Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/26

The latest episode of Throne and Liberty’s ongoing Tico Talks videos is coming in a post-housing, post-Battleground world, and the eponymous globalization manager is clearly excited about how players have been responding to the content. Tico mentions outright that a lot of the team’s future plans for Battlegrounds would depend on how players interacted with the […]

2025/09/26

Presumably, the majority of players in the early access of Path of Exile 2 are chilling at the endgame. If that’s the bucket you fall in, then you might be pleased to learn that your life at the tippity-top is going to be a little more different when a patch goes live next week that […]

Warframe reveals The Vallis Undermind update,...

2025/09/26

It’s just a few week until Warframe gets its 62nd Warframe, and he’s a fun guy. No, really; the next major update, the Vallis Undermind, sees players going into the fungal underground of the Orb Vallis on Venus, and that includes a chance to assemble the new Warframe Nokko. This mushroom-themed frame is stylized as being […]

Blizzard comments on WoW Classic’s future: ‘What we...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/26

WoW Classic’s increased focus and Blizzard’s conversation on the upcoming China-only Titan Reforged server apparently rubbed at a sore spot in the Classic community, with worries emerging that the long-rumored “Classic Plus” project is being put on the backburner. But yesterday, Blizzard devs posted reassurance that other WoW Classic projects will continue moving forward even […]

The Daily Grind: Do you forget to spend your MMORPG...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/26

As I type this, I have around 7000 LOTRO points unspent and about 5000 Palia coins. I didn’t buy it directly; they both accumulated through stipends from subscriptions (or as near as Palia comes to a sub, anyway). On the flipside, I have zero Guild Wars 2 gems banked. I seem to always spend those […]

The Stream Team: Dreaming of Jeets in Dungeons &...

2025/09/25

Forget dreaming of Jeannie; Dungeons & Dragons Online has “I Dream of Jeets”! And something tells Massively OP’s MJ that the latter experience will not be humorous or light-hearted. Although MJ and her team fought off the nightmare creatures sent by the Path of Inspiration and the Dreaming Dark, Jeets is still trapped in slumber […]

Massively Overthinking: What should Gamigo do with RIFT?

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

Over the last four months, Gamigo has been up to something with RIFT. In June, the studio started putting out small but noticeable patches for the MMO, after having left it mostly dormant but for merges and events sine 2022. Perhaps because the timing also coincided with Gamigo’s effort to bring Defiance back online as […]

2025/09/25

Being the producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV is a job. Actually, it’s two jobs, but for Naoki Yoshida it’s absolutely a job first and foremost. And in a recent interview, Yoshida talked about exactly that. More specifically, he talked about the fact that he is an employee who is working on a game and his […]

War Thunder’s Tusk Force update offers some new tanks...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

The Tusk Force update arrives to War Thunder and it’s sporting some big, beefy cannons. Seriously, these are lengthy cannons. Girthy, you might say. That means four new Thai tanks for Japan’s forces, the new T58 for the USA with a rapid reload, and the M35 sporting the biggest cannon currently in the game. Do you […]

Helldivers 2 promises better comms and a mid-October...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

Life within the fanbase of Helldivers 2 has not been particularly sunny, as the co-op shooter’s latest patches have introduced more problems than they’ve fixed in terms of performance, bugs, and crashes, which in turn have helped to bring its Steam user score down to mixed. Arrowhead has not been oblivious to this blowback and […]

2025/09/25

If you’re a Fiona fan in Nexon’s Vindictus, prepare for an update that ensures she looks just as badass as she actually is. Yep, she’s getting a wicked scar. The Fiona update that launched this week “enhances Fiona’s appearance and utility, introducing faint scars and a new hairstyle that reflect her long battle history and […]

Pax Dei’s autumn update has arrived with plot slots,...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

No, we are not going to stop our collective immature snickering over the introduction of “plot slots” in Pax Dei, especially since the new house plot management system is the key component of its newly released autumn update that invites players to create slots with their plots. Teehee. As we reported previously, plot slots are […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

The seasons begin their turn both across the globe and in the PC version of Black Desert as the sandbox MMORPG’s fifth season server is now officially open for business. And when we say “business,” we mean rapid leveling and lots of shinies, as is usually the case for these servers. From now until December […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

There are a lot of projects in the works for the up-and-coming solarpunk Loftia, but one of them caught our eye: a “social toy” that’s basically a bouncing ball which invites nearby players to participate in a silly game. “Launch a ball into the sky, and a glowing ring shows where the ball will land,” […]

2025/09/25

Nothing gets me more excited about a Stars Reach prealpha patch than devs tinkering with the skill trees, and this week’s update does just that for the in-development sci-fi MMORPG, adding dozens of new skills and even three new skill trees, though most of it is not actually usable yet. We spy everything from pharmacology […]

2025/09/25

Palworld has already proven that it’s willing to enter collabs with a pretty broad variety of games – recall that it had crossover content with Terraria and it’s also planning to cross streams with the FPS Ultrakill in 2026 – but even we have to admit surprise that the grimcute creature collecting survivalbox will be […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

So there were a lot of reasons to be skeptical about Ship of Heroes. I wrote a column about why I was skeptical about it pre-launch. Then it announced its launch pricing, and if there had been any hype left, that would’ve finished it off. Justin already covered that pretty darn well. Pricing the game at […]

2025/09/25

If you thought that Embracer Group seeing Lars Wingefors stepping down as CEO was the end of the company’s gleeful ride on the bad ideas train, then let some statements from new CEO Phil Rogers disabuse you of that notion, as he talked up the company’s plans to go all in on using AI tech […]

2025/09/25

With all of the craziness around the 64-bit servers this year, we really haven’t talked much about the actual content that’s come out of Lord of the Rings Online in 2025. We’ve gotten three updates in 2025 so far: Update 43 was the raid from Legacy of Morgoth (and the new deed log that was […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/09/25

It’s a bit disheartening if you’ve chosen to start a new character on a new server and found yourself matched up with players from established servers who are somewhat more established than you are. So it’s probably a good thing that Throne and Liberty’s latest patch includes a new restriction on matchmaking among its quality-of-life changes, […]
