Space Marines are truly inseparable from the Warhammer universe, and now the engineered superhumans are getting their 3rd game. The publisher of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has officially announced a sequel.
What was shown? So far, there is only a short teaser for Space Marine 3, and it shows a still image of Captain Titus (the protagonist of the first two parts) and the name of the new game. In the background, only rain and thunder can be heard – overall, the teaser is rather uninformative on its own.

Space Marine 3 is supposed to be even more immersive
What is already known about the sequel? Not much at the moment. The developers have not officially confirmed who our major opponent in Space Marine 3 will be. The Tyranids from part 2 seem likely, but under the teaser on YouTube, some are also wishing for the return of the Orks from part 1 or the Necrons – skeletal alien robots.
Captain Titus is likely to return as the protagonist. He is one of the titular Space Marines – super soldiers bred by the Emperor, who are significantly larger than a normal human and much stronger as well.
The publisher of the game, Focus Entertainment, has revealed a bit more about Space Marine 3 in an announcement on their own website. The game is said to be “even more immersive” than part 2, offering “intense, brutal, and spectacular gameplay”.
Space Marine 3 will have both a campaign and a multiplayer mode. The publisher also promises “innovations that redefine the standard for third-person action games” – including “large-scale battles” that could take the already immense enemy hordes from part 2 up a notch.
Collectors, take note! In Pokémon GO, there’s soon a great opportunity to secure several Shinys at once.
Which event is it about? Pokémon GO has announced a new research day. It is themed “Cuddly Buddy” and focuses on small bear Pokémon. The catch: They all have an increased Shiny chance.
When is the research day? The research day takes place on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Which Pokémon are involved? The four Pokémon featured are:
Teddiursa
Petznief
Pam-Pam
Velursi
You will encounter these four Pokémon during the event in field research when you complete them. The encounters that you unlock through the research have an increased Shiny chance.
This creates a great event if you are looking for Shinys. And the four also have evolutions!

This is what the Shinys look like: Unfortunately, there are a few Shinys in Pokémon GO that don’t differ much from the originals. Luckily, this is not the case for most of the four bears and their evolutions. Here’s a small overview of the Pokémon, their evolutions, and the Shiny variants:
This is what the Shinys look like
Which Pokémon is particularly exciting? For many, Shiny Pam-Pam is an interesting target, as you typically get the little panda bear from eggs. Getting a Shiny is not easy. The research day could be a very good opportunity to get the shiny Pokémon.
How to get the Shinys? A research day is based on completing as many field researches as possible within the event period – as the Shinys are hidden behind them, if you are lucky.
This means you have to walk a lot. Because you only get new researches from PokéStops. The path is therefore:
Visit a Pokéstop
Pick up a research task
Already head towards the next stop
Complete the research task in the meantime
Pick up the next task
It may even be advisable to delete more difficult or especially time-consuming tasks and switch to others. This way, you can use the time more efficiently.
What else does the event bring? During the event, the following Pokémon will be roaming in the wild. While they can also appear as Shiny, there is no increased chance for them:
Wiesor
Bummelz
Bidiza
Picochilla
Scoppel
Additionally, there will be a paid limited research in the shop, which is expected to cost $2 (equivalent in euros). This will give you more encounters with the four bears, which also have an increased Shiny chance. Keep in mind that the limited research is only completable within the event period and will disappear at 5:00 PM, no matter how far you are.
What’s next in Pokémon GO? March not only brings the research day, but also has many other events to offer. For example, have you already started the special research that brings you the new legendary Pokémon Dakuma? It will be expanded throughout the entire season that started this month. But what exactly is coming up until the end of the month, you can find out here: All events in March 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Microsoft has introduced the gaming version of its AI “Copilot”. This AI is designed to take tasks off your hands and support you after a defeat. The first example from Microsoft is the game Overwatch 2.
What is Copilot for Gaming? Copilot is Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI), which has now been rolled out extensively in Windows. Now, Microsoft is bringing the chatbot as “Copilot for Gaming” for the first time on Xbox. The new chatbot is supposed to help you save time and discover new games.
Thus, Microsoft is also entering the gaming sector with artificial intelligence.
Start video
Check out the Xbox Series X in the official trailer
AI is set to assist you in the future while playing on PC and Xbox
What does Microsoft say about it? Microsoft’s initial statement sounds somewhat vague. So far, it states in the official announcement:
Copilot for Gaming is based on three principles: performance, adaptability, and personalization. It was developed to assist players in various ways, from personalized game recommendations and seamless game setups to helpful coaching and maintaining connections with friends.
Where will the AI be applicable? In fact, there are already a few scenarios that Microsoft demonstrates on how one could use “Copilot for Gaming” in the future:
In Minecraft, you can ask the AI what you can do with the resources you’ve just mined.
In Age of Empires IV, you can request a strategy suggestion on how to defeat your opponent.
And in Overwatch 2, you can have your last defeat analyzed to understand why you lost and which character you should choose next. This was shown in the official Xbox podcast (via Youtube.com).
Additionally, it is primarily advertised that the AI should take various tasks off your hands: For instance, it can inform you when your friends are online or recommend games to you. Or it imitates a conversation partner by chatting with you or insulting you, so you don’t have to talk to real people anymore. This reminds one of a patent for the PS4 and PS5, where the AI is also supposed to ensure that players no longer have to be alone on the PS5.
When will “Copilot for Gaming” be released? There is no release date yet. The AI is expected to be available first through Xbox Insider on mobile devices such as smartphones. Afterwards, the chatbot should also be available for PC and consoles. The English-language magazine PCGamer jokes: If by then the AI bubble hasn’t already burst.
Although the person already appeared in chapter 100 of the manga of One Piece, he is one of the most mysterious figures. Therefore, Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of the pirate adventure, must definitely involve him until the grand finale.
Who is it about? Monkey D. Dragon is Luffy’s father and the leader of the Revolutionary Army. The goal of his organization is to overthrow the world government, which is why he is the most wanted man on Blue Planet.
Although Luffy has never met him, he is a great father. He acts from behind the scenes and could have even helped his son in a situation with a Devil Fruit of his own. However, he might still play an important role before the grand finale of One Piece, as the manga suggests.
One Piece also has some movies available:

One Piece Film: Gold – The trailer for the anime movie
Monkey D. Dragon now has the best opportunity to defeat his enemies
What has been hinted at? In chapter 1083, Sabo described that by destroying the symbol of the world aristocrats, he has instigated a war. The Revolutionary Army has also cut off the food supply to the base of the world government and the residence of the world aristocrats, Mary Geoise.
However, it becomes clear during the conversation that Dragon fears the Knights Order of the Gods. He believes that the real fight would only begin when the Knights are mobilized by the Five Elders. Therefore, he would now have the best opportunity to attack the world government.
Why would now be a good moment? Currently, the commander of the Knights Order, Shamrock, is on Elban. There, he terrorizes the residents together with Gunko, who is connected to the most powerful opponent in One Piece, and two other members of the order.
The Five Elders have therefore mobilized the Knights on Elban. Thus, now would be the best time to attack Mary Geoise while the Knights are located elsewhere.
In Path of Exile 2, trading is a topic that repeatedly stirs emotions. A player has now invented a tool that reveals the true value of found items to everyone. However, one day after its release, it was banned.
What can the tool do? The “Path of Exile 2” player micahriggan wanted to do the community a favor and designed a program called Poe2Stash, which allows anyone to quickly and easily check the prices of found items.
Instead of painstakingly checking each item individually, you can simply put all the found items into a stash box using the new tool and get prices for each item.
This could significantly optimize the gameplay flow, as you can now farm, transfer all loot to the stash, and continue playing directly while the app handles price comparisons in the background. The effort for manual price checks is completely eliminated.
But the tool offers even more functions:
Filtering all items in the stash by specific keywords (e.g. “movement speed”)
Automatic synchronization of all account items
Calculation of currency earned per hour
Extraction of trade requests with direct price checking
Here you can watch the teaser trailer for the new update of Path of Exile 2:
Start video
Path of Exile 2 presents a new teaser for the big update Dawn of the Hunt
Banned after just one day
What’s the deal with the ban? Poe2Stash was only live for a day, and then the program stopped working. On Reddit, several users complained about error messages, but these apparently had nothing to do with the program itself.
As the Poe2Stash developer micahriggan announced on Reddit, his program was banned by Grinding Gear Games. He was not given a specific reason. The only information he has is an error message: “Banned; this tool does not comply with our third-party guidelines”.
The developer, who seemingly only wanted to do a favor for the community, is now asking for help to figure out what changes are necessary for his program to remain usable. Whether the program will ever be usable again remains to be seen. If that happens, you will find out with us.
Trading in Path of Exile 2 continues to annoy many new players. The lack of an auction house, trade bots, and numerous scams consistently lead to frustration. No changes to the trading system have been announced even for the big update “Hunt of the Dawn”.

A fan of Cristiano Ronaldo has cleared out his entire club in EA FC 25 to play the new card of the superstar. The community on Reddit is reacting with a lot of humor to what is probably the worst team CR7 has ever played for.
What is this new card of Cristiano Ronaldo? For the FUT Birthday for Ultimate Team in FC 25, a so-called Flashback card of Cristiano Ronaldo has been released, which is supposed to remind players of a strong version of the Portuguese striker from 2022.
The new card has received an upgrade to 93 (+7) and is said to feel much faster, more agile, and stronger thanks to new PlayStyles. However, the upgrade to the better Ronaldo version comes with a hefty price tag.
How expensive is the new card of Ronaldo? At over 2 million coins, the card, which you can only get through a Squad Building Challenge (SBC), costs a considerable amount of coins. You will need to submit a total of 21 squads, including 2 teams with a required 90 rating.
A fan indulged in this expensive fun, but aside from CR7, his team looks pretty bad.
Recommended editorial content
At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.
I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms.

This shows that the fan has sold his club: The Portuguese superstar is surrounded by bronze cards with a maximum rating of 64. These are probably the only players left after the sell-off for CR7. All the strong gold players and coins have gone into the SBC.
Moreover, he didn’t even pay attention to team chemistry, which could at least give his weak players a boost. Even Cristiano Ronaldo has no chemistry points. Thus, while the player owns a quite expensive team because of Ronaldo’s value, it is also one of the probably most unbalanced teams in FC 25.
Another funny detail: The user seems to have preferred to spend the last of his coins on a cosmetic evolution for his superstar. The FUT Birthday look from FIFA 20, which you see on Ronaldo’s card, costs an additional 50,000 coins.

Fans say: “He even sacrifices his managers” for CR7
In the comments of the post on Reddit, fans express their opinions on the bronze team around Cristiano Ronaldo.
Top commentator Ariashorse first assesses CR7’s fan team and has observed a trend:
“I have played against some people with CR7, but with a bad team. One even had an outfield player as a goalkeeper, so that’s not far from the truth.” (via Reddit)
User Thin_Buffalo_9925 noticed that the team is still without a manager (empty space in the top left of the picture), which leads him to the following assumption:
“The brother even sacrificed his coaches.” (via Reddit)
Other players see primarily the positive side of the costly action:
DagothUrWasInnocent comments a GIF with the message: “A noble thing.” (via Reddit)
payne59 at least writes, perhaps with a touch of irony: “With this, you’ll definitely make it to the elite division (the highest league in Division Rivals, Ed.).” (via Reddit)
What might encourage the impoverished owner of the new Ronaldo card: Over 1,300 people have liked his post on Reddit.
This action can once again serve as an example of how far fans of Cristiano Ronaldo go to be able to play with their idol. In which league the user competes with this team and how successful he is in general with his team is unfortunately not mentioned.

A father is asking for tips to quickly become strong in Palworld to surprise his son. The community immediately comes to the rescue with some creative ideas.
What is the father doing? As user GhostOfJecht reports in a post on Reddit, he has secretly sneaked into a Palworld server where his son is playing with two friends. The player plans to become strong enough to pose a serious challenge to the three, a sort of boss battle.
He has already secretly leveled up to level 20. However, as he does not want to attract attention, he completely lacks infrastructure. Therefore, the player is asking the community for ideas on how to acquire Pals and equipment to keep up with the group (via Gry Online).

Some of those have been compiled here for you:
T3rraque points to the possibility of building hidden bases: “There are several places where you can glitch under the map. These are small areas where you can build a base. […] This base will never be found.”
neoseed advises to exploit the server: “When your son is not online, increase the exp and capture rate and level up quickly. Then lower it again once he’s home.”
c12yofchampions takes a completely different approach: “Use your power. Ground your son, grind, then give him back his PC privileges. Not only will this be a boss battle, now you also have a villain storyline.”
Another user suggests sending the son to his grandparents for a weekend to grind undisturbed in his absence. Some players are also asking for updates on the epic confrontation between father and son – or want to know how the father managed to remain undetected for so long.

This is also evident in the gameplay video, where you can see some modern elements like a gas station, cars, and the drone that accompanies you. There is also a type of tablet visible in the video, which provides access to important information and the inventory, among other things.

The team from Pokémon TCG Pocket has taken the players’ criticism to heart and will change the trading system. However, many impatient players feel that this is not enough.
You need trading tokens starting from a rarity of 3 diamonds to trade cards. You can obtain these through events or missions. In addition to trading stamina, you can only trade a limited number of times.
To create trading tokens, collectors can alternatively destroy cards. However, this means that in the worst case, they will have no duplicates left for trading.
You can only trade cards with friends. Players with few people on their friends list are limited in their options.
The criticism of this system was so great at the release that even players who invested a lot of money in the mobile game avoided the trading feature. However, the development team has heard the desperate cries of the community and is now implementing a change.
The latest expansion, which you can see in the following trailer, unfortunately cannot be traded yet:

What will change in trading? As the team informs on X, the trading tokens are to be eliminated. Instead, trainers should use sparkle dust, which they also use to acquire flair.
The developers are aware that the item will then be used for two functions. Therefore, they want to ensure that every trainer has enough of it. The update should allow them to trade even more cards.
When will the feature be available? The trading tokens are expected to be removed sometime in autumn 2025. When exactly is not yet determined. During this period, all trading tokens in the players’ possession will be exchanged for sparkle dust.
What are players saying about it? Under the tweet, there are some comments expressing happiness about the change. However, scrolling through the comments shows that there are still two points that bother fans:
Autumn 2025 seems too long for many users
They want to trade their entire collection, not just a part of it
When the development team will expand the selection to particularly rare cards or promo cards remains to be seen. So far, it is only possible to trade up to a rarity of one star. What levels exist above that is revealed by MeinMMO: Pokémon TCG Pocket: The rarest cards and how to obtain them

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the various weapons are not only a useful tool but for many, they are part of their personality. Some weapon types are more popular and better than others. The lance is often underestimated, but MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes has come to love it. A video shows why.
What kind of video is it? The channel yourtopgamingclips showcases a video on TikTok featuring the user Kyrios034. There, you can see him fighting against Nu Udra, the fire octopus, which gives some players a tough time. He demonstrates a good strategy in combat with the lance.
You can see him performing the iconic lance thrust, where he runs until his stamina runs out. He swirls around the tentacles that do not block the thrust. In other words, he continuously jabs at the tentacles, which get cut off in rows. A good tactic to significantly weaken Nu Udra.
I myself am a big fan of the lance, with which I played a large part of the main game. And what can I say, while the lance is considered the weakest weapon in the game according to our weapon tier list, Wilds has made it as fun as ever.
What do I like about the lance in Monster Hunter Wilds? For a long time, I considered the lance to be a rather boring weapon that I didn’t even want to touch. Hiding behind a shield and poking every now and then? That sounded like a nightmare to me in a dynamic series like Monster Hunter.
However, in a replay of Monster Hunter World 2024, I decided to give it a try, and I actually found enjoyment in the lance. Especially the charging thrust was a fun attack. At the start of the Wilds campaign, I took the lance with me and was thrilled because it felt really hefty.
While you are still somewhat of a tank, the gameplay experience has significantly improved compared to the predecessors. The attacks feel heftier, as if you are a berserker delivering a strong blow after a successful block. This feeling is complemented by the focus attack, which turns the oversized toothpick into a mighty drill.
Blocks also feel as good as never before. This is due to the audiovisual design of the perfect blocks. This isn’t just satisfying; it feels like you are the last bastion in the fight against an apocalyptic threat.
The lance shows what Monster Hunter Wilds does quite well in general. Aside from the story, there are not many cutscenes because you have situations in combat that other games would only feature as cutscenes.
What are the disadvantages of the lance? One of the biggest drawbacks is that the lance is not as flashy as other weapons. There are no spectacular combos like with the great sword or big explosions like with the gunlance. As with the gunlance, you also need to work with short dashes, which feel unfamiliar when playing other weapons.
Nevertheless, I urge: regularly change your weapon type. That’s how I do it too. Trying out and learning new techniques, strategies, and mechanics is the most fun for me in the Monster Hunter series.
In Harry Potter, there are quite a few villains, including of course Draco Malfoy. His actor was accustomed to the role, but one scene in the films taught even him to fear.
Tom Felton played Draco Malfoy in all eight films of Harry Potter and was despite having relatively little screen time the highest-paid actor. While he initially stands out in the early parts for bullying other students and comes across as snobby, his character develops into an almost tragic direction over the course of the story.
At the latest in Part 6, the character gains additional depth when he is personally chosen by Lord Voldemort to kill Dumbledore. Despite everything, Draco doesn’t fare too poorly in our survey of the favorite characters.
Tom Felton shared a scene or two with Lord Voldemort. However, in one case, something unexpected happened on set that even gave the experienced actor goosebumps.
The image rights of Harry Potter are held by Warner Bros.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 – Movie Trailer
An Unexpected Hug
Which scene are we talking about? In Film 8, the second part of the Deathly Hallows, the great battle for Hogwarts takes place. The “good” side, led by Harry, Ron, and Hermione, defends the wizarding school against Voldemort’s attack and his henchmen.
Initially, Draco is also on the side of the defenders, but in a particular scene, he crosses over to the evil side. Voldemort welcomes Draco’s decision and praises him for it.
Tom Felton describes the shooting in his book “Beyond Magic: The Blessing and Curse of Growing Up a Wizard” (via businessinsider.com) and calls the scene “a big moment”.
According to Felton, it was shot up to 50 times, during which the actors tried out different things. Especially Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes loved to improvise, leading to a special moment. Felton describes it this way:
Ralph looked at me differently every time. Sometimes he smiled; sometimes he didn’t. Sometimes he interrupted his monologue and told me to go back. In the middle of a take, as I approached him for the umpteenth time, he only raised his arm just a little. It was the smallest gesture, but enough to make me stop and think: Does he want to hug me?
Tom Felton
Film fans likely remember the moment when Voldemort actually hugs Draco. In the film, the scene seems very strange because while Voldemort makes a nice gesture, he appears anything but affectionate. Felton thought the same:
He hugged me with the least inviting hug ever captured on film. Even on set, it took me by surprise. A hug from Voldemort was frightening for Draco, and for Tom, it was just as uncomfortable. Back then, I got goosebumps, and the memory of it still gives me goosebumps today.
The shivering was worth it, as the scene made it into the final film. Felton himself didn’t know about it until the premiere. He was all the more surprised to see the shocked reaction of the audience. The scene is rightly memorable and hard to forget once you’ve seen it.

World of Warcraft copies the best concepts from other games – and makes them better. The housing is once again clear evidence of this.
With the latest presentation of housing in World of Warcraft it is clear where the journey is headed. Blizzard takes the popular feature from other MMORPGs and finally grants it to its own player base – after many years of begging and pleading. Fans immediately find parallels to other games, such as Final Fantasy, WildStar, or SWTOR. But many of the annoyances here do not exist. Blizzard copies and polishes.
Now one might say: Too bad, if a company can “only copy”. But if we’re honest, this is what made Blizzard great. Blizzard was once known for taking good and successful ideas and seeing what could be improved and refined. World of Warcraft was born out of these thoughts. Some of the developers were fans of the MMORPG “EverQuest”, but found some features so annoying that they wanted to improve it with their own MMORPG.

WoW gets Player Housing – An initial teaser
Therefore, World of Warcraft has always been designed to allow players to achieve success alone in the game. Raids and dungeons were all instantiated, so players did not have to fight others for the bosses – and there were no draconian penalties, such as losing gained XP or even “reverse leveling”.
The same can basically be said for many other games from Blizzard. Overwatch has clearly drawn some inspiration from Team Fortress, improving it through lovable and detailed characters and a lot of polishing – if we set aside the whole debacle surrounding the never-released PvE mode.
Back to the Roots: What Made Blizzard Great
For a while, it seemed like Blizzard had lost this talent. Now at least World of Warcraft shows: No, they can still do it.
Because that’s exactly what they have done again with housing. The first clips of the housing feature on the official WoW website already give a good insight into the possibilities that are coming.
Housing in WoW looks good. ‘Perfect’ some may say.
World of Warcraft simply “sat out” this feature for several decades. While other MMORPGs experimented with housing, Blizzard waited. Now, after the feature has long been established in all other major MMOs, World of Warcraft follows suit and mercilessly dismantles what annoys in other MMORPGs:
There is no rent. Your house belongs to you, forever.
There is no restricted building space. Everyone can have a house.
Extreme customization options: Size, arrangement, and exact position of all objects can be adjusted.
Much freedom: You can create your own rooms, color objects, and connect multiple items into new objects.
While there are still some details about housing that are not known, it is already obvious: Blizzard has taken all the things that fans of Final Fantasy XIV or SW:TOR are annoyed by, combined it with everything that is loved in other MMORPGs (like WildStar) and cast it into the setting of World of Warcraft.
Some may scoff and say that Blizzard proves again how good they are at copying. I, on the other hand, say this with genuine joy – because I want exactly the features that other MMORPGs have had for a long time. Just better. Taking something existing and improving it, that’s what Blizzard simply could do. And I am very glad if they prove that again now.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, it is easy to get lost in the depths of menus and settings. Hidden in some corners are options that can significantly improve your gaming experience. MeinMMO has prepared a list of various settings that can save your hunter life.
Why are the menus problematic? Monster Hunter Wilds offers an overwhelming amount of possibilities to customize your gaming experience. From detailed settings for your HUD to minor options in accessibility, the game provides almost everything a hunter’s heart desires.
It is unfortunate that there is so much that some options can easily be overlooked or hidden in one of the many submenus. To make your life easier, we have compiled the 6 most important settings that can significantly improve your gaming experience but are somewhat hidden.
If you want to jump directly to a specific point, feel free to use our directory:

Favorites Menu
The most convenient and time-saving setting that is somewhat hidden is the favorites menu. It is so hidden that you have to activate it first. To do this, open the menu overview and press the button for the submenu.
There, you can customize the tabs and add the favorites menu with the star, as well as hide, move, or add other tabs. In the star tab, you can then place all menu items that you frequently need as shortcuts.
As a result, you only have to open the menu once and have your most important points immediately in view without having to dig through the submenus and tabs.
How exactly to do this, we show you in this video:

To do this, go to page 3 of the game settings and find the point in the middle where you can turn the option on and off.
You can find the option for this on page 3 of the game settings
Saikrii Control
In line with this, you will find two more options in the control settings that can ease your coexistence with your Saikrii. You have the option to change the control style for your mount entirely to directional inputs so that you no longer have to manually accelerate or stop with additional buttons, but can simply move or ride with the stick or WASD.
You can also set how you want to use exclusive routes in the areas that you can only traverse by Saikrii in the point below.
You can find the settings for this on page 2 in the control settings.

Camera Distance and Orientation to Your Character
Are you having trouble properly perceiving your surroundings or just want to see more of it? Then do not despair: There is an option that allows you to set the distance of the camera from your character.
You can find this option on page 2 of the camera settings under the menu item Camera Distance: Zoom. The rule is: the higher the value, the further away the camera is. Directly below, you can also set the pan in which the camera stands in relation to your character.
How to set the camera, you can see here in the video more clearly:

Hide & Dye Armor Pieces
Are you a fashion hunter and an armor piece just doesn’t fit your outfit or you simply don’t want to see it? No problem! These options may not be as hidden as others we present here, but they are still not immediately found.
To do this, go to your tent and select the last tab. There, choose the menu item Equipment Appearance. You can then use the sliders to hide or reveal individual armor pieces.
If you are far enough advanced in the game and have reached the high-ranking quests, you can also overlay forged armor as a skin over your currently worn armor or dye your armor.
In your tent, you can adjust and dye your armor
Hide Helm & Weapon in Cutscenes
Do you love your helmet as it is and don’t want it hidden all the time, but still don’t want to miss the pretty face of your hunter in important cutscenes? There is a solution for this as well.
Because you can hide both the helmet and your weapons so that they are only not displayed in cutscenes. To do this, go to the game settings on page 3. There you will find the options Weapon Visibility and Headgear Visibility.
There you can choose whether you want to see the corresponding equipment pieces in general or if they should remain hidden in cutscenes. A summary video about the various options can be seen here:

Which trophy is the hardest? All achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds are doable and not difficult. However, some are time-consuming. These include the collections of the Golden Crowns.
Annoyingly, the trophy “Forever Hunting Community” could also be troublesome, as you need to complete up to 100 multiplayer quests. If you don’t like playing online, this will be a nightmare. And then there is the hunt for the 50 Weathered Monsters, which are much harder to defeat than regular ones.
Here you can find all guides to Monster Hunter Wilds from MeinMMO at a glance – from tips for beginners to lists on monsters and rankings of the strongest weapons.

Base and field camps are great additions for your hunter. With them, you can stock up on supplies before each hunt, rest, or eat. Here you can find all the information.
Affinity is a core feature that allows you to deal critical hits on your hunted monsters. The system can be very useful, especially in endgame when you have to face real heavyweights.
There are 14 weapons you can play with, but not all of them are among the best. We looked at all of them and provide you with an overview in our tier list, showing which ones are the strongest of the strong.
As a newcomer to the series, it would be advisable not to rely solely on the tier list at first but rather to choose a weapon that is strong for beginners. We recommend 5 examples.

Although the 2nd season of The Last of Us has not even started yet, HBO can already celebrate a new record. This is thanks to the latest trailer.
With the episodes of the first season, The Last of Us managed to reach an average of 32 million viewers across all platforms in the USA. The season finale alone attracted over 8.2 million viewers in one day (via Deadline).
The new trailer for season 2 has only been available for a few days and has already caused quite a stir. Not only for MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen, who was particularly moved by a very brief scene from the teaser, but also because of the huge viewer numbers. They swelled in the first 3 days after the trailer’s release to such an extent that they virtually pulverized a company record of HBO.
What kind of record is it? According to the figures from Warner Bros. Discovery (via Deadline), the viewer numbers for the new trailer surpassed the views of previous teasers by 160%, more than double. They stood at around 158 million viewers after the first 3 days.
Thus, the figures represent a new record for HBO and Max originals. You can watch the trailer in question here:

One of the top comments from user mooooonss reads: Guys, I’m not ready. (via YouTube)
jay_elias__ feels sympathy for a loved one, as the wait for the second season is almost over: “My girlfriend has no idea what will happen in the next season. I feel sorry for her, but she has to experience this moment.” (via YouTube)
ShakiraMele is still hoping for supernatural assistance: “After all this time of preparation, I am still praying for divine guidance.” (via YouTube)
On the X account, Max has already started the countdown to episode 1 of the second season and announces that it will only take one more month. The hype should not diminish as a result.

The new US government wants to change how artificial intelligence is handled in the United States. One of the biggest players in this field is now resisting and saying: If their AI is no longer allowed to read protected content, we would lose a race against China.
What is OpenAI?
OpenAI was founded in 2015 and researches artificial intelligence.
Why does OpenAI need protected material? Artificial intelligence needs to be “trained”. This means that the machines take, for example – mostly texts created by humans – and learn from them how a text actually works.
The more material available, the better the AI becomes at what it does, whether it be images, videos, or texts. However, the AI does not care whether a work is protected or not. It learns and can, in some cases, reproduce an entire book without the author ever having been paid for it.
“We have created a monster” – A Spanish model earns up to 10,000 euros a month, yet she is not real
Without protected material, the race is effectively over
The current US government under President Trump plans a reform on how to deal with artificial intelligence (via whitehouse.gov). Suggestions and comments on how the USA can become a global leader should be submitted by March 15.
OpenAI has now put forth numerous ideas and shared them on the official blog. There it says:
The government can simultaneously secure Americans’ freedom to learn from AI and prevent handing leadership to the People’s Republic of China by maintaining the ability for American AI models to learn from protected material.
If it is restricted that artificial intelligences are allowed to read protected material, the race to develop AI is “effectively over” – because these restrictions do not exist in China. Besides that, as stated in the more detailed paper on this, smaller companies with limited budgets need a wide range of content to train their AI.
The new trailer for Dune: Awakening provides further insights into the gameplay of the survival MMO. The focus is primarily on the desert of the endgame, but one feature is much more prominent: the ornithopters. MeinMMO presents the new trailer and its contents.
What kind of game is this? Dune: Awakening is a multiplayer survival game set in the desert of the fictional planet Arrakis (known from the books and films). According to the publisher Funcom, the game is set to release on May 20, 2025, for Steam.
The new trailer, released on March 13, 2025, showcases fundamental gameplay mechanics and unprecedented insights from the vast world:

Dune: Awakening zeigt Gameplay zum großen Endgame-Gebiet, der Deep Desert
Robo-dragons quickly take you across the changeable map
What can be seen in the trailer? The video makes it clear how clever exploration is rewarded: Those who venture into the desert discover new locations and can share this knowledge with others.
Crafted tools assist you, making the search for important resources significantly easier. For example, there are probes you can use to mark interesting points from the air. A special scanning mechanism reveals resources and treasures in undiscovered areas.
How to utilize giant robo-dragons: Those who want to mine efficiently and, above all, survive in the desert will eventually have to rely on a gadget: ornithopters. The robo-dragons are the real stars of the trailer for us. They are flying transport ships inspired by the appearance of a dragonfly. From the cockpit, you can see the extent of the entire map and get from A to B faster. This is necessary, as the map is constantly changing.
What is the deal with the changeable map? Huge storms regularly sweep across the desert, constantly altering the landscape. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, as it creates new locations for treasures and resources every week. Thus, you have an incentive to go exploring again each week.
The Deep Desert is the dangerous endgame area where open PvP is always present. Anyone trying to get spice here must be cautious not to get shot by other players – even if it’s just because the other player needs your blood to extract water.
What else can you expect in Dune Awakening? As in most survival games, you need to use the resources you collect to build a shelter or upgrade your gear, such as your suit or weapons. You will need these to face the dangers in the desert. MeinMMO editor and survival expert Benedict Grothaus has already had a chance to play the game: I have played thousands of hours of survival games, but Dune: Awakening is different from any of them

The current lore of Warhammer 40,000 is changing. In the newer history, there is a new leader for what might be the greatest superpower in the galaxy. And the Imperium is in desperate need of a change. The exciting part: the new chief has spoken with the old one.
Roboute Guilliman, also known as Guillaume in German texts, is the Primarch of the Ultramarines – the guy who was created by the Emperor himself and serves as the genetic template for the chapter.
The Space Marine is an absolute loyalist and fights with great zeal for the Imperium of Man. Over the course of the history of Warhammer 40,000, Guilliman has had a significant impact on events multiple times.
He is credited with the existence of the Codex Astartes, the rules of the Space Marines, which limit each chapter to 1,000 members – even if not everyone adheres to this.
Now Guilliman is the Lord Marshal and Regent of the Imperium, the de facto leader of humanity in Warhammer 40,000. Under him, many things are run differently.

The Emperor’s Grace vs. Guilliman’s Grace
On Reddit, a user shared an excerpt from the novel “Dark Imperium” by Guy Haley from 2022. It discusses the different interpretations of “grace” under the Emperor and Guilliman.
The “Emperor’s Grace” is in Warhammer a synonym for a redemptive shot intended to kill a comrade. It often occurs at the slightest illness, as it could be a sign of Nurgle’s infections.
Guilliman’s Grace, on the other hand, follows the creed that ailments should be treated. As the Imperium lacks manpower, the Regent prefers to establish clinic worlds where soldiers can be treated – depending on the severity of their injuries or illnesses, with different methods, but always with the goal of recovery, if possible.
The quote states: That is the difference between the grace of Guilliman and that of the Emperor. Users find plenty of positive words for this approach. Guilliman is the one person in a world full of horrors and insane rules who works with a cool head.
However, this situation has not lasted long. The Primarch first had to return from the dead.
Guilliman is back and first saves the world
During and shortly after the “Horus Heresy”, the great brother war, Guilliman was so severely wounded by one of his Chaos-corrupted brothers that he had to spend the next 10,000 years in a stasis field at the moment of his death.
Only in the newer lore has the Adeptus Mechanicus managed to create armor that can heal Guilliman while he wears it. This achievement is thanks to the help of a group of Eldar, the former galaxy-dominating Space Elves.
Guilliman first had to protect Terra from a Khorne invasion after having previously been attacked in the Warp and even having fallen into captivity. Only through the help of numerous allies, including again Eldar and the Sisters of Silence, was he able to reach Terra at all. Shortly thereafter, another war against Nurgle’s forces broke out – in which the Primarch had to be rescued by the Emperor himself.
What exactly the two discussed in a psychic connection is not known. However, Guilliman has already started restructuring the Imperium. And hardly anyone is as well suited for this task as he is.
The Regent is a master of administration – and has once ruled an Imperium
Like all Primarchs, Guilliman was “abducted” after his creation and grew up somewhere in the galaxy. As the adopted son of a regent, he learned early on how to manage an empire and care for its inhabitants.
Accordingly, the system over which he reigns is an absolute model in terms of logistics. While this part of the galaxy was cut off from the Imperium, Guilliman even declared and administered the “Imperium Secundus.”
He had already managed the actual Imperium right after the brother war. That things are going so well for the worlds under him is nonetheless a surprise, as Space Marines are not humans – or not anymore.
Many Space Marines have difficulty understanding human needs and simply follow rules instead. However, Guilliman has something like compassion, even if it may only be learned.
