In a gameplay video, a sniper rifle is shown in action in Battlefield 1.
This year in Battlefield, you will experience World War I on land, at sea, and in the air. As an infantry soldier, you will have access to a wide range of weapons, with a particular focus on melee weapons this year. However, with sniper rifles, you can also heat things up against the enemy.
YouTuber jackfrags has recorded exciting footage of the sniper action in this first-person shooter and posted it on YouTube. This gives you a good impression of how you will find yourself as a sniper in Battlefield 1:

Is it worth saving Loot Boxes in Overwatch ? Jeff Kaplan explains how and when loot is generated.
Old Boxes, Old Loot
Overwatch, Blizzard’s hero shooter, had a pretty impressive launch. To keep it that way in the long term, the developers want to regularly release new content in the form of maps, heroes, and cosmetic upgrades. This raised the question of whether it might be smarter to accumulate loot boxes now to open them after the release of new skins. After all, anyone who already has a lot of skins will often get duplicates or triplicates, which then only grant 1/5 of the price as credits.
But is it worth collecting the boxes? Jeff Kaplan, the game director, gave a clear answer: No, collecting is not worth it! The content of a loot box is generated at the moment players receive their loot box – that is, when they level up or make a purchase. Consequently, it doesn’t make any sense to hold on to loot boxes for a long time or “save” them for future updates. The items in the respective boxes are already determined and will not be influenced by future content patches.
It is still unknown whether future skins can also be purchased specifically with credits – but there is currently nothing to suggest otherwise.
When will there be new skins in Overwatch?
Additionally, Blizzard at least provided a rough date for when players can expect new items. In the official forum, user SevenMD asked: “When will we get the first batch of new skins? I am itching to get some cool new stuff to play with.”
Jeff Kaplan’s brief and very direct answer: “This summer.” So by September at the latest, we should already enjoy new cosmetic items.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Trials of Osiris are temporarily suspended this weekend from June 18 to June 21. Will they resume? Now there is an answer.
On Saturday morning, the news came from Bungie that the Trials of Osiris are temporarily suspended. A problem is preventing players from joining matches. As a result, there were often 2-on-3 fights in the weekly PvP event. This makes the Trials of Osiris unfair. Bungie pulled the plug.
Many Guardians were waiting on Saturday for new information on whether Osiris would continue. After all, the Trials of Osiris are a staple of the weekly routine for many core fans and are among the highlights of the Destiny week.
On the night from Saturday to Sunday, June 19, the answer came: No. The error is too severe and cannot be quickly resolved over the weekend.
Due to the issues impacting it, Trials of Osiris will remain disabled through the weekly reset. For more info: https://t.co/CwgY90gmMR
In this cool PC case in Overwatch-style, there is not only a lot of work but also a lot of power!
When one thinks of “case modding” with computers, one quickly pictures bright PC cases that catch the eye. Here a colorful fan, there an LED strip – that’s almost “normal” and is usually seen with hobbyists who just want a decent-looking computer. However, when case modding is done professionally and you are also a fan of Overwatch, the results are far from being “normal.”
A strong i7 processor resides in the gorilla
The modders from “PC Junkie Mods” built this case and equipped it with plenty of power. Visually, the case resembles the hero “Winston” known from Blizzard’s popular shooter Overwatch. Among other things, the computer features an I7 6700k and 2 GTX 980 TI’s. The water reservoir in the weapon supplies the water-cooled system with liquid. “Ape-tastic,” right?
If you are interested in how to build such a cool case and what the individual steps look like, you can watch on YouTube how the guys from “PC Junkie Mods” built this case. Part 2 has also been released, which you can find on the linked YouTube channel.

In a presentation video, it was shown that since launch, 43 billion monsters have been killed in the game – including 578 million Mudcrabs – and 13 billion quests have been completed. Additionally, 3 billion gold coins have been paid as bounties. The game has had a long and sometimes rocky journey. However, it has now reached a point where the game has been able to gather a loyal and quite large fanbase, which has been continuously growing thanks to many changes based on gamer feedback. With the launch of ESO in Japan, many more players will be joining.
Of course, the recently released DLC “Dark Brotherhood” was also a topic, used as an example that new content is regularly introduced into the MMORPG, expanding not only the game world but also the possibilities for gamers.

Matt Firor explains that there have been plenty of changes and improvements in The Elder Scrolls Online so far, including the Champion System, which has made the game more accessible and “smoother”. With the upcoming update “One Tamriel” , this will continue by enabling level scaling everywhere, so that every player can experience any content in any area from the start. The announcement of this update has been received very positively by the community.
The Elder Scrolls Online has come a long way, but still has at least as long a way ahead. The many changes since launch, the loyal community, regular updates, and what the team has planned for the future have secured ESO a place among the MMORPGs that have been able to establish themselves in the market.
In Korea, the ninjas from Black Desert receive their awakening weapon, a trailer shows the fast action.
Ninja Awakening – More Blades, More Fun
In the original version of Black Desert, all classes gradually receive the “awakening weapons”. With this new war gear, the respective class becomes stronger and gets a new set of abilities. For the ninja, a new trailer has now been released, showcasing the class in wild slashing with their awakening weapon.

The fundamental theme of the ninja changes little; he still relies on lightning-fast strikes and stealth. However, since two swords are far too boring, he can wield up to 6 blades simultaneously in battle. Particularly cool moves like “I sheathe my sword, and only then does everything around me fall” are also part of the deal. From a gameplay perspective, this opens up even more possibilities for the ninja to strengthen himself when evading enemy attacks – precisely what makes such a nimble fighter.
In Korea, the awakening weapons are gradually being released; for the western market, the goal is to launch as many of these weapons as possible at once. Therefore, there is currently no date from the western publisher Daum regarding when these weapons will also make their way to our version of the game.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, three of the most sought-after Exotics from “The Taken King” are now easy to obtain.
In about three months, the next big thing is coming to Destiny: The “Rise of Iron” expansion. Along with new quests, we can look forward to plenty of fresh weapons and armor pieces. One or two Exotics will certainly be included. An upgraded version of the exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn has already been confirmed.
A few days ago, the Update 2.3.0 in Destiny went live and brought a surprise: From now on, the mission endings that are prerequisites for coveted Exotics are permanently available.
These Exotics are now easy to obtain
Since “The Taken King,” missions have been available which provide an alternative ending on certain days and are prerequisites for exotic weapons. For example, if “Lost to Light” was the daily story mission, the “Black Spindle“ day was loudly declared. Many Guardians were frustrated by this, as they either had no time on those days, their clanmates were not online, or various other reasons prevented them from obtaining the time-limited Exotics.
Since the Update 2.3.0 a few days ago, Bungie has taken a different approach. Now you can tackle these exotic weapons at any time. They are:
Black Spindle: If you want to embrace this powerful sniper rifle, you must complete “Lost to Light” with an alternative ending. It’s all about speed. How to get the Black Spindle in Destiny, we have outlined here.
No Time to Explain: For this stylish pulse rifle, you first need to experience the alternative ending in the mission “Paradox,” so that the follow-up quest “Not Forged in Light” activates. How you can get “No Time to Explain”, we present here.
The alternative endings of Paradox and “Lost to Light” can now be selected at any time via the Navigator.
These Exotics are now available at any time. They have lost their time-limited “special status,” as all Guardians can now easily acquire these weapons. In the coming days and weeks, we will likely see these three exotic weapons more frequently.
Presumably, Bungie wants to give more players the opportunity to try out “Black Spindle,” “No Time to Explain,” and “Sleeper Simulant” themselves. The next DLC is just a few months away. Then there will be new things again that will take on a “special status” in Destiny.

Originally planned for release, the upcoming pirate MMO Sea of Thieves was expected to launch this year. However, the new official release date has now been announced.
In an interview, Aaron Greenberg, head of Xbox Games, stated that pirates will set sail in February 2017. The game will be released simultaneously with the action-adventure Scalebound and will be available for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. However, a beta will take place beforehand; while registration is already available on the official website, the start date is still unknown.
MMO or cooperative adventure?
Sea of Thieves was one of the surprise hits at this year’s E3 gaming convention. Currently, it is unclear whether it is truly an MMORPG, as there is no information regarding the number of players that can be active on a server at the same time. However, several pirate crews will be sailing the seas, battling each other and searching for treasures. It is also not yet determined how deep the RPG elements will be. Can players improve their characters through skills? At least there will be quests and social activities like playing music and drinking.
Yohoho, it’s almost here!
Teamwork is essential, as large ships cannot be steered alone; a well-coordinated crew is needed to handle tasks such as hoisting the sails, steering, and managing cannons. At E3, developer Rare received great praise for the online game, which looks like a lot of fun.
If you want to embrace the seas as a pirate in Sea of Thieves, you can start sharpening your saber and prepare for thrilling pirate adventures by February 2017.

Today we deal with the (almost) most powerful weapon in World of Warcraft: Legion – the artifact weapon for fishermen.
The most powerful fishing rod that Azeroth has ever seen
In the past weeks and months, we have dealt with various artifact weapons that players can acquire according to their respective class and specialization. However, we have not yet talked about one weapon, as it is a special case tied to a profession. Those who dedicate themselves to fishing in World of Warcraft: Legion will enjoy an artifact fishing rod!
Background story: Unlike the other artifact weapons, the Underlight Angler does not have a real backstory. Instead, this fishing rod is constructed as part of a quest line. For this, players must first fulfill certain requirements (see below) before they defeat a particularly powerful Murloc in a quest line. Nat Pagle, the greatest fisherman of Azeroth, then decides that the corpse would be perfect for crafting a special fishing rod.
How to obtain the artifact fishing rod?
Acquiring the Underlight Angler is relatively simple, but requires some preparation. Especially the prerequisites that must be met can take some time. Three things must happen:
Fishing must be at rank 800
All rare fish from Legion must have been caught (Achievement: Bigger Fish to Fry)
All coins from the well of the new Dalaran must be caught (Achievement: The Wish Remover)
Once these prerequisites are met, one will soon catch a special pearl. This starts a quest line that leads the player to Khadgar, who in turn directs us to Nat Pagle. After that, a bit of fishing is done (who would have thought), a big Murloc is defeated, and then you can fish with much more style than before.
Features of Underlight Angler: Most features of the fishing rod increase the chance of finding certain fish in their respective areas. However, there are also many fun tricks, such as a chance to catch shoes while fishing or being able to walk on water.
Undercurrent winks as first and saves walking distances, as it allows the fisherman to teleport directly to the next school of fish.
With Fishbane, the damage of automatic attacks against aquatic beings is increased – so fish, crabs, and similar.
One becomes a fish with Fishrender’s Blessing. This allows one to move quickly in the water and breathe underwater at the same time.
Really useful is Blood Fishing. With this, one can occasionally catch blood from Sargeras while fishing, which is needed for many crafting recipes.
By the way: The fishing rod does not gain artifact experience in the usual way, but – oh wonder – by fishing rare fish.
In The Division, the time for paid DLCs is approaching. But what about those agents who do not want to purchase an expansion? Will they still have a chance in the Dark Zone?
Updates 1.1 and 1.2 were fully delivered to all agents who purchased the base game. That is now coming to an end. From now on, with the “Underground” expansion, only players who pay extra will receive the complete content.
Massive distinguishes between DLC content and free updates:
DLC owners will receive the Underground missions, the raid “Dragon’s Nest” and four DLC-exclusive gear sets upon the release of the Underground expansion. On PC and Xbox One, it launches on June 28th, on PS4 on August 2nd.
Additionally, all agents will be provided with free content upon release on June 28th. This includes bug fixes, weapon balance changes, gameplay changes, new weapons, and a new gear set.
Thus, all players benefit from some new features. But: Will one remain competitive if they choose not to buy the DLCs?
Do the DLCs create a two-tier society in the Dark Zone?
One thing is certain: Without DLCs, you will not be able to play new missions and raids. You will also have to forgo the DLC-exclusive gear sets. But what happens to the content that has already been purchased? Specifically, regarding the Dark Zone?
The Dark Zone is characterized by player versus player combat. Nothing is more frustrating than encountering another agent against whom you have no chance.
And for the future of The Division, there is now a risk that players without DLC may not keep up with those who have DLC. For example, upcoming gear sets could provide “unfair” advantages that severely disadvantage the “no DLC” agents. What is Massive doing to ensure that these agents can continue to enjoy the base game to the fullest?
So far, little is known about how Massive will deal with the “left behind” players. Can they even reach the new gear score caps? Can they still play with agents who own the expansions?
It is possible that a separate Dark Zone class will be established for them, where agents without DLC are among themselves. This is to prevent unequal power dynamics from arising. But it will definitely be interesting to see how the developers approach this splitting.
What do you think? Have you already purchased the Season Pass?
Gameplay footage from E3 shows the first insights into the upcoming online melee game Absolver.
Absolver is an online action RPG with a strong focus on pronounced martial arts combat. You play as a masked fighter who must prove their worth in an open world filled with other players and NPCs to become an “Absolver”.
One aspect is particularly important and interesting: How does Absolver play? How are the melee fights conducted?
Quiet but deadly – The combat system in Absolver becomes complex
According to the developers at Slocap, the battles in Absolver are conducted very fluidly and dynamically. However, the fights do not occur in a way where you wildly hammer a button and your opponent eventually lies on the ground.
Instead, the mechanics behind martial arts are complex and strategically developed. You can switch between different fighting styles at any time, which you can individually combine and create.
You can learn these “moves” throughout your journey and create combos from them. Your enemy will never know exactly which attacks and movements you intend to use to take them down. This way, you can create your personal fighter. You also have further customization options with the choice of your gear.
Besides the diverse attack options, you must parry or dodge enemy attacks during combat. All of this takes place in real-time and requires not only strategic action but also quick reflexes and skill. You must observe your opponent and read their movements.
You can see fascinating battles and some options in Absolver in the following video. It features pre-alpha gameplay:

At first, the fights are meant to be simple and intuitive. But as the game progresses, they become increasingly complex as you discover the different combat mechanics. Each “move” is purposeful and not just another animation of the same attack.
Compared to other action games that rely on explosions and heavy sound, Absolver aims to provide a pleasantly quiet experience. However, boredom will not occur: You may be quiet, but deadly.
By the way: You do not fight only with your fists. Swords have also been confirmed so far. You can customize these weapons in various ways. But beware: In combat, your enemies can take them from you.
Absolver will be released in 2017 for PC and PlayStation 4.
The next big patch for ArcheAge brings new playable races and a lady who hasn’t received enough attention.
Goddess Orchidna hates you all
For the Korean version of ArcheAge, patch 3.0 has already been announced, which is expected to bring many new features to the game. A new adversary will be the goddess of hatred, Orchidna, who, along with her snakes, is in a pretty bad mood because she has apparently been forgotten. Instead of taking her anger out on the developers, she directs it at the players. Understand if you can.
This announcement also included the news that there will be two new races for players to choose as characters. One can transform into demons, while the other has mechs that can be summoned in battle.
The good news for us Europeans: Patch 3.0 will be released “later this year” in the West as well; apparently, they want to speed up the release rate in our region a bit. The new trailer certainly whets the appetite for the content… Best to check it out yourself:

Tracer, a hero from Overwatch, is now also in Street Fighter V thanks to a mod.
PC gaming is quite an exciting story. Thanks to mods, a lot is possible. Modders have now brought the popular hero Tracer from Overwatch to Street Fighter V. She drops her weapons there and engages in hand-to-hand combat.
http://youtu.be/i9QbXicD7v0
If you look closely, you’ll see the trick. Cammy has been given a new skin. Still pretty cool! Blizzard is known to want to expand Overwatch into a franchise with multiple games – maybe someday we’ll actually get such a fighter. In the meantime, here you can download the mod for Street Fighter V.
Just a few days ago, the largest and most extensive update of the early access MOBA Paragon found its way into the game. However, this can sometimes lead to unexpectedly high downtime and a lot of frustration.
The Draft Mode
Last Tuesday, some fundamental systems of Paragon were significantly changed, such as the balance of all heroes and experience gain.
Also, the altered player search debuted in the form of the Draft Mode. However, this brings not only positive aspects.
The Draft Mode is a first step towards ranked games. The adjustment of the search was also necessary, as there were sometimes extremely long wait times before the start of a match. Now you simply select the actual game mode (PvP, co-op vs. AI, or solo vs. AI) and then your preferred hero.
The Draft Lobby – in this example: Solo vs. AI
Basically wonderful and not different from other genre colleagues and big titles. After all, there is the possibility of forming a meaningful hero team even with a random player composition. Previously, you had no idea (unless you were playing with friends) what character someone would join the lobby with, which could lead to rather suboptimal compositions.
However, it becomes problematic when there is a little rage monster among the supposed team members, who is further back in the pick order and cannot play his preferred character because someone else snatches it right before his nose.
No Place for Sociopaths
Theoretically, he could simply choose another hero, thereby contributing to the balance of the team, and might even get to know an interesting second or third choice far away from his main character. However, if he is so self-absorbed and/or filled with hatred that he does not make any pick at all, no game can take place.
The entire team gets kicked out of the lobby, and everyone starts searching again. Now, you are probably thinking: “Hm, yes, that’s not pretty, but what’s the problem?” The crux of the matter is that while the one who remains inactive does not pick an alternative character and thus leads to the dissolution of the group, he immediately receives a warning in the form of a message on the screen.
If one dances out of line…
However, all previous team members are subjected to a 5-minute player search ban, even though they had no influence on the behavior of a single sociopath. And if you encounter such an uncooperative moron again after this forced timeout, your downtime will directly increase to 20 minutes. With the third consecutive dissolution, it would even be 60 minutes, and so forth.
Developer Epic Games stated that they consciously chose this general penalty to avoid unfavorable or unwanted team compositions with backup players or accounts that are not penalized, preventing them from jumping into the game.
Furthermore, the goal of the Draft Lobby is to provide players with a better coordination opportunity and more space for cooperation among each other. This decision also fits into the rules for better interactions, as Epic is aware of the increasingly present toxicity of the genre, but they do not want to count such individuals, AFK players, and uncooperative self-absorbed individuals among their players.
Lone fighters should probably stay away from team-based games
A positive, helpful, and still competitively oriented community is the goal of the developers. Therefore, in the future, there will be some words from Epic regarding further actions with toxic players, those who leave during ongoing games, and other annoying individuals and behaviors.
However, one should also keep in mind that Paragon is still in early access, and therefore nothing is set in stone. Especially since Epic Games has so far had a very open ear for its players and their problems and suggestions.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, it is now certain: There will be “Moments of Triumph” for year 2.
Almost a year ago, before the “The Taken King” expansion, Bungie celebrated the first anniversary of Destiny with the “Moments of Triumph.” These were specific activities that could be completed in year 1: such as mastering the raids, eliminating Skolas, or winning a certain number of Crucible matches.
Now Bungie has confirmed that there will be “Moments of Triumph” this year as well.
“Moments of Triumph” are meant to remind of the deeds from the past year in Destiny
At E3 2016, the Creative Lead Cristopher Barrett spoke about these moments of triumph. When asked by GameSpot whether the “Rise of Iron” expansion would also reward players who have been active in Destiny for some time, he said:
We talked a little about the Moments of Triumph, and that is something we will do again.
Barrett mentioned that there will be rewards associated with this content. This will remind players of what they accomplished in the past year.
The specific rewards were not hinted at by Barrett. Last year, Guardians could receive a stylish emblem by completing all the assigned tasks.
This emblem was given to Year-1 veterans in Destiny
So far, there is no official confirmation about which tasks Guardians will have to tackle for the special year-2 rewards. Recently, a graphic appeared that is supposed to show the “Moments of Triumph” from year 2. Now that we are certain that the Triumph Moments will return, this leak seems to gain credibility. The graphic was discovered in Bungie’s API.
“The Rise of Iron” will be released on September 20 for PS4 and Xbox One.
The colorful Void trader Baro Ki’Teer is once again visiting the Tenno in Warframe. And this time, he brings something new for PC that you shouldn’t miss.
The War Within
As previously reported, the upcoming major update 19 is split into three smaller parts to allow a bit more time for bug fixes and the completion of certain things. The new Conclave game mode “Lunaro,” which was released this week for the PC version of Warframe, kicks things off. Console Tenno will have to wait until the end of June/beginning of July.
After that, it continues with “Specters of the Rail,” which not only brings the long-awaited Kavats but also a complete overhaul of the star chart. Additionally, the Void farming system for Prime parts will be completely revamped. Furthermore, the revised control of the Archwings, a new support/healer Archwing itself, and a new Archwing mode are part of “Specters of the Rail.”
The upcoming star chart 3.0 resembles the original version
Finally, the cinematic quest “The War Within” and the brand new, fairy-themed Warframe “Titania” will round off update 19.
To prepare yourself, a visit to Baro Ki’Teer might be worthwhile. PC Tenno can expect an unprecedented mod this time.
The ‘When, Where and What’ of the current offer
When can Baro be found?
From June 17, 2016, 7 PM until Sunday, June 19, 2016, 7 PM.
Where can he be found?
PC: Larunda Relay, Mercury
PS4: Strata Relay, Earth
Xbox One: Leonov Relay, Europa
What does he have?
To tease PC Tenno a bit further, here’s the offer for PS4 and Xbox One:
The two mods “Jolt” and “Shock Coil” add 60% electricity damage and 60% status to your respective weapons and combine with toxin mods to form the secondary damage “Corrosion,” which can be quite helpful against Grineer.
The Prisma Skana is an expensive toy, but it serves more as fodder for your mastery rank than for most of you to actively bathe in the blood of your enemies for an extended period.
But what does Baro have for PC players this weekend?
Brand new, fresh, first in the lineup, and definitely useful is the mod “Primed Point Blank.” This increases your melee damage by up to 165%. In comparison, the regular version of this mod only grants you 120% more power.
All that’s left to say is: Buy, buy, buy! So you can turn your enemies into a nice meat salad.
“Primed Close Range” should definitely be added as well, especially if you are either a shotgun enthusiast or the owner of the Carrier (Prime) sentinel, as its weapon also uses shotgun mods and can be made significantly deadlier with this.
Console Tenno will unfortunately have to wait an additional 6 weeks for the arrival of the Primed mods. But isn’t anticipation the greatest joy? With that in mind, a joyful buzzing around in space… and make Lotus proud.

In Overwatch there will soon be golden weapons. What the ranked game mode has to offer, we will tell you here.
Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director of Overwatch, addressed the players of Overwatch directly in a new Developer Update. He answered some pressing questions about the long-awaited “ranked game mode”. Many of the insights were not new and we have already covered those in this article. The new aspects have been summarized here for you.
Transparency – Every skill rating will be disclosed
A major concern for players was transparency. Who am I playing against? How good is the opponent? Is this a fair match? Therefore, in the ranked game mode, you will be able to view a lot of information at the start of a match, some of which Kaplan briefly mentioned:
Which players are registered as a group? Who is playing alone?
What is the skill level of my opponents and allies?
What is the average skill level of both teams in comparison?
How strong are the enemies? In Ranked Play, everything will be disclosed.
Kaplan briefly mentioned that it will not always be the case that a game only contains players of the same skill level. If you are on a team with a lower average rating, you can gain significantly more and would lose fewer points if you lose. Players should therefore be more motivated in such cases, rather than throwing in the towel right from the start.
Rewards for ranked games – Golden weapons
Those who participate in Ranked Play will also be able to unlock some rewards. In the ranked game, there will be special spray logos that can only be obtained through this mode. The real highlight, according to Kaplan, is golden weapons for the heroes – another way of customization. Skilled players will be able to unlock these weapons much faster. Some of these rewards (details have not been revealed yet) are to be reserved only for the best players so they can display their achievements visually.
In principle, however, the same applies to these rewards: purely cosmetic, no gameplay benefits.
They promise to publish more detailed information about the entire systems in the coming days, which will be released later this month.

For three years, they were in a “secret, stupid legal dispute,” says developer Sean Murray. Because the British telecommunications and pay-TV company “Sky” holds the rights to the term “Sky,” that is, the sky.
On Twitter, Murray exclaimed, “Yay! We reached an agreement with Sky, we can now call our game No Man’s Sky. 3 years of secret, stupid, legal nonsense are over.”
Yay! We finally settled with Sky (they own the word “Sky”). We can call our game No Man’s Sky. 3 years of secret stupid legal nonsense over
As Murray says, the situation was quite serious. In the same situation, Microsoft was forced to change “Skydrive” to “Overdrive.” On the other hand, Murray jokes that this situation is probably also why Skynet never happens.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , Bungie has suspended the Trials of Osiris on June 18.
At the moment, the Trials of Osiris are not active. As Bungie announced on Twitter, they have been suspended due to issues preventing players from participating in matches.
Trials of Osiris is currently disabled as we investigate issues preventing some players from joining matches.
This was announced on Twitter at 6:14 AM our time on Saturday morning. It is still the middle of the night for Bungie in Seattle. Therefore, it is not expected that further information will be available soon regarding whether and when this week’s Trials of Osiris will continue.
Daybreak Game Company is discontinuing two of its titles, including the shooter PlanetSide.
PlanetSide launched in 2003. It will come to an end on July 1, 2016, as announced by Daybreak.
The game was very important to Daybreak and held a special place in the hearts of all who worked on its successor. However, due to “evolving business reasons and technical requirements,” it is now necessary to terminate the service. Since 2014, PlanetSide has been free-to-play.
The mentioned successor Planetside 2 was released in 2012 for PC and in 2015 for PS4.
In addition to Planetside, Daybreak is also shutting down the Everquest card game “Legends of Norrath.”
