Nowadays, online shopping has become commonplace. If you are a veteran gamer, you should even be accustomed to buying virtual products through virtual networks, such as various game currencies and gear.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of transaction itself, and it can even be said to be a great proof of the progress of network technology. Take IGGM as an example. Since its launch, the website has always been committed to providing you with high-quality and reliable in-game goods services.

However, it is precisely because of the particularity of online transactions and virtual goods that some criminals have taken advantage of it. If you are an old customer of IGGM, you must have recently noticed a new website MMOWOW that is exactly the same as IGGM.

You don’t even need to observe carefully. As long as you enter MMOWOW, you will find that whether it is the layout of the website page or the way of displaying goods, or even the content, title and pictures of game news, they are exactly the same as IGGM! But this is actually a fraudulent website that has nothing to do with IGGM!

What Are The Evil Deeds Of MMOWOW?

Considering that MMOWOW’s various behaviors are very harmful, especially threatening your property safety, we list the known bad behaviors of MMOWOW as follows. You will have the opportunity to avoid their scams and see what a real shameless person is.

Identical Website Pages

For shopping websites, although there is no need to pursue overly fancy page layouts, they always display unique web page designs under the premise of highlighting the products - in fact, this is also part of originality.

However, as you can see, MMOWOW even has the same sub-pages as IGGM! If it weren’t for the subtle differences in logo and color, you would think it was IGGM. The purpose of doing this is to confuse people and to try to discredit IGGM’s reputation.

Copied Game News

While providing you with commodity trading services, IGGM also invited a group of authors to write instant news so that you can enjoy first-hand game information while shopping.

However, MMOWOW not only copied the service, but also “stole” part of the news that IGGM had released, and some of them did not even change the illustrations. Jokingly speaking, they even lack sincerity in deceiving people, and are even unwilling to package the trap to be more credible.

Fake Goods And Services

After seeing the unreliable basic content of the website, it is not difficult to guess that MMOWOW’s goods and services should also be completely unreliable. If you shop here, you may encounter a situation where the product is not shipped but your refund is not given.

This simple loss of a small amount of money is just the least harmful result. What is more terrible is that your account may be stolen or your credit card may be defrauded, resulting in more serious losses!

The trouble is that a few consumers may not have been exposed to game product transactions before, so they will be easily deceived by MMOWOW; there are also players who may be ready to go to IGGM based on their trust in IGGM, but in the end they mistakenly think that the two websites belong to the same company because of the similar website design.

Non-Existent Customer Service

Although you don’t need to expect their customer service to provide any useful services for such a rogue website, it is even more ridiculous that MMOWOW actually directly links their chat address to IGGM’s customer service! This further deepens the perception of these consumers that the two websites are related.

Although IGGM is also a victim, it still insists on clarifying itself and points out the harmfulness of MMOWOW through customer service responses and other means, and is committed to minimizing the losses suffered by players.

How To Avoid This Fraud Trap?

Although you can’t helplessly think that this is a normal phenomenon because of the proliferation of fake websites in the market, in order to protect your property and information security, you should learn about anti-fraud knowledge while focusing on improving your game level.

Check Website Information

Generally speaking, most shopping websites will display the number of shipments and user reviews of their products. In addition, there is information on the special review website Trustpilot Reviews for reference.

If a website has a few transactions and many negative reviews, it is obviously unreliable. But you need to be careful that it is not difficult to display false transaction amounts and false positive reviews now, so you’d better combine multiple data to identify the actual information.

Choose Familiar Or Trustworthy Websites

If you often buy game products, there must be a website that you are familiar with and that you think is trustworthy, such as IGGM! There are always sufficient and real products waiting for you here, and the customer service is also real 24h online, and there is no such outrageous phenomenon as linking to other websites.

In addition, during the transaction, IGGM will only ask you to provide the basic information necessary for the transaction, without involving other privacy, and provide a rich and reliable payment method for your payment.

If there is a problem with the transaction and you cannot receive the goods, we will also initiate a refund for you as soon as possible after you communicate with the customer service staff to ensure the safety of your property.

Why Did MMOWOW Copy IGGM?

Among all the shopping websites on the market, IGGM is the best! The products and after-sales service it provides are reliable, which is why many players are willing to choose it directly.

And MMOWOW is utilizing this trust from players. By copying IGGM’s web design and service methods, you mistakenly believe that it has a relationship with IGGM, inducing you to consume here, and then further damage IGGM’s image through fake products and customer service.

Even if MMOWOW is not entirely a scam, this business method that harms others and does not benefit oneself is destined to be short-lived. Neither consumers nor other peers are fools. They may be deceived by MMOWOW for a while, but after discovering the truth, they will immediately spit on this shameless scam website.

Based on this, I believe you should have discovered that trading on IGGM is a truly reliable choice! Enough repeat customers and reliable services will prove it to you!

Version 5.6 is currently halfway through, and Version 5.7 will be released on June 18. There are also a lot of leaks about Genshin Impact Version 5.7, and we have sorted them out.

Banners

Phase 1

First of all, there is Skirk, who has been waiting for a long time. I believe that many players have prepared Crystal from Genshin Impact Top Up just to wait for Skirk to go online. She is Tartaglia’s teacher. We briefly met her on the Fontaine Archon mission.

It should have left a deep impression on many players. At present, it seems that Skirk should be a Cryo Sword character. She will not rely on Elemental Energy, but will consume something called Serpent’s Subtlety. We don’t know what this is for the time being, and the character demonstration later should tell us.

Another 5-star character is Emilie. She is not very popular, and it is a bit unexpected to rerun at this time.

In addition to the 5-star character, there is also a new 4-star character that is very popular. He is Dahlia, a Hydro Sword user. Obviously, he can team up with Skirk.

Phase 2

There are two rerun characters in Phase 2, but both of them are very popular. They are Mavuika and Shenhe. Mavuika is a character that appeared not long ago. If you missed it, the upcoming Version 5.7 may be the best time to get her.

Shenhe has an excellent appearance design. Although her combat ability is weak, she has left a deep impression on players because of her story in Liyue, so many people are still waiting for her rerun.

Main Event

According to the information we can know now, we know that the main event in Version 5.7 is Battle of Imagined Arrays, and the new 4-star character Sethos will be given away for free.

This event is based on challenges and looks very similar to Misty Dungeon.

New Combat Modes

In Version 5.7, you can see Dainsleif again and complete his related quests. The last time you saw him in the game was a long time ago. I hope that in the quests of Version 5.7, players can learn more about Dainsleif and the story of Khaenri’ah, the homeland of the traveler, and enrich the plot of the game.

The rewards for completing high difficulty levels may be weapon skins, which is shocking. After all, they don’t even have many character costumes, but they are preparing to release weapon skins directly in the event.

However, according to the current information, these weapon skins only cover the outer layer of the weapon with a layer of light effect, without completely changing the appearance, and don’t worry, this will not change the numerical effects of the weapon.

Dainsleif Quest

Can we see Dainsleif again in Version 5.7 and complete his related quests? The last time we saw him in the game was a long time ago. In the quests of Version 5.7, you may know more about Dainsleif’s story.

Other Activities

• Reminiscent Regimen will launch a new combination challenge
• Traveler’s Tales will launch a new character story
• Fearsome Ferocious Firepower is a small event that can get some rewards

Quality Of Life

In Version 5.7, Genshin Impact may also make a series of updates to the classification of items in the backpack, making it easier for players to find what they need.

In addition, a demonstration video of Talents has been added, so players can see the effect of each Talent more intuitively.

The above is the main content of Version 5.7. In addition, there are a series of other updates that make the game more convenient for players. You can pay attention to the version preview that will be released in the next few days.

Stardew Valley is a farm life simulation game. Players play a role in the game to cultivate agriculture and raise animals. They can also socialize and give Stardew Valley Items to townspeople to cultivate favorability. Subsequent version updates have added multiplayer games, allowing players to play with others.

Since its release in February 2016, the game has sold 41 million copies by December 2024 and has been well received by players. It is considered one of the best video games ever.

The developer of Stardew Valley was interviewed and said that Stardew Valley 2 might be made. This news made players excited and speculated about what the sequel to this classic work would include.

New Things

The biggest obstacle for Stardew Valley 2 may be its predecessor. As a highly praised game, if Stardew Valley 2 only reproduces Stardew Valley, for example, only adjusts layouts and NPCs, the game will not be interesting.

Therefore, Stardew Valley 2 must maintain a certain connection with the previous game while providing something new to make players feel novel, so that players can feel the difference between the two, rather than just seeing it as an update of Stardew Valley.

At the same time, if Stardew Valley 2 wants to succeed, it must have its own unique characteristics, but it must also maintain a certain connection with the previous game. If all the elements of the previous game are changed, it is better to make a new game.

New Game Direction

It is difficult to judge which direction Stardew Valley 2 will focus on. A bold guess is that it may become a survival game.

Players need to find ways to solve hunger, thirst and fatigue in an unfamiliar environment, so that the game may become more exciting and can be combined with the core farming.

Let players rethink how to choose crops to grow, no longer simply choose the most profitable crops, but choose products that can grow quickly, and change the characteristics of plants to give players more choices.

Another possibility is that Stardew Valley 2 will become more complex to slow down the game. If the game is complicated, it may face many problems, which means that players will spend more time playing boring games, which will reduce players’ willingness to play games. This may require satisfactory rewards to make players feel that their efforts are worthwhile.

Improvements

The biggest change in Stardew Valley 2 may be a more interesting combat system. It is no longer just a simple press of the attack key to defeat the enemy. There may be more weapon options, attack ranges and types, and there may be smoother combat animation effects.

Graphics Upgrade

The developers of Stardew Valley may adopt a bolder graphics defense for Stardew Valley 2, and will try to conceive a 2D game style in a 3D scene. If it works well, it may create miracles like My Time At Portia.

As a game worker, the developer of Stardew Valley independently developed Stardew Valley and has been updating it. He focuses on making games that make players happy, and considering the player base of Stardew Valley, he can still maintain confidence in Stardew Valley 2.

Final Fantasy XIV, the famous multiplayer online game, was not well received when it was released, but due to positive changes, it has now been launched on multiple platforms and has become a popular MMORPG game for many people.

The mobile version developed by China under its authorization is also about to enter the beta stage and will be launched in China.

At the end of last year, the mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV revealed a new trailer, and the trailer linked to its Chinese test registration website. According to the trailer and website information, players in China can participate in the mobile game test of Final Fantasy XIV. The last registration date is May 22, and the test date is expected to start on May 23.

Brand New Game

FFXIV’s mobile game is positioned more like a companion game, rather than a simple port.

When the trailer was released last year, it was considered an extension of Final Fantasy XIV, a game that is loved by players. The mobile game will reproduce classic scenes, including Ul’dah, Limsa Lominsa, and continue to the 2.55 patch content of PC version, recreating the classic chapters before and after the Seventh Umbral Era for players.

As a MMORPG game, the diversity of professions is also crucial. According to the existing information, we can see that the first version includes 9 classic classes such as Black Mage and Warrior, and in order to facilitate the operation of the mobile terminal, the number of skills has been reduced from 20 to 30 to 10.

Regarding the paid content of the game, the developer of FFXIV mobile game said that it will not adopt the card drawing mechanism. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, it will mainly focus on appearance, mounts, and battle passes, which can be obtained spending Final Fantasy XIV Gil. There will be no paid content related to combat power.

In order to ensure that the server can carry many players, this technical test will be launched soon, and some paid content will be opened in this test, but the archive will be deleted after the test.

But don’t worry, after the game is officially released, the equivalent game currency will be returned according to the recharge amount of the player during the test.

Difficulties Faced

Like other massively multiplayer online games, Final Fantasy XIV must display a lot of information on the screen at the same time, because PC has enough buttons to feedback this information. So it runs best on PC platform.

Console platforms such as Xbox and PlayStation need to integrate all this information into a way with fewer buttons and no mouse, which will cause a slight decline in the experience. It takes players some time to adapt.

Nowadays, developing a mobile version requires putting all inputs and information on a limited screen, while also being compatible with different mobile phone versions and having touch-screen functions. It is very difficult to balance its UI.

According to the trailer, we can see that it uses a streamlined user interface and streamlines the entire game buttons.

As a classic IP for many years, the development of the mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV is undoubtedly an innovation, and there are many difficulties. The development process may require a series of changes to the game. As a player of PC version of Final Fantasy XIV, you may need to try the mobile version to know whether it is suitable for you.

New World: Aeternum takes players to explore a thrilling world full of dangers, opportunities and challenges. Each player will become a castaway and start a new destiny on Supernatural island of Aeternum.

Overtaking your opponents to win in Monopoly Go Racers Event is the core of this mini-game. In the latest Racers Event, a new tool, Overload Booster, is introduced to allow players to use items to achieve a more favorable ranking. If used properly, this item will reshuffle the event leaderboard and players will have an extraordinary gaming experience.

For Monopoly Go Racers Event, it is mainly a team racing game. Players can get more generous rewards by forming a team and winning a higher ranking in the group. But to win the game, you must invite active friends to join your Monopoly Go Racers Event Slots for a better gaming experience.

Of course, if some players don't want to form a team, single-player games are also possible. Players don't have to worry, except for the lower level of the sticker packs that can be obtained, the rest of the tokens and shield skin rewards provided are the same. Let's take a closer look at the mechanism of Overload Booster and how to get more.

What Is Overload Booster?

In Monopoly Go Racers Event, Overload Booster is a flash booster that is designed to slow down the other team. When it is activated, the enemy team you choose will be selected, and their ability to score will be limited because their number of dice rolls will be reduced accordingly.

At this point, the opponent will score fewer points per round, weakening their momentum, making it much more difficult for them to participate in the game, and increasing the chances of winning the game.

Finally, the weakened team will see a progress bar showing how many points they need to get rid of the Overload Booster. This weakening effect will continue until the corresponding points are accumulated.

Players should note that this weakening effect will not only last until the end, but may continue to stack in the middle. At this time, if the team is already affected by the overload, then if it is stacked again, the time of the team's slowing effect will be extended.

The Best Time To Use Overload Booster

Once you get Overload Booster, it will automatically activate, and the player can choose the team they want to apply it to in the game. There are two ways to use it:

The first is when your team is behind, and it can help your team pull away and turn the tide.

The second is when your team is ahead, and if another team is approaching your team, using Overload Booster can create the points gap you need.

It should be noted that during the game, you need to coordinate the overload target with your team. This will ensure that it is more effective and more beneficial to the team. Proper use of Overload Booster will make you more confident to defeat your opponents in Racers Event and get the best sticker pack rewards. These rare Monopoly Go Stickers are the key to completing your sticker album!

Want To Get More Overload Booster?

During the game, whether in single-player mode or team mode, players need to roll the dice with Flag tokens and then complete a specified number of laps. Complete a lap to get a lap reward, and Overload Booster is distributed among these rewards. Therefore, if players want to get more Overload, they need to actively participate in the game.

Summary

Overload Booster is not only an interesting new feature in Racers Event, but also a crucial mechanism to help players win the game. Understanding Overload Booster helps players play and experience the game better, especially in team battles, which can help players get rewards and update rankings.

So, accumulate more Overload Booster, whether you want to show off to your friends or strive for a higher ranking, this is the most practical tool in Monopoly Go so far.

Finally, I wish all players a happy game and find their own destination.

Path of Exile 2 released patch 0.2.0g some time ago, which made a large-scale change to the loot drop rate that players had been complaining about. POE 2 has been loved by many players since its early access version was released on December 6 last year, and even changed some of the usual gameplay methods in ARPG.

In the current game world, POE 2 has many competitors in ARPG ranks, such as Diablo 4 and Elden Ring, so it is striving for innovation. The POE 2 0.2.0 patch and the latest Dawn of the Hunt league released at the beginning of last month are the best proof of its pursuit of development and innovation.

When the early access version of POE 2 was first released last year, it achieved great success and gained a large number of players, but gradually players began to express dissatisfaction.

Some players complained that the game was too difficult, and some players complained that their accounts were banned for no reason, but POE 2 did not actively solve these problems, which made the players’ negative emotions more serious.

When POE 2 released Dawn of the Hunt League, the players’ negative emotions reached a peak. They believed that this patch had hit and weakened most classes. These major changes broke the players’ perception that the inherent power in ARPG games would not change.

The patch 0.2.0g announced by POE 2 this time will make a large-scale upgrade to the loot system in the game. This patch was released on May 1st, and the drop probability of Rare Items and Currency will be increased. Now in POE 2, the bosses you challenge are guaranteed to give you some rare items, and the common items you could get before will no longer drop.

And this patch has made changes to Azmerian Wisps, so that Azmerian Wisps can have more abundant items to drop. At the same time, in order to satisfy more players, treasure chests, Strongboxes, and loot from Trials have been improved.

Impact On Players

The changes made to the game by these patches will have a huge impact on all combat experiences in the game, and players will also enjoy the game because Rare Items are easier to obtain.

Because these adjustments change the course of the game, POE 2 has also changed many key events in the game. Since the loot and currency drops of events such as Expeditions and Delirium have become easier, and the probability of Pinnacle bosses dropping Rare Items and POE 2 Currency has also been increased, the difficulty of the challenge will also be upgraded.

Before this, POE 2’s evaluation on Steam was basically “mostly negative”, and the score was not very high, so I have been looking forward to what kind of adjustments POE 2 will make, and the adjustments released in patch 0.2.0 are undoubtedly significant.

Since the release of the early access version of POE 2, it has gone through many twists and turns, but it is obvious that they are collecting player opinions and actively making changes. The negative reviews that POE 2 has received recently are not only from the game itself but also because of its disabled game sharing function on Xbox.

Because loot is the core of any action role-playing game, all POE 2’s update to patch 0.2.0 is designed to meet the needs of more players for loot, which may be a key step taken by game developers in the right direction towards long-term development. I hope this patch can make greater progress for POE 2 and bring a better gaming experience to gamers.

We’ve all seen the success and accolades that Animal Crossing New Horizons has achieved. Even five years after its release, the game is still selling well, and there are still a lot of players who are still collecting bells, building their own islands, and interacting with villagers.

But even after all this time, the game is still missing some of the things that players have been asking for. For example, furniture that collaborates with other themes under the developer's umbrella has been very popular with players in previous games in the series.

In Animal Crossing games in the series, collectibles, including NES, can be obtained from villagers or found in their hiding places.

Subsequent games were also well-received by players and paid tribute to classic theme characters many times. For example, some related-themed villagers appeared in 3DS Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Epona, Ganon and Medli are all from The Legend of Zelda, and much furniture and decorations with the theme appeared in New Leaf.

Many fans are confused as to why characters and items from other classic titles, which are so popular, don’t return to the game? From the comments of some game communities and forum players, it can be seen that many fans are eager for these well-loved characters and related Animal Crossing New Horizons Items to return in the game.

Not only that, but a recent post describing the lack of crossover characters in ACNH shows that fans have been asking where these popular characters are and why they are not in the game since day one. But this question has not been answered yet.

How Crossover Characters Appeared In New Leaf?

Some crossover themed characters and amiibo dolls have been added to the 3DS version of New Leaf, and we can add villagers by scanning amiibo dolls.

We can collect crossover characters from The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Sanrio, and even Seven-Eleven in Welcome Amiibo, which brings a great chance for the game to sell well.

Crossover Characters Are Unlikely To Return In New Horizons

Developers are constantly releasing new Amiibo figures to meet fan demand and expectations, but ACNH has inexplicably yet to release the crossover characters that fans are eager to see.

It's still difficult to get a license for a brand like Sanrio, but the developer owns its own characters, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get a license, and the developer can also sell more high-priced Legend of Zelda amiibo dolls to game fans.

From the current situation, it is unlikely that we will see these crossover characters return in New Horizons.

Although the new game of the game has not yet been announced, there are still many fans who are looking forward to hearing about its sequel. Its sequel is expected to be launched on the Switch 2 platform one after another.

If crossover characters returns with a new game, it will be unlikely to introduce a major update like Ganon in New Horizons.

This way, we can try to expect to see these favorite characters return in the next new game.

According to a Call of Duty Black Ops 6 industry insider, COD Black Ops 6 may be linked with Mission Impossible. Since its release in October 2024, the game has collaborated with many TV series, movies and other popular entertainment works in the past six months. For example, it has collaborated with Terminator, Squid Game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Jay and Silent Bob.

Although this gun-and-gun game is approaching the halfway point of its life cycle, there are still a lot of crossovers waiting for fans. However, many of the past collaborations have failed to gain the favor of fans. Due to some overpriced bundles and some activities without any characteristics, it seems that every crossover of the game has made fans dissatisfied.

In a recent collaboration with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, many players were angry that they had to spend nearly $100 to collect all four Turtle skins in the game or get Premium Event Pass for premium limited-time events with rich rewards. What’s more, many players think that these skins have no personalized designs but are still sold at high prices.

GhostOfHope, an insider who once accurately revealed some early news about COD BO6, now has new news that the game may cooperate with Mission Impossible. The insider posted a new post on his social media account with a picture of Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible, and accompanied it with the classic line of Mission Impossible, which seems to hint at a new collaboration.

Mission Impossible is an American action spy film directed by Christopher McQuarrie. The series has won many awards for its exciting and rich plots and superb performances by the actors, and has become popular all over the country, which may be one reason why the game cooperated with it.

With the long-awaited Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning coming soon, and CoD Black Ops 6 having collaborated with similar action series such as Die Hard and Rambo, it is not surprising that it will collaborate with Mission: Impossible this time.

Since the developer has not publicly verified the accuracy of the leak, the specific content and some details of this collaboration are still unknown. But if it is really the same as GhostOfHope’s re-exposure, then the collaboration of CoD Black Ops 6 is likely to be similar to the previous ones.

In general, the main event content is likely to be Premium Event Pass of advanced activities, and you can get some new skins, weapon blueprints and other themed decorations as rewards by upgrading. Usually, if you are a novice, you may encounter some problems when using these new weapons. It is recommended that you use CoD Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies to practice before actual combat, which can help you quickly master the use of weapons and familiarize yourself with new modes and maps.

According to reports, this collaboration may also introduce some iconic classic characters from the movie, such as Ethan Hunt, and some new merchandise packages. But in the end, we still have to rely on official news to determine these specific situations.

Call of Duty recently released content for Warzone. This update brings the return of Verdansk, which is a great surprise for Battle Royale fans. It is Warzone’s first Battle Royale map, and fans are full of praise for its wonderful visual effects and some returning game features.

COD Black Ops 6 Season 3 also introduced new multiplayer maps, modes, and some powerful weapons. The next collaboration also makes a lot of fans look forward to it.

At Nintendo's April 2 Direct, the official announcement of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition undoubtedly dropped a bombshell. This highly acclaimed game will be launched together with Hitman: World of Assassination, Borderlands 4, EA Sports FC 24 and new Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods.

But after the cheers, when I carefully examined the 45-second trailer, some details made me fall into deep thought and worry.

Performance Issues

In the trailer played at Nintendo's April 2 Direct, at 25th second, we can see that when the character summons Torrent in the shadow of a half-sunken castle, the camera zooms out to a panoramic composition of Erdtree and the moon. At this time, frame pacing drops sharply with the naked eye. Although FromSoftware cleverly concealed it with cinematic camera movements - such as the extensive use of slow-motion special effects and static environment displays - the lag in this only dynamic battle scene still caused concerns among hardcore players.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time FromSoftware has encountered performance controversy. The 30fps-locked problem of Bloodborne on PS4 is still its pain point. And Elden Ring's performance on More Powerful Consoles is also unsatisfactory. Frequent loading delays, frame rate fluctuations during battles and other problems have also troubled players for a long time.

It can be seen that this game has extremely high resource requirements, no matter from which aspect. Players need to accumulate Elden Ring Runes in the game; outside the game, players need to pursue more powerful gaming equipment.

But for soul games known for their high-difficulty action systems, such performance inevitably makes people worry about the smoothness of actual battle scenes.

After all, compared with other games of the same type, Elden Ring tests players' reaction speed and operation ability more. If the performance issues exposed on Switch 2 are not optimized, the already frustrating boss battles may become even more annoying.

Switch 2 Parameters

According to the leaked hardware parameters, the performance of Switch 2 seems to be far lower than that of PS5 and Xbox Series X. This performance gap is particularly fatal when rendering the open world of Elden Ring.

• Dynamic Global Illumination: The day and night cycle and weather system in the game require extremely high real-time lighting calculations.
• Game VFX: Many moves in the game have special effects, but this is too demanding for Switch 2 to achieve.
• Vegetation & Terrain Loading: When riding a horse across the grassland, the scene switching is even more of a test. To achieve smooth switching, the memory requirements must not be low.

At present, Shadow of the Erdtree has not been confirmed to land on Switch 2. But this is also a question worth pondering - if it is updated simultaneously, it may further overwhelm the hardware.

It is undeniable that the portability of Switch 2 has injected a unique charm into Elden Ring - who doesn't want to play a game anytime, anywhere? But the control adaptation of handheld mode may become a new pain point:

• Button Layout: The compact design of Joy-Con is not conducive to players using overly complex combat commands. This will make the battle more difficult.
• Screen Size: As a handheld, the screen size of Switch 2 must not be too large, but it is also difficult to present some details.
• Battery Life: Taking Switch version of The Witcher 3 as an example, we can know that its battery life may not even exceed 2.5 hours under high-load scenarios.

Nevertheless, FromSoftware may be able to resolve the dilemma through innovative interactions. The configuration of Switch 2 is inferior to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in almost all aspects. This is expected, and it is not a bad thing - after all, Switch 2 is a handheld game console, and its performance is comparable to that of the same level of consoles.

And it is too early to deny it now. The first trailer was a bit rough, but FromSoft has plenty of time to improve its performance. Players can also enjoy smooth gameplay by lowering its graphical settings.

Although the game presentation effect of Switch 2 may not be as good as other devices, fortunately, Souls game community has always been more tolerant of frame rates. As long as there is no slow motion in combat, the handheld version is completely acceptable. After all, before this, no one thought that they could have the opportunity to fight bosses in bed or even on the toilet.
