World of Warcraft's Season of Discovery has entered its third phase, bringing significant changes to the Sunken Temple raid, including adjustments to boss and trash health pools.

In a post-apocalyptic world, a raider named Steve shares his experience using his Cybertruck for wasteland raiding. The bulletproof-ish and solar-powered truck provides him with a sense of protection and a range of 20 miles. Steve appreciates the silence of the electric motors for stealthy approaches, although he refuses to collaborate with others. Despite some limitations, the Cybertruck has been a valuable asset for Steve's raiding activities, until he realizes he's trapped inside the truck's bed and reluctantly considers asking for help.
Thunder Lotus Games, the developer of Spiritfarer, has announced their next project, 33 Immortals, a co-op raiding game that allows 33 players to band together in top-down action. The game is set to release on Xbox and PC in 2024 and features matchmaking that's easy to jump into. The debut trailer showed a huge team facing off against massive waves of enemies and giant bosses.
Reports of Pokémon GO's monthly earnings being at a five-year low are "incorrect," according to developer Niantic. The company stated that its revenue is up on the same period from last year, and that the recent Raid changes have resulted in increased in-person raiding. The drop in revenue may be due in part to the negative reception to Niantic's decision to increase the price of Remote Raid Passes, which came into effect at the start of April 2023.
Pokemon Go raid participation has reportedly seen a massive drop following the Remote Raid Pass nerfs, according to backend statistics of a popular raid simulator and ranking fan website, Pokebattler.com. From April 6 to April 28, user traffic for the website and app went down a staggering 54.75 percent. Before the Raid Pass changes in March, the site apparently averaged around 200,000 visitors a month, spiking for a total of nearly 800,000 during big raid events.
Meet Your Maker is a new game from Behaviour Interactive, the creators of Dead by Daylight, that allows players to create their own murder mazes in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The game features two distinct gameplay phases that interact with each other asynchronously, where players build up an Outpost to protect the extraction site and equip it with deadly traps and lethal guards, and then break into other people's bases to steal their GenMat. The Outpost content is all user-generated, and the game provides simple, easy-to-learn tools for level creation. The game also features a three-month post-launch roadmap for content, making it a perfect lunch break game.
Meet Your Maker is a sci-fi action game that allows players to build trap-laden Outposts for others to raid for resources. While the game's core premise is strong, its aesthetic and samey levels currently don't live up to that vision. Raiding Outposts can quickly become tedious, although building your own stages for others to try is more fulfilling. The true test of any game designed around user-generated content is what the users generate, and we'll have to see how it fares on live servers before we deliver a full verdict.
