and claim it for themselves. In addition, mods like new quest givers, bounty boards, and fully automated PvP modes are possible.
One of the central points in the anime of Naruto is that he grew up without parents, and one of the most beautiful moments is when he meets them for the first time. In a TV special, he almost met them, but he had to go to the bathroom.
What is this special? On August 21, 2004, the OVA “Hidden Leaf Village Grand Sports Festival” was released in Japan. OVA stands for Original Video Animation. These are special episodes or movies that are not produced for TV or cinema. For well-known series, these are often stories that do not officially belong to the canon but provide a lot of fan service for viewers.
In the 3rd OVA of Naruto, it is about a sports festival where the young ninjas must win various games to get a week off. However, Naruto urgently needs to go to the bathroom, which is why he constantly runs there. But it is always quite crowded.
Absurdly, in this special episode, you can also spot familiar faces that are either villainous characters or important family members that you actually meet much later.

Naruto just ran past his father
What can be seen in the OVA? On x.com, @NarutoDaily_ posted a clip from the OVA. You can see how Naruto urgently needs to go to the bathroom. However, when he sees the line in front of the toilet, he is shocked. For anime fans, the line itself is exciting. You can spot the following characters:
Gaara
The Sound 4 ninjas that Konoha fought to bring Sasuke back
Ebisu
Kabuto
Itachi and Kisame, who attempted to kidnap Naruto in the same year
some Anbu
Especially for Itachi and Kisame, this would be the perfect opportunity to grab Naruto and the Jinchuuriki within him.
Even more bizarre is a later scene. There, Naruto runs again towards the bathroom and passes by the 4th Hokage, Minato. He shouldn’t be alive. However, it must be noted that at that time, despite the visual resemblance, Naruto does not know that the 4th Hokage is his father.
When does Naruto officially meet Minato? In the anime, Naruto meets his father’s spirit through the seal of the Nine-Tails in Naruto Shippuden episode 168. It first aired in Japan on July 15, 2010. The episode is based on manga chapters 439 to 442. Chapter 439 first appeared in Weekly Shōnen Jump No. 16 on March 30, 2009 (via Narutopedia).
One should not take such OVAs too seriously, but it is remarkable that Minato’s anime Hokage design was used so early. The Naruto anime is full of exciting battles. We have listed the most legendary ones from the series here: The 7 most legendary battles in Naruto

Final Fantasy XIV does not have many grindy contents. However, one of them is particularly dull and abandoned today. Nonetheless, a newcomer has taken on the challenge and now wants to know if he should slowly consider buying the game.
What kind of content is this? The MMO content in question is Eureka, the first field operation. It was introduced in 2018 with the expansion Stormblood and was the first content of its kind in the MMORPG. However, Eureka was so well-received that there are now two more field excursions: Bozja (Shadowbringers) and most recently the Occult Crescent (Dawntrail).
In Eureka itself, players explore several standalone zones per instance. The field excursion also becomes easier and more fun when played in a large group: You get help faster, bosses die in a flash, and resources as well as experience accumulate much quicker.
Unfortunately, Eureka has become quite an abandoned content: Most players have already acquired their relic weapons available here or are enjoying the newer iterations. Today, Eureka is accordingly more boring, time-consuming, and challenging.
On Reddit, a new player proudly shared his fully upgraded Eureka relic weapon. An impressive achievement, considering how lonely the grind is. Now the player is asking whether it might be time to buy the game into which he has already invested so many hours.

Player completes the hard grind without even owning the MMORPG
Why doesn’t the player own the game yet? Reddit user Low-Cut_5220 is currently likely playing Final Fantasy XIV in the free version, the Free Trial. This allows players to play the MMORPG completely free up to a certain point with slight restrictions.
Included are all story quests including the expansion Stormblood (Level 70), raids, boss fights, dungeons, and more. However, as a free player, one cannot join a Free Company (a guild), the market board for player trading is locked, and one can only hold a maximum of 300,000 Gil, the in-game currency.
However, since the expansion Stormblood is now also included, even non-paying players can experience the first field excursion: Eureka.

Should the gamer buy Final Fantasy XIV now? Low_Cut_5220 has not only worked through the base game A Realm Reborn, which is considered very lengthy and somewhat boring, in the Free Trial, but also completed the Heavensward expansion and grinded the Stormblood endgame Eureka to the bitter end.
This means that the Reddit user has spent a considerable number of hours in Final Fantasy XIV. According to How Long to Beat, it takes 98.5 hours just for the base game. That is not the kind of time one usually invests in games that are no fun.
With the two expansions Shadowbringers and Endwalker, Low_Cut_5220 also has the two highlights of Final Fantasy XIV ahead of him. Content-wise, it’s only going to get even better.
If Low_Cut_5220 is already enjoying the MMORPG so far, he will probably enjoy the upcoming expansions and content even more. He can also expect more field excursions that need to be grinded through. Buying the game would likely not be a bad decision for this Reddit user.
