A touch of Minecraft is in the air when playing Overwatch in this unusual resolution.
In games like Overwatch, you usually try to get the most out of the game. The focus is on satisfactory graphics with stable, high FPS rates. Sometimes, you make a compromise between the two factors and have to lower the graphics to achieve higher FPS rates. The video shows how the game looks when the resolution is altered dramatically and played on the lowest settings, as demonstrated by YouTuber MinorVidsPC.

In the video, the resolution is gradually reduced until a resolution of about 100×105 is reached. To achieve this low resolution, MinorVidsPC enabled windowed mode and modified values in the settings file of Overwatch. This allowed him to go below the specified minimum resolution of the game.
In the comments, MinorVidsPC mentions that he plays Overwatch on PC at a resolution of 640×480 to achieve stable FPS.
As a test, we entered a resolution of 300×300 in the settings file and got this small window that conveniently fits in the (non-maximized) BattleNet client. Playing like this is a challenge, which looks even more interesting when YouTube upscales the video. If this becomes a trend, we might soon be able to play Overwatch on the Gameboy Color or similar devices.
Liberty City is being incorporated into the world of GTA 5. The alpha screenshots already make you want to cruise the streets of GTA 4!
The offline world of Grand Theft Auto V will soon be enhanced with Liberty City. A team is currently working on a modification for GTA 5, which is in the alpha phase. You can see what the old city looks like in the new world in the screenshots.
Liberty City in GTA 5
On the map of GTA 5, Liberty City will find its place in the water. To visit the city, you can take a plane and start your adventure like Niko Bellic at the Liberty City airport.
In the city, there are many sights that impressed players in GTA IV. These include the Happiness Statue, Chinatown, and the Broker Bridge, which players often have to drive over during the campaign. The mod will feature all the streets and places you have already visited in GTA 4.
Work is still ongoing on the mod, but these new screenshots should prepare you for what to expect soon.
To use this modification and enter Liberty City in GTA 5, you must have GTA IV and GTA V installed on your computer. This allows the map to be imported into the new game and appears on the map with the help of the mod. Please note that this mod is intended for offline mode only, and some mods in online mode may lead to a ban.
So far, there is unfortunately no release date for the Liberty City mod. We will inform you as soon as we learn something new about the release.
With the next update for World of Warcraft, Blizzard aims to appeal to long-time fans – Tarrens Mill will become a battlefield.
Anyone who has been playing World of Warcraft for 12 years or knows someone who has, will have heard of the legendary battles in the Hillsbrad Foothills. The two cities Tarrens Mill (Horde) and Southshore (Alliance) were closer together than any other major settlements in the game world. This led to players from both factions showing up there every day to beat the enemies: Open World PvP.
There was no real reward for this. An honor system was not implemented at the time, and a display that counted victories over other players was only developed later. It was purely the “Alliance vs. Horde” feeling without any real incentive from the game – just for the fun of it.
With Patch 7.2, Blizzard wants to revive this battle in the form of a “Brawl”. These are limited-time PvP events intended to provide variety for PvP players and will be renewed at regular intervals, just like the card chaos in Hearthstone or the Brawl in Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm.
In the past, for the 10th anniversary of World of Warcraft, players could register for the battlefield “Tarrens Mill vs. Southshore” and earn some achievements.
There was no real map objective back then, besides “Kill as many enemies as possible!” – that’s probably the case this time as well: a “team deathmatch” until one side runs out of tickets. In the official forum, Community Manager Lore has already confirmed that there will be few deviations from the event back then, wanting only to test the stability of the battle around Patch 7.2.

Cortyn says: Even if the developers surely mean well to evoke some nostalgic feelings, I am not convinced by the idea. Hillsbrad is, just like the old Alterac Valley, associated with so many memories that new content simply cannot reach, no matter how much effort is put in. Some legends are better left undisturbed – as only then is it a true legend.
Today, on January 27th, there will be spontaneous maintenance on the PTS for The Division.
That was quick: Just last night, Massive announced a major patch for the public test servers that is supposed to bring some changes. It was still unclear when it would be released.
Massive just announced: In one hour it will begin.
At 4 PM our time, the PTS will be taken down. The expected downtime is 3 hours, so you can continue playing around 7 PM.
This work is taking place solely on the PTS. The live game is not affected.
During this maintenance, the patch will be applied, which marks the beginning of the second phase of the PTS. You can read about the changes here.

Housing in ESO – Soon the Homestead Update for The Elder Scrolls Online will arrive, and you can already have fun with houses on the test server. A player has impressively proven how many possibilities housing really offers by building a new house from planks.
On February 6, the big Housing Update Homestead will be released for The Elder Scrolls Online. In this update, you can purchase one of over 20 houses and then furnish it with furniture and decorations. If you just want a place with furniture, you can simply buy a fully furnished house. However, creative players have quite different options, as impressively demonstrated by a player on the test server.

The housing in The Elder Scrolls Online is very similar to the system of the colorful MMORPG WildStar – according to many players the coolest housing system in MMOs so far (besides the ones in The Lord of the Rings Online, Rift, and Star Wars: Galaxies)!
Just like in Carbine’s online role-playing game, you can fill your house and the property (if available, not all houses in ESO have an outdoor area) to your heart’s content with freely placeable items! There are almost no limits to your imagination, and the individual pieces can really be placed anywhere and in any conceivable orientation.
Even floating objects are possible. Unfortunately, the extremely cool feature for size adjustment from WildStar is missing. So you cannot inflate a brick to gigantic proportions or build a mini-dollhouse from tiny planks. Furthermore, the number of placeable items is limited depending on the size of the house. However, those who maintain an ESO Plus subscription get double the number of placeable items.
But even with this limitation, much can be done in ESO housing. For instance, the Reddit user and ESO gamer Sylance9 bought a large number of wooden planks and stone blocks and constructed them in such a way that next to the prefabricated house on his property, he now also has a nice wooden hut.
Another player has built a gigantic tower from which he can make death-defying jumps into his garden pond. You can find a video of these housing shenanigans embedded above.
Trion’s Sandbox MMO ArcheAge receives multiple events and bug fixes with the January update. Particularly interesting are the big Animal Festival and the Reconstruction Event.
The big January update of ArcheAge brings a new event and lays the groundwork for further events in February. As every year, there is the cute “Animal Festival” (originally much cooler known as “Pawsome Festival”). Starting February 1, you can expect all sorts of cute creatures like cats and corgis.
Rebuild Auroria!
While you still have to wait for the Animal Festival, you can already speak to the masked Daru until January 31 and receive daily quests from him. In these, you will need to build something, and for your efforts, you will receive two valuable Warrior Medals and an achievement each. If you complete all tasks by the end of the event, you’ll also get a Guild XP potion that grants you 100 honor points, guild experience, and prestige.
In addition to these useful events, the January patch also fixes numerous bugs in ArcheAge and ensures better balancing. For example, sport fishing is now more lucrative, and fish yield up to 15 percent more profit when sold. Costume lovers can also look forward to more Synthium Shards per chest. Additionally, a bothersome quirk of ArcheAge has finally been fixed: the engine now renders significantly more objects simultaneously. NPCs that previously often did not appear are now a thing of the past.
It is Friday and we want to know what games you are playing this weekend.
The weekend is just around the corner, and for many gamers, that means time to play. Whether you relax with a calming simulation game or battle against other players in competitive games for victory, everyone must decide for themselves. However, it is always interesting to hear what other people are currently playing and what secret tips they have.
What is the editorial team playing?
Our editorial team is, of course, also engaged with various games over the weekend. Schuhmann, Tom and Jürgen have decided to play the Closed Beta of For Honor. If this game is also on your agenda, we have beginner tipsfor you that will make your start easier. An important tip in For Honor: Ladders are dangerous! In the video, you can see why you should not get too close to them in combat.

This weekend on my agenda: Finishing Firewatch! The adventure was recommended to me by Cortyn and immediately captivated me. I am curious to see how the story and characters develop and hope for a good conclusion to the game. If you are not familiar with Firewatch, you can get an impression of the game on the official Steam website.
Now it’s your turn: What are you playing this weekend? Do you have recommendations for the community?
The zombie MMO H1Z1 is set to continue with King of the Kill on PS4 and Xbox One.
Originally, the release of the action part of the zombie MMO H1Z1 “King of the Kill” was planned for September 2016. However, nothing has happened yet. H1Z1 is still only available on PC and regularly achieves success on Steam as a Twitch-friendly action spectacle.
In a “question and answer” letter, there was now information about the missed port. They have not given up on the port of H1Z1 to PS4 and Xbox One, but cannot provide a new date. The first and most important goal is to achieve a “quality release” when they decide to do so.

H1Z1 started in 2015 as a promising survival MMO in early access on PC. After a strong start, it is considered one of the early-access games that has remained stuck in development, even though the studio has long claimed to have taken a new direction.
Daybreak also wants to work more intensively on the MMO part of the game:
For Honor is not starting – many users are currently complaining about this. Ubisoft offers a solution.
Since yesterday, the closed beta of For Honor has been running and many curious fans want to jump into battle and extensively test the melee game. However, some experienced severe issues right from the start: Either the servers were partially down or the beta wouldn’t start at all.
If you cannot start the “For Honor” beta on PC, Ubisoft suggests this solution:
There is a conflict between the closed beta and the application Bitdefender. Please follow these steps:
Double-click the application Bitdefender in your taskbar.
The application will then open and show you the main window. Click on View Modules here.
Look for the small gear icon and click on it.
In the next window, please disable the setting Active Threat Control by clicking on the second switch from the top on the right side.
Now you should be able to start the beta.
This issue will be resolved by the launch of For Honor on February 14th.
Other issues with the “For Honor” beta
On PC, as well as on PS4 and Xbox One, lag, disconnections, crashes, and problems with NAT type frequently occur. Ubisoft offers detailed help for this. In most cases, a restart should help, especially if you have issues with matchmaking.
On PC, there is the issue that the beta sometimes cannot be exited. Here you will need to use the task manager. It may also happen that it kicks the host or the group leader. There are no workarounds for this.
If you are wondering what happened to your save data when you restart the beta, it may be because you haven’t completed an online match yet. Apparently, progress is not saved beforehand.
Additionally, there are further bugs and glitches, such as this one:

In The Division, the Legendary difficulty level is supposed to be the biggest PvE challenge. However, at the moment, it is still too easy.
A week ago, the “Legendary” difficulty was introduced. This is intended to provide hardcore agents with a “real challenge,” putting their optimized builds to the test and demanding tactics and teamwork from them.
At the launch of 1.6 and “Last Stand,” three story missions will feature Legendary. They thus represent the biggest PvE challenge in The Division:
Times Square Electrical Relay
WarrenGate Power Plant
Napalm Production Site
Currently, this difficulty can be tested on the PTS. Some agents have already succeeded in completing the missions successfully. You can see how the fun looks in practice in these videos. But beware, spoilers! If you want to explore the revised missions yourself, it’s better not to click on the videos.

The YouTuber LiKe BuTTeR describes the missions as follows: Imagine the LMB soldiers from 1.3 with the AI of Hunters. However, it is quite easy if you go in with a coordinated team.
Legendary is not for everyone
Massive announced that the Legendary difficulty will become harder with PTS Phase 2. Currently, the data shows that the missions are still too easy.
With Legendary, they aim to provide a real challenge for the best agents. Therefore, these missions will not be achievable for everyone. Many agents are expected to struggle with them. Those who manage to master Legendary will know that they have accomplished a great feat.
This is also the reason why you won’t receive exclusive gear through Legendary missions. Because for some agents, these items would be unattainable. Instead, there are only exclusive cosmetic items. And you will receive guaranteed exotic containers.
Have you played the Legendary difficulty on the PTS yet?
Today we want to know from you at Mein-MMO: Are you playing the closed beta of For Honor? Is the melee game fun?
Since yesterday at 3 PM the closed beta testing phase of For Honor has been running. Those who have not been hindered by server and network issues have already spent some hours in the fictional world of “For Honor”, which is shaped by the battle between knights, vikings, and samurai.
To participate, you need to secure a beta key. There are several ways to get one. You have the entire weekend to check out the melee game for yourself.
What the Closed Beta Offers
In the beta, you first choose your preferred faction to participate in the faction war. Then you can customize your emblem, which surprisingly allows for a lot of creative freedom: Choose the shape, colors, size of symbols, and embellishments. Each player can create a unique emblem. And then the fun begins.
You go through a tutorial where you are introduced to the “Art of Battle” – you’ll learn how to fight in For Honor. Once you’ve completed that, you can engage in online battles. Either Dominion (4v4), Duel (1v1), or a 2v2 melee. You have access to three of the four heroes from each faction.
The campaign and the complete hero and customization offerings are missing in the beta.
It’s Fun – But For How Long?
Yesterday we received initial feedback from our community about For Honor. Our reader Comp4ny writes that he is still undecided. It is definitely fun, but you have to really dive in and train. However, he is not yet fully convinced by the “Art of Battle”. This is also pointed out by Aelixiel: The game is really fun, but the beginning is difficult since you have to get used to the controls.
Our reader Christoph Bauer reports that For Honor is undoubtedly fun, but he probably doesn’t need more than the beta. He sees it as a nice pastime, but long-term motivation does not arise.
Ttime says: I was in the beta for almost two hours yesterday and feel similarly to Christoph. The fights are cool (as long as you’re spared from lag), and I find it motivating to get familiar with the “Art of Battle” and improve my skills. But how long can this keep you glued to the screen? Are sword fights thrilling in the long run? Or will you eventually long for your familiar firearm?
Currently, we only have access to the closed beta. We will see what content the full version will deliver and how extensive it will be on February 14th at the release. Nevertheless, I believe that the campaign will be completed quickly, and therefore the online mode must create enough incentives and goals for players to spend weeks and months in For Honor. Character development will be the decisive factor.
Ultimately, the faction war is designed for you to stand up for your faction over a long period and gather war resources for them.
I don’t want to make a final conclusion after my two hours in the beta. Especially since the game still has some annoying and amusing bugs and issues to deal with, like this one:

Patch 7.2 of World of Warcraft greatly upgrades the Artifact weapons. We reveal what happens to your weapon!
The next patch of World of Warcraft carries the version number 7.2 and the name “Tomb of Sargeras”. In addition to a lot of new content in the form of dungeons, raids, and demon invasions, there are also new abilities for all Artifact weapons. Many of the existing abilities can be further developed – where previously only three points could be invested, now often four can be unlocked.
The weapons are upgraded – new points come with the update.
As soon as patch 7.2 is live, the following will happen with the Artifact weapons:
A new, short quest line allows you to increase the power of the Artifact weapon. This quest is available when your weapon has reached at least level 35.
Upon completion of the quest line, the weapon, if it was in the range of level 36-54, will be reset to 35 – all Artifact power will be refunded. At the same time, the new properties of the Artifact weapon will be unlocked.
The “excess” Artifact power (that was refunded) can then be directly invested in the new properties.
Blizzard explicitly points out that it makes no sense to hoard items for acquiring Artifact power now. All Artifact power items collected before the weapon upgrade quest can no longer be used afterwards. So anyone who has already unlocked all 54 points of their Artifact weapon can invest the Artifact power without hesitation into their other weapons.
For all the crazy people who have already maxed out all Artifact weapons (this may be the case for Demon Hunters, as they only have two weapons): Since the last hotfix, it is possible to sell items for acquiring Artifact power to vendors for gold. Rare items give 5 gold, Rare items 25 gold, and Epic items even a whopping 100 gold coins.
Symmetra and Torbjörn from Overwatch should be buffed on PS4 and Xbox again – at least that is what the fans demand.
When Overwatch was released almost a year ago on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, it quickly became clear that different platforms needed different fine-tuning. Since aiming on PC is generally easier, some abilities were stronger in the console version than on the computer. Objects with an automatic aiming function – like Torbjörn’s and Symmetra’s turrets – were more powerful on PS4 and Xbox One than on PC, because they had hardly any delay in target acquisition.
This led to many teams simply packing 5-6 Torbjörns or Symmetras at the launch of Overwatch, making control points nearly unassailable. To prevent this, both characters were nerfed on PS4 and Xbox One – but now there is the hero limit: selecting the same character multiple times is only possible in special arcade modes.
The fans’ demand is clear: “Buff Torbjörn and Symmetra back to their former strength!”
In the official form, Jeff Kaplan commented on the topic:
“We are keeping a close eye on [Torbjörn and Symmetra]. Until recently, their performance [on consoles] was almost identical to that on PC. Recently, they have deviated a bit from that, and we will observe this for now and consider whether we need to adjust them.”
Additionally, the developers are currently working on enabling players to report disruptive players on consoles in the future. They hope to implement this feature “before summer,” but make no promises. Kaplan did not disclose why this feature is taking so long, as it has been implemented on the PC version for a long time.
Does Blizzard plan changes to the Paragon system of Diablo 3, or are they satisfied with the current system?
Players who have reached the maximum character level in Diablo III then collect experience points for the Paragon level. This system was introduced by Blizzard in patch 1.0.4 and was designed to give players a feeling of progression after reaching the highest level.
Some players find that the Paragon system has become outdated and could use changes . The Blizzard team is now commenting on the desired changes on the Diablo III blog.
Satisfied with the Paragon system?
After reaching character level 70 in Diablo III, the new experience points flow into the Paragon system. For the levels gained, you can distribute skill points in the categories Basic, Offensive, Defensive, and Adventure. This strengthens your characters by granting them increased attack speed and higher critical hit damage. Is the system that was released in 2012 now outdated?
While the Paragon system has undergone changes over the years, some players are still dissatisfied with the current options. Two years after the system was introduced, it was time for changes. Paragon 2.0 removed the level cap that was at level 100. Additionally, at the beginning, each individual character had its own Paragon level, which was eventually extended to cover the entire account by Paragon 2.0 (Normal and Hardcore separate).
On the Diablo III blog, the developers now address the current Paragon system. After a live Q&A on Facebook, there were some follow-up questions from the community, which reference the team’s responses. A widely discussed question was: Are the developers satisfied with the Paragon system and do they wish to make changes to it?
In response, the developers stated that they are basically satisfied with the Paragon system. It meets two main goals:
Paragon levels allow players to continue collecting experience after reaching level 70 and invest it in character improvements. One important point in Diablo III is that playtime serves to develop the character. If you don’t find a useful new item in a session, you at least gain experience points and can strengthen your character with them. “For this reason, there is (virtually no) cap on Paragon levels.”
Secondly, the Paragon experience is shared among all characters in the same game mode. This allows you to try out different builds, classes, and playstyles while continuing to strengthen your main character through Paragon levels. Additionally, this means that not all progress is lost when a Hardcore character dies.
The developers believe that the benefits of the Paragon system successfully cover the intended goals. Therefore, they currently do not plan to make further changes to it.
How satisfied are you as players with the current Paragon system? Is everything fine as it is, or do you have suggestions for improvement?
In a new video, the developers showcase gameplay of the upcoming co-op online RPG Dauntless, where you hunt and defeat the Behemoths in the game.
The world in the RPG Dauntless is terrorized by the so-called Behemoths. And you are hunters setting out to contain this threat. To do this, you meet in cities that serve as hubs, gather with other players, form teams, and then set off to search for and hunt the monsters. The teams always consist of four players. How exactly this works is demonstrated by the developers in a new video.
Long battles and important loot
Once you find your target, you must prepare for a tough battle. Because every hunt is meant to be a challenge. A fight against a Behemoth can last around 20 minutes. You will first need to discover the strengths and weaknesses of the monster so that you can develop a good tactic for the battle.
Once the creature is defeated, you will receive resources that you can use to craft better weapons and armor. The better your gear is, the more difficult hunting missions you can accept. The hunt for ever better gear is meant to be an important factor in the gameplay.
Monster Hunter meets Dark Souls with League of Legends payment model
The gameplay is reminiscent of a mix of Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. However, the graphics offer a comic-like style. The payment model of the game is said to be similar to that of the MOBA League of Legends. Essentially, the RPG is free to play, but in an item shop, you will mainly find fashionable items that allow your hero to visually distinguish themselves from other players.
A closed alpha of Dauntless is set to start soon, for which you can already register on the official website. The developers plan to continuously expand the RPG and provide players with new challenges and content. It is set to officially launch this year for PC.

In Destiny today, on January 27th, the Agent of the Nine arrives. Where is Xur and what items does Xur have for sale?
Currently, there is little for Guardians to do in Destiny. The January Iron Banner is over, as is the last event called “The Dawning”. Players are looking for fresh content.
Until then, we have the everyday life in the MMO shooter – which includes Xur! The Agent of the Nine arrives today at 10 AM. Let’s welcome him together.
All information about Xur in Destiny on January 27th, 28th, and 29th on PS4 and Xbox One
When does Xur arrive? When does Xur leave? – The times
Xur appears every Friday at 10 AM in the Tower or the Reef. There he offers his exotic items for sale and chats a little with the Guardians. Before you know it, he disappears again on Sunday at 10 AM.
Where is Xur? Location and position today
Xur has several locations where he likes to hang out over the weekend. This time he is said to be with the Vex. You can find him next to the collection for abandoned quests.

Overwatch has reached a new milestone. More than 25,000,000 players are engaged in the hero shooter.
The hero shooter from Blizzard, Overwatch, remains highly popular. In fact, the number of players has continued to grow over the past few months, as Blizzard has now announced via the official Overwatch Twitter channel that more than 25 million players are now roaming in the vision of our world’s future.

Now it would of course be interesting to have more detailed information about the number. Because which players are included in the 25,000,000 is not known. In any case, probably all versions – so players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
As especially in Korea accounts are repeatedly banned for cheating and Overwatch is free to play – players pay for their time in internet cafes (PC Bangs) – it is quite possible that every newly registered account of a cheater also falls into the statistics.
Raid guilds in WoW block each other in the race for first kills – individual action or planned?
The first weeks after the release of a new raid in World of Warcraft are always a tense time for professional players. After farming resources for several months, it is now time to spend as many hours as possible in the new raid instance “The Nighthold” on Mythic difficulty to secure the coveted World First kills first.
The competition among each other is fierce, as there is only room for one number 1. Although there has always been great secrecy among the guilds regarding how to approach bosses, they usually left each other alone – until now.
A member of the guild Method – according to current speculations of the player Jadelolz – took advantage of the raid break of the competing guild Serenity to engage in a discussion with the colleagues. They agreed on a trade, where flasks, runes, and other raid materials were to be exchanged – just an ordinary trade. However, Jadelol apparently had other ideas.
With the group invitation, he stormed into the Nighthold and grabbed the raid ID of Serenity.
In World of Warcraft, raids are assigned an ID for clear identification. Jadelol now had access to the ID of Serenity and could block the instance. When Serenity wanted to continue playing, they received the message that the ID was already in use – by a player loitering at the entrance and extremely pleased. This “success” was soon boasted about:
Sco from Method soon took a stance and asserted that – if it indeed was Jadelol – this happened without the support of Method. Until this incident was clarified, he had been kicked from the guild.

Several hours later, the instance was released again. Whether Jadelol ended his “camp” in the raid or was simply removed by Game Masters is still uncertain.
Cortyn says: Especially in such a critical phase, losing a few hours can make a big difference. It is unfortunate that the racing for “World First” kills, which is already losing significance, is overshadowed by such incidents. I hope that such intentional and obvious troublemakers receive at least a very, very long timeout from World of Warcraft.
In the MMO shooter Destiny the update 2.5.0.2 is on the horizon. This will adjust the meta.
Last week, the community manager DeeJ announced that Bungie is working on a balance patch. The next update that will be rolled out is set to adjust the current meta and bring more variety to the Crucible for Guardians.
In this week’s “This Week at Bungie,” DeeJ gets a bit more specific. However, details or patch notes are still awaited.
The balance patch carries the number 2.5.0.2 and is set to be released in mid-February. As Bungie typically rolls out larger updates on Tuesdays, we expect it to be on February 14 or 21.
This is what the hotfix 2.5.0.2 brings
According to senior designer Josh Hamrick, the sandbox and Crucible designers examined the entire competitive ecosystem and made adjustments. He is now proud to announce that their work on the next update is nearly complete. Many experiments took place, but changes have now been found that will bring fresh air to the meta.
Here is an overview of the changes:
There will be more alternatives and countermeasures to shotguns. Matador 64 will thus have competition.
The power of primary weapons will be adjusted with “surgical changes.” Their effectiveness will be tweaked. Currently, special weapons dominate.
Issues with each class will be addressed.
Exotics will also be adjusted.
Special ammo will also be revised.
It is understood that Guardians are thirsty for more facts and details, but concreteness will only come in the future. A livestream will be held before “mid-February” to present the changes with moving images.
By the way: Now the confirmation from Bungie that the maintenance work yesterday did not bring about changes that affect the player experience.
There are many MOBA games, but in 2D graphics and as a sidescroller? Publisher Nexon aims to change this with the recently announced title Hyper Universe.
The classic MOBA game like League of Legends or Heroes of the Storm is played from an isometric top-down view. This way, players always have the gameplay in their field of view and can execute optimal skill shots. However, there are other ways to do it, as shown by the shooter MOBA Battleborn.

Weird tentacle creatures, superhero girls, and mongooses on rhinos!
Hyper Universe from the Korean publisher Nexon takes it a step further and focuses on iconic 2D graphics and sidescroller gameplay – with the genre elements of a MOBA! Two teams compete against each other, and each of the playable heroes has a specific MOBA role, such as tank, supporter, carry, or damage dealer. The heroes, referred to as “Hypers”, are all outlandish and quirky. Want some examples?
You can play as a mongoose riding a rhino. Or an admiral tentacle monster. Or a superheroine who can crash through walls. So far, there is only a mix of trailers and gameplay sequences of Hyper Universe available to see. A release is planned for 2017. At the Pax South fair, Nexon will showcase more of the game.
