2025/11/27

In an era of armchair warriors, we bring you Backseat Streamers! Here, Massively OP’s Chris and MJ get to take a backseat and watch the gameplay right along with you; instead of you commenting on their adventures, they will comment on yours!

2025/11/27

The leaves have changed and fallen, and even in the Dark Age of Camelot it’s time to enjoy a big warm meal with family and friends. Maybe it’s also time to enjoy a farmer’s market? Both sound nice, so it’s a good thing that the aforementioned game is offering players the chance to take part in […]

Halloween returns to Diablo Immortal in December...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/26

While most MMOs will be slathering their lands with fluffy snow, merry elves, and cheery trees next month, that’s not the best look for Diablo Immortal (as funny the thought may be). Instead, the mobile MMO has a trio of events planned for December, each more diabolical (eh? eh?) than the last. This week’s update […]

World War II Online heralds ‘the end of pay-to-win’...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/26

When the game developers themselves believe a system is pay-to-win, it certainly perks up ears, and that’s part of the message being projected by World War II Online, as Cornered Rat Software has officially launched its victory points system that lets free players earn their way to premium rewards. A related video from this past […]

2025/11/26

It would appear that Black Desert has been infected with all of the mobile gaming brain worms, as Pearl Abyss is queuing up pre-registration for the sandbox MMORPG’s next class. Why is this a thing? Is the studio gauging interest in yet another giant sword lady? How badly do you need Advice of Valks? These […]

2025/11/26

Are you a fan of indie MMORPGs, sci-fi, and a whole bunch of exclamation points? If so, we point your eyeballs toward Rixa, an upcoming indie MMORPG from the team at NOT ANOTHER 2D PLATFORMER STUDIOS. Yes, that’s the studio name. Yes, it’s in all caps. That (let’s call it) spirit is maintained throughout the […]

2025/11/26

OK, so who had March 2nd on the World of Warcraft Midnight expansion going live? Pretty much nobody, actually, but hey, at least it won’t conflict with the other stuff going on in January or stretch all the way into next summer, which was a possibility. “Prepare to face Xal’atath, the Harbinger and the Void […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/26

Hey so remember this past spring when Fractured Online’s Dynamight Studios team got bought out by a new studio called Happy Cauldron Games, which sounded scary at first until it became obvious that HCG and its boss, Duncan “TaNaHaRa” Davis, were actually serious about trying to rescue the MMORPG? And better yet, it wasn’t going […]

2025/11/26

If you were really hoping that before Pioner hit early access the fact that it’s not “Pioneer” would stop bothering you… well, it has very little time left to stop bothering you, as the game is heading into early access on December 16th, meaning it will make its planned 2025 launch. The latest press release from […]

MMO Week in Review: Guild Wars Reforged, Hytale restored

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/24

The MMO fall season has been a rollercoaster of really great news and really terrible news, and we’ve got a bit of both this week. Not only did the Hytale devs rescue the MMO and platform from the dead with a plan to get it into early access soon, but EVE Online successfully launched Catalyst […]

2025/11/23

We’re all pretty lucky in that the Thanksgiving holiday doesn’t involve fighting turkeys to dress our table (and ideally also doesn’t involve us fighting over turkeys in the shops). However, if you happen to yearn for the thrill of combat and the seasonal feeling of this feasting holiday, then you should fire up your copy […]

December 9th is the date to track for Overwatch 2 because on that day Blizzard shall unleash its first melee DPS hero for the game: Vendetta. “Introducing Vendetta — Overwatch’s first-ever melee Damage Hero,” the studio said. “With her Palatine Fang greatsword in hand, along with her lightning-fast mobility, Vendetta dominates close-range encounters with raw power […]

2025/11/23

The month of December will be here before MOP’s Chris knows it, and that means he’s got to try to get some better gear to be ready for Final Fantasy XIV’s next content update. So what does he do? Why, recruit his Porg Squadron to do some roulettes and get some tomestones! Join the gang […]

2025/11/23

Last time we peeked in on Fellowship, we noted how updates to this point were more focused on adjustment and fixing over additions. While that cadence continues in this week’s updates, the devs at Chief Rebel have put out a video outline that promises more content is on the way to the early access co-op […]

2025/11/23

Normally, the second live letter before a major patch in Final Fantasy XIV is when we find out the patch release date. Not so for the next update; we already know that patch 7.4, Into the Mist, will be releasing on December 16th. But we can still see the trailer and more details of upcoming content […]

I anticipate we’re about to see a flood of player housing pictures when World of Warcraft opens the doors next month for its new system. William is a little ahead of the curve here with a picture of an abode he made in the beta. “In housing systems like those of ESO or City of […]

2025/11/23

I would love to see Hollow Knight: Silksong crossover material in an MMORPG. That’s not the same as saying that I want an MMORPG set in that world; while I wouldn’t say no to that, I don’t think it’s inherently necessary. But a crossover in an online game that lets you dress up in masks and shells […]

2025/11/22

It’s been a little while since any major news came out of the team vs. team PvP mecha shooter Mecha BREAK, but that’s because the game has been in its first full season since last month. Well, the seasons are changing – or at least moving onward in numerical order – starting this week, as […]
