The Netflix series about One Piece already hints at Luffy’s strongest form in season 2, which only appears in episode 1071 of the anime

For many, the Netflix series of One Piece is a first encounter with the work of Eiichiro Oda. However, for fans, secrets are already hidden in the background that will only be unveiled much later in the anime and manga. In the 2nd season, there are first hints about Luffy’s most powerful form.

The Netflix series of One Piece not only attracts many newcomers to the world of the Straw Hat Pirates but also fans of the anime and manga. There is also much for them to see, as even in early episodes, it hides secrets and characters that will become important much later.

In the 2nd season, there are several clues to Luffy’s most powerful form, which actually appears much later in the manga and anime.

Warning: The following article contains spoilers for the anime, manga, and live-action series of One Piece

Fans can look forward not only to the 3rd season:

The so-called Sun God

Which form are we talking about? In the anime and manga, Luffy gains the ability Gear. These are different forms of his fruit that make him faster or stronger. In the Wano Country arc in episode 1071 (manga chapter 1044), Luffy awakens the so-called Gear 5, his most powerful form.

He gains white hair and clouds that float like a crown above him. In the process, it is also revealed that Luffy’s fruit is not just the Gum-Gum Fruit, but the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. Hito Hito no Mi is the Human-Human Fruit (Chopper ate a different variant). Through the fruit, Luffy can transform into the Sun God Nika. He was a legendary warrior, revered by giants and slaves among others.

Which form can be seen in the Netflix series? The first hint of Nika comes in episode 2 of the 2nd season. To calm Laboon and save his friends from his belly, Luffy sings the pirate song. In doing so, he starts to dance. This is not just coincidental; he dances similarly to the silhouettes of the Sun God Nika. This happens around 45 minutes into the episode.

But that’s not all. In episode 4, the references to Nika continue. In episode 4, the Straw Hats meet Brogy and Dorry. Around minute 24 of the episode, Vivi and Luffy stand on a large wooden box, and three wooden figures are visible. One of them is Brogy, but the other two are special: One figure depicts Loki, the prince of the land Elbaph, and one is of the Sun God Nika. Loki himself has not yet been seen in the anime, only in the manga. He made his first appearance in chapter 1130.

Nika is even mentioned by name: Just before the battle between the two giants begins, Dorry and Brogy drink together. In the German version, Dorry says (around minute 35:30): May the Sun God Nika smile down on our duel and grant us a place in the great hall of heroes.

Why is the reference so special? Nika is not just an Easter egg for fans or a powerful form of Luffy. The myth surrounding the Sun God is firmly intertwined with the past, present, and future of the world of One Piece. It is relevant to political and social issues within this world and will become even more important throughout the manga and anime.

However, it will likely take some time before the Straw Hats engage with such topics in the live-action version. After all, the next season will already start with the crew getting involved in the politics of a country: Netflix confirms the start date for One Piece Season 3, also shows what it will be about

Twitch streamer has 14,000 viewers, does not want to be photographed secretly: “Not the property of the public”

The Twitch streamer Maik “Zarbex” does not want to be treated like an “animal in a zoo” just because he is in the public eye. This is especially true for viewers who secretly take pictures of content creators.

What does Zarbex say about privacy? The Twitch streamer Zarbex spoke in one of his past streams about the privacy that one should have as a content creator. He feels that secret recordings made by viewers of him feel like being an animal in a zoo (Source: Twitch from minute 25:16).

Zarbex also talked about an encounter with a viewer on the highway. According to him, the other person filmed from their own car into the car of the Twitch streamer while driving.

The streamer believes that just because one is a person in the public eye, they are not the property of the public.

One is still a human

Why did Zarbex bring up the topic? The discussion was triggered by a picture of the streamer AliBumayeTV, who had been photographed by a viewer on a train while asleep.

Zarbex has the following to say on the topic:

There are people who say: ‘You chose this. You’re a public figure. You’re a streamer and so on.’ Yes, that is right, and I also handle it well when I get approached on the street, and I also like to take pictures and chat with people. […] But when I’m somehow sleeping or napping on the train and people come up and bother you, I find that uncool. One is still a human and deserves respect.

Zarbex on Twitch from minute 25:55

As a streamer, Zarbex makes a living from many people watching him simultaneously on a platform while gaming or doing other things. In the past 365 days, Zarbex had an average of 14,259 viewers according to SullyGnome.

Often, these streams occur in his own private spaces. Additionally, it is part of the job of a streamer to share a part of their private life with the public. However, the difference lies in the context in which filming and sharing occur. Secret filming in a more private moment that the streamer does not share themselves is something different than a Twitch stream intended for entertainment purposes.

Such feelings can apparently also arise in other situations. During gamescom 2023, the Twitch streamer MontanaBlack chose a similar formulation. The gamescom 2023 was indeed full, not only of visitors but also of content creators.
MontanaBlack commented at the time that influencers seemed to be like monkeys in a zoo. You can read more about that gamescom 2023 here on MeinMMO: “Like monkeys in a zoo” – Do Twitch streamers dominate gamescom 2023?

At 13 years old, he won 200 dollars in Fortnite, 5 years later he reaches 1 million and is considered one of the best players in the world

A talented child became a professional gamer at the age of 13; five years later, he is considered one of the best players in one of the biggest shooters in the world.

Who is it about? In 2020, 13-year-old Peter Kata won his first prize money in Fortnite. The talented gamer placed 16th in Chapter 2 Season 3 during the weekly Console Cash Cup. That was basically the start of his career as a professional gamer.

Five years later, Kata is a star in the Fortnite e-sports scene and is among the best players to ever play the battle royale shooter from Epic Games. He also entertains thousands of viewers on social media.

While the YouTube videos of the American regularly reach over 700,000 views, an average of 5,000 Fortnite fans tune into his streams on Twitch (via Sullygnome). There, the now 18-year-old is mainly known by the name “PeterBot.”

Started small, now a well-deserved pro gamer

This is how the career of the e-sports athlete went: By April 2026, PeterBot won over 50 tournaments, including some prestigious FNCS titles with thousands of dollars in prize money (via Liquipedia).

His biggest success was winning the FNCS Global Championship 2024, crowning him and his duo partner Miguel “Pollo” Moreno as the world champions of Fortnite and earning a whopping $200,000 in prize money. So far, PeterBot has won a total of $1.1 million in Fortnite and is among the 25 most successful players of the game – even though he missed the heyday of Fortnite’s e-sports.

Many top earners in the scene, such as “Bugha” and “aqua,” earned large sums in 2019 when Fortnite tournaments had significantly higher prize pools. At that time, the victory in the Fortnite World Cup Finals in duos alone offered $3 million.

This is what’s next: The next big tournament where Fortnite pros like PeterBot will compete for the title is the “Major 1 Summit” of the Fortnite Champion Series 2026, taking place in May in Düsseldorf. The winning duo can grab $200,000 here.

A competitor of the 18-year-old American could be the German content creator and Fortnite pro “Rezon ay,” who even dropped out of school for the shooter. On MeinMMO, you can read his story: What happened to the 17-year-old who became a millionaire with Fortnite and dropped out of school?

“Age wasn’t a criteria”: A pensioner teaches younger people how to use Windows and smartphones at 102 years old

If people in Sydney, Australia, need help with Tech questions, they stand a good chance of landing with perhaps the oldest tech supporter in the country.

Who is this man? Dean Simes is the head of “Computer Pals,” a computer club for seniors in Turramurra, on the north shore of Australia’s capital, Sydney. There, Simes teaches them how to use modern computers and smartphones, as well as various applications like WhatsApp or Microsoft Excel.

ABC Radio Sydney visited him during one of his classes. There, Simes told the reporter more about the background of his work. “When this club started [in 2000], XP was just coming out, and now we’re in Windows 11, and over the years there’s been a lot of changes. You can’t avoid having to use a computer.”

However, Simes is typically much older than those he helps with his expertise. He is also a retiree – and already 102 years old.

Start video
Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes

Age never mattered, only expertise

While the reporter was visiting, Simes was teaching an older couple – Vera and Michael Last – how to set up WhatsApp on their Android smartphone. Mrs. Last, 94 years old, used to be quite good with computers – when she was still working. Today, she feels she has lost touch.

The couple never asked about Simes’ age. “It wasn’t a criteria,” the two say. Simes’ expertise is, on the other hand, “legendary,” says Bill Soper, secretary-treasurer of the club.

All of us bow down to Dean’s knowledge of computers.

Interestingly, Simes only became interested in computers relatively late – in the 1980s, when he moved to Sydney. Before that, he worked in the mining industry. At that time, he had used computers at work, but didn’t own one himself. This changed in the ’80s when he bought a second-hand PC.

“When I first got my own hand-me-down computer, I found I was asking people for help,” he says. So Simes decided that when he retired, he would learn more about computers and help others understand them better.

Even when it comes to AI search engines, the retiree stays up to date. They are, according to him, useful but only if you ask very specific information.

If you ask a general question, you might find yourself down a rabbit hole chasing things that had nothing to do with what you want.

In January 2026, the Ku-ring-gai council, an administrative region of the city of Sydney, awarded him the title “Local Citizen of the Year.” Dean is “the ‘go-to’ person for all tech issues,” says Mayor Christine Kay.

His involvement with Computer Pals also helps him stay active. He still drives and goes to the gym. “I suppose it stops me from being a couch potato,” Simes explains. “I don’t get too much time sitting twiddling my thumbs.”

Dean Simes shows that you are never too old to engage with new technologies. The same applies to many other areas. How about Dungeons & Dragons, for example? A game master decided to play a round with her family – and grandma quickly showed she knows what to do: A grandma proves to be the toughest member in her first adventure in Dungeons & Dragons, shocking the family

Crimson Desert saves your performance by making “useless” stuff disappear – Stranding players on a deserted island

In Crimson Desert, the developers have used many tricks to enhance performance. However, one of them is annoying the community considerably.

What is this trick? You don’t have to be a pro to know that video game developers use all sorts of tricks to improve their game’s performance. In Crimson Desert, this is particularly noticeable and annoying for players.

The developers make items and objects disappear in the game that are currently not relevant to the gameplay. Following the motto: Who needs useless stuff, items just disappear. But this annoys players now, as boats are not exempt from this.

A loyal horse doesn’t despawn:

Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert

Who needs boats?

What’s the deal with the boats? Among the useless objects that the developers make disappear when you aren’t looking, are boats. These are the same ones you can use to explore some of the outer islands in the southern sea of Crimson Desert.

On Reddit, a player experienced just that. He had taken a rowboat out to the sea to the islands. But just shortly after he got out of the boat, it had already disappeared.

He ended up stranded on the island and could only return to the mainland via fast travel. There he had to organize another rowboat and row to the next island. This game will probably repeat as long as there are islands to explore.

What do players say about the excessive measures? The fact that the developers make important objects disappear for players here, is really annoying them. Exploration is one of the most important features of Crimson Desert, and due to the developers’ disappearing act, players might lose their interest in boating.

As they write on Reddit:

  • Simulated_Simulacra: “A lot of things despawn way too quickly in this game.”
  • EatTheAndrewPencil: “I found a cute beagle with the prison warden in town and fed him some meat. I got his affinity up quite a bit. I left to get more meat, and when I came back, he was gone 🙁 I feel like if an animal has a decent affinity level, it shouldn’t despawn until the player hasn’t interacted with it for a while.”
  • Xephadrone: “I didn’t even know there were islands to explore, or boats for that matter. Quite cool.”
  • Dynamitrios: “Yeah, I had a rude awakening when I was rowing along the coastline to the east and looting beached boats. At the third cove, I turned around, boat gone. Had to climb the nearly 200 m cliffs just to go anywhere.”

The developers of Crimson Desert have probably gone a bit overboard at this point. Nevertheless, good performance is key to a successful open-world adventure like Crimson Desert. Instead of using a boat, you can also visit the islands by dragon: The dragon in Crimson Desert only obeys you for a short time, an item can change that

5 words from Stephen King were enough to make a scorned horror movie a worldwide hit

Directors who are at the beginning of their careers often have a hard time. In the case of Sam Raimi, it was Stephen King who helped make a now legendary horror movie famous.

If you ask horror fans today about their favorite movies, there’s a good chance that Evil Dead is among them. The film is known by its original title Evil Dead and was first released in 1981.

Today, the film is an absolute cult classic, which is largely due to its quirky humor and absurd level of violence. In fact, Evil Dead was on Germany’s list of youth-endangering media until 2016. Many of the effects look delightfully amateurish by today’s standards, but that adds to the charm of the film.

For director Sam Raimi, Evil Dead meant his breakthrough. However, the prospects seemed far from bright at first. What few can imagine today: No one wanted to see the film – until Stephen King came along.

The most recent installment of the Evil Dead franchise was released in 2023 and has also made it into our recommendations. Here you can see the trailer:

The Word of the Horror Master

What does Stephen King have to do with it? In a conversation with CinemaBlend, Sam Raimi talked about the influence of the famous author on his own work. It actually began right at the start, namely with the promotion of Evil Dead.

After the film was completed, Raimi took it to the Cannes Film Festival, where there is a film market. Typically, rights and licenses for the release of new films in various countries are sold there. According to Raimi, no one was interested in his work.

Until Stephen King suddenly appeared:

Stephen King happened to be in the cinema in Cannes at the film market. He saw the film and wrote a fantastic review for us in the magazine “Twilight Zone.” That was a huge honor for me because he was my biggest hero – and still is. He has had a tremendous influence on me.

Sam Raimi

At a time when VHS tapes were the common medium for home viewing, covers and especially the praises on them mattered a lot.

It was natural to use a statement from Stephen King and make it advertising for Evil Dead. Thus, a simple but very telling quote made its way onto the packaging:

“The most original horror film of the year.”

Five simple words that were absolutely enough to give Evil Dead the boost it needed.

What impact did King’s help have? The VHS quickly found its way into video stores in the USA, and soon the film spread worldwide and became a cult classic.

King’s praise was not unfounded. Evil Dead managed to go down in film history, despite a low budget of only about $350,000 according to IMDb – equivalent to about $1.3 million today, thanks to creative camera work and impactful, handmade effects.

To date, there have been four official sequels and the series Ash vs Evil Dead. Another film will follow in 2026. Besides, Evil Dead has become indispensable in popular culture, also due to the help of Stephen King. The success of the film is also founded in a place that is sadly vanishing today: Former video stores had a major advantage that Netflix or Amazon Prime will always lack

Over 10,000 players engage in the largest battle ever in EVE Online, destroying over 40,000 € in 24 hours

In EVE Online there was recently a great battle between two powerful alliances that even caused the servers to crash.

What kind of battle was it? In a battle unlike anything EVE Online has ever seen, over 10,200 pilots of the MMORPG fought in a single PvP battle last night.

While there have been large space battles with thousands of players in the past, this time there were so many that two world records from the Guinness Book of Records were even broken:

  • Largest PvP multiplayer battle in video games (previously 8,825 players)
  • The highest number of players competing in PvP simultaneously (previously 6,557)

However, the number was also too much for the EVE Online servers, causing the battle to feel more like a slideshow before the servers completely crashed in the evening and players struggled for hours to log in.

Select a MMO video…

Costly War

What did the fight cost? According to the battle report on WarBeacon.net, the fight lasted 11 hours, with 6,915 players participating directly in the combat actions. However, screenshots show more than 10,200 players, many of whom were acting as logistically support.

In the battle, 3,125 of the 6,915 ships were destroyed, leading to a damage cost of 8.4 trillion ISK. Converted to euros, the lowest estimate according to PlayerAuctions.com suggests this amounts to about €40,000. Other estimates come to much higher amounts.

Who was fighting? The battle involved two coalitions that have been hostile towards each other for years. The Empire of Goonswarm Federation and the WinterCoalition of Fraternity/Frat faced each other.

As is often the case in the struggles for supremacy in EVE Online, it was about territories and resources which the two rival coalitions wanted to secure. For now, the Goonswarm Federation Empire lost, having to forfeit their Keepstar in the battle.

The reason for the defeat was also the server, which allowed many players to participate in the combat with varying degrees of success. Even though the battle was lost, that does not mean that the players of the Empire are giving up; the war has likely just begun.

In EVE Online, there are always fights that destroy thousands of players and euros worth of resources. These epic battles characterize the MMORPG. Furthermore, politics play a bigger role in EVE Online than in many other titles: In the largest space MMORPG on Steam, a massive power struggle is currently underway that could change everything

A powerful hero challenges Superman after 50 years, becoming one of the strongest figures in DC

Not many characters can match the power of Superman. A previously underestimated character from DC now emerges from obscurity and threatens the entire universe thanks to a god complex.

Which character is it? Firestorm is a character created by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom that first appeared in a DC comic in 1978. The title: “Firestorm No. 1”.

The series was not particularly long-lived and was discontinued after five issues. Several years later, more comic series and appearances in shows followed. Overall, the character has remained somewhat under the radar to this day.

However, it is very exciting: Firestorm was created from the merging of two characters. In a failed experiment, a nuclear incident occurred in a lab. As a result, Professor Martin Stein and his physics student Ronald Raymond became a single entity.

Raymond was the body, while Stein provided the consciousness. In later versions of Firestorm, there have been different interpretations of the character, with various figures having used the identity.

A new comic series could finally make Firestorm popular again and demonstrate the true power of the character. For he can easily match Superman’s powers and even surpass them at times – making him no exception.

Start video
Superman – Trailer for the new film of the well-known superhero from DC

The Game with the Elements

Why is Firestorm so powerful? The central ability of the character is to change matter and elements. This gives him the means of a god to shape or destroy the world.

In the new comic series “The Fury of Firestorm” by Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre, it is already shown in the preview of the first volume that the character goes out of control.

In the story, Firestorm reaches a small town in Colorado and starts conducting experiments. He uses his abilities to change objects. Buildings are destroyed, matter is manipulated, and the residents, who soon resist Firestorm, are cruelly fused together.

It shows: Firestorm is out of control. To stop him, the military contacts Lorraine Reilly, who is called Firehawk and has similar abilities to Firestorm. She is to stop him. Whether that will succeed remains to be seen in the comic series.

What is certain is that Firestorm’s extremely powerful abilities pose a great threat to the DC Universe. Even Superman, who is often seen as a very strong hero, would likely have difficulty against the out-of-control Firestorm.

Perhaps the character will soon experience a second spring and appear in other media alongside the comic series. As a powerful antagonist, he would be an ideal candidate for future films or series. On MeinMMO, you can find more characters that surpass the Man of Steel: Superman is one of the strongest heroes in the universe, but 7 villains are even more powerful

One Piece announces a new series with building blocks, prevents a major mistake with 2 details

Alongside the many projects related to One Piece that are currently circulating, there will be a new series. As a hardcore fan, the announcement surprised MeinMMO editor Jasmin, but ultimately fortunately in a positive way.

In the MeinMMO editorial team, I am probably the biggest fan of One Piece. After all, I even have on the team page in my profile that I secretly dream of becoming a Straw Hat pirate. Accordingly, I read and watch nearly everything that appears related to the pirate adventure.

I was all the more excited when yesterday three new announcements about One Piece were made at hourly intervals. On the one hand, the release year for the 3rd season of the live-action adaptation was announced. On the other hand, there were new character images of the Straw Hats from the remake The One Piece.

As the last announcement, there was a new special about Lego and One Piece. Last year, several sets of LEGO depicting famous locations, such as the Baratié restaurant from the live-action adaptation, were released.

The trailer began with a camera sweep over the sea and through a shipping path. But even then, I started to sweat because as a hardcore fan I feared that I would not watch the special if it did a certain thing.

One Piece tells the same story again

Currently, fans have many opportunities to experience the story of One Piece completely from the beginning, and even more is coming:

  • It is possible to read the original story by Eiichiro Oda as a manga.
  • For those who prefer moving images, they can additionally watch the original anime.
  • Just recently, the German dubbing of One Piece was restarted from the beginning. Here, there are different names for the main characters and other minor changes.
  • The live-action adaptation of One Piece retells the story of Luffy and his friends from the start, only with real actors.
  • The remake of The One Piece aims to tell the adventures of the pirates completely from the start as well.

And unfortunately, my fear was confirmed, as the Lego series is also supposed to retell the adventures of the Straw Hat pirates from the beginning. Normally, I would have said that I would not watch another series that retells the same pirate stories, as much as I love them. 

But there are two details that save the special for me so that I will still watch it. 

First of all, I am glad that the adventures are told from Lysop’s perspective. The Straw Hat pirate is known in One Piece, especially at the beginning, as a liar and that he embellishes his actions more than necessary. Along with the Lego style, I can imagine that there will be funny situations here.

Secondly, this is only a two-part special and not a full-blown series. The experiences will only be told up to the encounter with Chopper, so until Drum Island. 

If there had been a full series, it would have been such a huge time commitment for me. But this way, one can indulge in the little special. The two-part special is set to premiere on Netflix exclusively on September 29, 2026.

What do you think of the Lego series? Will you watch it or are you not interested? Feel free to write it in the comments! Did you know that Lysop would originate from Africa in the real world and that Oda regretted his decision for a long time? The creator of One Piece made three Straw Hats Europeans and regretted his decision for 16 years

One Piece Anime Remake auf Netflix: Release, Trailer, and More in the Overview

One Piece is being completely retold as a remake, as a standalone anime on Netflix. All the previous information is provided by MeinMMO.

Update on April 8, 2026: We have updated the article with the latest trailer.

The most important information at a glance:

The anime will run under the name The One Piece. It is being produced by the Japanese animation studio WIT Studio. You might know it from series like Attack on Titan or Spy x Family. The anime was originally unveiled at Jump Festa 2024. The goal is to attract new viewers and excite old fans with a new interpretation.

The One Piece: The most important information about the anime remake

Release: When will the anime premiere?

Netflix has not yet announced a date for when the remake will be released. Rumors suggest that the series should start in 2026, but this period has never been officially confirmed. Therefore, you should be cautious in assuming that the remake could start in 2026.

Episodes: How many episodes will the anime have?

The original source material has over 1,000 episodes. It is not known how many there will be for The One Piece. However, the anime is supposed to be a complete remake and will start from the East Blue Saga. If the anime is well received, the series could “continue for a long time,” until the conclusion of the story.

The pacing should be even faster. The remake should showcase a flawless pace.

Trailer: Is there already a taste of the anime?

In the latest trailer from April 7, 2026, the Straw Hat Pirates and their new look can be seen. Unfortunately, the video is only 38 seconds long and even shows images that are already known. So there isn’t much new here.

Streaming Service: On which platforms can I watch the anime?

As the anime is a Netflix production, the series will exclusively air on this streaming service.

Dubbing: In what language will the anime be available?

There is currently no information about the voice actors. We can only assume that there will at least be a Japanese dubbing. What voices will be featured is unknown.

Story: What happens in the anime?

The One Piece is expected to cover the complete story of Luffy’s adventures and his journey to become the Pirate King. The manga by Eiichiro Oda serves as the source material. The biggest difference from the previous anime is likely the art style, which is said to be significantly more dynamic than the original. However, there will be more emphasis on the everyday aspects, such as how people live in the world.

In addition to the remake, Netflix has another project on One Piece in the works. Luffy’s adventure will also be portrayed by real actors. A second season is already on the way. All information regarding this can also be found on MeinMMO: One Piece Season 2: Release, Trailer and Cast of the Netflix series

Wow, MeinMMO suddenly looks different! We have a new design and hope you like it as much as we do

New colors, new logo, new ninja, and a new website layout – everything now looks different at MeinMMO! What changes for you is explained by MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya.

Dear community,

in the background, we’ve been working like little ninjas for months on a fresh coat of paint for MeinMMO, and today we proudly present the result! Please imagine grand fanfares and glittering confetti here, which we will still be finding in some corners of the website in 50 years.

In terms of usability, everything remains comfortably simple for you, but we can present everything to you in a much more varied way now. It’s already been a good six years since we made significant changes, and you could see that. Our site looked quite outdated, and we felt that the appearance was simply old-fashioned.

Furthermore, what is closest to our hearts visually was completely overlooked:

The people behind the screens who come together here every day to engage with games and their favorite nerd topics.

The focus should be on people

In the age of quickly generated AI content, one thing still holds true more than when MeinMMO was founded: Without people, we would have nothing to share and discuss. Since our roots lie in the MMORPG genre, the social aspect of gaming and community dynamics in reporting have always been important to us.

Don’t get me wrong, we also use AI in content creation as a tool. A prominent example: You can read the entire offering of MeinMMO in English, as the texts are translated using AI to connect us globally.

However, we love the stories of the people who develop games, play them, and exchange ideas about them online – and we enjoy telling those stories! The same goes for our own stories, which we experience with our nerd hobbies and hope they entertain you and add value to your everyday life.

We now have the opportunity to highlight quotes, individual people, or formats even more prominently. This is partly because we as an editorial team can now spontaneously redesign the homepage like a building block. This allows us to put individual articles, images, surveys, or even videos from the MeinMMO YouTube channel in the spotlight.

So don’t be surprised if the appearance of the homepage changes slightly spontaneously. Maybe even more so in the coming days because our web devs have handed us a new toy, and you know how it is with new toys…

An old legend returns

So, who of you has been around long enough to remember our first logo?

The logo and the little ninja next to it were created back then by our founder Dawid (with the few resources he had at the time). When MeinMMO was later bought by Webedia, we suddenly had completely different resources available, like a professional graphic designer. Convenient! The logo changed and became more professional over time. The ninja dissipated in a cloud of smoke and has since lived on only in the shadows.

When we started redesigning the website, we realized that we actually missed our ninja quite a bit. His old design might have resembled a ski jumper. But a mascot that watches over you from the shadows – that has something.

We quickly asked our graphic designer Jakob if he could give the ninja a fresh coat of paint, so we could bring him back out of the shadows. And boy, we liked the new design so much that he has now even become part of our logo again:

MeinMMO Ninja 2026
Old ninja, new attire.

Get ready to encounter this little ninja more often now. Our social media manager Sandra is already looking forward to letting him dart through our social channels on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads.

At the moment we call him “The Legend”, but he still lacks a proper name. Maybe you have some ideas? Feel free to share them in the comments! We might even do a community vote on this. We’re still a bit undecided on that.

A big thank you – also to you

Dear community, first of all, a big thank you to you!

To this day, I jump into the comment section with every article to see what your opinion is – about the topics, the articles, and videos. We ourselves have a lot of joy in shaping the site and its content. I am already super nervous to find out what you think of our new look.

Please write to us in the comments what you think of the new design! Do you find everything you need? Is there anything missing? Let us know.

At this point, I also want to thank the ninjas in the background:

Our web dev team, especially Steffi, Sebastian, and Ben, have gone through countless feedback loops with us and made the new design possible.

Our product manager Alex must not be forgotten, who collected every piece of feedback and translated between the editorial team and the web devs into the other language.

I already mentioned our graphic designer Jakob, but here too: honor where honor is due, and a big thank you for the fresh coat of paint. I really love our new ninja, but also the new colors!

My bosses Dawid and Rae have contributed a lot of input and questioned all our ideas again and again so that we could achieve a result that made all of us really happy.

I also want to say thank you to my entire editorial team, who fills the website every day with various content and continually brings cool ideas and stories. Without you, all of this would just be a (now really) beautiful but empty canvas. In terms of the redesign, an extra thank you to Lydia and Sophia from the editorial team, who secretly tested our new website again and again and found every possible and impossible error.

And so I will conclude with: Always good loot!

Your Leya

The dragon in Crimson Desert obeys you only for a short time, an item can change that

During the holidays and the long weekend around Easter, players worldwide made progress in Crimson Desert. However, now they are disappointed by one of the highlights in the gamebut there is a solution.

What are the players disappointed about? Crimson Desert was released 2.5 weeks ago and even though many players still seem reluctant to leave the starting area Hernand, there is already a number of players approaching the story’s end.

At a certain point in the game, players unlock the dragon, which the developers prominently featured in their trailer and fits perfectly with the main character Kliff as an overpowering being. However, the dragon is currently causing great disappointment among fans.

There is a cooldown that prevents Kliff from flying on the dragon continuously. This frustrates many players on Reddit, because for them it is clear: A single-player title does not need such cooldowns. But the community already has a solution.

Before you think about taming the dragon, you should first hop on the back of Rokade:

Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert

One step ahead

What kind of solution is that? While some players are frustrated about the cooldown, others have already recognized the developers’ intention. The cooldown for the dragon in Crimson Desert is actually not an annoying feature, but removable.

According to comments on Reddit, there are two ways to call the dragon without a cooldown. The inexpensive and simple option is using dragon horns. They reduce the cooldown by 10 minutes each, allowing you to quickly hop back onto the beast’s back.

However, the better method is “Narima’s Horn,” a sort of OP version of the dragon horn that completely removes the cooldown of the dragon when used. However, obtaining the horn is difficult.

How do you get Narima’s Horn? To obtain Narima’s Horn, you need to upgrade your camp, according to a guide from Reddit user Ivaurog, so that your faction members can unlock the exploration ability.

After that, you need to clear the area “Timeworn Ruins” in Crimson Desert from enemies and the resident boss. This is to ensure that you can now send your comrades on an exploration mission there.

Although this is very costly in terms of your camp resources, you are supposed to randomly receive the recipe for Narima’s Horn as a reward. However, the chances are said to be quite low according to the user, which is why he advises saving before completing the mission and loading if the item is not dropped.

The developers of Crimson Desert were once again a step ahead of the players and allow them to simply remove the cooldown for one of the most powerful beings in the game. The story of Crimson Desert is not a highlight for many players: “Kliff” reveals the truth of the story of Crimson Desert, explaining: Without him, it would have been even worse

Gamer plays ARC Raiders for about 400 hours, then understands through The Division 2 what the extraction shooter lacks

A gamer reports on Reddit that he has played ARC Raiders for about 400 hours and loves the extraction shooter by Embark. However, at some point, he felt that the gameplay loop was going nowhere, and thus played The Division 2 again. In Ubisoft’s loot shooter, he noticed what ARC Raiders needs to improve to be perfect.

This is the player’s insight: The player mainly discusses the endgame of both games on Reddit. Although The Division 2 is not a perfect game, it gives him the feeling of making continuous progress.

In ARC Raiders, it feels different to him. The endgame loop does not feel rewarding enough to maintain over time. The loot has no long-term value and is hardly significant, especially in the endgame.

If you have good gear in ARC Raiders, you are basically just playing to lose it and start over.

The gamer emphasizes that he knows both games belong to different genres and he does not want ARC Raiders to copy The Division 2. However, he is convinced that the game can learn some lessons from Ubisoft’s loot shooter.

ARC Raiders brings new Flashpoint update – there are rumors brewing in Speranza

A Learning Opportunity for the Success Shooter

What exactly can ARC Raiders learn from The Division 2? The biggest lesson is the core idea behind the endgame of The Division 2: As players, you always have a goal in sight and thus an activity. Everything you do gives you a form of progress and rewards you.

The Reddit user summarizes it very simply: “You always make progress, whether it’s with the build, the stats, the library, or just working towards something greater.”

The endgame of The Division 2 summarized in more detail

To put it more elaborately, the endgame of The Division 2 can be traced back to various pillars. You can:

  • Unlock all specializations and level their skill trees
  • Level the SHD clock to permanently improve your attribute stats, such as gaining 10% more damage, armor, or similar;
    • Goal 1: SHD level 1,000 to maximize all 4 fields in all 4 categories;
    • Goal 2: SHD level 2,000 to maximize health bonus
  • Create and maximize builds: There is a lot to consider and refine when it comes to builds. You almost always have something to work towards – especially if you want to create different builds.
    • Various aspects of build creation: set bonuses from manufacturers; talents; farming exotic, high-end, or named gear and weapons; attributes – it’s a long way to the god rolls
  • Library and expertise – By donating or actively using items, you increase expertise, enhancing the respective weapon or gear (such as increasing weapon damage)

Even if you don’t feel like farming items for your build or something similar, you make progress by simply playing the game, as you increase your SHD level or expertise, for example.

In ARC Raiders, there is no such system. You quickly finish the quests and expeditions and invest all available points in the skill tree or maximize workbenches. There is also no real build variety. Every player eventually reaches the point where there is no more progress and no more rewards to be earned.

What the community says about the Reddit user’s insight: Many players agree with the Reddit user. One comments that he wishes for more yield from the grind.

Another player writes that the “moment to moment” gameplay of ARC Raiders is brilliant, but the progress in many areas of the game is poor and the endgame is even “ridiculous.” Some players also write that they have been playing less and less in recent weeks and are gradually losing interest, even though they actually find the game great.

MyMMO editor Dariusz is also not interested in grinding in ARC Raiders. Instead, he recently focused on a test and asked other players for an unusual favor: I asked people if I could shoot them in ARC Raiders and the response outraged me as a professional gamer

Diablo 4 shows 12 minutes of gameplay for the first time in the new area of Lord of Hatred, letting the hero beat up an ugly creature on a ship

At the end of April, the second expansion for Diablo 4 will be released: Lord of Hatred. A new video now offers insights into the new area and the fresh enemy types. And to make matters worse, at the beginning … the greatest evil makes its appearance.

In Lord of Hatred, your hero sets off for Skovos – the new area from Lord of Hatred:

  • The Skovos Islands are located in the south of Sanctuary, a bit west of Nahantu.
  • They are oriented towards Greek aesthetics but also have an important lore background: On the islands, Inarius and Lilith spent a lot of time and created the first civilization in the time of the Nephalem. It is the oldest region of Sanctuary.
  • Players suspect that Skovos may be even 25% larger than Nahantu.

Even before you reach Skovos, Mephisto addresses you. Without Mephisto, the entire story of Diablo would not have come to pass. And in the second expansion, he will be the great rival you face. Blizzard promises that there will be no more open ends this time.

An exclusive 12-minute gameplay video from IGN now shows the first story boss and initial impressions of the Skovos Islands:

Skovos, new enemy types, and an “old friend”

What does the video show? The Paladin embarks on a ship towards Skovos alongside Lorath. In a cutscene, Lorath explains that he never expected to return and speaks about his connection to Adreona, the Amazon Queen of Skovos, whose help you will need.

After a conversation with a “Hand of Akarat,” the first battle breaks out: Creatures from the sea and giant crabs board the ship – enemy types that blend well into the setting.

On deck, Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred and the oldest evil, finally makes his presence known. He immediately makes it clear that he does not believe you will survive the upcoming events. Shortly after, the battle against the first story boss, the “Hateborn Abomination” (roughly translated as Hassgeborene Abscheulichkeit), follows. It is truly a loathsome creature from the sea with interesting attack patterns.

After the boss fight, you continue your journey after a short dialogue with Lorath. The video ends with a cutscene showing Skovos.

The Paladin met Mephisto already in his announcement trailer in his “new form”:

Start video
Diablo 4 shows its new expansion Lord of Hatred with Mephisto in the trailer

“The summoning of this boss is madness”

This is what fans say about the video: In the YouTube comments, the sequence of Skovos combined with the music is particularly praised. On Reddit, the new monsters are well received. And some players speculate whether the ship could serve as a base or if there could even be boats as new “mounts.” Many are also looking forward to new skill trees and fresh content in Diablo 4.

Some players complain that the story boss is too quickly defeated on “Hard” with a character at level 20 – even if the Paladin is currently the strongest class in the game and can nearly oneshot the hardest bosses in the endgame. On top of that, this is a pre-release version and not the “finished” DLC, which will be released on April 28, 2026. There may still be significant changes to the fights and balance.

Another cutscene recently released by Blizzard about Lord of Hatred also impressively shows how dangerous Mephisto really is in Diablo 4. In the dark trailer, you can see how he manipulates Lorath’s spirit and what cruel effects that has. And it is just as dark as one would expect from the big boss.
