Our games for the weekend – What are you playing from 19.5. – 21.5.?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Only a few hours left, and for most people, it’s the weekend! A lot of free time to do all the things you didn’t have the chance to do during the week, such as gaming. Therefore, we want to know: What are you playing this weekend?

Another week has passed, and the prospect of two free days full of gaming pleasure is likely to delight many gamers. The upcoming weekend is particularly interesting for fans of fantasy and brutal melee action.

Games this Weekend – For Honor – Romans vs. Ninjas

for-honor-zenturio

Two games are particularly worth playing this weekend: One of them is For Honor. Ubisoft’s bloody melee battleground began its second season this week. This includes even more areas to conquer, a revamped item system, and two completely new hero classes.

One of them is the burly Centurion, who – admittedly quite anachronistically – fights on the side of the Knights as a combo-intensive hybrid class. On the side of the Samurai, the Shinobi comes into play, a swift ninja who is faster than all other heroes and can strike from a distance with his Kusarigama fighting sickles. Unfortunately, these two new heroes are currently only available to owners of a season pass. All other players will get them on May 23.

Games this Weekend: The Elder Scrolls Online – Prepare for the Journey

eso zauberwald

Another game that is likely to be very popular this weekend is The Elder Scrolls Online. In ZeniMax’s Elder Scrolls MMO, early access for PC players to the highly anticipated addon Morrowind begins on Monday, May 22. Therefore, many players will already be preparing for the start of the addon and dig out their old heroes for Vvardenfell.

After all, Morrowind offers plenty of new content, including an island full of exotic animals and plants, a living god who needs your help, an entire city as a raid, and PvP battlefields. To be optimally prepared, you can start collecting crafting materials, completing old quests, and thinking about your builds, because the Morrowind update will significantly alter some heroes – like the Templar.

What is the Editorial Team Playing?

As gaming editors, hardly a day goes by without us gaming, and on the weekend, we are equally unstoppable. Here are the highlights of the editorial team for the upcoming weekend:

  • Leya will soon dive deeper into the Final Fantasy addon Stormblood and this weekend will unusually not destroy her enemies with Eevie in Paladins. Instead, she will play Final Fantasy 14, to be optimally prepared for Stormblood.
  • Schuhmann, the boss, has a new passion: Marvel Future Fight, an action MMO with Marvel heroes from the new Korean gaming giant Netmarble, which he plays on his iPad. But don’t worry, the boss remains loyal to “real” games as well and balances it out by diving into ESO, as he also wants to venture to Vvardenfell on Monday with his old Khajiit Nightblade.
  • Ttime will be playing – as always – Destiny this weekend, but this time he is also drawn to the blood-soaked battlefields of For Honor. Since he has a season pass, he can play the new heroes early. Especially the burly Centurion has captured his interest, as he has brutal executions.
  • Patrick will be much more peaceful this weekend and is looking forward to long walks with his dog. The Adventure Week event is happening in Pokémon Go, and there are all sorts of rocky beasts to catch.
  • Cortyn will only be playing analog games offline this weekend since she has guests and doesn’t want to be rude.

I, Jürgen, unfortunately only have time to game properly on the PC this evening, as I unexpectedly have to leave over the weekend. But still, I will let loose in For Honor today, and as a Raider, I will murder innocent Shinobis. So far, most players have not optimally mastered the new hero, and even a casual For Honor player like myself can manage a few kills. For the rest of the weekend, I will play Schuhmann’s insider tip Marvel Future Fight on my tablet and finally finish the current DSA adventure in my Pen&Paper group.

But that’s enough about our gaming escapades. We want to know what you plan to play this weekend. Let us know in the comments!

Destiny 2 Gameplay: The first have played it – What do the testers say?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

On the previous May 18, the live event for Destiny 2 took place, where representatives of the press were also invited on-site and even had the opportunity to play the online player hands-on themselves. What do the testers say in their first impressions of Destiny 2?

In the meantime, there are some impressions from those who took the opportunity to play. Overall, the mood regarding Destiny 2 is very positive. Especially the story mission “Homecoming” left a good impression. It feels denser in terms of story and presentation than the story missions in the first part. A more exciting atmosphere emerged.

destiny 2 warlock_story_heroic_02
Some things feel routine

Although the played strike and PvP were also impressive, the wow effect was missing here because these gameplay elements feel familiar from the predecessor. In terms of raids, nothing was playable yet, but the question arose as to whether there would be only one, as there was always talk of “the” raid.

According to Bungie, only about half of the players participated in the raids in Destiny 1 anyway. They hope to encourage more players to participate in the raid in Destiny 2 through the new “guide games.” It is quite conceivable that they will start with only one raid.

destiny 2_pvp_action_07

The new weapons and attacks were well received by the event participants, as they offer varied gameplay and the super attacks bring additional options that make the fights even more dynamic. However, some elements were not yet integrated. For example, players could not inspect the weapons, and only the inventory was accessible. All other information about the character was not yet included in the game.

Graphically just a Destiny 1.5

Graphically, the game was able to generate enthusiasm, but compared to its predecessor, the visual innovations are only on a smaller scale. Graphically, many see Destiny 2 more as a Destiny 1.5, which, however, does not detract from the fun, as the visuals are still excellent and the overall style creates a fantastic atmosphere.

Interestingly, for some, Destiny 2 did not feel like a real sequel but rather like a kind of reboot. This was because everything is essentially reset to zero. The equipment, the characters, the balancing … Essentially, Destiny 2 clears the slate and offers a sort of fresh start, which should provide a good entry point for PC players who could not experience the first part.

Details will significantly impact the fun

Overall, the mood was extremely positive, and those who were able to play the game on-site agree that Destiny 2 will be a worthy successor to an already fantastic game.

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warships is getting the first historical campaign with update 0.6.5. For a limited time, you can hunt the Bismarck and unlock cool rewards.

World of Warships, the battleship spectacle from Wargaming, consists of battles with wild assortments of ships that blow each other to pieces. To give all the shooting a deeper meaning, patch 0.6.5 introduces the first historical campaign that sends you on a hunt for the feared Bismarck.

World of Warships – Hunt the Bismarck in 7 Episodes

The first historical campaign in World of Warships runs from May 19 to June 8 and is entirely dedicated to the hunt for the Bismarck. This spectacle has a historical background, as the German battleship Bismarck indeed caused fear and terror in the North Atlantic in May 1941 after it spectacularly sank the British flagship HMS Hood.

World of warships campaign

This is how the Bismarck sparked the combined wrath of the Royal Navy, and a large part of the British fleet scoured the ocean to sink the giant battleship.

World of warships collection

You can symbolically replay this spectacular hunt in World of Warships. You will complete up to seven missions, each consisting of 8 sub-tasks. For example, you must spot 6 German ships in a battle or sink two enemy battleships with HMS Hood. All these tasks must be completed in random battles with ships of tier 5 or higher.

As a reward, with each mission you will receive special ship equipment, and anyone who completes all missions will receive the Bismarck along with two new skins for HMS Hood. Those who already have the Bismarck will receive a free berth and 11 million credits. Additionally, there are cool historical facts about the campaign after each mission as a small bonus.

World of Warships: Patch 0.6.5 Collections and UI Adjustments

The historical campaign is not the only highlight of update 0.6.5. The patch brings several new features, including:

  • You can acquire collectibles from containers in the Bismarck campaign and later campaigns and store them in special collectible albums. Once you fill an album, you will receive new skins for ships.
  • The user interface has been improved, allowing you to better view your campaigns.
  • There are new camouflage skins for ships.
  • The appearance of numerous ships at tier 9 will be graphically improved.
  • There are new signal flags that you can earn in the Bismarck campaign.

LoL: Quests – With missions you will soon earn skins & loot

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

A new feature in League of Legends rewards you with skins when you complete mission objectives. This is how the developers envision the challenges.

With daily quests and missions, many online games like Heroes of the Storm or Hearthstone keep their players entertained. “Win X games and earn in-game currency” is a common pattern that many missions use.

Similar missions await you soon in League of Legends. The developers have now shown what the missions will look like and provided good and bad examples.

Quests in LoL

LoL Missions

Quests provide players with challenges for which they can earn rewards such as unique skins, summoner icons, and other loot. It is unclear how the system will look in a few years, but the developers stick to a few basic rules. It is important to differentiate between good missions (that help the game) and bad missions (that harm the game).

Basic Rule #1: Missions should not encourage trolling

  • The matches should not be negatively affected by missions. This means that mission objectives should not be related to losses or encourage players to play suboptimally. Special cases will exist when five players share the same challenge.
  • Good Mission: Win three games with at least 10 kills/assists.
  • Bad Mission: Win a game as Lux with 300 AD.
    LoL-Lux

Basic Rule #2: Missions should challenge your skill – Not your patience

  • Not every mission can be completed easily in one afternoon. However, they should also not be solely dependent on how much time you can invest in the game.
  • Good Mission: Win three games with Leona and receive a rating of “A” or higher.
  • Bad Mission: Play 100 games with Leona.

The goal of the missions is for players to enjoy facing various challenges.

Why now?

In the past, the quest theme had already come up in the League of Legends community. Fans wished for a similar system like in Hearthstone, but this was difficult to implement, partly because of the client.

However, the developers want to offer in-game goals that can be achieved “quickly” and give players rewards. Such missions have already existed during events like Bilgewater: Burning Tides or Snowdown. In combination with the “old client,” such tasks were difficult to implement, and the rewards had to be distributed manually. The new client offers much more potential for that, which is now to be realized.

Will everything soon revolve around missions?

First and foremost, League of Legends remains a PvP game where the goal is to battle in the Rift. The developers emphasize this in the blog post. It is not an RPG where everything revolves around questing or checking off one goal after another on a list. Missions are only meant to bring a fresh breeze alongside the normal gameplay.

LoL Rakan Xayah Title

Nevertheless, there may be interconnected missions for various events, where you can prove your loyalty to TSM or other teams. Unique icons as rewards may be given for that. Other missions could revolve around retracing the story of a champion.

Smaller missions will kick things off to gather feedback from fans. Based on the feedback and in-game stats for various missions, the developers will then decide which missions will have a future in League of Legends.

However, there is no exact start date for the missions yet. Maybe we will see them soon via a pop-up in the game. After the Mid-Season Invitational, perhaps?

This new feature has long been desired by LoL players – No more annoying teammates!

Mein-MMO fragt: Wie hat Euch der Gameplay-Reveal zu Destiny 2 gefallen?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

We want to know today: How did you like the gameplay reveal of Destiny 2? Were you impressed or rather disappointed?

On Fridays, we regularly have a “Mein-MMO asks” on our site. In this format, we want to hear your opinion directly on mostly current topics. And this Friday, there is only one defining topic in the gaming world: Destiny 2.

Last night, the big gameplay premiere for the sequel to Destiny took place, and a bunch of exciting information has been pouring in and continues to do so. If you are like me: I haven’t really processed it all yet. Because right after the show, the stream of information continued: The developers talked in interviews about dedicated servers and the PC version, and early gameplay from YouTubers is now arriving bit by bit. This all needs to be sorted and processed!

destiny 2 guardian_story_env_01

So you don’t miss any information, you can regularly visit our page about Destiny 2 today and in the coming days. There you will find all our articles in one overview.

My Highlights: The Zavala Trailer and the First Story Mission

Personally, I really enjoyed the show. There were cool trailers, we got to see some first in-game footage, ViDocs were shown, and important figures spoke live on stage about the many innovations. After nearly an hour full of information, the fun was over.

destiny-2-zavala_story_heroic_03

The show started with a render video showing the origin of the Last City. The trailer begins with Zavala being revived by his ghost, confronting Fallen, and founding a community among guardians under the Traveler. The Last City begins to take shape. A really cool trailer that gives you goosebumps!

Only a few minutes later in the show, the first story mission called “Homecoming” was presented. The Cabal attack the Last City in this mission. It’s about standing against them. The gameplay starts in the Tower Square and left a strong impression during the stream. Lots of action, many new weapons, many cutscenes.

destiny 2 ikora_story_action_01

If all missions in Destiny 2 are staged like this, then there is definitely a lot more going on than in the story missions of Destiny 1. I definitely want more.

However, many questions still remain. I found it surprisingly lacking in information about the endgame, the focus was clearly on the story and the new worlds in which there will be secrets to discover. But once the story is mastered and the secrets are discovered, what is there left to do?

We can only hope that Bungie will provide a comprehensive endgame in Destiny 2. We know that there is supposed to be the Crucible, a new raid, and new strikes. What else there is to do remains to be seen. By the way, there is still no information about the progression and loot systems.

But now we want to know your opinion: Did the gameplay premiere meet all your expectations? Or are you disappointed that exactly the information you were waiting for is missing?

Hearthstone: Blizzard makes fun of meme – Uther and printer problems

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Had problems with your printer before? Don’t worry, Uther the Lightbringer from Hearthstone is here to assist you with advice and support.

The team behind Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone is sometimes quite crazy. When an expansion came without a theme song, Hearthstone’s chief Ben Brode had to sing a little song himself. To kick off “The Journey to Un’Goro”, there was a video diary “straight from the jungle” – with rather mediocre results.

However, the Hearthstone team is not discouraged and has now uploaded another clip. Here we follow a typical office employee who is having some trouble with his printer. Fortunately, Uther and Gul’Dan (each in great cosplay outfits) are there to help.

As a decent Paladin of the Silver Hand should, Uther recites from the holy scriptures of the manual, while Gul’dan tempts him to finally “fulfill the destiny” and take a sip of green tea.

Cortyn says: The green fel teapot has been the last straw for me. As ridiculous as the whole clip is, somehow I enjoyed it. What exactly Blizzard wants to convey with this? I have no idea – but maybe that’s for the best.

Hearthstone is getting new features soon – which also makes copying easier, but of decks.

ArcheAge will get even bigger – 3.5 brings content “like an addon”

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The sandbox MMO ArcheAge is getting a major update called “Eternal Erenor” soon. This is almost as big as an expansion. It will introduce three new sea areas, improved crafting, and more PvP content.

ArcheAge erenor update 01

ArcheAge, the sandbox MMORPG by Trion Worlds, already features a vast world that you can explore freely. With the latest addon Revelation, the world has already been expanded with some zones, but that is still not enough. The upcoming update 3.5, “Eternal Erenor,” will bring you three new areas and other content that offers something for every type of player.

ArcheAge – Three new sea areas and fairer crafting

ArcheAge erenor update 03

The giant update 3.5 will be released on June 7 and brings a lot of new content. PvE and exploration fans should particularly look forward to the three new sea areas Walwogen Straits, Aegis Island, and Walsang Harbor. These zones each feature a ton of quests and quest hubs where you can recover from adventures.

Crafting fans, on the other hand, should be excited about the new crafting advancement system, which eschews annoying random generators. This should make crafting your own items fairer and more accessible.

ArcheAge: New battlefields – PvP and PvE in one

The new update also offers new PvP challenges. Two new battlefields in the open world present a mix of PvE and PvP. There you will face waves upon waves of enemies, which you can also fight back with bombs, mines, and artillery. The rewards include honor points and valuable crafting materials for the new crafting items from the update.

ArcheAge: Level up further with the Ancestor Level system

With update 3.5, you can level up past level 55 for the first time in ArcheAge.

Once you have reached the current maximum level, you can collect the power of your ancestors and become even stronger through an alternative progression system. Such systems are very popular in potential MMOs – for example, ESO or WildStar. To do this, you need a lot of experience and “Ancient Warrior Medals.”

This way, you can level up to 7 Ancestor Levels and learn your own Ancestor Skills, which utilize the power of the elements. This will allow you to enhance your existing skills with attributes of the elements. A lightning-enhanced dragon strike will become faster, for example, and if you empower the skill with earthquake power, it will turn into an area effect.

Destiny 2 – Neue Waffen, neue Exotics und ein Redesign der Waffen-Slots

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2 there are plenty of new weapons and exotics. Additionally, the weapon slots are being revamped.

Destiny 2 is primarily a shooter: This means everything revolves around weapons! As the Guardians lose all their items from Destiny 1 with Destiny 2, one of the most exciting questions was: What will Guardians use to shoot enemies in the future?

According to Luke Smith, a lot of new weapons, new armor, and brand new exotics have been created for Destiny 2. Some of these were shown during the gameplay premiere of Destiny 2 on May 18th, which we will embed further down in the article for you.

But not only are the weapons new, but also the weapon slots in Destiny 2.

These weapon slots you have in Destiny 2

Primary weapon, special weapon, and heavy weapon – these were the slots in Destiny 1. This system is being broken with Destiny 2. Now there are:

  • a slot for the kinetic weapon
  • a slot for an energy weapon
  • and a slot for a power weapon.

Power weapons are considered firearms such as fusion rifles, sniper rifles, or grenade launchers (a new category of weapons).

destiny 2 hand cannon

In the kinetic slot and the energy slot, the same types of weapons are used. The only difference: In the energy slot, they deal elemental damage. Here you use, for example, pistols, hand cannons, or SMGs, which are now confirmed. Here is a hand cannon with solar damage in the energy slot:

destiny smg

Here is an SMG with solar damage:

destiny 2 void grenade launcher

The power weapons also have elemental damage, like this void grenade launcher:

Interesting: In the weapon stats, the rate of fire is now shown below the bar display and is given as a concrete number. Additionally, a new stat called “Handling” is introduced.

This restructuring is intended to give Guardians more options and freedom to create builds and play with the types of weapons they like. Fans of hand cannons can, for example, equip hand cannons in both slots.

Exotics in Destiny 2

destiny 2 sunshot

Exotic weapons are also present in Destiny 2. This is the exotic hand cannon “Sunshot”, which according to the perks is about explosions and “solar energy”:

An exotic SMG was also playable at the gameplay premiere. It is called “Risk Runner”, deals arc damage, and regenerates ammunition when you are under fire. Here you see this new weapon type in action:

The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind “Solo players, do not fear the MMO!”

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Morrowind, the new chapter add-on for The Elder Scrolls Online is starting soon, and the developers want to ensure that solo players feel engaged with the new ESO installment. Therefore, there is an extra “Solo Players Guide”.

Morrowind, the first chapter add-on The Elder Scrolls Online will be released for PC pre-order customers on May 22 and offers a vast world full of new adventures. However, ESO is an MMO. Do solo players have a place there, or do they need to seek a group or even a guild and play with other people?

the elder scrolls online raid 02

An official guide for solo players aims to provide an answer to this.

The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind – Solo players are warmly welcome

The elder scrolls online morrowind beta 10

The developers at Zenimax and Bethesda want to ensure that solo players also feel comfortable in ESO. After all, the game is still an Elder Scrolls game, and it is important that it can be played solo, despite the MMO genre. To ease solo players’ apprehension of the scary word “MMO”, the developers have released a comprehensive “Single Player Guide”.

In it, you will find seven tips on how you can have fun in ESO as a solo player. The tips range from the right class choice to advice on looting and even how to receive buffs as a solo player. You can find the full guide here at Bethesda – even in German.

What do you think of the idea of offering such a guide for solo players? Useful or silly? And should solo players even be allowed to play an MMO like ESO, or do you believe it is mandatory to play in a group and not do everything alone? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny 2: No dedicated servers – For PS4 Pro it is capped at 30 FPS

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, there are some dampeners for technical hopes. Neither dedicated servers will be coming, nor will it run over 30 FPS on PS4, PS4 Pro, or Xbox One.

In an interview with IGN, the two heads of Destiny 2, Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy, discuss the technical decisions and limitations they had to make for Destiny 2.

Too much going on for 60 FPS – but 4k for PS4 Pro

Some players had hoped that at least the PS4 Pro would deliver Destiny 2 at more than 30 FPS. However, that will not be the case. Destiny 2 is too demanding, with physics and many AI opponents, projectiles flying, and vehicles. Therefore, it’s not possible. The PS4 Pro does have a lot of graphical power, which is why the PS4 Pro supports 4k resolution in Destiny 2.

Regarding Scorpio, the enhanced Xbox One, Bungie has not provided any details yet. They are not discussing that right now.

In another interview, a staff member who works on the PC port of Destiny 2 confirms: “Yes, the consoles are locked at 30 FPS.”

Destiny 2: Clear denial for dedicated servers

Noseworthy clearly denies the desire for “dedicated servers.”

This is a request from Destiny fans for many years. Destiny 1 operates with a “peer-to-peer” system: one of the players “hosts” the match and the other players. Many blame this technique for lags and issues in Destiny’s PvP.

With “dedicated servers,” Bungie would have official servers, managed by them, on which everything in Destiny 2 would take place, not just some – as it is currently.

Dedicated-Server-Destiny

Fans expect less lag and fair conditions for PvP, especially for the Trials of Osiris, from the introduction of dedicated servers.

But that won’t happen. This is not an investment that has been made for Destiny 2. Instead, Bungie once again promises improvements to matchmaking.

The only version that will play Destiny 2 at more than 30 FPS is the PC version. However, it will come out later than the console version:

Overwatch: Hart am abtanzen – Dance-Emotes für die Helden

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The emotes from Overwatch get a new category. Soon, the dance floor will be opened!

From May 23, the new “Anniversary Event” will take place in Overwatch, celebrating the first birthday of the hero shooter. Exact information about the event’s proceedings and contents is still sparse. However, Blizzard is slowly revealing details. Through the Brazilian Twitter account of Overwatch, a small preview of some of the new emotes that will be introduced into the game world with the event has been provided.

It has been demanded by fans for a long time, and now it is becoming a reality. Like in almost all other Blizzard games, the heroes will learn to groove with their own dance emote!

So far, dances for Sombra, Lúcio, Symmetra, and Zenyatta have been released, with Zenyatta’s dance looking more like a strange yoga exercise meant to bring the Chi into balance… or something like that. As it should be, the heroes dance to the music of their favorite DJ, Lúcio.

Since Lúcio provides the music, it is not surprising that the preview comes from the Brazilian Twitter account—after all, Lúcio comes from that region.

Overwatch dances only for 4 characters?

Overwatch Lucio Turntable

It is still unclear whether all characters will receive their own dance or if this only applies to the four shown heroes. Given the positive reactions in the forums and on Reddit, it seems clear that Blizzard must allow this for all heroes. And to be honest: Who wouldn’t want to see a swaying Reinhardt?

On a completely different note, whether you will ever have the opportunity to fully utilize a dance in a normal match remains to be seen—but it’s all about the possibility.

Another emote has already been confirmed for Reaper—the sarcastic shrug from the comic “Uprising”.

H1Z1 King of the Kill is back on top with this giant update

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The battle royale online shooter H1Z1 King of the Kill has recently been surpassed on Steam by competitor PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Now H1Z1 strikes back with a huge update that brings new game modes, additional points on the map, and improved inventory and crafting.

H1Z1 King of the Kill is the PvP offshoot of the zombie survival game H1Z1 Just Survive. In a battle royale, you fight against a bunch of other players in the post-zombie apocalypse. The game has performed well so far, but in recent weeks it has faced tough competition in the form of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The “other battle royale game” has recently even overtaken King of the Kill on Steam.

However, King of the Kill is not resting and has released a big update that brings many changes.

H1Z1 King of the Kill – Skirmish mode and better weapons

H1Z1 underwear

As a top feature of the update, the popular skirmish mode returns. These are special matches that have their own, weekly changing rules. The first skirmish will be called “Shotties & Snipers”. In this, only the namesake shotguns and sniper rifles are allowed, which should either lead to shootouts at very close or very long distances.

Shotguns particularly benefit from a weapon upgrade. From now on, the game places shots from shotguns more compactly, leading to reliable shooting. Additionally, you can now always fire your weapons regardless of how close you are to cover or another object. Furthermore, there are three new points of interest on the map, each catering to a different playstyle: house combat, fast-paced action, and camping in buildings.

H1Z1 King of the Kill – Better crafting and inventory

So far, the crafting screen and inventory of King of the Kill have been confusing and not very accessible. That has changed with the update. You can now display all crates at once and thus selectively choose what you need.

These four skins are part of the many new contents that will be available for the Anniversary Event in Overwatch . You can take a look at them in the video now.

Overwatch is turning one year old and is celebrating this with a big Anniversary Event in the game. To celebrate from May 23, 2017, to June 12, 2017, there will be new contents in the game, such as four skins, which have now been presented in a video. Fans of Soldier: 76, Zarya, Pharah, and Bastion can look forward to the following cosmetic changes.

Anniversary Event – New Skins

The video featuring the skin preview was originally shared on Overwatch’s Korean Twitter page. Unfortunately, there were no further details about the cosmetic changes. Prices can only be speculated based on the last events.

It is still uncertain which skin category the new appearances of the characters will belong to. Therefore, it cannot be said with certainty how much these new contents will cost. During the Uprising Event in April, the prices of most skins were 3000 coins. Whether there will be special discounts during the Anniversary Event, or if the prices will again be 3000 coins, remains unclear.

Overwatch Anniversary Event: Neuer „Arena“-Spielmodus?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

More hints about a new game mode for Overwatch are emerging. Do you have what it takes to be a Gladiator?

In Overwatch, we are strongly approaching the next in-game event, the first anniversary of the game – or the “Overwatch Anniversary Event”. Just yesterday, Blizzard released a first teaser showcasing three new maps that will debut with the Anniversary Event in Overwatch. Unlike initially suspected, the three new maps are not for the “3vs3” and “1vs1” game modes, but for a brand new arena mode.

This has become particularly notable as several clever dataminers have found numerous sound files in the game files.

According to reports, players can hear Athena greeting them in the arena first (as with any other map) and then giving them titles.

Apparently, players can earn titles like “Challenger” or “Gladiator”, which presumably relate directly to their performance in the game.

Items or Power-Ups in Overwatch?

It is also odd that many heroes now have a voice line where they rejoice over receiving an (apparently random) item. For instance, you can hear Reinhardt asking: “What an incredible treasure is this?”

And even Winston lets out a bit of his gorilla side and wonders: “Ooo-Ooo, what did I just get?”

Overwatch Ana Fanart

So it is possible that characters will receive different buffs to gain an advantage in the arena. On Reddit, people are also speculating that it could be “a bit like Super Smash Bros.” – but expectations might be set too high there.

How exactly a match in the arena will play out is still unclear. We will probably find out on May 23, when the Overwatch Anniversary Event officially starts and brings – alongside the arena mode – many new cosmetic items.

What it means to collect Reaper souls is explained by Jeff Kaplan in an amusing video.

Destiny 2: Release date on PC probably later than on PS4, Xbox One

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The MMO shooter Destiny 2 will likely be released on PC later than on PS4 and Xbox One. September 8, 2017 is not the official release date for the PC version of Destiny 2.

Surprise late at night. Until now, it was assumed that September 8 would be the release date of Destiny 2 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. That is not the case.

Destiny 2 currently has no release date for PC, says Game Director Luke Smith to “PC Gamer”. They have not yet settled on a PC release date.

Bungie wants to ensure that the PC port is as good as possible. They aim to achieve this through the partnership with Blizzard.

Destiny 2 Shield
Let it bake in the oven until the PC version is delicious

Bungie wants to “give it time in the oven” until it is a delicious piece of bread when the version is released.

Smith says he cannot yet say for sure how much the PC version of Destiny 2 will be delayed. Bungie plans to announce a release date in the coming weeks.

This news raises concerns about whether a beta for the PC will be ready in time. How long will PC players have to wait until they can get their hands on Destiny 2 for the first time?

Destiny 2 Beta Start: What do we already know about the beta?

Destiny2 Team
Bad surprise for PC players

Mein-MMO says: An unusual situation for PC players. Nobody expected this.

No one can stand it when they feel their version is being “disadvantaged.” There will surely be some typing, “Then I won’t play it at all“. Just the statement that Destiny 2 will not come to Steam prompts some PC gamers to such postings.

If Destiny 2 appears later on PC, much that is new would be known through the console versions: The thrill of the release, entering undiscovered land, would be endangered.

Not a good situation for Destiny 2 on PC. A “weak port” under pressure would be just as bad.

Destiny 2 PC: 60 FPS (or more) – not on Steam, only on Battle.net

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The MMO shooter Destiny 2 is coming to PC and will achieve 60 FPS or much more. However, the game will not be available on Steam, but only on Blizzard’s Battle.net. This means: You will be able to purchase Destiny 2 with WoW Gold.

There is information about the PC version of Destiny 2. Activision had previously promised “PC tailored features“. During the gameplay presentation, Bungie did not discuss this, as the focus was on Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro.

But the website Kotaku has come forward with initial information regarding the PC port of Destiny 2.

These are the specifications for Destiny 2 on PC

This is how Destiny 2 will be.

  • Destiny 2 will support 4k (3820×2160)
  • the framerate is “not capped,” so 60 FPS or more is achievable
  • Destiny 2 will fully support mouse and keyboard, and players can also remap the keys
  • There will be a text chat
  • The field of view will be adjustable
  • There are PC settings
  • and support for 21:9 monitors

Not on Steam, only on battle.net – You can pay with WoW Gold in Destiny 2

There was one more surprise. Destiny 2 will run exclusively on PC through Blizzard, that is through “Battle.net” or the Blizzard app, as it is now called. This means Destiny 2 will not be released through Steam. 

It is assumed that Activision did not want to give up a percentage to Valve since they already have Blizzard’s Battle.net.

Destiny 2.13

At Blizzard, they say:

  • Destiny 2 is currently the only “non-Blizzard” game that Blizzard offers through Battle.net. It is said that Blizzard loves Destiny so much that they make this exception. They say: If Bungie had to develop its own network for Destiny 2, the PC release of Destiny 2 would have been delayed. Blizzard could not wait to finally play Destiny 2, so they provided their sister company with their own platform.
  • Support and servers are provided by Bungie, we have nothing to do with that. Through our servers, the typical “Battle.net” social functions run. So you can make friends through Battle.net and see from Destiny 2 who among your friends is currently playing Hearthstone.
  • You will also be able to use “Blizzard credit” in Destiny 2. This credit can be acquired by exchanging in-game gold for a WoW token in WoW. This token then becomes Battle.net credit and with it, you could buy items in Destiny 2 or in-game items in any of the games that run through Battle.net – like skins in Overwatch, card packs in Hearthstone or playtime in WoW.

There is much more information about Destiny 2 in our extensive report on the live stream:

What can be seen in the trailer?

At the beginning of the trailer, the Vanguard faces an unknown problem: The defense systems have been sabotaged. “The sensors outside the wall are dead.” A threat is approaching. Zavala looks out the window and sees enemy ships approaching in the storm. Quick on his feet, he gathers the people around him and shields them with his Titan bubble. The Tower is under fire.

From the gameplay premiere, we already know that the first mission connects to this cinematic. You will then fight on the Tower plaza, have to search for the Speaker, and face an overwhelming force of Cabal.

In the gameplay trailer, Ghaul speaks to you: “Your journey ends here.”

The trailer shows you some weapons in action, as well as armor pieces, Sparrows, ships, and other tank-like vehicles. Additionally, there are three new subclasses:

  • Dawnblade (Warlock with sword)
  • Sentinel (Titan with shield)
  • Arcstrider (Hunter – staff)
    destiny 2 worlds

In addition, glimpses of the new worlds are visible. You will fight on Earth, in the European Dead Zone, which is said to be the largest area by far. Additionally, on Titan, Io, and Nessus.
