Dune Awakening drops mandatory PvP as 80% skip it, private servers on the way

Dune: Awakening is removing PvP as a mandatory endgame, deleting PvP zones in Hagga Basin and offering a PvP-free Deep Desert as an alternative; a separate PvP-enabled Deep Desert with a 2.5x resource multiplier remains for those who crave combat. The studio notes that about 80% of lifetime players never engaged with PvP, and private server hosting will be tested soon with customizable PvP options, altered harvesting rates, and potential character transfers to support long-term community play.

Cinderace PvP: Community Day Boosts Fall Short of Meta

Cinderace PvP: Community Day Boosts Fall Short of Meta

Community Day gave Cinderace two new Fire-type moves (Pyro Ball and Blast Burn) and boosted its numbers, but the Pokémon remains on the fringe in Great League and largely DOA in Ultra League due to poor bulk and limited coverage (only Focus Blast as a non-Fire option). The analysis highlights that while the new moves are an improvement over Flamethrower/Flame Charge, they don’t fix its core weaknesses, and even with Ember as a potential fast move in the future, Cinderace isn’t on track to become a meta option unless further balance changes arrive.

OCTOPinbs pits firefighters against arsonists in a 3–10 player PC social-deduction showdown

Aniplex, tri-Ace, and Lasengle revealed OCTOPinbs, a PvP social-deduction game for 3–10 players where firefighters (octopuses) extinguish flames while artists (squid) spread them. Players win by meeting victory conditions such as zero stage incineration or stuffing artists into Octojars. The game launches for PC via Steam this spring with multiple language support.

Bungie Outlines Marathon UI Fixes and PvP Tweaks

Bungie published a server-slam feedback sheet for Marathon, listing six core issues—UI complexity, PC performance, PvP frequency, movement and heat generation, med and ammo economy, and error codes—and committing to ongoing iteration post-launch, noting that early maps were boosted for more player density to encourage combat. With the server slam wrapping up soon, the full game launches on March 5.

Flamigo’s PvP Debut: Speed, Power, and the Moveset Makeover

Flamigo arrives as the top new Flying/Fighting in Pokemon Go PvP, delivering a fast 4.0 energy-per-turn Double Kick and the improved Upper Hand move (no drawback, with a 30% defense debuff) to fuel Brave Bird and strong 1v1/2v2 play in Great League and Ultra League. While not as bulky as Hawlucha or Galarian Zapdos, its energy-generating edge and versatile moveset create competitive pressure against key metas, including Gourgeist, Marowak, Sableye, and Talonflame. It’s not earth-shattering, but Flamigo looks like a positive, potentially meta-shaping addition to the PvP scene.

Flamigo's Meta Edge: A Spice Pick Worth the Grind

Flamigo's Meta Edge: A Spice Pick Worth the Grind

Flamigo, a Gen 9 Flying/Fighting Pokémon, is analyzed for Pokémon GO's current metagame. In PvE raids it underperforms compared with top Flying and Fighting attackers, while in PvP it offers spice via Double Kick, Upper Hand, and Brave Bird that can counter some meta threats, making it a potential anti-meta pick in Great League, but it's still outclassed in Ultra and Master Leagues. Grinding Flamigo may be worth mainly for an event Stardust bonus and for potential niche PvP uses; there is no signature move, only a Costar ability, and no guaranteed meta breakthrough. Bottom line: not a go-to raid pick, but a fun, spicy option for specialists and theme cups.

Wildlight’s Highguard aims to outpace Overwatch with 3v3 PvP and cosmetics-only monetization

Wildlight’s debut game Highguard is a 3v3 PvP siege shooter launching Jan 26, 2026 across PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 with cross-play. The team emphasizes differences from Overwatch and Concord, offering a free-to-play, cosmetics-only monetization model (no RNG or pay-to-win) and an episodic content plan through 2026. At launch it includes five maps, six bases, eight Wardens, three mounts, ten weapons and a suite of raid tools, all developed by a ~100-person team that aims for long-term engagement rather than a quick exit.

Pokémon GO Harvest Festival: New Pokémon, Tasks, and Bonuses

Hydrapple, a new Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO, has decent stats but struggles in PvP across all leagues, performing better in Master League due to its high CP but still lacking competitive viability. Its move pool favors Dragon Tail with Outrage for damage, but overall, it doesn't outperform existing Grass Dragons like Flapple or Alolan Exeggutor, and its meta potential appears limited without new signature moves or fast moves. The Pokémon's resistances and weaknesses further hinder its effectiveness in battles.
