2025/10/10

It’s probably not a big surprise that the next season in Overwatch 2 is going all-in on the Halloween thematics, given that it’s arriving on Tuesday, October 14th. But then that also does mean that the shooter will be marking the festivities of fright in its own way, both in expected and new forms, as […]

2025/10/10

We sincerely hope that you did not have a lot of emotional investment staked in the early access Hyper Light Breaker because as of this week, the online co-op sci-fi RPG is at least partly throwing in the towel.

2025/10/10

Over the course of this past summer and into September, Jagex has taken steps to address its self-described overbearing monetization problem by running what it calls “MTX experiments” in RuneScape. These temporary tests ran versions of the MMORPG with adjustments like removed lockboxes, removed cosmetics, and directly buyable older items. Now the experimentation is over, […]

2025/10/10

I do always wonder about the crossover appeal that major shooters have for MMORPG players, but in case you’re into the epic shootymans adventures, know that Battlefield 6 has officially arrived. “The year is 2027, and the world is on the edge of chaos,” Electronic Arts’ press release says without a shred of introspection. “The […]

2025/10/10

A part of me feels bad that I’m not more invested in the next couple updates on deck for Warframe. Not that I need to be; of course I will be playing through the content added with them, just as I did with Isleweaver (which I did think was pretty thin). I’m just not really excited […]

2025/10/10

There’s much ado about timers in the latest update in Final Fantasy XI, starting with changes to timer resets for Coalition Assignment imprimaturs to only 180 minutes and Limbus chests remaining available for four weeks instead of just one. In addition, the amount of points players can carry over between login events is being reduced to […]

Do you hear the cackle of a witch in the woods? Do you sense the disquieting presents of a ghoul in the closet behind you? Do you feel that you’re never too old to dress up in a costume and demand treats from strangers? Then it’s time to pull out your best glamour and partake […]

2025/10/10

There are plenty of MMORPGs out there, but few can match Wizard101 in being a fun all-ages romp of a thing… which is why it’s a good thing to note that at long last, the title is available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Now younger players (and older players who like a touch of whimsy to […]

There’s more coming to the next World of Warcraft patch than just early access for housing, but you can be forgiven if your main focus is on housing.

This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired directly by something MOP reader Zulika said last month in comments about Smed’s new MMOFPS. “More and more I am just glad past me was around to experience MMOs starting in 2000.” OK, obviously Zulika was throwing deserved shade on some of 2025’s excesses, but let’s talk about more […]
