2025/10/31

You would be forgiven for believing that those three headline pieces are entirely disparate things, but you’d be wrong: They’re some of the tentpole features for Once Human’s latest content patch, which adds all of those things and a few other updates and adjustments on top. We’ll start with the first one on the list, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/10/31

The use of the term “artisan town” by the sandbox MMORPG BitCraft isn’t to suggest that players can create some bougie area where people pay exorbitant prices for dinner rolls because the package has the word “artisanal” written on it. An artisan town in the context of the game is a specialized outpost or a […]

2025/10/31

If the word “cozy” and some nice pixel art serves as a siren’s song to you – and we have to be honest, it often does to us – you will want to turn your eyes to Arcany, a new game that’s being developed by a husband-and-wife development team. The game started existence three years ago […]

2025/10/31

If you were disappointed by Pokemon Go’s events last month, this month is sadly not looking much better, unless you want more reasons to stay in and play Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Admittedly, this may be due to this month’s Wild Area event, which we may cover more in depth later, but the first one felt more […]

2025/10/31

When last we checked in on Chronicles of Elyria – the Soulbound Studios MMORPG that took in over $14,000,000 in crowdfunds, failed to deliver, and was unsuccessfully sued by its own backers – was supposedly back in development again. Almost a year ago, the lead dev, Jeromy Walsh told fans that he was still working […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/10/31

Funcom has apparently picked Halloween day to unleashed its October dev blog for Dune Awakening, now that everyone is too busy talking about Amazon’s implosion to remember Funcom just had mass-layoffs of its own. In our estimation, the big news here is character transfers and server merges, which look to be en route in the […]

Warframe’s Starfinder module, Operation Orias, is out...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/10/31

Players who have been in Warframe for a while probably know what to expect from an operation. A whole lot of grinding a mission for rewards, to be direct. But Operation Orias isn’t about that; it’s a new adventure crossing over Starfinder 2nd Edition with Warframe to let players at the tabletop take a jaunt through the […]

Vague Patch Notes: Why Amazon killed New World when...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/10/31

Amazon deciding to toss New World into maintenance mode is not really what I would call a tragedy. It’s a shame and something that didn’t need to happen, though, and I think at least one of the most interesting elements to come out of this is a discussion that was started in our comments about why […]

2025/10/31

We here at MassivelyOP are rooting for The First Descendant to get a real date and channel its obvious pent-up passion into a glorious romance for the ages. But we’ll also settle for a date for the risqué MMO shooter’s next content update, which is coming next week on November 5th with a whole lot […]

2025/10/31

The next patch for Final Fantasy XIV already has a date and a name. Patch 7.4, Into the Mist, is releasing on December 16th, and it will bring some pretty big changes to the game. Not just the continuing Main Scenario along with a new dungeon, the next tier of the Arcadion, and a new trial […]

2025/10/31

You won’t have to wait until World of Warcraft’s November 11th beta test to get another look at player housing — if you move quickly. Through the end of today, Blizzard is running another housing test on the PTR with the focus on guild neighborhood. “Please work together and create guilds large and small to […]

2025/10/31

Well, Amazon said no new content, but the devs would’ve been working on enhancements to Nightfall before they were fired, and now we have New World’s latest update today, painful as it feels. “There are major content updates to Reekwater including fixes to the Siren’s Call encounter mechanics, barrel explosion systems, and overall territory stability […]

2025/10/31

Back in October, there was a particularly provocative thread on the MMORPG subreddit. I know, that’s just a day that ends in Y. And it was apparently bad enough that the mods deleted it, so I know I wasn’t alone in taking notice. Essentially, the poster argued that “the sudden surge in activity about New […]

2025/10/31

Just because the world ends doesn’t mean you get to slack off and eat Twinkies the rest of your existence. There’s a world to be rebuilt… whenever you get the time. This laid-back approach is what new idle mobile post-apocalyptic game Afterglow adopts, saying that it’s the the “MMORPG for busy people.” Developer Shadow Council […]

2025/10/30

Earlier this week, we covered the Ship of Heroes patch and its revived Halloween event. Now, Heroic Games has gone more in-depth on what it entails – including a sale. Let’s start with that. “The post-launch 30 day price freeze window imposed by Steam has ended,” the studio says in its letter to fans. “So, […]

2025/10/30

There’s something to be said for having something big and powerful in your armored war machine, but there are other times when speed and agility can be just as effective of a strategy and playstyle. If you’re the kind of person who’s more into the fast-moving vehicles of War Thunder, then you’ll be pleased to […]

2025/10/30

No matter how early your access, no matter how small your playerbase, your online game must sport a Halloween event. It’s obligatory. Fellowship understands this, which is why the game’s first-ever Halloween event, the Haunting of Stronghold, arrives now and will stick around until November 13th. Which is a fair bit past the actual Halloween, sure, […]
