The Daily Grind: Do you appreciate a long maintenance...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/04/03

A few weeks back, New World tweeted something small about a maintenance patch, but the social media replies were waaaaaay out of pocket. Granted, Twitter is obviously the bad place, but still, I was shocked to see how many people were heckling the maintenance mode staff and demanding that the game just shut down now […]

2026/04/02

A new frame has joined Warframe’s roster, and Massively OP’s MJ is looking forward to having some fun with her. Follie is quite an interesting new character — she even comes with a balloon! A confetti-filled balloon, at that. MJ may even get around to delving into Shadowgrapher, but we all know how distracted she […]

2026/04/02

This past week, games industry royalty Brenda and John Romero spoke to GIbiz in an interview that honestly set my heart pounding – and not in a good way. “I feel like the industry’s in a really horrible place,” Brenda Romero said as the duo spoke about the industry’s total lack of funding, the dismal […]

Well, friends, you’d get Drawn to Drift, a new multiplayer racer from solo dev FrogForgeGames that lets players fling their cute little spaceship through obstacle courses that […]

2026/04/02

Just when you thought it was safe to hippity-hop your way around Trove, in come prehistoric bunnies across the world. And they don’t belong there. Yes, it might seem odd to imagine that Trove doesn’t have dozens of prehistoric rabbits, but no, cave-rabbits beating your stuffing out are not supposed to be there. It’s time for Bunfest […]

As promised, Elder Scrolls Online has officially kicked off the first – er, zero-eth – of its formal and free seasons today on all platforms. Season Zero, dubbed Dawn and Dusk, is headlined by the new limited-time Night Market zone – but it isn’t actually launching until later. In fact, this might just be one […]

2026/04/02

Yes, this week in Black Desert is once again chock-full of… different things, we’ll say. Sometimes that’s how the three versions of this sandbox MMORPG operates; you can either see some updates that try to bring things on par with the PC version, or you get fruited pound cake releases across the board. We’ll start with Black Desert […]

2026/04/02

MMORPG sandbox BitCraft Online has rolled out yet another early access patch this week with a hodge podge of tweaks. It’s called Roots and Ruins, a reference to the new profession dungeons available to carpenters and masons, who can now gather hexite-infused roots for timber and repair archways from slabs, respectively. Notably, Clockwork Labs also […]

How can chaos be organized? Well, if you’ve ever seen some people’s work desks, you can appreciate how an absolute mess to some is easy to comprehend for others (Right Bree?). In the case of Old School RuneScape, organized chaos is the name for a new type of monthly livestream event. In summary, these streams will primarily […]

When EverQuest Legends was announced earlier this week, fans were talking about… well, a lot of other stuff, but there were also some regular questions that were raised among the lot. As such, Game Jawn has assembled an FAQ in Discord to provide a bit more granular detail about what to expect when the new-old MMORPG launches […]

2026/03/28

Yes, we also forgot entirely about Elder Scrolls: Blades, the multiplayer mobile and Nintendo Switch dungeon crawler that started life back in 2019, pushed through a rocky early access period, and eventually went on to appear to right some of its initial wrongs and establish some small playerbase. The game was even marking a fourth anniversary […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/28

When a game’s version number is 0.01, you can pretty much expect that it’s very, very, very early in development, which would explain why there are some extremely basic and expected features in the latest patch update for the indie MMORPG Hollowed Oath. It’s still coming together, y’all. “We’ve made progress across almost every area of development as […]

2026/03/28

Trilogies are incredibly difficult to pull off, even if you have a plan and vision ahead of time. It’s a big gamble to put so much story into an overarching trifold narrative. If you do it right, it’s amazing and cements your project as legendary in the sight of fans (The Lord of the Rings […]

It’s been a long wait and an even longer development road to get to this point, but at last the RvR sandbox MMORPG Camelot Unchained is now ready to start its early access release journey as of last night.

Nobody likes it when an online game that they’ve enjoyed for years heads into a shutdown. We speed-run the stages of grief while trying to figure out how to best use those last days. Maybe you just play as usual, or perhaps you work your way through a bucket list, or maybe you partied with […]

This is not a drill, folks; Eternal Tombs is doing a closed beta test this weekend. I don’t know why we would have a drill for that, but even if we did, this isn’t one. There have been so many months of upgrades along the way, we absolutely promise that this time the tombs are very eternal. […]
