General News

It has been three weeks since the launch of ARC Raiders Riven Tides update. If you are a dedicated player, you may have already experienced all the new content; however, there is one specific item you might have overlooked: Avian Alarm Project!

In fact, this potential oversight doesn't concern the project itself, but rather its final four stages (out of a total of five). Below, we will explain why this might happen and help you complete the project before time runs out.

Avian Alarm Project duration

This project launched alongside Riven Tides update and will run until May 25th, ending exactly one week from today. That is precisely why we are sending out this reminder this week!

Prior to Flashpoint update, new projects typically had a much longer duration; for instance, Trophy Display Project introduced back in January is still available to this day.

However, starting with Weather Monitor Station Project in Shrouded Sky update, new projects have been limited to a duration of roughly one month. If you aren't paying close attention, you might not have even noticed this change until now!

Why might you miss the later stages?

The complete Avian Alarm Project consists of five stages. You might have been eager to complete Stage 1 right after the update launched in order to claim one of its rewards, Dockmaster's Detector, only to subsequently forget about the remaining four stages!

This often happens because Dockmaster's Detector is a prerequisite item for accessing the new Beachcombing activity on the new map.

Once unlocked, you likely became engrossed in treasure hunting and combat along the shoreline, gradually forgetting that you had only completed a fraction of Avian Alarm Project.

Another contributing factor is that the completion criteria for Stage 1, which unlocks Dockmaster's Detector, differ from the requirements for the subsequent four stages, making it easy to overlook the latter.

How to complete Avian Alarm Project?

Fortunately, there is still one week remaining before the project concludes. Even if you are a newcomer to the game who hasn't even finished Stage 1 of Avian Alarm yet, there is still plenty of time to catch up!

Stage 1

As the most crucial and unique part of the project, completing Stage 1 requires you to locate a bird trap and place it next to a buoy situated on the dried-up seabed within Riven Tides map.

You can think of this as a casual side quest; the bird trap is an automatically provided item that does not require any separate scavenging to acquire. To complete the placement objective, simply follow these steps:

1. Enter Riven Tides map and locate Port Authority Building situated in the northern sector.
2. Head northeast from the building toward the dried-up seabed located just beyond the seawall.
3. Locate the red buoy, select a spot nearby, and follow the on-screen prompts to place the bird trap.

Upon completion, in addition to Dockmaster's Detector, you will receive 25 Raider Tokens as the reward.

It is worth noting that while placing the bird trap, you can also conveniently complete Shoring Up Defenses and Battening Down quests, as the location is in close proximity to Stacked Yard area.

After this initial completion, if you wish to obtain more Dockmaster's Detectors for beach exploration, you must acquire them through scavenging, as the project reward is a one-time grant.

Stages 2-5

Starting from Stage 2, the project requirements shift to gathering materials. If you simply forgot about the project but have continued playing the game, you may have already inadvertently completed a portion of these requirements.

Listed below are the specific materials required and the corresponding rewards for Stages 2 through 5:

Although these materials are not difficult to find, they are somewhat scattered across the map. Therefore, a faster way to complete this task is to buy ARC Raiders Avian Alarm Materials on IGGM!

We offer trading options with customizable quantities for any stage; you can choose to unlock the project requirements gradually according to your personal needs, or complete the entire project instantly!

How to find ship models?

We believe that most of the materials required for Avian Alarm project will be familiar to you, and you should be able to easily gather them by participating in raids. The only somewhat tricky part involves the four distinct ship models.

Categorically speaking, ship models are classified as trinkets within the game. Although the developers haven't explicitly stated this, it appears that items of this type only spawn on Riven Tides map.

All ship models are scattered randomly across various corners of the map; there is no specific game mechanic that dictates a particular model can only be found at a designated location.

Therefore, the most efficient strategy is to utilize Dockmaster's Detector to more frequently farm resource nodes during Beachcombing map condition, continuing until you have acquired every ship model.

A highly recommended resource node location is the beach situated just north of Port Authority Building, specifically, the spot where you placed the bird trap during Stage 1.

In addition to the four models required for Avian Alarm Project, you may also discover Wind Sprite, which is the base of the set. All five ship models serve as collectibles for another concurrent event: Miniature Voyages.

Miniature Voyages's duration is the same as Avian Alarm, and it requires you to accumulate merits in order to unlock rewards. The sole source of these merits is the collection of ship models:

• Wind Sprite: 5 Merits
• Twilight Compass: 10 Merits
• Velocity: 15 Merits
• Sirena Dorata: 50 Merits
• Leviathan's Crown: 250 Merits

Miniature Voyages reward track requires a grand total of 3,150 Merits to complete, spanning 21 individual rewards. Consequently, the actual quantity of ship models you will need to collect is quite substantial!

That concludes this guide for Avian Alarm Project. Don't forget to tackle Miniature Voyages event alongside it! We hope you manage to successfully complete both events before they come to an end!

Monopoly Go's next racing event is just around the corner. With little time left in the current album, you'll need to seize every opportunity to get more card packs.

Tycoon Racers event does more than just rank racing teams - it also hands out rewards based on how many laps a team completes. In short, just taking part earns you something, but if you want the top prize, you'll have to compete against other teams.

Date

Tycoon Racers always runs for four days. You get one day to pick your teammates or prepare. This time, Tycoon Racers event kicks off right after the digging event. Here are the exact times:

• Start: 2026/05/20 13:00 (ET)
• End: 2026/05/24 15:55 (ET)

Event Rewards

Rewards from Tycoon Racers event come in two parts: team ranking rewards and lap completion rewards.

Team Ranking Rewards

The ranking rewards differ depending on whether you choose to team up or race solo.

Team Racers: 

• 1st: Board Token, 5-star sticker pack, 4-star pack, and Enchanted Storybook
• 2nd: 5-star sticker pack and 4-star sticker pack
• 3rd: 4-star sticker pack and 3-star sticker pack
• 4th: 2-star sticker pack and 1-star sticker pack

Solo Racers: 

• 1st: Board Token, 4-star sticker pack and 3-star sticker pack
• 2nd: 3-star sticker pack, 2-star sticker pack
• 3rd: 3-star sticker pack
• 4th: 2-star sticker pack

The sticker rewards in team mode are noticeably better - the purple pack and Enchanted Storybook far exceed the blue and pink packs from solo mode in terms of value.

Lap Rewards

Apart from the final race rewards, each lap you complete (by accumulating enough points on the track) during the event grants you lap rewards. These typically include sticker packs, dice, cash, or more flags.

However, there is a cap on these lap rewards. Once you hit the limit, completing additional laps will no longer give you any reward.

Which Mode Should You Choose?

To keep things fair, solo players only compete against other solo players, and the same goes for teams. If you're worried about ending up with teammates who don't pull their weight, you can always choose to go solo.

The first 24 hours after the event starts is the team-up portion. During this period, if you're unhappy with your current team or want to switch to solo mode, you can leave by tapping the small red button next to your avatar.

You cannot kick anyone out of the team - you can only leave yourself. After leaving, finding ideal teammates may be difficult, as your friends might already have formed their own teams.

When to Choose Team Mode?

If you're missing only a few five-star stickers, especially gold five-star stickers, then team mode is almost a must. The chance of pulling a five-star sticker from a blue pack is extremely low, offering little help to your current progress. In contrast, Enchanted Storybook and the purple pack are the rewards that truly move the needle toward completing your collection.

When to Choose Solo Mode?

If your sticker collection still has many gaps and you still need a lot of four-star, three-star, and two-star stickers, then the blue and pink packs from solo mode might actually be more practical. These lower-quality sticker packs can fill the blanks in your album faster.

However, whether you race solo or with a team, the number of points needed to complete one lap is exactly the same. Solo mode offers fewer rewards than team mode because in a team you benefit from everyone's collective progress. If you're aiming for bigger rewards, joining a team can give you an extra edge.

Also, given that Monopoly Ever After album ends on June 3rd, joining a team is the better choice. If you've had bad team-up experiences in the past, then buy Monopoly GO Tycoon Racers Event Rank 1 Full Carry service from IGGM could take away your worries - it provides you with several teammates who stay active throughout the event, giving you the strength to compete for first place.

How to Get Flags?

Flags are the core resource for Tycoon Racers event. You can obtain them through:

• Picking them up on the board
• Tournaments and banner events
• The free gift pack every 8 hours
• Daily Quick Wins
• Lap rewards

How to Use Flags?

Once you have flags, you can take them at the dice-launching device in the middle of the track to roll. You can adjust the multiplier based on how many flags you have. The higher the multiplier, the more flags you consume per roll, but also the higher the total points you can get from a single roll.

A normal roll gives you a distance equal to the dice number. If you roll two or three of the same number, you get a large point bonus, making your car speed forward on the track.

When the event ends, any unused flags are converted into in-game cash in Monopoly GO. The conversion rate is very low, far worse than using them to chase lap rewards. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use up all your flags before the event ends to obtain more valuable rewards like dice or sticker packs.

That's everything about Tycoon Racers event from May 20th to 24th. Start asking around in player communities now for active teammates; don't wait for the system to assign teammates to you.

Players, you've been playing Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred for a few weeks now, and you should be familiar with War Plans system, a brand-new endgame feature introduced in Lord of Hatred. Next, we'll discuss how to use War Plans to farm the various Diablo 4 rewards you need.

Upgrade all War Plans to level 10

There are multiple activities you can choose to complete within War Plans. Each completed round of a plan increases War Plan level of that activity, up to a maximum of level 10.

Once an activity's War Plan reaches level 10, even if you no longer actively schedule it, you will automatically receive all the max-level passive bonuses while playing that activity normally, completely transforming your gameplay experience.

More importantly, Mythic War Plans will only have a chance to spawn after all activities have reached level 10. These quests directly reward top-tier Diablo 4 items that cannot be obtained through normal means.

To obtain Mythic War Plans, you should upgrade all activities to level 10. Besides obtaining Mythic Unique items, if you encounter a Mythic War Plan, completing it will directly reward you with a Horadric Gem, which requires 5 Grand Gems to craft. This reward is arguably the most luxurious in the game.

How to efficiently farm Mythic War Plans?

Once all your War Plans are maxed out, the core objective is to repeatedly refresh the plan table to find Mythic War Plans, especially those that reward gems.

Each time you complete a War Plan round, you can reroll three times for free. If no Mythic War Plan appears, prioritize the shortest activity combination, such as Nightmare Dungeon, The Undercity, or Lair Bosses, completing them quickly to advance to the next round.

Helltide takes a long time. Unless you have absolutely no other options, prioritize resetting plans that include Helltide.

Different colored rewards on the table correspond to different qualities, but for Mythic War Plans, don't get bogged down in regular rewards. Instead, keep resetting until a purple Mythic War Plan appears.

Core War Plans

Tree of Whispers

For Tree of Whispers, prioritize maxing out the left skill tree to obtain Corrupted Roots. Planting these in Nightmare Dungeon or Helltide has a high probability of summoning Headrotten Feast. Killing it triggers a large number of monsters and additional rewards, making it one of the strongest farming strategies this season.

The core node in the middle is Wisdom of Whispers. It provides extra experience, greatly aiding leveling.

The right node is more friendly to casual players, offering a chance to directly obtain Resplendent Sparks. It's recommended to prioritize investing in this when lacking Mythic gear.

Nightmare Dungeon

Players must select Gauntlet. When you activate Shrine, killing monsters stores souls. When Shrine ends, all souls will be released at once, which is equivalent to doubling the number of kills. Combined with Corrupted Roots from Tree of Whispers, this can generate massive monster hordes.

Fearless Conviction grants Attuned Primordial Dust in Nightmare Dungeon, a highly valuable material used this season to reroll Unique gear affixes.

Helltide

Players should prioritize Bursting Brood, which spawns numerous Maggots in Helltide, providing a massive amount of experience upon defeat, making it the best way to quickly level up Paragon.

Second priority is Meat Brothers, which spawns two Butchers. Killing them drops Profane Mindcage, which increases the monster level in Helltide. Higher monster levels significantly increase the quality and quantity of loot.

This War Plan requires almost no changes and is considered the optimal solution.

The Undercity

Gutter Filth is an absolutely core node in the The Undercity skill tree. It increases your final caches to 3-4, allowing you to obtain 4 Mythic items at once, making it the fastest way for newcomers to acquire Mythic gear.

Here's a pitfall players should avoid: don't select the node that adds extra cache but requires a key to open. The cache contains no special items, making it a complete waste of the node.

Lair Bosses

Lair of Runes and Lair of Plenty are two of the strongest damage-boosting nodes, directly granting the boss's Monster Power +1. This significantly improves drop quality and the drop rate of Mythic gear, making it core to any boss farming.

Selecting Ultimate Nemesis gives a chance to open a portal upon defeating a boss. Entering this portal leads to encounters with additional bosses, potentially triggering deeper portals. Players can obtain multiple Mythic items and a large amount of materials in a single encounter.

The last two nodes are completely customizable. Adjust them flexibly based on your current main farming content. For example, switch to Helltide-related nodes for Helltide farming, and to The Pit nodes for The Pit farming.

The Pit

If you're still upgrading your Glyph, prioritize selecting Choron's Blessing to increase Glyph Upgrade Chance by +1. Next, select Pit Buthcer to increase the chance of encountering Butcher. Defeating Butcher immediately ends the current Pit and grants all upgrade opportunities, significantly saving time.

To speed up completion, you can also select Heart of Stone, Choron's Haste, which allows you to complete Pits faster and gain more Glyph upgrade attempts.

Once all your Glyphs are maxed out, you can exchange excess Choron's Souls for equipment or experience points, but the experience gain is extremely low and not highly recommended.

Infernal Hordes

Most players may not enjoy this mode, but to upgrade all War Plans to level 10 and unlock Mythic War Plans, you still need to grit your teeth and level up.

The only efficient leveling technique is to find three other players who also want to level up, form a four-person team, and start Infernal Hordes in turn. After each round, take turns joining other players' rooms; this way, completing it once will increase the progress of multiple people simultaneously.

So, these are the farming strategies for various events in War Plans. Good luck farming for Mythic War Plans!

Greetings, Diablo 4 fans! We are just days away from the launch of the brand-new Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 14, arriving on May 22nd! Thanks to Patch 3.2, released just a few days ago, we now know that this seasonal update brings with it more refined class balancing and even more brutal endgame challenges. Of particular interest are the series of highly forward-thinking adjustments and bug fixes implemented for Warlock class.

Following this comprehensive rework, Warlock is poised to maintain the same level of dominance in Season 14 that it enjoyed in the previous season. Among the many Warlock builds available, Summon Tainted Blood Boil hybrid build stands head and shoulders above the rest, having already demonstrated its earth-shattering power during the recent Patch 3.2 PTR. Although the official release of Season 14 will inevitably bring some degree of balancing nerfs, this build will undoubtedly retain its throne as the premier S-Tier Warlock build of the season!

Next, we will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the gameplay mechanics behind this Summon Tainted Blood Boil Warlock build, helping you kick off Ladder Season 14 with a mindless farming setup that lets you speed-run content with ease!

Warlock Class Rework

Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the adjustments made to Warlock class in D2R Season 14 and how they impact Summon Tainted Blood Boil build. 

Although Warlock was only recently introduced to the game in Season 13, via Reign of the Warlock expansion, it did not initially possess the overwhelming, tier-breaking advantage that other launch classes often enjoy right out of the gate. On the contrary, the class and its builds faced significant skepticism throughout Season 13 because of underlying mechanical issues; however, the arrival of Season 14 has completely turned the tide.

Synergy between Blood Boil and Summon Tainted

First and foremost, the synergistic damage intended between Blood Boil and Summon Tainted skills simply wasn't functioning correctly in Season 13. Fortunately, the 3.2 PTR addressed this issue, granting a massive bonus of up to 30% increased Fire Damage per skill level. This means that in its fully optimized endgame state, a single Tainted Demon minion can now dish out approximately 45,000 DPS, a truly game-breaking level of power! 

Evidently, the developers didn't want a single build to be quite so dominant; consequently, in the official release of Season 14, they reduced its synergy bonus to 20%. Although the damage output is slightly lower compared to PTR, it remains an exceptionally powerful and viable build!

Gear & Skill Affix Bugs

Additionally, in the past, affixes such as +3 to Fire Skills, provided by items like Magefist or the Flickering Flame Runeword, did not correctly apply to Summon Tainted skill. However, this bug was completely resolved in Season 14, allowing the bonuses from fire-based gear to stack perfectly on your summoned minions, resulting in a massive leap in performance.

Attack Speed ​​Display Issues

Finally, they also fixed a visual bug where attack speed bonuses, derived from Demonic Mastery and other sources, were not correctly displayed in Summon Tainted skill tooltip. You can now fully manage your Warlock build with complete confidence and clarity.

Skill Tree

Now, let's take a look at the skill tree setup for Summon Tainted/Blood Boil hybrid build. The core logic behind this build is as follows: rely primarily on the massive fire damage output from Summon Tainted, utilize the physical damage from Blood Boil as a secondary source to clear fire-immune monsters, and leverage curses to provide crowd control and target positioning.

Chaos Skills

• Sigil Death / Death Mark: 1 point. Not only does this trigger additional corpse explosions to accelerate clearing speed, but more importantly, it allows you to position and gather your Demon Tainted minions, directing their attacks precisely where you need them.
• Sigil: Lethargy: 1 point. Used to handle high-damage bosses or dangerous elite packs, providing extremely potent crowd control through significant movement speed reduction.

Eldritch Skills

No points required here. This section contains no skills that offer any substantial benefit to this specific build, so you can skip it entirely.

Demon Skills

• Golem: 1 point (prerequisite skill).
• Summon Tainted: 20 points. Your core primary damage-dealing skill; summons fire-breathing demonic turrets.
• Blood Boil: 20 points. The core synergy skill for Summon Tainted, and also your primary source of physical damage when facing fire-immune monsters.
• Demonic Mastery: 20 points. Provides absolutely critical bonuses to damage, attack speed, and burst potential for your Demon Tainted minions.
• Blood Oath: 20 points. Prioritize this over Engorge (listed below) to maximize the damage output of Blood Boil.
• Engorge: Invest all remaining skill points here. Used to further round out skill synergies.

Stat Points

Regarding the stat allocation for Summon Tainted Blood Boil build, there is only one aspect we need to focus on: Vitality. With the exception of the minimum Strength required to equip all end-game gear, invest every remaining stat point into Vitality.

Thanks to a robust base Life pool, this build can easily reach over 2000 Life even without any active buffs. As this is a summoner-style build, your character, the caster, remains safely positioned behind your Demon Tainted minions while dealing damage; consequently, there is no need to obsess over achieving absolute perfection in Resistances and Defense, resulting in an exceptionally high safety margin.

Endgame Gear Setup

This build is hyper-focused on maximizing Fire and Demon skills, achieving high Cast Speed, and minimizing enemy Fire Resistance as much as possible. Therefore, when selecting gear, we prioritize the following items for your consideration:

• Weapon: Mang Song's Lesson
• Jewel: Defender's Fire
• Helmet: Flickering Flame Runeword
• Amulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope
• Gauntlets: Magefist
• Belt: Arachnid Mesh
• Ring 1: Stone of Jordan
• Ring 2: Opalvein
• Boots: Wraithstep

Mercenaries

Regarding Mercenaries, to push your damage output to the absolute limit, we highly recommend recruiting an Act II Desert Mercenary equipped with Holy Freeze crowd-control Aura. Not only does this provide a wide-area slow effect (CC), but the mercenary's core gear setup also serves as the foundation for dealing truly astronomical damage.

Notably, we utilize Infinity Runeword on the mercenary's weapon. Veteran players will undoubtedly be familiar with this item; while it is extremely expensive, its inherent Conviction Aura, when combined with other specific Runewords, can effectively reduce enemy Fire Resistance into negative territory.

How to farm with ease?

Honestly, this build offers an incredibly smooth gameplay experience, even within Terror Zones. This is particularly evident when encountering large packs of monsters: you can instantly use Death Mark to tag key targets, prompting your Demon Tainted minions to focus their fire on them immediately.

From there, simply maintain a safe distance while casting Sigil of Death to trigger chain reactions of Corpse Explosion, all while relentlessly bombarding the mob with Blood Boil. Even if you encounter monsters with exceptionally high Fire Resistance, Physical damage component of Blood Boil, combined with the focused assault from your Summon Tainted minions, will instantly vaporize them.

In summary, Summon Tainted Blood Boil hybrid build perfectly encapsulates the true essence and allure of Warlock class as a master summoner of the infernal realms. Not only does it boast top-tier damage output, but it also offers an exceptionally high margin for operational error. If you are looking for a premier starter build for Diablo 2: Resurrected Season 14, one that allows for mindless, effortless farming while easily handling any immune monsters, then this build is absolutely the perfect choice for you.

Forza Horizon 6 Early Access Date

Forza Horizon 6 unlocks on Xbox and PC on May 19, but players with early access get to enter the game four days ahead of schedule. On Xbox consoles and PC Xbox App, this early entry typically begins at 12:01 AM local time on May 15. A few regions get it slightly earlier.

• United States: May 14 at 9:01 PM (Pacific Time) / 11:01 PM (Central Time)
• Other Regions: Most unlock at 12:01 AM local time on May 15.

For players on Steam, the early access launch follows a unified schedule:

Early access is now fully underway, so you can log in right now and tear through Japan's cities and countryside. However, some players who pre-ordered the game may still find themselves locked out, likely because their version doesn't grant early access eligibility.

How to Get Early Access?

Not everyone who pre-orders can enter early. Currently, the only way to get a four-day head start is with Premium Edition. Even Deluxe Edition won't get you past the gate.

If you're feeling impatient, you can either upgrade directly to Premium Edition or get Premium Upgrade to unlock early access. Beyond the new cars, upgrading to the higher tier also gives you a boost that helps you earn more Forza Horizon 6 Credits in the early stages of the game.

Here's what each version includes:

• Pre-order bonus: Ferrari J50 (pre-tuned, exclusive)
• No early access

Deluxe Edition ($99.99)

System Requirements

You might jump at the chance to grab Premium Edition, only to find your hardware struggling to keep up - with the sound of your fans whining even louder than the car engines in the game. So before you commit, it's a wise move to check the official system requirements.

Minimum Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• GPU: GTX 1650
• RAM: 16 GB

This setup delivers a smooth 60-frame experience at 1080p native resolution with low graphics settings. For reference, in Forza Horizon 5, GTX 1650 can average around 60–70 frames at high settings (1080p), and can even reach 90–100 frames on low settings. That means FH6's low settings may actually look better than the previous game's low settings, while demanding slightly more performance - dropping from 100 to 60 frames. For a sequel, that's a superb optimization job.

Recommended Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (both 6-core, 12-thread)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8GB VRAM) / Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB VRAM) / Intel Arc A580 (8GB VRAM)
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: SSD

This setup targets 1440p resolution, high graphics settings, and over 60 frames. In FH5, an 8GB graphics card running at 4K ultra settings may start swapping data to system memory after extended play due to VRAM constraints.

But the game's excellent memory management means you'll rarely face major stuttering - just minor performance hiccups. So RTX 3060 Ti and A580 should handle 1440p high settings without trouble, while RX 6700 XT's 12GB of VRAM gives you room for even sharper texture detail.

Extreme Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (12GB VRAM) / Radeon RX 7900 XT (20GB VRAM)
• RAM: 24 GB
• Storage: NVMe SSD

This setup gets you 4K native resolution, ultra settings, and over 60 frames. And it's far from top-tier - compared to many newer games, FH6 is clearly more approachable in its optimization. 12GB of VRAM is plenty for 4K ultra settings, while the RX 7900 XT's 20GB of VRAM offers even more headroom.

If you're chasing maximum ray tracing, you'll want to step up to a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon RX 9070 XT, and Memory should also be upgraded to 32GB.

In short, if your current machine runs Forza Horizon 5 without breaking a sweat, it'll handle FH6 just fine. So go ahead and secure that Premium Edition to get your early access underway.

Perhaps due to two previous delays, players are eager to avoid any further disappointment; consequently, discussions regarding the release timing of the third GTA 6 trailer and the commencement of pre-orders have recently reached a fever pitch.

Fortunately, leaked information regarding the start date for pre-orders has surfaced, and it appears to be quite credible! Below, we will walk you through these details and analyze the potential trajectory of the game's rollout moving forward.

Possible pre-order release date

According to the leaked information, it is anticipated that Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order could open on May 18, 2026, this coming Monday, and certainly no later than May 21.

This speculation stems from the fact that one of the prominent retail partners for physical copies of GTA series, recently launched a new promotional campaign with a specific timeframe spanning from May 18 to May 21, 2026.

Although the source of this campaign information is an email from this company's affiliate program, the news has since been corroborated by multiple professional media outlets and industry insiders.

Interestingly, the game's official news portal has not yet published any content or announcements regarding GTA 6 pre-orders. However, by next Monday at the very latest, they are bound to make a move!

What might the pre-order content include?

Once pre-orders go live, you will not only discover the game's specific pricing but will also likely see various editions of the game made available.

For GTA 6, we can expect, at a minimum, a Standard Edition and a Premium Edition; the latter, in addition to the base game, will probably include a host of exclusive in-game items and bonuses.

Naturally, it is also highly probable that a Collector's Edition will be released. Based on precedents set by previous titles in the series, GTA 6 Collector's Edition is expected to encompass all the content found in the other two editions, while also granting you certain exclusive privileges or perks.

Furthermore, coinciding with the launch of pre-orders, Grand Theft Auto 6 may also gradually unveil its official logo and cover art, details that are sure to generate plenty of excitement and anticipation among fans.

Reduced likelihood of further delays

While the accuracy of the specific pre-order date cannot be absolutely guaranteed, it certainly appears to be just around the corner.

Once pre-orders officially commence, the game's final release date, under normal circumstances, should be locked in and no longer subject to change.

So, if you previously harbored doubts about Grand Theft Auto 6 due to fears of yet another delay, you can now put those concerns to rest and immediately look to IGGM GTA 6 Store as your trusted choice!

Through our secure and rapid services, we ensure that once the game launches, you will be able to unlock more content and items faster than anyone else, guaranteeing you the ultimate GTA 6 experience.

Evidence from other channels

While the aforementioned leaks serve as key indicators, a host of new marketing initiatives across various other platforms provide powerful corroboration.

For instance, if you are a veteran player who still plays GTA 5 on a PS4, you likely received a recent notification from PlayStation urging you to upgrade your console to a PS5 in preparation for the launch of GTA 6 on November 19.

With six months still remaining until that date, PlayStation certainly wouldn't have sent out such an email out of the blue, unless, of course, there was imminent activity surrounding the game itself.

Another piece of evidence comes from one special magazine. Prior to the launch of GTA 5, this magazine exclusively revealed a wealth of related information; this past Thursday, they published an article regarding a leaked timeframe for GTA 6 pre-orders.

Although the article suggests that the May 18-21 window might merely be a promotional lead-up period established by that retail company for GTA 6 pre-orders, implying the actual start date could be later, truth be told, it can't be much longer now!

Further corroboration comes from an intriguing discovery made by players. While examining the GTM analytics scripts embedded in GTA 6 webpage, someone stumbled upon a hidden event labeled CTA pre-order.

CTA typically stands for Call to Action, an instruction designed to guide users toward taking a specific step. While this doesn't directly confirm that pre-orders are about to open, it certainly indicates that a pre-order system is actively being built.

The final piece of evidence originates from the developers of GTA 6 themselves. In their recent official posts, the color schemes predominantly feature the distinct thematic palette of GTA 6.

Furthermore, the developers have pinned the game's second official trailer to the top of their feeds across all their social media platforms.

Interestingly, the release date displayed at the very end of that trailer remains May 26, 2026, a pivotal date that is now less than two weeks away.

While we cannot guarantee that there will definitely be any developments regarding the game before May 26th, just imagine: if you were a new player, unfamiliar with GTA 6, who watched this trailer after the 26th only to discover that pre-orders hadn't even opened yet, you would undoubtedly feel deceived!

Finally, with pre-orders now underway, we believe the release of Trailer 3 is just around the corner. Let's look forward to even more surprises coming our way next week!

Monopoly Go Wonderland Adventures introduces a fresh and engaging new mode: you and your friends need to collect Adventure Club Tokens to complete tasks. Among the best ways to gather these tokens is Beanstalk Bonanza banner event and its milestones.

Beanstalk Bonanza banner event lasts for two days, with Adventure Club tokens almost evenly distributed across the milestones. Let's see what smarter collection strategies are available.

Date

Beanstalk Bonanza banner event starts almost at the same time as the Wonderland Adventures event, though it lasts for a shorter period. Here are the exact date:

• Start: May 13, 17:00 UTC / May 13, 10:00 PT / May 13, 13:00 ET
• End: May 15, 17:00 UTC / May 15, 10:00 PT / May 15, 13:00 ET

Thus, even after Beanstalk Bonanza concludes, there is no rush to use all your tokens at once. You can save them for later or discuss with your teammates how best to use them.

How to Earn Points?

To complete all 62 milestones of Beanstalk Bonanza banner event, a total of 46,400 points is required. Given the scoring mechanism, this is not an easy target. You earn points by landing on three specific tile types:

• Chance: 1 point
• Community Chest: 1 point
• Railroad: 2 points

Even when you do land on a scoring tile, you might only get 1 point. Considering the total points needed for 62 milestones, skipping some milestone rewards may be a wiser choice.

If you choose to control the rolls manually, you can set a multiplier before a Railroad tile. This is not only because it yields 2 points, but also because this tile helps you earn points in the tournament as well. A successful landing on Railroad with an active multiplier saves dice in the long run.

Beanstalk Bonanza Banner Event Rewards

Throughout the milestones of Beanstalk Bonanza banner event, only 136 Adventure Club Tokens are available. The tricky part is that to collect all of them, you need to complete 61 milestones. If you only finish half, say 30 milestones, you will get just 65 tokens.

If your main goal is Monopoly Go stickers, it is recommended to aim for the 27th milestone. In addition to sticker packs, you will also receive 58 tokens. For those with a strong dice reserve, attempting the 48th milestone could be worthwhile, granting roughly 95 tokens and 8,705 dice.

Below is an overview of the main rewards from Beanstalk Bonanza banner event:

• 18,205 Dice
• 136 Adventure Club Tokens
• 2 Green Sticker Packs
• 1 Yellow Sticker Pack
• 1 Pink Sticker Pack
• Random Boost at Milestone 4
• Builder's Bash at Milestone 18
• Color Wheel Boost at Milestone 44
• Mega Heist at Milestone 50

The following is the detailed milestone reward list for Beanstalk Bonanza banner event:

That covers everything about Monopoly Go Beanstalk Bonanza banner event. Future banner events will also reward Adventure Club Tokens, so you can plan ahead accordingly.

The arrival of Friday signals the addition of a new batch of FC 26 TOTS player cards to the game. To help you unlock them in a timely manner and to offer even more opportunities, a host of new objectives have either just arrived or are coming soon.

One of the more interesting additions is a new Seasonal Objective: Racing Towards Victory. It consists of three distinct stages, each featuring its own set of specific objectives; only upon completing all of them will you be eligible to claim the associated packs and SP rewards.

Below, we'll walk you through the specific details of this evolving objective and explain exactly how to complete it.

Racing Towards Victory release date

This evolving objective officially went live on the afternoon of May 14th. All three stages were released simultaneously, meaning you are free to progress through any stage at any time within the 21-day limited window.

What rewards can you earn?

As an evolving objective, Racing Towards Victory distributes rewards in stages; however, only Stage 3 includes player packs.

It is worth noting that the rewards for Stages 1 and 2 include items that are essential for unlocking the subsequent stages. Therefore, you cannot simply skip these earlier stages to jump directly to complete Stage 3.

Here is a breakdown of the rewards available for each stage of Racing Towards Victory:

• Stage 1: 500 SP and Racing Towards Victory Kit 2
• Stage 2: 500 SP and Racing Towards Victory Kit 3
• Stage 3: 1,000 SP and 3x 87+ Rare Gold Players Packs

Upon completing the entire Racing Towards Victory objective, you will have accumulated a grand total of 2,000 SP! This will help you rapidly advance your Season Pass progress and unlock the corresponding rewards!

How to complete Racing Towards Victory?

Each stage of Racing Towards Victory comprises three specific objectives. Completing each individual objective earns you 100 SP, while completing all objectives within a given stage is required to claim the full set of stage rewards.

Stage 1

The prerequisite for completing this stage is equipping Racing Towards Victory Kit 1. Currently, the only confirmed method for obtaining this kit is by redeeming it in Ultimate Team Store: it needs either 40,000 coins or 250 points.

Both of these currencies must be earned through active participation in daily gameplay. Additionally, points are seasonal and will reset once the current season concludes.

Given that Season 7 has only recently begun, and considering the relatively high coin requirement to unlock Kit 1, we highly recommend getting FC 26 coins for sale on IGGM directly to fulfill this requirement faster!

Once you have acquired the kit, simply equip it and complete the following three objectives to clear Stage 1:

• Play 3: Complete three matches in any Ultimate Team game mode.
• Score 3: Score three goals in any Ultimate Team game mode.
• Win 3: Secure three victories in any Ultimate Team game mode.

Highly skilled players can complete Stage 1 in as few as three matches; otherwise, the number of matches required is theoretically limitless (since you could potentially keep losing or failing to score)!

Stage 2

Upon completing Stage 1, you will receive Racing Towards Victory Kit 2 as one of your rewards. Equip this kit, then complete the exact same three objectives as in Stage 1 to claim your rewards.

Stage 3

The three objectives in this final stage are completed in the same manner as in the previous two; the only difference is that you must equip Racing Towards Victory Kit 3, which you obtained during Stage 2.

Once completed, you will receive SP rewards for this stage, as well as a pack containing 3x 87+ Rare Gold Player Items. If luck is on your side, you might even pull a currently active promo card from this pack.

How to play Ultimate Team?

Currently, Ultimate Team features a variety of specific game modes. We recommend choosing the mode you excel at most to complete these objectives quickly and avoid wasting time.

Champions

This is currently the premier competitive mode in FIFA 26, ensuring that, in addition to your objective rewards, you can earn extra TOTS players.

Rivals

This mode is based on an online ranking system; you must participate in it and climb the ranks to qualify for Champions. It is worth noting that FUT 26 has introduced optimizations to this mode.

Squad Battles

As an offline, single-player mode, Squad Battles simply requires you to play matches against AI-controlled squads, yet the rewards are by no means inferior!

Live Events

Introduced as a brand-new dynamic mode in the 2026 season, Live Events offer a wide array of customized squad requirements and match rules, providing a high degree of flexibility and entertainment value.

Gauntlets

Each round of a Gauntlet consists of five fast-paced matches; you are required to rotate your squad lineup before the start of every match.

Tournaments

FC 26 has introduced a knockout-style format for this mode. Under unique squad restrictions, you will play through a maximum of four rounds, with rewards distributed based on your final results.

Challengers

A mode better suited for beginners or casual players, though the quality of the rewards obtained is slightly more modest.

That covers everything you need to know to complete Racing Towards Victory 1-3 objectives. This evolving objective series concludes on the Thursday three weeks from now, be sure to complete it before time runs out!

MLB The Show 26 has been out for two months, and the development team shows no signs of slowing down, continuously releasing updates. They just released Update 9, which officially launched on May 14th at 4 AM Pacific Time, available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. This is a perfect opportunity to review how far MLB 26 has come since its release.

From refining the gameplay and enhancing Diamond Dynasty, to the deep overhaul of the trading logic in Franchise mode, MLB 26 has delivered satisfying results on multiple levels this year, continuously evolving through frequent patches.

This update focuses on fixing those frustrating bugs in various modes and also addresses other issues in the game.

Addressing Pain Points

PCI Anchor

The most welcome update in Update 9 is undoubtedly the fix to the long-standing PCI Anchor display problem.

For weeks, players have repeatedly pointed out misalignments in PCI Anchor and strike zone anchor positions, causing significant instability in accurate hit detection and home plate coverage.

This update finally addresses this issue effectively and should bring back the signature crisp and clean hitting experience of MLB The Show series.

Diamond Dynasty

In addition to fixing PCI Anchor problem, update 9 also brings numerous adjustments to the core game modes.

In Diamond Dynasty mode, this update allows real-time content tiles to be manipulated directly from the home tab and fixes an issue where XP wheel wouldn't display non-silver card rewards correctly.

The particularly annoying bug that could previously result in empty cards as rewards in Mini Seasons has finally been resolved in this update. Update 9 also fixes the incorrect team logo issue in Mini Seasons and resolves the display issue of letters with accents on uniforms.

These seemingly minor tweaks demonstrate that the development team is truly listening to player feedback.

Franchise

Regarding Franchise mode, the changes are more structural.

The bug that prevented arbitration offers or contract renewals when a team's roster reached the 93-player limit has been fixed. Trade counter-proposals involving budgets have also been optimized.

Furthermore, the update adds restrictions to prevent trades from exceeding the roster limit for pitchers or positional players.

The development team stated that future Live Roster updates will specifically address the realism, long-term playability, and stability of Franchise mode, with more significant rating updates expected at key points such as All-Star break, Trade Deadline, and the end of the regular season.

Updated Player Models

This update also includes a long list of updated player models:

• Luis Arraez
• Nick Gonzales
• Zach Neto
• Luinder Avila
• Lourdes Gurriel Jr
• Jeremy Pena
• Ben Brown
• PJ Higgins
• Joc Pederson
• Edward Cabrera
• Nick Kurtz
• Ted Radcliffe
• Ryan Campos
• Joel Kuhnel
• Agustin Ramirez
• Matt Chapman
• Joe LaSorsa
• Rob Refsnyder
• Patrick Corbin
• James McCann
• Austin Slater
• Aaron Civale
• Luis Medina
• Ty Southisene
• Kerry Carpenter
• Gage Miller
• Mitch Spence
• Nick Castellanos
• Carmen Mlodzinski
• Carson Spiers

• Will Taylor
• Chris Devenski
• Andres Munoz
• James Wood
• Jake Fraley
• Cedric Mullins
• Grant Wolfram
• Tanner Gordon
• Noah Murdock
• Cole Young
• Yoendrys Gomez

For players who spend hours studying batting styles and pitching motions, these visual refinements will provide a substantial improvement.

Game Evolution Retrospective

Diamond Dynasty

Diamond Dynasty remains the soul of MLB 26, and this year the mode has received one of its most significant upgrades to date.

World Baseball Classic has been fully integrated into Diamond Dynasty, including WBC-exclusive stadiums such as Tokyo Dome and Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Players can challenge top teams from around the world with their custom lineups and earn WBC-themed cards.

The revamped Parallel XP is also a highlight this year, offering unprecedented freedom in player development. It also introduces Red Diamond rarity level, containing top-tier player cards that surpass traditional diamond levels, enough to change the course of a game.

The competitive side of Diamond Dynasty has also been simplified. The development team focuses the spotlight entirely on the Legend bracket. This means fewer divisions but a higher concentration of players, creating a more competitive environment.

Simultaneously, the prize pool has been increased across the board to match the higher level of competition. Legend bracket champion now receives 5,000 MLB 26 stubs plus an exclusive card pack. Celebration Series also returns with a more packed schedule and richer rewards.

Franchise

Franchise mode has arguably undergone the most dramatic changes in MLB 26. The all-new Trade Hub has become a one-stop platform for all lineup management activities, equipped with a completely rebuilt trading logic system. For the first time, you can complete a 4-for-4 trade. This adds a new dimension of complexity to lineup building.

Furthermore, speed players will no longer be automatically placed in the first batting lineup, as the system now optimizes your batting lineup by taking into account the second position and various dynamic factors.

Player degradation and progression mechanics have also been refined to simulate real-world team decision-making logic, making long-term roster planning more realistic and believable than ever before.

Whether you want to meticulously manage every playoff decision and trade negotiation, or prefer a streamlined approach to quickly progress through multiple seasons, Franchise Mode can adapt to your playstyle.

Combined with this Update 9, these changes are sure to bring players the long-awaited depth and realism.

The various bug fixes in Update 9, especially the improvements to PCI Anchor and Franchise trading logic, demonstrate the development team's dedication to refining the player experience. Go live and experience it now!

While playing Diablo 4, it is highly recommended that you keep a close eye on official announcements or statements released across various platforms; otherwise, you risk missing out on new changes that could significantly enhance your gameplay experience!

For instance, on May 13th, Diablo 4 released Patch 3.0.2, includes a fix for Aspect of Glynn's Anvil. If your character's chosen class is capable of utilizing this Aspect, you absolutely need to know the details!

Below, we will introduce Aspect of Glynn's Anvil and its recent bug fix, while also providing specific guidance for the relevant classes.

Aspect of Glynn's Anvil bug fixed

Introduced as a new Legendary Aspect in Lord of Hatred expansion, Aspect of Glynn's Anvil serves to increase your Maximum Resolve by 2 points. Furthermore, for every stack of Resolve you accumulate, you gain a damage reduction effect ranging from 2.5% to 4%.

For a period, this latter benefit, the damage reduction effect, was not functioning correctly; fortunately, this issue has now been resolved.

It is worth noting that only six classes in the game are capable of utilizing this aspect: Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Paladin, Rogue, and Spiritborn. Consequently, this recent change has no impact on players of Warlock or Sorcerer classes.

Additionally, the gear slots capable of being imprinted with Aspect of Glynn's Anvil include helms, chest armor, pants, shields, and amulets. If imprinted onto an amulet, Aspect receives an additional 50% bonus to its effects.

To unlock this aspect, you must first acquire a Legendary item that already possesses it, typically by farming various in-game events. You then need to salvage that item at The Blacksmith to permanently add the aspect to your Codex of Power.

Once saved, you can visit The Occultist to imprint Aspect of Glynn's Anvil onto a new piece of gear. We generally recommend selecting a high-quality item with strong base stats as your target piece for imprinting.

General strategy

Assuming Aspect of Glynn's Anvil is functioning correctly, the primary step in utilizing it, regardless of which of the six eligible classes you are playing, is to craft a general gear with Resolve.

If this item is subsequently Tempered and Masterworked, the potential Resolve stack count will increase even further; applying this process to an Amulet can yield an additional +12 to your Resolve stacks.

From there, your objective is simply to continuously accumulate Resolve stacks. Whenever your character sustains direct damage, these Resolve stacks will be consumed to provide you with damage reduction.

Druid

For Druid players, stacking Resolve is quite easy, as you can equip Might of the Ursine ring to automatically gain one stack of Resolve per second while in Werebear form.

Most importantly, you gain access to Obsidian Slam, which grants you one stack of Resolve whenever you cast an Earth skill. However, if you attempt to use this combo immediately before casting Cataclysm, it will not work.

Consequently, you must use Debilitating Roar while Roar is active to stack additional Resolve, or rely on Bulwark to ensure that Resolve is generated every time the skill triggers.

It is worth noting that we recommend imprinting Aspect of Glynn's Anvil onto Mythic helm Heir of Perdition; this allows you to transfer the item to other characters of different classes and continue utilizing its effects.

Barbarian

Upon introducing the imprinted Heir of Perdition, your Barbarian character will immediately start with 24 stacks of Resolve. You should then select Iron Skin, which grants two stacks of Resolve upon casting.

Subsequently, thanks to Cooldown Reduction provided by Ancient Barbarian, you can stack Resolve more rapidly, thereby gaining increased damage reduction.

Necromancer

As a Necromancer, you can command a skeletal army and apply Decrepify to enemies via Lucky Hits to generate Resolve stacks, your leg armor will automatically apply this curse.

Paladin

This class can stack Resolve via Rite of Prayer; by healing yourself and your allies, you gain two stacks of Resolve per second.

Additionally, you can pair this with Aspect of Dominance and Aspect of Interdiction, the latter increases your Block Chance based on the number of Resolve stacks you currently possess.

Spiritborn

To utilize Glynn's Anvil effectively as a Spiritborn, it is recommended that you craft a gorilla build, which makes stacking Resolve significantly easier.

This type of build primarily functions through poison buffs and Rushing Claw; you can then easily generate Resolve using Rock Splitter and Crushing Hand combo.

In fact, Spiritborn has numerous sources for generating Resolve. For instance, Aspect of Kinetic Suppression grants you three stacks of Resolve whenever you cast a non-basic mobility skill (such as Rushing Claw).

Alternatively, Aspect of Tenacity allows you to gain one stack of Resolve for every 15 points of Spirit generated while you are at maximum Spirit capacity.

Rogue

As a Rogue, you can primarily gain additional stacks of Resolve by casting Dash skill. Furthermore, Concealment also provides you with Resolve.

Moreover, Cold Imbuement and Poison Trap skills can generate even more stacks of Resolve. Consequently, for this class, stacking Resolve presents absolutely no challenge.

Although the remaining two classes cannot utilize Aspect of Glynn's Anvil, they can still stack Resolve through other means, such as Aspect of Dominance, which is mentioned in this guide. If you are interested, feel free to experiment with them yourself!

If you want to enjoy the buffs provided by Aspect of Glynn's Anvil as quickly as possible, the best method is to buy Diablo 4 items on IGGM!

Here, you can find a wide variety of gear pieces that already have this aspect imprinted on them; simply trade for the items that suit your character's needs and equip them immediately! There is no need to go through the hassle of farming or imprinting!
