The Twitch streamer Asmongold talked in a stream about wealthy influencers who behave inconsistently. For streamers like Pokimane or HasanAbi speak as if they are just as broke as the average citizen, while they indulge in luxury.
Who is Asmongold ranting against? In a previous Twitch stream, Asmongold reacted to posts in his Reddit. Among them was a clip in which the Twitch streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys talks about the rich in a joint stream with Jason “JasontheTween” Nguyen.
Pokimane says: She hates the rich.
She means: “Do you think we’ll have a revolution in America someday? Right? It’s progressing, isn’t it? Another one. The wealth inequality is getting worse. (…) And we hate the rich” (via YouTube).
We introduce you to the streamer Asmongold in our video:

You would be the first to be taken at a revolution
How does Asmongold react? Asmongold immediately points out the contradiction in this statement.
Because the Twitch streamer Pokimane clearly belongs to the wealthy she herself talks about.
Asmongold responds: “I love how people say that as if you wouldn’t be the first to go to the guillotine. You would be the first! Who is this ‘we’?” (via YouTube).
Her streaming colleague JasontheWeen also expresses concerns about Pokimane’s statement in the clip and asks her if she is not also among the wealthy.
The Twitch streamer clarifies that she means the “ultra-rich,” the “unnecessarily rich,” the “billionaires,” and the “Bezos.”
Furthermore, Asmongold believes that there are some influencers who are wealthy but still rant against the rich, thus constantly fueling the thought of a revolution. The reason they act this way, according to Asmongold, is that they think they wouldn’t be a victim of such a revolution.
It looks really bad when all these people talk about how great socialism is while these people live a life of luxury. If someone doesn’t live what they preach, they probably don’t really believe it themselves.
As an example, Asmongold features the Twitch streamer Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, who has a leftist mindset and continually expresses this on his Twitch channel, while also being one of the biggest in the industry with over 2.8 million followers on Twitch and regularly benefiting from his luxury.
Asmongold is one of the most successful streamers on Twitch, but also one of the most controversial. For some time now, he has been increasingly creating political and polarizing content.
His content and statements have made it difficult for him to be “brand-safe,” meaning it has been challenging for him to find sponsors. This was also one of the reasons why the WoW group OTK distanced itself from him.
How rich is Pokimane? The exact earnings of Pokimane can only be estimated through some clues, but the Twitch streamer with more than 9.3 million followers on Twitch can definitely be regarded as one of the big names in the international Twitch space.
Additionally, there are regular sponsors, donations from viewers, and the fact that she had an exclusive contract with Twitch in the past for which she was also compensated. Through selling her merch, she also makes a profit.
Pokimane has been a successful, professional influencer since 2017, building a large name for herself and considered “absolutely brand-safe,” making her extremely attractive for the advertising industry. Thus, her wealth can already be estimated to be in the millions.
Since the first trailer for GTA 6 in December 2023, fans have been eagerly waiting for the release of more content to ease the wait until the release date, or at least its announcement. However, a former developer of the studio has a completely different opinion on this.
What connects the developer with the GTA series? Obbe Vermeij, a former Technical Director who worked for Rockstar from 1995 to 2009, often talks about his time with the creators of the GTA series on X. In his latest post on X, he celebrated the 17th anniversary of the release of GTA 4, where he also discussed the decision-making process that led to the eventual delay of the title. The team noticed at that time that they could not meet the targeted date. He further speculates that the decision day for GTA 6 could be similar.
Vermeij adds the following to the topic at hand: “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t release any additional trailers.” (via X)
Here you see the first and so far only trailer for GTA 6:

“That would be a boss move.”
Why does the developer not want to see any more trailers for GTA 6? Vermeij states that the game simply does not need any more trailers or other promo material, as the hype around the game is already big enough. And in this way, the surprise effect can make the release an even bigger event (via X).
Another X user (JoeDannyMan) finds this idea great: “That would be insane. Just announce a release date and nothing else. People’s heads would explode from all the hype and speculation.”
The former developer seemingly aims for exactly that: “That would be a boss move.”

What do we know so far from the first trailer of the game? The 1:30 minute-long trailer showcases the new location where GTA 6 will take place: Vice City, which conveys Florida vibes through its city, beaches, and distinctive, sometimes quite wild residents. Along with nightclubs and luxurious living, swamps and alligators can also be seen, indicating a versatile gaming experience.
Furthermore, we also get to know the two main characters of the game, Lucia and Jason, between whom the trailer hints at a “Bonnie and Clyde”-like romance. The trailer remains vague enough to allow fans to speculate further, yet still offers enough for players to look forward to.
A company investigated how productive employees are in the office. And it was found: After a certain number of working days, productivity decreases. At the same time, the company demands more days in the office from its employees.This would be better for the company, the customers, and for innovation.
PricewaterhouseCoopers International (PwC) is an auditing firm based in London (UK). PwC belongs to the so-called “Big Four,” as the four largest consulting and auditing firms in the world employ a total of 1.5 million employees.
For one quarter, the corporation monitored its employees to find out how the staff works in the office and from home. And PwC found: The longer employees have to sit in the office, the less productive they are.
This was explained by PwC and other companies to a committee of the British Parliament. The British Parliament has established a committee, the “Home-based Working Committee”, to review the impacts of office and home office work.

After 3 days in the office, employee performance declines
What has the company found? After the first quarter in which the employees were monitored, Phillippa O’Connor, Chief People Officer at PwC in the UK, stated that there is “a really clear correlation between time in the office and the utilization of our employees”.
PwC also compared attendance data with preliminary data from the annual employee engagement survey and found that those who come into the office three days a week are the most engaged.
The initial data shows us that employees who are in the office three days a week are more engaged. Where they are in the office five days a week, they are less engaged.
Productivity decreases over the week, the longer employees have to sit in the office. At the same time, however, PwC also stated that it is better for the company, for innovation, and also for the customers if the employees are in the office, O’Connor explained to the English-language magazine Business Insider. The office is also very important for trainees.
There are leaks indicating new items in Pokémon GO. And they could be really strong.
Pokémon GO is regularly updated with new content. This includes new monsters as well as new items and features that find their way into the game, like the Dyna-Mushroom recently.
Recently, there have been several hints from data mining suggesting that there could soon be 2 new items in Pokémon GO. And they are likely to be very familiar to players of the main series: the silver and gold bottle caps.
Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
Strong IVs for everyone – possibly
What are bottle caps? In the main games, the two bottle caps have been around since the Sun and Moon editions. They ensure that IVs, or the attribute values of your Pokémon, are enhanced in battles. With a silver bottle cap, an IV value can be raised to the maximum, and with the golden variant, even all of them.
Currently, the hints that these two items could appear in Pokémon GO are increasing. Recently, a leak pointed to corresponding tutorials (via reddit), and in a new leak, icons for the two items were also found (also via reddit).
What would change with the items? If the bottle caps really get released in Pokémon GO and the functionality resembles that of the main games, it would be a significant change. You could enhance your rare and legendary monsters that do not have good IVs and even turn them into hundos.
This could be particularly worthwhile for monsters like Diancie, which you can only obtain once in Pokémon GO. You could also prepare Pokémon with IVs approaching 0 for the battle leagues with the silver bottle caps.
When will the items come into play? Be sure to note that the current findings are not official information from Niantic. All information comes from so-called data mining, where technically skilled individuals look at content, such as images, that have been added to the game.
This does not mean that the features are about to be released. It is possible that it could take a long time before the bottle caps are released, and also that they may never appear, as Niantic may ultimately decide against them.
When exactly and in what form you will receive the new items is currently unclear. However, it is clear that they would bring one of the strongest changes to the game if they are released.
The new month is around the corner. And this also brings many events to Pokémon GO, providing you with a variety of content. If you want to get an overview of this, take a look at our overview of all events in May 2025 in Pokémon GO.

There are countless games in the Marvel universe. Some of them are also Free2Play. One of the most successful is finally coming to Steam after 10 years, offering a lot of content and over 300 playable heroes and villains.
Which game is it? Marvel Contest of Champions (or Battle of Superheroes) actually released in December 2014. Those who are not on mobile platforms may not be aware that there are countless Marvel games that can be played for free.
There are various genres, and at its core, Marvel Contest of Champions is a classic fighting game. As announced, the game will finally be available on Steam, bringing a lot of content to PC.
Start video
Marvel Contest of Champions – Trailer for the Steam Release of the Fighting Game
Tons of content and characters for comic fans
What kind of game is this? Marvel Contest of Champions is a classic fighting game like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. In 1v1 matches, you fight as a villain or hero from the Marvel universe against other players, your friends, or bots.
Compared to genre icons, the game is somewhat simpler. As a Free2Play game, the entry barrier is quite low. However, it should be emphasized that the game is a classic gacha game. You unlock characters randomly through a form of loot boxes, and to upgrade them, you have to grind a lot or dig deep into your pockets.
If you have issues with such games, you should not play it.
Aside from that, the game is already over 10 years old, which means it also offers a lot of content and many playable characters that can be unlocked. In addition to classic heroes like Iron Man, Thor, or Wolverine, there are also lesser-known characters like Mephisto, Bishop, or Annihilus.
If you don’t feel like facing other players, you can also dive into single-player missions to improve your resources and team.
What is special about the PC version? The PC version will feature crossplay and cross-progression with the mobile version, so the updates will also release simultaneously. Additionally, the PC version is said to have improved visuals and UI, and 60 FPS. Furthermore, keyboard and controller support will be available. When the game will be released is still unclear.
When it comes to failed MMORPGs, WildStar is undoubtedly one of the games that fans miss the most. A part of the community now puts its hopes on the GOG platform.
Why GOG? The platform gog.com is part of the “CD Projekt” group and is dedicated to preserving games for eternity. This includes not only new games but also old classics that are often hard to get nowadays or that would not be compatible with current hardware in their original versions.
For this goal, there is the so-called “Preservation Program” on gog.com, which already includes more than 160 game classics. Additionally, you can submit your favorite games for availability on the platform via the Dreamlist of gog.com. One game that ultimately made its way to GOG through this channel is the PlayStation RPG Breath of Fire IV from 2000.
The disappointment stems from the fact that WildStar, with its challenging raids, engaging combat system, fantastic housing, and quirky humor, was actually far too good to end up on the MMO graveyard after just 4 years.
The MMORPG has many fans who have been hoping for a revival since the shutdown, as evidenced by a petition from 2020 that was signed by more than 10,000 fans. Recently, the application on the Dreamlist of gog.com has already received over 1,360 votes and more than 80 personal memories of WildStar.
What are the chances of a comeback? This is currently being discussed by part of the community on Reddit. Some players doubt that the publisher NCsoft – which holds the rights to WildStar – would enter into such a deal with CD Projekt.
Others counter that NCsoft did something similar just last year. After the official shutdown of the MMORPG City of Heroes in December 2012, fans had to look for illegal alternatives like private servers, where you never know how long they will be able to keep operating.
While many major game developers are currently focusing on extraction shooters, EA is pulling the brakes on its own project of this kind and laying off numerous employees.
Where does this information come from? This is reported by industry insider Jason Schreier for Bloomberg. According to this, EA is cutting “between 300 and 400 positions” – including about 100 jobs at Respawn Entertainment.
Schreier cites a source who wishes to remain anonymous and is familiar with the company’s plans. Respawn is primarily known today for the “Star Wars Jedi” games and Apex Legends. However, the studio has also previously worked on the very popular shooter Titanfall and its sequel.
Titanfall 2 is currently rated 95% extremely positive on Steam and is considered one of the 25 best shooters of 2025 by us.
Here you can see a trailer for Titanfall 2:

Titanfall 2 shows in the multiplayer trailer how fast the gameplay of the shooter is
Apparently new Titanfall shooter canceled
What kind of project has been canceled? According to the report, it was supposed to be an extraction shooter that was intended to be more in line with the old Titanfall games. The game would have joined a long list of new shooter projects with extraction mechanics:
Also outside of shooters, we can expect numerous games with extraction mechanics, such as the “Extraction RPG” Pantheon and FromSoftware’s Duskbloods.
Extraction games essentially work as follows: You enter a map with other players, fight for loot, complete tasks, and escape with your bounty. If you die, you usually lose everything again. This can feel exciting and rewarding – but can also be very frustrating. Compared to classic multiplayer shooters, they therefore occupy a clear niche.
Hunt: Showdown 1896, one of the (formerly) most popular extraction shooters, had around 60,000 concurrent players on Steam at its all-time peak (via steamdb.info). For comparison: That’s how many players Call of Duty has daily (via steamdb.info).
What does the developer say? Respawn Entertainment spoke out in a post on X. It mentions “targeted team adjustments.” The focus will now be on Apex Legends and the next chapter of Star Wars Jedi. Projects that are still in very early stages will be left behind.

Baldur’s Gate 3 gives players incredible freedom to make truly evil choices. One action has driven a gamer to quit the game and call his mom.
What did the player do? In a post on Reddit, IrritableGoblin recounts how he wanted to test just how evil and creative he could be in Baldur’s Gate 3 about a year ago. However, his plan failed in the first act – not because of the game, though.
In the Emerald Grove, you encounter the leader Kagha, who interrogates a little girl named Arabella. Depending on your dialogue choices and dice rolls, Arabella survives or dies. IrritableGoblin let the girl die.
Afterwards, he spoke with Arabella’s mother and told her that her daughter was still alive. Just to then throw her corpse at the mother’s feet. IrritableGoblin writes that he did not expect much of a reaction. But the NPC responded with a loud, heartbreaking scream that really shocked the player.

Quit the game and call mom first
How did he react? According to IrritableGoblin, he did not expect the reaction from Arabella’s mother. He thought the dialogue with her would simply change. That she would instead react directly and quite intensely to her dead child was something he did not see coming.
The player then immediately quit the game and ended his run. In fact, his own action affected him so much that he called his own mom to tell her he loves her.
What do other players say? In the comments, players exchange ideas about how they design their evil runs. One immediately suggests returning the dog Scratch in Act 3 to his old owner and drinking a potion of speaking with animals (via Reddit). This is really evil, as Scratch’s old owners mistreat him.
In general, many seem to end their evil runs once they have done certain things. Among these are killing Karlach (via Reddit). Animals seem to hit players hard: another player also spoke to animals actively and accidentally killed the owlbear mom in Act 1. The grief of the baby was unbearable and triggered an immediate reload (via Reddit).
The most upvoted comment from Walter_Melon42 explains that pure murder hobo runs are not that much fun. So playthroughs where you just slaughter everything and everyone.
BardBearian (via Reddit) goes into more detail: It’s very boring. At some point, the novelty wears off and you walk through a deserted grove area, empty shadowlands, an empty forge, an empty underdark, an empty harper hideout … […] It honestly just robs you of the best parts of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Baldur’s Gate 3 continually surprises with even the smallest details that many players probably do not get to see. This is partly due to the fact that the developers behind it seemed to have a lot of fun with their work. By the way, Larian is planning to continue this way: The studio behind Baldur’s Gate 3 prefers happy developers over the ‘boring’ DLC business

For a long time, it was quiet in the world of Starcraft, but after a long time, there is now a sign of life from the sci-fi brand. Now it seems that Nexon is confirmed as the developer of a new game, but that may not be the only Blizzard IP that has been snagged.
These included NCsoft, Krafton, Netmarble, and Nexon. The pitch round seems to have been won by Nexon, as reported by the Korean website MTN. Nexon is best known for the MMORPGs MapleStory and Dungeon Fighter Online – which are among the most successful genre representatives of all time.
But they didn’t just secure the Starcraft IP. According to the report, they have also secured the Korean and Japanese rights for an Overwatch Mobile.
To this day, the two Starcraft parts are loved by players:

What will these games be like? According to MTN, there were no requirements for the genre when awarding the Starcraft IP. It is still unclear whether the game will once again be a real-time strategy title or if they will use the universe for a different type of game. The last game in the franchise was the add-on Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void in 2015. The last major sign of life from Starcraft was in the card game Hearthstone.
With Overwatch Mobile, however, they seem to know more. The game was reportedly internally referred to by the bidding publishers as Overwatch 3, but it is not supposed to be a shooter. According to the report, “Overwatch Mobile” is to be a MOBA for mobile platforms and developed by Blizzard itself.
Dimitri “Dima” and Alexander “Sascha” Koslowski operated the channel “DieAussenseiter” in the early 2010s on YouTube. However, their immense success also had its downsides: fans waiting outside their door to take photos with their favorite YouTubers.
Who is it about? The cousins Dima and Sascha founded their own YouTube channel, DieAussenseiter, in 2008. On it, they produced comedy content and quickly gained an audience of over 1 million subscribers.
In the 2010s, their channel was the most subscribed German YouTube channel. In 2016, the channel dissolved and Sascha and Dima continued solo on their own YouTube channels, DIMA and Alexander Koslowski.
Sascha seems to no longer be active on his social channels; they are mostly deactivated. Dima, on the other hand, still regularly uploads videos on his YouTube channel. His videos mainly revolve around food content.
DieAussenseiter are among the early pioneers of YouTube. Gronkh also became a bigger YouTuber at that time:

“It was like Pokémon collecting”
That was Dima’s reality: In an interview (via YouTube) with YouTuber Paul Sydow, Dima talks about his life reality during that hype. Resourceful fans quickly figured out the address of their house in a suburb of Stuttgart based on the features in the surroundings.
After moving, he thought he was safe. But fans managed to find the address of the next house as well. When Dima came home from training, several fans were already waiting at his door. Sometimes, according to Dima, there were even people who had been there the day before.
This surprised the YouTuber, as they had already gotten their photo with him. He asked why they were standing in front of his door again and if they wanted another photo. The fans replied that he now looked different, was wearing a different outfit, and therefore needed another photo with him.
In response, Dima said: “It was kind of like Pokémon collecting” (via YouTube).
He further explains that while he could understand the fans’ desire, it was also always “exhausting” and “stressful.” After all, he was also undergoing training as a media designer while wanting to spend some time with the fans at the same time.
He concludes by saying: “That was a kind of: All life is work” (via YouTube).
As soon as 200 guilds have fully mastered the current raid instance of World of Warcraft on the mythic difficulty, they land in the corresponding Hall of Fame and thus secure an exclusive achievement. However, something went wrong with the current award.
The “Hall of Fame” of WoW will remain open until 199 more raid groups repeat this achievement and secure the remaining spots in the Hall of Fame. This time, it was the US guild “Twitch Prime” that captured the very last mention on the list on April 29, 2025. As a reward, an exclusive achievement plus title awaits.
The trailer for WoW Patch 11.1 and the current endgame season:
Start video
WoW Patch 11.1: Gallywix’s Control over the Cartels
A Kind of Karma
What was the problem this time? When scrolling through the current “Hall of Fame,” you land at rank 184 with the EU guild “Wait for it” from the server Ysondre, which was rewarded by Blizzard on April 28, 2025, with the achievement “Hall of Fame: Chromking Gallywix” (via blizzard.com).
The problem with that: The guild founded in 2010 consists only of one member at level 35, who likely hasn’t been online for ages. The guild only has another achievement to show for it. “Everyone needs a logo” is already obtained by creating and purchasing a guild emblem. This was in April 2014. So Blizzard has obviously made a mistake.
How can this happen? This is currently being hotly debated on Reddit. The thread creator LastSpirit3622 provides part of the answer right away: There is also a guild on Ysondre named “Waít for it” that managed to defeat Chromking Gallywix on Mythic on April 23, 2025 (via blizzard.com).
An “i” instead of an “í” caused the error. At least Blizzard has now awarded the Hall of Fame achievement to the correct guild. However, the Hall of Fame itself has not yet been fixed. Moreover, “Wait for it” can still flaunt the achievement, even though it is quite possible that the inactive WoW player has not heard about it at all.
How does the community react to this? They are primarily wondering how Blizzard could make such a mistake. Many players have assumed that such allocations are done using a unique guild ID.
minimaxir wonders on Reddit: “From a technical standpoint, this is strange. One would think they would do it with some kind of unique guild ID rather than manually searching each guild by its name.”
Life_Fun_1327 jokes on Reddit: “Until this post, I was 100% sure they would use internal metrics and unique IDs for something like this. It looks like they just put an intern on a Windows 98 PC with RIO open” – with RIO, the player means the website raider.io.
TheFoxInSocks is pleased on Reddit about the karma: “As someone who really doesn’t like ‘names with random special characters’, I have to admit this is somehow satisfying.”
JD1337 finds such an error visibly embarrassing (via Reddit): “This is peak Blizzard, honestly a return to their glory days.”
The latter quote provides a great opportunity to once again explore the internal development at Blizzard Entertainment. For years, there has been a narrative that Activision has the former glorious studio on its conscience. However, those who look closer find other reasons for it: It wasn’t Activision that killed the “good old Blizzard”, but the success of WoW

Off the MCU, there are many exciting and powerful characters that have not yet been introduced in the movies. One of the most powerful beings in the entire universe is, interestingly enough, a small child against whom Thanos would stand no chance.
Which character is it? The Fantastic Four are arguably the most iconic family in the Marvel universe. Even DC tried to create a similar team. In 1968, in Fantastic Four Annual No. 6, a new member joined the family: Franklin Richards, the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm.
Children of superheroes tend to become superheroes themselves or sometimes even villains, but few are as powerful as Franklin Richards.
The latest adventure of the Fantastic Four is set to be released on July 25, 2025:
Start video
The Fantastic Four: First Steps – The new Marvel film will be released in theaters on July 25
A birth came with complications
Even before the actual birth, there were problems because Sue Storm had an unknown form of energy in her blood that endangered both her and the child, and was directly related to her powers. To bring the energy under control, Reed Richards had to steal a weapon from a villain in the Negative Zone.
Ultimately, the birth was successful, and Franklin Benjamin Richards was born. Due to the altered bodies of Sue and Reed, Franklin was not a normal human but a mutant. Normally, the powers of mutants crystallize later, but Franklin showed his powers early because the villain Annihilus unleashed them.
The problem was that Franklin was too young to control his massive energy. This posed a significant risk, as Comics Explained (via YouTube) illustrates in an example: Franklin was frustratedly playing with a Rubik’s Cube while the phrase When will you grow up? was running on TV. As a result, Franklin subconsciously transformed into an adult man.
This is just a small example of his enormous power, which actually knows no limits.
Franklin Richards is one of the strongest beings in the universe
What can Franklin Richards do? Mutant abilities have no rules, which is why some can also be more of a disadvantage. Franklin is an Omega-level mutant, a classification for mutants whose abilities (and limits) cannot be measured.
Franklin has the ability to manipulate and change reality to a high degree:
He can create planets and pocket universes
Duplicate living beings or bring them back from the dead
He can manipulate the powers and rules of the universe
He can manipulate matter
Teleportation
Time travel
Telepathy and mind control
Telekinesis
He can see into the future
Flying
He masters all these abilities at the level of a Celestial. These are cosmic beings that have also created the well-known 616 universe. However, it should be noted that he does much subconsciously as a child.
When the Fantastic Four and the Avengers died in the fight against Onslaught, he subconsciously created a new reality and revived the heroes there, without their previous memories.
Franklin Richards is, with a few exceptions, the most powerful being in the universe, and thus villains like Thanos, Galactus, or Mephisto would stand little chance against Franklin. However, Franklin is not a classic hero, especially since he could solve everything without any problems.
During the great Incursion event, he, along with his father and Molecule Man, saved the multiverse by creating new realities. After these events, he seemingly lost his powers and became an ordinary child. Attempts were made to regain his powers, and he even became a citizen in the mutant nation Krakoa.
However, after a battle in which his powers failed again, he was informed by Professor X that he was never a mutant and therefore could not live on Krakoa. In fact, Franklin ensured that he could only use his abilities one day a year.
He did this to be just an ordinary child. He uses his powers once a year to see into the future and try to prevent terrible events or ensure that they are prevented.
This not only has the advantage in the story that unsolvable problems can be solved (once a year) but also avoids the question in every story: Why doesn’t Franklin just take care of the villain on page one?
Will Franklin Richards appear in the MCU? In the latest trailer for Fantastic Four: The First Step, it is revealed that Sue Storm is pregnant. One can thus assume that Franklin will be born. Whether he will then have this powerful gift remains to be seen in the future, but as the multiverse continues to unfold, it is certainly possible. However, before that, Thunderbolts will be released: Thunderbolts is the next Marvel movie, and the first reviews praise: The MCU is back

May begins and brings some spotlight hours in Pokémon GO again. We will show you when they take place and what content they have.
What is a spotlight hour? A spotlight hour is a 60-minute event that takes place every Tuesday. During this time, you can expect at least one Pokémon that is in the spotlight and appears very often during the event. Each spotlight hour also has a bonus that is active during the event.
We will show you which spotlight hours take place in May 2025 and what content they bring.

Spotlight Hour on May 6, 2025
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? In the first spotlight hour in May 2025, Coiffwaff awaits you. This Pokémon is from Generation 6 and is of Normal type. It does not have any evolutions, but it has different forms.
What bonus is active? If you catch Pokémon during this spotlight hour, you will receive double the amount of candy. The bonus is not limited to Coiffwaff, but applies to all Pokémon you catch.
If you have Pokémon rewards saved up, for example from field research, you can catch these Pokémon with extra candy. If you use Razz Berries, you can further increase the effect.
Is the event worth it? If you want to use Coiffwaff as an attacker, you will be quite disappointed. The Pokémon is not useful in raids or for battle leagues.
As a collector, the event could be worth it for you to gather candy if you plan to obtain all forms of Coiffwaff.
Can you catch Shiny Coiffwaff? Yes, with a bit of luck, you might encounter the shiny variant of Coiffwaff.
Spotlight Hour on May 13, 2025
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On May 13, 2025, Sankabuh will be featured in the spotlight hour. This Ground-Ghost Pokémon has existed since Generation 7 and can evolve into Colossand.
What bonus is active? In this spotlight hour, you will receive double the amount of candy when you send Pokémon to the professor. This can be beneficial if your Pokémon box is full and you need to make space again.
If you have the corresponding Pokémon marked in advance with a tag, sending them during the spotlight hour goes quite quickly and takes little time.
Is the event worth it? Unfortunately, Sankabuh and Colossand are not suitable for raids or battle leagues. You should rather skip these Pokémon. However, the bonus from the spotlight hour is interesting and can provide you with some extra candy.
Can you catch Shiny Sankabuh? Yes. You can also find Sankabuh as a shiny if you’re lucky.
Spotlight Hour on May 20, 2025
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? Fiffyen is the Pokémon that awaits you in this spotlight hour. It is Dark type, comes from Generation 3, and can evolve into Magnayen.
What bonus is active? If you evolve Pokémon during this spotlight hour, you will receive double the amount of experience points.
Is the event worth it? You should probably leave Fiffyen and Magnayen in their Poké Balls instead of using them in the battle league or raids. Both Pokémon are simply too weak for that.
You can take advantage of the experience point bonus if you plan to evolve some Pokémon anyway. This way, you can grab some extra experience, which you can even increase with lucky eggs.
Can you catch Shiny Fiffyen? Yes. If you’re lucky, you can also encounter the shiny form of Fiffyen.
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? Golbit is the star of the last spotlight hour in May 2025. It is from Generation 5 and has the types Ground and Ghost. It also has an evolution, Golgantes.
What bonus is active? For each Pokémon you catch during this spotlight hour, you will receive double the amount of Stardust. If you have Pokémon rewards from field research that normally yield more Stardust, you should catch them during the event.
If you use Star Pieces, you can further increase the bonus and receive up to triple the amount of Stardust.
Is the event worth it? Golgantes can be a useful addition to your team if you don’t already have stronger Pokémon. For raids, it still ranks on our list of best attackers in Pokémon GO of the Ground type.
It can also be used in the battle leagues, even though there are stronger Pokémon available there. It can place in the mid-range in both the Great League and the Ultra League.
Can you catch Shiny Golbit? Yes, you can also encounter a Shiny Golbit.
In May, of course, not only the spotlight hours await you. The month brings many events that provide you with various contents. You can find out which ones they are and when they take place in our overview of all events in May 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Hi_Vader317 explains in the replies to his comment that he is still working on the new Indiana Jones game and adds: “AC Shadows, Fatal Fury, Expedition 33 – so much great content!”
What is the game about? Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is set in China in the year 1647. The Ming Dynasty has just fallen, and the inhabitants of the empire suffer from a mysterious disease that turns them into monsters. You play as Wuchang: An experienced pirate warrior who wants to bring her deceased sister back to life.

The battle shown excites many for more. Avalanste writes (via YouTube): “Holy shit, the fight looks so polished – this has absolutely nothing to do with the first trailer.” leandromiguel4481 meanwhile finds: “Damn, Asian developers are really delivering right now”
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers will be released for PC on Steam and in the Epic Games Store, as well as for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Additionally, the game will be included in the Xbox Game Pass.

During the Game Awards 2024, FromSoftware announced a multiplayer spin-off for Elden Ring: Nightreign. Here you will find all the information about the release, gameplay, and more.
Update from 26.05.2025: The article has been reviewed and updated. Additionally, references to information on preload, early access, and launch have been made. Here you will find the most important information and answers to questions regarding the release of the game on May 30, 2025.
[toc]
What kind of game is this? Nightreign for Elden Ring is neither a DLC nor a sequel, but a spin-off. Players must explore the map in a day-night cycle either in groups of three or solo, find loot, and defeat enemies.
When a day ends, a fire circle begins to consume the map and gather the players together, marking the start of the night. You must survive 2 nights during which a random boss appears, ultimately defeating one of the 8 Nightlords on the third day.
Nightreign has often been described as a rogue-like with battle royale elements. FromSoftware itself describes Nightreign as what they showcased during the first play: a co-op action survival game in the world of Elden Ring. The game is purely PvE and will not become a live service game in the future. However, a DLC has been teased.

All information regarding release, platforms, and price
When will Nightreign be released? Nightreign will be released on May 30, 2025.

How much will Nightreign cost? The standard edition of Nightreign costs €39.99. The deluxe edition will be available for €54.99.
Do I need to own Elden Ring to play Nightreign? No, you can also buy and play Nightreign without owning Elden Ring. Nightreign is not a DLC, but a standalone game.
For which platforms will Nightreign be released? The multiplayer version is set to release for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5.
Will there be a DLC? Since the start of the pre-order phase, the additional content of the versions indicates that Nightreign will receive a DLC. However, more detailed information about the DLC content has not yet been provided.
All information about gameplay, crossplay, and solo runs
Can you play Nightreign in co-op? Yes, you can play Nightreign in co-op, but a team consists of 3 players. Whether you can also play with just two players is still unclear.
Will Nightreign have crossplay? No, there will be no crossplay, but there will be cross-generation support among the respective platforms like Xbox and PlayStation.
Can you also play Nightreign solo? Yes, you can also play Nightreign solo in single-player mode. However, since the gameplay is designed for a group of three members, the solo run will likely be significantly more challenging. There will be no AI companions, and you will be left to your own devices. This is reported by MeinMMO author Caro, who has already played the game for 8 hours.
Will Nightreign have PvP? No, there will be no PvP elements in Nightreign.
How long does a run in the game last? A run that is played until the end lasts about 30 to 40 minutes.
Can I play my character from Elden Ring in Nightreign? No, your own character from Elden Ring cannot be played in Nightreign. You choose one of a total of eight different Nightfarers at the beginning of a game round.
What is a Nightfarer and what can they do? The Nightfarers are the playable characters, or in other words, the heroes from Nightreign. There are a total of eight of them.
In the latest trailer, Bandai Namco presented another playable Nightfarer, thus the fifth of the already known characters. Here you can learn more about him.
A sixth Nightfarer soon followed. This character is called Raider and represents a fearless barbarian. He can deal heavy blows and can erect a pillar that allows friends to quickly reach a higher position.
What is a Nightlord? A Nightlord is the final boss that you face when you have survived the first two nights. In Nightreign, there will be a total of 8 different Nightlords. One confirmed Nightlord is Gladius, the three-headed, chain-swinging wolf.
All information about the network test
When did the network test take place? The network test took place from February 14 to February 17, 2025. However, on February 14, there were already severe server problems, which is why FromSoftware is considering another date for the network test. We will keep you updated.
How could you participate in the network test? To participate, you had to register in advance on the official Nightreign page at Bandai Namco. Among the registered users, participants for the network test were selected. The registration deadline was January 20, 2025.
What was tested in the network test? Bandai Namco states that it was a stress test designed to evaluate various functions of the online system and performance. The content of the test is limited compared to the final game, and some texts and gameplay features may differ.
In Elden Ring magic is considered one of the most powerful tools with which players can traverse the world of the Lands Between. Many tarnished therefore refer to magic as the true easy mode, as every boss can be easily blown away. We show you how to build the best easy mode for yourself.
Update, January 12, 2026: We have reviewed the article and it is up to date.
Magic has been regarded as a powerful tool in every game by FromSoftware to eliminate hordes of enemies, as well as bosses from a safe distance. This is no different in Elden Ring, however, spells have changed and the necessary soft and hard caps have been adjusted.
The build we are showing you focuses entirely on intelligence and spells combined with an additional melee weapon. So if your FP runs out and you can no longer cast spells, you have a good alternative to fend off enemies.

How to level up correctly for this build
Why is this build so strong? Mage builds that focus solely on intelligence are powerful, as you can dominate the mid-range and especially ranged combat with powerful spells.
Our featured build covers not only all attack ranges to get rid of pesky enemies but also gives you the ability to deal massive damage to bosses. However, you must be adaptable, dress appropriately for each situation, and equip the necessary spells.
How do I level up best for this build? Your main attribute to focus on while leveling will be “intelligence.” The higher your intelligence, the stronger your spells become.
Additionally, you can equip better items that significantly increase your damage output. Furthermore, a high level of “mind” is required to cast spells more often.
Our build is designed for more advanced players and is set at level 150. We also pay attention to the “soft caps”, which are the values beyond which investments are hardly worth it:
These are the required stats you need
Our tarnished in this build has the origin “Vagabond”.
To give your spells the necessary piercing power, you need 80 points in intelligence.
This is the hard cap – you should not invest further beyond the hard cap, as you will not receive any worthwhile bonuses.
Mind is increased to 40 points so that you can fully refresh your blue FP bar with a flask of wondrous physic +12.
Strength and endurance can be chosen freely; we allocated our remaining points to 35 and 24 points.
This gives us enough stamina to deal a few hits with our great sword and sufficient health points to take some damage.
If you want to play PvP in the long term, you should try to keep your character under level 150. Currently, the community sees this as the meta level and has largely agreed not to level beyond that.
Since you only find players in PvP with a similar level as you, it becomes difficult to find opponents with a higher level. When respecing, you must redistribute all ‘purchased’ levels, so you cannot revert this investment – the only way out is a completely new character.
This is our choice: Since intelligence is raised to the utmost in this build, there is not much room for flexibility with other attributes that need to be considered. Therefore, we choose the following equipment:
First weapon on the right – Moonlight Greatsword
For melee, to save FP.
Second weapon on the right – Carian Royal Staff
For attacks on regular enemies.
Third weapon on the right – Lusat’s Glintstone Staff
For boss attacks.
Since staves are only good if they have a high spell-scaling, the selection of staves is very limited.
That’s why we have equipped two Glintstone Staves in our right hand, as both have their own areas of application.
This is what the items you need look like
Lusat’s Staff is considered the best staff to deal the most damage, but at the cost of increased FP consumption while casting spells. This is not worth it when traveling and wanting to go through higher “New Game Plus” runs, where enemies endure more damage, and you need to cast spells more often.
That’s why we also packed the “Carian Royal Staff” as it still has solid spell-scaling and costs you less FP when casting spells.
In the left hand, the “Jellyfish Shield” fits as it can absorb 100% physical damage as well as provide you with a damage buff. The buff is activated as soon as you activate the associated talent.
With the activated buff, you need to hold the shield in your left hand, making it perfect to wield alongside a staff. You benefit from a damage bonus while still being able to protect yourself.
If you want to learn more about shields, we have the right guide for you:
These are the ones you should have: It is important to consider the various headgear when using magic. There are items that enhance different types of spells or provide you with a boost to your attributes. Here are the ones we have selected for you:
The hat enhances thorn spellsThis hat increases mind at the cost of enduranceThis hat enhances icy spellsThis crown enhances Azur’s basic flow spellThis crown enhances Lusat’s basic flow spell
It’s up to you which hat or crown you want to wear. However, it would be advisable to wear the Azur’s Glintstone Crown if you wish to use the spell “Azur’s Comet” against a boss. This enhances the spell, but you will consume more FP while casting.
However, if you are only traveling, you should wear the Great Preceptor’s Hat. This not only looks cool but also increases your mind by three points. However, your endurance will suffer slightly as a result.
Which talismans should I take? We can only recommend you in your selection since each player has their own priorities regarding bonuses. Therefore, you can freely decide which talisman you want to use or exchange. Here are our talismans:
Godskin Swaddling Cloth Talisman: Significantly enhances the effect of spells.
Ursine Glintstone Blade: Spells consume less FP but lower max HP.
Radagon’s Scarseal: Reduces casting time.
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman: Greatly increases resistance to physical damage.
These are the talismans
We included the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman in our selection, as we, as mages, have few health points but low defense due to light armor. This talisman gives you a slight boost in your overall defense, allowing you to take more hits.
What else should you watch out for: Don’t forget your flask of wondrous physic. With it, you can create elixirs thanks to Elden Tree tears that provide you with special bonuses. In boss fights, the mix of “Heavenly Blue Secret Tear” and “Opaline Bubble Tear” is worthwhile.
This is what the tears look like
With this, you can not only summon Azur’s Comet without FP costs for a short time but receive an impenetrable bubble that protects you from any damage. However, this bubble bursts if you are hit once.
The best spells for the Mage Build
Which spells should I use? Here too, we can only share our recommendations with you as Elden Ring has many spells that could be useful for any mage. Nonetheless, we show you the following spells that you should not miss:
Azur’s Comet: Fires a large comet.
Good spell to annihilate bosses with a laser.
Ranni’s Dark Moon: Summons a cold, dark moon and hurls it at enemies.
Good for annihilating enemies in a moderate radius – freezes enemies and makes them vulnerable to magic damage.
Adula’s Moonblade: Follows a sweeping slash with an icy blade projectile.
Good for freezing many enemies with a horizontal cut and catching them from a distance.
Loretta’s Greatbow: Fires a great arrow with a magical great bow.
Fires a heavy and precise great arrow that can be charged.
Terra Magica: Increases the magical power of those within the seal.
Conjures a seal on the ground, which within its effect radius enhances your spells.
Azur’s CometRanni’s Dark MoonAdula’s MoonbladeLoretta’s GreatbowTerra Magica
These were all the necessary infos for our best mage build for Elden Ring. Many of our recommendations can be changed or adopted to your liking. However, pay attention to the hard cap of your intelligence and the Godskin Swaddling Cloth Talisman to maximize your magic damage.

The League of Legends Champions Korea is one of the most important leagues in LoL and the home of the legendary team T1. However, the LCK has recorded massive losses in recent years.
If you think the league is swimming in money with such viewership numbers, you are mistaken: Reports indicate that the LCK is facing millions in losses, and experts fear the league may be on the verge of collapse.

The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend
The LCK lost more money in 2024 than in the previous 2 years combined
This is the state of the league: As reported by the Korean site DealSite on April 21, 2025, citing the electronic disclosure system of the Financial Supervisory Service FSS, the LCK has lost nearly 50 billion won over the past 3 years – equivalent to about 30 million euros.
In the record year 2024, more was lost than in the two previous years combined:
2022: -8.1 billion KRW (~4.9 million euros)
2023: -13.2 billion KRW (~8 billion euros)
2024: -28.5 billion KRW (~17.45 billion euros)
During the same period, sales have also drastically declined. The losses may also stem from the fact that the LCK significantly lowered the fees for participating teams and offered profit sharing to help the teams stay afloat.
In 2024, the league also lost an exclusive deal with the Chinese streaming platform Huya.
Moreover, the LCK hosted the Valorant Champions Seoul in the LoL Park Arena, which likely incurred high operating costs. Even though the league is incurring losses, it may be that the owners, Riot, are still making money with the LCK.
Financial experts now fear that this way of operating may not be sustainable for the league in the long run. Even if the LCK isn’t facing immediate collapse, it should find new ways to generate revenue in order to possibly become profitable again.
