2025/12/07

Last time we checked in on Enjoy Studios’ in-development voxel survival sandbox Everwind, the studio released a playable demo on Steam a full day ahead of schedule. Now with that demo closed up, the developers are taking a moment to process player feedback and roughly outline what’s next. The developers focus on the generally positive […]

Whatever happened to multiplayer voxel sandbox Cube...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/07

It’s been nearly a year since we last checked in with Cube World Omega, an indie voxel RPG done in the style of Minecraft and Trove that was being developed by a single person. There was a good deal of silence on the project until this past August, when developer Wolfram von Funck announced that […]

Blue Protocol Star Resonance answers quality-of-life...

2025/12/07

Were you hoping to read about how Blue Protocol Star Resonance was going to adjust its violently average gameplay loops? Well, we’ve got bad news for you: A recent Q&A from Bokura appears to have only plucked community questions about quality-of-life features instead. But hey, UI features, item dyeing, and emote wheels are important too, […]

One Shots: Better than advertised!

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/07

When the travel website advertised a five-star experience in a two-star world, who could resist packing up and taking a trip to see that for yourself? And when you find yourself exploring this fantasy world, make sure you sign the guestbook and leave the towels crumpled in the corner of the bathroom before you leave. […]

The Daily Grind: Which MMO do you wish you had spent...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/07

Across the world of MMOs, there are oh so many rats, and you only have time to kill so many of them before other things happen. There’s work to do, chores to do, pets and children to care for, showers to take, and so forth. So it is that December rolls around and we find […]

City of Heroes Homecoming opens a wide-reaching...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/07

Who here is ready to get hyper-granular and math-happy in City of Heroes: Homecoming? If that’s you, then you should get your sweet hinder into the fan-run server’s PTS, which is letting players kick the tires of a new build that applies some sweeping updates to powersets of all kinds. As that lede suggests, the […]

Pantheon Rise of the Fallen plans checkpointing and...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

Dungeons are one of the major group-related activities in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen’s early access, balancing risk and reward in open world areas for players to plumb. However, most aren’t willing to delve too deeply on account of the punishment for failure or a lack of having dedicated legions of guildies raiding these locations, […]

A week before early access, Ashes of Creation...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

Whether Ashes of Creation is fully prepared to be embraced by those outside of its gassed-up “glorious” community remains an open question, but that’s something that the MMORPG world won’t know until the gankbox kicks off Alpha Two-cum-early access on December 11th. What we do know now is how the big ticket additions of the […]

The Stream Team: Something’s fishy in Planet Crafter

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

While Massively OP’s MJ continues to get distracted from her plans in Planet Crafter, progress is still happening. And her latest milestone was introducing fish! Now that she’s hatched her first fish eggs, she’s on the way to populating the world with more than just larvae and bugs. Bonus: She’s unlocked a portal generator to […]

Casually Classic: What WoW Classic could learn from...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

It’s certainly not escaped my attention that plenty of WoW Classic players, dissatisfied with the current state of the game and the wait for Classic+ news, defected to Old School RuneScape in 2025 to find what they were missing. And as strange as it is to say, I’m completely fine with that. We don’t have […]

2025/12/06

The peeks and previews are once more continuing from Camelot Unchained, and though the latest one yet again provides no firm date for the RvR MMORPG’s early access release this year (which surely is not happening at this point, right?), it is providing a couple of peeks at potential and progress all the same. The […]

WRUP: This is a protest column edition

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

Readers, I require your help. This week’s What Are You Playing is part of the long war of hatred between myself and Bree, which consists of me doing whatever the Hell I feel like doing at a given moment and her looking at some of it and saying I’m not allowed to do that for […]

The Daily Grind: Do you frequently swap out your MMO...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

While I absolutely love the “fashion wars” that drive a lot of effort in MMORPGs, I’ve started to scale back in my prior obsession with scads of outfits that I’d frequently change. In fact, these days I put together one ensemble that I feel fits that character best — and then I almost never change […]

The Stream Team: Making a mess in Mother Machine

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

Not the mama! It’s been a rough week as a mom for Massively OP’s MJ, so she’s taking the opportunity to shed the role and be the kid. Tonight she’ll spend some time as a rascally little gremlin in Mother Machine. Her only fear is… can she manage anything solo without her co-gremlin, Chris? Just […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/06

So while most of the world may have lost immediate interest in funneling endless amounts of money into Star Citizen as it resolutely does not release, it has hit another funding milestone as it wraps up another free fly event. $900 million somehow. Which might sound impressive until you ask yourself what game costs $900 million […]

The Settlers Online finishes months-long move to new...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/05

This past April we reported that the 15-year-old city building browser sim The Settlers Online switched hands from Ubisoft Dusseldorf to new owner CipSoft, a studio quite familiar to MMORPG players as it’s the company behind Tibia. However, this process wasn’t as easy as a handshake and the flick of a switch; it’s taken months […]

EVE Online unveils its Winter Nexus 2025 event,...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/12/05

It’s a shame that EVE Online has never made a holiday movie because given the game’s fiction and general playerbase, we think it’d be a heartwarming film about a corporate executive realizing that the true meaning of Christmas is not wasting it with your family but spending more time acquiring other corporations that build steel foundries.

2025/12/05

Fantasy survival game Elden Ring Nightreign’s had a strong first year since its May launch, and the co-op title is apparently determined to close out 2025 on a high note with this week’s Forsaken Hollows DLC. The major selling point for Forsaken Hollows is the addition of the Scholar and Undertaker playable characters. The Scholar […]
