Jump right into war as Warframe’s The Old Peace...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

With a title like The Old Peace, you might think Warframe’s next big update is lacking in the war department. It’s not: The fact that peace is old hints that it didn’t last. Something else is new. During a preview with Creative Director Rebb Ford and Director of Community and LiveOps Megan Everett, I got to […]

The Stream Team: Funky Black Friday in Fall Guys

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

Once upon a time, Black Friday was all about a mad rush and jostling through crowds to get the ultimate special deals. In the past Massively OP’s MJ barely participated on the fringe of such a tradition. Now, online shopping has eradicated any chance of her experiencing this. Or has it? Fall Guys reenacts the […]

2025/11/28

Even as one TennoCon ends, the hype for the next one begins. And Digital Extremes has just announced the date for next year’s event. In 2026, fans will gather together in London, Ontario, on July 10th and 11th to partake in much Warframe and Soulframe goodness. This includes TennoConcert the second! Tickets go on sale […]

ARC Raiders booby traps rooms to literally roast...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

As you might imagine, secret locked rooms stuffed with powerful and valuable loot in a PvP game is catnip to competitive players. This has become a problem in ARC Raiders, as certain elements of the community have used exploits to glitch their way past locked doors in order to grab their ill-gotten gains. That scenario […]

Final Fantasy XIV launches its special preview site...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

You’ve got about a week until the second preview of Final Fantasy XIV’s next major update hits with the next live letter from the producer, a little more than two weeks until the patch arrives, and no time at all to wait until the special preview site launches. Yes, the lore tidbits and first screenshots are […]

PvP MMORPG Gloria Victis is apparently coming back...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

We certainly didn’t have Gloria Victis coming back from the dead on our 2025 bingo cards, but then this has been a particularly wonky year in the genre and for the games industry. Yet here we are with word from the MMORPG’s Discord that a new publisher has been secured and a relaunch is imminent. […]

One of EVE Online’s major alliances has all but...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

It can easily be argued that one of the best parts of EVE Online isn’t in actually playing the game, but in watching the player-made drama that occurs among the space sandbox’s bigger alliances – it’s enough to fill two volumes, even. We have once again seen that reality play out, as one of the […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

As I write this, we have not yet seen the second developer stream from the Warframe team in which we are fed more details on the upcoming large patch, The Old Peace. But we also already know that it is not going to really look like something that I had originally expected it to be. I […]

Vague Patch Notes: Why do so many MMORPG metas skew...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

If I had a dollar for every time I have seen someone in our comments complain about how an MMORPG under discussion has a meta that is almost entirely tilted toward speed, I would have many additional dollars. It comes up a lot. Heck, it comes up a lot in columns, too. There is a […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

Dune Awakening players are getting a holiday weekend dose of information out of Funcom in the form of a new dev blog. First, the devs reiterate they are still working hard on letting players migrate their bases and characters over to new servers, but that yes, it is still delayed until the next update as previously […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

From the moment we heard of Light No Fire, the second project and an unambiguous survivalish MMORPG coming from studio Hello Games, we were all interested to hear what came next. Unfortunately, the title may as well have been “Reveal No News” given all of the nothing that has come out about the game since its […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

When my kids hit middle school, I was informed in no uncertain terms that they don’t have playdates. They arrange hangs. So today, I’m asking you to arrange a hang. Imagine all the NPCs in the MMORPGs you play. Which one would actually be fun be around, as opposed to just being a quest dispenser, […]

The Stream Team: Star Trek Online Zombies, Moopsy,...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

What’s more fitting for Thanksgiving than a feast? And what feasts better than Moopsy? Throw in some zombies and you have a very thematic holiday celebration in Star Trek Online. How could Massively OP’s MJ pass that up? She’s earned herself an adorable little Moopsy as well as an entourage of zombies to partake in […]

Whatever happened to early access PvPvE extraction...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

It’s been a hot few minutes since we checked in on Legacy: Steel & Sorcery, the early access PvPvE extraction RPG from developer Notorious Studios, an indie outfit made up of several ex-WoW devs. Readers might recall it started its early access run in February, and MOP’s own Sam found it to be a promising […]

Massively on the Go: Pokemon Go December 2025...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

As previewed thus far, Pokemon Go’s December 6th-7th Community Day roundup event is breaking a major tradition: The roundup is covering only 2025. That makes for a shorter target list, which we’ll get to below, but 2025 also wasn’t a great year for Community Day picks. New players may have gotten some short-term power, but […]

2025/11/27

One does not merely walk into Mordor… unless it’s in Lord of the Rings Online, in which case many ones merrily stroll into Mordor on a daily basis. And in fact, LOTRO community organizers are putting together “the Monumental March to Mordor” where a huge crowd will make the hike from the Shire to Mount […]

2025/11/27

It’s Thanksgiving night here in the United States where most of us are located (don’t worry, Tyler is welcome to some turkey too), and yes, that means we’re on the eve of award season and all the end-of-the-year chaos it entails. We’re going to kick off in a small and quiet way, however, with one […]

Enshrouded’s latest patch is a tall drink of water,...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

The most recent major patch for Enshrouded dared to ask “what if a survival sandbox were wet? Just, like, really damp?” The newest patch is going all in on that, so now you can expect more fluid flowing water. You can also find water draining away more slowly on many surfaces and carrying longer distances, which might […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

I’ll be very honest, nothing about the world of Guild Wars 2 feels like a world to me. It’s always appeared to be like a series of playmats stitched together to create a world map, both in terms of the literal map itself and the gameplay loops. Which is fine if you care to play […]

2025/11/27

For those of you not in the US, today is the holiday known as “Thursday.” For those of you in the US (which is a large chunk of our readership), it’s Thanksgiving, which means that it’s time to eat enough food to kill a small horse and then “leave room for dessert” before you do […]
