Update: The article was updated on December 13 at 3:20 PM. With part 2 of the Wonder Trade event, there are new rewards in the game that we have added.
Collectors can currently snag two new cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket. How to obtain the cards and what other information is important for you can be found on MeinMMO.
What kind of event is this? Players must use the Wonder Trade to obtain exclusive rewards. Through Wonder Trade, you can complete special event missions to receive event shop tickets, which can be redeemed for special items in Bulbasaur and Snow Crystal designs.
In addition to the Wonder Trade, which you can also engage in with friends, special trading opportunities occasionally appear. It doesn’t matter which Wonder Trade you engage in to complete the event missions. However, there are two new free cards to snag in the exclusive event Wonder Trades.
Besides the collecting obsession, TCG Pocket scores with the nostalgia factor:

New Wonder Trade Event with Bulbasaur and Magneton
How long does the event run? The event started on December 6 at 7:00 AM. It will be available for exactly two weeks. The end date is December 20 at 6:59 AM.
What rewards are available? There are two different Wonder Trades that you can participate in:
A bonus trade appears once per hour, which costs no Wonder Stamina. You can choose either Bulbasaur or Magneton, 2 Wonder Hourglasses, and 2 exclusive event tickets.
Significantly rarer is the Chansey trade. Here you must pay 2 Wonder Stamina to have a chance at Bulbasaur or Magneton.
The Magneton and Bulbasaur cards can appear in the free bonus trade in both the old and the event-specific design. In the Chansey trade, you will always find the new designs.
Additionally, there are missions again through which you can earn tickets for items in the in-game shop. The items are designed in the style of Bulbasaur. You can find all items here:
Bulbasaur (Cover) for 3 event tickets
Bulbasaur (Background) for 3 event tickets
Snow Crystals (Background) for 3 event tickets
Bulbasaur (Card Sleeves) for 5 event tickets
Bulbasaur (Playmat) for 10 event tickets
Bulbasaur (Coin) for 5 event tickets
Bulbasaur (Icon) for 2 event tickets
Furthermore, you once again have the opportunity to exchange excess event tickets for Sparkle Dust. Unfortunately, you cannot save them for the next Wonder Trade event.
You can easily collect the 9 event tickets through the free Wonder Trades or the event missions. Here you need to perform Wonder Trades or collect Bulbasaur and Magneton cards.
In Path of Exile 2 there is a problem with the Tinkers Tools on the map Mawdun Quarry. We explain how to obtain the item.
What are the Tinkers Tools? The Tinkers Tools are a quest item in Path of Exile 2 that you should obtain in the Mawdun Quarry. A bug currently prevents players from acquiring the item as intended. However, the quest is not completely broken, and there is a way to actually get the item.
Here you can watch the cinematic intro of Path of Exile 2:

Obtaining Tinkers Tools despite the bug
How can you obtain the Tinkers Tools? To get the quest item, you first need to go to the map Mawdun Quarry. There, you need to defeat miners to make the item drop.
Even if you have defeated all the miners on the map, the drop is not guaranteed. If you have cleared the entire map, first check the world map to see if the symbol is faded out; in that case, you have completed the quest, even if the item is not displayed.
If the icon is still not faded out, you need to reset the map. To do this, move to any web point and press Ctrl + left-click. A menu will open, showing you all active instances of the map. An instance remains open for 8–15 minutes.
Press Ctrl + left-click to open the instance manager.
Click “NEW” in the menu to generate a fresh map. Defeat all the miners there again. It might take a few runs before you obtain the item. On Reddit, one user reported that they were able to claim the item after their 7th run.
Is the problem already known? Yes, the developers of Path of Exile 2 have now confirmed that there is a problem with the quest item (via pathofexile.com). The bug is being treated with priority and is expected to be fixed in one of the upcoming updates.
The developers clarify that you need to defeat the right enemies for the item; it is not enough to just kill any enemies on the map; they must be the miners. Once you have obtained the Tinkers Tools, you should check out what permanent buffs are available in Path of Exile 2 and ideally grab those as well: Path of Exile 2: All Permanent Buffs and where to find them

Ryan Reynolds is a huge name in Hollywood these days. In 2024, he celebrated a massive success with the third installment of Deadpool. But even before that, he appeared in countless films. A sci-fi movie with Jeff Bridges is mostly forgotten today and was a big flop – despite its star-studded cast.
Which movie are we talking about? Ryan Reynolds’s career began in 1991 with the series Hillside. Even before the success of Deadpool in 2016, he had roles in comic adaptations. In Blade Trinity, he fought alongside Blade and in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he portrayed an early, rather hated version of Deadpool.
Three years before his solo Deadpool film, another comic adaptation was released with R.I.P.D.. The best comparison for the film would be Men in Black, only instead of aliens, it’s undead humans who illegally remain on Earth, even though they should actually move on. With Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, it also had a young-old dynamic, just like in Men in Black.
Universal apparently saw a lot of potential in the film, as the budget amounted to 130 million US dollars. Unfortunately, audiences did not find the film that interesting. It flopped at the box office and is considered mostly forgotten today.

R.I.P.D – Trailer for “Men in Black with Zombies” starring Ryan Reynolds
The 130-Million-Dollar Flop
How did R.I.P.D. fare? Due to high costs, R.I.P.D. needed to take in a lot of money. In most cases, a film is considered a success when it earns double its production costs. R.I.P.D. couldn’t even recoup its actual budget.
If you look at the numbers on Box Office Mojo, you will see that the film only grossed just under 78 million US dollars. That’s nowhere near the budget.
What could have been the reason? Jeff Bridges is a well-known and good actor, but he has never truly been a box office draw. Ryan Reynolds at that time was also not yet the guaranteed hit-maker he might be today. Deadpool came three years later, and Reynolds flopped with Green Lantern in 2011.
On the same day, Red 2 was released in US theaters. This film targets a similar audience, and Pacific Rim, which also came out in July, added more competition for the favor of moviegoers.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that the title of the film R.I.P.D sounds quite cumbersome and doesn’t stick in the mind as easily as other movie titles.
The reviews were also poor. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a dismal critic score of 13% from 103 reviews. Among audiences, it achieves 38% from over 50,000 reviews.
There was even a sequel. Although the film was a major flop, there was even a sequel that probably hardly anyone noticed as it was released only on DVD. In 2022, R.I.P.D 2: Rise of the Damned was released and was a prequel. However, it was rather big trash, as no cast members or even the director returned. Another film aimed to build a large universe but flopped already with the first installment: A fantasy film with Tom Cruise was supposed to start a large universe like in Marvel – But it was a flop

Fans of the dino shooter Turok must stay strong now: Yes, a new game is coming, and it’s even from the creators of Space Marine 2, well-known developers. However, long-time fans will have to brace themselves for a significant change.
What game is it about? The game in question is Turok: Origins. The game was announced at the Game Awards 2024 and is being developed by Saber Interactive. The studio most recently released the highly popular third-person shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
The Turok brand includes several games and comics. The first video game, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, was released in 1997 for the N64. Apart from the remasters of parts 1 and 2, Turok has been relatively quiet in recent years – at least until now.
Turok: Origins is the first new game in the series in 16 years and will be available for PC on Steam as well as for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is also a short trailer that you can see here:
Start video
The Dino-Shooter Turok returns with a new game on Steam and PS5
Hunting dinosaurs with a tomahawk and shotgun
What does the trailer show? Players again take on the role of a Turok warrior. They look similar to what one would envision as American Indians placed in a sci-fi setting: war paint and tomahawks are complemented by plasma rifles and shotguns.
As Turok, you go on the hunt for dinosaurs. These are not realistically portrayed but are highly stylized killing machines. Besides the dinos, an extraterrestrial threat has also been announced that the Turok must resist.
Finally, the developers show actual gameplay. It is noteworthy that, unlike previous games, this is not a first-person shooter. Turok: Origins is played in third-person like Space Marine 2 and features an optional co-op mode.
The decision for third-person makes sense for Saber Interactive: This way, they can carry over the experience from the successful Space Marine 2 into the new game. However, many fans are less enthusiastic about this.
Fans between anticipation and disappointment
How are the fans reacting? In the comments on YouTube, nostalgic memories are mixed with criticism. “Why is it a first-person shooter?” asks DangerVille, who is actually excited about a new Turok game. Many other comments echo similar sentiments.
nathanaelbrown1983: “How can they not make this an FPS?”
Daaaanbanana: “Maybe the fastest I’ve lost interest after an announcement when I saw it’s a third-person shooter with co-op.”
Other voices are even clearer: “This isn’t Turok,” is a common refrain. Nevertheless, there is also excitement for the title that should not be overlooked.
PeterLawrenceYT: “I did NOT expect this! I thought the franchise was long gone! I can’t wait!!”
MellowNello: “They can’t… They can’t do this to me 17 years later, I’m really going to start crying, guys.”
ps.shots.93: “The only game at the Game Awards that made me scream, I can’t wait, LET’S GO!!!”
With Mythical Island, a total of 80 new cards are coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket. One of them is so powerful that it could replace a previous all-rounder card. However, it has a significant drawback.
What is this special card? Among the 80 new cards, there are 5 Trainer cards. One of them is Leaf. This is the female main character from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. She comes from Pallet Town like Blue and is good friends with him.
In Pokémon TCG Pocket, she has the ability to reduce the retreat cost of a Pokémon by 2. This means that 2 less Energy must be attached to a Pokémon to retreat from its active position and be replaced by another.
The new booster can be found in the following trailer:

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Watch the booster ‘Mythical Island’ in the official trailer
Leaf appears better than another card, but has a major weakness
Which card could it replace? The card X-Initiative can be found in almost every deck. It is an Item card that reduces the retreat cost of the active Pokémon by 1. This makes it weaker than Leaf, which is why a Reddit user even believes that the card will disappear from nearly all decks.
However, in the comments, he is informed that Leaf has a significant disadvantage. Therefore, many believe that Leaf may not be used at all or only be useful in specific situations.
What disadvantage is there? Leaf is a Supporter card. This type of card can only be used once per turn. With powerful Supporter cards like Professor’s Research or Sabrina, which are present in many decks, it becomes difficult to retreat your Pokémon at the right time.
What benefits are there? Leaf can retreat Pokémon that have high costs. One example is Snorlax: It consumes a total of 4 Energy to retreat. But even for Pokémon that have only one or no Energy attached and have at least two retreat costs, Leaf is the optimal choice.
Additionally, there are often situations where none of the other Supporter cards need to be used. Therefore, it is worth considering replacing X-Initiative with Leaf. If you have many Pokémon with high retreat costs, it is advisable to include both cards in your deck anyway.
What do you think of Leaf? Will it be included in your deck? Or do you prefer to rely on X-Initiative? Let us know in the comments!
The developers of World of Tanks are making a new shooter, but this time you will fight with mechs for a valuable resource.
What kind of game is this? Steel Hunters is an upcoming shooter from Wargaming, the developers behind World of Tanks. They describe Steel Hunters as a mix of extraction shooter and Battle Royale, where you control powerful steel mechs called “Hunters”.
In total, you have 7 Hunters to choose from, which you can test in a Closed Beta starting December 13. The mechs are like heroes in a hero shooter and all have different weapons, abilities, and attributes. Some are good for ranged combat, while others resemble heavily armed tanks.
Steel Hunters clearly indicates: While you control steel war machines like in World of Tanks or World of Warships, you should still feel like you’re playing a traditional shooter. You are agile and can use your mobility to outmaneuver your opponents.
Start video
Wargaming kündigt neuen Shooter Steel Hunters an
What makes the game special? The Steel Hunters were created to acquire a valuable resource. As is typical for an extraction shooter, a round begins with you scouring the map, eliminating NPCs, and diligently looting to upgrade your Hunter.
The big difference compared to similar shooters lies in the extraction; here we see the influence of the Battle Royale genre. Now it’s about asserting yourself in ruthless PvP combat against other players.
Only one team can escape with the incoming extraction ship. Teams of different players gather around the extraction point and fight – the last one standing wins.
Steel Hunters will start with 7 different playable Hunters, but that doesn’t mean the shooter will be permanently limited to these 7 mechs. Over time, more Hunters are supposed to be added to the game, continually expanding the gameplay. With these new Hunters, it will also be important to choose the right strategy in battles and to ideally exploit the strengths of your mech.
The creators of Payday are developing a new cooperative shooter. The first gameplay trailer suggests whether the game will also be interesting for Payday fans.
With Den of Wolves, Andersson returns to the theme of “heists.” The shooter takes place in a dystopian future where rich corporations hold power over a metropolis.
The various mega-corporations are both the targets and the clients of your heist crew. You will receive missions from them such as sabotage, kidnapping, or corporate espionage.
Den of Wolves is played in 4-player co-op. While there is no cohesive campaign, there are supposed to be different storylines consisting of various missions. The actual heist is only a part of such a storyline, with preparation, such as obtaining a building plan, also being part of it.
At the Game Awards 2024, 10 Chambers showcased a gameplay trailer for Den of Wolves for the first time. This gives the first impression of whether the co-op shooter will be interesting for fans of Payday.

Gameplay trailer for the co-op shooter Den of Wolves
Den of Wolves could be interesting for Payday fans – but it may not be
Is Den of Wolves interesting for Payday players? Yes, Den of Wolves could be interesting for fans of Payday 1&2. However, the trailer also shows that, alongside some similarities, there are also significant differences.
This is why Den of Wolves is interesting for Payday players: Payday is characterized by cooperative shooter action while executing a heist, as well as the preparation and planning associated with the heist. We see these gameplay aspects in the first gameplay trailer of Den of Wolves.
Even in the first 30 seconds, we see a member of the heist crew cracking a large, walk-in safe. A few seconds later, the shooter action begins – in first-person perspective. Players must defend themselves against attackers in various situations. Often, they remain in motion with a fully packed backpack, traversing the entered building, usually with other players by their side.
This is why Den of Wolves is not interesting for Payday players: The big difference from Payday 2 is obviously in the setting. The adversaries rushing towards you in the trailer are not guards, police officers, or other law enforcement but rather look like rival gangsters or mercenaries.
Furthermore, the technology used, such as the machine for cracking the safe, is more futuristic than the gadgets in Payday. Den of Wolves is not set in the year 2024 and therefore offers technologies that we do not have today.
MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya spoke with 10 Chambers in Los Angeles during the Video Game Awards, the developers of Den of Wolves. For the first time, a gameplay trailer of the new heist co-op shooter on Steam was shown there.
In a meeting room of a hotel in Los Angeles, the developers from the Swedish studio 10 Chambers are waiting to present the first gameplay trailer of their new heist co-op shooter. Den of Wolves can be seen as a spiritual successor to Payday, the famous heist shooter with clown masks.
10 Chambers is a relatively young studio, founded by Ulf Andersson, the creative mind behind Payday, in 2015. We have reported on their first game GTFO, which is characterized by its extreme difficulty and is hardly achievable alone. It belongs to the horror survival genre and was released in Early Access on Steam in 2021.
This is Den of Wolves: The cooperative first-person shooter for 4 players aims to evolve the heist game genre by playing in a dystopian future and combining traditional infiltration gameplay with a neural hacking element. The sci-fi genre is supposed to bring new impulses to the genre.
In the new gameplay trailer from the Video Game Awards, you can get a glimpse of the futuristic Den of Wolves:

Gameplay trailer for the co-op shooter Den of Wolves
Den of Wolves resembles Cyberpunk, but is supposed to be different
Before we see the trailer, there is a presentation by game designer Simon Viklund and communications director Robin Björkell, who explain more about the background of Den of Wolves.
The two emphasize that Den of Wolves is not Cyberpunk. Later when I see the trailer, the word Cyberpunk pops up prominently in my mind, though.
This is the background to Den of Wolves: You live in Midway City, a corporate-free zone that was established in 2035 through the HOPLON project. In early 2030, the world economy was nearly brought to collapse by AI-driven cyberattacks. Midway City was supposed to serve as a high-security zone for corporations to protect financial and technological infrastructure. However, that backfired, and now you live in a dystopian metropolis where corporations vie for power and control.
You must somehow survive in this swamp and take on contracts from different corporations.
Den of Wolves has been labeled as a “techno-thriller” genre. In the later conversation with Simon and Robin, I address the avoidance of the term Cyberpunk. The goal is primarily to prevent false impressions.
We were afraid to say Cyberpunk because people would think: “Oh, it’s Payday in space.”
Or people think of the Cyberpunk game where it would be like: “Oh, I can get a neon-colored mohawk and a robotic arm.” Or a third leg or whatever.
So it came from us that we didn’t want to say Cyberpunk because I could already see the headlines: “Payday space is coming and you will have a pink mohawk.”
Interview excerpt with 10 Chambers
Techno-thrillers are characterized mainly by the emphasis on real or plausible technologies of the near future. You can see this in the trailer, as there are no neon-colored influences. Just like in GTFO, Den of Wolves is supposed to remain more realistic and dark.
Therefore, it is already stated in the presentation that you are not the shining hero in Den of Wolves who wants to take down the evil corporations. When I ask why we are not the shining hero, Simon connects this to the aforementioned realistic approach:
Well, I think it would be somewhat preaching if you were to say: “Oh, these are the villains that you are now doing something against. You are this Robin Hood who robs the rich or whatever. They deserve it.”
We believe it is better to be some kind of anti-hero. That’s more complex and not black and white, because that’s how the world really is. You can come up with your own backstory for your character and say: “I’m doing this to avenge my wife who was killed, or whatever.” That’s up to you. The game itself doesn’t tell you what to think, what backstory you have, or what your motives for your actions are.
You are just trying to make a living in Midway City, and that’s a dirty place, morally corrupt. And then you just have to, I don’t know, accept that, I guess. Den of Wolves is a reflection of how the world really looks, you know, and there’s a lot of darkness and evil people out there.
Interview excerpt with 10 Chambers
You see, in Den of Wolves it’s supposed to be quite dystopian.
Preparation for heists plays a big role in gameplay
Another aspect in which 10 Chambers wants to develop its heist gameplay compared to GTFO or Payday is the preparation for a heist. This will play a bigger role and go beyond the usual “Take a job, start the mission, jump in, go out.” This is supposed to help present the story in the game better and bring in new interesting strategies.
Right away, I ask myself whether this could potentially disrupt the gameplay loop and prolong the co-op rounds. I share my concerns with Simon and Robin, who place their idea behind it in context.
Well, it’s not a new concept to have something like a macro goal. There are micro goals and macro goals in games. So I think players will get used to it even if Payday games don’t have that. There is a mixture of things you can do. You can just start the game and if you want, you can just do something quick that isn’t part of a narrative, which doesn’t require a big investment or set something in motion that you have to finish. There will be snack-sized content, but the plots are [through the larger heists] somewhat more ambitious than what you would expect from the game.
Den of Wolves will be more complex than Payday 2. It’s more ambitious in storytelling and interesting. Because in Payday 2, there’s no storytelling in the game itself. The story is told through trailers and if you don’t watch YouTube, you have no idea what’s going on in the game. With Den of Wolves, we want to have more storytelling that takes place in the game itself.
Interview excerpt with 10 Chambers
So when you prepare for a heist, the game will take you to locations that explain more of the world and background. However, what that looks like in detail remains a mystery.
Too early for a judgment, but it looks promising
10 Chambers does not go into too much detail yet about what the gameplay will ultimately look like. The trailer and the conversations I had provide an impression of the direction things are going.
It’s clear that fans of the Payday series or GTFO should keep an eye on this game. Currently (as of December 12, 2024), GTFO has an 88% positive rating on Steam and 10 Chambers knows how to create a good game with a fan base.
In the conversation and presentation, it sounded as if GTFO was initially the game to find themselves as a new studio and team. Den of Wolves, on the other hand, feels more like an actual end goal. According to Simon, the concept for the game has been lingering in founder Ulf’s mind for 10 years.
I assume that a high-quality game will emerge here again. One risk is definitely an over-ambitious setting that allows for many possibilities and also many pitfalls.
However, since everything is still quite vague, I will take an observatory position for now and eagerly await the moment when we go beyond trailers and can get our hands on it ourselves.
The complete interview with Simon and Robin will be available soon on MeinMMO.

During the Game Awards 2024, the developers of Crimson Desert released the next spectacularly staged trailer for the open-world role-playing game. They also revealed when the game is supposed to be released.
What does the new trailer show? First the most important thing: At the end of the trailer from the Game Awards 2024, the developers announced that Crimson Desert is set to be released in late 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Steam, and Mac. Moreover, the nearly 100 seconds reveal what you can expect in the new open-world adventure from the studio behind Black Desert:
The vast, open-designed world of Pywel, which you can explore on foot or with a mount. The trailer even includes scenes where you sit on the back of a flying dragon and fight.
You can expect action-packed, bloody battles against groups of enemies and powerful bosses. There will also be epic, large-scale battles.
By acquiring new weapons and armor and unlocking skills, you will prepare for increasingly difficult challenges.
Apart from fighting, activities like climbing, gliding, fishing, or cooking await you. There are also supposed to be puzzles. Previous trailers have already shown hot air balloon rides, flute playing, arm wrestling, and taming mounts.
Here you can watch the new trailer from the Game Awards 2024 in full length:

Trailer for the action RPG Crimson Desert announces release window
Find Your Next Game 2025: On December 11, 2024, FYNG 2025 will kick off. Until December 16, you can expect exclusive information and reveals about upcoming game highlights! Guests such as Maurice Weber, Fabian Siegismund, Milschbaum, Etienne, and Nils from the Rocket Beans, among others, will also be present.
On the subreddit r/CrimsonDesert, the mood after the trailer could be better. In a thread, fans are discussing the announced release window. Some wished for a specific date, while others do not believe that Pearl Abyss will make it in 2025. Players are also concerned that Crimson Desert will share the spotlight with GTA 6 if there are further delays.
Why is Crimson Desert so exciting? The project first hinted at in August 2017 and officially presented in November 2019 by Pearl Abyss has caught the attention of the MeinMMO editorial team early on, not only because of its sleek graphics and dynamic battles.
Pearl Abyss has specifically made a name for itself with Black Desert, which has many fans due to its impactful combat feel and beautiful game world. Crimson Desert was originally supposed to be an MMORPG as well, relying on comparable strengths.
Over the course of development, however, the developers stated that Crimson Desert would not be an MMORPG, but would place a strong focus on the single-player campaign in a vast, open world, with optional multiplayer content, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2 or the GTA series.
The setting and characters strongly reminded of Game of Thrones with their Western presentation. The main character resembled Jon Snow. So now you can also ride dragons, like the Targaryens. Those who want to find out if this ambitious mix is fun will only have to wait just under a year if there are no delays. More information can be found on our overview page for Crimson Desert.

Pokémon TCG Pocket has announced a new booster. The star of this set is likely to become an exciting option for many decks.
This is the new booster: The new set Mythical Island will be released on December 17 in Pokémon TCG Pocket. It contains 80 new cards, including 5 new ex-cards and 5 Trainer cards.
The star of the set is Mew, which is featured on the front of the booster pack. The mysterious Pokémon from the first generation is also one of the new ex-cards.
And it has a lot to offer:
130 HP
The attack “Psyshot” for one Psychic energy, which deals 20 damage
The attack “Genome Hacking” for three colorless energies, which copies and uses an attack of the opponent’s active Pokémon
The new card can also be seen in the trailer. And why it will be so strong will be explained below.
Start video
Pokémon TCG Pocket: Watch the booster ‘Mythical Island’ in the official trailer
What makes the strong Mew ex card special
Mew has some points that make it quite interesting. The biggest is of course “Genome Hacking”. The attack for three colorless energies simply takes over an attack from the opponent – and depending on what your opponent has in store, the move can be quite powerful.
Charizard ex, for instance, is one of the strongest cards in the game and has an attack that deals 200 damage. However, it requires two Fire energies and two colorless energies, and must also discard two Fire energies after use. Mew, on the other hand, only needs three colorless energies, making it able to use the attack faster. Additionally, it does not need to discard any Fire energies if it hasn’t attached any.
Mew ex in the new trailer
It’s similar with the popular Mewtwo ex, which could also be easily taken out by its own attack when facing Mew. Monsters like Dragonite also come with powerful attacks that require many or complicated energy combinations, while Mew only needs three energies of any type.
Additionally: Mew, being a Basic Pokémon, does not rely on any evolution, and its strong attack does not require any specific energy type. Thus, it’s incredibly versatile and can be used in virtually any deck, unless you specifically want to use Psyshot. And with only one energy retreat cost, it can also be quickly pulled out of the active position if needed.
In combination with cards like Gardevoir or Misty, Mew can potentially access the required energies for Genome Hacking very quickly. Then it can counter the opponent quite viciously, making it a strong option against the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
The downside: Mew ex will be strong, but not overpowered. Because: Against weak Pokémon that don’t have great attacks in their repertoire, it won’t be able to do much. After all, its own strength somewhat depends on the power of the opponent’s Pokémon. So it must be used tactically wisely.
What do you think of the new card? Let us know in the comments. And if you’re still looking for the “regular” Mew: You can also obtain that in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and that is already possible. Mew is a secret immersive card in the game that can be obtained by completing a special quest. However, it is significantly weaker than Mew ex.

The next patch of World of Warcraft will be released in a few days. The patch notes for the update “Siren’s Island” are already available.
Shortly before Christmas, a small content update is coming to World of Warcraft, bringing enough new features to keep you busy during the holidays before the 2nd season of The War Within continues in 2025. Use the free time to explore the “Siren’s Island” and prepare your character for the year 2025. Just before the release, Blizzard has already published the patch notes for the update.

WoW reveals the new island from Patch 11.0.7 – English Trailer
The essentials at a glance:
The patch 11.0.7 will go live on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
Patch 11.0.7 is a fairly small patch.
There is a new small area, the Siren’s Island.
The new ring “Cyrces Ring” can be socketed with powerful effects and is likely to be essential for all classes.
On the Siren’s Island, there are many cosmetic rewards, which are associated with some grind or luck.
Kul Tirans and Humans can now choose pointed ears.
The racial bonuses of many races will be adjusted.
What’s in the new patch? The last patch of the year 2024 may not have the content richness that the upcoming update 11.1 will have, but there is still plenty to do. Especially the ring “Cyrces Ring” will be an essential item for everyone. The ring can be customized with different sockets, reminding us of the ring from Dragonflight. Since the ring gains strength each week (as long as you complete the weekly quest), it provides a small boost to tackle the rest of season 1 and perhaps defeat a tougher boss or two.
The changes to the racial bonuses are particularly interesting. Here, Blizzard aims to create more fairness. Therefore, many racial bonuses will be adjusted, either in their effects or cooldowns.
Aside from that, the patch has many small improvements. Some achievements from the launch version of the expansion can finally be completed, and there are new story quests focusing primarily on the aftermath of Dalaran – and what the Kirin Tor will do now without their capital.

Pre-Sequel was actually a prequel to part 2, showing how Jack later became the villain. There are also scenes from the present, featuring the character Athena, known from the Borderlands 1 DLC The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. In Pre-Sequel, she was one of the playable Vault Hunters.
At the end of Pre-Sequel, we see how Lilith wants to shoot her because Athena helped Jack. However, Athena is saved by a Watcher. The Watcher is an Eridian creature associated with the Vaults. The Watcher explains: War is coming. And you need every Vault Hunter you can get.
In later DLCs for Pre-Sequel, this is not picked up again, and the 3rd part does not connect to it either. There, you fight against the Calypso Twins. One cannot really speak of a war in that context. Athena also does not make an appearance in Borderlands 3.
The trailer for Borderlands 4 now hints at a war. This is clearly seen in the 2 factions waging war with small armies. The return of old Vault Hunters is also featured, in the trailer we see an older version of Zane, who could be played in Borderlands 3.
However, neither Lilith nor Athena is present in the video. Athena should still be alive in the world of Borderlands. Lilith’s situation is a bit more unclear. She sacrificed herself at the end of Borderlands 3, but it is unknown if she is really dead.
It is also unclear which factions are involved in the trailer for part 4. The psychos seem to be controlled by the robot woman through masks, and the mysterious man does not appear to be the classic Borderlands CEO, as he seemingly has magical powers as well. However, you won’t have to wait long for new information, as the game will be released in 2025.

The Witcher 4 showed in the first trailer how the story continues 9 years after the third part. Not only is the new protagonist introduced, but also a new monster. We will explain where the monster comes from and what it is in this article.
What can be seen in the new trailer? The first trailer for The Witcher 4 was released at the Game Awards 2024. The new protagonist is introduced right away. Fans of the third part are already familiar with Ciri. In the trailer, a village is shown that wants to sacrifice a young woman to appease the gods.
The woman is to be presented to a monster. Ciri saves the woman just before the monster appears and then fights it. The monster is called a Bauk, as explained by Cian Maher and Marcin Batylda, the lore designers of the game, in an interview with IGN.
You can watch the monster in the new trailer:

Trailer for The Witcher 4 shows Ciri as the protagonist
The Boogeyman of Serbian Mythology
Where does the Bauk come from? Like most monsters in the Witcher series, the Bauk comes from European folklore. The Bauk originates from Serbian mythology and is a kind of Boogeyman from children’s stories. It was meant to scare children so they would not go alone to dark, unknown places.
The Bauk is a creature that usually hides in the dark and waits for prey. It is said to paralyze its victims with great fear before devouring them. This is also seen in the Witcher trailer. There, the Bauk only reveals itself when a potential victim stands in its darkness.
According to mythlok.com, the Bauk is not often seen due to its behavior in the dark. It is usually depicted as a bear-like creature. In some depictions, it also has horns. In the trailer, the Bauk has several long limbs with spikes that it uses to attack.
Its head has a pointed beak at the nose, and its face and hair resemble that of creepy humans. Under the beak, it has a terrifying mouth with sharp teeth.
In the trailer, the Bauk can also speak, but it sounds more like a voice imitation to lure potential prey. In mythology, it should also be recognized by croaking sounds.
Does the Bauk have weaknesses? Since the Bauk is meant to deter against the darkness, light is its natural enemy. Even in The Witcher 4, it seems to have an issue with it as it hides in shadows and fog. Ultimately, Ciri also weakens it with a fire chain before giving it the final blow.
In the trailer, Ciri unfortunately cannot save the girl; she is ultimately killed by the people. As in the predecessors, players will probably explore the dynamics of monsters and humans here again.

The Witcher 3 is one of the most important role-playing games of all time. Since 2015, fans have been waiting for a true sequel. That will come with Witcher 4, as the trailer from the Game Awards 2024 shows. However, it will not be a classic sequel, as CD Project Red explains in a recent interview.
Finally, there are the first glimpses of Witcher 4: In a cinematic trailer during the Game Awards 2024, you can get your first look at the upcoming game. Right away, the new protagonist stands out: Ciri. She is already known from the third part.
The young witch returns and this time fully steps into the footsteps of her foster father Geralt. However, The Witcher 4 is not meant to be a classic sequel, as CD Project Red explains in an exclusive interview with our colleague Dimitry Halley from GameStar.
Here you can watch the trailer in full length:

Trailer for The Witcher 4 shows Ciri as the protagonist
Witcher 4 is not a classic sequel, but also not a reboot.
In the interview with GameStar, Philipp Weber, the Narrative Director of CD Project Red, explains that it was not an easy decision to title the game with the number 4.
This was also due to the time between parts 3 and 4. 9 years is a long time in the modern era, and many young players might not know Witcher 3 at all. They want to give them the opportunity to enjoy the new game without prior knowledge.
At the same time, The Witcher 4 is also not a reboot. The story and the world that was built in The Witcher 3 will continue. That’s why they also decided to omit the subtitle, just like they did with the first part in 2007:
This will not be a reboot, not a side project, but the official next big Witcher game. […] The first Witcher game back then came without a subtitle – and correspondingly, we now say: The Witcher 4. Without a subtitle.
But you don’t have to say goodbye to Geralt entirely
What about Geralt? Whether we will see Geralt in the game itself is still unknown. However, in the trailer, you can hear his voice as an off-screen narrator telling the story. In Witcher 3, there was also an off-screen narrator in lightly animated cutscenes. It is possible that Geralt’s voice takes over this role.
However, it is noticeable from the trailer that we can expect a different type of character with Ciri compared to Geralt. While Geralt often seemed like a neutral observer, Ciri is much more focused on her own opinion.
However, she is not an entirely heroic figure either. In the trailer, we see her using a girl as bait for a nasty monster. Only when it’s almost too late does she save the girl.
When will The Witcher 4 be released? With such announcements, CD Project Red wants to be much more cautious now, as Miles Tost, the Level Design Lead, explains in the interview. He doesn’t mention a release date, but jokes about a release in the next 20 years.
They don’t want to make false promises. The Witcher 4 is still at the beginning of development, so one should not expect an early release. The Witcher 4 was not the only major announcement at the Game Awards 2024. You can find more exciting trailers here: Game Awards 2024: All trailers you shouldn’t miss

During the great drought phase of the MMORPG history, there were some small but exciting projects that sought to finance themselves through crowdfunding. One of these games has been stuck in development hell for more than eight years. Now there’s an update that is causing more shaking of heads.
Which MMORPG is it about? When the Kickstarter campaign for Chronicles of Elyria launched in May 2016, the world was still fine. The project about aging heroes and a realistic game world sounded so exciting that over 10,000 supporters raised more than 1.3 million US dollars. By October 2019, almost 8 million US dollars were reportedly raised.
A certain part of the revenue came from the time-limited purchase of virtual land from the pre-alpha of Chronicles of Elyria. Cost: 65 to 3,500 US dollars.
In the middle of development, the engine had to be changed because the initially used virtual-world platform SpatialOS was said to be too expensive and inflexible.
Despite the enormous crowdfunding revenue, money was repeatedly lacking to drive development forward. It did not help that the planned release date for June 2016 kept being pushed back. Due to a lack of a publisher who had trust in the project, firings occurred in 2018.
When the first real gameplay footage of Chronicles of Elyria was shown in September 2019, many supporters experienced disillusionment. It looked bad and unfinished, with no sign of years of development. The previously released trailers had painted an entirely different picture of the MMORPG.
The first playable pre-alpha left a disastrous impression in 2020 and was nothing more than a tutorial obstacle course.
Shortly thereafter, the team was dissolved, and development was temporarily halted.
Later, the main responsible person of the project, Jeromy Walsh, explained that it was just a misunderstanding and that he was now working alone on Chronicles of Elyria.
Walsh also stated that they would now work on a sort of spinoff called Kingdoms of Elyria for the supporters.
The subsequent shitstorm caused the responsible parties to halt all communication with the community for the time being, closing official channels like the forums and Discord. Supporters threatened with a class-action lawsuit. A legal case ensued. To this day, not a single player has received a refund.
To this day, you cannot play Chronicles of Elyria – here is a video from the pre-alpha:
In it, Jeromy Walsh claims that Chronicles of Elyria has made noticeable progress and that they have been in regular contact behind closed doors with early access and alpha-1 supporters. There is no evidence in the form of videos or screenshots. Similarly, there are no players publicly confirming communication with the developer.
The latter may be due to the strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that all testers are said to be bound by. According to the post, there are also updates for the website and forum, which will take the last bit of public communication behind a curtain, as registration will be required to read forum posts or new developer blogs.
How is the community reacting to the update? Many players are reacting with mockery to the latest post:
Sqelm jokes about the website update (via Reddit): “I feel like this is representative of the entire path of CoE. You spend your time on everything but the actual development of the game.”
Launch_Arcology writes on Reddit: “It sounds like he doesn’t want people to see his delusional and often not entirely honest previous statements about the development and especially his backtracking on the closure of Soulbound Studios.”
MrTastyCake grabs popcorn on Reddit: “The show must go on.”
Nitramite is having fun (via Reddit): “Hahaha, I knew there would be an update shortly before the holidays. Amazing, really good and funny stuff. I find it great that everything he does has a multi-stage process. I won’t check it, but I’m sure he only completes step 1 of his website and then makes a new list.”
At the Game Awards 2024, it didn’t happen often for the entire hall to rise to enthusiastic applause. One actor ensured this with his appearance, creating one of the special highlights of the show.
Which appearance is being referred to? Hardly had host Geoff Keighley finished his introduction of the Game Awards 2024, when the award for Best Performance was already on the agenda. First, the actor and voice actor Troy Baker, along with Todd Howard, Game Director and Executive Producer at Bethesda Game Studios, took to the stage.
Why these two in particular? Well, Bethesda – under Howard’s leadership – recently released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and a certain Troy Baker performed the motion capturing for the main character Indiana Jones (even though Indy’s face was designed based on the movies and thus portrays actor legend Harrison Ford).
Here is one of the trailers for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle:

Anyone who has already played the game will surely agree with us that Troy Baker and the developers did a great job bringing the iconic adventure to life. However, because of the late release date, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was not nominated for any of the Game Awards 2024. Bethesda will have to wait until next year’s award show.
However, Baker and Howard’s appearance had a twist. Their task was to announce the actual presenter for the “Best Performance” award, namely none other than Harrison Ford, who has slipped into the role of Indiana Jones in five feature films and has portrayed other significant characters in film history such as Han Solo (Star Wars) and Rick Deckard (Blade Runner).
Meeting of the Indy Generations
What was special about the tribute? When Harrison Ford took to the stage, appropriately accompanied by the famous “Raiders of the Lost Ark” theme, the guests celebrated the star with raucous cheers and standing ovations. The actor took the opportunity to praise Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and teasingly complimented Troy Baker for his role as Indiana Jones:
I believe this guy here did a great job. If I had known how good he was, I would have taken the role myself.

Afterward, it seemed Harrison Ford was not keen on following his script. With a hand gesture, he indicated that he wanted to skip the next part. Instead, he announced the short introductory video featuring the nominees for the “Best Performance” award.
When it finally came time to announce the winner, Harrison Ford made a “John Travolta”. Melina Juergens, who received the performance award for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II for the second time, was introduced by the actor as Melinda Juergens. Something similar happened to Travolta at the 2014 Oscars.
MeinMMO editor Sophia Weiss had a lot of fun with Dragon Age: The Veilguard and now wants to play the old parts. Right now, the games are available on Steam for a total of under 15 euros.
Warning! Spoilers for the ending of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. If you only want the discounted games, go this way.
During my run in The Veilguard, I learned that it is very important to make the correct decisions right from the start in the character editor: You can transfer and customize your Inquisitor from the predecessor game.
And only if you have an Inquisitor who had a romance with Solas and has dedicated himself to his salvation can you unlock the very best ending of all.
I now want to know: Why? What does the Inquisitor mean to Solas? What have the two experienced together? Why is this connection so important?
But I can’t just start in the middle when there are several games in a row. That feels like starting a book series with the fifth volume. That would be very wrong for me. So I’m playing all three parts – from the beginning. Luckily, there is currently the perfect offer for me on Steam. If you’re only here for the bargain, you can click here.
Although the three games do not tell a directly connected story, they take place in the same world and build on each other. I really want to know how the world of Thedas in The Veilguard differs from its predecessors. And of course, I want to unlock the best possible ending in my next Veilguard run.

Everything in order – From one to three
Does it make sense to play the older games after The Veilguard? Each of the three games has its own story. Yes, some things are already known after The Veilguard: Varric survives his debut game and also the successor Inquisition. But what exactly happens remains unclear.
Borte Harding from the Inquisition team tells a bit about her time with the Inquisitor in optional cutscenes. But she was not involved enough with the main cast of the third game to spoil much. So there are still many questions unanswered.
How are the games connected? Overall, the parts only loosely connect. The Veilguard also takes place in a very different part of the world than its predecessors. Theoretically, after part 4, you already know a lot about the world and which characters from previous parts survived. This can lower the tension.
Personally, however, I am interested in the development of the world, what fascinates other players about the old parts. I keep reading on social media that The Veilguard is not as dark as the old parts (via Tumblr). I want to know what that’s all about.
They are currently reduced by 85% until December 19. Origins and II now cost 4.49 euros, Inquisition still 5.99 euros. With that, you can purchase all predecessor games of The Veilguard for a total of 14.97 euros. While that is not quite as cheap as three months ago when the games were offered for just under 10 euros in total, it is still a bargain (via gg.deals)
I bought the three games this morning after I received the Three games on your wishlist on sale email. Let’s see if I can get them running on my Steam Deck.
Then this is the perfect activity during the holidays. And with all the new knowledge, I might start a new Veilguard run again. I suspect the graphic difference will really impress me. Currently, another game from 2013 is exciting the community on Reddit with how good the graphics still look 11 years later.

The race for the legendary treasure, the One Piece, has been running in the anime and manga for several years. Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of the pirate story, has already thought about how the Straw Hats would look when they find the treasure – and if they do not get it.
What scenarios has he drawn? Eiichiro Oda depicted the Straw Hats at advanced ages in several issues of the SBS section, where fans can ask the mangaka questions. He created four different scenarios:
At 40 years old with a bright future
At 60 years old with a bright future
At 40 years old with a bleak future
At 60 years old with a bleak future
Only with Franky have the age data been pushed forward by 10 years, as he is already 36 years old.
You can find the trailer for the remake of One Piece here:

The Straw Hats become beggars, hated fathers, and monsters
What do they look like? While the positive outlook shows the Straw Hats in a dignified state, the versions where things went wrong are quite shabby. Many members beg for money, alcohol, or turn into a more horrible version.
You can see the images in the Reddit thread from SnooLentils5222:

Which character stands out particularly? Some Straw Hats look worse than others. For example, Sanji becomes his hated father when things go wrong, and Franky transforms into a complete battleship.
However, fans in the comments particularly notice Chopper. He is actually a sweet reindeer, but in a bleak future, he turns into a monster. It resembles the being he becomes when he eats a special Rumble Ball. He even demands a sacrifice.
2024 was of course another good year for horror movies. There was even a considerable amount of them. We present 7 of them in this list.
How was this list created? Every movie on this list can be categorized into the horror genre. However, to provide you with a good mix, we vary the subgenres. At the same time, it is important that the film was released in 2024 in Germany.
The list is based on the personal recommendation of MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes. If your favorite horror film from 2024 is missing from this list, feel free to let us know in the comments.
The First Omen – Trailer for the Horror Film Prequel
What is The First Omen about?The First Omen is the prequel to the film The Omen from 1976. Margaret Daino travels to Rome to finally become a full-fledged nun dedicated to the church. But, as one might expect, strange things happen in the orphanage where she works.
The First Omen is essentially a classic nun horror film, as has been seen many times before. However, the film does this very well. It hardly relies on clichéd techniques like jump scares. The film stays true to its origins, is beautifully and atmospherically shot, and features a strong lead actress in Nell Tiger Free.
2. Alien: Romulus
Director: Fede Alvarez

Alien: Romulus brings back the horror
What is Alien: Romulus about? Rain lives with her brother Andy on a mining colony, where they only live to work. But they want to get out, which is why they plan to steal a cryo-pod from an abandoned space station. However, there is a good reason why it was abandoned; there is a great danger hidden on the space station.
Alien: Romulus is a love letter to the entire franchise but allows plenty of horror in as well. The set pieces are exciting and creative, and the film’s standout is Andy, played by David Johnson. He showcases several mood changes in the film, contributing to horror while also evoking sympathy.
