It’s time for MOP’s Chris to once again revisit some of the MMO and multiplayer titles that he hasn’t peeked in on in a long time! This time around, it’s The First Descendant, a looter shooter that he found to be fun enough but got distracted from playing further. Has time made the heart grow […]

2025/02/14

One might think that the soft affectionate fuzzies of Valentine’s Day might not exactly fit in a futuristic battlefield setting, but don’t tell PlanetSide 2 that unless you want to be executed by the Hug-o-Tron. In fact, the Valentine’s Directive Event is back to bring some love to the game and offer a few quirky […]

2025/02/14

Ladies and gentlebeings, I give you the latest contender for Mystery Chart of 2025! It’s Nexon’s growth chart for Q4 2024, which seems to be missing some important numbers over on ye olde “revenue” axis! Yeah, you can figure it out if you make some assumptions, but ugggg.

2025/02/14

If you somehow missed that Operation: Belly of the Beast is back in Warframe at the moment, what with the alerts popping up repeatedly… I don’t know what to tell you. The event is here, and while you’ll get the best rewards if you take part in the Steel Path version of the central mission, […]

ARK Survival Ascended launches more Power Rangers,...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/14

Remember how we noted that ARK: Survival Ascended was mostly adding things at the end of 2024 and weirdly leaped forward to March in its 2025 roadmap? Well that’s apparently because the month of February was going to arrive like Doomguy with a shotgun as Studio Wildcard peppered players with a bunch of new additions […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/14

In a different timeline, I think I would’ve been one of those players who entered the MMO space through Asheron’s Call. I remember going to Media Play in the early 2000s and being curious about this title but nervous about its weird fantasy vibe at the same time. So I never did take that early opportunity […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/14

Last week, Star Citizen talked about changes to its content cadence and a primary focus away from adding features and toward introducing content and improving stability. That plan is also the focus for the latest Inside Star Citizen video, only this time it provides a bit more specific detail on just what the content cadence […]

Cozy mini MMO Palia teases its next update with...

2025/02/14

Palia is teasing next week’s update, the Kilima Couture update, which lands on Tuesday. Granted, it doesn’t seem to be a particularly large update, but long-suffering players of the beta are probably used to that. The teaser trailer is honestly pretty but not informative (all hail the snail), but the accompanying verbiage is hinting at […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/14

This week has introduced another fix and adjustment-focused patch for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen as the sandbox MMORPG continues to iron out its early access wrinkles, starting off with changes to lighting, some added graphics options like FSR2 and anti-aliasing, and a requirement for players to make sure they go to the server shard […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/14

Over the last couple of years, we’ve been covering the seemingly endless lawsuit drama between Nexon and Ironmace over Dark and Darker. Nexon accused Dark and Darker studio Ironmace of essentially ripping off Nexon’s Project P3, a credible allegation as Ironmace was headed up by former Project P3 developers who’d left Nexon. There followed a […]

The Daily Grind: Are there any MMO randos who still...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/14

Playing Final Fantasy XIV means spending time with randos, but sometimes those randos become memorable. The characters named things like Viewing Catscene and Carfullof Whiteboys, for example. The Roegadyn man who used Mana Shift to top up my MP in Stormblood and when I thanked him immediately bellowed, “I GOT YOU BOO.” That lady who made […]

2025/02/14

Following the leads Massively OP’s MJ uncovered while doing investigations for the Stormreach Harbor paper’s danger-averse reporters, Hector Hyssop has traced the mastermind behind kidnapping dozens of people and turning them into the hideous Taken monstrosities in Dungeons & Dragons Online. The clues point to recently renovated building rented under a false name. Now MJ […]

We’re celebrating our Independence Day – our 10th birthday since launching as an indie site after the demise of OG Massively – so this week’s Massively Overthinking, the roundtable column where our writers weigh in together on a topic, writes itself. I’m asking our writers to reflect on their time at the site, to reminisce […]

Mainframe’s sandbox MMORPG Pax Dei is back with yet another Discord dev blog today, this one homing in on homes – well, more specifically, buildings and the building changes the studio has proposed for the early access phase. “Building in Pax Dei is about creativity and expression, but some inconsistencies in material costs have made […]

This time around it’s Ravendawn, the Tibia-inspired MMO, which has a bunch of big plans for the rest of this year.

2025/02/13

It seems like forever ago that Second Dinner first teased “character mastery” as an upcoming system, but now after a lot of talk, the studio’s finally delivered the feature to Marvel Snap. The February 11th content update rolled out character mastery with backdated progress and new finishes and flares to gain. “Character mastery has arrived! […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/02/13

When a new Prime warframe arrives in Warframe, fans rejoice. They represent an apex of the form of a frame, improved and idealized. But they are also on something of a delay, as evidenced by the fact that up until the most recent update Lavos had been introduced at the end of 2020 but still […]

2025/02/13

Pearl Abyss may be up to shenanigans with its latest financial report, but Black Desert’s patch is deadly serious, as the global PC version of the game has introduced flying mounts to its long list of travel types. Seriously. “Black Desert offers a variety of transportation options, such as horses and ships, to navigate its […]
