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.

Collaboration Content And The Possibility Of Multiple Collaborations

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.

New Gameplay

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.

New Armor Sets

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.

Mika's Dilemma

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.

Attack Speed

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!
