2024/03/17

The other day we were reminiscing about the beloved Torchlight franchise in the MassivelyOP office and ended up wondering what happened to its third installment. You know, the one we used to cover fairly frequently until all of the sudden we didn’t because it morphed into a non-MMO and nothing was going on with it. […]

The playerbase of Helldivers 2 is sharing some interesting and terrifying new reveals from the shooter’s various battlefronts, and this time it’s not just about attacks from flying Terminids. Multiple people on Reddit and Twitch are sharing footage of some random blue lasers that are menacing players mid-mission from seemingly out of nowhere. The game’s […]

One Shots: Murderhobo and the Moon

2024/03/17

Do you ever wonder what the last thing you’ll ever see in this world before you bite the big one? I just hope it’s not our headlining picture because I’d rather not die shortly after wetting my pants. This one comes from the ominously named The Lurker, who says, “I have been playing Nightingale a […]

2024/03/17

It can be hard to judge what quite constitutes an underappreciated MMORPG in any given context. It’s easy to say that you feel like your favorite game is underappreciated, but if that game is one of the Big Five, I think it’s probably plenty appreciated. EverQuest is not underappreciated. But there are a lot of […]

2024/03/17

It’s been a fairly dramatic couple of weeks for crowdfunded MMOs! Top of the pile is surely the fact that Kickstarted MMORPG Camelot Unchained has awakened from its slumber of the past few years: The studio, now calling itself Unchained Games, released its spinoff title Final Stand Ragnarok into early access just this past week, […]

2024/03/16

Even though World of Warcraft’s next expansion is still many months away, the theorycrafting is already underway thanks to the ongoing reveals of The War Within’s new hero talent trees. This past week, Blizzard released an overview of the “evergreen” character progression system and a dozen additional talent trees for many of the classes. There’s […]

2024/03/16

Palworld already has boss monsters you can fight in the field as well as boss fights in certain towers, but the survival sandbox’s next update is going to be specifically bringing in a raid boss for players to take on, complete with a dramatic entrance to match. Developer Pocketpair is a bit thin on details […]

2024/03/16

The great RIFT server merge of 2024 looms on the imminent horizon as Gamigo continues to shepherd players off of the soon-to-be-closed realms. To aid in this migration, the studio said that it’s lifted the max character limit for transfers “temporarily,” which should allow for the preservation of entire rosters. There is a caveat to […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/16

Forget raids or the epic books or even Bingo Boffin; we all know that the true endgame in Lord of the Rings Online is the parade of fashion. Heck, that’s the case is pretty much every MMO. And while I am by no means the greatest fashionista you’ll ever meet, I have been known to […]

2024/03/16

Today, March 16th, is the day when EverQuest first launched in 1999, and 25 years later this elder statesman of our genre is still going strong. That means it’s time to celebrate with goodies and data, which are two of Bree’s favorite things (the third is probably chocolate). The infographic below has plenty of fun […]

2024/03/16

As much as we like to hold ourselves up as ironclad individuals above the influence of others, c’mon, we all feel the tug and pull of FOMO when everyone is flocking in a direction. Hearing a friend enthusiastic about a game has the potential to get me pretty excited about it too, especially if our […]

Betawatch: MultiVersus rises from its grave

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/16

Everyone was a little suspicious when MultiVersus shut down and promised it would be back again some day, since we were all pretty sure we’d heard this song before and we know how it goes. But to our great shock, the game is coming back after all, complete with a targeted launch date of May […]

2024/03/15

You know, until this press release dropped in my inbox, I had completely forgotten that Titan Quest 2 was in development, which is great for me as I got to enjoy the experience of realizing it all over again. Yep, the sequel to the original classic multiplayer-optional ARPG was announced last summer, and it’s just […]

2024/03/15

While Mad World doesn’t have a group finder in the usual sense, it does have a party recruitment tool as of the OARPG’s latest patch, which might be useful for those looking to group up for some delves. Maybe. The UI in question (which suffers from some rather unfortunate translation as the buttons instruct players […]

2024/03/15

Back in 2022 we threw a spotlight on Midnight Ghost Hunt, a multiplayer 4v4 game of hide-and-seek in the same vein as Prop Hunt and Witch It, only players who are hiding have opportunities to menace the hunters. The game has been in early access since March of that year, making updates along the way […]

2024/03/15

It really would have been easy to just sort of kick Craftopia into the dumpster when Pocketpair had an actual runaway success on its hands in the form of Palworld, but the game is still chugging along and has just received its spring update. And it’s a springy update indeed, as it includes future technology […]

2024/03/15

When it comes to adding updates to a survival sandbox (or any MMO/multiplayer game), it’s generally a good idea to cast a wide net. The net being thrown out by Enshrouded is wide indeed, as the game’s 2024 update roadmap covers the gamut from furniture to biomes, dungeons to water, cosmetics to quests, and nearly […]
