Black Desert Online gives the nimble ranger a stylish Awakening weapon: the Elf sword. This turns the archer into an agile melee fighter. Additionally, there is another update about the Margoria Sea.
Black Desert Online is gradually releasing the Awakening weapons. This week, the delicate ranger elf is up. She receives a gift from the gods, the legendary “Elf sword.” It is a graceful little sword that, while less impressive than the two-handed sword of the warrior, the gun fist of the berserker or even the extra cool scythe of the black magician, allows for lightning-fast attacks.

Elven Multitalent
With this, the ranger can now poke at the enemy from a distance, and when they come closer, engage with the sword. If things get dicey, the elf simply jumps back and keeps shooting with the bow.
In addition to the ranger’s new weapon, further content for the upcoming Margoria update was introduced. These showcase the beautiful underwater world full of corals, fish, and shipwrecks. The embedded video below provides a good first impression of the upcoming content.

Kickstarter, or crowdfunding in general, offers a good way to raise money for financing a computer game without relying on publishers.
However, the system also comes with pitfalls. Because what ultimately results and whether anything at all comes out is uncertain. When a development studio decides to fund the game through a crowdfunding campaign, they are walking on thin ice. They have an idea and present it. The goal is to excite players so much that they want to play the announced game and therefore contribute financially to the funding.
How far can a game stray from the announcement?
Now, it is the case that games can change during development. Especially when it is an open development process where the players and supporters are involved in the game’s design from the beginning. This can lead to the game straying further and further from the original announcement. As a developer, one may believe this is the right decision. After all, the players themselves are pushing the product in this direction. However, they overlook that many supporters contributed money for the originally announced concept and might now be upset.
How far can a game therefore deviate from what was announced during the crowdfunding campaign? Frontier Developments faced a significant backlash when they announced the cancellation of the offline mode for Elite: Dangerous. Many had contributed to the game’s funding because of this mode and were heavily disappointed. However, Elite: Dangerous continues to be successful. This change did not strike the game a severe blow.
From Selective Multiplayer Game with Single Player Approach to an MMORPG
Another game currently caught in this dilemma is Shroud of the Avatar. Originally announced during the Kickstarter campaign as “basically a single-player game that can also be played online,” it is now an MMORPG that can be played offline. Many game mechanics from single-player RPGs and MMORPGs are very different. Playing World of Warcraft offline would not automatically make it a good single-player game. Many from the SotA community are pushing the game into the MMO niche and want it to become Ultima Online 2.
In this context, the actual approach of the game, the Selective Multiplayer, is now seen as a “threat.” Because an MMORPG thrives on many players interacting with each other. However, many play in single-player or friends mode. In these modes, they are undisturbed and do not have to share resources with others. Voices are now even calling for the removal of single-player and friends mode from the game. However, this would completely eliminate the main feature of the game, the Selective Multiplayer approach, which many supporters likely contributed funding to during the Kickstarter campaign.
What do you think? Should a game funded through crowdfunding be allowed to stray from the original announcement, the original vision? And if so, how far could it deviate? Would it be acceptable for Shroud of the Avatar to become an MMORPG if the developers removed the Selective Multiplayer approach?

In the Early Access of Battlefield 1, a tiny pistol named Kolibri is making a splash. See here how to shoot with this weapon.
Members of EA Access and Origin Access can already play a Play-First Trial of Battlefield 1. In addition to the aforementioned Early Access content of Battlefield 1, fans have already found funny Easter eggs in the game. This includes the famous 2mm “Kolibri” pistol. This tiny weapon is currently bringing joy to many Battlefield 1 fans, as visually this weapon is “something completely different”.
A pistol for ants?
How this weapon works in battle is demonstrated by Reddit user SmirG3l with a GIF. Reactions in the comments range from mockery to hope that the Kolibri makes it into the “real” game.

Also interesting is the reloading animation. It looks like you need a lot of finesse to reload new ammunition without breaking the weapon. The Kolibri was patented in 1910 and officially available four years later. Unfortunately, the weapons did not sell particularly well because it was difficult to handle the small size of the weapon and ammunition. Moreover, the weapon is inaccurate with its 2.7mm caliber and has a projectile energy of only 4 Joules. The GIF clearly shows that this firepower is not strong. By comparison: With its firepower, the Kolibri can penetrate a pine wood board that cannot be thicker than 3.75cm. The Kolibri is still an absolute eye-catcher in Battlefield 1 and will certainly leave an impression when you get a kill with it.
Unlocking the Kolibri weapon in Battlefield 1
For those who also believe that size matters: In the following video, our colleagues from GameStar explain how you can unlock and use the Kolibri in Battlefield 1.

WildStar is alive! Therefore, Chief Chad “Pappy” Moore has presented a roadmap for the coming months in an open letter. The highlight is clearly the cross-faction group search, but a new raid wing and PvP leaderboards are also part of the repertoire.
WildStar is far from dead and developer Carbine is already diligently working on the latest content. This has been presented by Chief Developer Chad “Pappy” Moore in the form of a roadmap on the official website of NCSoft’s colorful online role-playing game.
Factions, Schmactions!
Since WildStar does not exactly boast gigantic player numbers, there will soon be a cross-faction group search. This way, Exiles and Dominion members can team up for raids and dungeons despite differing value systems. Otherwise, the two groups will remain separate.
The new group configurations are also badly needed, as the recently introduced new raid “Red Moon Marauders” is about to enter its second round and will get three new bosses. Ideal, therefore, to forge soft bonds with the other faction and go on a space pirate hunt together. In addition to these PvE contents, there will also soon be a PvP leaderboard.

In Destiny, you can already reach light levels beyond 385. This trick makes it particularly effective.
Since the launch of “Rise of Iron”, the maximum light level is 385 – actually. Because shortly after the release, the first Guardians reported that they could get items over 385. Even 388 and 389 are possible. But how can one reach such spheres of light?
The probably most recommendable method is: Wait. Because on October 18, 2016, the Heroic Mode of “Wrath of the Machine” starts. From then on, it’s also intended by Bungie that you’ll go over light level 385. With the launch of the new raid on heroic difficulty, the maximum rises to a clean 400.
However, if you want to exceed 385 now – also to be well prepared for the raid – you can take the following into account.
383 is the magic number
If your Guardian is already at 384, 385, or even 386, almost only items with 384 and 385 drop. However, if you reduce your character’s light level to 383 and open a reward package, you have the chance for items with light levels of 386 and 387!
On reddit, there are several user reports confirming this observation. Once your Guardian exceeds the light level of 385, only items with a maximum of 385 light come from reward packages and as raid drops.
But how does one obtain items with light levels 388 and 389? According to some Guardians, you need to be at light levels 386 or 387 and then play the Nightfall strike and the Trials of Osiris.

Battlerite, the enormously successful arena brawler by Stunlock Studios on Steam, is getting a new hero in October. This is a bear-like hunter named Jumong, who also looks like he could bite bears. Jumong resembles the hero Seeker from Bloodline Champions and seems to become a sniper hero.
Anyone who – like the author here – diligently plays the brilliant arena brawler Battlerite has surely noticed that one of the loading screens shows a grim and scarred archer. At some point, I thought to myself: “Hey, I need to try him out!”. But no luck, the hunter was nowhere to be found among the 15 heroes in Battlerite.
Hunter from the Shadows
Now the secret has been revealed, as the ranger has a name: “Jumong, The Beast Hunter”. In a small teaser, we can see him stalking through the shadows, and he seems to have some sort of invisibility dodge ability, and he can lay down nasty bear traps that root the opponent. Furthermore, he shoots with his bow at long range, which apparently requires a channeling time.
Jumong could thus come across as a pure ranged fighter, whose bow shots are as time-consuming as the rifle shot of gunfighter Jade. We will learn more about his skills of course only when Jumong steps out of the shadows and enters the game regularly. This will probably happen still this month in October. In addition, another unknown hero is supposed to be released during this time.
Jürgen says: Battlerite is currently one of my absolute favorite games and therefore I’m really looking forward to the new hero. However, I prefer fast and dynamic characters like Freya, Jade, or Taya. So if Jumong turns out to be more of a static ranged fighter, I might not warm up to him as much. But it doesn’t matter, there’s supposed to be another hero coming who will surely be a melee fighter or supporter.

The Daybreak Game Company is currently developing a new online game, the name of which might already be known.
The company secured the domain name Mythwarden. What it is about is currently still the big question. Is it the title of a new game? Is it perhaps a subsidiary studio of Daybreak? The company is currently tight-lipped about it. However, it is known that they are already working on at least one new game.
Is an online shooter for multiple platforms coming?
On the Daybreak Games website, the company is looking for new employees for a yet-to-be-announced project. Specifically, they are seeking a Lead Designer, a Product Manager, a Senior Designer, and a Senior Environment Artist. Since the new employees are expected to have experience with first-person shooters, one can assume that the game is an action game. Additionally, it seems that it is to be released on multiple platforms, as they are explicitly looking for employees for a multi-platform title.
Is Mythwarden a kind of Overwatch?
It hasn’t been long since Daybreak halted the work on the MMORPG Everquest Next. It is rather unlikely that they are now working on the same complex type of game. An online shooter in the style of Blizzard’s Overwatch would make sense. The parallels are unmistakable. Blizzard canceled the development of the MMORPG Titan to work on the online shooter Overwatch. This could be analogous to what Daybreak is doing. Perhaps they halted work on the MMORPG Everquest Next to work on the online shooter Mythwarden?
Such hero shooters are currently very much in demand and apparently they are somewhat easier to develop than an MMORPG. These games are also successful, as can be seen with Overwatch. However, we will have to wait until Daybreak officially announces what they are working on. But speculating is also fun…

The new update for GTA 5 Online gives you the opportunity to join and create motorcycle clubs. This way, you can earn a lot of money!
Since the last major update in GTA 5 Online, there are noticeably more motorcyclists in the game. The reason for this is the new motorcycle clubs that have been integrated into the game with the Bikers DLC. In these clubs, you can team up with other players and earn quite a bit of money. However, it may happen that you have to get your hands a little dirty. Nonetheless, it pays off accordingly.
Bikers – Buy Motorcycle Club (MC)
If you want to try out the content of the DLC, it includes not only the cool new vehicles but also motorcycle clubs. First, you must decide what role you want to take on in a club. If you want to own your own club, you will first purchase a suitable club house through the Maze Bank website in the game. Currently, you will find many buildings marked as “foreclosure”. A club house in the city is more expensive than a club house that is located in a secluded area. However, the distances from a club house in the city are usually shorter, saving you time.
As with the buildings for the CEO in GTA 5 Online, you also have the option to change the equipment of the club houses. Additionally, the houses serve as a garage for your own motorcycles and those of your club members. There is space for 10 of your own and 7 motorcycles from club members. After purchasing a club house, you can easily register as the leader of your MC from the menu, similar to the CEO.
How to Become a Prospect in a Motorcycle Club
To prove yourself in an MC, you usually start your career as a Prospect. To be discovered by club presidents, you can enable the search for motorcycle clubs in the menu. Presidents of motorcycle clubs then have the option to invite you to their club. A club can have up to 7 prospects. While you belong to a club, you earn session points and lifetime points (for the current club). The more points you collect, the higher your rewards will be with the respective MC.
There are different roles of prospect members that bring different abilities and bonuses.
Enforcer:
Have the ability to call a “Hit Squad”.
Can drop vests for other bikers.
Can start the challenge “Rippin’ it up”.
Sergeant at Arms
Can drop 3 Molotov cocktails.
Can drop ammunition.
The challenge “On the Run” can be started.
Road Captain
Order vehicles like Slam Van, Moonbeam, BF Injection, Dubsta, or Buzzard.
Can initiate Formation Riding (the MC president must have set a formation beforehand).
The challenge “Race to Point” can be started.
Vice President
Distribute “Bullshark Testosterone” to other members.
Select any players from a target.
Can start the challenge “Hit and Ride”.
What you need to do in the challenges will now be presented.
Challenges and Activities for Prospects and Presidents
With completely new activities and challenges, it will not be boring within a motorcycle club. To earn money quickly, there are several possibilities in the new DLC. There are club house tasks of the president, small missions as club challenges, challenges for prospects, and club work in free mode.
The club house tasks of the president are started in your meeting room (in the club house). There are a total of 11 missions, of which 3 can be active at the same time. Your goals include, for example, defending a convoy, taking out a target, or protecting a civilian. In order to get RP and money for the respective mission, you must be a member or president of the motorcycle club that has started this mission. If you belong to another MC or play alone, you can earn money and RP if you can prevent the completion of the mission (of the other MC).
Small missions as club challenges are tasks where you compete against members of your motorcycle club. These tasks include Search and Destroy. You need to reach a target location and find and kill a specific target there. In Wheelie Rider , your wheelie must last longer than your opponents’. Criminal Mischief prompts you to use your melee attacks while riding. During this, you must cause the most damage to other cars.
The challenges for prospects can only be started if you have taken on a specific role as a prospect.
Rippin’ it Up – This challenge is started by the enforcer. In this, you must find out who can cause the most damage while on a motorcycle.
On The Run – As Sergeant at Arms, you can start this challenge when all MC members are close together. All prospects then receive a 5-star wanted level. The last person standing wins!
Race to Point – The road captain starts this challenge. It is a race to any destination.
Hit and Ride – Vice presidents can start this challenge, where you must achieve the most kills on pedestrians within a time limit.
Club work in free mode can only be started by the president of an MC. All players within a game session can participate in these activities. Deathmatch (Invite only) is a simple deathmatch against other players of an MC. Joust (Invite only) is a deathmatch on motorcycles that is played in a specific area. In Stand Your Ground , you must reach a target area and defend against other players. Another game mode is called Caged in. Here, you are in an area whose size constantly shrinks. While you try to stay in this area, you attack other players from the motorcycle with your melee attacks.
GTA 5 Bikers DLC – Riding in Formation
A real motorcycle club naturally also includes riding in formation. This not only brings more fun and impresses other players, but it also gives you various bonuses. When you ride in formation, you regenerate health and armor. Additionally, motorcycles (while riding) get repaired. Flat tires, for example, are repaired without you having to stop.
The president of the MC sets the desired formation.
Both the president and the road captain can determine when to ride in formation.
You can take your positions within the formation yourself.
As soon as all members are in the designated shadows, the formation is activated.
As the president of an MC, you can also set a speed limit within this formation, so that all motorcycles go the same speed.
Keep Your Business Alive
Businesses are a good way to earn a lot of money. However, you must invest beforehand and then maintain the business. You should buy some security measures, or else your business will often be stormed by NPCs. You should also invest in your equipment and personnel to ensure that expenses do not exceed the income from your “goods”. Once you have made the fine adjustments and necessary upgrades, you can almost passively earn your income.
For your business to function, you need to fill your stock, wait for your personnel to produce the product, and then sell it. You can either buy or steal the supplies for the stock. If you want to maximize your profit, it is recommended to steal the supplies. While the product is being manufactured, you can play activities or challenges. Once the product is finished, you need to complete a mission to sell it. Subsequently, you receive your earned money.

If Warner Bros. loses the license to The Lord of the Rings next year, fans still have the Chinese MMORPG Eternal Crusade.
The company Ujoy announced the online game Eternal Crusade as a mobile game, and just the trailer leaves players astonished at hobbit holes and dwarven cities. Even though the textures look quite blurred – after all, it is a mobile game – one might think the scenes from the video come from The Lord of the Rings Online. Not to mention, the story of the game feels strangely familiar…
27 Rings to rule them
One day, a dwarf came into possession of a magical ring and was driven to madness by its power. The lust for power led him to desire to become the ruler of the world. This resulted in a war between the dwarves, men, and elves, known as the War of the Ring. You will be drawn into this conflict, in which even more magical rings play a role.
Your task is to search for 27 magical rings that belong to the elf, dwarf, and human races. Why exactly 27, no one knows. As “ring seekers,” you want to find all the jewelry and harness its power for yourselves. This story is spiced with Asian elements, including typical Asian characters. However, the developers also want to make the online game appealing to Western players. You will explore a vast, open game world and fight boss enemies in large dungeons.
That looks somehow familiar…
Eternal Crusade is set to be released this November. A closed beta is planned for the end of October. The MMO will initially be available in Chinese and English. And who knows, maybe you will reach Mordor in Eternal Crusade before it is available in The Lord of the Rings Online…
Check out the trailer for the game. Don’t you think that Eternal Crusade bears striking similarities to The Lord of the Rings Online? By the way, despite its name, the game has nothing to do with the online game Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade.

The Overwatch fans see Easter eggs where there are none. Or is there something in the Junkenstein mode?
The current patch of Overwatch has not only brought some balance changes but also plenty of cosmetic rewards that can be snagged in the form of new loot boxes until November 1st. But there’s more: Temporarily, there is a PvE brawl where players as a team of four must fend off attacking Zomnics and some bosses to defend the castle.
As a small special feature in this brawl, players can shoot various crows, which disappear in a purple smoke cloud upon their death. However, this does not happen with all birds. Some “survive” apparently, leading fans to theorize that there might be an Easter egg or a secret regarding Sombra.
On Reddit, a user even claimed to have heard a sequence of strange sounds after shooting all the crows – due to the lack of proof videos (and because no one can reproduce it), this was dismissed by many.
Meanwhile, Blizzard has responded and clarified:
“The Overwatch team did not place any Easter eggs related to the crows in ‘Junkenstein’s Revenge.'”
This answer, however, did not satisfy the fans – as it could mean that there are other Easter eggs and possible details regarding Sombra in this mode.
Cortyn says: The theories are really getting out of hand. But as one user on Reddit put it so nicely? “Sombra must obviously be a stealth character; after all, I haven’t seen her in the current patch yet.” Sometimes, a bird that explodes in purple smoke is just a bird that explodes in purple smoke.

Additionally, eager Guardians are constantly searching the Destiny universe for possible secrets, as they speculate on further unknown Exotics or other rewards. The possibly largest and most complex riddle has likely already been solved with outbreak-primus, but that does not stop the curiosity and zeal of the Guardians at all. The following two mysteries are currently hot candidates for exciting secrets.
A Code in “Last Exit”
With RoI came four fresh Crucible maps, one of which is “Last Exit.” During the last Bungie Bounty, Bungie’s Derek Carroll hinted in the livestream that there might be some sort of hidden code in “Last Exit.” This made the Guardians immediately alert. Additionally, Carroll published a mysterious image via Twitter, which the community is now diligently trying to decipher:

A solution has not yet been found, but both in this reddit thread and in the “Raid Secrets” thread, the results are diligently collected. The Guardians are working with codes visible on the scoreboards and with various colors.
It is also speculated that the solution could be on another map. But so far, everything is quite confusing, which is why a user writes somewhat: “I can’t wait for a clever mind to find the solution so I can grab the new weapon. In the meantime, I’ll eat hotdogs!”
What do you think? What secret could be hidden here? Or are the Guardians on a false trail?
Update: According to Derek, it is a code for an Easter egg, not for a quest. DeeJ also chimed in, stating that the solution is the only reward.
The Smoke in “Wretched Eye” Strike
This phenomenon is also currently being heavily discussed: If you start the strike “Wretched Eye” – it does not work via patrol – there is, at the beginning of the strike, where you search for SIVA nodes, a room where a witch awaits. In this room, green smoke rises – but that’s not all: In the fog, Hive runes are also visible.

The emissary quests in WoW have become even more rewarding. We have the details for you.
For those who aren’t particularly interested in the world quests of World of Warcraft: Legion, they should at least bite the bullet every 3 days to complete the 3 current emissary quests. These not only grant a proud 1500 reputation points with the corresponding faction but also provide a large chunk of artifact power as well as either Order resources or gold. Right after the launch of the expansion, Blizzard had already upgraded the chests to include rewards in the form of equipment – mostly around item level 810.
That was nice for a start, but now it’s not an upgrade for most players anymore. Therefore, a new hotfix has ensured that the rewards now align more closely with those of world quests.
World quests are now a bit more rewarding.
To do so, one must know that the rewards from world quests take the average of one’s own item level as a starting point. If one has an average item level of 830, it is likely that the rewards from world quests are slightly better, allowing the missions to remain worthwhile for longer. From now on, players should also receive useful upgrades from the chests more frequently and not immediately sell the armor to the person from whom they originally received it.
In general, every player should continue to complete the emissary quests, as they are a confirmed source of legendary equipment – arguably the best items players will see for a while.
The full patch notes of the small hotfix can be viewed in our sources.
First of all, the notice that today the weekly maintenance is taking place in the main game of The Division. At 9:30 AM, the servers will go offline. The downtime will be one hour, so it should continue at 10:30 AM. Nothing is changing here today.
On the PTS, however, already. The fourth week of this test phase is starting today.
Changes are being made to the difficulty and reward system
This week, Massive is looking for the right balance between the difficulty and reward system, with the condition that the game should still be fun. Before the following patch notes go live, there will be three hours of maintenance starting at 9:30 AM. Week 4 will start at 12:30 PM.
Especially in challenge mode, there have been inconsistencies regarding difficulty. This will change today:
The Challenge Mode in the Underground now scales depending on the squad size in terms of health points and damage of the enemies, and not anymore based on the number of enemies. This means that as solo agents, you will have to fight more enemies than previously on the PTS, as the number of enemies remains the same.
Additionally, the chances of loot drops from adds in the underground have been slightly reduced.
Furthermore:
A bug has been fixed, which caused enemies to deal 30% less damage than the intended 15%. They are now a little stronger than before.
In week 3 of the PTS, the armor of elite enemies and named enemies was reduced by 20%. This step will now be reversed.
Furthermore, the 2-set bonus from “Way of the Nomad”, the Health on Kill, has been reduced from 20% to 14%. This bonus has also been reduced on other items by about half, as it made healing skills or medkits almost unnecessary.
The Robust talent on chest armor items has been reduced from 30% armor to 10%.
All these changes should make enemies a bit more deadly again. Additionally, the challenge mode will be adjusted so that it is still doable solo but requires optimized gear.
Furthermore, some minor bug fixes have been addressed, which you can view in the Ubi Forum.
What do you think of the changes?

The explosive nature of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 can indeed be an advantage in GTA 5 .
In recent days, there have been many headlines about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Some owners had their phones catch fire, presenting a significant safety risk. Samsung has since halted sales and exchanges of the affected device. Customers are advised not to continue using this smartphone and to turn it off. Mod creators have now figured out how to leverage this disaster in GTA 5.
Samsung device replaces Sticky-Bomb!
Instead of the Sticky-Bomb, you can throw Samsung devices around with this mod. HitmanNiko is the creator of this modification, which is available for download online. In the video, you can see how the mod works and whether Samsung devices have as effective explosions as “traditional Sticky-Bombs”.

In World of Warcraft there was a bug. The Withered J’im is back again.
Among the most lucrative world quests in World of Warcraft are the world bosses. Each of them is active for only one week and lures with a fancy reward, in the form of artifact power, a truckload of order resources, or plenty of gold. In addition, there is a chance to loot cool gear with an item level of 860 from defeating the world boss, which can be further upgraded with a bit of luck.
However, this week there was a bug, as the “Withered J’im” is now the current world boss for the second week in a row. In fact, the bosses should alternate, and a duplication should be avoided. Blizzard has acknowledged the bug but does not plan to change anything this week.
J’im has been banished from Suramar – this week he wants to try again.
So it is said by the developer:
“Something went wrong with our world boss rotation this week, and we know that J’im is active again. Our intention for these bosses is that they should alternate more and appear rather in a fixed sequence. We do not plan to change anything this time, but we will work on avoiding duplications (or worse) in the future.”
Of course, this immediately led to criticism in the forum, with one user responding sarcastically:
“In other words, you have no intention of changing such an obvious bug because you can simply say: “Oops, deal with it.” Thank you for once again showing the community how little you care about the quality of your game.”
Blizzard of course could not let this sit and justified the decision as follows:
“In my opinion, fixing the bug now would lead to problems. It would be a bad experience for everyone who has already killed J’im. And an even worse experience for everyone who has not killed him yet (because then they would have missed one of two world boss kills this week).”
In Destiny, you can receive an exclusive emblem tonight by defeating Bungie. Here is the livestream.
Today, on October 12th, a “Bungie Bounty” is happening on Bungie’s official Twitch channel. The developers are challenging you to a few rounds of Control. If you can defeat them, you can earn the following emblem, which may be worn with pride:
In previous “Bungie Bounties”, the selection of Guardians was determined randomly through player matchmaking. Thanks to the private match feature in the Crucible, Bungie can invite you specifically. If you want a chance to compete against Bungie, you need to be present in the chat.
It starts today at 7 PM. The game will be played on PS4. The target is “Cozmo_BNG” in the PlayStation Network. You can watch the spectacle on the livestream here:

You will be informed in real-time when Bungie needs new candidates.

The numbers of Overwatch are developing splendidly. More than 20 million players are fighting for the future.
Overwatch, Blizzard’s hero shooter, is a phenomenon in its own right. While the closed beta was still mocked by many, it became clear during the open beta test that the game would make a big impact. So it was no surprise that Overwatch had a proud number of 10 million registered accounts shortly after its release. By last August, just under 4 months after launch, this number had risen to 15 million players. Now it’s time for the next milestone.
As Blizzard announced in a press release, the game has now surpassed the magical threshold of 20 million players – and there is still no end in sight.
Blizzard’s figures are unfortunately not entirely precise – as usual. It is not entirely clear how many accounts are actually attributable to individual players and how many are “only” used in internet cafes (especially in the Asian region). Moreover, a certain portion of the player base likely has their second or third account in use after large-scale ban actions against cheaters and hackers. Regardless of this, Overwatch is quite a success that is on par with other Blizzard titles.
The 20 million represent the combined account numbers from PC, Xbox, and PS4 players.
Anyone who hasn’t checked out Overwatch yet should now take the crucial step. Currently, there is a Halloween event taking place in Overwatch, where there are numerous rewards that can only be obtained during the spooky Halloween season.

What is the TOTW?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. So it is in FIFA 17. Here, players who showed outstanding performances in real football over the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards within a week from those packs that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance is considered low. Additionally, you can buy these on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. The prices are usually extremely high.
