2026/02/28

Despite limiting access to the most expensive expansion version, World of Warcraft’s Midnight head start on Thursday evening saw high queue numbers and expected login issues. While things have calmed down somewhat, Blizzard did need to scramble to close off an exploit for the housing Endeavor system. “I can also confirm that Endeavor XP is […]

2026/02/28

Let’s be honest, in most gaming there are only a small number of ways one can gain progress. However, sometimes there are unique opportunities. Such is the case in No Man’s Sky: MJ gets to make progress in the expedition by running things over in her truck! Rocks, trees, even video game animals bring rewards […]

Kickstarted camping van sim Outbound is coming off a high this week, thanks to a very successful demo during Steam Next Fest. Studio Square Glade Games said that over 50,000 people came to check out the demo during this period, with largely positive reviews pouring into Steam and some much-needed feedback from testers pushing changes […]

2026/02/28

It’s not too often that CIG’s Chris Roberts takes interviews, but sure enough, he did take some time to speak with YouTube channel Back Pocket about some of the scope, the finances, and the pitfalls of the long-developing Star Citizen and Squadron 42. The interview, which is an edited-down 10 minutes’ worth of discussion with Roberts while he […]

Join us for our weekly open thread! We're discussing what MMOs we're playing this weekend and answering a bonus question about our least favorite number (?), and weirdly, everyone had one.

The Daily Grind: Do you like using the random mount...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/28

It used to be that getting a mount or a pet would be a rare instance, but those days are long behind us. Nowadays, MMOs are all about collecting as many variants and types of transportation and vanity pets as possible. And when you have a ton of these, it might be really tough to […]

2026/02/28

While the carnival is sadly gone for now, there are still things for Massively OP’s MJ to do on in AQ3D. She hasn’t looked into the order and chaos rewards yet, and now the final volume of the Archivist’s tome has launched. Wait, did MJ even finish the first two volumes? Camp Gonngetcha is even […]

Betawatch: Marathon slams, Gloria Victis returns

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/28

This week’s Betawatch is, we’re sorry, just overstuffed. There’s so much stuff going on this week. Sure, Marathon is holding its big pre-launch server blitz and Gloria Victis is apparently coming back from the dead courtesy of Gamigo; those are obvious big things. But usually one of those would be the first item and the other would […]

2026/02/27

The days when video game voice acting was handled by whatever programmers were available to hop into a recording booth for half an hour are long in the rearview, and with Crimson Desert banking hard on the idea of its storytelling, you will likely not be surprised that Pearl Abyss is putting the voice cast front […]

2026/02/27

If you’re a fan of multiplayer military vehicle battlers, you’ll want to know that both World of Tanks and War Thunder are delivering next major content updates soon. We’ll begin with WOT and its update 2.2, which is mostly fixated on quality-of-life updates including new perks and other improvements for crew management, an updated armor inspector, changes to the Ares line […]

2026/02/27

Horse mystery MMO Equinox Homecoming is having a whirlwind end-of-February: It released a free demo, announced a March 5th launch, revealed the new business model, and promised to “support this game for the years to come and for as long as we can” with new chapters, horses, animations, and optimization. Blue Scarab is also apparently […]

Valheim’s ‘looking to the future’ dev blog...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/27

When a dev vlog is literally titled “looking to the future” and the game has been sitting in early access for years, you might expect that you’re about to get some launch details. But when the game is Valheim, you should not expect this. Lucy is gonna yank that football away at the last second. […]

2026/02/27

The RuneScape Road to Restoration continues apace as the developers have moved on to the next major topic, the Grand Exchange. The thing is that on one level, the Grand Exchange is very easy to understand. It’s a feature so people don’t need to stand outside of the bank and shout to make sales. But it […]

2026/02/27

It’s either an expansion or the multiplayer RPG’s largest content bundle since its launch, but whatever it’s being classified as, Where Winds Meet is most definitely bringing a lot to the table when the Hexi update arrives on Friday, March 6th, and Everstone Studio is keen to let players know all about it. A preview livestream from […]

Do you have a favorite Donkey Crew game? Whether you’re partial to the post-apocalyptic MMO themes of Last Oasis or the medieval survivalbox vibes of Bellwright, there’s something significant happening in the studios’ portfolio right now. The studio, in partnership with Snail Games, announced that it’s bringing Bellwright’s early access survival RPG to PlayStation 5 […]

2026/02/27

This week’s pick for a music track comes from Trion Worlds’ late Atlas Reactor, which got you pumped up from the get-go with its theme. I liked it so much that I pestered Scott Hartsman back in the day to release it as a standalone track, which he then did. MOP’s Chris is a big […]

2026/02/27

As promised, BitCraft rolled its so-called early access 2 phase yesterday afternoon following a 24-hour downtime, and the MMORPG saw an immediate spike in players, pushing to nearly 2000 concurrent yesterday, though we assume it’ll get much higher this weekend as it’s almost done so in the middle of a Friday as we type this.

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/27

So I am glad – absolutely – that Warframe is now available for Android devices. I have not downloaded it for my Android phone. There are a variety of reasons for this and some of them come down to the fact that my February has been… well… a word that rhymes with “shucked” but is most definitely […]

2026/02/27

The weird and woolly history of Dreadmyst, an isometric MMORPG built by a solo dev, has reached its perhaps natural, albeit abrupt, conclusion: The dev has officially stopped work on the game and the title is once more removed from Steam. “I’ve decided to step away from development,” the announcement simply reads. “If you already have the game […]

MMO Hype Train: Ashes of Creation really could’ve...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/27

The trainwreck that I feared might slam into Ashes of Creation was born of worry that Intrepid had pulled the trigger on early access too early, that negative first impressions would tank the project, and that the MMO would quickly decline and be canceled before its launch. That’s not really what happened, is it? It […]
