2026/03/20

For as long as pen-and-paper RPGs have been a thing, so too has the tavern been the popular meetup spot for adventurers to swap stories and go out on epic quests.

2026/03/20

This week, we’ve been covering the ongoing lawsuit chaos between Krafton and the Subnautica 2 execs it fired in 2025. The vice chancellor in the case has essentially ruled so far on some key points: Specifically, she found that Krafton had ousted the Unknown Worlds execs to avoid fulfilling contractual payouts (and in fact used […]

It’s time once again for Star Citizen to discuss alpha 4.7, this time through the latest Inside Star Citizen video, which provides a mostly comprehensive overview of what the update is introducing sometime next week.

Steel yourself for all the acronyms with this story, because PvPvE extraction FPS RPG Marathon unlocked its first endgame zone after the community sorted through a special ARG (alternate reality game) to discover what it was. “After poring over terminals, chasing coordinates, and collectively working through Marathon’s latest ARG, the community have pried open the […]

The Daily Grind: What was the first MMO you ever got...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/20

Disillusion is pervasive in MMOs for me. I first experienced it in EverQuest. My guildies from Ultima Online were super hyped for EQ; the draw of a fully 3-D MMO was so overwhelming, and I got sucked into the dream of what it would be like to live in a world just like UO, but […]

Burn it with fire! Massively OP’s MJ wishes she had a nice big fireball to throw — not just because she is a pyro who loves fire but also because today she will be clearing out the spider cave she discovered in Project Gorgon.

Massively Overthinking: The nine games portrait of you

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/19

A few weeks back, there was a viral tier list-esque site called my9games.com going around Bluesky and probably elsewhere; the idea is that you use the site to display “the nine games that make me [you] who I am [you are]” and then, of course, share it on social media for maximum engagement or whatever.

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/19

The great thing about SMITE 2 is that there are a ton of mythologies to pull from, something the original game did to great effect. The down side, of course, is that there are a lot of different deities to bring into the new game. So the latest roadmap that traces through May 5th hopefully includes your […]

2026/03/19

Did you always imagine the ideal survival crafting game would involve cute animals that look a lot like Pokemon but are not Pokemon holding guns, including a very dopey looking dinosaur named “Relaxsaurus?” Did it also involve a lawsuit with Nintendo? It’s worth asking these questions about Palworld because John Buckley, the communications lead at Pocketpair, […]

The latest patch for MapleStory gives you two big options for play. On the one hand, you could play as Saitama from One Punch Man, the hero legendary for… you know… knocking out everything with one punch. That’s why the series is called that. The other option is to play as a Wild Hunter, which has […]

Entropia Universe, the sci-fi sandbox MMORPG that has mostly made headlines for the weird crap players have bought with real world cash and its chasing of buzzword tech trends, is making headlines again, only this time it’s for actual gameplay reasons for once. Specifically, the game is making a shift to Unreal Engine 5 and […]

If you have kids or interact with kids who game, you will probably come to realize pretty quickly that they are not impressed with video game graphics. My kids, for example, are obsessed with vibes, with hanging out with friends, with autonomy in their game worlds. They will play Terraria and Minecraft all day. They […]

Bohemia Interactive’s latest survival sandbox, Everwind, has officially kicked off its early access run this week, happily joining the growing ranks of multiplayer skyship RPGs.

It’s the dawn of a new season in Sea of Thieves today, and you can tell not just by the fact that the game’s login screen is different, but because there’s a bunch of cannons roaring out and about the gankbox. That’s because Season 19 is all about Fights & Festivals, quite literally, as that’s both […]

If you had told me back in 2019 – when Pearl Abyss first announced Crimson Desert as an MMO sequel to its massively popular MMORPG Black Desert – that it would take nearly seven more years to launch, I would not have believed you.
