2026/05/22

Let the jabs at Unreal Engine 5 flow freely: Pax Dei has announced on Discord that the planned PTS testing round for its next planned patch has had to be delayed as a result of some very specific technical problems related to a move to Unreal Engine 5.6.

Not content to merely kick off an expansion with three raids, World of Warcraft is making plans to cram in another one with Midnight’s upcoming Patch 12.0.7. This single-boss raid, Sporefall, challenges groups of 15 to 25 players to defeat the mighty foe Rotmire in Harandar. “The fungarians of Sporefall have nurtured a fungal giant […]

2026/05/22

EG7 and Daybreak are apparently adding another new studio to their roster – and we’re not talking about Cold Iron this time. The new group is called Ravenwake Games, and it sure does look like a Canadian outfit that will support Daybreak’s MMORPGs. “Ravenwake Games is a Vancouver-based game studio dedicated to building great games,” […]

2026/05/22

Well, folks, it finally happened. I’ve been waiting for this to happen, and it did in this installment. See, one of the things I’ve kept saying is that one of the cool things about Warframe is that even the older frames are still useful and relevant. However, the reality is that most of the first few […]

2026/05/22

You know, I’m starting to think that either interviewers love baiting Funcom about Dune Awakening’s MMORPG status, or Funcom really loves baiting MMORPG players about it, but one way or another, it is 2026, and we’re still apparently doing the thing where Joel Bylos comes out with a new take on MMORPGs to try to […]

2026/05/22

As I write this, BlizzCon 2026 seems so far away. There’s a gulf of summer between now and September 12th, when we (hopefully) will be hearing concrete plans for the future of WoW Classic. That’s over three long months to wait, especially if our own personal plans will be shaped by any announcements that Blizzard […]

If you’re a regular player of the multiplayer Wuxia action RPG Where Winds Meet, you might have been intensely curious about what’s hiding within the Imperial Palace, particularly since your character isn’t allowed to enter.

2026/05/22

If you were hoping that Bungie would finally focus on making another entry in the Destiny series following the announced maintenance moding of Destiny 2 in June, some insider reporting to Bloomberg may disabuse you of that idea, as apparently “a significant number of layoffs” are on tap instead. According to anonymous sources familiar with the studio’s […]

2026/05/22

If adorable classic isometric MMORPGs are your jam, point your eyeballs over at Angels Online this morning, as the 20-year-old IP is getting a refreshed MMORPG international entry. Angels Online is a new one for me, but if you’re an East Asian or console gamer, you’ve surely heard of this before because the OG Angels […]

2026/05/22

Whenever we write a post on MassivelyOP, we have to decide how to categorize and tag it, and then decide whether to hashtag it as an MMORPG on social media too. Usually this is a pretty easy call. But sometimes, I find myself looking at a game and sighing deeply because I just don’t want […]

Taking a break from quest arcs, MassivelyOP’s MJ is embarking on a standalone adventure in Dungeons & Dragons Online. It seems the drow are capturing Purple Dragon Knights and dropping them into a gladiatorial pit somewhere in the Underdark.

2026/05/21

Back in March, when Funcom finally admitted defeat and announced that it would split up Dune Awakening’s PvE and PvP scenes to align with the playerbase it had actually attracted (instead of forcing PvE players into PvP), MOP reader Nick said something that struck a chord with me. “The problem with PvP is simple: Today […]

2026/05/21

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XI with an unlimited free trial up to level 75 featuring the entirety of the base game? That’s hundreds of hours of free content! No, really, the copypasta has broken containment, and producer/director Yoji Fujito has confirmed that players will be able to reach the old […]

2026/05/21

Adding a new class or having a big celebratory event are both completely fine reasons to have a big patch to an MMO, but what if that patch had both of those things at once? Assuming your feeble little mind (affectionate) can handle it, that’s just what’s coming to Raven2 on Tuesday, May 26th, in the MMO’s […]

2026/05/21

There’s nothing more aggravating as an MMO player when a patch slams into your game out of nowhere — or so it feels, because you weren’t paying attention. To reduce the chances of this happening and increase general awareness of what’s in the works, Star Trek Online studio Cryptic is now publishing a Watch List […]

2026/05/21

Earlier this week we reported on the developers of the silly multiplayer beat-’em-up Party Animals absolutely stepping in it with its playerbase, as they proposed an AI-generated video contest that was met with immediate pushback from fans, responding with a meager apology and then posting a poll that included running the AI contest anyway as an […]

2026/05/21

No one’s going to be surprised by this, given how badly Sony has mangled Bungie over the last couple of years, the fact that little has happened since the Renegades expansion, and the abrupt delay of seasonal content as the studio worked on Marathon, but yes, Destiny 2 is headed to maintenance mode as the […]
