LoL series Arcane reaches number 1 in the Netflix charts in 38 countries – Currently more popular than Squid Game

von Alexander Leitsch

The next Battle Royale on Steam will be an interactive action movie, reminiscent of Squid Game

von Alexander Leitsch

Squid Game is the most successful series on Netflix when looking at viewer numbers from all countries. The Korean drama captivated audiences with its battle royale premise. Therefore, one can assume that Season 2 will also be a success. Another success is also likely for Season 2 of Arcane: Arcane Season 2: Release, trailer, and characters – All information about the final season of the LoL series

With malware for Android phones, criminals can empty your bank account, but you can easily protect yourself

Gerald Wessel 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

BingoMod, is the name of a new threat to Android. The malware can do a lot, but you can easily protect yourself, and we will show you how.

What type of malware is this? The Trojan named BingoMod is currently rampant malware that essentially unlocks your phone for hackers and allows them to perform various actions. Experts suspect that only a part of the danger comes from automated processes, while the primary danger stems from manual access via this Trojan.

An American intelligence agency reveals a simple trick for more security on your mobile phone

How is BingoMod distributed? The criminals send SMS and attempt to entice their victims to click on the link contained within through various formulations. They then download a supposed security software – but instead, they unlock all locks.

In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Autoplay

Gateway for hackers

What does BingoMod do on the phone? Once installed, the Trojan monitors all your actions. It records passwords via a keylogger or intercepts SMS with one-time access codes. Once enough information is gathered, cybercriminals begin remotely accessing the phone, especially to empty accounts. Once their dark deeds are done, they delete everything on the phone.

Why do they destroy all data? We do not know the exact reasons, but it is likely that they want to cover their tracks. They effectively reset the phone as you would do when selling it or giving it to someone else for further use, returning it to factory settings.

Protection on Android and iOS

How can I protect my devices? Generally, this applies not only to Android but also to iOS: Only install apps from official sources, such as the Play Store on Google’s operating system. Do not open links sent to you unless you can be 100% sure of who sent them and what lies behind them.

As long as you keep your system updated on your smartphone, the service “Google Play Protect” according to the company’s statements protects you against circulating versions of this Trojan, provided you adhere to the intended channels for distributing software.

Tom Hanks is said to have fired a director 35 years ago because he didn’t like his joke

Niko Hernes 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Not all actors of a movie get along with the director. This was apparently also the case with the dog movie Scott and Huutsch. The original director of the film even believes that Tom Hanks was involved in him losing the job.

What is Scott and Huutsch? Scott Turner is a police officer in a small town where nothing much happens. Since he wants to achieve more, he is moving to a big city in a few days. But suddenly a murder occurs and the only clue is the dog Huutsch.

The film mixed the buddy comedy genre with a dog. According to Box Office Mojo, the film was quite successful. With a budget of only 12 million dollars (approximately 11 million euros), the film grossed 71 million dollars (approximately 65 million euros) in the USA alone. Initially, however, Henry Winkler was hired as the director. But he had problems with Tom Hanks.

Stallone also had his issues with colleagues: An actress was fired after three days because she didn’t get along well with Sylvester Stallone: “We were like oil and water”

A joke that Hanks didn’t like

What happened between Henry Winkler and Tom Hanks? Winkler, the former actor of Fonzie from Happy Days, had a cult status at that time. In the podcast How To Fail With Elizabeth Day (via Spotify), he talked about his short job as a director on Scott und Huutsch.

He recounts how he prepared for the job for 11 weeks. I knew this dog, this drooling bulldog and he became my friend. The star did not become my friend. He meant Hanks. After a joke, he knew it was over.

We were in Carmel, this small, beautiful town on the coast of California, looking for a filming location, and a woman honestly comes running out of a store and says: “Henry, Fonz! Oh my God!” And I say: “And of course, you know Tom Hanks.”

But Hanks did not appreciate this rather unimpressive joke according to Winkler. Only 13 days after filming started, he was fired as director. Although there is no official confirmation, Winkler is sure that Hanks was involved in the dismissal. I knew that would happen that day in Carmel.

After Winkler was fired, Roger Spottiswoode took over the directing chair. Henry Winkler was not so much involved in directing after that. He only directed again in the series Clueless and Sabrina – Totally Bewitched. There are also directors who love their actors: Christopher Nolan has a particular fondness for 3 actors: However, his Batman, Christian Bale, is not among them

Monster Hunter Wilds: With the heavy bowgun, you keep your enemies at a distance and deal massive damage

Ody 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In several short trailers, Capcom presents the weapons with which we will hunt monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam and PS5. After we had our first look at the great sword, it was time for the heavy bowgun on August 6, 2024: And it packs a punch.

What kind of game is this? Monster Hunter Wilds is an action role-playing game developed by Capcom, where you embark on a hunt for increasingly larger and stronger monsters. The actual character progression takes place entirely through your equipment.

You can only upgrade your equipment with materials you find in the game world or receive from hunted monsters. Monster Hunter Wilds is set to be released in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. However, you can already take a look at the available weapons, in this case, the heavy bowgun:

Start video

Monster Hunter Wilds: Capcom presents the heavy bowgun

Autoplay

The heavy bowgun can do both ranged and melee

What can the heavy bowgun do? Its role remains fundamentally the same as in previous installments: It is primarily a ranged weapon that allows you to take down monsters from a great distance – however, you’re not completely helpless in melee combat.

Its clumsiness is offset by a shield that can protect against monster attacks and higher damage compared to the lighter variant. There’s also an auto-guard function that automatically blocks incoming attacks.

The heavy bowgun also features several firing modes and ammunition types. Therefore, the sound of machine gun fire is as much an option as slow single shots. In Ignition Mode, accumulated energy can be used for the special ammunition. This energy regenerates over time and with each successful hit, which with clever use could allow for some powerful combos.

Which weapons are back? Fans of Monster Hunter: World need not worry that their favorite weapon is missing – Monster Hunter Wilds will offer all 14 weapon types that were available in World from the start. These include:

Great Sword
Long Sword
Sword and Shield
Double Blades
Spear
Gunlance
Switch Axe
Energy Blade
Hammer
Hunting Horn
Insect Glaive
Bow
Light Bowgun
Heavy Bowgun

EA introduces a paid Season Pass in FC 25 – Expert warns players who want to exploit this

Thomas Dummer 6. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

A significant change is being made to the Season Pass in FC 25. In addition to the well-known free version, a paid premium variant is set to be introduced in the new successor. A well-known expert suspects a pay-to-win model and potential buyers even now.

What is the Season Pass in EA FC? The Season Pass in EA FC guarantees you additional content in the game in each new season. In FC 24, it consisted of up to 40 levels. Each level holds a new reward for you. These range from club items, such as choreographies or crests, to professional packs, up to unique special cards.

The Season Pass was introduced in FIFA 20 in Ultimate Team and has been available for all players for free so far. To level it up, new tasks are available weekly that provide you with experience points (XP). Once you reach a certain number of XP, you level up.

EA has now confirmed that there will be a cross-season pass in the new FC 25 for the Ultimate Team, Clubs, and Career modes. In all these modes, you will then be able to earn experience points for the Season Pass.

Additionally, there will be a paid premium Season Pass in FC 25.

New Season Pass in FC 25: All known information

Various well-known leakers have already released more information about the new Season Pass, including some details about the new premium Season Pass.

The page “FUT Camp” made a post on X with the headline “New FC Season Pass Details”:

Recommended editorial content

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

What do we know about the new Season Pass? The following details emerge from the post for the Season Pass in FC 25:

in higher levels, there is nothing in the premium Season Pass that is not also in the normal Season Pass
the free Season Pass is essentially what players see in FC 24
the premium pass can be purchased with coins or FC points
there should be no exclusive rewards that would force someone to purchase

How exactly the differentiation between the free Season Pass and the paid premium pass looks is not yet clear from the details.

A well-known YouTuber suspects in a video, however, that EA might entice players to purchase the premium Season Pass if they orient their approach after FC Mobile.

Expert fears pay-to-win model like in EA FC Mobile

Who is this expert? Nick RTFM is a well-known English-speaking streamer primarily focused on football simulations. His emphasis is on FIFA and EA FC. He is known for his often critical videos.

In a YouTube video, he discusses the announced innovations for FC 25. In the course of this, he also comments on the post about the details of the new Season Pass. Watch the video for about a minute to learn his opinion on the new Season Pass:

Link to the YouTube content

The streamer seems to be having trouble making sense of the new information. He does not understand what the premium pass has to offer if there are no contents that would force someone to make a purchase.

At first, NickRTFM thinks of additional and better “cosmetics” for the premium variant, which could be special jerseys or choreographies. But then he realizes that EA has already established a paid Season Pass model in FC Mobile.

In this model, one could climb the Season Pass by purchasing levels with microtransactions.

This is what the expert fears in the case of a pay-to-win model akin to FC Mobile: The streamer fears that some players would immediately take advantage of this model. For example, if EA were to guarantee a powerful pro card at a high level, it would tempt some players to invest real money into the pass.

Players would then buy themselves a team advantage with the strong cards. This would essentially be pay-to-win.

“I will be so toxic”: NickRTFM warns players about

As NickRTFM assesses the FC community, some players would be keen to follow this pay-to-win approach and sink a lot of money into it to gain an advantage. He can easily imagine that some players would already be playing with the best cards from the Season Pass in the first week.

For these players, the streamer is already issuing a warning. He would be “so toxic” towards such pay-to-win gamers. They can prepare for him to send them unpleasant messages after the game.

NickRTFM’s remarks are initially based solely on his assumptions. How the premium Season Pass will ultimately look in the game remains to be seen.

Fortnite mixes its Battle Royale with colorful beans, lets you run parcours for rewards

Christos Tsogos 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, a new collaboration is starting, but this time it’s not comic heroes or anime characters, but the colorful beans from Fall Guys. What you can expect in this collaboration, you will learn here.

Fall Guys in Fortnite? That’s exactly the case. Fortnite and Fall Guys are entering a cooperation by mixing their genres together to provide more entertainment options in Battle Royale and Discover. The new mode is not only meant to provide variety but also to offer another way to quickly get loot during battles in Battle Royale.

You can find the new trailer here:

Courses in Battle Royale for a little variety

What will change? The “Battle Royale” mode of Fortnite will receive a “Fall Guys” update. On the map in the area “Classsy Courts”, you will find various bean idols that you can interact with. Once you do that, a round of Fall Guys kicks off, where you can run, climb, dive, or bounce.

If you complete a course within 120 seconds, you will receive rewards in the form of gameplay loot that you can use later in your match. To ensure you have a memento of the event, you can complete quests to secure a reward for your locker.

In addition to the course arenas that you can test in Battle Royale, there are 6 creations that you can select in Discover. Content creators can also create their own tracks, and with a bit of luck, these tracks will make it into Battle Royale.

FC 25: With a long-awaited change in Ultimate Team, you will finally save time and nerves

Thomas Dummer 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

An item that has been part of the inventory of Ultimate Team for 15 years will be removed in FC 25. The fans agree in their opinion about this change.

What kind of change is it? The contracts for players and managers have no place in the new FC 25 and will be removed without replacement. Contracts were needed since FIFA 09 in Ultimate Team to upgrade players with more games so they remained match-ready.

Player and manager contracts were a leftover from the founding years of Ultimate Team when there weren’t as many packs available. Meanwhile, contracts have become so abundant that they no longer held real value and could be bought on the transfer market for the minimum price of 150 coins.

After fitness cards did not survive the transition from FIFA 23 to FC 24 last year, contracts are now also affected. “Fortunately,” many fans are likely thinking about this decision.

And indeed, one must say that contracts have hardly received attention in recent years and were perceived by most players rather as a waste of time.

User Simon Tuckerman shares this view: “It was such a waste of time to apply 11 contract cards. Everyone had over 500 of them in their club, so it was just outdated.” (via x.com)

In the end, EA likely made the right move with this decision. The reactions from the fans alone reveal that. However, this leaves not much left among the consumables for FC 25.

House of the Dragon: All episodes of season 2 in the final ranking, according to IMDb

Linda Baumgartl 6. August 2024 Reading time 6 minutes

The second season of House of the Dragon has now also come to an end. This is the perfect time to reflect on all the episodes again. What was the best episode, and what was the worst?

What kind of ranking is this? In our list, we take a look at how viewers rated each episode of House of the Dragon. The ranking is based on ratings on IMDb, as of August 6, 2024.

Warning Spoilers! There are massive spoilers for all episodes of House of the Dragon. Only continue reading if you have already watched season 2.

Start video

In the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’, the war begins with fire and blood

Autoplay

Rank 8: The Common Folk (Episode 6)

IMDb Rating: 6.2 / 10 stars
Number of Ratings: 46,280

As Rhaenyra has few options left, she undertakes a risky venture. She tries to make a knight with only a little Targaryen blood into a dragon rider, who unfortunately does not survive the endeavor.

The plan to win over the common folk of King’s Landing goes better. Mysaria sends ships with food that the starving citizens are more than happy to receive.

What is the criticism? Many criticize the episode as a “filler episode” where not much exciting happens. At the same time, the scene with the kiss between Rhaenyra and Mysaria received a lot of hate, leading to outright review bombing.

Overall, the episode was not received as poorly as the ratings might suggest. In the most frequently rated comment on IMDb, it says:

People say this episode is just a filler. But I would contradict that 100%. House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones often revolve around patience. The plot takes time and builds slowly, with meaningful scenes in between that prepare us for new storylines.
joetulgan via IMDb

Rank 7: The Queen Who Always Was (Episode 8)

IMDb Rating: 6.4 / 10 stars
Number of Ratings: 26,680

The season finale was somewhat disappointing for many, as shown by the comparatively poor ratings.

One of the highlights was probably Tyland Lannister, who must impress the daring admiral Sharako Lohar to win her support.

Rhaenyra finally confronts Daemon in Harrenhal, who pledges his loyalty to her. Alicent also seems tired of fighting and offers Rhaenyra a capitulation from Aegon.

What is the criticism? The main point of criticism for the episode is that the expected climax does not materialize.

As a viewer, I feel a bit cheated. I spend all my time waiting for a climax, only to be left with another setup episode after having watched setup after setup after setup.

In FC 25 you do not need a strong Ultimate Team to be successful – A good player is enough

Thomas Dummer 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In the new Ultimate Team of FC 25, you can be successful with a single player. How this works is explained in the following article.

In FC 25, EA introduces a new mode called “Rush.” In Rush, you can compete against other players in a smaller field in a 5-vs-5 mode, with or without your friends. The adapted rules are designed to ensure that you experience a dynamic game with many goals.

Rush will be integrated into the most popular game modes in EA FC. This includes Career Mode and Clubs, but also Ultimate Team.

Why do you no longer need a strong Ultimate Team? The trick of the new 5-vs-5 mode is that you only need to control one of the four outfield players. Therefore, it might be enough to send your best player into Ultimate Team initially to win games.

Start video

EA SPORTS FC 25 | Official Deep Dive into Gameplay

Your star earns you more coins and rewards in UT

In Rush, you earn coins and so-called Rush points for each game, which you can exchange for rewards in Ultimate Team.

Here’s how your star helps you earn more coins and rewards: For wins, you generally earn more coins and Rush points. Sending a strong player onto the field certainly increases your chances of leaving the field triumphant.

With more wins in Rush, you can quickly build a healthier coin balance at the beginning of FC 25. Additionally, one of the rewards you receive for your Rush points could include the next, perhaps even better player awaiting you.

Thus, with a good player and a bit of luck, you can gradually build your entire Ultimate Team.

The new trailer for Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 shows how to deal with alien killer insects

Ody 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In the new Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 for Steam and PS5, a new threat awaits to be turned into minced meat with bolter and chainsword: the Tyranids.

What kind of game is this? Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is a hack-and-slash shooter from the third person, set to be released on September 9 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. It takes place in the Warhammer 40k universe. You can find more information about the game here.

What are the Tyranids? For those who are unfamiliar with this name: Imagine something the size and appearance of the Xenomorph from “Alien,” but now it moves in swarms of thousands of individuals, all solely focused on you.

It is no surprise that the task of eliminating this threat is not left to ordinary soldiers, but to the genetically modified super-soldiers of the Imperium of Man: the titular Space Marines.

The developers showcased what the fight against the Tyranids will look like in the game in a short trailer in July 2024. You can watch it directly here.

Start video

What does the trailer reveal? Developer Sabre Interactive provides more information about enemy behavior in a short gameplay trailer: The Tyranids possess a hive mind that directs each individual and makes them merge into a greater whole. Gameplay-wise, this means that they will want to end your life and that of your combat companions without regard for their own.

The trailer names a class of Tyranid enemies: The Hormagaunt are fast but fragile, and therefore do not pose a significant challenge to a Space Marine when they are alone or in small groups. It is a different story when you are overrun by a whole swarm of these creatures – they could then become a real threat.

The mangaka of My Hero Academia has published his final chapter – The author of One Piece says he can finally play his favorite video game

Jasmin Beverungen 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The last chapter of My Hero Academia sealed the end of the great Shonen-Manga. The big finale will be a life-changing experience not only for fans but also for the manga artist Kohei Horikoshi. Many colleagues congratulate him on the end.

What messages do the manga artists have for him? Many authors of Shonen mangas congratulate on the VIZ page Horikoshi for finishing the manga after 10 years. My Hero Academia started in 2014 and ended on August 5, 2024.

A famous manga artist even reveals what kind of impact My Hero Academia had on him. But also the other messages from the authors touch the heart:

Gege Akutami (Jujutsu Kaisen): ‘Jujutsu would not exist without My Hero. Congratulations!’
Takeruo Hokazono (Kaguarbachi): ‘I remember reading the 17th volume in high school. From Mirio to One For All 100%. What a legend!’
Kouji Miura (Blue Box): ‘Congratulations on the final chapter of My Hero! 10 years of one of the most passionate mangas ever. Well done!’

Even Eiichiro Oda, the manga artist of One Piece, congratulated Horikoshi on the 10 years of My Hero Academia. However, he has a slightly different message for Horikoshi. Oda is happy that the author can finally play his favorite video game.

Almost simultaneously, a new movie of My Hero Academia was released in Japan:

What is Oda’s message? The creator of One Piece says that Horikoshi can now play as much Pokémon GO as he wants. The author of My Hero Academia is a big fan of the mobile game and has already spent countless hours on it.

In a previous interview, he revealed that he showed his progress in Pokémon GO to the four-year-old son of a friend. He wanted to brag about his gameplay time, as Horikoshi had already collected 45 million Stardust by that time (via Reddit). That is an enormous amount for the game.

During the pre-event in WoW, you are leveling faster than ever before to level 70

Cortyn 6. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In World of Warcraft, you can level up very quickly right now. In just a few hours, you can have a fresh character at level 70 – or finally catch up an old one.

The event “Radiant Echoes” is the pre-event for the next WoW expansion “The War Within”. In the first hours, it looked like the event would be a huge flop. The opinion in the community was devastating, players could do nothing with the long waiting times.

But Blizzard reacted quickly. Within a few hours, they revised the entire event, improved it in many areas, and ensured that there are no more waiting times – and almost everyone was happy.

Especially happy are all those who still need to level up some characters. Because with the event, this is now possible in just a few hours.

Start video

WoW: Pre-Patch 11.0 – Trailer for the new pre-event of The War Within

Autoplay

A lot of XP for little effort

Since the revision of the event, there are permanent missions to complete. Simply travel to Dalaran and jump from there into the currently active portal to smash memories until the next full hour.

Completing a memory grants extremely many experience points – nearly half a level at the lower levels, still a good quarter later, in addition to kill XP.

Since you are completing the memories continuously and hardly any takes longer than 2-3 minutes, a level-up rarely takes longer than 10 minutes – in many cases, this will happen even significantly faster, so you could have already caught up to the maximum level in just a few hours.

As a nice side effect, you will permanently receive memory residues. You can exchange these once the character reaches level 70 for strong equipment. Then your character starts with items at item level 480 and can basically participate in absolutely any endgame activity or face the launch of The War Within completely relaxed.

Tips and tricks for fast leveling at the Radiant Echoes

In general, it is more rewarding to actively accompany the entire event. You can stand “afk” in the quest areas of the active memories and then receive a large XP bonus for completing the respective event – regardless of whether you participated or not – but active participation speeds up the process.

This is mainly because the mobs in the memories give a lot of experience points. You just need to “tag” them with an ability or an attack to receive the XP.

Therefore, it is important to choose talents that deal area damage as early as possible so that you can tag many mobs at once, which will then be taken down by the group of players.

Another point is the mentioned group of players. Most of the time, there is a whole bunch of characters flying from point to point. Try to stay with this mass of characters. They speed up the completion of the memories and thus increase the rate at which you earn XP.

Tom Hanks is said to have fired a director 35 years ago because he didn’t like his joke

If you keep these tips in mind, you can level fresh characters from level 10 to level 70 in just under 4 hours – if you pick up XP buffs, like the one from the Darkmoon Faire, then even a little faster.

The only leveling method that is currently still faster is participating in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. There you can level characters even faster. However, these heroes will then be bound to Pandaria for about 2 weeks and can only be played in the rest of the world when The War Within celebrates its release.

A promising science fiction film that cost 250 million dollars, which became one of the biggest flops

Niko Hernes 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Alongside major science fiction successes such as Avatar and Star Wars, there are always major flops as well. Science fiction is simply incredibly expensive. In 2012, Disney wanted to replicate the success of Avatar. They invested a lot of money, but John Carter became one of the biggest flops in cinematic history.

What kind of movie is John Carter – Between Two Worlds? John Carter is based on the book A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, who, by the way, also created Tarzan. The titular hero John Carter is actually a Civil War veteran fleeing from captivity.

Suddenly, however, he finds himself on Mars, where large, unknown creatures reign. The source material is one of the earliest sci-fi stories, with elements that can also be seen in Avatar, Star Wars, or even Star Trek. In 2012, Disney wanted to adapt this story after almost 100 years. They allocated a large budget, but ultimately it resulted in one of the biggest flops in film history.

Another major flop was Mortal Engines:

John Carter – Trailer to the big sci-fi flop by Disney

Autoplay

It was supposed to be a new sci-fi hit for Disney

How expensive was John Carter? In 2009, Avatar celebrated a huge success as a new science fiction IP. In 2012, Disney wanted to establish a new brand as a franchise. John Carter was released. As a science fiction film, it was, of course, also expensive. According to Box Office Mojo, the film cost 250 million dollars (approximately nearly 230 million euros). Marketing costs are, of course, not included in that.

For a film like this, those costs would really have been high. BBC estimates that an additional 100 million dollars (almost 92 million euros) could be added. The film ultimately grossed nearly 280 million dollars (almost 257 million euros), with a disastrous 73 million dollars (almost 67 million euros) in the USA.

Thus, the film incurred a loss of nearly 100 million dollars, assuming 100 million dollars as marketing costs. For the film to be considered profitable, it would have needed to gross nearly 600 million dollars. Screen Rant even calculated a loss of 200 million dollars, including costs for rights and distribution.

Critics also didn’t respond well to the film. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a critic score of 52%.

A cult film from the 80s flopped back then, but it inspired a character in a legendary video game

von Lydia

John Carter had the potential to become a major franchise. The starting situation wasn’t bad. With Andrew Stanton, they had an inexperienced director for live-action productions, but he had previously told an interesting sci-fi story with Wall-E. Since the source material is considered the progenitor of many other stories, there was great potential here as well. You can actually see the similarities between John Carter, Avatar, and Star Wars at our colleagues from Filmstarts: “John Carter” Vs. “Star Wars” Vs. “Avatar”: Who is actually stealing from whom?

Ultimately, however, it was of no use. The big franchise turned into a big failure. 2012 would have been a bad year for Disney if the first Avengers film hadn’t become an enormous success a month later. Have you seen John Carter and what did you think of the film? Let us know in the comments. There are also big flops in other genres: John Wick’s biggest flop is a film that cost over 170 million euros

What is next for Destiny 2? Insiders give clues about the future of the loot shooter

Christos Tsogos 6. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

While hell has broken loose over Bungie and many positions have been cut, many fans of Destiny 2 are now wondering what the future holds for the loot shooter and its content. We have sifted through many insider reports and now share the situation you can probably expect.

Will the content of Destiny 2 change? Those who have been keeping an eye on the current situation at Bungie will know that things are not going well for the developers right now. Many positions have been cut, outsourced, or redistributed, and many teams from Destiny 2 have also been affected – including teams responsible for the story as well as activities.

After such a disaster, many players hope that Destiny 2 will still maintain its course regarding its content, but according to insiders, this will not be the case. Bungie’s plans have also changed, but take this information with caution – Bungie has not officially communicated anything yet.

Insiders reveal new content model

What abundance of content can players expect in the future? Journalists Jason Schreier and Paul Tassi, two well-known figures in the Destiny community, are known for their credible insider information. According to them, as well as some information from Jeff Grubb and leakers, Destiny 2 will no longer provide major expansions like those known from The Final Shape or Witch Queen.

According to insider information, there will instead be so-called content drops. The abundance of content in these drops is expected to be on the same level as the content of “Into the Light” or “Shadowkeep”, meaning they are more likely to be smaller expansions.

According to leakers, these content packs will be released alongside season passes. The content packs are free, while the season passes are paid. Each year, you can expect two content packs and two seasons. A quick overview of the assumptions can be found here:

No more expansions, only content packs
Content packs are as large in scope as “Into the Light” or “Shadowkeep”
Content packs are free for everyone – only season passes cost something
A season is expected to last 6 months
Greater focus on PvE and PvP activities
The story of the season will take a back seat and there will only be an introductory mission followed by grinding activities
“Rallies” is an event that is expected to occur 2x per season
- Introduces new activities for PvP and PvE.
In “Rallies”, you can only wear seasonal gear and participate that way

What about the episodes and codename: Frontiers? There is no information available on these projects, but we assume that the episodes are almost finished and will still be released. As for Frontiers, we strongly assume that Bungie may have either scrapped or postponed that plan for now.

Will Destiny 2 die because of this? That actually depends on your perspective. Fans who are only looking for new content and activities might be pleased with the new focus. However, if you are a long-time fan and want to see cinematic stories, you will likely be disappointed.

Bungie has not yet commented on the studio’s future plans, but the team is likely to speak out in the coming weeks in their TWiD and provide an update.

If the information turns out to be true, Bungie would gradually lose many players. 6 months for a season is a long time, and if there is no new content, Destiny 2 will be left in a semi-dead state.

Sony is transferring a large portion of the specialists to Marathon so that it can finally be released, but whether this title will save Bungie remains unclear. What do you think of the new content model? Are you disappointed? We would love to hear your opinion in the comments!

Final Fantasy XIV is targeting one of the largest markets in the world with the release on a new platform

Karsten Scholz 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

For many years now, Final Fantasy XIV has been one of the best, most successful, and most popular MMORPGs. Now, a new version of the online role-playing game is said to have been approved for one of the world’s largest gaming markets.

What is planned for Final Fantasy XIV? According to a report from the website nikopartners.com, the Chinese authority “China’s National Press and Publication Administration” (NPPA) has recently approved 15 new games for release in China.

Among the approved titles is an unreleased mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV, which is to be developed jointly by Square Enix and the Chinese mega-corporation Tencent and is called “Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World.” This seems to confirm a rumor that has been circulating for a while.

What else is known? Daniel Ahmad, “Director of Research & Insights” at Niko Partners, adds on X that this is supposed to be a standalone MMORPG that will run separately from the PC and console versions of FFXIV.

Additionally, Tencent developer Lightspeed Studios is expected to assist in the implementation, and production is said to be nearly complete. An official announcement from Square Enix could come in the next three to six months (via X).

Everyone wants to go to China, but not everyone is allowed to go to China

What is behind the approval? To publish a game in the Chinese market as a foreign company, a Chinese partner and the NPPA’s approval are mandatory. For example, World of Warcraft was unavailable in China for 18 months when Blizzard and NetEase could not agree on an extension of their collaboration.

Since 2018, Square Enix and Tencent have been collaborating to reach a global audience with joint projects. The Chinese market is highly interesting for several reasons:

Gaming in China is a growth market. According to a report from german.news.cn from February 2024, the Chinese games market recorded a revenue growth of 15 percent compared to the previous year.
The long-term forecasts from industry analysts like mordorintelligence.com also show strong growth rates until 2029.
With over 1.4 billion inhabitants (2020 figure), China is the second most populous country in the world after India. According to a report from nikopartners.com, there were already more than 720 million Chinese gamers in 2020 – a trend that is rising.
For comparison: According to game.de, the association of the German games industry, about 34.4 million people are gamers in Germany.

Accordingly, the potential that the responsible parties at Square Enix see for a mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV, which will be specifically tailored to the Chinese market, is likely to be significant. Whether this version of FFXIV will eventually be released in the West is currently unclear. No problem, after all, fans of the MMORPG have just received fresh content with Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.

Patch 01.001.002 – Patch Notes

Main Updates

Difficulty Level 10 – Super Helldive

A new, extreme difficulty level for the most experienced and skilled Helldivers with impressive new enemies and nerve-wracking challenges.

New mission objectives

Two new secondary objectives will soon be active on a planet near you! With these faction-specific optional goals, you need to attack the human processing plants of the robots to destroy their lethal bio-processor, and you’ll have to venture deep into terminid territory to extract a living larva as a sample that the bugs want back at all costs!

Larger enemy outposts

Raid the strongholds of terminids and robot fortresses on the new difficulty level “Super Helldive”.
The challenge is great, but the rewards are even greater. Thoroughly search the conquered outposts for confidential data and take them with you before you evacuate. May freedom guide you.

New bugs and bots

New and stronger threats to freedom emerge.
A familiar nuisance makes its comeback: The Impaler returns, digs its head in, and launches tentacles from the ground to ambush you. Watch out for its deadly limbs, but don’t miss its weak point when it digs in – self-preservation still doesn’t seem to be its strength!
However, the Impaler is not everything. Get ready for more terrifying enemies! The Rocket Tank rolls in with heavy armor and devastating firepower. The reinforced scout walker has protected its previously vulnerable spot and now has two rockets on each side for more firepower! The Sporesprouter fearlessly pushes through the dense, acidic fog. Accompanied by an Alpha Commander – watch out for his friends!

New swamp planet

Get ready to land on a creepy and foggy version of the swamp planet. Stay alert and don’t let fear overwhelm you.

New environmental hazards

Acid storms temporarily impair the armor of opponents and players. Use this to your advantage, but always stay alert, Helldivers.

Pokémon GO: The evidence for the new, big feature is already in the game – Has shaped a generation of the main games

Max Handwerk 6. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Dynamax in Pokémon GO is getting closer. Now you can already see the first evidence in the game.

What is new? If you update Pokémon GO to the new version 0.325.0-A-64, you can already find the emblems for the new Dynamax feature that has already been talked about a lot due to leaks.

Once you have the new version, click into the Pokémon collection. Now go to the search and click on “Show more.” The game will now show you plenty of filters that you can apply to your collection. There are now two new ones visible – and they display the Dynamax emblem.

Currently, they are still named “?” and “???”, but the emblems clearly show what it’s about:

What does this mean? This is at least confirmation that the Dynamax phenomenon is indeed being introduced in Pokémon GO. And since a filter has already been activated, it can be assumed that it shouldn’t take too long.

Fans are currently speculating about the upcoming new season in Pokémon GO – which starts in September. At least, unless this is a faulty activation of the filter.

But it is also clear: Currently, it is still unclear how exactly the feature will be implemented and when it will be released. We will keep you updated as always.

What is Dynamax in Pokémon actually?

The Dynamaxing defined the Pokémon games Sword and Shield. This phenomenon transformed Pokémon into gigantic versions of themselves.

These monsters had to be defeated in raids with other trainers. They were epic battles, which could definitely become long and challenging.

However, you could also use Dynamaxing yourself. Then you transformed your own Pokémon into a giant monster that could unleash powerful attacks on the opponent for three rounds.

In addition to the “normal” Dynamaxing, there is also the special form “Gigantamax.” This not only enlarged Pokémon, but also gave them a new appearance and a special Dyna Attack. However, this was only possible with certain Pokémon, such as the gigantic Charizard from Sword & Shield, which is also visible in the title image.
