Most likely, the official “PlayStation Plus” games for September 2017 will be revealed today, August 30, around 5:30 PM. However, a leaked Facebook advertisement already reveals which two PS4 games you can look forward to.
The sponsored Facebook advertisement from Sony PlayStation, which was supposedly shared via Hot UK Deals, reveals: “PS Plus members, download inFamous Second Son and Child of Light in September.”
If this leak is true – and it seems quite credible – you can download these games to your PS4 in September:
inFamous Second Son: This is an exclusive game for the PS4 developed by Sucker Punch Productions. You take on the role of Delsin Rowe, who unexpectedly gains superpowers – smoke abilities. You will spend most of your time in Seattle, a city you can explore freely, with story missions to complete.
Child of Light: A jump ‘n’ run game by Ubisoft where you help Aurora, a red-haired child, save the sun, the moon, and the stars that are held captive by a dark queen. It has a fairytale style.
These games should be available for download starting on September 5, 2017.
What are the free games for PS Plus?
Once a month, “PS Plus” members receive a delivery of free games that they can download from the PlayStation Store and add to their library. This game lineup is included in the subscription to the online service. PlayStation Plus costs just under 50 euros per year.
However, this price is changing now. Starting on August 31, 2017, at 01:01 AM, you will have to pay more. Then you will pay 59.99 euros per year.

Are the best possible graphics settings of the PC beta of Destiny 2 worth it? Here is a graphic comparison in the video.
The PC beta of Destiny 2 is in full swing and many players are now closely examining how the experience as a Guardian plays out with mouse and keyboard. However, not only the controls are being scrutinized, but also the graphics. And the first impression is: It’s fantastic!
The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming has now created a video in which he takes a closer look at the graphics of the PC beta. He compares the low settings with the highest graphics settings. We embed the video for you:

Keep in mind that you can combine the settings in the graphics options as you like. However, for this video, Arekkz has uniformly set all settings to Low, Medium, High, or Highest. First, he shows the results in full screen, then side by side, and then in a direct comparison between Low and Highest.
The Conclusion: The PC beta of Destiny 2 also looks excellent on the low settings. There are not really any significant differences. Only the appearance of the weapon noticeably suffers under the low settings and details in the distance become blurred.
You don’t need the best hardware to enjoy Destiny 2.
A baseball professional in the USA is now advertising for Destiny 2 – he is swapping his team uniform for the Destiny look. However, it hasn’t brought him much luck.
Aaron Judge is a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year in America’s national pastime, baseball. Typically, uniforms are strictly regulated there. However, over the weekend, during a “Players Weekend,” uniform rules were relaxed. Players had more options for choosing their sportswear.
This is intended to allow players to express their personal style and preferences through their uniforms.
Aaron Judge took the opportunity to express his love for Destiny 2. Some may claim he also earned a few extra dollars in the process. But we don’t know that.
Destiny 2 proudly presented three outfits ahead of the event, consisting of cleats and gloves, which the top rookie was to wear over the weekend. His team, the New York Yankees, was playing a three-game series against Bungie’s hometown team, the Seattle Mariners.

In the first game against the Seattle Mariners, Judge immediately wore the Warlock outfit and scored, but the Yankees, his team, lost 2:1.
Luck in advertising, misfortune in the game
He then wore the other outfits for Titan and Hunter in the subsequent games against the Mariners. The Yankees won both games. However, Judge probably didn’t shine much in the two games as Titan and Hunter.
Therefore, the weekend didn’t bring much luck to Destiny fan Judge. As reported by Spox, the Yankees already benched him on Monday evening. Judge is said to be in a sports crisis and they want to give him a break. He also needs to recover from a shoulder injury. He is getting a few days off, which would surely do him good.
However, there is a positive side to this: If the crisis lasts a bit longer, Judge now at least has time for the PC beta of Destiny 2.
In this overview, we have compiled a few guides for ARK Survival Evolved that serve as a starting aid for beginners. Topics such as taming dinos and how you can survive the first hours in ARK are covered.
ARK belongs to the genre of survival MMOs, and as such, you must secure and fight for your survival. You will be placed as a nearly naked person on the large map with a mysterious implant in your arm. The implant gives you access to your inventory, which you accumulate throughout the game.
Now it is essential to survive against dangerous creatures and relentless nature. You decide whether to engage only in PvE against your surroundings or to compete against other players in PvP. You can join or create tribes and build your own base with prehistoric pets.
Tips and Tricks – How to survive the first hours in ARK Survival Evolved
New survival fighters will receive a quick introduction to ARK in the following guides to master the first steps. Topics covered include choosing the right starting area, finding the first food, or dying and respawning.

Black Desert Online will receive a new PvE mode tomorrow, on August 30, 2017. “Savage Rift” will be a so-called “Horde Mode” where you have to fight through increasingly larger waves of enemies and survive as long as possible.
A new PvE game mode is on the way in Black Desert Online. Instead of just grinding or clearing dungeons, you will soon have the chance to try out a fun new Horde Mode.
Black Desert Online – Gameplay – Endure and Grab Items
The new Horde Mode is called “Savage Rift” and will be available for the US and Europe version of Black Desert Online already on August 30, 2017. In Savage Rift, you can expect the following content and challenges:
8 to 10 players will compete
You must have reached at least level 56
You defend a tower against a total of 25 waves of enemies that become increasingly stronger and more numerous with each wave.
At the end, a mighty field boss awaits you
Each time you survive a wave, you earn points that you can invest in defensive mechanisms such as traps, turrets, and walls. This improves your survival in the next attack. Additionally, using such items nets you even more points for victory.
Those who endure until the end can look forward to particularly cool loot.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is played by an extremely high number of players eagerly. But where do all the enthusiastic battle royale shooter fans come from and which game is currently suffering from a massive player drop?
But one question remains open: Where do all the fans of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds come from? Are these all new players or have they migrated from somewhere else?
According to the Steam analytics site Steamspy, the answer is clear. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is the main source of new players for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds:
55 percent of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players also play CS:GO.
These CS:GO players were on average 50 percent more engaged in Counter-Strike before the release of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds compared to the majority of other CS:GO players.
Now they are playing 30 percent less CS:GO overall because they are spending time in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
55% of PUBG owners are CS:GO players. They used to play CS:GO 50% more than an average person, now they play 30% less.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is also encroaching significantly on the territory of CS:GO and is attracting the most engaged players over there. According to the comments under the Steam Spy tweet on Twitter, this is mainly due to:
The similar shooter gameplay (Once you die, you’re out)
CS:GO hasn’t had any major updates for a long time, while there’s always something new in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is equally fun for hardcore gamers and casuals
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Especially popular among Chinese, Americans, and Germans
Also interesting: The direct battle royale competitor H1Z1: King of the Kill had to concede players to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Additionally, the less enthusiastic players of Payday 2 and Left4Dead 2 also flocked away and landed in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. One reason for this could be PUBG’s better shooter gameplay.
Steamspy also has an answer to the origin of all these players from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. According to Steamspy, most of them come from China, the USA, and Germany. The exciting open-world battle royale gameplay seems to fit the German ideal of deserving success after hard work.
In Destiny 2, you should also have an incentive to collect XP beyond the level cap. Because for XP, you will receive white Engrams (Shiny Engrams)!
In Destiny 2, you will need experience points (XP) to level up, just like in Destiny 1. You get this XP whenever you defeat enemies or complete challenges.
However, at some point you will reach the level cap, the maximum level. Then you no longer need experience points to level up. What is the point of XP then?
In Destiny 1, you could collect XP beyond the level cap to fill an XP bar. When this bar was full, you received Light particles. In Destiny 2, there is a different reward for that: White Engrams, which are called “Shiny Engrams”.
Bright Engrams and Prestigious Gear
Gaming sites like IGN and Gameinformer have been able to thoroughly explore the European Dead Zone of Destiny 2 and discover things that were previously unknown.
Thus, “Bright Engrams” have been sighted, representing “bright” or “radiant” Engrams, depicted with a white Engram symbol:
These Engrams are introduced as follows: You receive Bright Engrams by leveling up. They contain items with which you can customize your character. Tess Everis can decrypt them – Tess is the woman from the “Eververse” in Destiny 1.
In other words, these white Engrams contain exclusively cosmetic items, with which you can personalize your Guardians.
According to IGN, you also receive these special Engrams after reaching the level cap when you fill the XP bar. They are intended to create an additional incentive to continue playing in the endgame.
Presumably, you will also be able to purchase the white Engrams from Tess Everis if she is the contact person for that. However, this has not been confirmed. Which cosmetic items are included is also still unknown. Presumably shaders, sparrows, ghost shells, etc.
Additionally: In this screenshot, you can see that the white Engrams can apparently also be obtained through activities like Flashpoints. Here the reward “Prestigious Gear” is mentioned, which means “Prestige Gear”. The symbol is identical to that of the white Engrams.
No team kills, smaller maps, and better textures – Friday the 13th: The Game addresses many issues.
Since its launch, Friday the 13th: The Game has been plagued by several issues across all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, and PC). The developers took such a long time for the patches that players sometimes thought the game had been “dropped” right after launch and that they were working on the next title. However, this does not seem to be the case. A new patch is now live and has brought numerous changes aimed at improving gameplay and performance.
Campers may not like each other – whether they want to or not
Many players, who previously had to deal with the killer Jason, but with other campers, can now breathe a sigh of relief. In public matches, it is no longer possible to kill other campers. While it is still possible to harm allies by running them over with a car, almost all other sources (such as weapons) can no longer be used against the campers. As a result, trolling in the game should be somewhat limited.
Another important point is the size of the maps. Many players felt they were too spacious and often could completely avoid encounters with the killer. This will change moving forward, as the size of all maps has been reduced by about 40%. This means more encounters between campers and Jason; however, the key locations on each map are now closer together. The goal seems to be more interaction between the two parties.
Aside from the larger changes mentioned above, there are also many small improvements. For example, the resolution of the textures on Xbox One has been increased, leading to better graphical representations overall. Additionally, many kills that could not previously be executed correctly in various locations have been fixed.
These are the real killers!
Now is the perfect time to take another look at the horror slasher and ban a few campers into the depths of Crystal Lake … or die miserably in the attempt to escape the killer.
There are rumors about a large AAA RPG related to Game of Thrones. Bethesda might be planning this as one of two new top games that could rival the size of Skyrim or Fallout.
Currently, there is a delicious rumor circulating that seems quite credible. One advantage: Whether it’s true or not, we should find out soon.
Bethesda is working on two major new titles
We know that Bethesda is currently planning two “large, new titles” that are supposed to be released before “The Elder Scrolls VI.” However, we do not know what exactly this entails. Neither at E3 2017 nor at Gamescom were major titles presented, instead, there were only new versions of Skyrim, which some people online have found quite amusing.
However, there are already quite clear indications of what these games might be:
Firstly, the sci-fi RPG “Starfield,” for which Bethesda has already secured the title, and there are relatively credible leaks regarding it.
Some hope that the Game-of-Thrones game could be introduced today, during the last episode of the seventh season of the TV series “Game of Thrones,” with a commercial.
These are supposed to be games that are somewhat different from what Bethesda is known for, but still be the kind that makes you say afterward: “Alright, that fits them.” So far, nothing has been heard about either game, and it could soon be time for the titles to go public.

If Game of Thrones comes from Bethesda, it will probably only be as the “next game” after Starfield and likely after the end of the TV series Game of Thrones. It is assumed that the final season may not air until 2019.
Update 29.8.:As Forbes reports, a spokesperson from Target has distanced themselves from this “product page” related to Bethesda: Game of Thrones. They called it a “hoax,” a joke. They do not specify by whom. Target apologizes if this prank caused confusion.
The rumor about Starfield and Game of Thrones remains persistent, and has now been reignited:
The Free2Play MMO Skyforge has been around for a while on PS4 and at Gamescom 2017, we were able to see the quality of the gamepad controls for ourselves. Additionally, we were allowed to take a look at the new Revenant class.
Skyforge is a fast-paced action MMORPG that also runs on the PlayStation 4. Since I always like to try how familiar MMOs play with a gamepad, I visited the My.com booth at Gamescom 2017. There, I not only had the console version of Skyforge waiting for me, but also a new class called Revenant, which is supposed to be released on September 19th.
Skyforge – Revenant as the new badass hero
Before we kicked off, the folks at My.com showed me a cool trailer for the new class in Skyforge. It featured the Revenant, a dark knight in heavy armor who fights with a giant axe. He also uses dark magic to drain the life from his enemies.

In the intro video, he demolishes a horde of rat-like creatures and their leader with his axe and magic. Of course, I want to play this new class! Shortly thereafter, a PlayStation 4 runs, and I start as a hulking Revenant in a barren desert region.
Revenant – Off-Tank and DPS Machine
The look of the Revenant class is already impressive. The dark warrior is heavily armored, and his armor is covered with mouths and teeth. When he stomps towards the enemy with unstoppable, slow steps, it can be quite terrifying.
However, the developers have exaggerated a bit with the cool sluggishness, as the Revenant hits hard, but takes forever. By the time the bulky fighter raises his giant axe and brings it down like an executioner’s blade on innocent creatures, an eternity passes. Additionally, with each particularly devastating attack, a cool but quite confusing animation plays that includes a camera swing around the Revenant.
“This will most likely be changed,” says one of the present staff members. The Revenant is also supposed to be reworked so that he plays a bit more dynamically and less sluggishly. Nevertheless, I found the look of the new hero appealing, and with his armor, hefty damage output, and self-healing ability, he could perform well as a DPS or Off-Tank.
Skyforge – Way cooler with a gamepad!
While the Revenant will likely become a good hero with a little extra love and care, the other classes in Skyforge are already much further along and are a lot of fun. To conclude my demo session, I happily cycled through all the classes (in Skyforge you can switch classes at any time) and tried out the gamepad controls.
In particular, the ranged classes were a joy. The Gunner was already extremely cool with his big multi-purpose cannon. But the one that rocks the most in my opinion is the Outlaw, a kind of cowboy gunslinger with pistols. His fast-paced “Run&Gun” gameplay works fantastically well with the gamepad.
The Dance with the Cannon
One skill allows the Outlaw to dance around like an ecstatic cannon dervish, while he sadistically dishes out damage and shoots everything in the vicinity. The skill was so cool animated that every time, everyone present had a broad smile on their lips when I invited a few enemies to a “Cannon Tango” again.
So, if you enjoy fast-paced action with perfect gamepad controls, you can’t go wrong with Skyforge.
My goodness, this is so much fun! Especially with the agile classes like the Outlaw, the console version of Skyforge is a top game. The gamepad controls are simply a lot of fun. Even a PC purist and gamepad rejector like me is weak for it.
Unfortunately, the Revenant was not quite in shape at Gamescom, but if the developers enhance the new hero a bit before the launch on September 19th and speed up his animations, the bulky melee beast should fit well into the hero repertoire of Skyforge. I’m certainly looking forward to it!
The best armor in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a cast-iron frying pan that effectively protects your behind. But would such a pan also save your ass in real life? A YouTuber put it to the test and shot real guns at pans!
But what about in real life? Should soldiers and police officers in real-life in the future prefer pans instead of the usual Kevlar vests and ceramic plates? A YouTuber tried it out and put it to the test!
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – The Experiment – Are frying pans really bulletproof?
The YouTuber behind the channel Logical Increments wanted to know if frying pans really stop bullets from pistols and rifles. Therefore, he obtained the following items in real life:
A brand-new cast-iron frying pan
A watermelon with a painted face
A .45 P1911 pistol
A 9mm P92 pistol
A 7.92mm Kar98k rifle
The aforementioned guns can all be found in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Therefore, they are all good test subjects. To test the protective effect of the frying pan, the YouTuber placed the watermelon behind the pan and shot at it from close range with the respective gun. If a bullet penetrated the pan and damaged the melon, the frying pan myth would be debunked.

Foxhole has been in Early Access on the gaming platform Steam for about a month now and promises battles with over 500 men on several expansive maps that are constantly changing due to player actions. Our author Dennis has taken a closer look at the game and must say after a few hours: The concept is really interesting, even if he still hasn’t quite figured it out.
Currently, there are shooters like sand on the beach, yet some game developers are trying to bring something new to the table and showcase new gameplay mechanics. With Foxhole, another tactical shooter starts and mixes action-packed battles with strategic elements. Additionally, you can practically do whatever you want in the game.
What is Foxhole actually?
Foxhole is a MMO shooter where you control your soldier in an isometric perspective – meaning from above. On the servers, up to 120 soldiers are controlled by players. But that’s not all: In a special campaign, multiple servers fight on multiple maps for supremacy. It can happen that over 500 players are present on the battlefields. Foxhole reminds me of a sandbox game because you can practically do whatever you want.
Will you manufacture weapons and help build walls and defenses, or would you rather play the chauffeur who transports team members to the areas of operation? You can also act as a foot soldier and give the enemy players a hard time. The battles are fought on a vast map where every action influences the war.
Gameplay – Action and Tactics with a Touch of Sandbox
Foxhole plays out like a top-down shooter, similar to games like “Hotline Miami”. Here you control your soldier from above and navigate him across the battlefield. The control is typical for a shooter, using the “WASD” keys to move your character while aiming and firing with the mouse. Whether you rush to the front or proceed more tactically is up to you. If you prefer to charge in, you should be cautious, as ammunition is scarce in Foxhole.
That’s why here you should drink more aim potion instead of wildly wasting bullets. If you prefer to act from the backlines and want to experience the tactical side of the game, you can spend your time gathering resources and building walls and defensive structures. Sometimes Foxhole feels like a sandbox title to me because everyone can choose how they want to contribute to the war. You can shoot or build. Or you can spend time like I did, just going back and forth and getting to know the corners of the map better.
Foxhole: My First Gaming Minutes
Once you have chosen a suitable server, you can choose between two factions. After that, you can use a spawn point. These points are usually close to a town hall or an outpost. Here you should first build a weapon with the click of the E key so you don’t end up as cannon fodder right away. After I crafted my weapon, a teammate of mine came around the corner with a big transporter. I got in and drove with the remaining soldiers to the front line. Here you can already tell that Foxhole is a team-based shooter because you won’t get far alone.
Imagine It’s War and No One Knows How to Get There…
If you decide to transport players back and forth, you should always lock the car when leaving, because otherwise another player will usually take the vehicle and drive off to never be seen again. Once you arrive at the outpost, you still have the option to craft a suitable weapon near a camp, provided you have the materials for it. Quickly conjure a submachine gun and off to the action. At least that’s what I imagined; in reality, I was just hitching a ride back and forth and didn’t know what I was supposed to do.
Here, the developer should definitely incorporate a comprehensive tutorial because most players want guidance when getting started. You either have to figure it out or hope for the help of an experienced player.
Teamplay is Everything in Foxhole
Foxhole is a shooter where playing in a team is crucial. Solo players are not well-received here, and you quickly notice this in the chat. The players are passionate about it and give 100 percent effort to lead their faction to victory. I, for instance, didn’t know what was happening to me at first and was simply shot down.
Here, you really need to engage with your team and discuss strategies and approaches. To avoid doing this cumbersome in chat, Foxhole offers the ability to communicate with your comrades via voice chat using Discord.
Dive into the Action or Prefer to Handle Logistics?
When you are new to the game, the question arises about what exactly you want to do. It’s important to gather resources and transport them to the various outposts to supply them. Sometimes the game feels like a logistics simulator because without resources or “dough”, nothing happens. Once you are stocked with enough materials, you can get going. Do you want to fight at the front and decimate enemy soldiers with your cannon, or do you prefer to be the builder and construct walls and defenses? Foxhole shines with its sandbox elements as there are many options to choose from and you can approach things differently.
Conclusion: Lacking a Tutorial – You Are Quite Overwhelmed at First
My first gaming hours were quite pleasant, even if I didn’t know exactly what I was supposed to do. The developer should definitely add a comprehensive tutorial to guide players on the right path, or else you’ll end up like me, driving trucks for hours. But once you get the hang of it, Foxhole rewards you with an intense and extremely team-based gaming experience. The shooter is one of those games that you must play extensively and get to know in order to unleash its full potential.

Foxhole is currently in Early Access but already offers a lot for this stage. I can overlook minor bugs like getting stuck on some objects or some translation errors. It is currently available in the Steam store for 20 Euros and has already shown a growing player base. So if you don’t mind diving in and the steep learning curve, you should definitely check out the game.
Bungie receives a lot of praise for the PC beta of Destiny 2 . As a Destiny veteran on PS4 and Xbox One, one feels a bit envious.
Last night, the beta for Destiny 2 on PC started and surprise: most players love the beta. They are full of praise. Hardly any issues, technically flawless, graphics fantastic, gameplay great – a superb port from console to PC.
In the heart of the Destiny community, on Reddit, there are threads like:
Even now, not everything is sunshine and rainbows in Destiny-land. Apparently, some PS4 and Xbox One veterans are annoyed that PC players are doing so well now. Moderators frequently have to intervene and state that the subreddit is for everyone and is platform-independent. There is no place for platform-hostile remarks.
Even in the comments on our articles and in our social media, the atmosphere is similar to that in English-speaking Reddit. Many new guardians, to whom Destiny has finally been made accessible on PC, are thrilled with the gameplay and the graphics.
A larger part of the community is happy that the PC beta is being received so well and attracting new players to Destiny 2. A smaller part is somewhat annoyed with Bungie that so much fuss is being made about PC players now. They believe that PS4 and Xbox One made Destiny great and should also be recognized. Especially the comment about PC players as “first-class citizens” seems to have struck some the wrong way. What was meant as “we treat PC players equally” was interpreted as “we prefer PC players”.
PS4 and Xbox One players are attached to their console, but even more to their friends
Some players on PS4 and Xbox One seem to be struggling with the fact that the PC version is technically superior. A switch is only an option for a few Destiny veterans:
Some are hesitant to buy a new computer.
Others simply prefer playing on the console on the couch rather than at a “desktop.”.
Most, however, want to stay on their console because of their friends. They would only switch if they could persuade their buddies to come along.
The Open Beta of the Diablo-like hack and slash MU Legend for Europe and North America has been postponed at the last moment. Instead of starting in September 2017, it will now begin in November. As a reason, developer Webzen states that they want to make it as good as possible. Good things take time.
Now September is approaching, and with it the Open Beta, at a rapid pace. Publisher Webzen needs to hit the brakes.
Mu Legend – Open Beta now November 2017
A press release states: Everything is put on hold. We need more time.
The new date for the Open Beta of Mu Legend is November 2017.
This is all the more frustrating because the “Open Beta” was supposed to be a soft launch. There would not have been a wipe afterward, and the game would have basically already launched in the West.
Better to take time than to rush
As an explanation, Webzen states that they need the time to process and incorporate player feedback from the Korean version. They want to rearrange some features and also address the balance again. This leads to a change in the roadmap and thus to the delay of 3 months.
They tell fans: “Guys, you have been waiting for so long. We now ask you to wait just three months longer.” They love the game and want to do everything to make the best out of it.
They prefer to take their time rather than rush it now and jeopardize the quality of MU Legend.
ARK Survival Evolved (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is leaving Early Access today, August 29th, and transitioning to Full Release. During this time, the servers will be down for a while, and 33% of them are on a kill list – they will be removed from the game. We explain how Studio Wildcard has planned the release.
Today, August 29th, ARK Survival Evolved is entering Full Release and will thus be a “finished” game. The survival MMO was released on Steam in May 2015 and became a surprising mega hit. In December 2015, ARK entered Early Access on Xbox One, last year in December 2016, ARK Survival Evolved came to PS4.
Xbox players will have this option as soon as rentable servers are available to them as well. This is expected to happen in September, according to Wildcard’s estimates.
Have you been with ARK Survival Evolved for a long time, or are you going to start now with the Full Release?
Here we have prepared a collection of guides that will help you get started in ARK:
For those who want to fight online with other players in an extraordinary scenario, Absolver offers the opportunity starting today. Here is the launch trailer.
Absolver places you in the ruins of the destroyed Adal Empires. You awaken wearing a mysterious mask on your face and can barely remember your past. The mask frees you from hunger and thirst and even protects you from death. You wear it because you must prove yourself in battles – to show the mysterious Guides, the rulers of the land, that you have what it takes to rise in the ranks of an Absolver.
Collect better equipment and learn new combat techniques
You traverse the devastated land and encounter others who also wear this mask. In quick battles, you fight against them and learn new combat techniques while also obtaining better equipment – including weapons and armor. It is also possible to meet players who ally with you and fight side by side in the arenas.

A new trailer for Destiny 2 has been released. This shows you what Destiny 2 really is.
Many players are asking the question “What is Destiny 2?” these days. Currently, the PC beta of Destiny 2 is running, which is also attracting attention from people who have never interacted with Destiny before. After all, Destiny was console-exclusive for three years. Only with Destiny 2 does the MMO shooter make its move to PC.
The question of what makes Destiny 2 is not easy to answer – especially not in one or two sentences. Therefore, Bungie has now released a trailer, in which you are shown in one and a half minutes what Destiny 2 is. We have embedded it for you above.
This is Destiny 2!
The quite entertaining trailer presents the basics of Destiny 2:
It is an action shooter
There is a comprehensive story, in which you fight against the Cabal’s Red Legion. They have attacked the last city of humanity.
You can customize your gear, weapons, and character.
And there are new worlds to explore.
However, this information from the trailer only scratches the surface of what makes Destiny 2. If you want detailed information about the game, we recommend our guides:
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds some players band together in identical uniforms to form larger squads. One player took advantage of this, infiltrated such a giant group, and eliminated everyone at the right moment!
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds you can only go hunting in squad mode with a maximum of three other players. However, this does not prevent clever players from eliminating enemies in large hordes. They just wear identical clothes for better recognition and communicate via voice chat like Discord or Teamspeak.
Such uniformed packs are a real danger for less organized players, but they also have a decisive disadvantage.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Revenge on the Redshirts
A Korean streamer named ther01231 and his squadmates thought nothing bad when suddenly a horde of players in red shirts attacked them, slaughtering everyone except the mentioned streamer. Alone and on his own, the Korean vowed bitter revenge, but how could he come against the overpowering “Redshirts”?
With cunning and trickery! The streamer simply put on a red shirt and joined the Redshirt pack. The enemies noticed nothing, and the streamer could follow them for some time.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – 7 Kills in a Few Seconds
When the Redshirts then gathered in a suitable tight space, he struck! He threw a grenade in front of the stunned faces of the enemies, taking out 5 Redshirts. The remaining two red shirts were then lovingly cleared away with the shotgun.

Ther01231 was able to avenge his squadmates and completely eliminate the Redshirt group. However, he was also not granted victory. He made it into the last 20 players but was then shot by a nasty sniper from behind.
Nevertheless, his action was remarkable and another proof of the crazy stories a large open-world battle royale shooter like PUBG can create.
Something exciting is happening tomorrow! Are there any updates on Update 1.8 of The Division?
Strange things happened last weekend in The Division. The official Twitter account of the game
posted various codes, which are likely to represent coordinates in the game and hint at story missions,
changed the cover image every few hours – the faction symbols were displayed on it,
and posted images of enemy factions along with quotes that apparently come from the enemies.
It seemed that the factions had taken over the Twitter channel, as if insider information from the factions was leaking to the public via the Twitter channel.
What did the Twitter channel post?
The tweets all suggest that the factions want to unite to defeat the Division agents together. The quotes indicate that it is now time to show the Division who truly rules over New York. That the enemy of my enemy is my friend and that the Division prevents the factions from achieving their success. With this speculation that the factions are about to unite against us, we already discussed last Sunday.
In the community, there is speculation that these mysterious tweets indicate a future update. Most likely Update 1.8. However, there are also opinions that this could be about The Division 2, as Massive has never organized such “community puzzles” or teased upcoming content in this way before. It is also possible that this is just a teaser for the next Global Event.
On August 30, we will likely know more
In the meantime, the Twitter channel looks “normal” again. The symbol of the Division is prominently displayed in the cover image. Moreover, Massive posted: “Backup activated. System rebooted. Signal source is being tracked.”
The last post occurred yesterday evening at 6 PM. The source of the signal is still unknown. The search is being expanded. And it is assumed that an answer will be available in 48 hours.
This means that tomorrow, on August 30 at 6 PM, we will likely finally learn what this puzzle is about. According to a rather dubious “leak” on reddit, a trailer for Update 1.8 is supposed to be released at this time, in which Agent Keener speaks to the factions to unite them against the Division. However, this “leak” is just a summary of what has been speculated on reddit in recent days.
We will see what happens tomorrow at 6 PM. We will report on it promptly.
