2026/02/13

What do Valentine’s Day and the Lunar New Year have in common? Well, as we noted in our earlier roundup, they both fall on the same month, and PlanetSide 2 is most certainly taking advantage of that fact in its latest little patch, which has a little bit of both holidays marked in one. First is the Valentine’s Day […]

2026/02/13

Mondstadt. The realm of the wind. The very first place that players’ adventuring begins in Genshin Impact. Most high-level players of the gacha RPG likely don’t have much reason to go back to this starting realm, but the next update might just change that, as it brings a narrative reason to return to where it all […]

The February patch for Astroneer has landed for players, and that patch contains a number of improvements to quality of life and fixes to various Megatech issues as well. This is in keeping with the stated goal of the design team to fix the game’s issues and improve the game across the board, but it’s also […]

2026/02/13

Back in December, the FFA PvP sandbox MMORPG Profane was talking up a playtest scheduled for sometime early this year, which will bring ship sailing, multiple regions, and several new abilities for players to use. While we still don’t have any dates for this playtest beyond soon™, the devs at Insane Studio have discussed these features in […]

2026/02/13

If the name of XLGAMES’ extraction looter shooter The Cube, Save Us piqued your interest beyond wondering who would name a game that, then prepare to feed your curious eyeballs with some additional information thanks to the game’s newly launched official English site. The site not only provides set dressing for the shooters sci-fi post-apoc […]

SkyRen is an upcoming anime parkour racing MMO...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/13

Despite the fact that it has become synonymous with video game movement that treats actual movement like a loose suggestion, parkour is a real thing. It is a system for getting from point A to point B using the urban landscape as a series of stepping stones, which means SkyRen is a perfect parkour game if […]

2026/02/13

Apparently, Scars of Honor wants to make fans really, really aware that the MMORPG is a PC game first and foremost, as its latest dev blog would very much like to point out. But also it does confirm that, yes, a mobile version of the game is coming. Eventually. But PC first! “After careful consideration, we’ve decided […]

Massively on the Go: Preparing for Pokemon Go’s 2026...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/13

Pokemon Go’s upcoming Kalos Tour is not looking great. No new legendary+ pokemon to raid, only two new Megas and one is a so-so typing that we already have, and none of the wild spawns are really getting anyone I know hyped. And I say all this as a major Gen 6 fan who loves the new Pokemon Legends: […]

2026/02/13

Pro tip for MMORPG devs: Starting a dev blog “the future of the game” is going to cause hearts to pound even if the future isn’t bad, so I sure do wish y’all would stop doing this. But that is indeed what Pax Dei did in its missive to players at 7 o’clock this morning. […]

Storyboard: What diegesis actually means in MMORPGs

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/13

Today’s article is brought to you by me, as I am very, very annoyed at the fact that RuneScape’s designers apparently do not know what “non-diegetic” means. This is not actually a problem in and of itself; no one is under any obligation to know what every term means. It is not a fault if […]

Blue Isle Studios is no stranger to multiplayer survival sandboxes, having focused on Citadel: Forged with Fire for a good part of the 2020s. Now, the studio is preparing its next project for the global scene with Guardians of the Wild Sky. This survival sandbox aims to check off as many geeky features as possible, […]

2026/02/13

Last year was a big one for fans of airship-driven islands-in-the-sky sandboxes, and of all the ones that dropped, Aloft was my personal favorite. Now, Funcom and Astrolabe have pushed out another update for the early access co-op game: Gliders & Gales. To my eyes, it’s a smaller update than last fall’s Bloom & Blight, […]

Pearl Abyss’ Q4 2025 and full-year 2025 financials dropped yesterday, with a slightly better outlook for the company than the two years prior. Readers might recall that in Q3 2025, Pearl Abyss was smashing that like button on the announcement that Black Desert revenues were soaring on the strength of last summer’s Edania The Demon […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/13

At this point, we’ve got so many “solo MMO” and “MMORPG sim” games that I’m starting to lose track of them. Erenshor is by far the biggest; then we had Soloria, which closed down already, and Afallon. More recently, we learned about one called NPC Simulator – like, it’s really just called that – and […]

Well, well well, what do we have here? Although Massively OP’s MJ is eager to delve through the Underdark more in Dungeons & Dragons Online, sometimes the stand-alone quests grab her attention. Such is the case of Don’t Drink the Water. The inhabitants of Eveningstar have been drawing water from the well in the village’s […]

Massively Overthinking: Is the MMO guild dead?

2026/02/13

Almost 11 years ago, when we were still setting up our indie version over here on MOP, we did a Massively Overthinking about the death of the MMO guild. At the time, our readers and writers were concerned about the rise of mega-guilds and multi-guilding – the “corporatization of guilding,” our reader put it while […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/12

The upcoming Prelude 13 for Soulframe is trying to give players more control over Virtues by… removing control. No, really. The point-by-point Virtue spending is going away, and Virtues will instead be filtered through the Virtue Prisms characters will equip. This goes hand-in-hand with a number of other changes to make it clearer exactly how each […]
