2025/12/25

What happens when you blend the neon pastiche of ’80s cartoons, the side-scrolling action of a game like Contra, and roguelite mechanics all together? Well, if you’re a certain vintage of gamer, you might get a good time, and you also might get Storm Lancers from developer ProbablyMonsters, which has made its full release to […]

2025/12/24

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 […]

There’s no doubt that 2025 was an incredibly active year for MMORPG launches and releases. And while game debuts got a big spotlight, much of the actual player enthusiasm was channeled into the raft of expansions, updates, features, and additions that arrived in currently operating MMOs. This was a terrific year for expansions and updates, […]

2025/12/24

With Anthem scheduled to close its servers for good on January 12th, 2026, loyal fans are working to ensure BioWare‘s ill-fated looter shooter doesn’t go quietly into the night.

2025/12/24

A few years ago, I started a personal tradition where every December on the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, I gift myself with a brand-new game (or two). Usually I’ll pick up some title I’ve been watching in anticipation for a sale. This year? I’ll probably jump on the bandwagon and check out […]

2025/12/24

While there are no new events, there’s still something comforting about Guild Wars 2’s Wintersday festivities. From fighting off plush griffons to pelting folks with snowballs, it’s a whimsical and relaxing experience. (Except for the jumping puzzle, which is definitely not relaxing, though she even can enjoy that in small doses!) Earning thematic gear and […]

2025/12/23

Let’s not mince words here, League of Legends has gotten a bit long in the tooth, and it’s also the central point around which Riot Games has revolved during its entire lifespan. So it is perhaps not surprising that, as first published in a Bloomberg report and then all but confirmed by Riot itself, the team […]

2025/12/23

While the latest patch for early access survivalbox Enshrouded might seem a bit scattershot, it’s generally being classed by developer Keen Games as one focused on quality-of-life, and that’s never really a bad thing when you’re attempting to survive and thrive in a dying land. Among the additions made in the game’s final patch for […]

We can guess that you’re wondering just what the heck a “co-ex test” is. Is it a test of coconut exteriors? A test for copium EXTREEM? Or perhaps one for cooperative existence? We’re willing to bet it’s that last one, as the upcoming gacha multiplayer RPG Neverness to Everness is now taking applications for its […]
