2024/04/07

It’s only April and we might just have our biggest MMO Kickstarter of the year in the form of the new sci-fi multiplayer sandbox Starship Simulator. Indie team Fleetyard Studios sought $82K on the platform and has already blown way past that; as I type this, nearly 4000 gamers have put in over $350,000 with […]

2024/04/06

Astroneer’s Breakdown event has been going this whole year, but time has been flying faster than Massively OP’s MJ can keep up! In fact, this is the last weekend: The event ends tomorrow.

The breaking down of feedback continues, as Soulbound Studios’ Jeromy Walsh has posted a rundown of what’s been said and what happens next in his Discord. Walsh once again […]

2024/04/06

It’s pretty easy to assume a dungeon called Mad Run would be dangerous, but just in case you needed confirmation that Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen’s big ticket feature for its second pre-alpha “season” will be offering pain aplenty, then there’s some fresh gameplay video designed to ease your mind.

2024/04/06

I admit that I have a weakness to MMOs that woo me back into playing them. So when SWTOR changed hands to Broadsword and showed signs of actual life again, I gladly allowed myself to be pulled back into its orbit once more. Of course, it wasn’t as easy as hitting “go!” There was the […]

2024/04/05

We aren’t exactly thrilled with the way that Palia’s development team has been dancing hither and yon around the title of beta recently, but that sure as heck doesn’t mean any of us wanted to see that 35% of the development team at Singularity 6 got laid off. That’s just awful news. Our condolences to […]

2024/04/05

Oh Anvil Empires, MMO players are just not paying any attention to you, but they should be, as Siege Camp’s Foxhole has gained a steady fanbase and the studio continues to pour effort into its purer MMORPG sandbox. The latest dev blog is probably also not going to light the world on fire, although if […]
