In FIFA 17, Mats Hummels wants to become faster in the future.
Mats Hummels from FC Bayern has an excellent player card in FUT 17. An overall rating of 87, a strong defense of 88, a strength of 86 – it’s impressive. However, there is one attribute that significantly weakens the center-back: The pace. His standard card has only 64 in this area.
Against forwards like Aubameyang, Ronaldo, or Bale, who all have a pace well over 90, Hummels has serious problems as he simply cannot keep up with them. Compared to other center-backs in the Bundesliga, he does not look good either: Boateng has 79, Naldo 72, Sokratis 78, and Höwedes has 65, which is one point more.
What does a world champion wish for? More pace!
Mats Hummels has a birthday today, on December 16th. Via Twitter, the world champion was asked what he wishes for. He replied: Over 70 pace in the next FIFA game, accompanied by an angry and a laughing smiley:

Mei’s Christmas skin in Overwatch is only received “so-so” by fans – Jeff Kaplan apologizes.
For several days now, the Christmas event “Winter Wonderland” has been active in Overwatch, and players can earn 12 different skins and plenty of other items – or buy them directly through loot boxes and credits. However, not all players are happy with the new skins. Many find Mei’s new skin to be a thorn the size of a Christmas tree in their eye. For many, it’s just a “simple recolor with a pom-pom hat” and also a unique animation as an ice block.
A player demanded in the forum that “someone from Blizzard needs to respond to the criticism and finally clarify what exactly makes a legendary skin.”
Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director, responded promptly:
“We don’t have specific rules about what makes a skin legendary or epic. We decide that more or less based on gut feeling and ask ourselves what is particularly cool. Coolness is, of course, very subjective, and based on the community’s reaction, we were clearly off the mark this time. Our reasoning for why the skin is legendary was based on the fact that we replaced the visual effect of Cryostasis (the ice block was transformed into a snowman).
We thought that was pretty special and created it specifically based on suggestions from the community that we read months ago when fans speculated that we would hold a winter event. Obviously, many people don’t agree with us, and that’s okay. It’s all good feedback, and we learn for future events.”
Cortyn says: Personally, I quite like the new Mei skin, and when comparing the various legendaries in the game, there are indeed some differences in quality and the effort of the “additional” features. I think this shouldn’t be viewed so critically, especially since all the new skins are free updates that can additionally be earned via credits. Plus, I really like the snowman ice block.
The virtual ARK Park is coming for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR. You can find first info and a teaser trailer for this VR dino spectacle here.
WildCard and Snail Games have teamed up to offer the ultimate dino VR experience. They are building a kind of virtual Jurassic Park, which will be accessible via PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift.
So far, the plans for the ARK Park look like this
In the ARK Park, you can embark on a discovery tour to take a close look at the long-extinct creatures. You will also be able to interact with the dinos and examine them more closely. You can experience your virtual prehistoric adventure on foot, in vehicles, or sometimes even on the back of a dino. The VR ARK Park will be accessible solo or together with friends and family in multiplayer.

Not just watching dinos, but also collecting their genes
There will be even more interaction in the game than just interacting directly with the dinos. The ARK Park is planned as a collection game. So-called “Gen cubes” will be scattered throughout the park, which you can collect and bring to a library. According to Snail Games, visitors will need a combination of puzzle logic, action skills, a sense of exploration, and careful resource management to gather the most valuable animals.
Once you have managed to gather the Gen cubes, you can upload them to the “Hub World” of the ARK Park. There, you can go to learn more about the dinos.
Off to the petting zoo with the dinos
But there’s more: once you have uploaded the data, you can load the fully tamed dinos into a virtual petting zoo! Here you can pet and feed the dinos, without the worry that they will eat you. Additionally, you should be able to customize the dinos in the petting zoo, such as changing their color.
And as if the petting zoo wasn’t enough, you can even go on tour with the “selfie stick” item to take pictures with the dinos. Because even in the prehistoric ARK Park, one keeps up with the times.
Leya says: As a child, I was a huge fan of dinos and would have loved the idea of the ARK Park. Luckily, as an adult woman, I still like dinos and find the idea of feeding them and riding them fantastic. However, I fear that Snail Games and WildCard might be taking on too much with this project and wonder if they can implement all these plans with high quality. The graphics still have their issues even in ARK: Survival Evolved …
But I don’t want to raise my critical voice too early and hope that they can realize the ARK Park according to their vision. Then I would immediately become the dino Sherlock, looking for the Gen cubes and collecting them for the petting zoo.
Mayor Noggenfogger in Hearthstone loves randomness. And that leads to some of the most absurd rounds ever.
In the history of Hearthstone, there have always been cards whose effects are so absurd that they exist solely to create particularly amusing rounds. There are cards like Nozdormu, who limits the turn time to 15 seconds, or the (recently nerfed) Yogg-Saron, who unleashes a feast of random spells onto the battlefield.
The latest expansion “The Streets of Gadgetzan” has introduced a similar card into the game, namely none other than Mayor Noggenfogger himself. In World of Warcraft, Noggenfogger became famous primarily through the sale of his strange elixir, which can transform players into a skeleton, grant them “Slow Fall”, or shrink them. In Hearthstone, he is even a bit crazier.
With a cost of 9 mana and stats of 5/4, he is not exactly the strongest card in the expansion, but his card text turns every match into a lottery: All targets are chosen randomly. And “all” really means “all” in this case. Whenever either player has to choose a target, it rotates among all available characters.
The card thus comes straight from RNG hell, but it provides more fun than frustration. Even the pros in the scene sometimes enjoy messing around with Noggenfogger, as he allows for some interesting plays – if the RNG god is favoring them. In the following video, you will see some of the most entertaining matches featuring Mayor Noggenfogger.

Cortyn says: Even though such cards often split the community, it is precisely these absurd effects that keep Hearthstone fresh and interesting. I do think that the “everything random” effect doesn’t quite match Noggenfogger lore-wise (after all, the goblin is quite calculating), but hey. If it allows me to watch some fun games with Kripparian and the other pros laughing their heads off – bring it on.
Today, the Agent of the Nine comes to Destiny.At which location is Xur and what items does he have on offer?
Things are happening in Destiny at the moment. Last Tuesday, the Winter Event “The Dawning” started, which brought among other things the Sparrow Racing League and Strike Scoring. In addition, the Update 2.5.0 brought some new features that you can find at the given link.
The Exotic dealer Xur has also been reworked:
Xur is now selling Exotic Shards again.
Xur no longer sells weapon ornaments. Since “Rise of Iron,” he had two random ornaments every week that he sold for 25 Silver Dust. You can now find the ornaments at the Silver Dust kiosk.
Xur now sells 10 Heavy Ammo Synths directly.
What else he has in inventory this weekend, let’s take a look at now. Let’s welcome Xur together.
All about Xur in Destiny on December 16, 17, and 18 on PS4 and Xbox One
When does Xur come? When does Xur leave? – The times
Xur arrives every Friday at 10 AM. He offers his items in exchange for Strange Coins and hopes to sell more than just the Three of Coins. On Sunday, December 18th, he will leave at 10 AM.
Where is Xur? Location and position today
Xur has specific locations where he stays over the weekend. This time he is in the Vanguard Hall in the Tower.

The next raid Nighthold in WoW has a release date. We will tell you when it is time for Elisande.
Most raiders in World of Warcraft: Legion are still struggling with the heroic or even mythical Trial of Valor, but Blizzard is soon pushing out new content. Actually, the raid “Nighthold” has already been included in the game since day 1 of the expansion, but it has not been accessible so far.
Community Manager Ornyx announced in the official forum that the Nighthold will be opened on January 17, 2017. Due to different time zones, the release in Europe is shifted to January 18, 2017 – right after the maintenance on Wednesday.
For the LFR tool, the new raid will, as usual, be unlocked later and gradually, to give the “real” raiders a bit of lead time in WoW Legion. The mythical difficulty will also be released slightly delayed, and more details about that will be provided in the coming weeks.
The new Suramar quest line, which leads up to the opening of the Nighthold, will already conclude next week. The story surrounding the siege of the elven city and the final assault of all elven races on the Nighthold will reach its climax – but there is still some waiting before heading into the raid.
WoW: Legion – Trial of Valor will be nerfed
Apart from the announcement of the Nighthold, Ornyx also addressed the current raid “Trial of Valor” – this is hardly manageable by many groups in heroic and mythical difficulty. Especially with small groups of 10-12 people, there are often problems, as some mechanics require more players than are available. In the coming week, there will be some significant changes to the raid so that players can complete the Trial of Valor before the release of the Nighthold.
But it also negatively impacts them. In China, games must be “approved” by the government.
Publishers like Blizzard have, thanks to Chinese partners, received this approval for their games. Diablo 3 and WoW are licensed, although adjustments had to be made. In China, it is “not allowed” to show bones directly – skeleton models must therefore be covered with “flesh.”
Western games with “offensive content” like GTA Online do not have this approval and probably never will.
A WoW can afford the approval – other games cannot.
The process of getting a game “approved” is complex and expensive, as Tech in Asia explains. Therefore, Chinese indie developers avoid it, even though they wouldn’t have issues content-wise obtaining such licenses for their projects – it’s too costly for them. For other Chinese indie games with “offensive content,” whatever that means to the Chinese government, it is not possible to obtain this approval anyway.
Video game censorship in China is tightening
However, the process used to be circumvented for a long time by indie developers who did not get their games approved and still showcased, promoted, and sold them through streams and Steam. Now the government has enacted a censorship law: Only approved games may be streamed. This was announced on Monday by the Chinese Ministry of Culture.
China has its own streaming network with platforms like Douyu or Panda.tv, with viewers in the tens of millions. This will change the gaming industry in China. It is likely to become significantly more difficult for Western indie games to find success in China now.
In this article, we focus on how Blizzard had to change Diablo 3 to obtain the license in China.
In Destiny, Bungie wraps up the year 2016 and lists the issues currently being investigated.
In this week’s letter to the community, the community manager DeeJ closes out the year 2016. This will be the last letter for this year, and they will be back in 2017. A date for the next Iron Banner will also be announced. In the meantime, playtests are happening behind the scenes to see what the teams have been working on. Destiny is always being worked on.
With The Dawning, Bungie concludes the year 2016. You can read about the major innovations this winter event brought here. Additionally, they are now making the holiday music available for download, in case you want to listen to Destiny sounds for Christmas. The songs are called The Dawning and Winter Voyage.
The Nexus and Felwinter’s Memory do not fit together
Since update 2.5.0, a few issues have emerged that Bungie has since confirmed:
The Iron Lords artifact “Felwinter’s Memory” prevents players from activating their Super with the Aegis artifact in the revamped strike “The Nexus” on Venus.
Patrol activities, where players need to collect items from defeated enemies, do not function reliably in the Plaguelands. Players can abandon these patrols if enemies do not drop the expected items.
“Dynamic” armor from the “SRL 2015” record book is not unlocked in the Holiday collection, even if players have already unlocked it.
Info on the SRL:
The legendary class items from The Dawning do not display intellect, discipline, or strength in the tooltip or details screen. However, the values are counted as expected.
If the timer runs out during an SRL race but no one has crossed the finish line, placements in the post-game statistics may not be displayed correctly.
Info on Strike Scoring:
The medals “Stranding” and “Protective Light” do not contribute to the progress of the Vanguard Elite bounty “Arsenal of Light.”
The “Explosive Weapons Streak” medal does not count towards the kill streak record.
“Bounty Hunter” in the “Competitive Spirit” record book can only be completed by picking up Daily bounties for Vanguard Elite from the bounty overseer in the Tower. Alternating Daily and Weekly Vanguard bounties are not counted.
In Destiny, a new quest called “Deadly Speed” is available. How does it work and what are the rewards?
“The Dawning” is here – with some new quests. There are quests and bounties for the Sparrow race, for strike scoring, and for the exotic machine guns Abbadon and Nova Mortis. The Icebreaker in Year 3 is not tied to any quest line, it drops randomly when you hand in the Sunrise bounty from Zavala.
In addition, Amanda Holliday has a quest for you that does not fit into either the SRL or the strike scoring: Deadly Speed. What is it about and what is the prize?
How Deadly Speed Works
You can obtain the quest from Amanda Holliday by participating in a few Sparrow races and ranking up. Holliday then explains that she promised Zavala the SRL would not distract anyone from their Guardian duties. Therefore, you must complete the following tasks for her.
This quest consists of only a few steps:
Defeat Fallen and Devil Splicers in the Plaguelands. The fastest way to do this is in the Archon Forge. After two rounds, this should be completed.
Then defeat champions in the Prison of Elders challenge. Grab an Elder Seal from Variks and dive into the Prison. If you have a high light level, this should go well solo.
Finally, complete missions within the time limit. These are “Embrace of Fear” and “Returning Signal.” This should also not be a problem solo if you have an advanced light level.

Once the tasks are completed, return to Amanda Holliday in the Tower Hangar. She has the Sparrow S-41 Poisoned Apple for you. Destabilizers, sideways thrust, and boost are the perks. Here’s what the Sparrow looks like:
The inhabitants of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls Online are currently celebrating, both Christmas and New Year’s together! The “New Year Festival” offers a special quest and great rewards for every race in ESO.
Every year, MMOs have Christmas events that more or less originallly bring the spirit of the holiday of love and consumption into the respective online world. In The Elder Scrolls Online, Christmas is called “New Year Festival” and also includes New Year’s Eve. But instead of fireworks and champagne, there are cultural peculiarities in Tamriel.
Christmas for the Cats
Before you can dive into the multicultural adventures of the New Year Festival, you first need to travel to Windhelm and visit Breda. She will then assign you the corresponding quests that will lead you to all races of Tamriel. Each one celebrates in its own way and thus offers its own quest. These are:
Castle Bard Challenge (Bretons)
Fish Favor Feast (Argonians)
Lava Foot Stomper (Dunmer)
Mud Ball Games (Bosmer)
Signal Fire Sprint (Redguards)
Snow Bear Jump (Nords)
Stone Tooth Dash (Orcs)
Trial of the Five Claws Cunning (Khajiit)
War Orphan Journey (Altmer)
You can complete each quest of each race, even if you are not a Khajiit or Dunmer. As a reward, you receive crafting materials, cooking ingredients, recipes, and even costumes. For example, a sexy Nord bath towel or a stylish fur hat. Those who complete all quests will receive a special color and an achievement. Those who complete all achievements during the event can then proudly bear the title “The Generous One”. Additionally, the real-money shop offers special items during the time of the New Year Festival. The event runs from December 15 to January 4.
She wields a type of “scimitar” as a weapon, a curved longsword, a saber, and shows off quite a bit of leg while using it with one hand or two-handed. The attacks are supported by a kind of dark magic, and overall she appears graceful, agile, and deadly.

The official English name will likely be “Dark Knight”. In South Korea, the class is an early Christmas gift to the players. Here in the West, it will probably take a while before we can try her out.
Here in Europe, the last major shake-up was the transition to megaservers. They also opened a new server for beginners and returners:
In The Division, the PS4 version will receive Pro support. Additionally, there is a known “Dark Zone” change that will come with update 1.6.
Just now, the State of The Game on December 15th aired. Community Developer Hamish Bode had two developers from Red Storm on the couch, who are currently working on the future of PvP and the Dark Zone in The Division. It has been known since last week that update 1.6 will introduce changes to PvP.
Before they talked about PvP, Bode shared: The wait for “PS4 Pro” support is coming to an end. Next week on Tuesday, December 20th, the Survival DLC will be released on PS4 along with Pro support. This announcement comes as a surprise since the developers have hardly spoken about the PS4 Pro until now. What improvements the Pro support specifically brings is unknown. By the way, the CE errors will also be fixed next week on Tuesday.
The Dark Zone will receive leaderboards
The two developers from Red Storm then provided some insights into their work on the Dark Zone:
The main goal is to bring fun back to the Dark Zone. Just as update 1.4 improved PvE, 1.6 is set to improve the Dark Zone.
Red Storm is active on Reddit and reads user wishes and suggestions. They understand the agents and intend to make PvP great with 1.6.
A new feature will be the Dark Zone leaderboards. It will be possible to track almost everything agents do in the Dark Zone and create rankings. These lists will be dynamically displayed in-game at the DZ roadblocks. There will be weekly and monthly leaderboards.
You will also see on these lists whether you have made it into “Tiers” where rewards are offered. The better you are, the more rewards you will receive. These will be new sealed containers. The specific rewards have not yet been revealed.
The leaderboards will definitely not be the only thing that 1.6 will bring. More features will be discussed in the future.
The developers want to reduce the gap between average agents and elite agents in the Dark Zone. Players should not feel like they have no chance against other agents.

Those who want to guarantee access to the Beta of Revelation Online need a Founder Pack. These are now even more attractive, as the packages receive a free upgrade. This means there are now nicer wings and a more magnificent mount!
These items were already quite nice to look at, but now the aforementioned packages are receiving an upgrade. This will change the mount from a horse to the armored Imperial Ram with golden horns.
For those who prefer to travel in the air, the resources included in the Founder Pack can also be used to craft special “Divine Angel Wings”. These new wings burn like fire and show all other players that you were here from the very beginning. The wings that were previously included and the old horse mount are instead available as loot in the game.
The upgrade of the Founder Packs and Deluxe Packs is free and applies to both already purchased packs and packs that you will still acquire. Unfortunately, the low-cost “Explorer Pack” is not affected, as it has never included a mount or wings. However, you will have to wait until the Open Beta. Only then will you be able to use the goodies from the Founder Packs. The Open Beta of Revelation Online is expected to start in early 2017. Unfortunately, a specific date has not yet been set.
In The Secret World, Christmas is celebrated in its own unique way.
In The Secret World, they like to be a bit extravagant. So at the end of the year, it’s not Santa Claus who is the focus, but his helper Krampus, a terrifying figure.
The “capital” of the Secret World, Agartha, transforms into a winter wonderland during this season, and the usually grim agents can hurl snowballs at each other.
In the MMO shooter Destiny, we look at the treasures of the Dawning – mystery packages that can be purchased for real money.
Bungie used the previous “Rise of Iron” events not only to deliver new and free game content to the Guardians but also to introduce new opportunities for microtransactions into the game. While the Festival of the Lost was stigmatized as “Festival of Microtransactions” with little content, “The Dawning” now offers more content for the Guardians.
During the current winter event, the “Treasures of the Dawning” were introduced. These include exciting items but are only obtainable in bulk through the Eververse. Tess Everis is once again asking you to pay. However, there are also two ways to get free treasures.
How to Get Treasures of the Dawning
You can earn the treasures by:
Increasing your reputation with Amanda Holliday in the SRL event to Rank 5. As a reward, there is one treasure per character. So you can earn a maximum of 3 treasures per account.
You will also receive one free treasure of the Dawning per week by completing one heroic strike. The event lasts three weeks. However, you can also earn treasures in the weeks after.
Update: There is also a treasure of the Dawning in Amanda’s gift!
If you want more treasures, you must acquire them in the Eververse for Silver, the real money currency in Destiny. One treasure costs 200 Silver, three treasures cost 500 Silver, and 5 treasures cost 800 Silver. By the way, 500 Silver costs 5 euros.
The Content of the Treasures of the Dawning
The content of the treasures of the Dawning is random. So if you want a specific item and invest a few euros, there is no guarantee that you will get that specific item. A criticism that is frequently read in the community.
A treasure contains four to five objects. There is always one “guaranteed” item and a few “possible” items included.
The guaranteed item is either a Wailing/Scorned Light/Armored piece, a Sparrow, or a new ornament. The new ornaments can only be obtained through these treasures, they are not available in the “Silver Dust Shop” around the corner. Only the “old” weapon ornaments are available there.
If you want to complete this “The Dawning” armor set, there is likely no way around using real money. And you must also rely on luck. If you manage to get it together, you will receive the Sparrow EV-53 Glimmergold and the shader Sunscorch.
In the following video, you will see a “treasure opening” and some of the items:

A study from the “University of Minnesota” states that VR headsets are unintentionally sexist towards female users.
A recent study from the “University of Minnesota” found that VR headsets are sexist towards women. But not in the way most would think. This is not a political discussion, but rather a biological one.
Perhaps some of you have noticed that women and men have different body structures – seriously! This leads to the fact that women apparently suffer from motion sickness when traveling or sailing more often than men. The scientists tested both gender groups to see how quickly they felt nauseous when playing different VR games.
This graphic shows the results of the study. The dark gray bar indicates when the test subjects felt comfortable, and the lighter one indicates when they felt nauseous. Click to enlarge the graphic.
Women mainly feel sick in First-Person VR
To examine how much the individual test subjects were affected by the Oculus Rift, the scientists focused primarily on swaying. Swaying refers to how people move back and forth while standing. If someone feels dizzy, they sway more. These sways were measured before and after the participants played the games. The following VR games were tested:
Balancer Rift: In this game, participants had to run through a maze using head movements. In the graphic (Fig 1), it can be seen that women indeed felt sick more often than men. However, this difference was so slight that it cannot be considered statistically significant.
Affected: This POV game is a first-person thriller where you move through the halls of a cursed villa with a controller but can look around freely with the headset. As shown in the graphic (Fig 3), this game challenged all test subjects. This time, however, there was a significant difference between men and women! To be precise, the ratio of women who felt sick compared to men was 2.33:1
Women are generally more susceptible to symptoms of motion sickness
It has long been scientifically confirmed that women feel sick from certain movements faster than men. It was therefore expected that they might have more issues with this phenomenon in VR than men. More research should follow to identify what exactly triggers this effect in women and whether it can at least be mitigated.
The game Affected has already shown that the female brain seems to struggle with processing the first-person perspective well. An important point here is that there was no simulated body in this game. There were no hands, no feet when looking down, and no nose sitting between the eyes. The absence of a body could also have played a role in why women felt sick during the first-person game. The study did not include a visual perception test.
Despite still missing data, it can be said that this study is important for the future of VR. Developers should address this issue and continue researching the problem of VR motion sickness. It is certainly advisable to provide a wide range of games that consider perspective perception. This way, it ensures that there is something for everyone in this new medium, without making them feel sick.
Leya says: I was surprised by the results of this study, as I personally have never experienced problems with VR and feeling sick. However, I must say that I generally do not get sick easily, which seems to be typical for women. According to this study, problems arise more often with first-person VR. That makes VR particularly exciting. Perhaps such studies can help find a solution that allows both genders to fully enjoy VR. Because, as can be seen in the graph, there are also many men who get dizzy from VR.
Do you know many or are you women who feel sick from VR? Those who, like me, do not feel sick from VR may be interested in this Playstation VR game list.

Crowfall is an MMORPG that differs from other representatives of the genre. This is already noticeable in that there is no large, persistent world.
The developers of Crowfall have now answered some of the most pressing fan questions in a “Question and Answer” video.
The concept of the world in Crowfall is a bit different. While there will be a larger, persistent world in the upcoming tests, the Eternal Kingdoms are not the place where the core gameplay takes place. The Eternal Kingdoms are a safe haven where players can engage in crafting without being constantly attacked. PvP will then take place in the Dying Worlds. You go there to collect resources. The Dying Worlds will also feature open PvP.
Griefers and gankers led to the introduction of safe areas
The developers consciously chose this approach. They want players not to lose their motivation when they are constantly ambushed while crafting. They have experienced that players quickly give up and leave the game when there are no safe areas. Therefore, with the upcoming test, the Eternal Kingdoms will be introduced as these safe areas. Moreover, previous tests showed that there were many players who simply attacked newcomers, causing them to lose interest.
Power gamers have it hard
Regarding skills, Todd Coleman, lead designer of the game, explains that players should not occupy themselves with any numbers. They should just have fun and play the game. However, they are aware that there are power gamers who want to reach the maximum as quickly as possible. In Crowfall, it will always become harder to increase a skill, depending on how high its value already is. The higher it is, the longer it takes to improve.
For more details on skills and the world of the MMORPG Crowfall, you can refer to the developer video.

For Honor has information about the date and registration for the Closed Beta. Ubisoft also released several new trailers.
Ubisoft’s For Honor will be released on 02/14/17 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC – an online melee combat game that fans have high expectations for. You can find out for yourself next month if it meets those expectations, as a Closed Beta will start then.
The Beta will take place in January 2017. A specific time frame has not yet been set, but you can already register for it on the Ubisoft site.
Faction War Starts with the Beta
Simultaneously with the Beta, “War of the Factions” will become active, meaning the “Faction War”. Here, the choice of your faction plays a crucial role, as all your multiplayer successes will be tracked across platforms, attributed to the chosen faction, and recorded on a global leaderboard. The factions are the Knights, the Vikings, and the Samurai.
All Beta participants will receive a special in-game reward. Fighters of the winning faction will receive an additional prize, which will be announced at a later date.
The Faction War is intended to be a ten-week multiplayer challenge where you can contribute to the glory of your faction. After this season, the prizes will be distributed, and the Faction War will begin again after a break.
Story Trailer and New Heroes
Moreover, Ubisoft released new trailers to get you ready for the Beta. Here is the new Story Trailer:
