Games Updates

It’s not uncommon for most games to have regular updates and patches, as this is not only the best way to release new content but also a way to fix previous bugs. However, here’s a piece of news that may surprise you, that is, Helldivers 2 actually released two patches within 24 hours last week!

Honestly, releasing patches too frequently may make you think that the developers of this game are not serious and cause frequent bugs, but in fact, unexpected situations always happen. Based on this, we will tell you why Helldivers 2 has this situation.

Patch 01.002.105

This patch was released on February 18th, but the main purpose of this patch is not to fix bugs. Its main content is the new playable content, which requires you to defend Umlaut Sector planet Fenrir III from the invasion of Terminids - a kind of terrible insect-like creatures.

Patch 01.002.106

After the new activity was released with 01.002.105, some developers discovered that if you killed too many Helldivers 2 Terminids in a short period, it would cause the game to crash. They called this situation Spore Burst Gloom Bugs, and patch 01.002.106 was born to solve this bug. In addition, Terminids were disabled in the game until the patch was released.

Does Patch 01.002.106 Make The New Activity Better?

Although the 01.002.106 update released on February 19th solved key problems with the new enemies Terminids, you will find that it did not make Gloom content in the new activity better. Many players said that the new operation was too difficult, and it was frustrating to fight multiple mutated Terminid enemies at the same time.

Based on this situation, you can reasonably speculate that before the end of the event, Helldivers 2 may launch more patches to make the event more playable and avoid being criticized by players. Although I don’t want to blame the developers, it is really ridiculous that an event has bugs and is criticized by players at the beginning of its launch.

In fact, the 01.002.106 patch is the fifth update for Helldivers 2 on PC since February 2025. Most of the other updates released by the game before this are related to display optimization. For example, PS5 Pro optimizes the game resolution in performance mode from 1080p to 1440p, and the console’s quality mode has also been improved, but these are just icing on the cake. If Helldivers 2 wants to get better in 2025, it should focus on optimizing the gameplay and ensuring the core quality of the game.

The day before Monster Hunter Wilds was released, the developers made it clear that they would update most of the free games, and the most popular thing for players was the appearance of a powerful monster. Aside from the return of Mizutsune, we don't know what new content will appear in the future.

Update Content Has Led To Endless Speculation

Although there is no official announcement of the official release date, the announcement of this two months in advance has whetted the appetite of players. Countless players tried to find clues about the update content by carefully watching the trailer. But unfortunately, apart from the official updates and missions, nothing else can be found.

So, where will the developers update? Is it an unknown map, more advanced equipment, or a new monster with superb skills?

Has The Return Of Mizutsune Been Announced?

As early as February 22, Capcom stated that it would update the free game. Although it was not clear what new elements would be added, the developer clarified many groundless speculations long before the press conference. Perhaps this hints at the return of Mizutsune?

As the most popular monster among players, Mizutsune caused a lot of complaints from players when it was absent from the previous games. Although it returned later, players are more looking forward to this return. I hope the developer can make new changes to Mizutsune according to the game tone and the player's perspective.

Will The New Monster Increase The Difficulty Of The Game?

Although this game has a large fan base, many old players who have played the game said that this game is too simple. Once you invest in the game for a long time, you will gradually lose the fun. No one wants to invest a lot of time in a boring and simple game.

Perhaps the developer heard the voice of the players and wanted to bring more freshness to hardcore players. Capcom said that this update will bring players a new monster of a higher level. This new monster is even more challenging and lethal than Tempered, and players need to be prepared to spend a lot of time conquering it.

Even though we don't know the final appearance of Tempered, many players have speculated that it might be a monster similar to Archtempered. After all, MH Wilds is very similar to the gameplay of World playbook, so maybe it borrowed the attributes of this monster? Moreover, the new monster is not only more powerful, but can also drop decorations for players and increase the player's level.

In addition, through Title Update 1, we found that the above mentioned are only the minimum standards for the upcoming update, and there may even be other content and monsters that we have never imagined. Perhaps, with the appearance of more hardcore monsters, exciting game tasks will really follow one after another, and players can look forward to it!

Player Gathering Center?

Of course, in addition to making changes in monsters, the developers have also made a new move, that is, adding a brand new multiplayer gathering hub. It provides players with a place to communicate and eat, cleverly solving the lack of social functions in the previous game. Of course, you need to make an effort to use it. Players can only successfully unlock it after successfully completing the main task of Monster Hunter Wilds for at least ten hours.

In addition to the official unveiling from the developer in April, they will also release another free DLC this summer, during which players will be able to trade for some paid cosmetic packages.

World of WarCraft series can be said to be one of the most classic game series so far. In addition to the original game, it has launched several sequels, expansions, and different servers belonging to WOW Classic.

As the tenth expansion of the series, WOW The War Within will officially meet you on August 26, 2024. In this game, you can still experience multiple races as a Horde or Alliance player, as well as eight dungeons and a team raid in the endgame.

According to the latest news, The War Within will release the second season on March 4, 2025, aiming to provide you with more new experiences. If you want to adapt to the season faster at that time, you can use patch 11.1, which has been released on February 25. Based on this, we will introduce you to how to use this patch to prepare for Season 2.

Getting Undermine

Season 2 will introduce a new area Undermine with a Goblin Trade Empire to continue the story of Xal’atath, and you need to complete a series of TWW upgrade activities here. Luckily, the release of patch 11.1 will give you access to chapters 1-4 of Xal’atath story, so you can get a week’s worth of insight into Undermine. Chapters 5 and 6 will also be released with Season 2.

Get Ready To Class Changes

Patch 11.1 includes a lot of class changes that will carry over to Season 2, so you can get used to them in this patch. There are actually no new dungeons in the game until Season 2 starts, so you can consider whether you want to play a new class in Season 2 based on the class changes this week.

Finish The Remain Season 1 Works

Although Season 2 is just around the corner, you may not have completed all of Season 1 content, so it’s recommended that you choose to complete the parts that offer great rewards or are beneficial to Season 2, such as the following:

• Collect M+ dungeon portals: Dungeons are always the best place to get WOW The War Within Gold. Considering that there will be a new dungeon rotation after Season 2 starts, it’s best to complete the parts of Season 1 in a timely manner. In fact, these dungeons are not very difficult.
• Complete the remaining raids: Completing raids can help you get related achievements and some nice gear.
• Complete PVP challenges: Although you have the opportunity to reach higher levels in the last week before Season 2, achievements such as HotA or HotH that belong to PVP mode will not be available, and may even be closed before patch 11.1 goes live.

The above is all the role of our current quest patch 11.1 in Season 2 preparations. I hope it will be helpful to you!

As the release date of the full version of POE 2 is getting closer, many players are looking forward to it. However, because the full version has not been released yet, players are more concerned about the relevant content of POE 2 patch 0.2.0.

The Release Date Of 0.2.0 Is Still Unclear

Even though there is news that POE 2 0.2.0 will be released soon, there is no clear date at present, but we can reasonably guess the approximate release date from several aspects.

First, as early as February, Grinding Gear Games admitted that there was only more than a month left before the 0.2.0 update, which greatly attracted the attention of players and whetted their appetite.

Secondly, in order to let players wait for the update in a better state, the developers held three competitions. The winning players can get different prizes and corresponding Path Of Exile 2 Currency, and the last event date is March 16. Therefore, we guess that POE 2 0.2.0 will be released in mid-to-late March.

Adjustments

This time, the developers have focused more changes on the player experience. For example, many elements have been deleted and added based on the community comments of Early Access, and some classes have been debuffed according to the requirements of players. In terms of game content, the developers have also worked hard to develop some interesting story lines and quest lines based on the suggestions of players.

Upcoming Items

The most anticipated thing in this update is whether new items will be launched. The answer is obvious. In the official video, we found unfamiliar items-Bringer of Rain helmet and Hammer of Faith weapon.

Bringer of Rain helmet is a very cool equipment. Players who own it can use two-handed weapons with one hand, which improves the overall armor level of the player. But correspondingly, players must also bear the disadvantages of this equipment, that is, players must use the helmet naked.

In addition, this helmet has high requirements for players. Only players who reach the end of the game and are above level 52 are eligible to wear it. Coupled with the attributes of the helmet itself, this helmet may only attract players who are interested in super-aggressive players, and has certain player limitations.

Hammer of Faith is different. It is a powerful but slow weapon. Although it grants shrine effect buffs to players every 10 seconds, the buffs are relatively random, and the speed is very slow during the struggle, and it may not attack once a second.

Therefore, there is no perfect weapon. Players need to choose according to the attributes and characteristics of each weapon to ensure that they can play the greatest role in the arena.

New Gladiator Class?

Since this update will launch new equipment, will the developers launch new classes? We don’t know this, but GGG once said that since most of the functions of Druid and Huntress classes are already relatively complete, the Gladiator class is more likely to be launched with other classes.

Players have high expectations for this update, and many players believe that POE 2 will get better and better, so the developers must live up to the expectations of players and bring players a more substantial and realistic game feel.

Currently Genshin Impact has become one of the best action role-playing games in the minds of players because of its unique game mode, game style and varied activities. According to recent leaks, this game, which has been released for more than 4 years, may add a new game mode in the future - Auto Chess Mode.

Auto Chess Mode became popular in the late 2010s. It was originally derived from the mods of the popular MOBA Dota 2, and later gradually evolved into a complete game mode. At present, many game developers are using this mode to realize their own innovations and updates, such as StarCraft and League of Legends, among which Teamfight Tactics created by the latter has become one of the best variants in this mode.

In the current trend of the gaming environment, this Genshin Impact is also preparing to allow this new game mode to enter. If you are interested in it, why not follow this guide to summarize the specific performance of this new game mode in this Genshin Impact from various channels?

According to the leaked information, this Auto Chess mode of Genshin Impact will have both PVP and PVE modes, and will mix exploration and combat gameplay. In fact, this is no different from the underlying logic of Teamfight Tactics created by Riot Games, except for the character skills and screen landscape used by players.

But fortunately, HoYoverse understands that if it wants to differentiate itself from games in the same mode, it needs to have its own characteristics, so it adds a new way for players to enhance their characters by obtaining equipment and Artifacts, which is a feature that many games with Auto Chess mode do not have.

After all, this Genshin Impact is a game based on a Gacha mechanism. Even in the new Auto Chess mode, this mechanism will always exist. It will appear in the game as players needing to use in-game currency to improve the talents of the characters they use. Although you can exchange currency in the game by selling equipment you don’t need, it can’t fill what you need, so you may continue to invest more real money in this mechanism.

The leaker did not indicate when Genshin Impact will announce the official entry of Auto Chess mode into the game, nor did he specify whether the addition of this mode is exclusive to some specific events or a permanent game mode, but one thing is certain, this mode is likely to be released after Version 5.6.

Because in Genshin Impact Version 5.5, two new characters will be introduced to the game roster: Varesa (five-star character) and Iansan (four-star unit), and Great Volcano of Tollan will be the sixth playable area in the entire game to facilitate the subsequent exit of the next expansion of Natlan map. These new contents are enough to give players a lot of fresh game experience in Version 5.5 and the subsequent Version 5.6, so this new mode is likely to be released after these new contents are settled and on track, so please stay tuned!

If you are a die-hard MMORPG player and you are older, you will have heard of Tibia, one of the oldest PC MMOs in the gaming world today. What is incredible is that nearly three decades after its initial launch, the game has added a new character class.

In case some younger MMO players are not familiar with Tibia, here is a brief introduction to it. Tibia was released in early 1997 and was defined as an isometric online RPG at the time. Originally developed by a group of German students in their spare time, Tibia has become more popular and its overall quality and player base have greatly improved.

Even though it was launched earlier, it has continued to update and improve itself over the past quarter century, and this year it has also made a new change, that is, adding a new playable class - Monk. But in the current gaming world and gaming environment, is this big change for this long-standing MMO right or wrong?

According to the developer, Tibia is expected to complete all the work of the Monk class (called vocation in the game) entering the game in 2025, and fill the shortcomings of the entire game that does not focus on both melee and healing. Its appearance may be a great opportunity for players to rekindle their passion for exploring Tibia, and it is also an opportunity for players to understand the complexity of the new class, try new strategies and adapt to the new team composition.

But in fact, in 2025, when MMOs are blooming everywhere, it may not be a wise decision for Tibia, which has been released for more than 20 years, to make such a big change at this time.

First of all, the players who are active in the current game have long been accustomed to the previous Tibia gameplay, and after the addition of the new class, they may need to spend more time and energy to readjust and modify their gameplay and strategies. But unfortunately, most of these loyal players are between 30 and 40 years old, have their own lives and work to deal with, and do not have much time to study Tibia. This will lead to the loss of many player groups and bring very large risks.

In addition, there are already many excellent games waiting for players to explore in the world of MMORPGs today, such as Diablo 4, POE 2, FFXIV, and Elden Ring. Most importantly, Monk Class also exists in the first two games. So except for those YouTube bloggers who try to experience the different gameplay of Monk in multiple games for comparison, regular players don’t need to try this game from the last century for this new Class.

Of course, many MMOs will also launch some new changes in 2025, such as new seasons, new leagues, and new expansions. Facing the impact of these games, Tibia may not be able to resist. After all, the defects of its own image quality and gameplay cannot be directly changed by the addition of a new Class. Even, it is very likely that Tibia will face the risk of decline in this year's game wave.

In general, we always look forward to some new changes in long-standing games such as Tibia, but for the change of adding a new Class, it may be a risky behavior. I wish you a happy game!
