The Summer Game Fest 2024 by Geoff Keighley provided us with numerous trailers for new games. The developer of the popular Steam title Choo-Choo Charles also presents his new game. This time it is not a horror game but a colorful fever dream.
Who is it about? It is about the young developer Gavin Eisenbeisz, who conquered the Steam charts with his game Choo-Choo Charles. He taught himself development at a young age and achieved a hit on Steam with his game, receiving over 13,000 positive reviews (via Steam DB).
In the opening show of this year’s Summer Game Fest, the trailer for his new game will be shown. Cuffbust is surprisingly not a horror game but a fun co-op title where you and your friends try to escape from a prison.
You can watch the trailer for the game here:

Trailer: In CUFFBUST on Steam, you escape from prison with your friends
Play with up to 20 friends
What is the new game about? The developer releases a video shortly after the announcement of Cuffbust on his YouTube channel, where he discusses the idea of the game and its background.
Cuffbust is a multiplayer game that allows you to play with up to 20 people. Additionally, the game features a proximity chat, which means you can hear each other in the game, but not when you’re at a greater distance.
The goal of the game is to escape from a prison. You can throw soap at guards, blow up prison doors, and try to escape with a helicopter.
When will the game be released? The game is expected to be released in 2025. However, the developer directly states in his trailer that it might come out this year and that he is not sure when the game will actually be released.
Reactions from the community: Even if many players likely expected a new horror game from the young developer, many seem to be pleased with the new announcement.
On the night of June 8, 2024, the Summer Game Fest 2024 took place, marking the most significant video game show since the end of the E3. Among the announcements and trailers, one developer’s appearance stood out in particular.
Which game is it about? Alan Wake 2 was released in October 2023, thus entering the race for the title “Game of the Year” quite late. Nevertheless, the horror adventure was a secret favorite for many players.
At the Summer Game Fest 2024, studio head Sam Lake announced the first major expansion for Alan Wake 2: Night Springs will feature three playable characters, each experiencing their own, self-contained story.
And surprise: The release was announced for the following day, June 8, 2024. Additionally, starting today, physical Collector’s and Deluxe Editions of Alan Wake 2 can also be pre-ordered. Besides the announcement itself, Sam Lake particularly excited audiences with his appearance.

Studio Head Steals the Spotlight from His Own DLC
What made the appearance so special? Those searching for the tag “#summergamefest” on X, previously Twitter, will find studio head Sam Lake in 4 of the 5 current top posts. The Creative Director danced onto the stage before jokingly announcing: This was the only way he was allowed to come on stage to announce something exciting.
A clip of the appearance has over 200,000 views on X, even ending before the actual announcement:
Fans describe Sam Lake in the comments as an “absolute treasure” that “must be protected at all costs.” For some, the appearance was even the highlight of the show. On YouTube, a fan writes: “You can’t even imagine how much joy it brought me to see Sam dance onto the stage.”
Where can you buy the DLC? Night Springs is exclusively available for owners of the Deluxe Edition of Alan Wake 2 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and in the Epic Game Store. Until June 13, 2024, you can get the Deluxe upgrade on Epic for €16 instead of €20.

On June 15, 2024, the event Spelunker’s Cove will start in Pokémon GO, where two strong attackers will return. We will show you which ones they are and what other highlights await you here on MeinMMO.
What event is it? On June 15, 2024, we will virtually go to the beach for the start of the event Spelunker’s Cove. True to the event name, which means Cave Explorer’s Cove in English, you can encounter numerous water and rock Pokémon.
Trainers who cannot fly to GO Fest in Madrid during this time can still benefit from one or the other monster from the live event, such as Krabbox, Miniras, or Nasgnet.
However, the return of Rocara and Rihorn is particularly interesting. We’ve summarized why you shouldn’t miss these two and what other content awaits you below.
When does the beach event run? The event Spelunker’s Cove starts on June 15, 2024, at 10:00 AM local time and is active until June 18, 2024, at 8:00 PM local time.
3 highlights you shouldn’t miss at the beach event
Rocara: A special highlight of the beach event is the return of Rocara. The rock and fairy Pokémon from the sixth generation of games first appeared during the live events of GO Fest 2023 in Pokémon GO and has only been available at selected events.
Especially trainers active in the GO Battle League should not miss Rocara. Even though the creature may initially seem inconspicuous, it can score points in the Super League and impresses there with a moveset of Rock Throw, Rock Slide, and Moonblast.
Since it spawns wildly during the event, you have the opportunity to secure a strong specimen and collect plenty of candies.
Rihorn: Another monster you shouldn’t miss at the beach event is Rihorn. Although this ground and rock Pokémon has been around for a long time in the game, its evolution Rihornior is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. For this reason, this is your chance to get a strong specimen and boost your candy supply.
Krabbox: The fighting Pokémon Krabbox, on the other hand, is particularly interesting for shiny hunters, as the creature from the seventh generation is celebrating its shiny debut in the game during the event Spelunker’s Cove. You can recognize it by its red boxing glove-like claws.
Krabbox and its evolution Krawell normal (top) and shiny (bottom)
All spawns and bonuses for the event Spelunker’s Cove
Wild spawns: In addition to the mentioned highlights, you can also expect a number of other monsters in the wild. With a bit of luck, you can even encounter some of them in their shiny forms (*). The following will be waiting for you:
Kleinstein*
Rihorn*
Lampi*
Marill*
Pottrott*
Remoraid*
Nasgnet*
Barschwa*
Rocara
Krabbox*
Pokémon from raids: And in the level 1 and 3 raids, new raid bosses await you:
Level-1-Raids: Krabbox*, Reißlaus*, Miniras*
Level-3-Raids: Onix*, Kabutops, Krebutack
Bonuses: Additionally, during the event, you can also benefit from one or the other bonus:

In one of her latest streams, the German Twitch streamer Fibii surprised her viewers with an unusual story: She tried a casino for the first time and blames her electric car for it.
Who is the streamer? Fibi Pfeiffer has quickly established herself as one of the most prominent female streamers on Twitch. At just 16 years old, her rise began, and today, at 18, she is a well-known figure in the scene.
Whether on Madeira or at the mixing console – These are 5 of the biggest German Twitch streamers
If you have problems with gambling yourself or are worried about a loved one, contact the counseling hotline of the Federal Ministry. The BZgA counseling team can be reached at the phone number 0800 1 37 27 00free of charge and anonymously. Consultation hours: Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for 363 days a year (except December 24th and December 31st).
“It’s kind of fun, and that’s so stupid.”
Why did she try out the slot machines? Fibii recounted that she had to wait at a gas station for her electric car to charge. During those 30 minutes, she discovered slot machines in the gas station and spontaneously decided to try them out. She described how she thought: “I’m 18, I’ll just do it. I’ve never done this before,” and then inserted 10 euros into a machine.
The streamer reported winning 25 euros, holding the money in her hand on-site and thinking: “Shut the f*** up. Why does this work?”.
Did she continue to play afterward? Later in her stream, she admitted that shortly after, she gambled away 500 euros in an online casino. She explained that the loss haunted her, and she felt the desire to regain the lost money.
Fibii further shared that a few days later, she actually managed to win back 600 euros, again in an online casino. “I’ve now made 100 euros profit, and I hope I don’t do this again. It’s kind of fun, and that’s so stupid,” she reflected on her experiences.
Fibii blames her electric car
Why does she blame her car? After detailing her experiences, she assigned the blame to her electric car. She passionately reflected on how it all came to be and then shouted: “It’s all because of the electric car.”
She further explained that her casino visit happened only because she needed to charge her car and discovered the casino machines at the gas station. She wanted to fill the 30 minutes of charging time. “I mean this completely seriously,” she added.
Why did Fibii make it public? Fibii began this part of her stream by explaining that she could actually keep this experience hidden in public. But she emphasized that this is not the right way and that it is important to talk openly about such experiences.
Fibii admitted that this first win made her want to keep playing. She confessed: “I gambled away 500 euros and felt the need to gamble for days, because I wanted to make profit. Isn’t that an addiction?”.
At the end of the segment, she added: “I’m ashamed of it and find it cruel”.

Boss materials and gems are two important resources in Diablo 4, especially for endgame activities. The ARPG even gives them to you, but it can sometimes happen that you overlook them while grinding.
Since Season 4, you are receiving the materials to summon bosses from more sources and the gems themselves no longer drop as items since Season 2, but in the form of fragments. You obtain these among other things from events, the Tree of Whispers, and as drops from enemies with a “purple aura.“`
What are the materials important for? The gems provide you with certain bonuses, such as to your maximum health, your armor, or critical hit damage. Many builds especially require rubies, which provide a bonus to maximum health when you use them in armor.
The boss materials are also useful in the endgame if you want to expand your builds. Many builds only become really strong with certain uniques or even Uber uniques – and they primarily drop from certain bosses.
How many fragments do I need? For crafting the gems, you need especially many fragments at the higher levels:
Damaged gem: 10 fragments, 1,000 gold
Gem: 100 fragments, 10,000 gold
Flawless gem: 1,000 fragments, 100,000 gold
Royal gem: 10,000 fragments, 1,000,000 gold
Start video
Diablo 4 Season 4 “Loot Reborn” in the gameplay trailer
Advance progress and grab materials
How do I get the materials for free? Basically, you receive boss materials and gem fragments for free when you play the season and use the following features:
farming “Wolf’s Honor” from the Iron Wolves
completing stages in the season journey
Why is it easy to overlook? The Wolf’s Honor is not a “requirement.” While some useful items will be lost to you if you do not collect your rewards, there is no special season mechanic this time that you absolutely need. The season journey can also be quickly forgotten when you are grinding and leveling up faster than you can distribute points and collect rewards.
How do I farm Wolf’s Honor? In Season 4, the Iron Wolves are the main theme and a fixed part of all Hell floods – which are already available at World Level 1. When you play the Hell flood, you advance your reputation with the Iron Wolves. This specifically means: Everything you do in the Hell flood, i.e., opening chests, slaying monsters, and completing events, advances your progress.
Within the reputation system, you can earn rewards from the mercenaries. The rewards of the total 18 levels include among other things legendaries, uniques, crafting recipes, but also boss materials and gem fragments. By the way, you can farm and collect them with any character.
You receive gems among other things from the Iron Wolves.But you also receive important boss materials from the wolves.
By increasing your Wolf’s Honor, you also progress your season journey. Because: Within the journey, there are tasks that relate to your rank with the Iron Wolves.
How do I complete the season journey? Even in Season 4, there is again the feature of the season journey with its seven stages. With each completion of a stage, you receive reward chests. These contain among other things legendaries, uniques, crafting materials, but also gem fragments and boss materials.
Fans of the Persona series are eagerly awaiting the sixth installment of the series. However, a new trailer from the Summer Game Fest for Metaphor: ReFantazio proves that the new installment can comfortably wait a bit longer.
What was shown in the new trailer? The new trailer once again showcased how stunning the game looks. In the cutscenes, it flashes and shines at every corner. This may seem overwhelming to some, but for anime fans, the scenes look like a celebration.
Most notably, the characters look super interesting and do not resemble the generic heroes that we have already forgotten after a few hours of gameplay.
Furthermore, the trailer introduced some of the 40 archetypes that will exist in Metaphor: ReFantazio. You can watch the video here:
Start video

40 new archetypes provide variety
What makes the game so special? During the Summer Game Fest 2024, Atlus explained that Metaphor: ReFantazio will have over 40 archetypes. Some of them were visible in the new trailer. This refers to a job system, where different group members can take on various jobs.
With the archetypes, the gameplay becomes much more dynamic, as players can customize the members according to their preferences. Whether knight, ninja, or healer – the choice lies with the players.
The fun lies especially in trying out different combinations of archetypes. With a selection of 40 jobs, everyone should find something to their taste.
The archetypes from Metaphor: ReFantazio resemble collecting the personas from the eponymous series. Only, instead of using our favorite personas, we will be using our favorite archetypes.
MeinMMO editor Dariusz was hoping for cool new shooters at the Summer Game Fest 2024. Ultimately, he liked a roguelite with shooter gameplay the most.
The Summer Game Fest 2024 showed numerous trailers – but there was little for shooter fans. Almost all shooters that were shown were already known. We only got one new announcement and a surprise from Riot Games:
The tactical shooter Valorant is coming to consoles (Xbox Series X/S and PS5)
Otherwise, there were:
A cinematic trailer for the loot shooter “The First Descendant,” which announced the release for July 2, 2024.
Killer Bean, a crazy single-player roguelike shooter where you play as a coffee bean.
A new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, a shooter that offers both coop and PvP gameplay.
There was a highlight for shooter fans, but it just didn’t grab me
What was the shooter highlight? The highlight among shooters was probably the new trailer for Delta Force Hawk Ops. We finally saw gameplay of the extraction mode, and it looked significantly better than I feared – especially graphically.
Moreover, the events of the well-known rescue mission “Black Hawk Down” – which also has a movie – will be playable in a campaign. So there was also something for shooter fans who are not into extraction modes.
Here you can see the trailer for Delta Force Hawk Ops:
Start video
Free-to-Play Shooter Delta Force Hawk Ops in the trailer
Why didn’t Delta Force grab me? Delta Force just didn’t evoke any emotions in me. The gameplay trailer looked quite good and showed exactly what you wanted to see from the game, but I wasn’t sitting in front of my screen thinking “Cool, I’m excited for that!” Delta Force missed generating hype.
In addition, we have received several shooters with realistic graphics and extraction gameplay in recent months. It started with Incursion Red River, then came Gray Zone Warfare, and shortly after Arena Breakout: Infinite. Delta Force needs to deliver more than interchangeable extraction gameplay to generate anticipation.
I felt differently about Hyper Light Breaker. I have been looking forward to this game for months, and the new trailer from the Summer Game Fest further fueled my anticipation. However, Hyper Light Breaker is not a real shooter; it’s a roguelite with shooter elements.
What kind of game is that? Hyper Light Breaker (PC) is not a real shooter, but a roguelite that offers both shooting and melee weapons. The trailer shows, roughly speaking, how a player shoots monsters with a pistol.
As is typical for roguelites, a new attempt starts with the death of your character, which will inevitably happen once or twice. It can be played solo or in online co-op with friends and uses a third-person perspective.
In the procedurally generated open world, which changes with each new attempt, there are various characters and biomes that you can explore. You have gliders and hoverboards available for faster movement. Whether you want to explore the map or not, knowing that it will look different on the next respawn, is up to you.

A new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds was presented at the Summer Game Fest 2024. The video shows some sequences of the monster hunt, which look more dynamic than ever before.
What might change in the fights? In the trailer, a group of monster hunters was hunted by several sand monsters. Subsequently, the tables were turned, and each sand monster was killed one by one. However, there were also gameplay scenes showing a foreign monster appearing – and being surrounded by several sand monsters at once.
This could suggest that we will not only encounter single monsters during missions but several opponents at once. In Monster Hunter World, there was already the special feature that multiple large opponents could meet. This weakened the monsters through other opponents before we had to engage with them.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, this concept seems to have been elevated to a higher level. Perhaps the monsters can interact with multiple opponents, which can only be to our advantage as hunters.
You can watch the appropriate trailer from the Summer Game Fest here:

What to expect with Monster Hunter Wilds
What other innovations are there? Unlike Monster Hunter World, Monster Hunter Wilds will likely offer an open world. So far, the Monster Hunter series has been known to offer individual areas as maps that were only connected by corridors.
If the assumption proves correct that there is an open world, it would also suggest that theoretically more monsters could encounter each other in the open world. This would make the battles much more dynamic and unpredictable, potentially leading to more enjoyable hunts.
Either way: The desert world looked absolutely fantastic in the trailer. The developers also revealed that fans of the series can look forward to the return of a certain monster. The opponent can be seen towards the end of the video, revealing itself as a Thunder Wyvern. The thunder effects also look, just like the rest of the trailer, fantastically good.

Amazon has released a new trailer forNew World. New World: Aeternum is not just a console version of the MMO, but also brings new content to the game. What that content is, you can find out at MeinMMO.
Of course, this is not all, as Aeternum will also bring several new content and major changes to the MMO. It even goes so far that Aeternum is evolving from an MMORPG to an action RPG.
Trailer for New World Aeternum announces console version
The MMORPG becomes an Action RPG
What will be changed? At a presentation to which MeinMMO was invited, Amazon Games presented more information about the new content in Aeternum in addition to the trailer. The update is primarily aimed at adjusting and improving the gameplay and user interface for consoles.

The camera is also supposed to change
The polished combat system is set to receive new animations

Amazon Games itself calls the game an action RPG in this announcement. The changes to combat will also come to the PC. At the presentation, Amazon Games referred to the new New World: Aeternum as an open-world action RPG with MMO elements (such as a player-driven economy).
The gameplay experience for newcomers is also supposed to improve. The leveling system is set to be adjusted, and the main quest will receive a cinematic focus. They claimed to have closely examined player feedback.
Anyone who wants to use a controller on PC can do so with Aeternum. In addition, new content is also coming to the game, which will be released across all platforms through crossplay:
The first 10-player raid
Extensive PvP zone
Solo challenges in the endgame
Character archetypes

Bungie has created a new curious exotic for Destiny 2: The Final Shape: Ergo Sum. This sword in the special slot can drop with various perks that change its playstyle. We will show you how to find the sword and what its God Rolls are for PvE and PvP.
How do I find Ergo Sum? The new exotic sword “Ergo Sum” can be found through the quest “Called Heroes”. Only owners of the The Final Shape expansion receive this quest.
To activate the quest, you need to have completed the campaign first – the difficulty does not matter. Now speak with your ghost in the landing zone “The Lost City”, he will hand you the quest. You must complete the following steps:
Listen to Savathûn’s radio transmission
Complete the mission “Queens, Part 1”
Contact Micah-10 at the Tower
Speak with Cayde-6 at the Tower
Speak with the ghost and complete the following two side missions:
Found in Darkness
Lost in Light
Complete the mission “Queens, Part 2”
Speak with the ghost and collect the item “Dyadic Prism”
Start the new mission near the waypoint “The Sanctum”
If you are looking for a more detailed guide to the individual quest steps, we have included the guide video from Nexxoss for you:

What is special about Ergo Sum? What makes this exotic sword special is the fact that it finds its place in the special slot. Additionally, you can obtain the sword with random perks, and these perks are perks from well-known exotics like Gjallarhorn or Polaris Lance. So, it is worth farming the sword.
Where can you farm Ergo Sum? Ergo Sum can be obtained twice a week through the new Pathfinder system in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler. Additionally, you can get another copy through the patrol events “Overthrow” if you complete the final phase.
We will show you below which God Rolls you should chase for PvE and PvP.
What you should keep in mind: Ergo Sum has not been on the market for long. It is possible that players will find new God Rolls that are better suited for PvE and PvP. Therefore, we will update the list in the coming days if better alternatives emerge.
Also, note that the God Rolls are not a “must-have”. Feel free to experiment wildly and find out which combinations suit your playstyle better. Besides Ergo Sum, there is also an explosive sniper that deals heavy damage.

Bungie gives its Guardians no time to rest. With “The Final Shape”, a new DLC has been released in Destiny 2, and on Friday, the new raid “Edge of Redemption” will also launch. When it starts exactly and what you should know about it, you will find out here.
Update, June 7, 2:00 PM: We have added images of the winner belt and the contest emblem. Additionally, there is new info about the raid and which items are disabled for the World First.
When does the raid in The Final Shape start? Mark your calendar for Friday, June 7 at 7 PM.
The raid “Edge of Redemption” starts on June 7 for all players, but first in contest mode.
The contest mode will last until Sunday, June 9 at 7:00 PM.
You have 48 hours to master this difficult challenge in contest mode.
Bungie stated that the contest mode of the raid “Edge of Redemption” will have a power cap of 1965 for all encounters.
After the contest mode ends, all Guardians can normally join the raid and experience the new content without the extra challenges of contest mode.
We will show you in the following section what you should know about the contest mode and where the setting is located.

Raid in The Final Shape – Everything about Day One and the setting
Will there be a Day One run? Yes, there will also be a Day One run for the raid “Edge of Redemption” and this will be held in contest mode.
What is the contest mode? The contest mode, or contest mode, is a mode that Bungie only activates at the launch of each new raid. Players are massively downgraded from their light level, unfair and broken exotics are disabled, and enemies hit you with deadlier and much more accurate shots.
Bosses also become true sponge-like creatures that can absorb massive damage. Essentially, it is a nightmarish version of the affected raid, where Guardians will struggle for hours.
After the contest mode, the players who are the first to successfully survive and complete the raid will be rewarded with a prestigious championship belt and an emblem – that’s how it has always been.
The belt for the best
Everyone else who was slower but still completes the raid within the contest mode timeframe will receive an exclusive raid emblem, which can also only be earned within the first 48 hours.
This is what the Day One emblem looks like
Bungie itself advises to complete the campaign of “The Final Shape” and the Exotic quest “Wildcard” to experience the story in the best possible way.
What should I pay attention to? It’s important to mention that the Well of Warlocks has been nerfed to the ground. Your long-standing supporter is off the table, and you now need to find alternatives.
Titans have good chances of taking the place of Warlocks with their Banner of War or Void Focus and their Bubble. Be prepared and also secure some new exotic gear from “The Final Shape”.
Additionally, certain items have been disabled for the contest mode to ensure fair conditions in the raid. You should be aware of the following:
Where will the raid take place? Anyone who has completed the story knows that the threat of the Witness has not yet been banished. He has been injured but has retreated into the Monolith and transformed into something monstrous.
The Guardians just need to defeat him and remove the darkness from the Traveler. Which bosses are specifically waiting for you in the raid is not yet known. More on how you can quickly increase your power level can be found in our guide: Destiny 2: How to quickly reach power level 2000 in The Final Shape

Shortly before the release of the new raid “Edge of Redemption”, Bungie is conducting a brief downtime. Destiny 2 needs to be in top shape for Day One, and therefore you will be kicked out of the game for a short time. We will show you for how long.
Update, 16:00: The servers are active again and you can log in. Get ready, the new raid is about to start.
What you need to know today: Today Bungie is taking the servers down for a very brief downtime before the release of the new raid “Edge of Redemption”. Bungie wants to ensure a smooth launch, which is why you will be kicked from the servers for a short time.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape „Edge of Salvation“ Raid Trailer
Maintenance on 07.06. – All Times for Server Down
These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact downtime. The servers are planned to be unreachable today for 1:00 hours.
Here is the schedule for the maintenance:
Around 15:00 the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
At 16:00 the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again. The downtime ends
This is to be considered during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance is running, there may be recurring connectivity issues in the game. Moreover, there may occasionally be long waits at the login because Bungie is gradually granting access to the servers to avoid problems from too high server load. Therefore, you may have to wait longer before you are back in the game.
What Changes with the New Update in The Final Shape
Following issues are known: There are also many issues in The Final Shape that players are complaining about. Bungie has noted some, but it is not known which of them will be fixed (via bungie.net). However, the following bugs could be addressed:
PC players who have 3D audio enabled cannot hear any sound
The pop-up “Leaving for the Final Shape” has the wrong key art
When prism weapons activate their new ulti while gliding, they fall
The hunter aspect that increases your blades of fire ulti does not work
The description of the arc staff ulti of the hunter does not mention a blind effect after a three-combo or slam attack
What does it say in the patch notes? A complete overview of all solved problems and improvements will be revealed only after the update has been released.
We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. Because it is possible that the patch notes may change or be corrected by Bungie.
The patch notes for the new update will be posted here soon.
The current in-game event of Diablo 4 is causing some confusion in the community. The Blizzard developers are taking this as an opportunity to keep a highly useful buff activated for longer than the intended ten days.
What kind of buff is this? Originally, the anniversary version of the Mother’s Blessing was supposed to go live at a later point and grant all players 25 percent more experience and 50 percent more gold for ten days.
“Originally, we planned to go live with the action in a few days, but we have received the feedback and the confusion about it, so we will activate the ‘Mother’s Blessing’ action this afternoon at 1:00 PM PDT.
We will update the blog accordingly with this information. The event will no longer just last ten days, but until June 20 (the end of the anniversary event). We appreciate all comments and feedback.”

The series NCIS is currently the third longest scripted TV series of all time. For over 20 years, it has captivated generations of viewers in front of their televisions. For more than twelve years, many fans overlooked that the series featured a father-son duo on camera together.
What kind of series is NCIS? NCIS aka Navy CIS is an American crime series. The focus is on an investigation team from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, stationed in Washington D.C., the capital of the USA.
In each episode, the team investigates various (murder) cases that involve members and relatives of the American Navy. Each season also introduces an overarching storyline that provides the red thread throughout the respective season.
The main character from seasons 1 to 19 was Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He leads the team around Timothy Tim McGee, Anthony Tony DiNozzo, and varying female team members like Caitlin Kate Todd, Ziva David, and Eleanor Ellie Bishop.
Here you can watch the trailer for season 17 – only Gibbs, McGee, and a few side characters remain from the original cast:

12 long years almost unnoticed: The father-son duo in NCIS
Which father-son duo is it about? It is actually about Leroy Jethro Gibbs, portrayed by Mark Harmon in seasons 1 to 19. As the main character, his past is repeatedly highlighted.
Between 2008 and 2020, Mark Harmon’s son Sean Harmon stepped into his father’s role several times. He can be seen as a young Gibbs in a total of seven episodes during that time.
In an interview regarding the upcoming new series NCIS: Origins with Hello! Magazine, Mark Harmon discusses his relationship with his son. He specifically addresses how he approaches acting:
I am proud that he takes his work seriously and how he approaches the role of an actor – not only in this show but also regarding what he wants to achieve in his life’s work.
In fact, Sean Harmon is not the only family member of the Harmons who made it into the series: Mark Harmon’s wife Pam Dawber took on a guest role in season 18.
What is the current status of NCIS? The 21st season of NCIS is currently airing on American TV. The main cast has been almost completely replaced over the years, with a few cameos from old characters.
In addition, several spin-offs are being actively worked on: In January 2024, NCIS: Origins was announced, which will focus on a young Gibbs. Mark Harmon will return for voice-overs, similar to Jim Parsons in Young Sheldon.
Fans of the characters Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David can also look forward to their very own spin-off: In NCIS: Tony & Ziva, the two live with their daughter Tali in Paris. However, when Tony’s current employer is attacked, the three begin a flight through Europe.
The Summer Game Fest is approaching and the rumor mill is heating up. Particularly exciting for MMORPG fans: An alleged image from the PlayStation Store shows a new console version of New World!
Update from June 7, 2024: According to industry insider Tom Henderson, New World Aeternum is expected to be released for consoles in October 2024 (via X).
What exactly can be seen in the PlayStation Store? Apparently, the entry in Sony’s virtual store has been removed again. For a time, however, there was a new console version of the online role-playing game listed under “Sponsored” with New World: Aeternum.
You can view the alleged leak thanks to the post by OMG_R3A11Y on Reddit:

What’s behind the leak? Whether this is indeed an early release by Sony or a fake is not clear from afar. However, it is clear that there were already indications that Amazon Games could announce a console version of New World at the Summer Game Fest.
On June 4, 2024, MeinMMO reported that the developers of the MMORPG are introducing a new server structure that relies on so-called shards. These are different copies of the game world, on which the population of the MMORPG is expected to be better distributed in the future. Apparently, the operator is anticipating a surge of players in the not-so-distant future.

New World: Rise of the Angry Earth – Trailer for the Expansion
Almost simultaneously, the people responsible at Amazon Games teased an “exciting announcement for New World.” Since the last expansion “Rise of the Angry Earth” was unable to raise player numbers to a level justifying comprehensive adjustments to the server structure, we also speculated about the announcement of a console version of New World.
Almost two years ago, there was already a hint that Amazon Games might be working on a console port of the MMORPG. In addition, the combat system of New World is wonderfully suited for the controller. And with The Elder Scrolls Online, it was seen how positively a console launch can impact player numbers.
Wait and drink thistle tea: If there is any truth to the leak, there should be a trailer as well as the official announcement to be seen at today’s opening show by host Geoff Keighley.

Many fans praise Marvel’s Midnight Suns, yet MeinMMO author Max Handwerk has ignored it so far. Now you can get the game for free.
What kind of game is this?Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a game full of superheroes, but made by the studio behind the XCOM games. Accordingly, the game fully focuses on strategic battles, but also on an exciting story.
You create a hero who allies with various figures from the Marvel Universe to neutralize a supernatural demon threat.
This is what it looks like in the trailer:

Midnight Suns free in the Epic Game Store, cheaper on Steam – Now I can give it a try
Since Midnight Suns was released, I have been eyeing the game because I am a big superhero fan and have devoured games like Spider-Man for the PS5. I also have a penchant for the Marvel movies, series, and comics.
Moreover, Midnight Suns has been praised since its release in 2022: by critics as well as fans who have played through the game. You often read that the atmosphere of the game, the story, and especially the interactions among the heroes are simply enjoyable. There are plenty of interactions between the heroes – here you can apparently dive into a beautifully designed world that tells an exciting story as a superhero fan. This group aspect has also captivated me, metaphorically speaking, in games like Baldur’s Gate 3.
What held me back was the expected gameplay. I am unsure if the strategic grid-and-card approach of the XCOM makers is something for me. This is likely quite far from a swing-and-punch game like Insomniac’s Spider-Man. It is possible that it will still fully engage me – but it could also go wrong, I thought. And I never wanted to spend money solely for the story.
How do you get it for free? Midnight Suns is currently indeed available for free in the base version at the Epic Games Store. If you have an account there, you can simply download the game and add it to your collection. This offer is valid until June 13.
Also cheap on Steam: If you’re not too fond of EGS and prefer to check on Steam: The game is currently available at a lower price there too – in the Digital+ Edition, you currently pay €19.99 instead of €79.99. This offer is valid until June 17.
How was the game rated? On Steam, for instance, Midnight Suns has a “Very Positive” review average of 82%. Metacritic gives the game a rating of 83%, which is also positive. And you can currently get it for free or cheaper – so it presents a good opportunity to catch up on the game if you have missed or ignored it so far. Personally, I am curious. And if you’re less into Marvel but still very much into superheroes: Here are 5 superhero series that are more for adults.
