With server merges looming next week for players of Aion Classic EU, Gameforge is taking the opportunity to dish out freebies and benefits to players.

Marvel Rivals is bringing Season 2 with Krakoa, Emma...

2025/04/04

In many games, when a character shows up being overtly sexualized, you can possibly get annoyed if it’s wildly out of character. But if you know anything about Emma Frost’s past, she’s arguably being toned down a bit for her appearance in Marvel Rivals as a new Vanguard in Season 2. Her appearance also makes sense […]

2025/04/04

Sometimes there are reasons why OPTV focuses on a game. Maybe it’s the “it” title for our streamers. Maybe it’s gotten a big update. Or maybe it’s just recently come out and so we decide to highlight it. For MOP’s Chris, today’s stream of City of Heroes is purely because he just feels like playing! […]

2025/04/04

It has been about six months since Bungie said anything about Marathon, the extraction shooter version of what is otherwise a series of single-player FPS games that have nothing to do with extraction. As a review: The game was first announced back in May 2023, followed by the studio trying to stir up hype via […]

2025/04/04

We’ve been informed by reliable sources that these days eggs are a big deal, which makes it an even bigger deal that Final Fantasy XIV is using our strategic egg reserve for parasols. Will egg even keep you that dry? It is apparently a very large egg, so that helps. Of course, all this talk of […]

It’s patch day for Path of Exile 2 fans as the early access multiplayer OARPG is officially launching Dawn of the Hunt today – a release so powerful it actually caused another game to change its own launch plans. As MOP’s MJ outlined back in March, Dawn of the Hunt adds the Huntress and her […]

Every year, Justin and I write all of our End-of-Year Eleven posts, and every year one of those is for the healthiest games going into the next year. This past year, it was Justin’s turn.

If you’re looking to enjoy an aural trip down memory lane while playing Dune: Awakening, then Funcom has you covered thanks to an in-game radio that will feature classic Dune game tunes.

2025/04/04

This week, The First Descendant has released a hotfix with sweeping character tuning changes to attempt to begin addressing the severe balance issues that have dogged Nexon’s looter shooter through much of its short life. Firstly, after months of dominating the meta in most areas of the game, Ines has been nerfed. Alongside smaller tuning […]

You’ve had one EverQuest producer’s letter, yes, but what about second EverQuest producer’s letter?

The perpetually underrated and overlooked MMORPG sandbox Trove has a patch on deck and a new community letter out from Gamigo this week, so heads-up to all the blocky voxelbox fans out there. The letter dives deeply into two topics: performance and features. Gamigo says they’re linked and that it has diverted a “considerable portion” […]

2025/04/04

We probably should’ve seen this coming after Lost Skies launched its island creator demo, but now it’s official: Worlds Adrift studio Bossa Games is launching Lost Skies itself into early access later this month on April 18th. It’s a little bit more of a multiplayer survivalbox than Worlds Adrift was, though, and it has much […]

2025/04/04

Last year, in response to a Daily Grind question about MMO new-content traditions, an MOP reader named Kelly said her tradition was to do “blind runs of all the new content” – meaning no guides and no advice. It caught my attention! I’ve never really gone out of my way to do that. Really, all […]

2025/04/03

There’s a brand-new free adventure that just dropped in DDO, and it involves a horde of dinosaurs. Yup, sounds right up Massively OP’s MJ’s alley.

2025/04/03

Last week, MOP’s Chris and I were discussing his husband’s obsession with Sea of Thieves; he runs with a set crew that generally leaves people alone until provoked.
