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.

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 […]

2024/03/29

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 […]

Massively Overpowered ·

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 […]

Osiris New Dawn resurfaces with a new April update...

Massively Overpowered ·

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 […]

The features list for Star Citizen’s Alpha 3.23 release continues to be the focus of CIG’s regular video digests. This week, players are looking through the visors and eye pieces of new on-foot first-person visual updates that all seek to make peering through an in-game avatar’s skull more refined and much neater. CIG talks up […]

Vague Patch Notes: The limits of data in MMORPGs

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/29

Yesterday, I went on a rant about data. As you probably guessed from the various columns wherein I attempt to use data to analyze future points, I like data. I like math. It’s really interesting to see the ways that data will line up, converge, and ultimately give us if not a story at least […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/29

Readers of our site are likely familiar with Polish studio Donkey Crew and its woodpunk survival sandbox Last Oasis. The game, which was first unveiled in 2019, cast players as nomads traveling a desert wasteland aboard large walking wooden ships known as Walkers. It made its early access debut in 2020 after numerous delays but […]

2024/03/29

At the tail end of January, we reported on the WWII FPS Enlisted’s plans to launch into Steam early access, complete with a new name of Enlisted: Reinforced and all of the various feature updates the shooter got on other platforms. That launch was supposed to happen today, March 29th, but Gaijin Entertainment has elected […]

Elite: Dangerous fans likely remember that the start of February had big plans for the spaceship sandbox, including a reworking of the powerplay mechanic among them. Some of those updates have been showcased by Frontier Developments in its latest showcase stream as the devs call attention to a few of the visual updates that “Powerplay […]

2024/03/29

Does it help or hurt to know that a wishlisted game now has a release date — and that this date is still almost two years away? That’s the question that retro-themed MMO Monsters & Memories fans have to ask themselves as Niche Worlds Cult announced that the project is aiming for an early 2026 […]

2024/03/29

A few weeks ago, the Ultima Online team released a newsletter, and its very first entry caught my eye. “I want to address a pressing issue regarding the distribution of misleading materials in town,” the devs wrote. “Dropping books that claiming any third party client is legal, along with instructions on how to use it, […]

2024/03/28

Sadly, Neverwinter’s The Dwarven King doesn’t have nearly enough Bruenor Battlehammer for Massively OP’s MJ’s taste (or even his helm, for that matter!). Instead, she dealt with a Thayan wizard Candelaria, then rescued a missing Dwarven soldier. However, that’s not going to stop her from wrapping up this epic adventure arc. Tonight she’ll run through […]

2024/03/28

A totally not-gaming video inspired this week’s Massively Overthinking: Hank Green’s video called I Believed These Four Lies. Green elaborates on a quad of things he thought were true but turned out to be, well, lies – or at least based on untruths. I want to riff on that idea but drag it back to […]

In fact, it’s the first chance Xbox players […]
