2024/03/31

While it’s no surprise that Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is still quite a ways out, Visionary Realms is continuing to find ways to provide its financial supporters an early crack at the game – Pantheon Seasons – and now the next one is upon us. First announced back in February, seasons are basically a […]

2024/03/30

It’s down to the wire! With only two days left, can Massively OP’s MJ complete Elder Scrolls Online’s Orsinium story to earn the title and the mount? Yes! At least that’s the plan, then she wants to flee from the area forever. She is actually on the final quests and will be wrapping up the […]

2024/03/30

Mobile gamers are perhaps familiar with the RPG AFK Arena. If you are, then you’re probably interested in learning that the sequel AFK Journey is out now, and it’s promising some familiar characters and all-new features.

2024/03/30

The seemingly non-stop parade of Alpha Two preview videos from Ashes of Creation continues this weekend, as Intrepid Studios grants fans and followers of the gankbox a granular look at its Fighter archetype, hosted by several devs and the human equivalent of an excited Pomeranian Steven Sharif. The Fighter will be one of the many […]

2024/03/30

Back in 2018, Steven Spielberg adapted the popular novel Ready Player One into a film. It seemed like a great pairing: The master director of many ’80s film classics handling a story that’s all about ’80s nostalgia. Yet despite a predictably strong box office, Ready Player One didn’t seem to get a lot of love […]

2024/03/30

Considering how dark and brooding Path of Exile is, you have to imagine that the developers had to come up with a shade blacker than black to help deck out an underworld catacombs set in this universe. But hey, you can find out for yourself! Path of Exile: Necropolis went live last night with a […]

Editor's note: Please do not believe this, or any other thing recommended by WRUP. Just tell us what MMOs you're playing this weekend, hang out in our open thread, and maybe answer the bonus question - this week's is about the weirdest MMO dramas we've been entangled in.

The Daily Grind: Should MMOs repurpose their old...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/30

World of Warcraft certainly provoked the raising of many, many eyebrows last week when it announced that its secret March patch ended up being a pirate-themed battle royale mode that repurposed the Arathi Highlands map for a crazy mass competition. It wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and to be honest, it wasn’t mine either. But […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/29

Around the beginning of April, things start getting a little silly. (We simply cannot figure out why!) And in AQ3D, there’s a new silly face to meet. Named Wiggly Whompa, he wants Massively OP’s MJ to experience his whimsical chocolate… er, experience. Visiting a candy factory was always a desire, so she’ll hop right in […]

2024/03/29

It seemed like we would never again hear about Throne & Liberty, given how long globally oriented comms had been silence, but that was not the case. Yes, at long last the game has announced that its open beta is arriving on April 10th, so you can put NCsoft’s claims that the Western playerbase will […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/29

Here’s a new title I’ve never heard of, and it turns out it’s for a reasonable reason: It’s called Ships at Sea, and it’s the multiplayer followup – sorry, “spiritual addition” – to the solo endeavor Fishing North Atlantic. Norwegian studio Misc Games (yes) announced today that the new multiplayer version is launching into early […]

2024/03/29

One’s a multiplayer racing open world-ish title, the other is a cute and emotive social multiplayer game, yet both The Crew Motorfest and Sky: Children of the Light have one thing in common: They’re both landing on the Steam platform next month. Motorfest will hit Steam on Thursday, April 18th, with all of its different […]

If Age of Water’s been flowing right past you without getting your attention, maybe it’s time to dive right into this interesting-looking aquatic survival MMO — especially as it’s releasing into early access next month on April 18th. As part of the lead-up to the launch, Gaijin-backed Three Whales Studio answered five pressing community questions about […]

2024/03/29

Ever since hearing how one of Jagex’s co-founders is bringing a cozy RuneScape-like MMO to us later this year, we’ve been keenly interested to hear any details about what Brighter Shores will offer. Interestingly enough, this skill-based title has a system baked into it to allow for characters to progress in activities even while players […]

This week brought the marquee event that supporters of Microsoft’s multi-billion dollar buyout of Activision-Blizzard were likely eager for: Diablo IV is now available for Game Pass subscribers, whether they’re playing on PC or Xbox. The post heralding the arrival appears to be written for those who have never installed a Game Pass title before […]

2024/03/29

Pokemon Go isn’t talking about its yearly April Fools’ day event yet, but we do have some details on the rest of the month, and they’re a mixed bag. There’s a new Mega, but not a super useful one. Half the world gets a great raider, the other half a joke. We get a great […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/29

Cozy multiplatform MMO Noah’s Heart has never been a loud and splashy MMO, with news about its updates since its official global launch in 2022 being kept largely to the client and its existing players and not, you know, on the website where people could see it. In fact, there hasn’t been a news post […]

2024/03/29

It’s been almost a year since we heard much from Osiris New Dawn, and it’s apparently not just us as the official site hasn’t had much movement since 2022. Readers might recall that this multiplayer sci-fi survival sandbox moved from early access to launch at the top of 2023, but when we checked in last […]

2024/03/29

I have to give some serious credit to ZeniMax: This studio isn’t letting Elder Scrolls Online’s 10th anniversary go by with nothing more than a token nod and a box of fireworks. March has been a full month of activity on behalf of the studio, with the release of the Scions of Ithelia DLC and […]
