However, some players hardly use the Route feature or possibly not at all. That’s why we’ll show you again here how it works and what bonuses you get during the Kalos Tour.
Select a MMO video…
What do Routes bring during the Kalos Tour?
The Routes bring some bonuses during the Kalos Tour. You should keep the following in mind:
You will receive Zygarde Cells on up to 25 Routes per day. They are otherwise very rare.
You will also encounter Mateo on up to 25 Routes per day.
You will find increased Flabébé on Routes. Here, the variants Red, White, and Orange are available.
Whether there are additional bonuses or if the Routes will become part of research remains to be seen.
How do I use Routes in Pokémon GO?
You can find nearby Routes as follows.
Activate the Nearby view at the bottom right of the game screen
Scroll right to the Route tab
There you will see the number of Routes nearby. Click on it to view the starting point.
Visit the starting point and spin the PokéStop.
Follow the Route to the last PokéStop, and click on End Route once the pop-up appears.
Collect each Zygarde Cell along the way. They usually appear at the end of the Route, but keep an eye out.
Alternatively, you can also use the Campfire app to find additional Routes, should there be none in the immediate vicinity.
The Kalos Tour is the grand finale of the current season under the theme Valuable Paths. For one weekend, Pokémon GO will go all out again before the season concludes. However, a new season is already on the horizon. It starts in March. What you can expect in the next season of Pokémon GO is described here.

Bungie’s new game has kicked off a server slam, and with it, the first opinions on Marathon are rolling in. What the community thinks about the game, you can find out here.
How is Marathon being received? Very differently. Many small groups have formed in the community, each representing different opinions. These include:
Those who are already celebrating the game but noting some issues
Those who can’t make anything of Marathon
Those who are tearing the game apart
Those who are complaining about the haters
Through the server slam, interested players can now try out the game and form an opinion for free. With ARC Raiders in tow, there is also another title with which Marathon can be compared. Many opinions are thus flowing in on Reddit and sparking discussions.

Many fans are intentionally giving Marathon no chance
What are fans discussing? One of the largest threads on Reddit regarding the server slam comes from user spectre15, who addresses an issue within the community. For him, it is one of the most miserable open betas he has ever played, and the fault lies not with Marathon, but with the community.
For him, constructive criticism is legitimate, especially when it comes to helping Marathon improve. However, what he sees is not help, but whining, and not even about the game itself. With over 1,000 upvotes, other fans agree with him.
MeinMMO author Dariusz has also played it and gathered his impressions for you:
In chats of various Twitch streamers, the game is given little chance. There are doubts as to why the respective content creator is even taking the time for the shooter.
nve729, however, does it differently. He shared his opinion in a separate post on Reddit. The shooter feels “wrong” for what it promised. There are far too few PvP conflicts, maps are empty, and the real danger only comes from the NPCs. The UI is also somewhat unusual. For him, at the moment, the shooter is a disappointment and does not meet the hype he expected. With over 1400 upvotes, many users agree with nve729.
On the other hand, spectre15 played the server slam with two other players from ARC Raiders and they were thrilled. The shooter feels good, the world looks cool, and the fights are more exciting because everything takes place in first-person.
So it’s clear: the opinions could not be more different.
It remains to be seen how Marathon will perform at the full release. ARC Raiders also faced criticisms back then, as the genre around extraction shooters is controversial.
Many believed that the shooter from Embark could only fail, yet months after its release, fans rush to Speranza and are thrilled with the experience that ARC Raiders can offer. Marathon could achieve this too and position itself in a niche more suited for PvP enthusiasts, because one thing is clear – there are hardly any friendly interactions in this dystopian world.
On the evening of February 26, the Server Slam of Marathon began, and MeinMMO editor Dariusz jumped straight into the new shooter from Bungie. Here’s how his first rounds went.
At the start of Marathon, I was initially met with a surprisingly long intro sequence, followed by a brief tutorial. It was once again made clear to me that I really find the art style of the game fantastic. It’s a great change from the gray-brown-green tones of most shooters.
After the tutorial, I played for a few hours and got a first impression. I would like to tell you about my first three rounds.
However, keep in mind that during the Server Slam, we only play a limited selection of the content. My full preview report will accordingly be available only at the full release of Marathon.
Who is writing here? Dariusz is a shooter fan through and through and has thousands of hours in various games. He plays everything the genre has to offer: Battlefield, Borderlands, Rainbow Six: Siege, Valorant, Destiny, Call of Duty, Warframe… If it has guns, Dariusz is in. This also applies to extraction shooters like ARC Raiders and Marathon.
A mistake that almost cost the run
I played my first round in Marathon with two randoms, but without any communication. I looted stuff I had no idea whether it was useful or useless and shot down a few UESC robots. Then I completed my first mission and followed my randoms who were still working on a quest.
A few minutes later, my unknown teammates wanted to head to the extraction point, but I briefly glanced into that one room… briefly. Let’s put it this way:
“Briefly” turned into anything but.
Somehow it kept going deeper, and suddenly I was standing in a kind of underground complex. It wasn’t huge, but it had enough loot to keep me occupied for a few minutes. That took a bit longer than I expected, and the resulting battles with the robots showed me that I definitely brought too little ammunition.
After that, we finally headed toward the exit, where we encountered other players for the first time. My mates opened fire, and someone died – but apparently both teams extracted together… without me.
When I arrived, everyone was already gone. Unfortunately, an extraction in Marathon means that the exit is now closed. Under time pressure, I sprinted to the next extraction point, where I was downed by a robot with a shield because I only had ammunition left for my pistol.
The good news: Even in Marathon, you can escape while lying on the ground – I count that as a successful run.
Start video
Bungie presents Marathon in the launch trailer
A quiet start, with hope for the future
I played my second and third rounds with my buddy Jacob, who has much more experience in extraction shooters due to Escape from Tarkov than I do.
We stuffed our pockets with loot again, of which we still didn’t know how useful it was, and both completed a mission. By the way, it’s really cool that we can see and track our teammates’ missions.
As we headed to the nearest exit, we encountered a team of other players who were about to extract. I opened fire, Jacob – who was also suffering from ammunition shortage now – flanked from the left, and UESC robots attacked from the back, shooting at both teams.
In the chaos, an enemy was taken down, whose ammunition reserves we urgently needed. Unfortunately, the NPCs don’t drop any ammunition. After that, we extracted and started the next run. This one would offer much more PvP than the previous ones.
In my third round, we immediately focused on our missions, but while we were working on Jacob’s next quest, an enemy team appeared. We fought, but as soon as the opponents were shot, they took cover and healed themselves. One of them was constantly sitting on the roof of a building.
This became too stupid for us after a few minutes.
I provided cover for Jacob while he ran to our enemies’ building and pushed the opponent on the ground floor. Then I followed and took down a runner on the top floor. Finally, we took out the enemy on the roof.
While extracting, we briefly fought against a new team, but since we could escape safely, we did just that – our bags were full anyway.
The big question that hung like a giant billboard before my inner eye and shone brightly was:
Is Marathon good enough to be a serious competitor to ARC Raiders?
After my first three rounds, I am convinced that this is the wrong question. Marathon is, like ARC Raiders, an extraction shooter, but both games fundamentally play differently and target a different core audience.
ARC Raiders focuses on PvE, with PvP as a backdrop to create additional threats and tension.
Marathon focuses gameplay on PvP, with different classes and abilities. The NPC opponents are lore-relevant but have been rather secondary in battles so far.
Marathon is the perfect game for everyone who enjoys PvP in ARC Raiders but gets hated comments and insults from the PvE community.
In my first three rounds, no one used the voice chat. There was no sign of a “Don’t shoot” or “I’m peaceful”. No questions were asked, but shots were fired directly – not just from us.
Furthermore, Marathon leaves a good impression. The performance is good, the art style is awesome, the gunplay is successful, and overall the game has a cool atmosphere. I had no technical problems and the servers were stable.
MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes loved to play pranks on his little sister as a child. With one of the simplest pranks, he ruined for her one of the best moments you can have with a Pokémon.
As a child, I often played pranks on my little sister. These included the typical hiding and scaring, but also some more elaborate pranks. In retrospect, I don’t even know why I did that, but it was probably some subconscious brother thing.
When she played Pokémon LeafGreen for the first time, I simply couldn’t help myself. I spoiled the first evolution of her Squirtle with just one wrong tip.

The most beautiful moment of any game
Which button is it? One of the most beautiful moments, especially as a child, is in Pokémon games when you evolve your starter. Back then, there was no widespread internet reporting, so you often didn’t know what the cute Squirtle or Charmander would turn into.
The games themselves celebrate this with a beautiful animation. However, if you press B in FireRed and other titles in the series, this is stopped and the Squirtle stays a Squirtle. As mean as I was, I told my sister that you MUST press B for it to evolve.
She believed me, as I had more experience in the game. But she quickly realized that I had lied to her. Of course, the Pokémon evolves again at the next level-up, but trust was forever broken – at least when it comes to Pokémon games.
But, it can also be worthwhile not to evolve a Pokémon: While Pokémon usually get better stats upon evolution, if you want to use a certain attack earlier, it might be worth evolving it later.
For instance, Squirtle learns Hydro Pump at level 47 in the 3rd generation (Source: Pokewiki), while Blastoise learns it only from level 68 (Source: Pokewiki).
If you plan to do something like that, it’s better to use a Everstone. If a Pokémon holds this item, it won’t evolve every level. In some titles of the franchise like Pokémon GO, Legends Arceus, or Legends Z-A, you need to actively select evolutions in the menu once the requirements are met.
The Sauercrowd has already achieved its actual goal in WoW Classic, but there is still to be a final raid. A Twitch streamer is already saying goodbye to the guild.
Who is this streamer? Lars alias “Pummelfee86” comes from Bremen and has been streaming on Twitch since April 2021. When three Twitch streamers Metashi12, HandOfBlood, and Papaplatte launched the Sauercrowd event in WoW Classic in December 2025, he was one of the first to come on board.

Now Pummelfee86 is leaving the event: In a short clip that captures the moment (you can see this on sauercrowd.gg), you can see how the streamer says goodbye live on camera – even while his character is being attacked and is about to die.
“Now we’ve done it,” says the streamer and thanks everyone for the event: “So I’m out as far as Sauercrowd is concerned.” He thanks especially the two streamers HandOfBlood and Exsl95 (pronounced “Axel95”), who brought him into the event.
It was definitely a great time, it was fun, met cool people. But for me, the project is now over.
What’s next for Sauercrowd? Actually, the project is already over, as the goal that was set at the beginning has been achieved. The goal was to master the raid “Molten Core” – and that has been achieved.
However, the event is not completely over yet, explains HandOfBlood. On March 1, 2026, Sauercrowd will start a final raid, namely the level 60 raid “Onyxia’s Lair”. In it, participants will first fight through the home of the black dragon before confronting him directly in the end.

According to steamdb.info, New World still has around 1,000 players daily (as of February 27, 2026, at 10:40 AM). The player numbers on consoles (PS5 and Xbox) are not known, however. Now, the developers want to release a series of updates aimed at improving the grind for players.
These will be released in March, April, and May 2026. Each of these updates is intended to bring improvements for the remaining players, so they can enjoy their last days in Aeternum.
In October 2025, New World experienced a significant upswing with the Nighthaven update. MeinMMO expert Karsten Scholz analyzed the brief success:
Start video
MeinMMO at GameStar News: Our MMORPG expert analyzes the current success of New World
Finally, broken Steam achievements are being distributed
What does the update in March bring? With the first part of the updates in March, the developers want to fix a bug that prevented some players from receiving achievements on Steam.
Additionally, all transmogrification equipment will be unlocked, and players can now own up to 30 equipment sets. The catch is that 27 of these sets still need to be purchased with real money.
Furthermore, the transfer to other regions will be implemented. Until now, the token for server transfer cost around 15 US dollars. Whether the new transfer is now free is not known.
Many improvements in April for New World
What does the update in April bring? The second update increases some limits of game systems so that the remaining players can grind even more. For example, the gold limit for casual traders will be increased from 500,000 to a whopping 10 million.
Besides the maximum gold, the progress for better gear will also be made easier. With Umbral, armor values can be improved, which will also receive a higher limit starting in April. Similarly, the maximum Gypsum will be increased, with which additional equipment chests can be obtained.
Players see hardly any reason to grind: Most players enjoy grinding MMORPGs when they know that their progress will remain in the vast online world. In a dying MMORPG like New World, many see no reason to continue playing:
The update in May is not supposed to be the last one
What does the update in May bring? The last announced update is supposed to increase another limit. The mutations dungeons are among the most challenging content in New World. However, players only had a limited number per week to obtain loot, such as the Umbrals. This limit will be increased to 100 dungeons per week in May.
There is also news for solo players. The Soul Trials, a solo PVE instance, can finally be challenged every 6 hours. There, you defeat various bosses to earn legendary loot.
Why is this not supposed to be the last update? The developers added to the message on Discord that they want to continue responding to player feedback. This is intended to further enhance the last months of New World.
All these updates are nice, but they could have perhaps contributed to attracting more active players if they were implemented earlier. MeinMMO author Nico is also saddened by every news regarding the death of New World, as it was one of the best MMORPGs for him, despite some flaws: Amazon’s first MMORPG for Steam is considered a disappointment, but one thing was perfect

For three days, the four Twitch streamers Varion, Chefstrobel, Zarbex, and Trymacs locked themselves in an apartment to play Pokémon Heart Gold together. During the LAN, they played against each other in teams of two.
What kind of challenge is this? From Tuesday, February 24, to Thursday, February 26, Trymacs, Chefstrobel, Varion, and Zarbex spent time together in an apartment where they held a Pokémon LAN. In teams of two, Varion and Chefstrobel against Trymacs and Zarbex, they played a Soullink in Pokémon Heart Gold against each other.
A Soullink is a special challenge of the Pokémon community that follows certain rules, including:
On each route or in each city, only the Pokémon encountered first may be caught and added to the team.
Defeated Pokémon are considered deceased and may no longer be used.
The Pokémon of the two team partners are linked. For example, if Chefstrobel’s Pokémon dies, the linked Pokémon of Varion also dies.
If one loses all 6 Pokémon in battle and consequently faints in the game, the challenge must be restarted for that team.
The goal is to progress further in the game than the opposing team.

Good luck, but also a lot of skill
How did the LAN go? In total, the four Twitch streamers played Pokémon Heart Gold for over 50 hours (Source: SullyGnome.com).
Chefstrobel and Varion had to restart their run relatively early when Chefstrobel fell to a trainer who sent Metang and Meowth into battle. However, the restart didn’t set them back too far, and they still had a neck-and-neck race with Zarbex and Trymacs.
Overall, Trymacs and Zarbex had simply more luck with the Pokémon they were able to secure for their team. For example, Trymacs got the Pokémon god itself, Arceus, for his team. At the same time, the Zarbex-Trymacs team also recorded more Pokémon deaths: Trymacs ultimately had 4 on his conscience and Zarbex even 11.
Varion and Chefstrobel played more cautiously, probably because they had less luck with their team. However, the opposing trainers were somewhat kinder with their Pokémon, so Varion and Chefstrobel had a slightly easier game. Nevertheless, the Varion-Chefstrobel team recorded a total of 11 deaths: 5 for Chefstrobel and 6 for Varion.
How did the LAN end? In the end, Trymacs and Zarbex came out on top. They managed to progress further than Varion and Chefstrobel, but only by a narrow margin.
Varion’s luck completely ran out against the first member of the Elite Four when a Giratina appeared as the first Pokémon, causing Varion to lose a Pokémon. The subsequent Pokémon were not any easier, which is why Varion and Chefstrobel failed against the first member of the Elite Four.
Zarbex and Trymacs managed the first battle, which crowned them the winners of the challenge. Both teams tried to progress as far as possible for fun, but ultimately fell to a member of the Elite Four.
Towards the end, Chefstrobel and Trymacs got into an argument. Trymacs accused Chefstrobel of cheating.
While the Twitch streamers are in important battles, such as against gym leaders or rivals, there is a rule to switch their own chat to emote-only. This way, viewers can no longer give tips, but can only send emotes in the chat.
Although Chefstrobel adhered to this rule, he had Trymacs’ chat open on his second screen. Trymacs noticed this and yelled at Chefstrobel, who responded.
Chefstrobel urged Trymacs to realize that he was currently yelling at him in front of several tens of thousands of viewers and what consequences this could have. In previous streams, Trymacs’ accusations had led to Chefstrobel receiving private messages on Instagram from people repeating Trymacs’ allegations.
Bill Gurley has been active in Silicon Valley for nearly 3 decades. In an interview, he explains what the biggest risk for a job is and why knowledge with AI can be a real “superpower.”
Who is speaking? Bill Gurley is an American venture capitalist and is considered an influential figure in Silicon Valley for nearly three decades.
In an interview with TechCrunch magazine regarding his new book “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” he talked about current jobs and especially the impact of artificial intelligence.
And according to him, AI is not the biggest risk for a job, but rather going “safe” and avoiding risks.
Select a MMO video…
Secure jobs could disappear, knowledge with AI as the new “superpower”
Bill Gurley argues that classic “secure” career paths lose stability in the age of AI because roles change or disappear rapidly due to AI. The traditional paths will become generally less interesting for employers:
If you follow the traditional path – contacting your university’s career center, signing up on a list, and waiting for a recruiter to screen 30 people in 20-minute slots – you look like a cog in the machine. You appear like a mass product. For this group, AI seems frightening, and perhaps it should be.
Gurley explains that instead, one should also take certain risks: One should take responsibility and deliberately place themselves in an environment with a high learning curve and uncertainty. Because the pure feeling of security that you currently have a comfortable and secure job can quickly become a problem: Because those could be exactly the jobs that might disappear long-term due to AI or restructuring.
Another recommendation from Gurley is that one should not be afraid of AI, but take it seriously. Because those who invest time and education in artificial intelligence now will have a significant advantage in the later professional world, which he himself refers to as a “superpower”:
Never before in history has learning been as easy as it is today. If you’re aiming to become the most AI-aware person in your field, this thing is nothing short of a superpower.
Inuyasha is one of the most well-known animes that aired during midday on RTL2. Unfortunately, viewers never got to see the grand finale back then, but now fans can catch up on a streaming service.
Where can you currently watch Inuyasha? Anyone who wants to catch up on all the episodes of Inuyasha can currently do so on Crunchyroll. The streaming service has added all episodes of the anime to its library.
In total, there are 193 episodes available. The great thing about it is that the episodes are available both with Japanese audio and German subtitles, but also completely in German dubbing.
However, to watch the episodes, you will need a subscription to Crunchyroll. Then you can enjoy the series completely ad-free.

Inuyasha: Trailer for the Anime with the Dog Half-Demon
Inuyasha was remastered 15 years later
What happened with the finale? The anime was actually canceled after 104 episodes on RTL2. So, only a little more than half of all 193 episodes were shown. Possibly the broadcaster only secured the rights for the first episodes. Consequently, fans who only watched the anime on RTL2 never knew how the anime ended.
It wasn’t until 15 years after the premiere of Inuyasha that Kazé had the remaining episodes dubbed into German (as stated on MoviePilot). Additionally, the new episodes were then shown on the free-to-air channel ProSieben MAXX. Only then could fans watch the rest of the anime.
With the addition on Crunchyroll, fans are no longer bound to a specific time and can catch up on the entire series as well as the finale at any time.
What is Inuyasha about? The student Kagome Higurashi lives in modern Tokyo. One day, she is pulled into the sealed well at her home and lands in medieval Japan. Here she learns that she is the reincarnation of the powerful priestess Kikyo.
Shortly after her arrival, she is attacked and must free the half-demon Inuyasha to save herself. He had been sealed to a tree by Kikyo with an arrow 50 years prior.
Together they set off to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel. With them, they can put an end to the demons that terrorize the people.
At a press event for Path of Exile: Mirage, the head of the game discussed the competition from Diablo and explained why fans should not expect a new class anytime soon.

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

Outdated systems block a new class
What did the developers respond? The developers of Path of Exile played with open cards and explained that it is currently not technically possible to bring a new class into the game. The game’s “Character Skinning” system is very outdated, which currently poses problems for the developers when transferring the skins to Path of Exile 2.
A new class in the game would turn everything on its head. The developers are currently working to resolve this blockage by improving systems, thanks to Path of Exile 2, but they are still not able to simply bring a new class into the ARPG.
So no new class in Path of Exile? However, the developers clearly added that there are “constantly new classes” in Path of Exile. The starting classes are now almost just different starting points on the skill tree, as players choose abilities and builds themselves anyway.
They emphasized that they want to add new expansion classes in the future that would feel like a new class to them. Additionally, there will constantly be new updates with new skills. This time, it is a build that focuses on Holy Energy and Hammers. This is already essentially a completely new class due to the changes, even if it is not selected at launch.
Nonetheless, the developers respond with the motto: Never say never. So it is very possible that a new class in Path of Exile might await us in a few years, although it will take some time until then.
Pokémon GO has released a new feature that you won’t find in the game itself. This should help you find some in-game content more easily.
If you are traveling in Pokémon GO and keep going through the same area, you should eventually know quite well where to find gyms. In less familiar areas, that might look different.
Exactly for this point, and to find other content in the game more easily, there is now a new external feature released by Pokémon GO. This can be a great help.

Finally a real map
What is this feature? On the official game website, you will now find a new tab: the map of pokemongo.com. Here you can select a location and view some content that is happening near you.
These include the following content:
Raids
Super Mega Raids
Events and Meetups
Gyms
You can now check where gyms are located before you start a round in the game, where you can place your monsters to earn coins, or where raids are taking place.
This can be very helpful in finding a route with interesting strong content even before you start.
The ability to see events and meetups should also be of interest to some players. If you previously didn’t know whether and where meetups are in your area, you can now use the new map and check where they are located.
How do I use the map? After you have opened the map, click on “Location on the map” in the upper area of the map. Here you can enter your location.
Normally, all content that can be displayed on the map will be shown to you. If you only want to see which raids are in the area, click the corresponding activity at the top of the map.
You can currently only display all activities or a specific one. If you show raids, you will see a small X next to the “Raids” point. If you want to remove this filter, click on this X.
This will show you all activities on the map again.
If you click on a raid, you can also see when the raid ends. If you click on the 3 dots in the event display, you can share the raid or the other corresponding activity and get direct directions to it. For this, you will be redirected to Google Maps, and the coordinates will be entered here directly.
What do you think of the new feature? Feel free to let us know in the comments. A great opportunity to try out the new map directly is the GO Tour 2026. This will take place on February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2026, marking the first major event of the year: all content of the Kalos Tour 2026.

Those who do not own a PS5 at least have a chance that Sony will port its games to PC as well. But that is set to change in the future, if we are to believe the words of several insiders.
How will the strategy change? The well-known industry insider Jason Schreier mentioned in the Triple Click Podcast that Sony may drift away from its previous release policy. Some Sony games may no longer be ported to PC.
In the past, titles like the PS4 game God of War or The Last of Us were also released for PC at a later date. According to Schreier, this may no longer apply to upcoming titles like Marvel’s Wolverine or future sequels to God of War.
Which games are affected? This news only concerns titles that are intended as single-player experiences. Other live-service games like Helldivers 2 will continue to be released for PC. The success of such titles is much more dependent on the number of players.
Without a large player base, it can happen that such titles are discontinued. A good example of a game that was recently discontinued, is King of Meat.

Sony pulls back its PC ports, said to have little impact
Why are they doing this? As Schreier further reports, the withdrawal from PC ports would not harm Sony. The titles have not been as successful on PC as they were on PS5. Additionally, Sony does not release its AAA titles on PC simultaneously from day one. Therefore, there may be little consequence if Sony no longer releases games on PC.
How likely is this? Jason Schreier is well-connected in the gaming industry and has built a fundamental trust over several years regarding news behind the scenes of development studios and publishers.
Moreover, several insiders who also enjoy a good reputation support his statement.
The prominent leaker SneakersSO writes that Schreier is not wrong (read on X).
NateTheHate adds that Sony is definitely changing its PC strategy (read on X).
In Game of Thrones there are numerous powerful creatures. But which ones are actually the strongest? We have looked at the top 5 in the ranking.
What was the ranking based on? In the world of Game of Thrones, there is not only magic but also legendary creatures that are often considered myths even in Westeros.
As viewers, however, we know that at least some of these beings are not mere figments of imagination. In the ranking, we will only examine those creatures whose existence is surely confirmed.
Other myths and legends, such as mermaids or sphinxes, will be left aside for now.

House of the Dragon Generates Anticipation for Dragon Battles in the Teaser for Season 3
Place 5: Shadow Wolves
Hardly any creature in Game of Thrones is probably as iconic as the shadow wolf. It is closely associated with House Stark and serves the family as their sigil. At the beginning of the series, the Stark children received their own shadow wolves, which later grew into powerful allies.
Visually, the creatures resemble an ordinary wolf. However, they are much larger, about the size of a small horse when fully grown. Their strength is also impressive. They can easily tear apart a human if they set their mind to it.
Although it is not quite clear how much magic is within the shadow wolves, they seem to have a kind of telepathic connection to their masters. In any case, they are deeply loyal and protect their humans until death.

RAM has been getting more expensive for months, but one user seems to be lucky: He ordered a stick of RAM and instead received a whole box.However, so far there is a lack of crucial evidence to actually substantiate his purchase.
What supports this? In the comments, several people explain that something similar has happened to them or that they work in a warehouse where such things simply happen. Too much delivered goods is therefore not unusual at first, and such quantities do occasionally occur when looking at reports and experiences.
What speaks against it? So far, tangible information confirming the user’s luck is missing: There is no invoice, order history, or anything similar. Some users accuse the person of karma farming as long as he cannot present solid evidence. The user has not yet responded to the demands, but the post is also only one day old as of the current date (27.02.26).
And the story with the box of RAM is not the first of its kind. On MeinMMO, we have already reported on a case where a user also received a whole box of RAM. Here, too, it was Vengeance modules from Corsair. You can read more about it on MeinMMO: Gamer buys RAM on Amazon, accidentally receives a box with 10 units

A new MMORPG presents its dark sci-fi setting in the reveal trailer and already gives a first glimpse of the gameplay. This is reminiscent of the newer Final Fantasy games.
Which game is being discussed? It currently carries the name Project DNA and was first announced on February 24, 2026, with a gameplay reveal trailer. The game, which is said to be an “AAA action MMORPG,” is being developed by the Korean studio Supervoid using Unreal Engine 5.
There is currently no release window for the game. However, the reveal trailer already showcases the dark sci-fi setting and gives a first insight into the gameplay:
Here you can see the reveal trailer for Project DNA:

The first gameplay trailer for Project DNA shows the dark sci-fi setting of the MMORPG
Action MMORPG in a Dark Science Fiction World
What is the game about? Project DNA takes place in the year 2046: The sudden impact of an asteroid forced humanity underground. While the surface lay in ruins, society made great strides in biotechnology within the bunkers.
The technological advancement has produced humans with supernatural powers and even allows them to transfer memories from one body to another. Humanity has thus discovered the path to immortality, even if bodies become mere shells.
Project DNA draws heavily on classic themes of the cyberpunk genre: What makes a human? Is immortality a blessing or a curse? Even the first seconds of the trailer strongly remind one of the Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell, which already dealt with such questions in 1989.
What do we know about the gameplay? A large part of the trailer consists of actual gameplay, the developers emphasize. Thus, quite a bit can already be inferred. Besides the environments with their dark, industrial style and the desolate surface of the Earth, there are also some battles to be seen.
The combat system in Project DNA is said to be action-based. You do not just attack enemies blindly, but must dodge attacks at the right moment. You can either engage in melee combat – such as with a flaming sword – or hurl fireballs and lightning at enemies. The effects are reminiscent of Final Fantasy, at least the newer titles with real-time combat.
On the developers’ official website (www.supervoid.co.kr), 6 characters are already introduced. It seems as though you will play a pre-made character – there doesn’t seem to be a character editor. Furthermore, the developers tease an “Evolution System” that is supposed to allow characters to “grow and adapt in unique ways.” However, the developers have not yet revealed what exactly this entails.
The latest expansion of World of Warcraft is live – at least for those who paid €90. The adventures of Midnight await.
Right at 00:00 on February 27th, precisely at midnight, the launch of the Midnight expansion began – at least for a portion of the player base. Because for four days, there is early access, allowing purchasers of the premium Midnight version to dive in right now.
When is the official launch? The official launch of Midnight is exactly four days later, on March 3, 2026, at 00:00. Then everyone else can also start and explore Quel’thalas and the other new areas.
Much is playable, but there are no major advantages
Which content can be played already? During the early access, a number of features are already available. These include:
The 4 new areas with almost all quests.
Professions and related resources.
Dungeons on low difficulties.
Depths on low difficulties.
The new loot system at the lowest level.
The new talent points.
Which content will come later? As usual, not all content is available right at the early access launch. To prevent any significant gameplay advantage, much content will be available only with a slight delay:
The Haranir, the new race, are not yet available, but will be at launch.
Mythical dungeons will be accessible only after the official launch.
Large weekly quests will also be available after the first reset.
Most endgame features, such as “Mythic+” or the new raid, will start with a significant delay, on March 18, 2026. Then the first season of Midnight begins – of course with a “World First” race and plenty of challenging dungeons that need to be learned again.
Have you already ventured out and are gaming all night long? Or are you currently grinding through work, eagerly waiting to go home and get started? Or are you even waiting for the official launch, until Blizzard fixes the – surely appearing – bugs? If you still don’t know what’s going on: Here are 3 things you should know before the launch of Midnight.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The developers of Path of Exile have introduced their new league “Mirage”. This especially changes the endgame massively.
What have the developers changed? With the upcoming update 3.28, the developers of Path of Exile have made some changes to the endgame. The update goes live parallel to the new season “Mirage” on March 6, 2026.
The endgame changes mainly affect the Atlas tree, which connects the various maps as an overview map. In the new Atlas tree, modifiers can affect different maps, similar to what occurs in Path of Exile 2.
With the update, players will no longer find specific maps. Instead, enemies will drop a map with a certain level, for example, map level 11. In the Atlas tree, this unspecific map can then be assigned to a location. This way, players now have the choice of where they want to fight.
This also has the effect that players can complete the Atlas tree faster. Less grinding is needed to find the missing maps. Instead, one simply selects what is missing.
Furthermore, the developers have removed some of the most annoying modifiers from the maps. No one will turn into a frog anymore just to annoy you. But the new update offers even more.
Here you can see the trailer for Path of Exile: Mirage:

New class changes every season
What kind of new class is this? The developers of Path of Exile have announced a new expansion class for the Scion. The Reliquarist is something very special. He chooses from a new set of bonuses each season, all of which come from unique items.
In this season, there can be a bonus of 40% to fire resistance, while next season the movement speed will be increased by 10% in the same place. The developers have confirmed to MeinMMO that one developer thinks each season about which builds can be created from the various bonuses, aiming to create a new interesting class every season.
New season mechanic
What does the new season bring as a mechanic? New is the Mirage world in Path of Exile. On the normal maps, there are portals that take you to a kind of mirror world. Everything there is almost like in the real world, but there are extra bonuses and slightly changed modifiers.
In the mirror worlds, you can complete several in a row to bag even better rewards and new items, with which the items in the game can be strongly changed again.
Here the developers also give a tip. It is possible to enhance strongboxes and other items in the “real world” before going into the Mirage world to buff them even more there. Here the developers see a high “Juice” potential.
In the action role-playing game Project Windless, you take on the role of a gigantic, sword-swinging rooster. This unusual decision was made primarily because literally every playtester wanted to play this character.
What kind of game is this? Project Windless is an open-world action RPG based on the popular Korean novel series “The Legend of the Tear-Drinking Bird” (English: “The Bird That Drinks Tears”) by Lee Youngdo. The high-fantasy world is deeply rooted in Korean mythology and folklore.
As a so-called Rekon warrior, you dive into a mythical age and explore the kingdom of Arajit, founded by your species. And this said warrior is… a massive rooster.

“One thing is certain: I want to play this character”
Patrik Méthé, head of Krafton Montreal, revealed in an interview with PC Gamer that the studio was hoping for such surprised reactions. It was planned that the hero would cause a stir. However, the fact that people wanted to play exactly that as their character surprised Méthé nonetheless.
In fact, literally everyone who was interviewed for a job on the game desperately wanted to play this rooster. Méthé recalls the candidates:
When the candidates left, they said: ‘I hope to hear from you, but one thing is certain: I want to be able to play this character.’ All of them. Really all – and we said to ourselves: ‘Okay.’
In this context, the developer emphasizes that the protagonist is not a “guy in a costume,” but an independent being with specific attributes and abilities that a human would not possess.
The Rekon serves as the legendary hero king in Windless. Krafton considered the hero king the right choice because he is a mythical character. Remember him, but no one from that time is alive anymore. His story takes place in a 1,000-year gap before the novels, which gives the developers some flexibility. They did not want to copy the book too rigidly to avoid restricting the fun of the game.
When will Windless be released? A specific release date for the action RPG has not yet been announced. The reveal trailer only confirms that the game is in development for the PlayStation 5. We will keep you updated on further announcements.

How can you participate in the Server Slam? There are special participation conditions. You can simply download the game as soon as the download is available, and then play over the weekend.
