Since Path of Exile 2 has solved a series of issues with the new season Dawn of the Hunt, new race events will be launched.

This race event is free and open to players on PC and console platforms, and will also give some rewards to those who actively improve themselves and challenge others. 

The main purpose is to let players enjoy the fun of the game and compete with others to see if they are the best players.

This time is divided into three games, each one week apart, and all players participate in the event at the same time, which means that if players in other time zones want to participate in the event, they need to adjust their time to ensure that they don’t miss it.

The specific times of the three races are as follows:

All players can try it. Players will create characters and register according to the link released by POE 2. After creating the character, they cannot drive the character until the start of the race.

Participants compete to be the first to defeat Doryani in Act 3.. This is a standard Solo Self-Found, so players need to be prepared, and if they die, they will be penalized for one minute, during which you will not be able to move.

And this competition has a ranking mechanism. At that time, Path of Exile 2 will release a ranking link, which will facilitate players to check their respective rankings during the game, or to see who took the shortest time after the game.

Currently, there are seven classes in POE 2, including the newly added Huntress. The highest ranking person in each class will receive Demigod’s Virtue Unique, which means that there will be 7 chances to get this reward in one game.

There will be 3 games in total, so there are 21 chances in total. If you want to have a chance to win the prize, it is best to be careful not to die.

And there is no limit on the number of times a player can participate in the game. That’s mean that players have a chance to get multiple Demigod’s Virtues.

At the same time, the player who completes the race the fastest in each class in the three games will receive any table mat printed with POE 2 game content; and the fastest player among all players in the three games will receive a Divination Card.

With the increase in future competition activities, POE 2 will cycle all Demigod’s items in a loop. In the end, it will be combined into an armor set, including a weapon, so if you are very good, you may be able to collect the entire set of armor.

The competition will be broadcast live on the video platform, and all participants can choose whether to broadcast live by themselves.

At the same time, the items won by players can be traded, which means that even if you don’t win the game, you can use $1 to get prizes.

The main purpose of Path of Exile 2 launching this event may be to keep players enthusiastic about the game, test and optimize new game mechanisms that may be launched in the future, and the launch of new activities can effectively stimulate players’ discussion about the game.

In the recent release of Diablo 4 Season 8, the most discussed point among players, in addition to the changes to the boss, is the changes to Battle Pass.

D4 has been thinking about Battle Pass for a long time. This S8 finally solved the problem of the difficulty in obtaining Battle Pass rewards by introducing new Reliquary System to replace the previous Battle Pass, but new Reliquary System itself also has some problems, which makes players feel dissatisfied.

In April, the game content of both Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch was significantly updated. However, since Diablo 4 decided to postpone the release of the second expansion to 2026, the 2025 roadmap for Diablo 4 looks a bit boring, with only one joint news in the second half of the year.

So combined with the above reasons, this time, Battle Pass was replaced with new Reliquary System, caused a lot of discussion in the player community.

The most obvious difference compared to Battle Pass is that new Reliquary System provides players with more paid options. New Reliquary System no longer provides a single pass that includes free and paid appearances and premium props, but is more finely divided.

There is a free route and three paid routes for players to choose from. Players can choose one or more of the three appearance props according to their needs and use Platinum to obtain prop and also can get some $1.

The price of each appearance prop is different. Take S8 as an example:

Previously, all paid appearance props only required the get of a Battle Pass, and the price of a Battle Pass was 1000 Platinum. Players can still use 1000 Platinum to get three reliquaries. But for players who only want one or two, it may be more cost-effective to get them separately.

It should be noted that once you get a reliquary, you can no longer get all reliquaries on 1000 Platinum. So players need to consider whether they want those reliquaries carefully to ensure that they don’t spend more Platinum.

Although D4 S8 provides players with a wealth of choices, the way to unlock reliquaries has been redesigned, making the process of the entire season more cumbersome. Before S8, you only need to play specific games in the game to earn XP and upgrade Battle Pass.

But, in S8 players must complete the season quests to obtain unique Favor Tokens to obtain the reliquary and obtain the items in it.

In addition, the past season completed the season quests to obtain Favor to increase reputation, and now this system seems to have been integrated into new Reliquary System.

Due to the introduction of the new Reliquary System, players who are used to the old process may feel confused and need some time to adapt to the new process, which is troublesome. Perhaps Diablo 4 will take some measures to solve this problem.

Gillette is one of the brands under P&G dedicated to shaving, body care, and cleaning. The brand announced that it will join forces with EA FC 25 to jointly work to bring players a better experience inside and outside the game.

For more than a hundred years, Gillette, as the world's leading men's care expert and EA Sports FC 25, a leader in sports entertainment with a long history, have both created a high reputation in the global field.

Today, the two brands announced a partnership, which is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for players and consumers who love and follow FC 25 and Gillette.

If players want to get more items, they need to complete the goals and challenges that are regularly updated in the game to obtain $1.

Gillette is no latecomer in the sports field. The recent partnership with UEFA Champions League and the jersey sponsorship for New England Revolution further prove Gillette's position in the sports field. At the same time, these partnerships also lay a solid foundation for Gillette to further expand its influence in the gaming and football fields.

"The cooperation with FC 25 is a very critical and historic decision for Gillette. We cheer and celebrate the continued growth of the Gillette brand in the football field." "As we strengthen our commitment to the sport, we are excited to deepen our roots, connect with the next generation of men, and interact with the global football community in an authentic way."

Gillette's creative spirit is reflected in its sophisticated design, which aims to provide users with a better care experience. This cooperation shows that Gillette's excellence is not only reflected in providing comfortable cleaning and care services to consumers, but also in helping the majority of male players of FIFA 25 when playing games. When players are in the best gaming state, Gillette's role will also be maximized.

Regarding this cooperation, EA Sports FC 25's senior director of franchise marketing operations also said, "I am very happy to work with Gillette, because EA Sports FC 25 is very authoritative in the field of football. For this cooperation, it can add a force to the passion of world football and create more real global community interaction."

EA FC 25 connects tens of thousands of football fans through the Internet and e-sports products, and has a huge audience. Therefore, this cooperation is undoubtedly a very strategic move for Gillette. It will use the loyal fan community of FC 25 to connect with players. Gillette is also taking this action to integrate resources in the sports field and enhance its influence in the sports field, constantly innovating new products and experiences for consumers.

Recently, with everyone’s attention, the joint cooperation between Monopoly GO and Star Wars has been smoothly launched. This linkage will last for two months, mainly about the characters related to Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian in Star Wars. Monopoly GO will also provide Star Wars-related characters, themed emoticons, dice and shields for players to collect.

Since its release in 2023, Monopoly GO has developed rapidly and achieved high profits in a very short time, making it one of the most successful mobile games in history. And its extremely high game update frequency and continuous linkage with other brands has always attracted the attention of players.

At the end of September 2024, the most popular event among players was the collaboration between Monopoly GO and Marvel. The event lasted from September 26 to December 5, and players could unlock content related to Marvel heroes in the game. So this collaboration between Monopoly GO and Star Wars also attracted much attention from players and is regarded as a very “groundbreaking” collaboration. 

The collaboration has been online since May 1, and players can enter the game and unlock Skywalker Saga in Star Wars series and The Mandalorian in Disney+ series. Interestingly, in this collaboration, players can see the game character Peg-E watching “Star Wars” in Mr. Monopoly’s cinema in Monopoly GO. The most unexpected thing about this collaboration is that the world of Monopoly GO will also be rebuilt based on Star Wars.

In this collaboration, players can log in to Monopoly GO and complete activities to earn Star Wars-related stickers. In addition, those who log in to the game on May 4 will receive a special token “in honor of all Star Wars fans.” to commemorate this collaboration.

Holding Tycoon Racers multiplayer events with Pod and Rebel Racers at iconic locations such as Mos Espa Grand Arena and Hoth; teaming up with friends to participate in cooperative activities such as building statues and starships; and participating in special excavation activities on Tatooine to potentially earn Star Wars souvenirs.

In this event, collecting $1 also rewards a large number of Star Wars-themed emoticons, dice, and shields in the game for players to collect.

If both parties are absolutely satisfied with this collaboration between Monopoly GO and Star Wars, then Monopoly GO may have a second or third collaboration with Star Wars. After all, Fortnite has reached many collaborations with Star Wars, and Star Wars’ film and television dramas, video games, and novels will be released one after another. Future cooperation should be more distinctive.

After the developer of Diablo 4 announced a short film about its collaboration with the classic popular anime Berserk, the developer has now announced all the details about this collaboration, including some new activities and new equipment, which fans are looking forward to.

As Season 8 Belial’s Return approaches, players in the game community are full of expectations. Let’s take a look at what new things this popular game and anime collaboration will bring.

Since the official launch, Diablo 4 has been continuously updating various rich game content for players, including various limited-time activities, battle passes and seasons.

In order to meet the needs of players, the developer also announced the game's roadmap some time ago, but because it remained unchanged and lacked innovation, the effect of this update was not as good as expected.

Now, what fans are more concerned about is the crossover collaboration between the game and the popular anime Berserk. And the developer has finally announced the specific content of this collaboration.

First of all, from the gameplay point of view, you have the opportunity to get Behelits from the loot dropped by killing elite enemies. It can be traded in Berserk Reliquary and exchanged for Skull KNight’s Heraldry Mount Armor, Hawks Destiny Back Trophy or Brand of Sacrifice Marking. After you claim all the items, you can get a Commemorative Berserker Emblem.

In order to enrich the game content and meet the needs of players who want more items, the developers have also added special armor sets for the protagonist in Berserk to the game’s product list.

Starting from May 6th, until the end of the new season, players can use $1 in the in-game store to get these new crossover items, including Hawk of Light and Struggler armor sets for Rogue, Skull Knight for Necromancers, and Barbarian’s Berserker Armor.

At the same time, pet gift packs for Schnoz and Warhorse of Hawk will also be launched in the store, but their prices have not yet been announced.

In addition to Season 8’s collaboration with Berserk, Diablo Immortal Struggler’s Path also has a collaboration with the anime. From May 1 to May 30, players can experience new and exciting content in the game.

In Diablo Immortal, just log in to receive login rewards, including decorations, class-specific weapons and badges, etc.

In the new boss battle, we can also fight the cruel Nosferatu Zodd. Defeating it will have a chance to get Berserk-themed loot, such as Crimson Behelit Gem, which can unlock more terrible bosses.

By participating in the Survivor’s Bane Event, we can enter Eclips, fight off waves of enemies, and withstand the sacrifice that shook the Band of the Hawk. There will be many interesting activities and items about cooperation updated in these two games waiting for us to explore.

In general, these adjustments by the developers are intended to make some permanent changes to the game rather than temporary changes that will disappear in future seasons.

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.

Previously, 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.

To 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!
