Final Fantasy XIV has no bunny girls because the shoes do not fit

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Final Fantasy 14 Stormblood brings new classes, but no new race. That’s a shame, as many players would have liked to see the bunny girls of the Viera race. However, there are handfirm reasons why the Bunnys are (still) not in the game.

Final Fantasy XIV received the dragon-like Au Ra as the last playable race . Many players are now wishing for more races, and the Viera are particularly in demand among fans. The Viera are cute girls with bunny ears, who made appearances in earlier Final Fantasy games. Many players had hoped that the Bunnys would come with Stormblood or a subsequent patch.

However, this will not happen for now, related to the feet of the bunny girls.

Final Fantasy XIV – The Viera have the wrong shoe size

viera 01
Source: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com

In an interview with Finder.com, chief developer Naoki Yoshida explained why there are currently no Viera in Final Fantasy 14. The reason is simply the strange feet of the bunny girls. Unlike the other races in FF 14, the Viera walk on their toes and have pronounced heels. If they wear shoes, they require extremely high heels.

Unfortunately, no cobbler in Eorzea can currently make shoes that would fit the Viera. The workload for the graphic designers would be enormous, as all shoes would need to be redesigned specifically for the Viera. However, this does not mean that there will never be Viera.

FF 14 Chief Yoshida “Don’t give up hope!”

Final-Fantasy-Gebieter

According to Yoshida, one should not give up hope. Perhaps the developers will still find a way to bring the bunny race with suitable shoes into the game. Possibly through an adjustment to the lore in the game that explains why the Viera can wear shoes belonging to all other races despite their unusual foot shapes. After all, it is a magical world!

What do you think about the Viera shoe size controversy? Do the Viera necessarily have to have their weird feet or do you not care about such a detail as long as you can get them as a playable race? Or do you not care about the Viera anyway and would prefer a completely different race? Let us know in the comments!

ESO Morrowind: Launch-Trailer zeigt den drohenden Untergang

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is richer by a chapter today, and those who want to optimally tune in to Morrowind should not miss the new launch trailer! In it, you will see the god Vivec and his impending doom.

The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind has launched today and offers you a return to the island of Vvardenfell, which you last visited in 2002 in the legendary third Elder Scrolls game Morrowind.

ESO Morrowind Trailerscreen02

On the occasion of the release of Morrowind, there is a new trailer that builds a threatening atmosphere.

The Elder Scrolls Online – Save Vivec!

The focal point of the Dark Elves on Vvardenfell are the three living gods of the Tribunal. Above all, the warrior poet Vivec is essential for the lives of the island’s inhabitants, as only through his power is a huge asteroid prevented from eradicating all life on Vvardenfell.

As long as Vivec’s power keeps the chunk suspended in the air, mortals in the land are safe. But woe, if Vivec’s power wanes, great disaster looms. But Vivec is a god, what could possibly happen? Quite a lot, because as can be seen in the new trailer for Morrowind, Vivec’s power is waning, and soon the god-king of the Dark Elves will no longer be able to hold the chunk in the sky.

What threatens then can be seen at the end of the trailer. One can only hope that you succeed with your heroes in Morrowind and can save Vivec before it is too late.

Shroud of the Avatar: $30,000 for a golden castle in the game

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The new crowdfunding campaign for the upcoming online role-playing game Shroud of the Avatar has caused quite a stir. Among other things, because people who invest in the company can receive a golden castle for $30,000.

Developing computer games costs a lot of money. Although more than $11.6 million has already been raised for Shroud of the Avatar through crowdfunding, only about $500,000 is currently left. This is evident from the new crowdfunding campaign for Seed Invest, through which the development studio Portalarium aims to raise $2 million through investments in the company to complete the RPG.

Shroud of the Avatar Winter
$30,000 for an in-game castle …

As a “Backer” of the new campaign, you will receive special in-game items. These include a golden cloak for $500 or a golden in-game castle for $30,000. Portalarium makes no guarantees that the company will be successful in the long term or that profits will be generated. Investing in the company is therefore associated with a certain risk. Nevertheless, there are already some from the community who rave in the official forum about wanting to invest in the development studio.

Richard Garriott, founder of Portalarium, stated that the crowdfunding campaign is not aimed at saving the company – which one might reasonably suspect given the current financial situation. Rather, Portalarium wants to transition from a development studio to a publisher and needs new capital for this.

However, dark clouds are currently gathering over the company and the game. The description of Shroud of the Avatar on the Seed Invest website has led to a shitstorm that the company is currently facing on various platforms.

For in the description, it states that there are decisions with consequences and that players can open trade routes and conquer cities – none of that is present in the game. Garriott tried to explain that certain features, such as capture points in the world, can be interpreted as city conquests, even if they are not cities at all.

Many fans are furious

However, the community is showing dissatisfaction and anger. There have even been calls to take the new crowdfunding campaign offline. Currently, attempts to placate a large part of the community are falling on deaf ears. Technical Director Chris Spears, who recently fell out with the MMORPG.com community, wanted to provide clarification on Reddit, which ended in a medium-sized catastrophe and insults.

Currently, Shroud of the Avatar is not under a good star. However, some fans are defending the game with all their might and proudly holding the flag high. In the end, we can only hope that Shroud of the Avatar can be successful despite all the criticism beforehand and all the controversial issues surrounding the development.

Battleborn becomes Free2Play today (partially)! Free download

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Battleborn, the cool but unfortunately unfortunate shooter-MOBA from Gearbox, will finally go Free2Play – at least the PvP part of the game.. And today! Players who have purchased Battleborn will receive additional hefty bonuses, and anyone who wishes can download the game for free

Battleborn is one of the most tragic games of recent times. The wacky shooter-MOBA from the Borderlands developers Gearbox was a good game, but it couldn’t compete with the competition from Overwatch and sank into obscurity. Even fan-organized events and porn fan art could not change that, and only a handful of people played the game daily.

Nevertheless, Gearbox and publisher 2K stuck to the Buy2Play model – until today!

Battleborn – Infinite Demo Version – Free2Play in Detail

Starting today, June 6th, a version of Battleborn will be available for free in the USA, Europe, and Japan as a Free2Play game for Steam and Xbox One starting at 6:00 PM. The PS4 version will be available here on June 13th.

This whole thing is called “free trial version” and can be used without time limit. As Free2Play players, you will receive a weekly rotating selection of six of the 30 heroes. You can play all multiplayer maps, as well as maps without time limits and level caps. In the item shop, you can unlock new heroes and other items with credits or real money.

battleborn ernest

To make it short: The PVP part of Battleborn will be available for free. However, the PvE half of Battleborn will not.

Those who buy the game will receive the 25 base heroes, eight story missions, the prologue, and access to private matches. Those who were already owners of Battleborn before the launch of the Free2Play version will be referred to as “Founders” and will receive a bunch of cool items for their loyalty:

  • 1,000 Platinum
  • 50,000 Credits
  • Title “Founder”
  • Gold Skins for Mellka and Deande
  • 5 Core Loot Packs
  • 1 of each Command Faction Pack (5 in total)
  • 1 exclusive “Founder Loot Pack” that contains the following items:
    • 1 guaranteed legendary item
    • 1 guaranteed legendary boss item
    • 2 common items or better
    • Legendary item “Shard of Solus,” which generates shards for free
    • 4 flair items, including the exclusive “Founder’s Crown”

Battleborn Free2Play – Free Download and Better Matchmaking

Battleborn Kleese Dragon

With the Free2Play version comes a new training room where you can try out all 30 heroes. Anyone who now reaches level 20 in Command Rank will no longer be categorized as a beginner by matchmaking and will face tougher foes. This way, experienced players cannot slaughter defenseless noobs.

If you want to download Battleborn, you can do so for free starting at 6 PM via the link provided here on Steam, according to Gearbox. You can find the Xbox version in the console store. Have fun shooting!

What do you think about the Free2Play change in Battleborn? Will this finally make the game more successful, or has the train already left and Free2Play won’t change anything anymore? Let us know in the comments!

Gigantic: Release for PC/Xbox One is imminent – Huge update is coming

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The action MOBA Gigantic by Motiga and Perfect World Entertainment is about to transition into the release phase. This will be heralded by a major update.

Currently, Gigantic is still in beta on Windows 10 PC and Xbox One. However, this is expected to change soon. The beta is set to end at the end of June. An official launch date is currently not known. Just before release, there are some new details about the title.

Gigantic_LeiranImperial

Windows 10 is no longer a requirement

The game will launch on Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One. However, in the medium term, Gigantic is also expected to appear on Perfect World’s ARC platform, meaning Windows 10 will no longer be a necessary requirement. However, it may be necessary to create a new account through Arc. Crossplay with Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs is said to be possible.

A large update is coming

The team is currently working on a substantial update. This will bring balancing changes to the heroes, plenty of optimizations, and bug fixes. Additionally, the user interface will be revised to make the game more visually appealing. There will also be a new tutorial designed to help newcomers get started. Bot matches will be among the new features, as well as a voice chat that allows players to communicate with each other.

Furthermore, the developers are working on the network code, as the beta is still experiencing some connection drops. However, this is expected to change by the official launch of Gigantic.

Star Citizen revamps large parts of the game for more realism

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The new “Item 2.0 System” promises interesting gameplay mechanics for the space MMO Star Citizen – but the development team now has to revise and adjust many elements of the game.

With the “Item 2.0 System”, things become possible in Star Citizen that ensure more realism. A door that opens to outer space causes the system to recognize that the air from this area of the spaceship or space station needs to be evacuated.

If you turn off the lights in a room, the power supply is reduced. If you fly through the atmosphere of a planet, the fuel consumption increases accordingly. Through a new interface, you distribute energy to various systems of your ship.

Star Citizen Star Marine

Cool system = even more work

This system sounds fantastic and will surely make Star Citizen feel much more realistic. However, the introduction of Item 2.0 also has disadvantages. The developers have to adapt large parts of the ships in the game to this new system. Even small details like doors need to be adjusted in ships, which means that the artists and the programmers of the physics system have a lot of work ahead of them.

Especially in terms of coordination, this is a very large effort according to producer Ashram Kain. Everyone in the approximately 400-man strong team must be aware of what is being worked on and what implications this has. It must not happen that existing systems no longer function and then a part of the team cannot continue working.

AI must respond to the player

Star Citizen
Star Citizen

Moreover, every part of the work must be forwarded to the AI team, which must ensure that NPCs can respond accordingly. This is very complex, as nobody knows in advance what items a player will bring to their ship, how they will react, what they will do, and how the AI must then react. Whether this work will further delay the still unknown release date of Star Citizen is unclear.

Destiny 2 – Are the Cabal destroying our sun?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

Do the Cabal destroy our sun in Destiny 2? What do you see at the end of the trailer?

Some Guardians may not have noticed during the influx of information about Destiny 2: At the end of the official gameplay trailer, the sun explodes. Or does it? What exactly happens in the last seconds?

We mark the point for you:

You see a gigantic weapon shooting a blue beam into the sun. Consequently, the sun explodes and directly destroys the nearest planet. Many Guardians immediately wrote in shock in the comments: “Our sun is destroyed – along with Mercury!” This is why Destiny 2 is also called “a world without light”. But is that really going to happen? After all, life on Earth would be unthinkable without the sun. 

Warning: Possible spoilers ahead!

One thing seems certain: The Cabal can destroy the sun

The Cabal represent the greatest known military power in the system. Almost a year ago, Bungie said we still had no idea of the true strength of the Cabal.

In the game, we get very little information about them. Right at the first encounter on Mars, our Ghost tells us: They weigh 350 kg, are heavily armed, and can easily blow up planets and moons.

In other words: The Cabal possess weapons that can simply destroy planets that stand in their way.

destiny 2 sun weapon
destiny 2 sun weapon attack
destiny 2 weapon sun

Apparently, they even have weapons capable of blowing up a sun. Because the gigantic weapon undoubtedly belongs to the Cabal, as can be inferred from these scenes in the gameplay material:

You can see that Guardians will definitely be fighting on this super-weapon that is currently attacking the sun. The Arcstrider fights against Cabal units. The design of the weapon and the objects on it strongly resemble Cabal architecture. In short: The weapon comes from the Cabal.

Hypothesis: It’s not our sun that explodes – but it is in danger

But why are we fighting on this weapon? And if the sun, as shown in the trailer, is destroyed – have we lost the battle, and will we be annihilated?

Now we are in the realm of pure speculation. One theory that makes sense: The sun that explodes in the trailer is not our sun. Instead, it could be a flashback showing what the Cabal are capable of. A demonstration that they have already blown up stars. And such a fate could also befall our solar system if we do not manage to stop the Cabal.

The YouTuber “My name is Byf” puts forth this hypothesis: The Guardians will succeed in thwarting Ghaul’s plans and reclaiming the Traveler’s light. Therefore, the Cabal resort to their ultimate attack and use this super-weapon against our sun. That’s why we have to fight against the Cabal on this weapon, as seen in the gameplay material. With the aim of preventing our sun from suffering the same fate as the star that explodes in the trailer.

destiny 2 guardian sun

However, there’s also this theory: The Cabal are actually trying to blow up our sun. Here we can see a scene in which three Guardians are standing on Vex structures, looking toward a “sun” and several asteroids:

Where these Guardians actually are and “what exactly is being seen here” is unclear. Perhaps the Guardians need to use Vex technology to change the past.

destiny 2 another object
destiny 2 another object beam

Interesting: The huge weapon seems not only to be connected to the sun via the blue beam but also to another astronomical object:

A beam of rocks connects this object to the weapon. What this means is purely speculative.

What do you think? What happens to our sun in Destiny 2?

Overwatch: China clone “Hero Mission” is a fun copy

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

China is bringing out a new Overwatch copy. Bet you have seen the characters somewhere else before?

It’s an old hat that successful concepts and game ideas are often copied in China. Nevertheless, it is always surprising how brazen some developers go and use the ideas from other game studios. Now there is a new mobile shooter in China called “Hero Mission.” Just a glance at the game logo might make you skeptical, as it strongly resembles the Overwatch symbol.

Once you get into the game, you realize the full extent of the copy. Character abilities and their appearance have been largely taken over, with only minor changes to the design.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl_p4m8tA_I

Want a few examples?

Overwatch Hero Mission Widowmaker

Widowmaker has kept her purple color scheme, a sniper rifle, a sexy outfit, and of course the spider on her arm to make it even more obvious.

Overwatch Hero Mission Roadhog

Roadhog hides his face behind a mask, has a minigun in his arm (which fires like a shotgun) and of course his hook to pull enemies closer.

Overwatch Hero Mission Dva

D.Va at least had her mech stolen. But her cute face and the color scheme of her outfit and accessories remain. Her weapon still retains the familiar style.

Overwatch Hero Mission Mercy

We will never understand why someone stole Mercy’s pants.

Overwatch Hero Mission Sephiroth

But even with other games, some inspiration has been taken and funny mixtures have been created. The ninja Genji has been mixed here with Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII).

Moreover, there are characters from other franchises as well. If you want to, you can play as a stormtrooper from Star Wars – even if he of course doesn’t have the same name, he certainly looks quite like one.

But maybe all of this is just terrible coincidences. Right?

Last year, there was already the copy “Legend of Titan” – which was even a bit bolder.

Diablo 3: Special “Eternal” Version for PS4 and Xbox One?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

There will apparently be a special “Diablo 3” version for the console. The Eternal Collection is set to be released for PS4 and Xbox One.

A new Diablo III package could be available for console players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A leak from the Entertainment Software Rating Board shows the new bundle.

Diablo III – Eternal Collection Leak

On the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) website, video and mobile games are categorized into specific age and content categories. Recently, a new version of Diablo 3 titled “Eternal Collection” was classified there.

Diablo 3 Necro Title 4

Due to this entry in the ESRB database, it is suspected that the new collection is a bundle of the base game, the “Reaper of Souls” expansion, and the “Rise of the Necromancer” DLC. The necromancer package includes the necromancer class, a pet, wings, two character slots, spots in the loot chest, a portrait, and a banner.

No release date or price for this collection has been announced, nor is there an official announcement from Blizzard. We will have to wait and see when we can expect official news about the Eternal Collection. There may be more information when the team announces the necromancer with price and date.

So far we know: The necromancer is coming to Diablo 3 in patch 2.6.0

Bethesda is working on a freemium AAA game – Also on “Game of Thrones”?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

At E3, the developer studio Bethesda wants to introduce new games, and now rumors are swirling about a space RPG called Starfield, a “Game of Thrones” RPG, and a freemium AAA title.

What will Bethesda showcase at E3? Many fans are already excited and hoping for The Elder Scrolls 6. However, that is probably not going to happen, as the studio has repeatedly stated that the latest installment of the popular fantasy series is still far from release.

Much more likely are addons for Prey and Dishonored 2, the horror action-adventure The Evil Within 2, and a VR version of Fallout 4.

The Elder Scrolls Online
The hype surrounding The Elder Scrolls Online was huge, but then it dropped significantly.

A new free-to-play game

However, the game studio is currently looking for a “Game Performance Manager” who will take care of the operation and monetization of a new, yet-to-be-announced “freemium AAA game.” So, a free-to-play game is in development that is intended to have high quality.

What it might be about can now be speculated about. How about a Fallout Online, in which players explore the post-apocalyptic world and build settlements while defending them against raiders and other players? Perhaps we will learn more about it at E3.

Starfield and Game of Thrones

According to an insider, Bethesda is also currently working on a huge science fiction role-playing game called Starfield. This is supposed to play out similarly to The Elder Scrolls or Fallout, but is set in a large galaxy where you can explore several procedurally generated planets.

In this case, you operate from a space station, which gives the entire game a touch of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. There are a number of interesting NPCs who not only provide you with quests but are also part of your crew. Decisions with consequences are supposedly the focus according to the insider. The release date is allegedly still this year.

Game of Thrones

Furthermore, the insider reports that Bethesda is supposedly in negotiations with the TV channel HBO. A game set in the universe of the TV series Game of Thrones is apparently planned. However, nothing more is known about this, except that it is not expected to be released before 2020.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is expected to take place in the land of Akavir and is not expected to be released before 2023. A Fallout 5 is also in planning and offers the setting of New York.

Of course, these rumors should be taken with caution. We will likely learn more at E3 next week.

Andreas says:

Bethesda is working on several AAA games, all of which are supposed to be released before The Elder Scrolls 6. A science fiction RPG makes a lot of sense and would fit into the concept. And the idea that Bethesda could snag the Game of Thrones license doesn’t seem unreasonable either. Let’s see what the company surprises us with at E3. I am already very excited.

Pokémon GO: New AR technology makes encounters feel more “real”

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

The improved AR technology for iOS devices will be available soon. It is supported by Pokémon GO and makes encounters appear more realistic.

The developers at Apple are working on an enhanced augmented reality experience. The tool named ARKit has now been introduced for iOS devices. Pokémon GO will be one of the apps that will support ARKit, which should result in a better representation of the virtual monsters and items in the real world.

More realistic representation of Pokémon in the real world

With ARKit, iOS devices can track the world in front of the camera more accurately and recognize movements better. Through this technology, the device “understands” precisely how and where it is moving. It captures surfaces such as tables or floors to place virtual objects on. Additionally, the tool can better manage lighting conditions to adjust virtual objects on the display more to the light of the outside world.

In short: You can expect a more realistic Pokémon GO when you use the AR feature in the game. In the following Twitter video, you can get a rough idea of the new technology.

Pay attention to how the PokéBall actually bounces on the ground and doesn’t roll across the screen. We had to play the video several times to notice the differences more clearly. This is partly due to the poor quality of the video displayed.

What the ARKit is capable of is demonstrated much better in this presentation:

When this new technology will be available for Pokémon GO is still unknown. For many trainers, this might be a reason to reactivate the AR feature in the game when catching a wild monster.

WoW: Die Klassenreittiere sind da – welche Klasse hat das schönste?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Finally, class mounts are available in World of Warcraft. We want to know from you which one is the prettiest!

wow-legion-classmount-mage

As of this morning (06.06.2017), players of World of Warcraft can finally unlock their special class mounts. The mounts are a special reward at the end of the long questline from the Legion judges. With a final, quite epic mission, players finally receive the mount that has been promised to them for months. For some classes, there are even different color variations, which makes it even more appealing.

You can find an illustrated overview of all class mounts in this post.

WoW Class Mounts – which one is the best?

But which WoW class mount is the prettiest? Is it the owl of the priest? Or perhaps the felbat of the demon hunter? Are you more into the cool horses of the paladin? Or do you find yourself breathless at the sight of the shaman elementals?

So we want to know from you: Which class mount is the prettiest?

 

Haven’t unlocked your class mount yet? In this article, we reveal to you what requirements are necessary for that.

Cortyn says: Personally, I can’t get along very well with the owl for my shadow priest, even though the story quest for it was quite interesting, exciting, and coherent. Visually, I am rather disappointed. Instead, I really like the mount of the paladins with its different color variations, and the druid form is really nice too. But hey, I’ll probably get used to my owl in a few weeks – or never use it again.

In addition to class mounts, there are further rewards for some players in the Order Halls – but those are even harder to obtain!

Dauntless: E3 trailer shows new things, excites for Behemoth battle

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The development studio Phoenix Labs has released the E3 trailer for the action-packed online RPG Dauntless, showcasing several new features.

In Dauntless, you live on the “Shattered Isles”, floating islands that are ruled by the dark Behemoths. These pose a significant threat to humanity, which has retreated to the city of Ramsgate. From there, brave heroes venture out to liberate the individual islands from the Behemoths. Each slain monster grants the player new power in the form of the Embermane resource, which can be transformed into powerful equipment by a blacksmith in the city.

Dauntless-Shr

The Hunt for a Snow Shrike

The spectacular E3 trailer shows you the gameplay mechanics once again with gameplay footage. The video also presents a snowy landscape for the first time. Each of the different islands features various climate zones, which are intended to make exploration diverse.

On the different islands, there live climate-appropriate monsters. The snow island is home to a white Shrike, which looks like an oversized snow owl. 

New Class Chain Blades and the City of Ramsgate

The trailer also features the Chain Blades class, which has not been mentioned before. A Chain Blade quickly utilizes combo attacks to weaken the opponent. You also catch your first glimpses of the city of Ramsgate, which serves as a hub and retreat. In Ramsgate, you meet other players, can craft and equip yourself, and take on new missions that will lead you to the individual islands, which you reach by airship.

The action RPG Dauntless is currently in an alpha phase. However, the test does not occur continuously but rather intermittently on specified days. If you want to participate, you can sign up for the alpha on the official website or purchase one of the founder packs.

Overwatch: Sombras Translokator-Bug – Nervige Tode

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A bug in Overwatch causes funny scenes. Sombra’s Translocator kills her every now and then.

Currently, the patch 1.11 is active in Overwatch, which is also called the “anniversary patch” by the fans because it brought the corresponding event to Overwatch. However, there is also a new bug with Sombra that has not occurred before.

overwatch-sombra-skills

More and more players are reporting that Sombra’s Translocator is not working as it is intended. The Translocator actually operates in two steps. On the first key press, Sombra throws the Translocator to a target location where it stays for a while. If desired, the ability can be used again, causing you to teleport directly to the Translocator. However, that is not always the case. It is happening more and more often that Sombra arrives at her target location dead! The reason for this seems to be that the mechanics of the Translocator were slightly changed with the last patch. Instead of teleporting “immediately”, Sombra’s “hitboxes” – meaning her damage zones through which she can take damage – remain in place. This then leads to Sombra dying during the teleport or arriving dead at her target location.

Some YouTubers have already made a joke out of this and published videos showcasing the issue.

Blizzard is aware of this bug and says they have already “attempted to fix it multiple times”, but have not been able to identify the exact origin yet. The ability should actually work just like Tracer’s recall – but it doesn’t. Hopefully, the bug will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches so that fewer dead Sombras will be flying around the world.

In China, Blizzard is now using a trick to bypass the law – they are selling in-game credits for absurd prices!

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds: Record! 200,000 online at the same time

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The battle royale action game Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is a surprise success and the developers are happy to see more than 200,000 players online at the same time.

The current all-time high of players who were online at the same time is currently at 209,236. For a game that is still in early access, this is a very high number and thus a complete success for the game’s developers.

Just a few days ago, the last record was reached with 193,000 players online at the same time. As it can be seen, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is steadily gaining new fans, so the number is expected to rise even further in the future.

Playerunknowns-Battlegrounds-buggy

A complete success

Since the start of the early access phase in March, PUBG, the short form of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, has sold over 2 million copies. The game is a complete success on Steam. The developers are currently also planning to release console versions for PS4 and Xbox One.

And of course, the PC version is to be expanded with new content and many updates. The fast-paced, action-packed battles are very well received by the players. You can tell that the developers are putting their heart and soul into the game.

Will there be a story campaign?

Playerunknowns Battlegrounds

Currently, there is even the dream of giving the game a story campaign, which players should experience cooperatively in small groups and which should run like a single-player game.

In this case, it would be the players’ task to free the island from the crew as a team. But first, the actual game should be completed before possibly pursuing this dream.

Do you also play Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds? What do you think of the title?
