Maintenance work is taking place today, June 28, on The Division. The servers will be taken offline on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. 1.3 “Underground” is coming.
Today, the “Underground” expansion along with update 1.3 is released for PC and Xbox One. However, maintenance work will take place before that. After that, the new content will go live.
At 9 AM our time, the servers will be taken offline. The estimated server downtime is three hours, so you can log in again around 12 PM. 1.3 should then be available.
So far, there is no information from Massive in the Ubi forum about whether a 3-hour downtime is also planned for PlayStation 4. After all, PS4 players will receive update 1.3 no sooner than a week from now. However, since Massive has not mentioned any restrictions, we assume that maintenance work will be carried out on all platforms.
“Underground” and Update 1.3 are coming
Anyone who has purchased the expansion can start playing the new content from this afternoon: the Underground missions, the Incursion “Dragon’s Lair”, and four exclusive Gear Sets can be looted.
All agents will also receive the new features and bug fixes of update 1.3.
In The Division, the “Special Report” on the Underground expansion has just taken place. It introduced the five gear sets from 1.3. We summarize the information.
An hour before the livestream for “Underground,” Massive revealed some info: They released a new trailer and the patch notes for 1.3, which you can watch here.
Nonetheless, numerous interesting new features were shown during the stream. Particularly exciting: The specific bonuses and talents of the gear sets.
Beforehand: Important information for all PS4 agents. Update 1.3 has been delayed; it is expected to be released next Tuesday.
These are the gear sets from “Underground” 1.3.
During E3 2016, information about the new gear sets came to light. However, Massive warned that the values could still change. And they have changed.
This is the “AlphaBridge” set
This set is available to all agents as soon as they download update 1.3. Here are the set bonuses:
2 pieces: +2 medkit capacity
3 pieces: +100% health regeneration
4 pieces: If the primary and secondary weapons belong to the same category, the active weapon benefits from all active talents of these two weapons.
This is the B.L.I.N.D. set
These are the bonuses of this set:
2 pieces: +20% critical hit damage from the pulse
3 pieces: +100% resistance to “Blind and Deaf”
4 pieces: When you kill an enemy, a blind effect is triggered at that position, blinding enemies in the vicinity.
This is the DeadEYE set
These are the bonuses:
2 pieces: +20% critical hit damage with precision rifles
3 pieces: +40% stability on the first shot
4 pieces: Critical hit chance is increased to 100% when the precision rifle is not scoped, but this deactivates the headshot damage bonus.
This is the Reclaimer set in The Division
These are the bonuses:
2 pieces: +100% healing speed from the support station
3 pieces: +50% duration of consumables
4 pieces: Consumables and special ammo are applied to the entire squad and are not consumed.
This is the FireCrest set
These are the bonuses:
2 pieces: +3 incendiary grenade capacity
3 pieces: +100% reload speed
4 pieces: When you kill a burning target, you receive incendiary grenades for 10 seconds. You can keep firing at enemies with incendiary grenades as long as you keep killing enemies.
Showstopper and Weapon Talent Recalibration
During the stream, the developers showed all the new weapons in the shooting range. Particularly interesting was the new named weapon Showstopper. This is an automatic shotgun with a special talent: The lower the magazine, the tighter the crosshair becomes. Thus, you can make extremely precise shots towards the end of the ammunition, as shown in the following screenshot:
By the way: All displayed weapons had a gear score of 229.
For rolling weapon talents, it was mentioned that you have six attempts to find the right talent for a weapon:
For each attempt, you randomly receive four talents to choose from. If you want to change the weapon talent that does not have attribute requirements, the new talent will always be active.
By the way: The gear score visible in the screenshot is 255.
Underground missions of the expansion 1.3
In the stream, there was live gameplay of the Underground missions of The Division. You must first increase your underground rank to unlock multiple phases, higher difficulty levels, and directives. These cannot be selected immediately.
If you die in the underground, you receive no rewards and must start over. Even if you complete a phase, you only receive rewards when you completely master the mission.
Interesting: The items in the underground containers (similar to the sealed containers of the Dark Zone) adapt to your gear score. The higher your gear score, the higher that of the items. These are said to be a good source for improving your gear.
The new incursion “Dragon’s Lair”
The incursion Dragon’s Lair fights against the Cleaners. They bring new “toys” with them: They drive explosive charges toward you with modified toy cars. At first glance, these may look “cute,” but they are extremely deadly. In addition, they have a “big toy” with them, which will be the final boss of the incursion.
The incursion itself differs from the previous ones. It consists of multiple phases, through which you have to fight in different locations. You fight against the “Four Horsemen,” dangerous Cleaners who seek power. Then the final boss appears. Additionally, the incursion is said to include interesting coop mechanics.
The developers recommend increasing exotic damage resistance against the Cleaners. Final Measure is in order.
By the way: There will also be checkpoints.
The “Four Horsemen”
More info from the stream:
In the underground, there will be exclusive cosmetic items.
The two previous incursions will immediately receive the heroic mode at launch, while “Dragon’s Lair” will get it a week later.
The current “problem” that agents in the Dark Zone can be eliminated with a single shot using sticky grenades is being closely monitored. It is expected that changes with update 1.3 (specifically the gear score increase) will resolve the issue. The sticky grenades will no longer be OP.
Our friend Schorri TV shows you the information from the stream in moving images. You will also see the “little toys” of the Cleaners:

An analysis of the statistics website Superdataresearch has shown that Overwatch, League of Legends (LoL) and World of Warcraft (WoW) are the absolute top earners in their respective segments. Read here how much money was exactly generated.
Overwatch sets one record after another. Because after Blizzard’s hero shooter already replaced Lol as the most popular game in the PC Bangs of South Korea, the game is now also the top earner in the PC gaming sector. According to the statistics page Superdataresearch, Overwatch generated over 269 million US dollars in revenue in May 2016.
Thus, it surpassed the struggling competitor game Battleborn by far; the Gearbox shooter MOBA only managed to reach 18 million US dollars. Curiously, Overwatch is significantly less successful on consoles, ranking “only” fifth, ahead of Uncharted 4, Black Ops 3, Fifa 16 and The Division.
Blizzard can also rejoice, as the cult MMORPG World of Warcraft is still the number one in terms of revenue in the subscription-based online role-playing game sector, despite declining player numbers. Thus, Blizzard’s MMORPG ranks ahead of the competition in the form of Lineage, Star Wars: The Old Republic and the Western version of TERA. Yes, here all MMOs that allow a subscription are grouped together, even if it is optional.
The top 5 games in terms of revenue in May 2016. Source: Superdataresearch.com
In the free-to-play MMOs, the MOBA League of Legends clearly leads the field and is significantly ahead of the rival Dota 2, which only made it to fifth place. Overall, the study also revealed that online games – such as The Division – are increasingly becoming successful on consoles. In contrast, subscription revenues from the PC market were expected to continue to decline and fell below the 200 million US dollar mark for the first time in May 2016.
All of these figures pertain to revenue from the “digital market”, meaning the games do not go through a physical storefront.

Crowfall developer ArtCraft has announced today that the throne war MMORPG will be published in this country by Travian Games. The publisher from Munich is said to fit the concept of the game best.
At the Munich publisher Travian Games, known for the namesake building game Travian and several other mobile and online titles like Rail Nation and Truck Nation, the mood is likely to be exceptionally good. Because the developers at ArtCraft have decided to distribute their upcoming MMO Crowfall via Travian Games in the future.
https://youtu.be/7rQlL_aGJXg
Thus, the company from Munich takes over the publication of Crowfall in Europe, Brazil, North Africa and the Middle East. The reason for this collaboration, according to Travian CEO Lars Janssen, is that they have understood each other very well with ArtCraft and even cultural similarities exist between the two teams.
The chemistry is good between the publisher and developer of Crowfall
Similarly optimistic are the developers at ArtCraft: “We received several offers to publish Crowfall in Europe, but Travian simply fits best with our corporate culture. Travian Games has an enormous reach with millions of players worldwide and at its heart is still a game developer,” says Gordon Walton, the head of ArtCraft from Texas.
Moreover, Travian Games already has experience in campaign-based games and Crowfall is supposed to be just such a title. In the throne war MMO realized via Kickstarter, players play for several months in a campaign and try to survive during this time with their heroes amid the turmoil of a throne war. As soon as a kingdom is conquered and the campaign ends, it continues with a new episode. By the way, the open beta test of Crowfall will start this winter.
The title “Video of the Week” has been earned by the impressive video “Into The Light.” With impressive music, it shows a transition between calm moments in the Destiny universe and rapid sniper kills in PvP:

Blizzard and Facebook implement streaming via Battle.net. The latest alpha version of the software provides a taste.
Stream quality still improvable
The Battle.net software has received an update – at least in the alpha testing version. The already announced feature to stream various Blizzard games like WoW, Overwatch or Hearthstone directly via Facebook is included in this version. While it is still in an early stage, the colleagues at wowhead have already taken a closer look at the feature. The menus currently only have basic options, allowing manual settings for whether only the displayed game should be transmitted, or also sound from the microphone or a transmission from the webcam.
As the system will be tightly integrated with Facebook, various privacy settings will also be added, such as the option to make the stream accessible only to friends or the public, and additionally to set whether it should appear in the timeline.
mmo-champion has already experimented with this feature using Hearthstone and created a small test video.

The quality is currently still poor, but the service is only in testing – there will surely be significant improvements to the quality before the actual release.

The cooperative shooter Livelock fully emphasizes action.
In an interview with mmorg.com, Lead Designer Kein Neibert spoke about his baby. It has had a kind of maiden voyage at PAX East. About 1200 people played it at the fair, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Some queued multiple times to chase the high score on the leaderboard.
At the beginning, the game was more oriented towards “action RPG”, but then it was found: “Players spend too much time in the inventory managing something. This disrupts the flow of combat!” Even though it was heavily inspired by traditional action RPGs: Livelock is, at its core, an action shooter. This was then emphasized more, RPG elements were simplified, and action was brought to the forefront.
In The Division, this evening, on June 27th, the “Special Report” livestream for the upcoming expansion “Underground” takes place. You can watch it with us.
For PC and Xbox agents, the paid “Underground” expansion is now just around the corner. Starting tomorrow after maintenance, you can enjoy exploring the Underground at your leisure.
Beforehand, Massive is holding a “Special Report” on the Twitch livestream, where they will showcase scenes from the game and talk about some features.
Livestream for Expansion 1.3 in The Division on Twitch
Below we embed the stream for you. It starts at 7 PM our time:
https://www.twitch.tv/thedivisiongame
In the last few days, the weapon balancing has been the main topic. There are already some details known about the Underground missions. However, the new raid “Dragon’s Den” has hardly been highlighted so far. We may learn more about this Incursion in the stream as well.
We will promptly publish a summary with the most exciting information from the stream today.
Special reports were already held for the last updates:
PS4 users with a “PlayStation Plus” membership may be able to enjoy these free games in July.
Every month, “PlayStation Plus” owners receive free games offered by Sony. This is one of the benefits they receive from the approximately 50-euro membership (per year). The games will be available for download on the first Tuesday of each month.
The official list of free games for July 2016 is still pending, but there is already heavy speculation about which free games players can look forward to next month.
Highly rated among PS4 owners is Bethesda’s top-notch horror game The Evil Within. This was already available last month for Japanese subscribers of the paid online service. It is therefore possible that the survival horror from Bethesda will also be available for European and American PS Plus members for free in July.
Currently, you can still download the top game NBA 2k16 for free if you have PS Plus. This is the highlight of the current month.
Additionally, there is a rumor that Resident Evil 6 will be free for the PS3. However, only the official list from Sony will ultimately show what lies behind these speculations.
The free PS Plus games for July 2016 will be available for download starting July 5.

With the upcoming update to version Alpha 2.7, the universe of the MMORPG Star Citizen will be expanded.
Currently, many players are enjoying version 2.4 of the online game, which introduced persistence into the game world. This means that, for example, damage to ships will persist, and players can equip their characters with gear that will remain with them. Furthermore, work is already in progress on additional updates.
The first star system is nearing completion
According to Cloud Imperium founder Chris Roberts, the focus is currently on finalizing the Stanton star system. A star system spanning several billion kilometers is being built around the gas giant Crusader. In order for the Cryengine to render such a large area filled with objects, some adjustments had to be made to the graphics framework. This includes the CryNetwork (the object management system of the CryEngine), which had to be completely rewritten.
While a new pirate base is being prepared for update 2.5, which serves as a hideout for criminals, update 2.7 will introduce procedurally generated planets into the game. These will populate the Stanton system. Among these planets is the already known ArcCorp, which will also be transferred to a procedural system. It will then be possible to transition seamlessly between space and planets.
Work is progressing
Additionally, work is already underway with Nyx on the next star system. However, it is still unclear whether Nyx will also be introduced with update 2.7. They also announced that they will only address the cargo and mining systems once the Stanton system is completed. No release date for update 2.7 for Star Citizen has been set yet.
A new trailer for Riders of Icarus featuring the dungeon and raid bosses from the current closed beta has been released. In it, we see all the bosses that are currently in the game.
Riders of Icarus allows us to hunt various bizarre creatures in a colorful fantasy world, which we can then use as pets, mounts, or upgrade materials. But what dangers justify such efforts? A new trailer answers this question, in which we can see the major bosses from dungeons and raids. These enemies are currently present in the closed beta as well as in the upcoming open beta starting on July 6.
First up is the vampire lord “Lord Carleone”, who initially encounters us in his human form and then transforms into a winged monstrosity. Next, we have a furry beast that somewhat resembles a yeti and rightfully dwells in an icy wasteland. A tough enemy, but it gets even worse. In another dungeon, our heroes face a cursed knight in his gigantic armor. Dark knight figures are almost standard in MMOs, and this specimen promises a proper challenge.
Fight the Titan!
However, this boss pales in comparison to the colossal ice titan at the end of the video. This giant fills the entire screen, and as a raid boss, he is a tough nut even for a large group of seasoned heroes of all classes. In our preview session for Riders of Icarus, we had the chance to face the giant and were crushed in seconds! You can see all these big boss creatures in the new trailer video, which we have embedded here for you.
What do you think of the video and the bosses? Cool and impressive or just the usual fantasy clichés of the vampire and the black knight? Let us know in the comments!

Blizzard’s hero shooter Overwatch is our MMO of the month for May and June.
We also cannot and do not want to escape the momentum; Overwatch is our MMO for May – and we are adding June right away. In May, there would have been the related Battleborn as competition. Meanwhile, the DLC ‘Dark Brotherhood’ for The Elder Scrolls Online was released and there was a lot happening in Division. But, let’s be honest: The big phenomenon in early summer 2016 was Overwatch.
The game has thrilled numerous players on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One – including our editors. We want to acknowledge that.
5 Reasons Why Overwatch is Our MMO of the Month
It’s once again a big campfire. In the past, the ZDF show Wetten dass… was called “the campfire of the nation”, the show where grandchildren, sons, dads, and grandmas gathered in front of the couch to watch the funny guy in a silly suit. Overwatch has a similar effect. Everywhere, fans of Diablo 3, WoW, or Starcraft noticed: Oh, my friend list is suddenly active again. And everyone is playing Overwatch. The game has gathered and united friend and acquaintance circles again. It’s a game that people can agree on.
The entry point is so easy. Some may wrinkle their noses at the comic graphics or the large hitboxes, but it is wonderfully easy to find one’s way into Overwatch and to gather first successes: It is a shooter even for non-shooter players. In a pinch, you can get your first successes with Torbjörn, Winston, or Reinhardt, even if your only aiming experience in recent years has been in front of the toilet bowl.

The rounds are short; it’s the ideal game for a quick break. A round lasts six to twelve minutes, and they go quickly. Even if it’s going poorly, you can still have fun, and if it still doesn’t work, you just switch heroes in the round and try again. And if it still doesn’t work… the next match is quickly found. It’s a game where you are not committed to anything. Jump in quickly, jump out quickly – maybe that’s exactly our zeitgeist.
It’s hell of a lot of fun with friends, Those who manage to enter quickly realize how cleverly the game is designed. Although each hero has so few abilities, they synergize surprisingly well. The “Play of the Game” keeps motivating for special achievements. The community exchanges tips in guides about Overwatch, and there are many tricks and tips to discover. And in a team, it’s especially fun while joking around with friends.
Blizzard has made a real hit with Overwatch. Our MMO of the month for May and June.
Our MMOs of the month in 2016 so far – And yes, we are using the “MMO term” here in the sense of an online game. Just as it is becoming increasingly visible.
In the MMO shooter Destiny, there will be no new subclasses for Guardians with “The Rise of Iron”.
At the launch of Destiny, each class had two subclasses, “focuses”. Since the “The Taken King” DLC, each class has an additional focus in their repertoire. The focuses provide your Guardian with various super attacks and abilities, based on the three elemental damages.
As Scott Taylor reveals in an interview with PlayStationLifeStyle, players shouldn’t hold their breath for new subclasses to come with “Rise of Iron”.
No new focuses, but other things
According to Taylor, there will be no new focuses in the fall expansion. However, other “things” are expected to come that will allow you to improve your Guardians’ power. More information will be shared later in the summer. They are already very excited about this.
Furthermore, Taylor confirmed that Bungie will introduce “similar things” to the Light Spark: This will allow Guardians to start directly with “Rise of Iron” when they purchase Destiny fresh.
The Light Spark came with “The Taken King” and brought the Guardians directly to level 25.
Gigantic is conducting a stress test in June for PC and Xbox One.
Gigantic has had a tumultuous development history. As a Windows10-only game and later for Xbox One, it attracted attention with its quirky aesthetics, the massive guardians, and the gameplay concept. Then, like other hero shooters (Battleborn, Paladins), it got caught in the bug wave of Blizzard’s worldwide hit Overwatch and the bad news started piling up.
However, it has been suspiciously quiet around Gigantic in recent months. Now, on June 30, a stress test will take place on PC and Xbox One for selected players. It looks like the project is gaining momentum again. By the way, they see themselves as a “free-to-play third-person MOBA.”

The upcoming space simulation No Man’s Sky is in the final stages of development. Sean Murray looks forward to the launch positively.
No Man’s Sky is a highly anticipated space survival game set in an almost infinite, procedurally generated galaxy. A few weeks ago, it was reported that the game needs to be postponed to August to give it the necessary polish. Some “fans” could hardly believe this and even issued death threats.
Sean Murray, the founder of the developer studio Hello Games, reacted calmly to these severe reactions, apologized for the postponement, but also provided understandable reasons. He is now addressing the community with a current status report.
Hello Games is working “super, super hard on No Man’s Sky”
According to Murray, the game is getting better and better. The components are gradually coming together. The team works late into the night and starts early in the morning again.
No Man’s Sky is much bigger than we can imagine, says Murray. It is the most challenging task he has ever worked on. Such a game has never been attempted by anyone before, and the team behind it is smaller than one might think. The expectations, however, are enormous and continuously growing.
Despite everything, the development is “really going well.” They only have one chance to create No Man’s Sky, and they don’t want to mess it up. Therefore, Murray is becoming a little more confident every day that it was the right decision to postpone the game.
He is very proud of what they are doing. And he looks forward to when the community holds the game in their hands:
The universe will soon belong to you.
No Man’s Sky will be released on August 10 for PlayStation 4 and PC.
Here comes Michael J Fox straight from 1985 into the setting of GTA 5 Online.
In GTA 5, there is a new Easter egg that transforms you into a form that is very similar to “Big Foot”. The grand finale of this Easter egg is a battle with you as Big Foot against the beast that bears a striking resemblance to Michael J Fox in the movie Teen Wolf from 1985.
Teen Wolf in Director Mode in GTA 5
In order to play as the Teen Wolf in single-player mode in GTA 5, you must first collect all the golden peyotes. You need to have completed the game 100%, finished the “Strangers and Freaks” mission “The Last”, and collected all 27 peyote plants. The golden peyotes appear at 7 different locations between 5:30 AM and 8:00 AM when the weather is set to “Foggy” or “Snow”.

In the video, you can see the various spawn points of the golden peyotes, both on the map and at the actual locations in the game – so you don’t have to search extensively to find the plants. After collecting the last peyote plant, you should definitely stay in the hallucination to get closer to the Easter egg. By pressing CTRL or L3 on the controller, you let Big Foot grunt. A wild animal-like “response” will come from a distance that you should follow.
In total, you will find 9 different “event” points with dead NPCs, dead animals, or crashed cars on your way. The path you must follow, like the events themselves, is randomly generated. Ultimately, the last grunt will lead you to a plane wreckage site in Blaine County. The video recommends using a God Mode or a PC trainer for the upcoming battle. At minute 14:10, you will see in the video the path you should take to find the “beast”.
Once you have killed the “beast”, you can choose “Wild Animal” (possible translation from the original: Wild Animal) in Director Mode. Then press Left Shift + CTRL or L3 + R3 simultaneously to transform. This is what the new gameplay experience looks like:
