Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/26

We’re continuing our tour back through 2025, one month at a time, in MassivelyOP’s MMO Year in Review today. Elder Scrolls Online brought its standard chapter and DLC cadence to an end in April, announcing a new annual pass and seasonal content model that the devs insisted would be better for the game’s development. Meanwhile, […]

2025/12/26

We’ll just get this out of the way right from the jump: The latest video from Throne and Liberty does not provide anything revelatory about the MMORPG’s plans going into the new year. What it does provide, however, is some entertaining season’s greetings to players and thanks for their support through the past twelve months. […]

2025/12/26

The Golden Yachties series is MassivelyOP’s annual set of fauxwards, named in honor of some guy who was convinced we are all making bank writing about MMORPGs is so lucrative that we’re typing MMO blog posts from a gold-plated yacht. Did Poe’s Law apply? Nobody knows. We’re enjoying the view from the yacht’s deck, shown […]

2025/12/26

The Chinese zodiac calendar declares that 2026 is the Year of the Horse – the Fire Horse specifically – and the following of that New Year’s tradition continues in Final Fantasy XIV with the 2026 edition of the Heavensturn seasonal event that lands to the MMORPG starting Wednesday, January 31st.

When MOP’s Chris started his journey to play through Halo: Combat Evolved cooperatively with his best friend Britarnya, it was because he had never beaten the game before. And this week, he’s hitting the level he got stuck in originally – and that means it’s all new to him from here! Join him today at […]

2025/12/26

About once a year, we hit the holiday season when we still want to make sure that we have content but we’re also very tired from getting our awards in line. These times are perfect for looking back at the past year, and if I haven’t been clear enough about this yet, it has been […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/26

There’s a small, illogical part of my brain that really doesn’t like odd-numbered years on the calendar. I always feel like they’re “in between” the evens, so I’m not comfortable until we cross the threshold to January 1st and get back to numeric sanity. I say this because it seemed that WoW Classic felt like […]

2025/12/26

If you happen to follow the multiplayer gacha RPG Tower of Fantasy, you probably saw some video presents under your tree, both of which portend the game’s next major content update arriving on Tuesday, December 30th. If you didn’t, well, we got you something. It’s video. The first video offers a tease of some of […]

Welcome back to MassivelyOP’s annual MMORPG awards for 2025! Today’s award is for the Best MMO Housing, which was awarded to Guild Wars 2 last year.

2025/12/26

While we rightly bemoan the loss of Fantastic Pixel Castle’s Project Ghost and T-Minus Zero Entertainment’s sci-fi MMO – both a result of NetEase’s decision to pull all funding this past fall – it’s easy to forget that there was another notable casualty in this culling. We refer to the loss of an unnamed Warhammer […]

2025/12/26

We don’t have that much time between now and the start of the new year, which means there are some content gaps to fill in for Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. Luckily, the additions due between January and all the way out into October are already mapped out, as outlined on the game’s site […]

Hey, do you have plans for early next summer locked in already? If not, Monsters & Memories would like to bid for your time, as the throwback-styled indie MMORPG announced that it’s aiming to launch into early access on June 1st. In the latest dev letter, the team at Niche Worlds Cult shared that date […]

2025/12/26

While the question of when, exactly, Camelot Unchained might be coming to us for real, the current team seems at least enthusiastic about showing off this PvP MMORPG at the tail end of the year. First it was a trailer for large-scale realm vs. realm combat, and now it’s an armor showcase for some of […]

The Daily Grind: What was the best MMORPG event of 2025?

2025/12/26

In preparation for this mini-award every year, I always keep track of some of the particularly heart-warming or fun events in MMOs that crop up along the march of months. This year, I want to highlight a few more: the time World of Warcraft players raised over $2,000,000 for Duchennes muscular dystrophy research the time […]

One of Massively OP’s MJ’s traditions is celebrating the season with Astroneer’s Project C.H.E.E.R. She’s even spent multiple Christmas Eve’s and a Christmas Day collecting and wrapping gifts to send off to kids in the cosmos. For her, it’s a satisfying and relaxing way to spend the holiday.

We’re continuing our tour back through 2025, one month at a time, in MassivelyOP’s MMO Year in Review today. Did you have the return of 2013 MMORPG Defiance – the game that literally inspired the transmedia synergy meme – on your 2025 bingo card? We didn’t either, but Gamigo and its subsidiary decided to make […]

2025/12/25

Before you object, hear me out: Yes, I know January 1st is an arbitrary date to decide to adopt a new way of thinking or doing or being. Yes, I know some people are opposed to resolutions. But it’s a tradition, and it’s a tradition around here too, and since MMORPGs are supposed to be […]

Here we are at the end of 2025, happily making our way through the Descendia and the Perita Rebellion like good boys, girls, and folks belonging to neither category in Warframe. This means that it’s a good time to think about the next year ahead of us, and that is precisely what I intend to do […]

2025/12/25

Welcome back to MassivelyOP’s annual MMORPG awards for 2025! Today’s award is for the Best PvP MMO, which was awarded to Throne & Liberty last year. We halted this older award after 2017 since the state of PvP MMOs was pretty weak, but we brought it it back a few years ago when we knew we […]
