Recently, the content leaks of Genshin Impact 5.7 have emerged one after another, especially the information about the two new characters Skirk and Dahlia, which has caused heated discussions in the player community. Although the current game is still in Version 5.5, concerns about the new characters are continuing to ferment.
According to the current leaked information, Skirk, as an important NPC in main Fontaine line, has been highly anticipated by players since his appearance. Although Skirk's specific values have not yet been exposed, we can also guess that the mechanism of this five-star character may be overly dependent on Cryo meta. Then her flaws are also easily exposed - when the environment changes, her strength will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the leak of the four-star Hydro character Dahlia is equally disturbing. This new character, who may come from Mondstadt, will focus on Attack Speed buffer. It is worth noting that this is not the only four-star support with attack speed buff as the core in Genshin Impact in the past two years. Because of this, this repetitive design immediately raised questions about the usefulness of the character, after all, the strategic value of attack speed stats in the current version is still controversial.
Mika's DilemmaPreviously, Mika's launch as a 4-star Cryo character had suffered a major failure. Many players considered this a disaster, as he was undoubtedly one of the worst supports.
This Knights of Favonius front-line surveyor is very young. He is mainly attack speed buff and Physical DMG buffs, and can also bring a certain degree of healing to teammates. But unfortunately, no matter from which aspect, his bonus ability is not ideal, or even equivalent to no effect. In addition, attack speed is usually not an important stat in Genshin Impact, which made Mika quickly abandoned by players and chose other characters as a replacement.
It is worth noting that Dahlia's current leaked information has many similarities with Mika. They are both 4-star supports and can also serve as an Attack Speed buffer. They are even likely to come from Mondstadt! This really makes people worry that Dahlia will repeat Mika's mistakes.
What's more worrying is that the current version already has a more practical character like Yun Jin. If Dahlia cannot provide a breakthrough mechanism, then his existence value will be questioned by many players. After all, for most players, it is better to prioritize the cultivation of the existing team rather than consuming $1 to extract a new character that is not easy to use.
Attack SpeedTo understand the players' concerns, we first need to understand the awkward position of attack speed in the combat system of Genshin Impact. Unlike basic stats such as HP, ATK, and DEF, attack speed is only slightly effective for some characters who rely on Normal Attacks as their main damage output, but it is also very limited.
Even for characters such as Ayato, Ayaka, Itto, and even Yoimiya, higher attack speed allows these characters to attack more frequently and increase their overall damage output to the enemy, but in fact their output limit does not depend on the attack frequency. This feature makes Attack Speed buffer often give people a sense of dispensability.
Judging from the existing information, if Dahlia wants to avoid repeating Mika's mistakes, he still needs to focus on solving his practicality problem first. How can he have his own outstanding advantages compared with other similar characters? We can only hope that the developer will do it.
However, these are our own speculations, after all, these leaks may be wrong. The information we know about Dahlia is not complete enough, and it is not rational to make arbitrary conclusions based on the current information.
What's more, these concerns also reflect the players' anxiety about the lack of innovation in character design. Since the release of Genshin Impact, the developer has launched nearly 100 controllable characters one after another, and it is difficult to avoid the homogenization of character positioning. But if it is not solved, then for players, this will greatly affect the diversity of the game build, thereby reducing the fun of the game.
All in all, the information we currently have about Version 5.7 is not sufficient, and more key information will be revealed later. We hope that the developer can avoid repeated mistakes and keep pushing Genshin Impact forward!

While Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are constantly refreshing players' views on open world games, HoYoverse's highly anticipated Zenless Zone Zero is about to usher in a major update, including new areas, new characters and new factions. This news makes all proxies feel excited.
New Areas Waifei PeninsulaThis place, famous for mining and refining Porcelume, is located in Throne Quarter, on the outskirts of Lemnian Hollow, and is full of dangers. The story of ZZZ version 2.0 will begin here.
Waifei Peninsula was originally used as a monitoring zone to monitor Lemnian Hollow, the original hollows in the game. And its name Waifei Peninsula comes from Cantonese characters.
The earliest residents who settled here were responsible for guarding this extremely dangerous valley. And over time, an outpost was established in Waifei Peninsula area. Eventually it became Failume Heights.
Failume HeightsThe city sits on a cliff, with a stunning view of the port and the area. The area is rich in Porcelume, a precious material that resists Ether Corruption. It is a vital material in mining. It is also the economic pillar of the area, but there are many secrets hidden behind it.
Perhaps many clues that have not been answered before will be connected here, such as Sarah's true plans, the conspiracy of Exaltists, etc. But I think the most important thing is the biggest mystery that the two proxies have always wanted to know - the truth about the fall of the old capital and the secrets that Phaethon siblings have been keeping. In short, I am sure that players will get a great new adventure here.
Lemnian HollowAs an original Hollows hiding an ancient civilization, although Lemnian Hollow has only been mentioned once before, it has always been the most active hollow, often causing trouble for nearby residents.
Now, players can look forward to exploring here in 2.0. Oh, and there's also a bigger and more complete Aerospace City ruin waiting for you.
New CharacterAs a key figure in Season 2, Yixuan is the current leader of Yunkui Summit. Her striking yellow cape easily leaves a deep impression. She will appear with new members from Defense Force's Obol Squad and the previously revealed idol group Angels of Delusion.
In 2.0, players can become a new disciple of Yunkui Summit and learn Yixuan's craft. Although it is not yet known what this is, with Yixuan as a mentor, it will be exciting to learn anything! Perhaps from now on, players will have to consciously accumulate $1.
New FactionsThere will be many major factions in Season 2. Some of them have appeared and returned again, and some are making their debut. They are Angels of Delusion and Obol Squad from Defense Force.
In addition, a new teaser trail will be released on April 13, through which players can learn more about what they want to know.
Other ImprovementsIn addition to the above new content, Version 2.0 also brings some gameplay improvements to everyone, which can effectively enhance the player's gaming experience.
Map EnhancementsThe map experience of Zenless Zone Zero has been greatly improved, integrating residential and combat areas together, bringing players a smoother and more realistic experience. From now on, there will be no more annoying long scene switching, which will make the game more convenient.
Especially Failume Heights, its scale has been expanded, and many new features have been added. All of this makes it more like a complete city. The larger scope also gives it unlimited expansion space in the future.
What is more concerning is that Failume Heights may have a new daily system to be released, and there may also be a mini-game about Suibian Temple. I hope the official will give more instructions about this mini-game in the future.
Travel System & UI ChangesMeanwhile, Zenless Zone Zero Season 2 also brings a new Travel System & UI.
Travel System: Version 2.0 not only brings a larger map format but also adds very convenient features such as mini-map and navigation tools. In addition, you can now travel directly between Failume Heights and Hollow without going to the video store! This really helps a lot, doesn't it? UI: New UI combines all content and everything together, so that Proxies can now enjoy faster destination selection speed and clearer New Eridu's geography.In addition to the above, the game has also made improvements in plot and combat methods, but the information we know is not enough at present. We will continue to pay attention to official information in the future. I hope to get more new surprises.
By the way, there is another very important news - the developer is exploring ways to release it to different platforms. It is said that Zenless Zone Zero will land on Xbox in the future! This means Xbox owners will also have the opportunity to experience ZZZ's exciting combat, breathtaking visuals, and a whole new chapter in Proxy's adventure.
As 2nd anniversary of Honkai Star Rail approaches, players' attention is subtly switching between 3.2 Amphoreus campaign update and the preview information of 3.3. After seeing the gameplay kit of Hyacine leaked in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, I was very curious - can this upcoming 5-star Wind Healer really change the current healing pattern of Luocha, Lingsha, and Huohuo?
The leak details Hyacine' s active abilities, her passive traces, her eidolons, etc. If the leaked information is accurate and has not changed after the release of Version 3.3, players can prepare for all these equipment in advance and pre-acquire them.
Version 3.3 LeaksAs an important NPC in Amphoreus plot line, Hyacine has aroused speculation since her debut due to her unique memosprite mechanism. Now HoYoverse has officially confirmed through official dynamics that this Remembrance Character will be launched as a playable character in May, and the equally popular Cipher will also be launched at the same time.
According to the current leaked information, we can clearly know the fact that players will consume numerous $1 in version 3.3, which may trigger a new round of resource hoarding craze.
Although version 3.2 has occupied the center of the topic with Castorice, Anaxa and Amphoreus campaign updates, with this leak of news, many players have set their sights on the more strategically profound version 3.3. According to the latest capture records of Honey Hunter World database, Hyacine's skill set presents an amazing composite healing characteristic, and its mechanism design around the dual core of Max HP & SPD may bring revolutionary changes to tactical system of Honkai Star Rail.
Hyacine Complete KitAccording to leaked information, Hyacine's Complete Kit contains three disruptive mechanisms:
Dynamic HP conversion system: Normal attacks directly link the percentage of maximum HP to maintain the output threat while stacking survival attributes. Memosprite Ica: This permanent summons inherits 50% of Hyacine's maximum HP. It can not only achieve full automatic endurance through out-of-turn healing, but also has a unique gain stacking mechanism. Petrichoric Clear Skies state: Three-turn Petrichoric Clear Skies state triggered by using Ultimate, at which time Hyacine will heal all team characters. The amount of healing is a certain percentage of her own maximum HP plus a fixed value.When Hyacine is in Petrichoric Clear Skies state, Ica will take action immediately after Hyacine uses a skill. When Ica triggers Talent's healing effect, it will restore additional HP to friendly targets. This powerful healing power can make the team worry-free, which makes Hyacine a good choice for players to build a team.
It is particularly worth noting that Ica is a non-turn-based action - this memosprite that does not appear on the action bar can trigger healing after any friendly unit acts. This kind of detachment from the traditional restriction mechanism completely breaks the tactical framework of the existing healing role. When paired with new Relic set Warrior Goddess of Daythunder, Ica's Gentle Rain effect triggered each round can provide an additional 15% team crit damage. Hyacine's design that deeply binds survival and output gain makes Hyacine's strategic value far beyond traditional healers.
Ideal BuildThe exclusive Relic Daybreak Thunder Valkyrie mentioned in the leaked intelligence is clearly designed to target Hyacine's mechanical pain points:
2-piece: It can increase the player's SPD by 60%, which also directly relieves the pressure of Hyacine build. 4-piece: When the treatment is triggered, it gains Gentle Rain state, providing an additional 6% SPD and 15% team critical damage.This set of Relics perfectly meets Hyacine's need for SPD and also forms a perfect closed loop with her own abilities. This makes it possible for her to become the most powerful healing profession and one of the characters with best sustain in Honkai Star Rail.
In terms of lineup matching, the synergy between Hyacine and Tribbie is particularly prominent - Tribbie can increase its own maximum HP according to the total maximum HP of its allies, so HP limit increase provided by Hyacine can be converted into double benefits, and this mechanism linkage may give birth to new tactics.
However, its strict build requirements may also become a problem - in order to exert the full strength, players need to obtain Relic and Ornament pieces with SPD as the sub-stat to meet her needs for SPD. This may require players to consume a lot of game resources to achieve. This high investment and high return feature may make Hyacine a good helper for krypton gold players. Civilian players may need to wait a little for the subsequent mechanism.
In any case, for players who lack a talented healer, Hyacine will be the best choice, and we look forward to her arrival bringing us more surprises!
As a classic shooting series game born in 2003, Call of Duty has a high popularity among the player community, but in recent years, except for Advanced Warfare launched in 2014, the game series has been in a tepid state for most of the time.
However, Black Ops 6 broke this status quo. Since its official release in October this year, BO6 has made waves in the gaming community, especially on Xbox, where it has recently become the most popular game. This is also the first time that Call of Duty game has gained such high popularity on Xbox platform.
Because if you also experience CoD Black Ops 6, you will find that it has fascinating gameplay, amazing graphics and innovative features. Not only can you get a rich combat experience in various immersive single-player campaigns and extensive multiplayer modes, you can also get cool skins to decorate your game character through $1.
Additionally, the introduction of new mechanics and maps can make your BO6 experience fresh, so long-time fans and newcomers are drawn to participate. Base on these, we will explore the deeper reasons why Black Ops 6 is such a sensation around Xbox.
The Evolution Of CoD Series’s Connection With XboxSince its inception, CoD series has always relied on different gaming platforms. The original Call of Duty launched as a PC exclusive in 2003 and quickly attracted a loyal group of fans with its immersive World War II gameplay and fascinating narrative.
However, when Call of Duty 2 was launched in 2005, it became a Xbox 360 exclusive, which marked a key moment for the series. This not only demonstrated the capabilities of the console but also solidified the partnership between Xbox platform and game makers.
There is no doubt that the release of CoD 2 helped Xbox become a major player in the first-person shooter field. As CoD continued to grow, the game began to adopt a multi-platform strategy, being playable on Xbox and PlayStation and PC. Despite the game’s wider availability, the connection between Call of Duty and Xbox remains strong.
Although CoD began to focus on PlayStation as a primary release platform in 2015 with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, this year’s BO6 became a changer. This is the first time since the release of Advanced Warfare in 2014 that a Call of Duty game on Xbox has more player engagement than on PlayStation.
Why Does Black Ops 6 Perform Best On Xbox?Based on observations of the gaming community and player behavior, this shift from PlayStation to Xbox can be attributed to the following three factors.
1. The Adaptability Of Game Content To The PlatformThe most attractive thing about BO6 is that it does not contain any platform-exclusive content. Therefore, you may wonder why Xbox players like this game more than PlayStation players?
In fact, maybe the lack of exclusive content actually levels the playing field, making the core gaming experience the centerpiece, rather than the benefits of platform exclusivity. For these reasons, you’ll ultimately find Xbox players reacting most positively to the overall design of the game, the competitive elements, or the enhancements to Xbox version itself.
2. Feedback From The Gaming CommunityThe growing Xbox Game Pass community, where you can access many games every month, has clearly helped to increase engagement with CoD Black Ops 6 on Xbox. Based on the choices made by players, it’s clear that CoD series will continue to be a major player in the industry, represented by BO6, thanks to its innovative gameplay and passionate community.
With Xbox returning to being the leading platform for the series after nearly a decade, the future of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be exciting and likely to have an impact on the series and the broader gaming market. This change not only reflects the changing preferences of gamers but also highlights the importance of platforms providing quality gaming experiences that resonate with players.
3. Changes In The Gaming Industry LandscapeAs the gaming industry continues to develop, players are becoming more and more discerning. If you are also a veteran gamer, I believe you now tend to prioritize gaming experience over brand loyalty. In fact, it is the rise of cross-platform games and shared gaming environments that has contributed to this shift.
You will find that it is easier than ever to connect with friends who play the game on different platforms when playing a gigantic game now. Obviously, BO6 is also the same on Xbox. Since playing Black Ops 6 on Xbox not only has a good gaming experience but also does not worry about not being able to team up with friends, it will certainly become your first choice.
This change in the gaming landscape may herald the resurgence of CoD series on various platforms, and may also lead to a more balanced competition between Xbox and PlayStation in the future.
Black Ops 6 Is Currently The Most Popular Game On XboxBO6 has been available on Xbox Game Pass since the first day of its release. Obviously, this strategic move has played a key role in attracting more Xbox players. So if you were originally hesitant about whether to experience Black Ops 6 on Xbox, this move undoubtedly solves your concerns.
Currently, many fans who had previously forgotten CoD series have returned and started to experience Black Ops 6 because of Xbox Game Pass related measures, contributing to the impressive number of players on Xbox. Their influx not only enhances the vitality of the game community, but also enhances the multiplayer experience.
Now on Xbox, you will find that CoD Black Ops 6 is rated much higher than several other recent works. Its fascinating gameplay, well-made maps and innovative mechanisms all echo the glory days of Call of Duty series in the past, making it rejuvenated again.

EA Sports FC 25 introduces a host of fresh changes, including the Champions mode within Ultimate Team. This mode offers players a whole new gaming experience by participating in Champions Play-Offs all the way to Champions Finals. Since these leagues feature many top players and strong teams, mastering some tips and strategies is essential for players who want to stand out from the competition.
How To Qualify For Champions Play-Offs & Finals?First, you need to understand the specific requirements for qualifying for Champions Play-Offs. In order to successfully advance to the Champions Play-Offs, players must accumulate at least 1,000 Champions Qualification Points. Once you enter Play-Offs, your goal is to reach Champions Finals.
In Champions Play-Offs, each win will bring you 4 points. Even if you lose, you will receive 1 point as compensation. To qualify for Champions Finals, you must win at least three games.
Once you successfully enter Champions Finals, there will be 15 games waiting for you to participate. Here, each win will add 1 point to your roster, while a loss will not give you any points. Therefore, I strongly recommend building a team with an overall rating of 85 or above, even if it costs a lot of $1, to ensure an excellent performance.
How To Build A Squad For Champions?It is a wise strategy to choose fast players as wingers. For example, Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka’s speed and dribbling stats can help you effectively carry the ball into the opponent’s half.
When your main striker (ST) is set to the false nine role, it means that he not only needs to play a role in the offensive end, but also actively participate in defense. In order to maximize the offensive potential, you can try to assign Shadow Striker role to your attacking midfielder (CAM).
In FIFA 25, choosing the right players and developing tactics based on their characteristics is the key to victory. If you can choose fast defenders such as Van De Ven, Eder Militao, and Ledley King, then you can try to use a high defensive line tactic. This setting allows your left and right backs to act as wingbacks and participate in both defense and offense.
By raising the defensive line, you can better control the tempo of the game and quickly counterattack when the opponent attacks. However, in this tactic, the role of the goalkeeper becomes particularly important.
In order to deal with breakthrough situations, you need to set the goalkeeper’s player role to a Sweeper Keeper. When the opponent’s forward manages to break through your defenders, the goalkeeper can rush out to clean up the ball and prevent the opponent from scoring.
To edit your defensive method, you can press L3 key and then navigate to Team Management. Although it may take some time to adapt to the new lineup and formation, once you master it, it will be difficult for the opponent to break through your defense.
Here is our list of recommended players for Champions:
Jack Grealish: Wide Playmaker; Left Winger Gareth Bale: Poacher; Striker Bukayo Saka: Inside Forward; Right Winger Cole Palmer: Shadow Striker; Central Attacking Midfielder Jude Bellingham: Box-to-Box; Central Midfielder Rodigo Cascante: Box-to-Box; Central Midfielder Josko Gvardiol: Falseback; Left Back Eder Militao: Stopper; Center Back Ledley King: Defender; Center Back Jules Kounde: Wingback; Right Back Allison: Sweeper Keeper; GoalkeeperRelated: $1
Champions RewardsIn football, winning various rewards is of great significance to the team. These rewards can not only significantly improve the team’s rating, but also add valuable players to help you win more games.
Since these rewards are entirely dependent on your performance, try to accumulate 12 points when participating in the weekend league to qualify for Finals, where the rewards are even more attractive.

After the launch of the new expansion Dawntrail in July, FFXIV has clearly made a new wave of MMO game enthusiasm. Although the popularity of FFXIV Dawntrail has declined because of the launch of new seasons or new DLCs in many games on the market later, the recent updates have undoubtedly given it new vitality.
In the latest 7.1 Crossroads update, besides some relatively fragmented gameplay updates, the most eye-catching new content added by Final Fantasy 14 for Dawntrail is the new raid activities.
These raid activities are usually large in content and complex in mechanism. Players need to team up and fight as multiplayer teams to complete them. It is precisely because these activities are difficult that the rewards they offer are very generous. Even if you don’t contribute much to the team, you can still get a considerable amount of $1.
In the alliance raid, Echoes of Vana’diel added after this update, if players want to play it in a team, they need to meet fixed conditions to unlock them before they can start playing. So this time we will introduce the specific method of playing this raid.
How To Unlock Jeuno: The First Walk?Jeuno: The First Walk is actually the first part of Dawntrail Echoes of Vana’diel Alliance raid, which was added to the game after this update. It is said that the second and third parts will be added in the new update.
In Jeuno: The First Walk, the participating players will be divided into three groups of eight people each. However, before entering Echoes of Vana’diel, players must complete some tasks to unlock this first part of it in order to fully experience the entire event.
First, you need to reach level 100 in any war or magician class and complete Dawntrail MSQ, and your item level needs to reach 695. After meeting these conditions, you have a ticket to enter the new raid, but before that, you still need to go to Tuliyollal.
Once you reach Aetheryte of Tuliyollal, you’ll find a Hoobigo Messenger near the coordinates (13, 11.5) giving you a quest called An Otherworldly Encounter. Hoobigo Messenger will then ask you to go to Mamook and talk to Miilal Ja, so that’s your next destination.
Miilal Ja is located west of Mamook Aetheryte, and once you find her, she’ll tell you that she and her companions have found a strange Elezen who keeps blabbering about something they don’t understand, so Miilal Ja wants you to help them figure out what Elezen is talking about.
Elezen doesn’t remember his name, or how he was found by Mamook. But rather than trying to understand him, you should first find Bakool Ja Ja and talk to him. After that, you only have to go through a few more cutscenes and dialogues before you’ll be notified that Jeuno: The First Walk is available. That’s actually the name of the first part of Echoes of Vana’diel.
After completing Jeuno: The First Walk raid, you will continue to advance the story of Echoes of Vana’diel and unlock all the rewards you can get.
What Does Echoes Of Vana’diel Raid Bring To Players?Prior to the release of Patch 7.2, loot in Jeuno: The First Walk raid was limited. You could only pick up one piece of equipment in the event each week, and it reset time coincided with the weekly reset time.
Currently, all loot available in this raid includes items such as armor sets and the tattered sheet music. The armor set is also known as Ark Angel armor.
If you get the tattered sheet music from the treasure chest and the dice roll is lucky, you can trade it with specific Goblin NPCs in Lower Jeuno to exchange it for Echoes of Vana’diel orchestrion rolls, a Nano Lord minion, and a Nano Lord Triple Triad card. It is worth noting that there is no limit to the drop of the tattered sheet music.
Additionally, when you complete Aglaia once a week in Echoes of Vana’diel, you’ll also receive Ordelle Coins. You can exchange them for Surgelight Twine and Surgelight Glaze to augment your Quetzalli tomestone gear. Just find Uah’shepya in Solution Nine and trade with her with Ordelle Coins. Or you can trade the rope and glaze you get to Hhihwi. He’s also an NPC vendor.
In the future, if FF14 continues to follow the previous expansion plan, we expect Echoes of Vana’diel Alliance raid series to have two more raids. One may be launched with patch 7.3 and the other may be launched with patch 7.5. But no matter when the latter raid activities are launched, you should try to complete the first part, Jeuno: The First Walk. This will not only help you accumulate game materials but also prepare for the new activities.
If you have figured out how to play Jeuno: The First Walk in Echoes of Vana’diel series through our introduction, then log in and start your new adventure! Have fun!
Diablo 4 has become the first Microsoft game confirmed to support Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro “Pro Enhanced Features”, marking an important collaboration between the two major gaming platforms.
Although PlayStation 5 Pro has been controversial since its release because of its high price of $700, many users who have already obtained it have experienced significant performance improvements and believe that the investment is worth it.
With the news that Diablo 4 has been enhanced on PlayStation 5 Pro, more players have begun to show great interest in this mid-range console. Although Sony fans are not completely satisfied with the launch of PlayStation 5 Pro, it does not mean that fans will not appreciate the enhanced graphics provided by Diablo 4 in Sanctuary.
Diablo senior Vice President and General Manager Rod Fergusson posted a post on the social media platform, which attracted widespread attention. Fergusson said in the post: “I have been asked this question frequently recently, and I am happy to say that Diablo 4 and Vessel of Hatred will indeed get PS5 Pro Enhanced!” This news undoubtedly made many players excited.
And according to his post, more details will be revealed later, but many fans are eager to know the exact release date. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the console’s enhanced features when playing Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 Is Coming To PS5 ProWhile “Pro Enhanced Features” have not been officially implemented in the game as of now, they are expected to be added to the game through an upcoming patch update. The official PSN store page has announced that the game will support “Pro Enhanced”, however, there are reports that in some cases, when players enable this setting, performance has actually decreased.
When players visit Diablo 4 page on the official PlayStation Store, you will see that the game description claims to support “PS5 Pro Enhanced”.
However, most players who recently obtained a PlayStation 5 Pro and tried the enhanced mode reported that when they enabled the so-called “Enhanced Pro” setting, not only did they not experience the expected performance increase, but they also found that the frame rate dropped to around 30fps.
This situation is in stark contrast to the official propaganda, leading many players to suspect that the developer may not have completed the work on “PS5 Pro Enhanced”, but used this part as a placeholder, planning to actually implement it as an update patch in the future.
Despite some controversy, many players have pointed out that the performance and graphics performance of Diablo 4 have indeed improved when running it in normal mode. These players reported that in normal mode, the game’s frame rate can be stabilized at around 60fps, and the quality of details and textures in the game has also been significantly improved, making completing challenges and accumulating $1 much more enjoyable.
The development team previously promised that the game will introduce a series of advanced image processing technologies on the PS5 Pro, including “dynamic reflection and refraction” and AI-powered image upscaler to further enhance the visual effects. In addition, some players are dissatisfied with Xbox platform being ignored, and they also hope to see optimized versions of these games on Xbox Series X.

Sony Fans Are Not Favoring PlayStation 5 ProWith several existing games like Hogwarts Legacy and Last of Us Part 2 being enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro, players are excited about the addition of new content. However, despite the enhanced features that bring more gaming experience, the high price still makes fans unhappy. Considering that the cost of PlayStation 5 Pro may be as high as $700, this dissatisfaction is not surprising.
Here, the development team announced that PS5 Pro enhancements will be launched for Diablo 4. Although it is not clear what specific improvements this enhancement will bring, considering the reputation of Diablo 4 development team in game development, many players may be inclined to get it.
Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred was officially launched on October 8. However, players are not sure whether this marks the beginning of Microsoft’s games gradually being supported by Sony’s high-end game console. But for me personally, I am very much looking forward to seeing more games enhanced for PS5 Pro.
I like to play games with friends who have upgraded or plan to upgrade, so I think this will be an excellent opportunity to experience a higher quality gaming experience.
However, only time will tell whether more existing games will come to PlayStation 5 Pro. Although the high price is a factor to consider, whether it is worth getting it ultimately depends on players’ preferences for games and their needs for PS5 Pro.
As more details about “Pro Enhanced Features” are gradually released, players will better evaluate whether this enhancement is worth your time and money. Regardless of the final result, this collaboration between Microsoft and Sony marks a major step forward for the gaming industry. For those of us who love games, this is an exciting time, full of endless possibilities and opportunities to explore.
In various non-realistic theme MMO games full of fantasy elements, you will find that besides humans of different races, there will be many strange creatures. Some of them may have developed to the same level as humans, and some may appear as “monsters” in some encounters.
So as a player, have you ever noticed the various strange creatures in this game when playing New World Aeternum? After defeating them, do you choose to take the dropped $1 and leave immediately, or will you observe its corpse more?
If you are a more curious player, or you have always paid attention to the art level of a game, you will find that the appearance design of the creatures in New World Aeternum is not randomly pieced together, but carefully designed. In fact, only in this way can the player’s combat experience be more immersive.
So, how are these creatures designed? Next, let us introduce them to you based on some interviews with the game art team.
Where Does The Design Inspiration Of The Creatures Come From?Regarding this aspect, Sojin Hwang, deputy art director of New World Aeternum art team, said that in games with fantasy worlds as the main body, the design of some non-realistic creatures will actually be influenced by a mixture of mythical and real animals, and designers will actively draw inspiration from various sources.
Many countries and regions around the world have their own different cultures, and the part about mythical creatures provides a rich source of inspiration for the designers of New World Aeternum art team. On this basis, they incorporate fantasy elements and symbolism into the design, making the final result full of fantasy.
In addition, real animals also play an important role. They provide designers with the accuracy and behavior that should be in designing game creatures from an anatomical perspective, so that the creatures are rooted in reality. By studying the movement, texture and ecological adaptability of real animals, designers have designed various species in the game, making them more credible and attractive to players.
Sojin Hwang said that the team hopes to develop designs that are both imaginative and friendly by combining these elements, enriching the game world with diverse and fascinating life. This mix makes the creatures created not only visually striking but also closely connected to the theme of New World Aeternum.
How To Reflect The Design Of Creatures Through Game Lore?As an important background story component of New World Aeternum, game lore provides designers with the game background, history, roles in the narrative, and environmental background that affect visual and functional aspects when designing game creatures. When a game creature’s appearance and related stories reflect the lore related to the game theme, it will be better integrated into the game world.
In addition, lore may also affect the role of the creature in the game world. Its characteristics and animation style will determine whether it will be designed as a fierce predator or a mysterious guardian. Sometimes, the design of a creature can also develop some new stories because its unique physical characteristics may lead to the emergence of specific lore. For example, by explaining why the creature has certain abilities or behaviors based on its appearance, to enhance its design and narrative significance.
In fact, a well-developed game lore enriches the design process of game creatures, ensuring that each creature is an integral part of New World Aeternum and resonates with players on a deeper level. This close relationship ensures that creatures are not only visually striking but also provide players with a richer, more immersive experience in the game as they navigate the world map.
What Is The Specific Process Of Designing New Creatures?This type of art design usually starts with an overview of the creature, brainstorming through initial sketches and exploring different ideas between different designers. The design team then completes the creature design document (CDD) and holds detailed meetings to refine various aspects of the design and determine the eventual goal.
Concept artists then collect reference images to design a unified look for the game creatures. After determining the general direction of the appearance, the design team members will communicate again to solicit feedback. After reaching a consensus on the ultimate design, it is necessary to come together again to finalize the details to ensure that the creature’s appearance, behavior, and other aspects are consistent with the game’s theme.
Designing a new creature is a complex task that requires designers to have strong creativity, collaboration, and attention to every design detail. The design team invests a lot of time and effort to ensure that each creature looks unique and memorable, thereby enhancing the player experience.
What Challenges Arise When Designing New Creatures?A major challenge in this type of design is to ensure that the creatures are designed to fit the environment they live in and avoid some errors. For example, Angry Earth creatures in New World Aeternum live in dense jungles, so their characteristics need to adapt to the surrounding environment.
During the concept design process, in order to minimize the restrictions on the artist’s creativity and avoid affecting their performance, the technical staff in the design team will try their best to solve problems such as file size and performance limitations. However, in fact, there is no need to include too many tiny details. After all, these creatures are not designed as pure works of art, but their main function is to serve the game.
In order to ensure that the game creatures have unique visual features under some technical limitations and want them to have excellent performance in the corresponding game mechanics, it is necessary for the artists and technical teams to iterate and collaborate continuously. Only in this way can we ensure that the final designed creatures are not only visually eye-catching but also can work effectively within the game technology framework.
The above is an introduction to some design ideas and design processes for various creatures in New World Aeternum. If you haven’t seen these creatures yet, you might as well jump into the game and experience how outstanding the designers’ work is.
