2024/11/27

Palworld is a survival game in which you collect a number of not-Pokeymans, run around a map harvesting things, put those not-Pokeymans to work harvesting other stuff, and have yourself a time. Terraria is a side-scrolling survival game in which you build a house, dig, and fight a giant eyeball with teeth. What do these […]

2024/11/27

Regular readers know that Overwatch 2 isn’t done with esports; it’s just done with swollen esports leagues, having replaced the cancelled Overwatch League with the open registration Overwatch Champions Series or OWCS for short. Fans of the shooter’s esporting scene may be relieved to know that the OWCS will return in 2025, making some new […]

If you were hoping for some major drops to come out of Embers Adrift in the next month or so, Stormhaven Studios is making sure to temper your expectations in its most recent patch notes: Expect things to be a bit slim for a little bit in that regard. “November and December’s patches will continue […]

2024/11/27

It’s absolutely not every day that Star Trek Online hands out its highest tier starships for free, but that’s exactly what’s happening in the MMO right now. The studio announced that it was celebrating Black Friday with a giveaway bundle for PC players (Nov 26th through Dec 10th) and console players (Dec 3rd through Dec […]

New Blizzard job posting reignites hopes for a...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/11/17

Out of all of the IPs that Blizzard owns, few of them seem more underused than StarCraft, which is a shame because the game’s setting seems like an easy fit into a few different genres like, say, an open world shooter. If that example sounds very specific, that’s because it was referenced by Blizzard itself […]

2024/11/16

It’s clear that Diablo IV’s Spiritborn class that was added in the Vessel of Hatred expansion is the flavor of the month, but if you happen to be a player who hasn’t bought in to this rigmarole yet, you can get a little sip of this apparent overbearing power thanks to an upcoming event. From […]

2024/11/16

Are there any MMO projects that you suspect only you remember and care about — but everyone else has forgotten? I feel that way about Into the Echo, an interesting indie MMORPG that was announced back in 2021. This one caught my attention not just because the team was putting a lot of thought into a fully […]

So World of Warcraft is getting player housing, and this announcement was so big that nobody seems to remember or be talking about anything else from last Wednesday’s Warcraft Direct event.

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/11/16

When we think of MMOs that have stalled out or are spinning their wheels doing a lot of nothing in particular, often our minds go to maintenance-moded titles like, say, RIFT or Secret World Legends. The companies keep these MMOs online (for the time being) and perhaps activate annual events or put out a bug […]

2024/11/16

Early access approaches for both Aloft and Pantheon, although on different dates. Pantheon is hitting early access (and Steam, incidentally) on December 13th, while Aloft is just about a month later on January 15th. (Yes, that’s in 2025, naturally.) Still, it means that it’s just about time for the earliest of accesses. Will one game […]
