Sauercrowd still has a raid ahead, but one streamer is leaving already: “It was a great time”

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

The Sauercrowd has already achieved its actual goal in WoW Classic, but there is still to be a final raid. A Twitch streamer is already saying goodbye to the guild.

Who is this streamer? Lars alias “Pummelfee86” comes from Bremen and has been streaming on Twitch since April 2021. When three Twitch streamers Metashi12, HandOfBlood, and Papaplatte launched the Sauercrowd event in WoW Classic in December 2025, he was one of the first to come on board.

Streamer leaves Sauercrowd, but the guild continues

Now Pummelfee86 is leaving the event: In a short clip that captures the moment (you can see this on sauercrowd.gg), you can see how the streamer says goodbye live on camera – even while his character is being attacked and is about to die.

“Now we’ve done it,” says the streamer and thanks everyone for the event: “So I’m out as far as Sauercrowd is concerned.” He thanks especially the two streamers HandOfBlood and Exsl95 (pronounced “Axel95”), who brought him into the event.

It was definitely a great time, it was fun, met cool people. But for me, the project is now over.

Pummelfee86 on Twitch.tv

Pummelfee86 was one of the players who had to endure the most setbacks in WoW Classic Hardcore: He had to start over 14 times before he finally reached level 60. So he can conclude the event with success.

What’s next for Sauercrowd? Actually, the project is already over, as the goal that was set at the beginning has been achieved. The goal was to master the raid “Molten Core” – and that has been achieved.

However, the event is not completely over yet, explains HandOfBlood. On March 1, 2026, Sauercrowd will start a final raid, namely the level 60 raid “Onyxia’s Lair”. In it, participants will first fight through the home of the black dragon before confronting him directly in the end.

New World dies in a few months, announces updates after all

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 3 minutes

The story of New World is a rollercoaster. After the developers announced that the game would die, there are now surprisingly new updates for players.

When will New World die? On January 15, 2026, the developer of New World announced, that the MMORPG from Amazon will go offline on January 31, 2027. But that did not stop some players from spending more time in Aeternum.

According to steamdb.info, New World still has around 1,000 players daily (as of February 27, 2026, at 10:40 AM). The player numbers on consoles (PS5 and Xbox) are not known, however. Now, the developers want to release a series of updates aimed at improving the grind for players.

What are these updates? After the unfinished daggers came as weapons into the game, there was a quiet period for the MMORPG. On the official Discord server, the developers announced 3 major updates (via mmorpg.com).

These will be released in March, April, and May 2026. Each of these updates is intended to bring improvements for the remaining players, so they can enjoy their last days in Aeternum.

In October 2025, New World experienced a significant upswing with the Nighthaven update. MeinMMO expert Karsten Scholz analyzed the brief success:

Start video
MeinMMO at GameStar News: Our MMORPG expert analyzes the current success of New World

Finally, broken Steam achievements are being distributed

What does the update in March bring? With the first part of the updates in March, the developers want to fix a bug that prevented some players from receiving achievements on Steam.

Additionally, all transmogrification equipment will be unlocked, and players can now own up to 30 equipment sets. The catch is that 27 of these sets still need to be purchased with real money.

Furthermore, the transfer to other regions will be implemented. Until now, the token for server transfer cost around 15 US dollars. Whether the new transfer is now free is not known.

Many improvements in April for New World

What does the update in April bring? The second update increases some limits of game systems so that the remaining players can grind even more. For example, the gold limit for casual traders will be increased from 500,000 to a whopping 10 million.

Besides the maximum gold, the progress for better gear will also be made easier. With Umbral, armor values can be improved, which will also receive a higher limit starting in April. Similarly, the maximum Gypsum will be increased, with which additional equipment chests can be obtained.

Players see hardly any reason to grind: Most players enjoy grinding MMORPGs when they know that their progress will remain in the vast online world. In a dying MMORPG like New World, many see no reason to continue playing:

About half of you told us, that you have already stopped playing New World or want to stop.

The update in May is not supposed to be the last one

What does the update in May bring? The last announced update is supposed to increase another limit. The mutations dungeons are among the most challenging content in New World. However, players only had a limited number per week to obtain loot, such as the Umbrals. This limit will be increased to 100 dungeons per week in May.

There is also news for solo players. The Soul Trials, a solo PVE instance, can finally be challenged every 6 hours. There, you defeat various bosses to earn legendary loot.

Why is this not supposed to be the last update? The developers added to the message on Discord that they want to continue responding to player feedback. This is intended to further enhance the last months of New World.

All these updates are nice, but they could have perhaps contributed to attracting more active players if they were implemented earlier. MeinMMO author Nico is also saddened by every news regarding the death of New World, as it was one of the best MMORPGs for him, despite some flaws: Amazon’s first MMORPG for Steam is considered a disappointment, but one thing was perfect

Twitch streamers take on special Pokémon challenge, locking themselves in an apartment for over 50 hours

Johanna Johanna Reading time 3 minutes

For three days, the four Twitch streamers Varion, Chefstrobel, Zarbex, and Trymacs locked themselves in an apartment to play Pokémon Heart Gold together. During the LAN, they played against each other in teams of two.

What kind of challenge is this? From Tuesday, February 24, to Thursday, February 26, Trymacs, Chefstrobel, Varion, and Zarbex spent time together in an apartment where they held a Pokémon LAN. In teams of two, Varion and Chefstrobel against Trymacs and Zarbex, they played a Soullink in Pokémon Heart Gold against each other.

A Soullink is a special challenge of the Pokémon community that follows certain rules, including:

  • On each route or in each city, only the Pokémon encountered first may be caught and added to the team.
  • Defeated Pokémon are considered deceased and may no longer be used.
  • The Pokémon of the two team partners are linked. For example, if Chefstrobel’s Pokémon dies, the linked Pokémon of Varion also dies.
  • If one loses all 6 Pokémon in battle and consequently faints in the game, the challenge must be restarted for that team.
  • The goal is to progress further in the game than the opposing team.

Good luck, but also a lot of skill

How did the LAN go? In total, the four Twitch streamers played Pokémon Heart Gold for over 50 hours (Source: SullyGnome.com).

Chefstrobel and Varion had to restart their run relatively early when Chefstrobel fell to a trainer who sent Metang and Meowth into battle. However, the restart didn’t set them back too far, and they still had a neck-and-neck race with Zarbex and Trymacs.

Overall, Trymacs and Zarbex had simply more luck with the Pokémon they were able to secure for their team. For example, Trymacs got the Pokémon god itself, Arceus, for his team. At the same time, the Zarbex-Trymacs team also recorded more Pokémon deaths: Trymacs ultimately had 4 on his conscience and Zarbex even 11.

Varion and Chefstrobel played more cautiously, probably because they had less luck with their team. However, the opposing trainers were somewhat kinder with their Pokémon, so Varion and Chefstrobel had a slightly easier game. Nevertheless, the Varion-Chefstrobel team recorded a total of 11 deaths: 5 for Chefstrobel and 6 for Varion.

How did the LAN end? In the end, Trymacs and Zarbex came out on top. They managed to progress further than Varion and Chefstrobel, but only by a narrow margin.

Varion’s luck completely ran out against the first member of the Elite Four when a Giratina appeared as the first Pokémon, causing Varion to lose a Pokémon. The subsequent Pokémon were not any easier, which is why Varion and Chefstrobel failed against the first member of the Elite Four.

Zarbex and Trymacs managed the first battle, which crowned them the winners of the challenge. Both teams tried to progress as far as possible for fun, but ultimately fell to a member of the Elite Four.

Towards the end, Chefstrobel and Trymacs got into an argument. Trymacs accused Chefstrobel of cheating.

While the Twitch streamers are in important battles, such as against gym leaders or rivals, there is a rule to switch their own chat to emote-only. This way, viewers can no longer give tips, but can only send emotes in the chat.

Although Chefstrobel adhered to this rule, he had Trymacs’ chat open on his second screen. Trymacs noticed this and yelled at Chefstrobel, who responded.

Chefstrobel urged Trymacs to realize that he was currently yelling at him in front of several tens of thousands of viewers and what consequences this could have. In previous streams, Trymacs’ accusations had led to Chefstrobel receiving private messages on Instagram from people repeating Trymacs’ allegations.

Already in 2023, Trymacs had repeatedly mocked Chefstrobel, which led to a general hate wave against Chefstrobel.

Now that this Pokémon LAN or Pokémon Soullink is over, Trymacs and Chefstrobel can perhaps try again with the Trio Soullink they have going with Rumathra. A Pokémon LAN was also held in the past for this challenge: 3 Twitch streamers lock themselves in for days for a Pokémon challenge, failing after a total of 95 hours

An expert reveals what the biggest risk to your job is in the AI age

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Bill Gurley has been active in Silicon Valley for nearly 3 decades. In an interview, he explains what the biggest risk for a job is and why knowledge with AI can be a real “superpower.”

Who is speaking? Bill Gurley is an American venture capitalist and is considered an influential figure in Silicon Valley for nearly three decades.

In an interview with TechCrunch magazine regarding his new book “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” he talked about current jobs and especially the impact of artificial intelligence.

And according to him, AI is not the biggest risk for a job, but rather going “safe” and avoiding risks.

Select a MMO video…

Secure jobs could disappear, knowledge with AI as the new “superpower”

Bill Gurley argues that classic “secure” career paths lose stability in the age of AI because roles change or disappear rapidly due to AI. The traditional paths will become generally less interesting for employers:

If you follow the traditional path – contacting your university’s career center, signing up on a list, and waiting for a recruiter to screen 30 people in 20-minute slots – you look like a cog in the machine. You appear like a mass product. For this group, AI seems frightening, and perhaps it should be.

Gurley explains that instead, one should also take certain risks: One should take responsibility and deliberately place themselves in an environment with a high learning curve and uncertainty. Because the pure feeling of security that you currently have a comfortable and secure job can quickly become a problem: Because those could be exactly the jobs that might disappear long-term due to AI or restructuring.

The CEO of Walmart already advised graduates to take responsibility and be present in their jobs. This aligns with the recommendation Gurley makes in his interview.

Another recommendation from Gurley is that one should not be afraid of AI, but take it seriously. Because those who invest time and education in artificial intelligence now will have a significant advantage in the later professional world, which he himself refers to as a “superpower”:

Never before in history has learning been as easy as it is today. If you’re aiming to become the most AI-aware person in your field, this thing is nothing short of a superpower.

The job interests among young people are also changing. In the past, everyone wanted to work at Google, Amazon, and the like. But many young people now prefer crisis-proof jobs and shy away from computer science. This is a significant problem for large tech companies as the workforce is getting older: Generation Z no longer wants to become programmers and many are opting for other careers: This is a problem for Amazon, Apple, and Google.

20 years after the last episode on RTL2, Inuyasha is finally streaming, even with the finale that wasn’t shown back then

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Inuyasha is one of the most well-known animes that aired during midday on RTL2. Unfortunately, viewers never got to see the grand finale back then, but now fans can catch up on a streaming service.

Where can you currently watch Inuyasha? Anyone who wants to catch up on all the episodes of Inuyasha can currently do so on Crunchyroll. The streaming service has added all episodes of the anime to its library. 

In total, there are 193 episodes available. The great thing about it is that the episodes are available both with Japanese audio and German subtitles, but also completely in German dubbing.

However, to watch the episodes, you will need a subscription to Crunchyroll. Then you can enjoy the series completely ad-free.

Inuyasha: Trailer for the Anime with the Dog Half-Demon

Inuyasha was remastered 15 years later

What happened with the finale? The anime was actually canceled after 104 episodes on RTL2. So, only a little more than half of all 193 episodes were shown. Possibly the broadcaster only secured the rights for the first episodes. Consequently, fans who only watched the anime on RTL2 never knew how the anime ended.

It wasn’t until 15 years after the premiere of Inuyasha that Kazé had the remaining episodes dubbed into German (as stated on MoviePilot). Additionally, the new episodes were then shown on the free-to-air channel ProSieben MAXX. Only then could fans watch the rest of the anime.

With the addition on Crunchyroll, fans are no longer bound to a specific time and can catch up on the entire series as well as the finale at any time.

What is Inuyasha about? The student Kagome Higurashi lives in modern Tokyo. One day, she is pulled into the sealed well at her home and lands in medieval Japan. Here she learns that she is the reincarnation of the powerful priestess Kikyo. 

Shortly after her arrival, she is attacked and must free the half-demon Inuyasha to save herself. He had been sealed to a tree by Kikyo with an arrow 50 years prior.

Together they set off to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel. With them, they can put an end to the demons that terrorize the people.

Inuyasha was one of the more popular animes on RTL2. However, there were also series that flew under the radar for many fans. To see if you really know them all, you can check in the following article on MeinMMO: 5 Animes on RTL2 that you only know if you really watched everything back then

The head of Path of Exile cannot simply release Warlocks like in Diablo 2, relies on a good alternative

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

At a press event for Path of Exile: Mirage, the head of the game discussed the competition from Diablo and explained why fans should not expect a new class anytime soon.

Who is it about? At a press appointment for the new season of Path of Exile, Mirage, PoE head Mark Roberts and lead developer “Octavian” answered questions about their ARPG.

After Diablo 2 got a new class after 25 years, we wanted to know when it would be time for Path of Exile again.

Here you can see the trailer for Path of Exile: Mirage:

Outdated systems block a new class

What did the developers respond? The developers of Path of Exile played with open cards and explained that it is currently not technically possible to bring a new class into the game. The game’s “Character Skinning” system is very outdated, which currently poses problems for the developers when transferring the skins to Path of Exile 2.

A new class in the game would turn everything on its head. The developers are currently working to resolve this blockage by improving systems, thanks to Path of Exile 2, but they are still not able to simply bring a new class into the ARPG.

So no new class in Path of Exile? However, the developers clearly added that there are “constantly new classes” in Path of Exile. The starting classes are now almost just different starting points on the skill tree, as players choose abilities and builds themselves anyway.

They emphasized that they want to add new expansion classes in the future that would feel like a new class to them. Additionally, there will constantly be new updates with new skills. This time, it is a build that focuses on Holy Energy and Hammers. This is already essentially a completely new class due to the changes, even if it is not selected at launch.

Nonetheless, the developers respond with the motto: Never say never. So it is very possible that a new class in Path of Exile might await us in a few years, although it will take some time until then.

Thanks to a new feature in Pokémon GO, you can now find raids more easily

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon GO has released a new feature that you won’t find in the game itself. This should help you find some in-game content more easily.

If you are traveling in Pokémon GO and keep going through the same area, you should eventually know quite well where to find gyms. In less familiar areas, that might look different.

Exactly for this point, and to find other content in the game more easily, there is now a new external feature released by Pokémon GO. This can be a great help.

Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season Memories in Motion in the trailer

Finally a real map

What is this feature? On the official game website, you will now find a new tab: the map of pokemongo.com. Here you can select a location and view some content that is happening near you.

These include the following content:

  • Raids
  • Super Mega Raids
  • Events and Meetups
  • Gyms

You can now check where gyms are located before you start a round in the game, where you can place your monsters to earn coins, or where raids are taking place.

This can be very helpful in finding a route with interesting strong content even before you start.

The ability to see events and meetups should also be of interest to some players. If you previously didn’t know whether and where meetups are in your area, you can now use the new map and check where they are located.

How do I use the map? After you have opened the map, click on “Location on the map” in the upper area of the map. Here you can enter your location.

Normally, all content that can be displayed on the map will be shown to you. If you only want to see which raids are in the area, click the corresponding activity at the top of the map.

You can currently only display all activities or a specific one. If you show raids, you will see a small X next to the “Raids” point. If you want to remove this filter, click on this X.

This will show you all activities on the map again.

If you click on a raid, you can also see when the raid ends. If you click on the 3 dots in the event display, you can share the raid or the other corresponding activity and get direct directions to it. For this, you will be redirected to Google Maps, and the coordinates will be entered here directly.

Sony is likely to change its release strategy drastically, planning to bring only a few titles for PC

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Those who do not own a PS5 at least have a chance that Sony will port its games to PC as well. But that is set to change in the future, if we are to believe the words of several insiders.

How will the strategy change? The well-known industry insider Jason Schreier mentioned in the Triple Click Podcast that Sony may drift away from its previous release policy. Some Sony games may no longer be ported to PC.

In the past, titles like the PS4 game God of War or The Last of Us were also released for PC at a later date. According to Schreier, this may no longer apply to upcoming titles like Marvel’s Wolverine or future sequels to God of War.

Which games are affected? This news only concerns titles that are intended as single-player experiences. Other live-service games like Helldivers 2 will continue to be released for PC. The success of such titles is much more dependent on the number of players. 

Without a large player base, it can happen that such titles are discontinued. A good example of a game that was recently discontinued, is King of Meat.

God of War: Ragnarök – Ein Meisterwerk für PS4 und PS5 erscheint endlich auf Steam

Sony pulls back its PC ports, said to have little impact

Why are they doing this? As Schreier further reports, the withdrawal from PC ports would not harm Sony. The titles have not been as successful on PC as they were on PS5. Additionally, Sony does not release its AAA titles on PC simultaneously from day one. Therefore, there may be little consequence if Sony no longer releases games on PC.

How likely is this? Jason Schreier is well-connected in the gaming industry and has built a fundamental trust over several years regarding news behind the scenes of development studios and publishers.

Moreover, several insiders who also enjoy a good reputation support his statement.

  • The prominent leaker SneakersSO writes that Schreier is not wrong (read on X).
  •  NateTheHate adds that Sony is definitely changing its PC strategy (read on X).

The 5 Most Dangerous Creatures from Game of Thrones in the Power Ranking

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 4 minutes

In Game of Thrones there are numerous powerful creatures. But which ones are actually the strongest? We have looked at the top 5 in the ranking.

What was the ranking based on? In the world of Game of Thrones, there is not only magic but also legendary creatures that are often considered myths even in Westeros.

As viewers, however, we know that at least some of these beings are not mere figments of imagination. In the ranking, we will only examine those creatures whose existence is surely confirmed.

Other myths and legends, such as mermaids or sphinxes, will be left aside for now.

Place 5: Shadow Wolves

Hardly any creature in Game of Thrones is probably as iconic as the shadow wolf. It is closely associated with House Stark and serves the family as their sigil. At the beginning of the series, the Stark children received their own shadow wolves, which later grew into powerful allies.

Visually, the creatures resemble an ordinary wolf. However, they are much larger, about the size of a small horse when fully grown. Their strength is also impressive. They can easily tear apart a human if they set their mind to it.

Although it is not quite clear how much magic is within the shadow wolves, they seem to have a kind of telepathic connection to their masters. In any case, they are deeply loyal and protect their humans until death.

RAM is priceless, but a user seems to be lucky, instead of a stick, he receives a whole box of memory

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

RAM has been getting more expensive for months, but one user seems to be lucky: He ordered a stick of RAM and instead received a whole box. However, so far there is a lack of crucial evidence to actually substantiate his purchase.

Prices for RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards have risen sharply since September 2025. Even RAM from China, which was considered a hidden gem, now costs as much as RAM in Europe. Even buying 18-year-old hardware can only somewhat reduce costs.

Thus, the experience of one user seems like a great stroke of luck: For $300, he ordered RAM but instead received a whole box.

A user buys RAM, but instead receives a whole box.

What did the user do? The user reports on Reddit that he ordered RAM for $300. That is a price we also encounter in Germany for DDR5 memory.

However, instead of a single package of RAM, the user allegedly received a whole box of RAM. He shows the picture in his post on Reddit:

What supports this? In the comments, several people explain that something similar has happened to them or that they work in a warehouse where such things simply happen. Too much delivered goods is therefore not unusual at first, and such quantities do occasionally occur when looking at reports and experiences.

We have also reported on such incidents more frequently. In one case, a user received a box with 50 RAM modules from Amazon, but contacted the seller. In the end, Amazon rewarded the honesty of the buyer.

What speaks against it? So far, tangible information confirming the user’s luck is missing: There is no invoice, order history, or anything similar. Some users accuse the person of karma farming as long as he cannot present solid evidence. The user has not yet responded to the demands, but the post is also only one day old as of the current date (27.02.26).

Another point currently against the post: Corsair is selling its Vengeance memory in new packaging due to scammers and this packaging is transparent and no longer consists of yellow boxes. This has been the case since January 2026.

We will keep you updated on whether the user presents solid evidence of his purchase and will then update our article.

New MMORPG sends you into a dark sci-fi world, shows first gameplay reminiscent of Final Fantasy

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

A new MMORPG presents its dark sci-fi setting in the reveal trailer and already gives a first glimpse of the gameplay. This is reminiscent of the newer Final Fantasy games.

Which game is being discussed? It currently carries the name Project DNA and was first announced on February 24, 2026, with a gameplay reveal trailer. The game, which is said to be an “AAA action MMORPG,” is being developed by the Korean studio Supervoid using Unreal Engine 5.

There is currently no release window for the game. However, the reveal trailer already showcases the dark sci-fi setting and gives a first insight into the gameplay:

Here you can see the reveal trailer for Project DNA:

Start video
The first gameplay trailer for Project DNA shows the dark sci-fi setting of the MMORPG

Action MMORPG in a Dark Science Fiction World

What is the game about? Project DNA takes place in the year 2046: The sudden impact of an asteroid forced humanity underground. While the surface lay in ruins, society made great strides in biotechnology within the bunkers.

The technological advancement has produced humans with supernatural powers and even allows them to transfer memories from one body to another. Humanity has thus discovered the path to immortality, even if bodies become mere shells.

Project DNA draws heavily on classic themes of the cyberpunk genre: What makes a human? Is immortality a blessing or a curse? Even the first seconds of the trailer strongly remind one of the Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell, which already dealt with such questions in 1989.

What do we know about the gameplay? A large part of the trailer consists of actual gameplay, the developers emphasize. Thus, quite a bit can already be inferred. Besides the environments with their dark, industrial style and the desolate surface of the Earth, there are also some battles to be seen.

The combat system in Project DNA is said to be action-based. You do not just attack enemies blindly, but must dodge attacks at the right moment. You can either engage in melee combat – such as with a flaming sword – or hurl fireballs and lightning at enemies. The effects are reminiscent of Final Fantasy, at least the newer titles with real-time combat.

On the developers’ official website (www.supervoid.co.kr), 6 characters are already introduced. It seems as though you will play a pre-made character – there doesn’t seem to be a character editor. Furthermore, the developers tease an “Evolution System” that is supposed to allow characters to “grow and adapt in unique ways.” However, the developers have not yet revealed what exactly this entails.

WoW Midnight has launched! – The Early Access is running from now on

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The latest expansion of World of Warcraft is live – at least for those who paid €90. The adventures of Midnight await.

Right at 00:00 on February 27th, precisely at midnight, the launch of the Midnight expansion began – at least for a portion of the player base. Because for four days, there is early access, allowing purchasers of the premium Midnight version to dive in right now.

How can one participate in early access? If you want to take part in the early access for Midnight, you need to purchase the “Epic Edition” of Midnight. This costs a hefty €90, but comes with some additional goodies. We have highlighted all the advantages and disadvantages of the various versions here.

Select a MMO video…

When is the official launch? The official launch of Midnight is exactly four days later, on March 3, 2026, at 00:00. Then everyone else can also start and explore Quel’thalas and the other new areas.

Much is playable, but there are no major advantages

Which content can be played already? During the early access, a number of features are already available. These include:

  • The 4 new areas with almost all quests.
  • Professions and related resources.
  • Dungeons on low difficulties.
  • Depths on low difficulties.
  • The new loot system at the lowest level.
  • The new talent points.

Which content will come later? As usual, not all content is available right at the early access launch. To prevent any significant gameplay advantage, much content will be available only with a slight delay:

  • The Haranir, the new race, are not yet available, but will be at launch.
  • Mythical dungeons will be accessible only after the official launch.
  • Large weekly quests will also be available after the first reset.

Most endgame features, such as “Mythic+” or the new raid, will start with a significant delay, on March 18, 2026. Then the first season of Midnight begins – of course with a “World First” race and plenty of challenging dungeons that need to be learned again.

Path of Exile completely changes its endgame, removes annoying features and grind factor

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile have introduced their new league “Mirage”. This especially changes the endgame massively.

What have the developers changed? With the upcoming update 3.28, the developers of Path of Exile have made some changes to the endgame. The update goes live parallel to the new season “Mirage” on March 6, 2026.

The endgame changes mainly affect the Atlas tree, which connects the various maps as an overview map. In the new Atlas tree, modifiers can affect different maps, similar to what occurs in Path of Exile 2.

With the update, players will no longer find specific maps. Instead, enemies will drop a map with a certain level, for example, map level 11. In the Atlas tree, this unspecific map can then be assigned to a location. This way, players now have the choice of where they want to fight.

This also has the effect that players can complete the Atlas tree faster. Less grinding is needed to find the missing maps. Instead, one simply selects what is missing.

Furthermore, the developers have removed some of the most annoying modifiers from the maps. No one will turn into a frog anymore just to annoy you. But the new update offers even more.

Here you can see the trailer for Path of Exile: Mirage:

Start video
Path of Exile shows new league “Mirage” in trailer – brings changes for the endgame

New class changes every season

What kind of new class is this? The developers of Path of Exile have announced a new expansion class for the Scion. The Reliquarist is something very special. He chooses from a new set of bonuses each season, all of which come from unique items.

In this season, there can be a bonus of 40% to fire resistance, while next season the movement speed will be increased by 10% in the same place. The developers have confirmed to MeinMMO that one developer thinks each season about which builds can be created from the various bonuses, aiming to create a new interesting class every season.

New season mechanic

What does the new season bring as a mechanic? New is the Mirage world in Path of Exile. On the normal maps, there are portals that take you to a kind of mirror world. Everything there is almost like in the real world, but there are extra bonuses and slightly changed modifiers.

In the mirror worlds, you can complete several in a row to bag even better rewards and new items, with which the items in the game can be strongly changed again.

Here the developers also give a tip. It is possible to enhance strongboxes and other items in the “real world” before going into the Mirage world to buff them even more there. Here the developers see a high “Juice” potential.

Developers of dark action game chose a giant rooster as a character because everyone wanted to play this rooster

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

In the action role-playing game Project Windless, you take on the role of a gigantic, sword-swinging rooster. This unusual decision was made primarily because literally every playtester wanted to play this character.

What kind of game is this? Project Windless is an open-world action RPG based on the popular Korean novel series “The Legend of the Tear-Drinking Bird” (English: “The Bird That Drinks Tears”) by Lee Youngdo. The high-fantasy world is deeply rooted in Korean mythology and folklore.

As a so-called Rekon warrior, you dive into a mythical age and explore the kingdom of Arajit, founded by your species. And this said warrior is… a massive rooster.

You can watch the latest reveal trailer for Project Windless here:

Start video
In the official reveal trailer for Project Windless on PS5, you slay through hordes of enemies as a muscle chicken

“One thing is certain: I want to play this character”

What’s with the rooster? During the “State of Play” in February 2026, Krafton first showcased Windless. The most striking feature was the protagonist, as it is essentially a human rooster slashing through hordes of enemies with swords.

Patrik Méthé, head of Krafton Montreal, revealed in an interview with PC Gamer that the studio was hoping for such surprised reactions. It was planned that the hero would cause a stir. However, the fact that people wanted to play exactly that as their character surprised Méthé nonetheless.

In fact, literally everyone who was interviewed for a job on the game desperately wanted to play this rooster. Méthé recalls the candidates:

When the candidates left, they said: ‘I hope to hear from you, but one thing is certain: I want to be able to play this character.’ All of them. Really all – and we said to ourselves: ‘Okay.’

In this context, the developer emphasizes that the protagonist is not a “guy in a costume,” but an independent being with specific attributes and abilities that a human would not possess.

The Rekon serves as the legendary hero king in Windless. Krafton considered the hero king the right choice because he is a mythical character. Remember him, but no one from that time is alive anymore. His story takes place in a 1,000-year gap before the novels, which gives the developers some flexibility. They did not want to copy the book too rigidly to avoid restricting the fun of the game.

After Shroud’s frustration with ARC Raiders, a former employee of PUBG admits he joined the streamer to ban cheaters – But he wasn’t allowed to do that

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A former employee of PUBG noticed Shroud’s frustration with ARC Raiders and shares how he banned cheaters without authorization.

What was the deal with Shroud’s frustration? The Twitch streamer “Shroud” was frustrated because he and his team were once again taken down by a cheater in ARC Raiders. He cursed that ARC Raiders was terrible and was convinced that the developers didn’t care about the problem.

A clip of the scene was viewed over 1.2 million times on X, which caught the attention of a former community manager from PUBG. “Hawkinz,” as he is called on X, then shared his experiences he had while working on the battle royale shooter.

Start video
ARC Raiders shows new Hurricane condition and hints at a new enemy

Community manager secretly bans cheaters after hours

What did he do in the fight against cheaters? Hawkinz reports that during his time at PUBG, he often joined Shroud’s matches and banned cheaters and stream-snipers. He claims to have spent hours writing down names:

When I was at PUBG, I would join Shroud’s games and manually ban cheaters and stream-snipers. I watched for hours and entered names into spreadsheets until it got early in the morning. Without manual oversight, there isn’t much you can do against cheaters who want to disrupt streamers.

Hawkinz via X

Hawkinz then confesses that this approach was not allowed: “This was not approved by PUBG; I wasn’t actually allowed to do it.” This is also the reason why a similar approach for games like ARC Raiders is not feasible: “Embark has little incentive to spend this time specifically for Shroud… it would likely cause more problems than it solves,” he explains.

Hawkinz explains that this approach would mean favoring Shroud and other streamers, neglecting the community, “the general public” (via X). That is not in the best interest of the companies.

When asked whether he left the rest of the community to the cheaters to give his favorite streamer preferential treatment, Hawkinz replied: “I was a community manager and mostly did this outside of regular working hours. The anti-cheat team took care of cheaters; that was not my task. But I handled thousands of reports about cheating from randoms on Twitter, Discord, Reddit, and so on.”

This is what Shroud says about the story: For Shroud, this is certainly something that makes him extremely happy – even if he likely overlooked the statement that such efforts are not worth it for ARC Raiders. On X, the streamer responds to the story of the former community manager:

“Holy shit, what a win… this problem isn’t just affecting streamers. Anyone who plays in high-level PvP lobbies has to deal with endless harassment and cheaters. All we ask is for a measly 20% effort from Embark… it’s just frustrating for everyone who loves this game (still my Game of the Year, by the way).”

So for ARC Raiders, the fight against cheaters is far from over. And with the increasing number of banned players, the developers are also feeling the effects of this fight more and more – for example, through unwanted visitors at the office: Players from ARC Raiders violate the sacred rule of online gaming, harassing the developers and claiming they are innocent

One of the best alternatives to Diablo promises a massive update, bringing over 60 new bosses to bury the ARPG afterwards

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

Grim Dawn celebrates its 10th anniversary and offers a massive update to match. This is meant to be the final, triumphant farewell for the popular action RPG.

What kind of game is Grim Dawn? Grim Dawn was released in 2016 and was developed and published by Crate Entertainment. It is a classic ARPG that focuses on a story, a deep class system, and complex builds. On Steam, the game has collected over 100,000 reviews in the ten years, with an overall rating of 93% positive.

While Grim Dawn can be played in co-op with friends, multiplayer is optional. The game does not include seasonal content and instead relies on DLCs. With “Fangs of Asterkarn”, the third and final expansion is now coming, with which the developers want to definitively conclude Grim Dawn, although this plan was actually set after the most recent DLC.

The expansion “Forgotten Realms” was last released in March 2019:

Start video
Grim Dawn: The Trailer to Forgotten Realms

New DLC is more than twice the size of the previous one

Initially, the developers thought Grim Dawn was finished after the second expansion “Forgotten Gods”. It felt like the perfect ending, including epic bosses and an endgame mode to test the limits of builds. However, player numbers continued to rise, prompting the team to decide to bring another DLC.

This is what the developers plan with the final DLC: According to Crate Entertainment, the development of Fangs of Asterkarn is almost complete. It is an understatement to refer to Fangs of Asterkarn as “just another expansion” because it is simply that huge. “Your journey through the land of Kurn will span 5.5 square kilometers. For comparison: That’s 76% of the size of the base game, 170% the size of Ashes of Malmouth, and 223% the size of Forgotten Gods,” explains the developer in a forum post.

What are the contents of the DLC? The third and final DLC will bring new content to Grim Dawn, but also a few technical upgrades:

  • A new area of 5.5 km² (equivalent to 76% of the size of the original base game)
  • New customizable game mode that makes the entire world (18 km²) an “endgame playground”
  • Introduction of the 10th mastery (a total of 45 possible class combinations)
    • First-time introduction of shapeshifting
  • Over 60 new bosses and minibosses, many with unique models and animations
  • Over 370 new unique items and 116 monster infrequents
  • 8 new nemesis monsters and 3 new super bosses
  • New alchemy system with customizable potions
  • Re-rolling of affixes
  • Overhauled stash – significantly more space and better organization for loot
  • Modern, scalable UI

When exactly the DLC will be released remains open for now. In fact, the release was already planned for winter 2025, but it has been suspected that it would rather be spring or even summer 2026. “Since we have no publisher setting hard milestones, we have the opportunity to take our time to do it right,” the developers explained in a forum post in June 2025.

Here are 4 pirates who pose a major threat even in the dangerous world of Warhammer Fantasy

Ody Ody Reading time 6 minutes

In Warhammer Fantasy, there are undead pirates, alongside whom even those from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films seem tame. Their king is a mad vampire with a splintered personality.

Warhammer Fantasy is the oldest of the three major Warhammer universes and the home of many races that are already familiar from other high-fantasy settings: In the mountains live stubborn but also powerful dwarfs, and there are three unique elf races that are considerably meaner than those from many other fantasy worlds. Humans also exist—from the knights of Bretonnia to the Empire under the rule of Emperor Karl Franz to the eastern empire of Cathay.

But there are also pirates in the world of Warhammer Fantasy. They do what pirates do and sail the seas in search of riches. Like every faction in this universe, they come with a twist, which can already be deduced from their name: the Vampire Coast.

[toc]

These pirate captains are not ordinary men, but blood-sucking vampires. And their crews are not made up of just any rogues, but hordes of zombies and other terrible undead as well as deep-sea creatures. At their side, crab-like Prometheans and leviathans also fight, as well as Necrofex Colossi—walking skeletons made from the wood of destroyed galleons, iron, and human flesh, animated only by magic.

The Old World is home to some notoriously famous pirate captains, but not every one of them is a vampire or even undead. The most famous will be introduced to you here—regardless of whether their lore belongs to the Vampire Coast. We start with a pirate woman who does not fit into this category.

Aranessa Saltspite

Strictly speaking, Aranessa is not part of the Vampire Coast: She is neither a vampire nor undead in any way. Her crew is also not. However, she is a feared pirate known as the “Queen of Tides” and is no ordinary human. At her birth, Aranessa was covered in scales and barnacles, had webbed fingers, and her legs grew together into a kind of fin from the knees down. Some are convinced she is the daughter of Manann, the sea god himself.

Her father, the chief of a tribe of Norsca (humans who live in the far north and often serve the Chaos gods), saw only unwanted mutations and threw her into the sea. She was then said to have been rescued by a school of daggerfish and brought to a cove. There, they are said to have raised three lake nymphs. From ships that ran aground near the cove, she learned about the world beyond her small, secluded homeland.

Start video
Total War: Warhammer – The Wild Tribes of Norsca in the Cinematic Trailer

One day, however, she decided to leave the cove. Well aware that she would be hunted in the outside world due to her mutations, she amputated her “fin” with a saber. She cauterized the stumps of her legs and strapped the snouts of two sawfish to them. She now walked on them as if they were two wooden legs. 

With a small rowboat, she sailed out into the open sea, where she was picked up by the crew of a galleon—the “Swordfysh.” Aboard the ship, she quickly rose through the ranks, from lookout to First Mate and finally to Captain.
