2025/03/28

There will be another internet spaceship option for players of Elite: Dangerous in a couple of weeks’ time. That’s because the Gutamaya Corsair, the multi-role craft that heads up the new arrivals for the space sandbox this year, has confirmed several important details during Frontier Developments’ monthly studio-wide livestream including when it will be first […]

2025/03/28

Pax Dei is doing some hardcore, take-no-prisoners self-reflection in its March development update letter. The studio recapped its journey through early access so far, saying that it’s had to make several “tough decisions” including delaying features but that the MMO’s core gameplay loop is now in place. However, if you’re a fan of this project, […]

2025/03/28

Backstabbing, stealth, tricks, and lightning-fast attacks that whittle an enemy down are the hallmarks of any good Rogue class, and Ashes of Creation isn’t about pass up on that kind of gameplay. In fact, the upcoming MMO has launched the Rogue archetype in its Alpha Two playtest and put out a video showcasing the class […]

It’s been a very long while, but the Battle Bards haven’t fully abandoned you — at least not without a goodbye! In the grand final episode of the show, Steff, Syl, and Syp gather together one last time to share memories of the show, the reason behind the decision to end it, and a few […]

2025/03/28

If you’re still playing Black Desert on a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One, you’ll soon have to shift over to the current crop of consoles because Pearl Abyss has confirmed it will be natively supporting Xbox X|S and PlayStation 5 starting on Thursday, June 26th, with plans to end support for previous gen consoles […]

2025/03/28

As much as I would like to be known as an absolute grinding machine when it comes to Warframe – and I absolutely can be, as evidenced by how much progress I made through the game when I decided to start playing seriously just back in December – I cannot say that I ground out […]

2025/03/28

If you’re a Pokemon Go player and haven’t looked at your account in a while, you might want to do so, as you might be a little bit richer in the game than you thought. Earlier this week, Pokemon Go players began reporting on Reddit that they’d noticed a huge influx of PokeCoins on their […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/28

Today marks another addition to the alpha build of Star Citizen, and if the game’s previous two vehicle showcases weren’t a big enough clue, alpha 4.1 is mostly about mining. Sort of. It’s actually a blending of mining, ship combat, and FPS gameplay. Just call it Orbital Assault for short. The primary addition with this […]

Craig Morrison’s ‘horse mystery’ MMORPG gets a new...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/28

We appreciate how Craig Morrison’s Horse Mystery MMO sounds a bit like a psychedelic prog rock group, but it’s not; it’s the elevator pitch for a new MMORPG being developed by Morrison’s NetEase-funded Blue Scarab studio that is looking to blend murder mystery, cozy MMO gaming, and horseback riding together. Up until now, all we […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/28

It hasn’t been a great couple of years for Ubisoft, what with things like Skull and Bones launching to rather middling reception or the long-in-development XDefiant kicking off and then promptly shutting down – never mind all the layoffs and delays and game preservation affronts and bungled attempts at NFT integration. And now, the long-summering rumor […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/28

I was hanging out in Lord of the Rings Online this past weekend and saw an interesting conversation: While some folks are lamenting the long transfer lines, others are already raising concerns that the servers, or at least Glamdring, might already be too full. Clearly, when smooshing a whole bunch of servers into just four, […]

2025/03/27

Massively OP’s MJ is more than a little disgusted with the antics of Lucian Vaunt, the idiot/villain who is causing all the problems in Dungeons & Dragons Online’s Sharn. She already knows Vaunt is bad news, but she needs to prove it (since she apparently didn’t keep any of those incriminating notes from the other […]

Massively Overthinking: Do you multibox in MMORPGs?

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/27

Last week on Twitter, I saw someone refer disparagingly to EVE Online as “the multiboxing game.” I want to talk about the concept of multiboxing in this week’s Massively Overthinking: It’s basically the idea of running multiple accounts at the same time and/or to benefit each other, whether or not they’re actually on a different […]

2025/03/27

With Path of Exile 2 being in early access beta instead of launched, I was unsure whether Grinding Gear Games would be keeping to the three-month cadence for big updates that POE1 is known for. It turns out it’s pretty close: Dawn of the Hunt, the first big content release for POE 2, will launch […]

Our long national nightmare will soon be over: Lord of the Rings Online is finally turning back on the housing system starting next week. OK, maybe a bit dramatic there, but as readers and LOTRO players know, the housing system on the new 64-bit servers has been disabled for most of the past month. Standing […]
