While Papaya Play’s version of Tree of Savior will close in a few weeks, the IMCGames version is still active, and in fact latter is addressing a critical shard shortage. Sometimes your group will get together and no one has brought any shards. You’ll be standing around saying, “I wish I had shards,” but no […]

2026/06/05

MapleStory’s global version has spent some time talking up its next major content update beforehand, but now it’s doing it a third time with its own bespoke lander site. It’s kind of like patch notes with more production value, really. We’ll take it. The Ride the Lightning update (yeah-yeaah) begins its deployment on Wednesday, June 17th, […]

Who’s ready for a Cryptic MMO round-up? Let’s kick off this hootenanny in Champions Online, where a pair of events are running in June: the Nightmare Invasion (with new rewards) and a smaller Qliphothic Bonus Event.

2026/06/05

You may have already noticed that the look and feel of the Steam store home page is a bit different than you remember, but just in case you weren’t paying attention, Valve has indeed called attention to a new and “refreshed” digital shopping experience. Now you can enjoy new features when shopping for a title you’re […]

The Stream Team: Returning to Eterspire for its full...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

MOP’s Chris has been summoned back to the OPTV saddle today for one reason and one reason only: Because the cutesy MMORPG Eterspire is officially making its release from Steam early access, and that’s as good a reason as any for him to come back and see what’s new! Plus, Stonehollow Workshop has given him codes […]

MMOs You’ve Never Heard Of: Farm RPG, Heartwood...

2026/06/05

I’m legit excited to be returning to MMOs (and MMO-adjacent games) You’ve Never Heard Of today, and it’s not just because it clears out our newsroom faster, although that is also true. Today, it’s because the games look cool. And in one case, the reason you’ve never heard of it is that it’s new! Farm […]

Warframe of Mind: The big guide to picking a frame –...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

So in the last entry in this Warframe frame guide series, I expressed joy that we had reached a point where all of our frames were at least reasonably good. This time, sadly, we are in misery. I’m not going to bury the lede here: Even though I quite like two of these frames, none […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

It’s Pride month, and that means those of us in the Alphabet Gang are suddenly marketable again! Facetiousness aside, it’s a time when lots of MMOs, MMORPGs, and multiplayer titles highlight and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community within their playerbases, so obviously we’re going to raise a glass and raise awareness. Wizard101 and Pirate101 have both […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

I should have had this piece done sooner. I was granted access to Skate’s current season ahead of its release by Electronic Arts and Full Circle in a press build, but all that was available was the new indoor skate park and a look at the battle pass. Not really much to write about, if I’m honest. […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

How many Vengeance PvP tests has ZeniMax Online Studios run for Elder Scrolls Online now? We think it’s coming close to four now, which would make next week’s test number five… but also the last, and it’s not really a test anymore because it’s joining the game as a permanent mode, finally, with the launch of […]

Casually Classic: Five MMOs other than WoW Classic...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

What is it about WoW Classic that hits the spot for some players – including me? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer, mostly because I think that a lot of it comes down to nebulous feelings rather than hard, data-driven facts. There’s something about the feel of this legacy MMO that strongly resonates in […]

As we noted last night, Eterspire – the cozy indie crossplatform MMO from Argentine dev studio Stonehollow Workshop – officially surprise-launched out of early access. In celebration of the launch, Stonehollow has kindly granted us codes for the Eterspire Infinite to raffle to our readers! Eterspire is a free-to-play game with no sub; instead, it […]

2026/06/05

It’s the last stop for Destiny 2, and that means that Moment of Triumph is all about cleaning up lingering elements for players. Have you found yourself wishing that all of the subclasses had the same number of aspects? The patch brings three new aspects to reach exactly that parity, with new abilities for all of […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/05

At the risk of repeating ourselves a bit here, but we must once again reaffirm that the megacorp is doing something with its Lord of the Rings license; we just don’t know what. Amazon continues to be frustratingly vague when asked directly. Perhaps it doesn’t entirely know what either. This new word of A Thing […]

2026/06/05

While we’re not yet into the summertime’s bigger video games trailer flood, we are getting a bunch of smaller ones from indie outfits beforehand. For instance, the cozy solarpunk MMO Loftia used the Women-Led Games showcase event as a stage to debut a new gameplay trailer all about adventures. “If you weren’t able to try Adventures during […]

2026/06/05

So I’m going to be real with y’all, I am very hype about Stars Reach hitting early access. I understand and acknowledge the people who have been playing the game and saying “this is not ready for prime time” and I believe them, but at the same time I am also excited to play it and see […]

It’s time to start another Dungeons & Dragons Online quest arc: Keep on the Borderlands. And while it has many quests, many of them are shorter, allowing Massively OP’s MJ to finish up to three in a single go. Tonight kicks the saga off with MJ and her team clearing out an alliance of bugbears, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/04

In the wake of Destiny 2’s imminent collapse, MOP’s Chris and I were musing on which games would benefit most from the exodus of players who will eventually leave when given no fresh content or even seasons on a loop (a bizarre choice, but Sony clearly enjoys leaving money on the table or we wouldn’t […]
