Soldier from Over-Earth shows in 8 seconds why the cyborgs are a greater threat in Helldivers 2 than the robots at release

Niko Hernes 15. February 2026 Reading time 3 minutes

There is a new planet that the soldiers of Über-Earth must defend in Helldivers 2. For many, this is one of the toughest challenges of all time and evokes memories of the release and the fight against the robots. However, Cyberstan is more dangerous, as a short clip shows.

On February 8, 2024, Helldivers 2 was released, and the soldiers of Über-Earth stormed the enemies’ planets to liberate them with democracy. While the bugs had tough counterparts, their fight was still manageable. A much hellish experience was then provided by the planet Malevelon Creek.

The fight against the robots was hell for many soldiers. Hulks and Devastators made their lives difficult.

With the last update, the Planet Cyberstan was introduced, bringing a new type of enemy with cyborgs. A soldier demonstrates in just 8 seconds why this planet is even more dangerous and harder than Malevelon Creek.

Cyberstan is everything I hoped for from a planet controlled by bots

What does the player show? In a new thread on Reddit, user Fazun mocks the soldiers who find Malevelon Creek harder than Cyberstan. In the clip, you can see countless cyborgs beating on a player, while tanks and other vehicles render any escape impossible.

In 8 seconds, the user shows how one can quickly find oneself in a hopeless situation in Cyberstan. About the users who find Creek harder, he additionally says: Stop making it part of your personality, you damn boomers!

Nowadays, Malevelon Creek would be a completely different planet

What is really harder now? Difficulties are of course subjective feelings, but one must not forget that Helldivers 2 is constantly evolving. New weapons and stratagems regularly expand the options available to Über-Earth soldiers. While just under 2 years ago, there was only a fraction of that, today you can vary with entire builds.

More importantly, however, is another evolution: players are continuously getting better and gaining more experience. The baseline is simply higher than it was 2 years ago when the majority consisted of newcomers. Nowadays, players know more about what they need to do and how to cooperate well.

Developers need to adjust to this as well when creating new enemies and challenges. The game has to become organically harder to keep it exciting.

And one must also take a look at Cyberstan on paper: Not only are there many robot enemies, but the cyborgs with their flying kicks and roundhouse kicks are a dangerous combination. You need to keep an eye not only on the close threats but also on the tanks and vehicles in the distance.

One could argue that the human escort missions were more frustrating, but overall, Cyberstan is likely harder than Malevelon Creek 2 years later.

In 11,000 hours I tried out over 330 MOBA heroes and for me it is clear: Valve’s new hit on Steam has the best

Nico Scheibel 15. February 2026 Reading time 3 minutes

Deadlock is the new hit from Valve on Steam. The MOBA shooter is still in a closed testing phase and received a major update in January 2026. As part of the update, 6 completely new heroes were released, which for MeinMMO author Nico are among the best in the entire genre.

I have been playing MOBAs for over 13 years now. Starting with Dota 2 and later attempts in League of Legends, I have accumulated over 10,000 hours of experience.

In August 2024, it finally happened and I received my access to Deadlock. Since then, I have spent over 1,200 hours on it and play almost daily with great enthusiasm. For me, Deadlock is a masterpiece.

The most important element of a MOBA are the different heroes. Deadlock has received 6 new characters with the “Old Gods New Blood” update, the last of which was released on February 12. In the countless hours with various MOBAs, I tried over 330 characters, and for me, it is now clear: Deadlock has the best.

Autoplay

From the Priest with Three Weapons to the Unicorn Girl

A huge plus for Deadlock is the setting and the world. Deadlock takes place in an alternate world where a natural event called “The Maelstrom” has opened the gate between our world and the world of spirits and demons.

In 1940s New York, all sorts of creatures and people roam the streets of the giant city. Each of them is unique, like the unicorn girl Celeste or Venator, a priest who, on God’s behalf, wants to destroy every monster with his three weapons.

The entire setting of Deadlock just feels fresh and is something I have never experienced before. Valve also elaborates the lore significantly, as every character has a reason for participating in the ritual, which is a round of Deadlock.

Deadlock has one more dimension

The next big plus for Deadlock is the vertical gameplay principle. While Dota 2 or LoL have to rely on an ISO perspective and horizontal gameplay, Deadlock offers an additional dimension. And that is a huge advantage for the gameplay principle of most heroes.

Let’s stick with the new hero Celeste. She has the unique feature that she falls slower and can maneuver better in the air. Also, with her abilities, she can glide through the air a bit and attack her opponents from above.

Thanks to the third dimension, Deadlock offers significantly more options to design heroes that feel fresh and follow a unique playstyle.

Prefer extremely mobile or rather static?

So far, there are 38 different characters in Deadlock, which is of course not comparable to the almost 130 from Dota 2 or the over 170 from LoL. However, I believe that Valve, with their years of experience with MOBA heroes and the available mechanics of Deadlock, has created the most interesting heroes by far.

Especially the new 6 stand out immediately with their distinctly different playstyles:

Apollo is an extremely mobile fencer and at the same time a strong team fighter.
Venator is rather sluggish, has no movement ability, and relies on his ample arsenal of weapons.
Rem is the new supporter and the first real small hero who can use the tunnel systems beneath the map. His playstyle is also a delightful change from all the other MOBA characters I know.
Graves, the necromancer, plays very statically and relies on her zombie army once she places a large tombstone to play around.
Silver is another unique feature. She starts the battle as a human, who is easily vulnerable, and ideally ends it as a strong werewolf who has taken on the entire enemy team.
And last but not least, of course, Celeste, who flies through the air and rains down multiple abilities.

Of course, other MOBAs also have great characters with special playstyles. However, Deadlock invites to entirely new playstyles by perfectly combining systems like movement or items with the abilities of the Deadlock heroes.

The year 2025 brought many and really big changes for Deadlock. Not only were there a total of 10 new heroes, but the entire map was also revamped. Additionally, the item system received an upgrade. What exactly happened, you can find out here: Valve massively changed their new shooter on Steam in 2025, but the biggest problem still remains

Developers of a new life simulation ask on Steam to stop unusual reviews: “We pose no threat”

Niko Hernes 15. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Review-bombing is known on Steam and other platforms often linked with negative reviews. However, a developer currently faces the opposite problem: there are too many positive voices that do not appear to be genuine.

Which game is it about? On February 11, 2026, the life simulation Starsand Island was released on Steam (and in Game Pass). The game can be most closely compared to Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon. You build your island, form partnerships, and live in a cozy world designed by you.

Although the game is still in Early Access, it has received 87% positive reviews on Steam with 2,591 ratings. However, it seems that the developers are not entirely pleased with the positive feedback.

In a statement, the Chinese developer Seed Sparkle Lab asks to stop using fake reviews, even if they are not negative.

Autoplay

Developers want to focus on the game

What do the developers say about the reviews? On Steam, the developers released a statement regarding the fake reviews for the game. According to the post, they have noticed a large number of positive comments about Starsand Island on various platforms.

At first, they thought the game was simply well received, but some of the comments seemed unusual: there are many reviews after only very short playtime, which appeared closely together in time. In the post, they suspect AI-generated reviews.

Although they have no proof, it feels like a deliberate strategy. Another strange aspect is that one has to buy the game in order to leave a review. According to the post, some accounts have returned the game after leaving a review. In the end, they say:

We want to clarify: Developing an indie game is not easy. We simply want to focus on developing a good product and providing a better experience for players who truly enjoy our game. So, whoever is behind this, please stop. Please let us develop our game in peace. We pose no threat to anyone.
Seed Sparkle Lab on unusual reviews (Source: Steam)

Why can even positive reviews be harmful? When accounts with very short playtime or unusual statements, possibly generated by AI, post reviews, it can quickly lead players to think the developer is fabricating them.

If one wishes to remove these fake reviews, it is likely to cost the developer time that could be spent on further developing the game.

Are there only positive reviews? Even though most reviews on Steam have been positive so far, there are also negative voices. Some players report bugs, such as quests being uncompletable. VillainQueen (via Steam) feels that the game has great potential but currently has some issues.

Also, starlit_scarlett (via Steam) generally likes the game but finds the behavior of the developers suspicious. She considers the anti-cheat in a single-player game unnecessary and criticizes the day-one DLC, which costs €19.50.

If you want to try it yourself, you will pay only €27.29 instead of €38.99 on Steam until February 25. Developers are in constant communication with players and the market, but just a few seconds can lead to a game failing: “We deserved a failure without schadenfreude” – Highguard is the fatal miscalculation of a market fueled by anger

Twitch streamer was banned 5 years ago for his behavior, now advises a young viewer

Johanna 15. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch and YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. was long considered a streamer with a high escalation risk. Dangerous things repeatedly happened in his streams, and he had a controversial reputation for a long time. Now he addressed a few instructive words to a very young viewer.

What does IShowSpeed say to the little viewer? On Valentine’s Day, IShowSpeed hosted an IRL stream where he was out and about in the city with one of his friends. During the stream, he was dressed as an older man. Viewers approached him repeatedly during the stream to take pictures with him.

So did a little girl, who handed him her phone. Presumably for a photo, but it didn’t get that far because IShowSpeed addressed a few words to the young viewer:

Come only into my stream when I’m playing video games, okay? And always ask your mother: ‘Can I watch Speed’s stream?’. Because I’m not just for kids.

– IShowSpeed on YouTube from 1:25:44

IShowSpeed further explains that it comes down to what he does in his stream to decide whether the girl should watch. After all, you never know what would happen in his stream, whether he would “do a backflip off a building”.

The streamer concluded: “And if I do something good, when I play Roblox or Steal a Brainrot […] then you can watch my stream.”

Autoplay

IShowSpeed has a controversial past

What was IShowSpeed like before? This positive and mature interaction with a young viewer is still something new for IShowSpeed. The streamer has been through several controversial situations:

Twitch permanently banned IShowSpeed in 2021 after he threatened a woman with violence. His ban led to him becoming a major YouTube streamer.
In 2022, IShowSpeed barked at a boy in Fortnite when he couldn’t pay him 100 dollars over a bet.
Also in 2022, he was banned in Valorant, because he sexistly insulted a woman.

Meanwhile, IShowSpeed is no longer banned on Twitch and streams simultaneously on YouTube and Twitch. Since his unban on Twitch he has already reached a milestone and has changed his content and behavior for the better.

Although IShowSpeed himself no longer does any particularly bad things in his streams, the same cannot be said about his viewers. After all, the streamer still attracts large crowds of viewers. One viewer, for example, committed a crime on camera or the masses of viewers caused a bridge to collapse.

Despite the dangerous crowds that IShowSpeed attracts, his positive development is certainly worth noting. You can read a compact summary of IShowSpeed’s career here on MeinMMO: He barked at children and insulted women, thanks to 1.60 euros he is now the biggest gaming streamer on YouTube

Larian wanted to reveal to you that Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming 9 years ago, but the hint had to be toned down

Christoph Waldboth 15. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

In 2023, Larian Studios released their acclaimed role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3. However, in the predecessor title Divinity: Original Sin 2, the developers sprinkled hints about it. Some of them were simply too obvious and had to be toned down before release.

What kind of hints are those? In 2017, Divinity: Original Sin 2 was released by developer Larian and thrilled many role-playing fans. At that time, no one knew that the studio would be taking on a venerable series for their next game: Baldur’s Gate.

As Larian’s CEO, Swen Vincke, has now revealed, there were quite explicit hints before release that Baldur’s Gate 3 was in the works. They were supposedly so revealing that they were adjusted by the developers at the last moment.

Autoplay

Looking back, everything becomes clear

What does Swen Vincke say? In a stream on the YouTube channel Larian: Channel From Hell, the head of Larian played Divinity: Original Sin 2 and talked about the work on it. Regarding the hints and Easter eggs in the game pointing to the then-in-planning Baldur’s Gate 3, he says:

Originally, the reference to BG3 was very explicit. We did that at the last minute because we actually wrote the first draft of BG3 in the summer when D:OS2 was released, as we had a contract with Wizards of the Coast and had to do it at that time. It was very bad.
Swen Vincke

Since the work on Baldur’s Gate 3 was still secret at the time, the Easter eggs could not be too obvious. They were toned down for the final version, but those who find them today will realize a lot in hindsight.

What other Easter eggs are there in the game? There are subtle hints in various places. For example, your companion Fane talks in the epilogue about octopuses working on secret plans. The necromancer Tarquin also mentions strange creatures that feed on thoughts. Does that sound familiar?

It naturally reminds one of the Mind Flayers from Baldur’s Gate 3. Additionally, the game features glasses filled with maggots – here too, one immediately thinks of the tadpoles from Baldur’s Gate 3.

These parasites nest in the heads of their victims and cause them to transform into Mind Flayers. Whether you use the power of the parasite is up to you, but the missing consequences of that disappointed MeinMMO demon Cortyn.

Significantly more difficult is recognizing another allusion: At one point, Tarquin mentions a script language that goes by the name “Gustavchen”. “Gustav” is not only the name of Swen Vincke’s dog, but it was also the project name of Baldur’s Gate 3 during development.

By the way, the standard name for the player character remains Tav.

Larian Studios didn’t hold back from including Easter eggs in Baldur’s Gate 3 itself. They include references to Divinity: Original Sin 2. For example, there are hints about the necromancer Tarquin in a letter from the cleric Lenore De Hurst to the wizard Lorroakan.

Now the question remains to what extent the developers have already sprinkled hints about their next game, Divinity, in Baldur’s Gate 3. One Easter egg, the community believes it has already found: More than 2 years after the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, fans discover a hint in the game about Larian’s new game Divinity

Blizzard puts so much love into Diablo 2 that even an expert on Diablo 4 is now raving about it

Benedict Grothaus 15. February 2026 Reading time 4 minutes

Diablo is getting a ton of new content in the coming weeks, spread across three games in the series. Kicking off is Diablo 2: Resurrected, whose new expansion you can already play. MeinMMO spoke with Diablo expert Rob, known for his content on Diablo 4. Even he is excited.

Who is the expert?

Rob2628, or simply Rob, is a streamer and YouTuber focusing on various action RPGs, particularly Diablo 4 – although he praises the competition from Path of Exile 2 for its challenge .
His expertise lies particularly in extremely strong builds for the endgame and a deep understanding of the game’s mechanics. His opinion is often crucial for our tier list of the best classes in Diablo 4.
Now that Blizzard has revealed how Diablo 2: Resurrected will continue, the streamer wants to “grind” in the remaster for a while – at least until the Lord of Hatred expansion for Diablo 4 arrives. And so far, Diablo 2 has him fully hooked.

What exactly is new in Diablo 2? In case you missed it: Blizzard has announced the Warlock as a new class for Diablo 2, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 4.

While information about the Warlock in Diablo 4 is still to come, he is already playable in Diablo 2 as part of the “Reign of the Warlock” expansion – enough reason for our veteran Karsten Scholz to immediately start downloading Diablo 2 again. However, the expansion contains much more content than just the new class.

One highlight is the significantly larger inventory, but particularly – or at least for Rob, very interesting – the expansion of the endgame. Because Blizzard has really stepped up:

The terror zones that have existed for some time are now harder. Starting from the difficulty level “Hell”, you’ll be hunted by demons that get stronger. If you defeat them, you can sacrifice their loot in the horadric cube to initiate an even crazier boss fight.

Autoplay

Diablo 2 “does not need an endgame”, but the new challenge sounds way too good

Shortly after the release of the new information on the night of February 11 to 12, I met briefly with Rob to exchange impressions – especially since the expert always has a very good eye for details that sometimes escape me.

Although Rob is mainly looking forward to what is yet to come in Diablo 4, he sounds super excited about what Blizzard has created for Diablo 2:

I know the lead developer, Matthew Cederquist, who also made the video that came out a few days ago. And he has mega passion. […] With the terror zones, it’s just a better-developed endgame system with a similar UI to what was in Diablo 3 with the adventure mode.
Rob in interview

Particularly the new Herald of Terror, which we think could function similarly to the Butcher in Diablo 4, seems to appeal to him. “This is awesome,” he says dryly, “hopefully it will also have a really good challenge.”

The legendary Butcher has appeared 4 times in the history of Diablo, fans are now debating which one was the most terrifying

von Nicole Wakulczyk

Blizzard finally brings the feature that everyone has been demanding since the release of Diablo 4, directly causing complaints

Because actually, Rob thinks, Diablo 2 is not known for its endgame: “Diablo 2 is hard to play through, but in the endgame, once you surpass level 80 or so, you are already the god. Many say Diablo 2 basically does not need a challenging endgame.”

However, if Blizzard is now planning new challenges with the terror zones and new bosses, that is very welcome. “I’m really excited,” he adds, revealing that he also wants to play the new content of Diablo 2 for a few days before continuing in Diablo 4.

Rob usually produces his streams and videos in English for the wider audience, but he now has a channel for German videos on YouTube, where guides and tier lists will appear once Lord of Hatred releases.

“I am pleasantly surprised, this is so awesome”

Since Blizzard surprisingly released the expansion for Diablo 2 right away, we were able to discuss the live content shortly thereafter. Rob’s opinion: Reign of the Warlock and the new class are doing everything right. In particular, he likes the Warlock:

“The Warlock is simply mega versatile. I hope he appears similarly in Diablo 4. You have so many options, every build has its niche. You can play a physical build, fire, magic summons… I find that mega cool.

And he is of course already very strong. Not as crazy as the Spiritborn in D4 back then, not a million times stronger, Diablo 2 does it a bit better. The Warlock is not completely OP, but still very strong right from the start.”
Rob in interview

One of his colleagues took less than 5 hours to reach the famous Uber bosses with a new character. Visually, the class is also convincing: “The skill animations with the fire AoE, the death star on the ground that explodes… I just logged in and I’m already really excited again.” Although we are only speaking on voice, I hear his grin while he talks. There are no three days between the release and this conversation, and he has already reached level 96.

Rob also finds the price of the expansion, 25 euros for the new content, fair. For the amount of content, with the improved terror zones, the improved chests, and indeed the Warlock, Reign of the Warlock is really strong even without a 6th act. The story of Diablo 2 is actually perfect as it is. A particular highlight for him: the rune tab in the inventory that a 26-year-old game received before the much newer Diablo 4.

During the conversation, we also chatted about our favorite classes and speculated about what exactly Blizzard could be planning with the Warlock in Diablo 4. Rob mentioned something I hadn’t thought of: With the Warlock – and the Paladin – new classes are in the game.

New classes mean more coins that can be thrown into the wells. Into the wells that are thought to be for the greatest secret in Diablo, at least fans suspect: the cow level. And yes, with Lord of Hatred, we might actually be getting a lot closer to that: What is the cow level in Diablo and why does everyone want to find it?

The best Baratheon fights in the new series of Game of Thrones for the hero – But who are the other fighters?

Sophia Weiss 15. February 2026 Reading time 7 minutes

In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, hero Dunc must face a judgment of the Seven. He barely manages to find six allies for the fight against Aerion and his knights. These 7 now stand for Dunc’s honor, life, and freedom.

Why is there a judgment of the Seven? In episode three of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Ser Duncan the Great, or Dunc, rushes to the aid of the puppeteer Tanselle. Prince Aerion Targaryen feels insulted by her show in which she kills a dragon. As the prince of the Targaryen dynasty, he sees this as a slander against the royal house and breaks Tanselle’s fingers as punishment.

He probably would have done more violence to her, but Dunc’s squire, Egg, fetches his master, who then beats Aerion to a pulp. It takes two guards to stop him. For hitting a prince, Dunc now faces the death penalty.

Furthermore, Aerion’s older brother, Daeron the Drunk, accuses Dunc of kidnapping: Daeron should have been watching the youngest brother Aegon Egg Targaryen. But Aegon has traveled to the tournament independently after Dunc. To avoid his father punishing him, Daeron shifts the blame for the disappearance onto the hedge knight.

Both accusations are serious crimes, and Dunc insists on a judgment by combat – as is his right as a knight. But Aerion wants the judgment of the Seven, which is also his right. Discounter Joffrey probably does not expect that Dunc will find six more fighters to stand for him.

However, the insufferable prince is completely miscalculating: Dunc finds six knights. And here we introduce them to you.

What is a judgment of the Seven?

A so-called judgment of the Seven is a special kind of judgment by combat, a trial by combat, in the religion of the Seven from the Game-of-Thrones universe. In this, seven knights fight on behalf of the accuser and the accused. Only knights can demand a judgment of the Seven and participate in it.

The facts are similar to a judgment by combat regarding the outcome: The one who wins is right. The loser is the one who falls in battle or surrenders. If the accuser loses, the accused is acquitted. If the accused loses, he is found guilty. If the accused cannot find seven knights to fight for him, he will also be found guilty.

Honor and Justice – These 7 Knights Stand for Dunk

Ser Duncan the Great

As the accused knight and not prevented by an injury, Dunc also steps forward himself. After all, one defends their own innocence best with their own sword. Armed with Ser Arlan’s blade and Tanselle’s freshly painted shield, he charges into battle. He received the armor from his foster father, a smith with heart.

Why does he fight for Duncan? Duncan fights to defend his own honor and freedom. Of course, he also stands up for himself.

Ser Robyn Rhysling

Ser Robyn Rhysling is hired by none other than Dunc’s squire Egg. The two met in episode 3 when Egg was preparing himself and Dunc’s horse Thunder for the tournament. In the books, they had known each other earlier.

After another joust, five years before the events of the series, he lost an eye. Thus, he is visually the most daring among Dunc’s allies.

Why does he fight for Duncan? In contrast to Dunc, he says that Ser Robyn would die as a loyal servant of the king for the crown. But when the crown goes against the gods, Ser Robyn will stand against the crown. For him, Dunc is innocent.

Here are 5 of the strongest weapons from Warhammer 40,000, number 1 is just a card

Benedict Grothaus 15. February 2026 Reading time 5 minutes

In the world of Warhammer 40,000 there are dozens of absurd weapons with greater destructive power than we could ever imagine. But which of them are the truly strongest? MeinMMO attempts to explore this question.

[toc]

If there is only war in a world, the selection of war tools is correspondingly large, and no universe demonstrates this as impressively as Warhammer. Various huge factions fight for dominance in the galaxy or for mere survival, using all their might.

However, a small note directly upfront: Comparing the “strongest” weapons in Warhammer 40,000 is almost impossible and more or less irrelevant. If multiple weapons can annihilate a planet or entire systems, which one is stronger?

Additionally, the slowly awakening Necrons have historically the strongest weapons by far. To ensure this list is not just a compilation of Necron technology, we considered various criteria in our evaluation to determine the strongest portable, planetary, or galactic weapons.

In our attempt to list the strongest of these weapons, we compared the technologies of all peoples and had many of the results evaluated by AI. Of course, we checked the results and supplemented them with our own expertise. Enjoy reading!

Autoplay

Place 5: The Necron weapon that no armor can withstand

Of the weapons that “normal” soldiers can carry, the laser rifle is by far the most widespread and significantly stronger than its reputation. However, it is far from being the strongest “hand” firearm.

That falls to the Necrons. Their Gauss rifles are the standard armament of most of their warriors and have a special property: They dissolve matter layer by layer, and that in split seconds.

A shot does not penetrate the target; it slowly disintegrates it on a molecular level. Not even the thickest armors of the Space Marines are prepared for this. Gauss rifles can penetrate any armor – or rather: vaporize it.

Thanks to the Mechanicus, there are now initial attempts to make this Xenos technology available to the Imperium, with partial success, but not with the same efficiency as the weapons of the Necrons. Gauss weapons come in various forms, such as cannons, scalpels, or vehicle- and platform-mounted weapons.

The most brutal species from Warhammer 40,000 has its own racing game on Steam, costing only €9 for a short time

Ody 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

The orcs from Warhammer 40,000 may not be the most peaceful species in the universe, but they also find joy in racing – at least as long as it goes Boom. A racing game with the brutal greenskins currently costs only €9 on Steam, but you should hurry.

Which game is being talked about? The game is called Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks and is being developed by Cage Element Inc. The crazy racing game was released on May 22, 2025, on Steam and has only a few players, but they celebrate it wildly.

In Speed Freeks, you play as orcs who participate in brutal combat races against each other. You choose a ride – ranging from speedy racers to tanks and helicopters – and dive straight into the action. Moreover, you can customize your vehicles (or flying contraptions) with new paint jobs or parts.

You can get the game on Steam for €8.99 instead of the usual €19.99, but only until February 16, 2026.

Here is a trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks:

Autoplay

Really good Ork racing game, yet without a large player base

What is the game about? You won’t find a story mode or anything similar here. However, there are three different game modes you can play solo with bots or in multiplayer.

In the “Killarallye,” two teams alternately race and fight with their vehicles. The winner is the team that collects the most points.
In the “Mördakonvoi” game mode, each team escorts a Stompa, heavily armed fortresses on two legs. Your goal is to slow down the opponent’s Stompa with bombs so that yours crosses the finish line first.
In the “Kustom-Rallye,” you can play on maps created by other players – or you can be creative in the “Creation mode” and build a death track yourself from over 400 assets.

Regarding multiplayer, Speed Freeks currently has hardly any active players on Steam. In the last 24 hours, the peak of simultaneous players was just 31 (according to steamdb.info; as of February 14, 16:46).

Those hoping for lobbies full of players will be disappointed right now. However, those who don’t mind playing mostly with and against bots can still have a lot of fun here: Of over 340 reviews on Steam, 85% are positive.

Steam user NozZza writes in his review: “This game doesn’t deserve to die, still getting updates while it has 10-20 player base that’s insane.”
Slayaz12 states in his review: “a super polished and awesome game. i love how racing and fighting are incorporated simultaneously.”
Greenreaper must have become a real orc after about 18 hours, his review states: “WAAAGH!!!!!!! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!” (he gives a thumbs up)

Orcs are one of the most popular races from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, which is likely due to their rather simple-minded nature. But one question fans are asking: Why aren’t they also available in the Chaos variant? The community wants to know why: Why are there no Chaos Orcs in Warhammer 40,000? The community has a simple but clever answer

Famous singer raves about a 25-year-old MMORPG, especially one detail she really likes

Ody 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

In a recent interview, the well-known singer Chappell Roan raved about a 25-year-old MMORPG. She was especially thrilled by its soundtrack.

Who is she? Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, aka Chappell Roan, is an American singer-songwriter. Besides her music, she is known for her striking makeup and impressive costumes that could easily come from a video game. In 2024, Roan even appeared on SNL and looked as if she came straight out of a game like Baldur’s Gate 3.

Just recently, her appearance in Fortnite was announced with a new trailer. The singer is the Icon artist for Fortnite Festival Season 13 and will get her own skin in the game.

That the singer is also an enthusiastic gamer has been expressed several times. She is a personal fan of the Zelda games and swears by The Sims 2. In a conversation with musician Isimeme “Naomi” Springs, aka Hemlocke Springs, she now raves about a 25-year-old MMORPG.

Here you can see the trailer for Chappell Roan’s Fortnite appearance one more time:

Autoplay

Chappell Roan loves the soundtrack of RuneScape

Which game does the singer rave about? She means RuneScape, specifically the original from the early 2000s. The original RuneScape was released in 2001, but over the years, it evolved into a whole franchise.

Roan mentioned RuneScape while she was discussing her debut album The Apple Tree Under The Sea with Springs. The album reminded her a lot of the game’s soundtrack.

Springs initially didn’t even know which RuneScape was being talked about. When Roan asked, Springs responded, “Is it a romance game?” However, Roan quickly clarified that she was talking about the MMORPG from the early 2000s. In the interview, she shares (via Nylon.com):

No, not that, but it’s from the early 2000s and has video game sounds. It’s really medieval synth stuff. I’m a video game girl and I love synthesizers and weird stuff from the 80s. When I hear that, I think… “Sever the Blight” was one of my favorite songs…

Sever the Blight is a song by Hemlocke Springs, with whom she conducted this interview.

The RuneScape franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. On this occasion, the developers of RuneScape 3 shared a new roadmap for the year. However, they made one important change immediately: RuneScape presents new roadmap for 2026, immediately dismisses Pay2Win

ARC Raiders will punish players who have exploited the big exploit, but they say: That will probably never happen

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

ARC Raiders will punish players, as they used an exploit. However, the community believes that punishments are unlikely. The team behind the shooter, Embark Studios, is considered too lenient towards cheaters.

In ARC Raiders, a bug allowed players to duplicate items an unlimited number of times. Players complained that the shooter became nearly unplayable because of it. The developer has since fixed the exploit and stated, that they intend to punish players who exploited it.

Overall, the community seems quite relaxed about this. The developers have always been forgiving towards exploiters and cheaters in the past.

Autoplay

Community considers ARC Raiders developers “soft” on cheaters

What does the community say about this? Initially, they are not overly concerned about the announced punishments. Some explain that Embark Studios has previously handled cheaters and scammers quite leniently. Punishments have been mild, if any were issued at all, and that is unlikely to change significantly. One user writes on Reddit.com:

It [the statement] might scare some kids if they see the post, but they have been lenient towards exploiters and cheaters so far. I’m not sure why they would suddenly decide to be strict now.

Cheaters have been an issue in ARC Raiders for a while

Cheaters have long been causing trouble in ARC Raiders. In one case, this even escalated to Embark Studios banning numerous players. However, they simply bought the game again and continued to cheat. Cheaters are repeatedly caught, but real punishments are rare. And scammers keep appearing: sometimes relatively harmless, when thousands of rubber ducks appear in the game world, in other cases quite detrimental to the enjoyment of the game, by allowing players to walk through walls.

On the other hand, there are currently no solid statistics on how many players have been banned so far. Recently, the head of ARC Raiders stated that they want to ban tens of thousands of players, but they “must ensure that we are locking out those who deserve to be banned” (via frvr.com).

Account bans are at least a topic that many in the community currently criticize. Account bans do not help anyone. If people were actually banned, they would just buy the game again, create a new account, and continue cheating.

Many users have already demanded that Embark Studios should prefer hardware bans. This would make cheating significantly more difficult.

At least: When cheaters are banned, however, the developers do not just ban the troublemakers; they also take good care of the victims of the hackers. You can read more about this on MeinMMO: ARC Raiders bans cheaters from the game but also considers the victims

Players say Diablo 4 feels better than ever: Soon offers unique content instead of just copying the competition

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

The community explains that Diablo 4 is getting better and better. This is mainly because the developers are increasingly relying on their own ideas. The game is finally getting an identity that the action RPG has long lacked.

Diablo 4 was released in June 2023, and since then more than 2 years have passed. Blizzard has since invested significant time and resources into the further development of the action RPG.

And many players say that Diablo 4 has been developing in the right direction since then. Above all, there is an effort to work on its own identity rather than just copying the good ideas of the competition.

Autoplay

Diablo 4 is working on its own identity, and it is being well received

What was the players’ criticism? According to the community, the developers of Diablo 4 attempted to adopt many ideas from the competition to convince players of the predecessors or to appeal to veterans of Path of Exile. However, players claim this led to a problem: The game lacked its own identity or direction. It tried to be many things without really achieving any of them.

As the well-known streamer and critic Michael “Bellular” Bell stated, Diablo 4 lacks an identity and many things felt unfinished at release. This was due to an inability or unwillingness to agree on a target audience. In the end, neither new players nor long-time veterans were satisfied with the game.

What is the current situation? With the new expansion, “Lord of Hatred,” this could change. A user on Reddit writes that Blizzard is currently on the right path with Diablo 4:

[Diablo 4] seems to be finding more of itself in the next expansion. It strengthens its endgame pillars, offers more unique things for Diablo 4, and appears to be heading in a better direction. Time will, of course, tell, but I am excited.

Overall, players seem quite satisfied with the state of Diablo so far. Some have already stated that Season 11/12 could be the turning point for Diablo 4 and Blizzard, and that the hack ‘n’ slash could finally become a really good game.

Because the development team has put many improvements into the game and additionally released the Paladin, a long-requested class for the action RPG. And the new expansion in April 2026 could also provide fresh content.

In a few months, there will be more content for Diablo 4: The second expansion will be released on April 28, 2026, and is already available for pre-order on all platforms.

2026 is supposed to be an important year for Blizzard, but the president of the company admits: “Not everything’s going to hit”

Ody 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

The year 2026 is set to be a big one for Blizzard. At least that’s what the company’s head, Johanna Faries, says. She is optimistic about the future, but also makes it clear: “Not everything’s going to hit”

Where does she say that? This statement was made in a new episode of the official Xbox podcast. The president of Blizzard was invited as a guest. You can watch the episode in full on YouTube. Blizzard has been part of Microsoft’s gaming division since the acquisition in October 2023.

Joanna Faries has been president of Blizzard since February 2024 and talks about the 35th anniversary of the company, the major updates for many Blizzard titles recently, and what players can expect.

With a new season and 5 new heroes at once, Overwatch is really ramping up:

Autoplay

Blizzard plans big things for the year 2026

Blizzard has delivered a lot in recent months, more is to come: Fans have received a lot to be happy about in the last months.

WoW finally got housing
Diablo 4 has received a Paladin class and Diablo 2 Resurrected has also received a DLC
Overwatch has also received a major update.

That’s not all, says Faries. “We will simply continue to lay the groundwork for what will hopefully be a very, very big year,” the president states regarding 2026.

No major announcements were made in this podcast episode, but BlizzCon is expected to provide that this year. “The teams are cooking,” says Faries. They are very excited to present some “major announcements or maybe surprises”.

There’s sort of a reliability that players can depend on us to launch in big ways, launch in surprising ways. Maybe take some zags! Not everything’s going to hit. That’s gaming. But in many ways, let’s understand where we are going – not only as a company, but by franchise, by game.

Such a surprise could be a new game in the StarCraft series. The strategy series has been dug up by Blizzard only for new expensive skins in Diablo 4 recently. There hasn’t been a new game since StarCraft 2 about 10 years ago. However, insiders believe that the new StarCraft could be a shooter, not a strategy game.

Blizzard back on the victory tour – Is the time of terror over?

Cortyn 14. February 2026 Reading time 8 minutes

For years, Blizzard stood for quality and great games – in the past. Now it seems to be on the upswing again. Is this Blizzard’s second spring?

For many years, Blizzard was synonymous with fantastic gaming experiences. Whether it was Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, or Overwatch – whatever Blizzard was involved with and released became a success and was loved by the community.

But that time is long in the past. A huge sexism scandal, questionable decisions in the games, and a noticeable decline in quality have caused Blizzard to lose much of its former glory.

Where one once had the impression that Blizzard’s games were “made by gamers for gamers,” the prevailing sentiment in recent years has been: It’s all about developing content that generates as much revenue as possible and milking players for all they are worth.

That’s a reputation that’s hard to shake off.

The latest Blizzard cinematic resonates with the WoW community:

Select a MMO video…

But Blizzard seems to be on the path to improvement. The vast majority of overarching news in recent weeks and months has been positive. Sure, there are small news items with criticism, but the overall mood seems to be good across pretty much all of Blizzard’s games. How did this happen?

The Sad Chronicle of Overwatch

Even today, the journey of Overwatch and its successor Overwatch 2 feels like a bad joke. With Overwatch, Blizzard revolutionized the hero shooter genre and practically had the license to print money. Overwatch was on everyone’s lips, and regular content updates with new heroes, game modes, and cosmetic rewards provided a constant incentive.

It was simply a good, well-thought-out game that was played nearly nonstop in my circle of friends. At least until the development of the game suddenly came to a standstill. Because Overwatch suddenly sank into lethargy. The meta froze because updates dried up, and there were virtually no new contents anymore. The reason for this was Overwatch 2 with the promise of a PvE mode, an extensive campaign.

But for this promise, Overwatch (1) was sacrificed. The many months without updates had left the player base starving.

When Overwatch 2 then launched hastily and especially without the PvE mode (which was supposed to be added later), the disappointment was huge. It grew even larger when it became clear after a few months that: Yes, the PvE mode is not happening. We can’t do it; the community doesn’t want it at all. Many had already begun to wonder what substances were circulating among the Blizzard executives at that moment.

In the last year, Overwatch has then made a turnaround. It remains extremely ironic that it has renamed itself from “Overwatch 2” back to “Overwatch” after the community sarcastically claimed for years that the 2 only stood for broken promises and false expectations.

But right now, Overwatch is in a better position than ever before. This is not only due to a huge influx of new heroes, like the absurd jetpack cat or the tank-mommy Domina, but also due to the variety of well-thought-out game modes:

The 5vs5 mode, the standard mode of Overwatch 2, is loved by some and hated by others.
Those who prefer a classic experience can opt for the 6vs6 mode, which alleviates some pressure from the tanks and thus feels more relaxed.
Those who like it bizarre can play Stadium – here all heroes have absurd powers that become even more outrageous with each round.

Domina Overwatch — Domina is the new heroine in Overwatch – one of 5.

Even though there is no PvE mode, the story of Overwatch continues. Story content in the form of videos or comics that can be viewed in-game is exactly what a part of the community desires.

Currently, Overwatch is in better shape than perhaps ever and might experience its second spring.

On the next page, we’ll talk about World of Warcraft and Hearthstone.

Players blame moderator for the failure of Highguard, but an employee of Larian says: This is nonsense

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Many believe Geoff Keighley is the reason for the failure of Highguard. However, senior developers say the game would have failed anyway, and it has little to do with the host of the Game Awards, who simply presented the game.

The raid shooter Highguard is seen as highly controversial among players and failed to meet its high expectations at release: of the approximately 100,000 players at launch, only a few thousand remain, according to the numbers on SteamDB.

Many see one person as the “executioner” of the game: Geoff Keighley, the host of the Game Awards. Keighley presents the shooter Highguard at the end of the Game Awards on December 11, 2025. Until shortly before release, it was unclear what kind of game one could expect from Highguard.

However, the release of Highguard turned into a debacle, and many say Geoff Keighley is responsible for it, as he raised expectations so high. Now, Michael Douse, Publishing Director of Baldur’s Gate 3, has clearly spoken against this assumption. According to Douse, the problem was never Keighley. And another developer adds: Highguard was never a good game.

Autoplay

Douse and other senior developers defend Keighley

This is what Douse says: In a post on X.com, Douse stated that Keighley should not be blamed for the release chaos. The issues are much more complex, according to him. Blaming everything on one person would not be a good idea. He explains:

The layoffs at Highguard are, like many others, a sad reminder of the economic instability of an industry that demands much but promises little. It is immature to blame a man for showing a trailer in his show and shows little understanding of the industry.

Eric Arraché, founder of Critical Hits, adds that Keighley even gave the game the best chance, but the game just wasn’t good, and Keighley cannot be blamed for that:

If anything, [Keighley] gave Highguard the best chance it could have. The problem was that the game was not that good (the map was too big for 3v3), and I believe there were some server issues on PC on launch day. Aside from that, it seems that companies are pulling out much faster since the Concord fiasco.

That Highguard can be a lot of fun despite its problems, explained MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus in his article. Many just play the game incorrectly and therefore do not have fun with it.

From “One Last Thing” to the next industry meme: MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski analyzes how the Highguard case exposes the dangerous tension between idealistic game development and ruthless algorithmic logic of 2026: From “One Last Thing” to the Concord meme: Highguard is the fatal misjudgment of a market that lives on anger.

Pokémon GO: Meowth as Gigantamax Boss – How to defeat it on Dyna Battle Day

Paul Kutzner 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

You can challenge and catch Mauzi as a Gigantamax boss in Pokémon GO for the first time. MyMMO shows you how to do it best.

When does the Dynamax Battle Day take place? The event takes place on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Here you have the opportunity to obtain the Gigantamax form of Mauzi for the first time.

What bonuses are active? During the 3 hours, the following bonuses are active:

the collection limit for Dynamax particles is increased to 1,600
energy sources renew more frequently
you will find Gigantamax-Mauzi at all energy sources
8 times the amount of Dynamax particles from energy sources

On February 15, 2026, the following bonuses are also active from 12:00 AM to 5:00 PM:

double the amount of Dynamax particles from walking
walking distance for Dynamax particles is reduced by 75%

Throughout the event day, you can also perform a total of 4 special trades. The limit for remote raids is also increased to 20 from February 15, 2026, 1:00 AM until February 16, 2026, 5:00 AM.

Autoplay

How to defeat Gigantamax Mauzi in Pokémon GO?

What are the best attackers? Since Mauzi is a Normal type, only Fighting type moves are very effective against the monster. The strongest attacker you can use is Gigantamax Machamp. If you have this monster, you should definitely use it.

If you don’t have it, there are still some other Pokémon that are suitable as attackers against Gigantamax Mauzi. These include:

Dynamax Urshifu with Wrecking Blow or Counter
Dynamax Gallade with Low Kick
Dynamax Machamp with Counter or Karate Chop
Dynamax Alakazam with Counter

Make sure that your attacker is not only leveled up to a high CP but also that their Dynamax move has been leveled up to Level 3.

What are the best defenders? To absorb the damage from Gigantamax Mauzi, you should also rely on a strong defender. The following monsters are suitable:

Zamazenta (King of Shields) with Metal Claw
Zacian (King of Swords) with Metal Claw
Dynamax Urshifu (Focused Style) with Deep Strike
Gigantamax Olangaar with Bite, Deep Strike or Low Kick
Dynamax Amoroso with Mud Shot or Water Gun

Zamazenta is the best defender here. If you have this monster, you should rely on it. On one hand, it has very strong defensive stats, and on the other hand, it is a Steel type, which has a type advantage against Mauzi’s attacks.

How should the battle proceed? You should assign roles within your team: Who acts as the attacker, who acts as the healer? Regardless of your role, use your defender Pokémon until the Dynamax meter is charged.

Afterward, switch to your attacker or healer to use your attacking or protective moves. Once the Dynamax meter is depleted, switch back to your defender and start charging the Dynamax meter again. Repeat this until Mauzi is defeated.

How many trainers are needed? Expect that you will need many trainers for the battle. Gigantamax raids are among the toughest challenges in Pokémon GO and require a lot from you.

It is currently hard to say exactly how many trainers are needed. However, you should expect that you will need at least 10 trainers. Each group of 4 trainers from your raid forms a team.

In addition to the Gigantamax debut of Mauzi, several other contents are expected in Pokémon GO in February. These include events, raids, and spotlight hours. If you want to know when which contents are coming up this month, feel free to check out our overview with all events in February 2026 in Pokémon GO.

Steam fulfills an important wish of the players: You can finally admit when you have bad PC hardware

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. February 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Steam has a new feature: You can specify your hardware when leaving reviews. This is important information for many reviews that users have long requested. However, there are still a few limitations.

Valve has released a new beta update for Steam that brings you some new features. You can find the full patch notes directly on Steampowered.com.

The perhaps most exciting new feature for many players: You can now add information about your hardware specifications when publishing a new game review or updating an old one.

Autoplay

Valve meets an important demand that players can specify their hardware

Players have long demanded that users must specify their specs on Steam. Because when a player complained about poor optimization, it was never clear whether the game was really poorly optimized or if the user simply had weak hardware.

If a player then writes “the game doesn’t run on my PC” and it becomes clear that the user’s hardware is significantly below the requirements, many reviews can be better assessed and analyzed in the future. Because inadequate optimization in PC games has been a persistent issue in the community for years.

What limitations are there? So far, the feature is purely optional and voluntary. Players must therefore specify their hardware voluntarily, and Steam does not do this automatically. How many users will really make use of this voluntariness is another question.

Because players who write on Steam, “the game doesn’t run on my PC,” still hide their PC hardware at the end because they do not want to admit that it ultimately lies with their PC.

Valve has been working on various features that help you with the performance of your games for a while now. One function, for example, now provides you with extensive performance data of your games. This way, you can see whether it is indeed your PC that causes the game not to function properly: Steam has received a new feature so you finally see who is to blame for the poor performance of your game

10 Losers of Sauercrowd – these Twitch streamers could have performed better in WoW Classic Hardcore

Karsten Scholz 14. February 2026 Reading time 10 minutes

Das Sauercrowd-Event der deutschen Twitch-Szene läuft und läuft und läuft. Einige der Content Creator gaben bislang jedoch keine allzu gute Figur ab. MeinMMO stellt euch einige der größten Verlierer aus WoW Classic Hardcore vor.

Seit Ende 2025 läuft das Sauercrowd-Event der deutschen Twitch-Szene. Angeführt von Metashi, HandOfBlood und Papaplatte machen hunderte Content Creator die Welt von WoW Classic Hardcore unsicher, um aller Voraussicht nach am 22. Februar gemeinsam im ersten Raid des Geschmolzenen Kerns zu stehen.

Viele der Vollzeit-Streamer konnten von ihrer Teilnahme am Event schon jetzt spürbar profitieren. 10 klare Gewinner von Sauercrowd hatten wir euch bereits in einem anderen Artikel vorgestellt. Doch wo viel Licht ist, da fällt bekanntlich auch Schatten. Welche Streamer zählen also zu den Verlierern des Events?

Für eine Antwort wollen wir ganz bewusst nicht auf die nackten Follower- und Sub-Zahlen schauen oder mit dem Finger auf die Streamer zeigen, die mit ihrem Azeroth-Besuch spürbar Reichweite und damit Geld verloren haben. Wir wünschen allen Teilnehmern von Sauercrowd den größtmöglichen Erfolg!

Stattdessen konzentrieren wir uns mit einem Augenzwinkern auf Persönlichkeiten, die aus anderen Gründen keine allzu gute Figur gemacht haben. Vielleicht taucht hier sogar die eine oder andere Nase auf, die wir schon zu den Gewinnern gekürt haben – das Leben ist halt nicht immer nur Schwarz und Weiß. Wenn es für euch weitere Verlierer gibt, haut diese gerne in die Kommentare!

[toc]

Achtung: Während so eines großen Events ändern sich die Zahlen für Follower, Subs und Co. quasi im Minutentakt. Gleiches gilt für das Level manch eines Charakters. Unsere Angaben stammen vom 13. Februar 2026 – 11:28 Uhr.

MontanaBlack

Twitch-Kanal: MontanaBlack88 | Follower: 5,7 Mio. Follower | Sauercrowd-Charakter: –

Sicherlich denkt ihr jetzt: Moment mal, MontanaBlack macht doch gar nicht bei Sauercrowd mit? Das stimmt. Doch wäre der deutsche Streamer wohl sehr gerne ein Teil des Events gewesen. Nur wurde er nicht eingeladen, und sich selbst einladen, das macht man nicht – so die leicht quengelige Beschwerde von Monte in Richtung der Sauercrowd-Veranstalter.

Und obwohl er bislang keine Berührung mit WoW hat, sagte er seinerzeit: „Also ich wäre auf jeden Fall am Start bei so einem World-of-Warcraft-Turnier. Warum nicht, Digger?“ Er würde sich sogar jetzt noch drüber freuen, wenn ihn jemand bezüglich einer Teilnahme ansprechen würde.

Autoplay

Metashi, einer der drei Gründer des Projekts, erklärte danach auf YouTube: „Monte ist einfach zu erfolgreich und zu Variety-mäßig aufgestellt. Wir dachten, es bringt nichts, ihn einzuladen, weil man halt mindestens 3 bis 5 Wochen an Spielzeit mitbringen müsste.“

Dieses Mißverständnis konnte also geklärt werden. Doch warum ist Monte dennoch nicht beim Sauercrowd-Event dabei? In einem Short auf YouTube erklärt er, dass er beim Start des Events in Amsterdam war, um dort seinen Urlaub zu verbringen. Mit der zweiten Welle im Projekt durchzustarten, das würde er auf gar keinen Fall machen wollen.

Halten wir also fest: Erst wollte keiner mit MontanaBlack spielen, dann wollte Montana nicht mehr mit den anderen spielen. Ist also wie im Kindergarten – beim 4 Jahre alten Nachwuchs gibt’s das alle paar Wochen. Grund genug, um Monte mit in diese Liste zu nehmen. Wir hätten nur zu gern gesehen, wie sich einer der größten und bekanntesten Content Creator aus Deutschland in WoW Classic Hardcore schlägt.

The 2 largest MMORPGs 2026 adjust their release while a competitor retreats to next year

Karsten Scholz 14. February 2026 Reading time 5 minutes

It’s time for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG News in 5 Minutes.” We summarize the most important news about the best genre in the world. You can expect hopeful updates, several delays, and a lot of Sauercrowd.

Highlights of the week:

Originally, Chrono Odyssey was supposed to be released in 2025. However, the difficult beta led to a rethink among the developers. Now it is clear that the ambitious MMORPG will not be released this year for PC and consoles either.
A slight delay also applies to ArcheAge Chronicles. The MMORPG successor to ArcheAge is now supposed to be released in the 4th quarter and not the 3rd quarter of 2026 – Source: Publisher Kakao Games in the latest financial report.
Aion 2 is expected to be released in the 3rd quarter of 2026. On the home market, NCsoft has apparently already achieved measurable successes in the fight against bots, Source: mmorpg.org.pl.
When he logs into World of Warcraft, he loses a beloved companion. A Warlock should therefore never log back into the game.
The motivation behind Xal’atath’s actions in World of Warcraft has been a mystery until now. Now we finally know. By the way, some clever World of Warcraft fans have noticed that Xal’atath appeared in Wrath of the Lich King. But only now can it be properly understood.
“The current endgame formula is extremely boring” – fans are currently discussing a major weakness of current MMORPGs.

What else has happened? The sudden end of Ashes of Creation will echo for a long time. Our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz addresses in his current assessment whether the MMORPG from Intrepid was indeed – as claimed by some critics – an attempt at fraud from the beginning: Was Ashes of Creation a scam from the start? Everything speaks against it, despite the bitter end.

How dark World of Warcraft is a new cinematic shows, with some horror elements that are really uncomfortable:

Select a MMO video…

Pax Dei assures: I’m fine, I’m not going offline

This is what happened in the big MMORPGs:

A new shop in World of Warcraft wants your money. This offers housing items that you can’t get otherwise.
Furthermore, the developers from Blizzard presented the new transmogrification system for WoW, at blizzard.com.
From February 11 to February 18, 2026, the new world event “Heart Week” is taking place in The Elder Scrolls Online .
From February 9 to February 23, 2026, the world event “Love is in the Air” is taking place in World of Warcraft.
The new Demon Hunter in World of Warcraft has a problem because he is incomplete. Almost ironically, the Overwatch version looks better.
On February 12, Update 3.21.0 for Throne and Liberty was released. Included: the Lunar New Year event, New Year coins, and a host of improvements for daggers, staves, and more. You can find the German patch notes at playthroneandliberty.com. Also, in the latest edition of Tico Talks on YouTube there was a preview of the big April update.
Also on February 12, the new update for Black Desert went live. Look forward to events Red Sea Bream, Lunar Year, and Valentine’s Day, as well as extensive class adjustments. The German patch notes? At playblackdesert.com.

Since 2014, The Elder Scrolls Online has continued with new content and expansions. The year 2026 could be one of the most important for the MMORPG. In a new YouTube video, MeinMMO explains whether it’s worth getting back into the game.
