In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, another trailer has been released before the console launch. It is meant to show how things are going in Tamriel from the players’ perspective.
The Elder Scrolls Online is attempting something similar with a deliberately “diverse” group of players – all politically correct, neatly dressed, freshly showered, well-articulated, and with great teeth – the typical US look, which somewhat takes away from the authenticity of EVE, but is polished nicely.
As a four, the adventurers head into battle, three work wonderfully together… only one is not really doing what he is supposed to do. And faces the consequences for it.

At the moment, they do not want to provide any information, nor a date, for fear of disappointing players if things change later. However, they assure that they will do everything necessary to make the Open Beta of Cabal 2 something that both the developers and the fans can be satisfied with.
In real life, whaling is a terrible thing. However, in the upcoming sandbox MMORPG Revival, you can make a living from it.
One searches ancient ruins for treasures, while the other goes to sea and hunts whales. The great marine mammals hopefully aren’t endangered in the fantasy world of Theleston; otherwise, we couldn’t condone this. But let’s just assume there are constant respawns, so virtual whaling should be fine.
The Anguish of Whales
If you want to become a whaler in Revival, you will need a ship, a crew, and bodyguards, but more on that later. Since whales are very large, you will also need a very large ship – a whaling ship. With any other ship, whaling will not be possible. With your ship, you will set out to search for whales in the vast oceans. Once you find them, you hunt them and break them down to obtain valuable items such as whale oil.
You will then sell these items in the cities – but you need to hurry, as the raw materials can spoil quickly. The hunting is meant to be as realistic as possible, meaning you hunt the whales with harpoons, let them bleed out, and draw them aboard your ship alive to disassemble them there. Revival does this not to provoke, but rather to create a dark, grim, and brutal world where such aspects are presented without mercy. However, whaling serves another purpose besides gathering resources. Legends speak of the mystical connection between whales and other creatures in the ocean. Those who can make use of this connection will unveil the secrets of the sea.
Whaling is not an easy thing. Because not only does the whale fight for its life, but it may also be that other players want to make it easier for themselves and try to snatch the prey from you after you’ve done all the work. The seas are full of such pirates, who often use faster and more agile ships than a whaling ship. This is where bodyguards come into play. You hire other players as mercenaries to accompany you during whaling and protect you from pirates. In return, you give these mercenaries a share of the loot. Those who successfully hunt whales can earn a lot of money in Theleston.
In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, riding lessons are now available in the Crown Store. This allows you to train a horse or other mount faster.
10 riding lessons for 1000 Crowns – this is the price that has now been set for The Elder Scrolls Online. Depending on which package you buy, this is approximately 9 Euros. 750 Crowns cost 6.99€; 1500 Crowns 12.99€.
With one riding lesson, you can increase one of the three attributes of a horse by one point. There are no further restrictions, so it can be used as often as the player wants. Only the maximum limit that the horse can “naturally” reach cannot be exceeded even with the use of Crowns.
Feeding the horse is only possible without spending money “once a day”; now latecomers have the opportunity to get their horse to a maximum value faster. Mounts in TESO have three upgradeable attributes: speed, stamina, and carrying capacity.
Since the transition to a Buy2Play system, The Elder Scrolls Online introduces items that players can buy with real Euros through the detour of the premium currency Crowns to enjoy advantages in the game that are meant to ease their heroic lives.
MMOs are huge collections of game elements. Crafting, raids, instances, quests; battlefields, duels, arenas: Are you making use of all these opportunities? Or could you do without some of them?
Even in Destiny the first players complain when they log in on Tuesdays: “Too much to do!” What should players in the years-grown amusement parks of Final Fantasy XIV or Guild Wars 2 say? Over the years, MMOs accumulate endless features and activities. With each patch, something new is added, but rarely is something removed.
World of Warcraft, for example, regularly trims down, has fundamentally revamped the skill system, simplifying it, and also removed flying. In Destiny, efforts have been made to significantly reduce the farming of materials, ideally to eliminate it entirely, as it is perceived as annoying rather than an exciting gameplay element.
In WildStar, the 40-man raids were not received as well as hoped. Are large raids still relevant?
For many players in “full MMOs,” a sensitive topic: PvP. Some don’t use it at all, stay away from it, and wish that the time spent in “player versus player” combat could have been better invested in PvE. Others are not interested in the often obligatory crafting system or feel that the mini-games that some games provide are unnecessary.
If a lot is offered and there is something for everyone, it may not be a big problem if one or two features do not go over well. However, if too many elements of the game are affected, then it is a problem. In WildStar, for example, this quickly became a problem: Players accepted neither the 40-man raids nor the innovative ideas that were devised for PvP.
Opinions differ on achievements.
“Luxury features” are often put to the test. “Achievement” systems are sometimes looked at suspiciously, not everyone has long appreciated the “pet battles” from WoW, the upgrade systems for legendary weapons in Lord of the Rings Online feel complicated, and crafting through companions is annoying in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Or not? Would these games be better without the systems or just poorer?
What about you: Are you a jack-of-all-trades in your MMO trying to enjoy everything, getting the most for your money? Or are there features and aspects in your MMO that you wouldn’t even want to try for a truckload of cash, and you just wish they would go away? Which game elements in your MMO could you do without?

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the black market vendor Xur visits the Tower or the Reef on Friday, June 5th. What exotic weapons and armor pieces does he have on offer? And where is he located this time?
Xur continues to cause excitement in Destiny. The Guardians are eager for the delicious engrams he sells. Because from these, new exotic armor pieces can spring forth, and even well-organized Guardians lack them. Two weeks ago, he brought a helmet engram, last week a glove engram: One can be curious about what he has in store this week. Many are surely hoping for a chest armor engram.
It is now also clear that he does not sell new exotic weapons. The three golden guns that came with House of Wolves are all sold through a different means than as “random drops,” and only such so-called world drops can Xur have on offer. Two other exotic weapons that appeared in the database are still missing.
All about Xur, the vendor for strange coins in Destiny, on June 5th, 6th, and 7th.
When does Xur come and when does he leave again?
Xur arrives on Friday, June 5th, at 11:00 AM German time. He leaves again on Sunday, June 7th, at 11:00 AM.
Where is Xur? What is his location?
Xur is at the Great Gate near the Speaker.

The numbers in parentheses on the armor pieces are the values of this specific version of the exotic armor piece that Xur is currently selling. The values are in Strength, Intelligence, or Discipline. They range within fixed parameters. The rule is: the higher, the better.
What does Xur have on offer? What weapons, armors, and engrams does he sell?
As a weapon, Xur sells: the scout rifle MIDA Multi-Tool for 23 strange coins.
Armor pieces cost 13 strange coins. Titans are excited about the Helmet of the 14th Saint (111/118).
Hunters can add the gloves Ahamkara’s Spine. (108/114).
And the Warlocks receive the helmet Obsidian Mind. (Int 71/75; Str 50/53)
This week, Xur sells a chest engram. Caution: With House of Wolves, only a new exotic chest armor came, and it is for the Warlock. Titans and Hunters must hope for a leg engram… and that has never happened before.

In the MMO shooter Destiny there is a Weekly Update from the developers Bungie every week. This keeps the community informed. This time it was about cheaters in the Trials of Osiris, the aid action for Nepal, and the E3 appearance where the next expansion is likely to be briefly teased.
This week there was a mixed Weekly Update from Bungie with information on various activities. Much of it was a resolution of stories that had already been discussed in the last week.
Nepal Aid raised over a million US dollars T-shirt, emblem and shader
The CEO of Direct Relief, the aid organization for which a huge check was issued, assures that this money will directly and immediately make a difference in the crisis region, alleviating suffering.
During the action, Bungie offered a “real T-shirt” and a virtual shader as well as a virtual emblem for purchase and promised to donate 100% of the profits to the Nepal aid.
The T-shirts are being shipped. Those who ordered first will also receive them first. The emblems and shaders will come into the game this summer with an update then. Tess will sell them.
Heat Map: The redder it gets, the more frequently Guardians were on the Pantheon map in the last ToO.
They also acknowledge problems with the Elder Cipher and explain they are working on it. However, Bungie is not being forthcoming about what exactly the problem is right now. There are, however, numerous reports from Guardians discussing having received the “Elder Cipher” twice after the patch. The “Elder Cipher” initiates the quest that ultimately grants one of three exotic weapons.
E3 appearance of Destiny confirmed
Last week, on Thursday evening, the press already knew that Bungie would be working with Highmoon Studios on the future of Destiny. And this was confirmed in the Weekly Update. Now the birds are chirping on the rooftops that they will present the next expansion at E3 and they give the E3 appearance. Denying it wouldn’t bring anything anymore.
Because there have been clear indications in recent days that Bungie will be present at the E3 fair next week – once Red Bull cans and once an IGN report. It is assumed that Bungie will present the next expansion for Destiny “The Taken King” in some form there.
At least one appearance has now been officially confirmed: They have some things they want to tease. So these dreaded mini-bits that players will dissect for weeks.
We can also tease something: Xur will arrive today on June 5th at 11:00 AM in the Tower. Or in the Reef. We will welcome him and report on his offerings.

Magni retains the same warrior hero ability as Hellscream (2 armor for 2 mana), but does so in Ironforge style with a hammer animation. His quotes are also new, all recorded with new voices and there is a card back as well.
Magni will not be earned, but must be purchased. For €8.99, Magni can be purchased in the Hearthstone store, and costs €9.99 on iOS. More heroes are likely to follow. Additionally, the interface will be adjusted, with some furniture being moved to make space for everything.
When the new heroes are set to launch, Blizzard is not revealing at the moment. It is likely to happen soon.

The Prison of Elders in Destiny has different variants and bosses on levels 32 and 34: How to deal with the Servitor God Kaliks Reborn?
In the 5th wave of the Prison of Elders in the “Fallen” edition, Kaliks Reborn awaits the Guardians. He appears in both the 34 and the 32 editions. The modifier “Grounded” is active: This means that if Guardians take damage while in the air, it counts double. Therefore: Better not to jump.
The fight against Kaliks requires a bit of patience and discipline, not patience and time, that’s something else. The catch with this boss: Kaliks spawns certain adds, the Archons, at 100%, 75%, and 50%, absorbs them if they are not killed quickly enough and regenerates health this way. This means for the Guardians: In the fight against Kaliks, killing the “white Dregs” takes top priority, as soon as they appear, they must go. Unless one decides to choose another tactic.

The adds spawn at the very beginning once and then a second time when he is down to 75% health and a third time when he drops to 50% HP. At that time, a VIP also appears, which must be shot down. Otherwise, it’s over if he reaches all 4 checkpoints.
Neither at 75% nor at 50% do the Archons necessarily have to be defeated; Kaliks can heal himself, which makes the fight last a little longer, but nothing tragic happens.
At 50%, the fight enters the hot phase
At 50%, there are two options due to the spawn of the VIP. Either you focus on Kaliks and try to bring him from 50% to 0% in this time window he needs to consume the adds (Gjallarhorn helps with that) and then deal with the VIP.
Or you take care of the VIP, clear the adds, and then go back to Kaliks, who is back at 100%, but should have no more opportunities to regenerate. Because when he drops to 50% the second time, he does not call for adds again.
The really brutal method involves clearing the adds just once at the beginning and then going back to the entrance, pulling out the Gjallarhorns and a Bubble : And bringing Kaliks from 100% to 0%, but one needs appropriate gear for that:

All in all, this is a fight that happens quite stationarily. Most go directly to the left when they enter the arena and stay there relatively long. Shotguns are recommended for the attacking enemies and weapons with medium range for damage on Kaliks himself. Rocket launchers help, one particular rocket launcher especially. But that’s just the way it is in Destiny.
Tips on Qodron and Skolas can be found in the respective articles.

The last patch for Smite was a while ago, as compensation the guys and gals from HiRez have really pulled out all the stops to fill the latest expansion of the game with many skins and also introduce a new god: A bringer of gossip, Ratatoskr!
Ratatoskr, the cunning newsbearer
What at first glance looks like an oversized squirrel (or optionally a Pokemon) quickly turns out to be an interesting character. Mythologically speaking, Ratatoskr lives in the world tree Yggdrasil and delivers messages between the inhabitants of the tree – which he enriches with all sorts of nonsense to create exciting conflicts or to better present himself.
In the game, he takes on the role of an Assassin and even competes with Mercury in terms of speed.
“Dart” allows the little creature to sprint forward and deal minor damage. If he hits a god with the ability that he hasn’t hit in the last 10 seconds, the cooldown is immediately reset, which can greatly increase the distance covered.
With “Flurry of Acorns“, 12 acorns are shot in all directions, returning to Ratatoskr after a short delay. Damage is dealt both on the way out and back.
“Acorn Blast” shoots 4 acorns in a cone area forward, each dealing moderate damage.
His Ultimate “Through the Cosmos” grants him the ability to cover huge distances by “flying” over the map from branch to branch. After the 3rd jump at the latest, he must return to the ground and deals heavy damage upon impact.

Particularly noteworthy is also his passive ability “Acorn of Yggdrasil”. From the beginning of the game, Ratatoskr has a unique item in his inventory that he can upgrade for gold – and that anywhere on the map. Depending on which upgrade level you choose for “Acorn of Yggdrasil”, the god’s abilities change, so shot acorns can explode or heal. This is reminiscent in principle of talent points!
New skins: Summer fun with Aphrodite
Summer is approaching, and how better to make money than with beach skins that show a lot of bare skin? Kicking things off are Beachbabe-Aphrodite and “Hunkules” Hercules, who are throwing themselves into the bright sun just for you.
At least Aphrodite’s voice pack has also become amusing again, although I fear that her squeaky “girly” voice will bring me a few “mutes”.
The ghost hunter Zhong Kui also gets a new skin, but he seems to be heading into battle: G.I. Zhong has packed his brush and prefers to shoot with a minigun, trading the scroll for a mini-helicopter. Sobek goes from being hunted to hunter himself and will now dive with his “Crikeydile Sobek” to show people the advantages of the Nile and a good hat.
Balancing changes: No mercy for Ah Puch
It was to be expected: Ah Puch has been nerfed. His ultimate “Empty the Crypts” now lasts only 6 seconds (instead of 8) and his “Fleeting Breath” deals less damage at all levels. Since his other abilities remained untouched, his burst potential should remain largely the same. Awilix receives a significant buff to her ultimate: The duration of “Gravity Surge” has been increased to 6 seconds and makes her immune to knockups, roots, and slows.
The other changes are hardly noticeable: Freya and Osiris receive a minimal buff in their base attributes, making them a bit more resilient.
New “Summer in Smite” event
Similar to the Odyssey, certain bonuses can now be unlocked through purchases with gems. Anyone who buys different items from the “Summer in Smite” line being released over the next few weeks will unlock additional skins and chests with random rewards. The new Aphrodite skin, for example, is only available if you have already purchased 2 items; namely the Hercules skin and a new player portrait. Since more items will be presented, you can vary what you want and are not forced to buy everything – unless you really want every bonus. It remains to be seen what else will be released.
All changes in full can be read as usual in the Smite forum.
Giveaway: Ratatoskr and G.I.Zhong
We certainly didn’t hold back and thanks to HiRez we got some keys that we want to share directly with you. This time there are 3 keys for Ratatoskr along with his alternative look “Flurry” and 3 more for Zhong Kui’s new “G.I.Zhong” skin.
Let us know in the comments which of the two you want, and you will be entered into the draw! Multiple entries are of course not allowed, and the giveaway runs until June 7, 2015, at 8 PM. Good luck!

Two days ago, the “Heroes of the Storm” launch event took place in London, and as expected from Blizzard, the show organizers managed once again to present some spectacular effects.
A Tribute to the Fans
For the event, a completely new cinematic video was created. The special aspect: Some players who had previously registered on a website became part of this short film and could suddenly recognize their own photo.
But that’s only half the story: Unlike previous cinematics, this one is not in a 16:9 format but was specifically created for projection on a wall, which incorporates both the columns and the texture of the background. Additionally, there are incredible 3D effects that bring it all to life. A YouTube video has captured the show quite well – but I can hardly imagine how outstanding it must have been to be there in person. But judge for yourself:

What started with the Patch 6.0 at the launch of “World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor” is now being continued. Many players complained about the lack of darkness during the night. In some areas, one could hardly notice any difference in the lighting conditions.
[wpw_ba_viewer width=”auto” disable_intro=”false” alternate_skin=”true”]
[wpw_ba_img src=”https://images.mein-mmo.de/magazin/medien/2015/06/WoW-Darker-nights.jpg” data_alt=”https://images.mein-mmo.de/magazin/medien/2015/06/WoW-Darker-nights-2.jpg” title=”World of Warcraft at Night”]
[/wpw_ba_viewer]
The existing images look promising and should allow for a significantly better immersion in the game world. Most friends of good atmosphere and of course the role-players are looking forward to these changes. Those who want to see a direct impact of the day/night cycle in WoW should take a quick look at this video:

With the upcoming game update 3.3, there are several changes coming, especially for PvP players. Ranked Warzone rewards will be removed from the game, and much of the PvP gear is now significantly cheaper to acquire. But that is by no means all that players of Star Wars: The Old Republic can expect soon.
Armor set costs reduced
To enable new players or alternate characters to enter the PvP scene more quickly, the costs for the beginner set will be reduced by nearly 30%, now amounting to just under 4100 tokens. The costs for ranked PvP gear will also be significantly reduced. Where players previously needed about 29,000 ranked tokens, now only around 16,500 common Warzone rewards are required.
Abolition of ranked Warzone rewards
Currently, the developers are dissatisfied with the ranked PvP system, as once players reach a certain rating, they no longer queue for matches. Especially at the end of a season, this often results in very few matches occurring. For this reason, new incentives are wanted to remain active throughout the season, which will be implemented in the form of new tokens: rewards for the various tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold) can be purchased with these new tokens.
Each completed match grants a small number of tokens, but at the end of the season, a large amount, depending on the position achieved, is given. Players who have reached “Bronze” can surely purchase all “Bronze” rewards and then, if they were diligent, maybe even one or two items from the “Silver” or “Gold” categories.
PvP tokens now legacy-bound
If you don’t feel like equipping a new character with low-quality PvP gear, you can soon do this much more conveniently: For 99 PvP tokens, you can purchase a box containing exactly those 99 tokens. The catch: The container is legacy-bound. This allows veterans to better equip their small twinks, or conversely, the small characters to support the big main.
Developers maintain contact
Lastly, a very positive news: The developers of SWTOR will continue to maintain contact with players despite recent incidents, inform about changes in class design, and participate in discussions. They do not want to punish everyone just because there are a few bad apples responsible for the recent incidents. By the way, a new Warzone is in the works, but it will not be debuting with patch 3.3.

The launch of the MOBA Battleborn by Gearbox, the creators of the Borderlands franchise, is coming soon. It is set to be released in winter. This likely means the release will be in Q4 2015 or Q1 2016.
Battleborn will be a hybrid game that lies somewhere between MOBA and shooter, with an “intergalactic cast” of Bad-Asses, it is announced. The personnel was gathered under the following motto: “If you are cool and badass enough, we will make you a hero in our game.” Currently, there are expected to be about 25 of them.
Variety is ensured: Battleborn will launch with a solo mode and three multiplayer modes. Gearbox will also enable a split-screen, likely exclusively for the story mode.
The three multiplayer modes of Battleborn
The size of a multiplayer match can go up to a 5 vs. 5 player format.
The three modes are called:
Incursion – Here, teams will defend their bases against AI minions and then aim to destroy the opponent’s stronghold.
Devastation – a team deathmatch that requires fulfilling specific objectives.
Meltdown – here players must protect their minions as they “march to their doom in the middle of the map.”
Battleborn will – similar to Heroes of the Storm – provide an experience and level system outside of the actual fights for the heroes and the commander, meaning the player themselves. The heroes will rank from level 1 to 10, and level-ups will unlock alternative skills or abilities. As the player themselves levels up, they will receive badges, loot, and other profile pictures.
Battleborn is set to release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. At E3 in Los Angeles, Gearbox plans to announce more information about Battleborn.

The voxel MMO Trove by Trion Worlds will be released in a month. But that is only the beginning.
Version 1.0 is within reach, in the past we would have called it “Gold,” but that has become obsolete in a digital free-to-play game. “Why now?” asks Game Director Krausnick and answers immediately: “It’s simply time. We are ready.”
On July 9, the “Builder Game” is set to be released on Steam for Windows and Mac PCs. The quirky genre mix resembles “Lego meets quite colorful Minecraft with MMO elements.” Trove will include 9 classes at launch, the interface will be revised, and with 1.0, they will also go on a serious bug hunt.
As an example of the somewhat quirky humor of Trove – here is the “Candy Barbarian,” who sounds quite a bit like Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian:
http://youtu.be/gFCXWqTv_i8
So on July 9, it will finally be time and Trove will officially be released. But that will just be another milestone on the journey, as they assure: The adventure is just beginning.
The SF-MMO Star Trek Online lets you relax on the vacation planet Risa during the summer. This year, casual outfits, power boards, pets, and a Ferengi warship are waiting for the players.
It was always one of the highlights of the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation when the otherwise stiff Captain Picard was forced by his crew to slip out of his uniform and relax for a few days. In Star Trek Online, it is also part of every captain’s annual rhythm. Workaholic or not: It’s off to Risa.
The summer event, the Lohulnat Festival, takes place there in 2015. In MMO terms, this is an event where players can participate and earn rewards. The “grand prize” is a Ferengi Nandi warship. “Smaller” rewards include casual outfits, power boards, or Risan pets.
The survival dino MMO “Ark: Survival Evolved” is in Early Access on Steam. We have 20 minutes of gameplay in German for you.
Ark Survival is a pleasant change of pace in the MMO world. You already knew about the similar H1Z1 for months, knowing every step of development before it entered Early Access. With “Ark Survival”, it was different: Only shortly before Early Access on Steam was a trailer seen, then the gates opened and now players find themselves in the strange world wondering: “Can I box the dino?”
So far, the game certainly makes a solid impression. Especially the graphics are convincing, even if there are still technical problems with performance. But it is once again an experience to find your way and have no idea what is actually going on.
Our friends from ProNDC have plunged into the adventure. Although one can already say: You will not walk in the footsteps of Fred Flintstone, but rather step into the skin of a “Survivor”.

This time, it’s all about the mysterious Overwatch and the Reaper, who caused chaos and destruction in the intro trailer with his dual shotguns. It is hardly surprising that his real playstyle is very similar.
Hunting the Overwatch Agents
Story-wise, the Reaper is a ruthless terrorist who has dedicated himself to the annihilation of all former Overwatch agents in the recent past. He uses Inferno shotguns as his weaponry, which can fire up to 8 shots before needing to be reloaded – definitely weapons for close range.
To get close to his enemies, the Reaper can use the ability “Phantom“, which briefly makes him an invulnerable shadow, although he cannot attack or use abilities during this time. This is perfect for escaping or bridging the distance to the opponent unharmed.
Also quite insidious is the “Shadow Step“: Over the course of about 4 seconds, the Reaper teleports to his target – if used skillfully, one can likely carry out many sneaky assassinations on healers.
His ultimate ability, the “Death Dance“, allows him to dismantle entire groups of opponents with ease; for a few seconds, he bombards everything around him with seemingly endless shots from his guns.
Why he and his dual Inferno shotguns should be feared is impressively demonstrated in the latest gameplay video, enjoy!

With the official release of “Heroes of the Storm“, the first cross-game rewards are now available. Those who have played a lot of World of Warcraft can look forward to a little extra in the Moba and vice versa. What does that mean in individual cases?
A small grave golem and a wolf mount
If you have at least one WoW character at level 100 on your Battle.net account, you will now receive the “Ironclad Wolf” as a mount in HotS for all characters that can use such a mount.
On the other hand, you can also benefit: If you reach player level 20 in HotS, the small grave golem “Graves” will be available as a battle pet in WoW. Additionally, HearthStone players benefit from small extras: Once level 12 is reached in HotS, the HearthStone account receives a new card back (see title image). In the near future, there is expected to be another mount in HotS for 100 wins in HearthStone – but a patch will be needed for that.

Yesterday, Bethesda Softworks announced a new game from the Fallout series. However, it is not Fallout Online.
Interplay wanted to develop an MMORPG based on Fallout some time ago, but Bethesda Softworks thwarted those plans. Many fans hoped that the reason was that Bethesda itself wanted to release a Fallout Online. It was revealed yesterday what the developer studio is working on: It is Fallout 4. A new single-player installment in the series.
No MMORPG in the Apocalypse
It was actually to be expected. With another MMORPG, Bethesda would only be competing with itself against The Elder Scrolls Online and splitting the player base. Therefore, only a single-player RPG made sense. A new The Elder Scrolls game was also rather unlikely, as this series is currently focused on TESO. Nevertheless, a Fallout Online would have had potential. An MMORPG with an apocalyptic scenario would be something different from the fantasy mainstream. And the background of Fallout is not just standard post-apocalypse. The black humor and the setting based on 1950s futurism is quite special.
Anyone who has played Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas often wished to explore the ruined cities and radioactively contaminated deserts with some friends. Whether Fallout 4 will have a multiplayer mode is currently still unknown. It would definitely be an interesting feature. It doesn’t have to take on MMO proportions, but could be limited to cooperative adventures in small groups. On June 15th at 4 AM CEST, Bethesda plans to reveal more about Fallout 4. Perhaps they will surprise us with a multiplayer mode.
https://youtu.be/3qon78G3tog
If you are now disappointed and wish to play a post-apocalyptic MMORPG, you will have to turn to games like Xyson or Fallen Earth, or wait for the online game Crossout by Gaijin Entertainment, which, however, is more in line with World of Tanks.
