Is Monster Hunter Wilds included for free in the Microsoft Game Pass?

Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Steam, PS5, and Xbox. But is the game included in the Game Pass at no extra cost? Many players hope to play Monster Hunter Wilds at no additional cost using the Game Pass.

Monster Hunter Wilds is not exactly cheap at 69.99 euros for PC and 79.99 euros for consoles (PS5, Xbox). Many therefore hope that the game is included in the Game Pass so they can play it at no extra cost. We’ll tell you about the situation of Monster Hunter Wilds in the Game Pass.

Monster Hunter Wilds is about to be released: Here’s what you should know before buying

Monster Hunter Wilds and the Game Pass

Is Monster Hunter Wilds in the Game Pass? No, at the current time (as of March 2025) it is not. If you want to play Monster Hunter Wilds, you must purchase the game either via Steam, in the PS Store for PS5, or for Xbox Series X/S. It is not known if Monster Hunter Wilds will come to the Game Pass.

If you want to play online on PS5 or Xbox, the respective online subscription is also required. All important information about the multiplayer and co-op of Monster Hunter Wilds can be found directly on MeinMMO.

Could Monster Hunter Wilds come to the Game Pass? This is actually not unlikely: Monster Hunter Rise was available in the Game Pass at release, and Monster Hunter World is now also included in the Game Pass. It could happen that Microsoft adds Wilds to the Game Pass later. At the current time (March 2025), however, this is pure speculation.

On which platforms is Monster Hunter Wilds currently available?

  • PC (Steam)
  • PS5, including “PS5 Pro Enhanced” mode
  • Xbox Series X/S

Where can you currently get Monster Hunter Wilds for “free”? If you buy a graphics card or processor from AMD, you can get a copy of Monster Hunter Wilds for free at certain shops. The downside: You have to purchase relatively expensive hardware (at least Radeon RX 7700 or Ryzen 7 7700) to receive a key. This offer is expected to run until May 23, 2025. The offer is available, among others, at Mindfactory.de.

This is what Harry Potter would be like if it were written the way you think Gen Z speaks

Harry’s name is cringe and Mrs. Dursley is a Karen. That’s how it is in a fan version that transforms Harry Potter into a text in the spirit of Generation Z – or at least their idea of how the generation speaks.

What is this text about? Every generation has its own way of speaking. Whether Boomers, Millennials or Generation Z, certain expressions are mainly used by a specific age group. However, people who do not belong to a specific generation tend to perceive this “generational slang” much more strongly than it actually is.

Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to the generation born approximately between 1995 and 2010. So members of this generation are now between 14 and 30 years old.

Some fans of Harry Potter “translate” the book series into the style of Generation Z, turning it into a kind of teenage comedy – because the translation is of course completely exaggerated and takes the “slang” of the generation to the extreme.

Teaser for the new ‘Harry Potter’ series evokes nostalgic feelings

Dursleys flexing, Harry with the Sigma grindset

The highlights of the Gen Z translation: We fought our way through some pages of the Gen Z translation and jotted down a few highlights for you. However, the project is in English, so we only selected excerpts that are sensibly translatable into German.

  • Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, liked to flex about how down-to-earth they were. Tbh, they were the last people you’d think would be sus. […] Mrs. Dursley was a total Karen and could never chill.
  • Lily Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sis, but Mrs. D ghosted her; irl (no cap), Mrs. D claimed to have no sister because Lil and her loser husband were just cringe.
  • Harry was in his Sigma grindset and woke up mega early the next morning. He knew it was bright outside, but he kept his eyes closed. “That was just a dream,” he said to himself. “I was definitely tripping because no way did a giant named Hagrid tell me I’m going to a school for wizards.”

If you understand English and want to take a look at “Gen Z Harry Potter,” you can find books 1, 2, and 4 on Github.

What do the slang terms mean? If you’re having trouble understanding the quotes from the Gen Z translation, we’ll help you out:

  • Flexing = showing off
  • Tbh = to be honest
  • sus = suspicious
  • ghosting = ignoring
  • irl = in real life
  • no cap = no lie
  • cringe = embarrassing
  • Sigma/ Sigma Male = confident, solitary man
  • Grindset = the mindset of “Sigmas” that prioritizes work and success, kind of like grinding; a mindset focused on the grind
  • safe = definitely, for sure
  • tripping = being high, hallucinating
  • no way = no chance, never

You will probably mostly hear these terms among members of Generation Z or young Millennials. However, there are also expressions that are primarily used by Boomers and that younger generations shake their heads at: 5 things that only Boomers say and Gen Z would never say

A Master Butcher Streams His Everyday Life on Twitch and 10,000 People Love It

On Twitch, a butcher streams his daily work. He cuts up meat, processes it further, and gives his followers recipe tips. MeinMMO introduces you to this unconventional Twitch streamer.

Who is it about? It is about the Twitch channel MetzgermeisterRoegele. There, he streams his daily life in the butcher shop, equipped with a microphone on his apron. He is already working and streaming in the early morning hours.

On Twitch, the master butcher has 10,535 followers, and his average viewership is 384 per stream (via sullygnome). He streams in the “Just Chatting” category, but the actual content is his work as a butcher.

The streaming platform Twitch is actually dominated by gaming content. In the video, we introduce you to three prominent German female Twitch streamers:

Master butcher expands content on Twitch

What are the contents of the streams? In his streams, Master Butcher Rögele gives an insight into his professional daily life. Live animals are never seen, only partially processed meat, which he then processes further.

Furthermore, he educates about the profession of a butcher and also shows how to clean his workspace properly in a butcher shop.

For a change and to encourage his community to donate, he organizes small challenges from time to time. If the audience supports him enough during the stream, Rögele has to undergo some challenges himself. This could be doing push-ups or eating Vienna sausages with Nutella.

On his YouTube channel, the master butcher uploads past streams from his Twitch channel and often elaborate recipes, such as a recipe for a traditional sauce for a Christmas roast.

Finally, Rögele also has his own online shop where he sells everything a butcher’s heart desires: including sausage, knives, or ragout. He also sells his own merchandise.

The world of content creators is a colorful mix. While gamers are very prevalent on the internet, skilled trades are also finding their place more and more.

Creators of ArcheAge and Lineage wanted to celebrate their greatest success with a new MMORPG, but that won’t happen

South Korean developer Jake Song has made a name for himself among MMORPG fans with ArcheAge and Lineage. The new ArcheAge Chronicles was supposed to be his biggest success yet. But that won’t happen.

Is ArcheAge Chronicles being canceled? No! The ambitious MMORPG from XL Games is still set to be released in 2026 for PC and consoles. Just without Jake Song as the lead developer. As reported by the South Korean website news.bizwatch.co.kr, the founder and former CEO of the studio is expected to leave the team after 22 years in January 2025.

No reason for the sudden separation is given in the report. However, it seems clear that General Producer Ham Yong-jin will now take over the development of ArcheAge Chronicles.

Here is the first trailer for ArcheAge Chronicles:

ArcheAge Chronicles: Trailer shows for the first time the successor to ArcheAge

What do I need to know about Jake Song? Many ArcheAge fans associate Jake Song with the main responsibility for the negative direction that the MMORPG has taken over time. He admitted several mistakes a few years ago that he had to take responsibility for as the head. With ArcheAge Chronicles, Song wanted to do better.

What is known about ArcheAge Chronicles? ArcheAge Chronicles is supposed to focus more on the Western market than its predecessor and therefore offer comprehensive PvE and story content that can be tackled alone or with small groups. The key features of the MMORPG are as follows:

  • Social and community features: Collaborate with other players and participate in a constantly changing world that creates a vibrant and dynamic player community.
  • An extensive open world: Explore a vast, interconnected world with diverse landscapes, from lush forests and arid deserts to bustling cities and treacherous seas.
  • Dynamic combat system: Experience a revamped combat system that combines strategic depth with fast-paced action.
  • Player-driven economy: Build and design homes and engage in crafting professions.
  • In-depth narrative: Embark on an epic journey with a rich story, deep lore, and engaging quests that unfold throughout the game.

PvP elements and large-scale battles in the open world, which were previously considered, are to be removed. PvP is primarily to be available in well-defined, competitive areas, for fixed teams and guilds.

Additionally, they plan to implement a Buy2Play model without Pay2Win, but with service elements. In other words: ArcheAge 2 should continue to generate revenue in the long term. Regular content updates are intended to attract players to the servers.

7 Villains from Animes That Actually Have Good Intentions

Many villains make it difficult for our beloved anime heroes. They just want to gain power or create as much chaos as possible. However, there are also villains whose motives we can definitely understand.

Which villains are we presenting here? In this list, you will find antagonists from animes who are held accountable for their actions. They are portrayed as villains and use unfair or brutal means to achieve their goals.

However, many of these goals are actually well-intentioned and serve a higher purpose. The antagonists often just use the wrong means to reach their target. Therefore, it is right that they were stopped – but it leaves a bittersweet taste, as their goal would benefit many. Without all the murders, fears, and nightmares, of course.

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, you should take a closer look at the following animes:

3 Animes that you should know as Harry Potter fans

Pain (Nagato)

  • Anime: Naruto
  • Goal: Peace in the world
Naruto Pain
Pain acts from a distance and controls multiple bodies.

Pain is the leader of Akatsuki, a criminal organization in Naruto. He aims to bring peace to the world. The trigger for this was traumatic experiences from his childhood. His parents died in the war, and his best friend, Yahiko, was lured into a trap when he only wanted to bring peace between the three great nations.

No wonder Pain wants to end the eternal war. However, his methods are extremely brutal: He wants to collect all 9 Bijuu and merge them into an ultimate weapon to pressure the world not to fight anymore. To do this, he must kill the Jinchuuriki, the human vessels of the Bijuu, to tear their demons from them. 

Even Naruto is to be stripped of his Kyuubi. However, in the end, he can convince Pain that he has taken the wrong path. He sacrifices his life to undo his actions.

Is Monster Hunter Wilds too easy? A creature with 6 tentacles is currently decimating hunters

For days now, parts of the community have been discussing whether Monster Hunter Wilds might be too easy. Now, various players’ experiences show that hunting monsters is far from a walk in the park for everyone.

Is Monster Hunter Wilds too easy? Exactly that is what parts of the community have been discussing for some time now. The starting point for this was, on the one hand, the experiences with the quasi-predecessor Monster Hunter World – which came across as significantly more accessible than previous parts. On the other hand, some reviews criticized the relatively easy difficulty level of Wilds.

And what are players’ experiences with the live version of Monster Hunter Wilds now? Well, just a few hours ago, for example, a post by PiFbg went live on Reddit, complaining: “‘The game is too easy.’ Please tell me I’m not the only one getting wrecked by ‘the thing with the 6 tentacles.’”

By the thing with the 6 tentacles, he certainly means Nu Udra, the Black Flame, which you can challenge in the Oil Spring Basin. You can read where to find and defeat the Black Flame directly on MeinMMO.

PiFbg explains in his post, by the way, that he would be facing the monsters so far without his Palico or support from other hunters. “Nu Udra would literally wipe the floor with him.”

  • lalune84 had a similar experience (via Reddit): “Yes, Cthulhu has hands, he was my first blocker in the game.”
  • Cerok1nk had bad news for PiFbg on Reddit: “Wait until you meet the Michael Bay Rathalos, who goes into Enrage three times in a row; the monster thinks it’s Goku or something.”
  • Mnawab finds Wilds much easier than Worlds (via Reddit): “I wasn’t particularly good at World, but I’m wrecking Wilds. Focus Mode and Focus Slash make it too easy now, lol. But who knows, I’m not at the endgame yet.”

Monster Hunter Wilds: Find and Farm Sharp Fang

Sharp fangs are needed in Monster Hunter Wilds for the first armors. MeinMMO explains which opponents drop the fangs. Currently, you can find the fangs from particularly 4 opponents in the game. The first monster with guaranteed loot encounters you already on the Windebene.

Sharp fangs are needed in Monster Hunter Wilds very early on to craft armor. For the Chata hip ring, one of the first armors in the game, you need a sharp fang. There are some low-rank monsters that drop sharp fangs in Monster Hunter Wilds.

MeinMMO explains where you can find the fangs and which opponent is particularly worthwhile to farm at the beginning of the game.

Who drops sharp fangs? As of now (March 2025), the following opponents drop sharp fangs:

  • Gajios (Windebene, Karminwald)
  • Talioth (Windebene) Piragill (Karminwald)
  • Kranodath (Oil Springs Basin)

If you want to craft the Chata hip ring right after hunting the Chatacabra, you will need a sharp fang. The beast Gajios on the Windebene is the best option here. Gajios guarantee sharp fangs as drops.

Gajios are part crocodile, part sawfish that inhabit the rivers of the Windebene and the Karminwald. Look for the crocodiles in the rivers of areas 8 and 10 on the Windebene and you should find several.

New mode in EA FC 25 causes frustration: “The perfect example of how not to care about us”

In EA FC 25, a new mode is causing frustration among fans. On Reddit, especially players with visual impairments are complaining that they are clearly at a disadvantage.

What is this new mode? As part of the new Fantasy FC event, there is a new cup for the friendly match mode in Ultimate Team. In this mode, you can earn rewards and season points (SP) for the Season Pass through games and victories against real opponents.

The matches are played according to the swap rules, meaning that at the beginning of the match, 3 random players are swapped among the positions. The swapped players receive a colored vest as a distinguishing feature.

Why is the mode causing frustration? The disadvantage is largely related to the appearance of the vests (orange and yellow), as the colors of the tops are said to be indistinguishable, especially for people with a certain form of color blindness.

This type of color blindness might be referred to as blue-yellow color blindness. You can find all information about this form and further explanations about color blindness on the AOK website.

Tips for a Perfect Start in EA FC 25 – Ultimate Team

Fan Accusation: “EA doesn’t care about color blindness”

What are color-blind fans saying about the new mode? On Reddit, two posts on this topic have gained a lot of attention. Both posts summarize their problem with the new mode in almost identical statements:

  • User Plastic-Win-6104 writes: “As a color-blind person, I cannot distinguish between the orange and yellow jerseys of the swapped players. I wish there was an option to have them appear in the normal jerseys.” (via Reddit)
  • User Jykae writes: “I am color blind and cannot see any color difference between my swapped players and my opponent’s. The mode itself is quite fun, but please just swap the jerseys too.” (via Reddit)

However, it seems that the problem does not only affect these two users with color blindness. Various players without impairments also report visual difficulties:

  • User DarthAnusCavity writes: “I am not color blind and I have problems. It is really a horrible decision to choose these colors.” (via Reddit)
  • User ThatFIFAscrub writes: “I’m not even color blind and I find it terrible. The swapped players not only have their vests but also wear completely different colored jerseys underneath. And then the referee wears orange, which matches the orange vests, damn, that’s awful.”(via Reddit)

Is there a solution to the problem? Another user asks in the comments if there would be no option for color blindness in the settings. In response, Jykae, one of the affected players, replies:

  • There are settings in the game for color blindness, but they only change the appearance of different colors. Actually useful settings for color blindness would be if users could use exactly the jerseys they want, in exactly the settings they want (no shadows in stadiums, no random day/night games, and especially the choice of referee jersey color). (via Reddit)

The problem would also exist in the jersey selection in the Squad Battles mode, as players could choose their preferred home or away jersey for their team at will, but would have to choose between 2 already set jerseys for the opposing team.

It seems that EA needs to readjust their support for color-blind players or generally make a clearer differentiation in the selection of jerseys and vests. At MeinMMO, we will definitely keep an eye on all upgrades and progress of the players from Fantasy FC: EA FC 25: Fantasy FC Tracker – Which players will receive the next upgrades?

Despite poor ratings, Monster Hunter Wilds has one of the best starts in Steam history

In recent days, all interested parties have been allowed to play Monster Hunter Wilds, and on the first Saturday, there was a historic success for the popular franchise from Capcom on Steam.

What kind of success is this? On Saturday, March 1, 2025, there were 1,384,608 Steam users online in Monster Hunter Wilds at the same time. This is not only a record for the entire Monster Hunter franchise but also one of the best launches on Valve’s distribution platform ever.

Specifically, Monster Hunter Wilds is now in 5th place on the All-Time Peak charts (via steamdb.info). Only Counter-Strike 2 (about 1.8 million), Palworld (about 2.1 million), Black Myth: Wukong (about 2.4 million) and PUBG (over 3.2 million) managed to attract more players simultaneously to their respective servers. Behind MHW are games like Lost Ark, Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring.

The decision by the Capcom executives to release the new Monster Hunter immediately on all major platforms has paid off. Monster Hunter World was released first on Xbox One and PS4 in January 2018. The PC launch followed only in August 2018 – with 334,684 concurrent active players at its all-time peak (via steamdb.info).

Here are some tips for getting started in Monster Hunter Wilds:

Many Players, Much Criticism

What do user ratings look like? While those for Monster Hunter World on Steam are “Very Positive” (with 89 percent positive reviews), Monster Hunter Wilds currently only holds a mixed “Balanced,” with 54 percent positive ratings.

Especially the technology and the multiplayer are under criticism.

  • Upitroma writes in his review on Steam: “Aside from the blatant performance and network issues, I don’t understand how you managed to make the multiplayer so bad after the release of Rise. When multiplayer works, it has the same problems as World, e.g. you have to start quests alone, find the target, watch a cutscene, finish the quest, and then join a friend to play together.”
  • Jay Strands summarizes in his review on Steam: “I love this game, but … in the technical state it is in, I simply cannot recommend it. Capcom needs to stop releasing their games in such a pathetic state. I will edit my review once the problem is fixed, but for now, it’s a disaster.”
  • UtilityWrench, on the other hand, stumbles over the copy protection – via Steam: “Thank you, Denuvo, for locking me out of my own game when I tried to fix its poor launch optimization and play it on the only computer I own.”

Diverse players who are spared from the technical problems and can cope with the quirks of multiplayer, meanwhile, celebrate the gaming experience and the improvements compared to Monster Hunter World.

Operator Egg-Kun writes on Steam for example: “The game builds on everything that was good about Monster Hunter Worlds. There were some technical bugs, but aside from that, this is a fantastic game.”

What do I need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds? In the new installment of the popular series from Capcom, you will encounter a dynamic world with a lively fauna, where you will deal with small and large creatures. You will have 14 weapons at your disposal to take down the various monsters.

You will be supported by your cat-like Palico as well as a Saikrii mount, which makes its premiere in the Monster Hunter series. Through hunting, you earn resources with which you can craft better and better armor or weapons. With those, you are then prepared for tougher challenges.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Finding Dragonite and the Best Locations

MeinMMO shows you where you can find Dragonite ore in Monster Hunter Wild and where there are good locations for the ore.

Dragonite is a material that you will particularly need later for upgrading your equipment. The advantage is that you can already gather the ore relatively early.

MeinMMO explains where you can find Dragonite and points out some meaningful locations. Particularly, 4 locations are especially worth it.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Finding Dragonite and Best Locations

Where can you find Dragonite? You can find Dragonite in the Oilwell Basin. You will also find Dragonite in the Iceshard Cliffs and the ruins of Wyveria. However, the Oilwell Basin is the most worthwhile as you can find relatively many mining nodes in one place, keeping the paths relatively short.

In addition to resource nodes, there are also optional quests that provide you with Dragonite as a “Target Reward”.

The best locations:

  • (Oilwell Basin) Location 4: Directly to the west and north of the number, you will find resources.
  • (Oilwell Basin) Location 6: Here you will also find two resource nodes located directly at the point.
  • (Oilwell Basin) Location 7: Another resource node directly at the location.
  • (Oilwell Basin) Location 13: Here you will find 4 resource nodes: Three directly east along the map edge and another one if you continue east down the narrow passage.

The 5 most powerful goblins in the history of World of Warcraft

Goblins steer the fates of the world in World of Warcraft. But do you even know the most powerful goblins of Azeroth?

Goblins are a race in World of Warcraft that mostly plays a minor role – at least in quests and stories. However, this hardly does the race justice, as the goblins have strong leaders and clever minds that often significantly shape the fate of Azeroth. Today, we take a look at the most powerful goblins that ever existed in the history of Warcraft.

When it comes to goblins, “most powerful” is a broad term and doesn’t necessarily refer to pure combat strength. Ingenuity or political skill can also define power.

3 absurde Bugs, die in WoW passiert sind

Marin Noggenfogger

Okay, that’s enough. I’m putting a bounty on you. ‘Clicky McClicker’ sleeps with the fishes tonight.

Most people probably know Marin Noggenfogger – whether they play Classic or the modern World of Warcraft. Because Marin Noggenfogger is the inventor of the famous Noggenfogger Elixir.

Actually, Blizzard turned him into a bit of a “meme”. Because the Noggenfogger Elixir can reduce fall damage or turn the character into a skeleton, granting underwater breathing.

WoW Mayor Noggenfogger sized
Marin Noggenfogger – with his legendary elixir.

The story is that Noggenfogger became incredibly rich because all players bought the elixir like crazy.

That it is more than just a meme became clear at the latest with the expansion “Legion”. Because Marin Noggenfogger appears again there and plays an important part of the “Uncrowned” – that’s the secret organization of rogues (whose order hall) that jointly steer the fate of the world and attempt to eliminate outside influences across faction lines – such as agents of the Burning Legion.

Even though Marin has not appeared much lately, he is still the leader of Gadgetzan and a notorious goblin, who will surely intervene in the fate of Azeroth again sooner or later.

Pokémon GO: Kyurem has the wrong move, trainers are confused

Currently, the GO Tour with the powerful Kyurem is running in Pokémon GO. However, some players seem to be experiencing a bug with the attack.

What is happening in Pokémon GO? This weekend, the worldwide Unova Tour in Pokémon GO is taking place. The star of the weekend is Kyurem, which is one of the most powerful Pokémon in the game with its two forms.

Through the fusion of Kyurem, players can obtain one of two strong attacks. It is important that the Kyurem being used already knows the attack “Glaciate.” When it is fused with Zekrom or Reshiram, one of the following two monsters is supposed to result:

  • The white Kyurem with the attack Frost Breath
  • The black Kyurem with the attack Ice Volt

Where is the bug? The strange thing is: Currently, some trainers seem to be experiencing an inversion of the attacks. A few players are also reporting issues with “Glaciate.”

Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful

Some Kyurem seem to have the wrong attack – What’s going on?

This is what trainers are reporting: On the subreddit “TheSilphRoad,” a few trainers report that they experienced errors.

One trainer showcased their black Kyurem, which for some reason had learned the attack Frost Breath instead of Ice Volt:

Link to the Reddit content

In the comments, a few other trainers also reported the same problem. However, the reason for this is still unknown. So far, these are isolated cases.

Furthermore, there seems to be a second problem. In principle, it is intended that one of the two Kyurem variants that can be caught during the GO Tour knows the attack Glaciate. To achieve this, you must defeat and catch the white or black Kyurem in raids. Important: Which version knows the attack Glaciate is determined by the path you choose at the beginning of the new special research for the event.

However, trainers are also reporting on Reddit that it does not always work. In those cases, the chosen version also does not know Glaciate, which is needed as a basis for the strong attacks of the fusion forms.

Here, trainers at least have a theory: The two Kyurem variants alternate hourly. For one hour, the white Kyurem is present in raids, and then the black Kyurem for the next hour, and so on. Trainers now suspect that the attack is not bound to the monster version but to the hour in which you catch it (via Reddit). If that is the case, Pokémon for which the raid extends beyond a change of hour would not possess the special attack.

Whether this is actually the case is currently still unclear. As of now, Niantic support has not released anything on the subject. Should that change, we will keep you informed.

GO Tour continues: The GO Tour runs until Sunday evening at 6:00 PM. So there is still time to catch Kyurem and enjoy the other event content. What do you think of the event so far? Let us know in the comments. And if you want to know what is actually planned for today: Here you can find all the content from Day 2 of the GO Tour: Unova.

Developers of Monster Hunter Wilds Warn About Bugs That Can Undermine Your Hunter

Through the official channels, the developers of Monster Hunter Wilds have warned in recent hours about errors that could cause you to miss important features or improvements.

What are those errors? Through the account “Monster Hunter Status” on X, there have been multiple warnings in recent hours.

  • When visiting the forge, there may be an error that repeatedly displays instructions for upgrading weapons. This has in turn disabled certain options in the menu – via X.
  • Although players meet the requirements with their hunter, they cannot unlock important features related to cooking meals and obtaining ingredients – via X.

Those affected by the bugs may find themselves in a situation where they cannot optimally upgrade their weapons or where it is unnecessarily difficult to obtain useful buffs through food.

They are currently preparing for the release on all platforms. The developers also advise ensuring that you have the new update installed before you go hunting again.

What do I need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds? It is the second installment of the popular series from Capcom, following Monster Hunter World from 2018, that is being released for the most powerful platforms from the start.

You’ll encounter a dynamic world with a vividly animated fauna, where you’ll deal with small and large creatures. You have 14 weapons at your disposal to take down the various monsters. You will be supported by your cat-like Palico and a Saikrii mount, which makes its debut in the Monster Hunter series.

Through hunting, you earn resources that allow you to craft better armor or weapons. With these, you will be better prepared for tougher challenges. An overview with all the information can be found here: Release, platforms & crossplay – Everything about the new Monster Hunter Wilds

Blizzard admits that they nerfed a vendor in Season 7 of Diablo 4 too much

While the curiosities dealer was once a great place for the best loot in Diablo 4, visiting in Season 7 is hardly worth it anymore. Blizzard now admits that the nerf was probably too harsh.

What is wrong with the dealer?

However, the nerf was so severe that the dealer became completely uninteresting for many players. Instead of trying their luck gambling, many advised to farm loot in the “Witch Tides” and spend the Obols on “Whispering Keys”.

Tochter löscht alle Diablo 4-Charaktere ihres Vaters

What does the developer say? In a Q&A on YouTube, game designer Aislyn Hall admits that they may have overdone it with the adjustments in Season 7. They are trying to balance the game economy to feel satisfying, but in this case, they “clearly overshot their target”.

The team wants the dealer to be fun and worth visiting. Those spending their Obols should leave the dealer feeling satisfied – and hopefully with some cool items. They also want to ensure that the gambler’s treasure rooms are once again filled with wondrous items.

Whether and when Blizzard will specifically buff the curiosities dealer is not revealed by Aislyn Hall. However, it sounds like the team is at least considering a buff. In the upcoming patch 2.1.3, he is not mentioned yet. Instead, several classes, many witch powers, and an unpopular shrine will receive a buff:

The curiosities dealer is currently no longer a good source for Mythic Uniques. However, some cool new treasure goblins are coming to Diablo 4 soon, providing you with gold, materials, and even Mythics. Although they are introduced as part of an event – they are allowed to stay afterwards.

Pokémon GO: Black or White Kyurem? How strong are both forms

In Pokémon GO, you can get the new versions of Kyurem. The white and the black Kyurem. And they are quite powerful.

How do you get the black and white Kyurem? Both new variants of Kyurem are part of the worldwide Einall tour that takes place this coming weekend.

  • Both variants appear in 5-star raids.
  • If you defeat them, you will receive fusion energy.
  • If you have enough fusion energy, you can fuse Kyurem with Zekrom or Reshiram.
  • This way, you will obtain the white or the black Kyurem.

Some trainers already have the monster, as the local variants of the GO Tour took place last weekend in Los Angeles and New Taipei.

Thus, information about the monster is already available. And it is clear: Both variants are quite strong.

How strong are Kyurem White and Black in Pokémon GO

What makes the monsters special: Both variants of the Pokémon are Dragon and Ice type monsters. This makes them powerful counters against other dragon Pokémon. Both have their own special Ice-type move.

  • White Kyurem learns Ice Breath
  • Black Kyurem learns Ice Volt

How strong is Kyurem in raids? Here both forms can be summarized, as: Currently, white Kyurem and black Kyurem will be the new top Ice-type attackers. According to the database from Pokémon GO Hub, Kyurem White ranks at the top of the best Ice attackers with the moves Ice Fang and Ice Breath. Kyurem Black follows closely behind with Dragon Tail and Ice Volt. It has the disadvantage of not having an Ice-type fast move.

Pokémon GO Kyurem 2025
The black and the white Kyurem in Pokémon GO

How strong is Kyurem in PvP? Both Pokémon can also impress significantly in the PvP battle league. This is pointed out by the database from PvPoke.

  • Black Kyurem ranks 2nd in the Master League. It uses the moves Dark Claw, Ice Volt, and Fusion Bolt.
  • White Kyurem, on the other hand, relies on Ice Fang, Fusion Flare, and Ice Breath. This gives it 5th place in the league.

Stronger is only Palkia in its original form when looking at black Kyurem. White Kyurem, meanwhile, is also outclassed by Zygarde in its optimal form and Solgaleo.

But, one can definitely summarize: Both variants of Kyurem are among the best Pokémon you can get in the game. This applies to raids as well as PvP. Therefore, one should try to secure a strong specimen this coming weekend.

Or you can fuse one of your old Kyurem with Zekrom or Reshiram. However, keep in mind: You still need the fusion energy. Therefore, you cannot avoid the raids. Speaking of raids: This week features a lot of legendary raids, as the Way-to-Einall event is happening this week in preparation for the Einall tour.

Pokémon GO: Fusion with Kyurem – Everything you need to know

In the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova, you will encounter Kyurem. You can fuse it with Reshiram or Zekrom to receive the white or black Kyurem. However, there are several things to consider.

The fusion of Kyurem, Zekrom, and Reshiram is one of the central features of the global Unova Tour in Pokémon GO.

Since there are two different versions, along with aspects like special backgrounds and unique attacks, we summarize the key points for you here.

[toc]

How do I obtain the black and white Kyurem?

Collecting fusion energy: You will encounter the fused forms, the black and the white Kyurem, in the raids during the GO Tour, but you can only catch the regular Kyurem at the end of the raid. Additionally, you will receive fusion energy in the raids — Volt energy for black Kyurem and Flame energy for white Kyurem. Currently, you can obtain up to 150 energies per raid — the faster you are, the more you get.

These Pokémon are required: For the black Kyurem, you need Kyurem and Zekrom, for the white, you need Kyurem and Reshiram.

What is the cost of the fusion?

  • Black Kyurem requires 1,000 Volt energies, Kyurem, and Zekrom, along with 30 Kyurem candies and 30 Zekrom candies.
  • White Kyurem requires 1,000 Flame energies, Kyurem, and Reshiram, as well as 30 Kyurem candies and 30 Reshiram candies.

What stats does the fusion get? Currently, the fused Kyurem takes on the stats and things like the shiny status of the Kyurem you use for the fusion. Reshiram or Zekrom are irrelevant in this regard. So use a strong Kyurem.

Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful

Special attack in the fusion – what you need to consider

Black and white Kyurem can each master a special attack.

  • Black Kyurem can master Frost Volt.
  • White Kyurem can master Frost Breath.

These attacks also provide adventure effects that facilitate catching Pokémon. You can read more about the adventure effects here.

This is important: Your fused Kyurem will only receive its special attack if the Kyurem used for the fusion knows the move “Icy Wind” beforehand. You must pay attention to this. To influence it: Through the path choice for the Unova Tour, you decide which Kyurem raids will give you the attack.

Special backgrounds for Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem

All three Pokémon can have special backgrounds if you catch them in raids during the tour.

  • Reshiram can have a Pokémon Black background.
  • Zekrom can have a Pokémon White background.
  • Kyurem can get either of the two.

If you fuse the monsters, you can receive a special background by mixing the backgrounds. For example, Reshiram with a Black background and Kyurem with a White background, or Zekrom with a White background and Kyurem with a Black background.

Caution when dissolving the fusion – New fusion is expensive!

What you need to consider: The defusion of a fused Kyurem costs nothing, but fusing it again requires all the resources you used the first time. Since this is an immense amount of fusion energy, you should avoid dissolving a fusion as much as possible.

Additionally, it currently seems that after defusion, Kyurem suddenly no longer knows “Icy Wind,” but another attack instead. This is not good either. So avoid defusion if possible.

All contents of the GO Tour: In addition to Kyurem, many other things are happening this weekend. There are rotating habitats, regional monsters in eggs, a special research task, and many other features. Also, costumed Pikachu or various Sawsbuck are on the move. Want an overview? We have it for you: Here are all the contents of the GO Tour.
