2025/12/04

Over the course of 2025, ZeniMax Online Studios has been running Elder Scrolls Online players through multiple rounds of alliance testing in a system it’s calling Vengeance. That’s not just a statement of fact; that’s a precursor to telling you that Vengeance has returned. By our count, it’s the third such event of the year. […]

2025/12/04

Hyped for Hytale’s early access in January? Same, bro, same. Extra hyped for how cheap it’s gonna be – just 20 dollarbux. But if you were hoping to immediately jump into the fun through Steam, simmer down those hopes. Hypixel executive director Patrick “Lyall” Derbic has penned a new dev blog on the revivified MMO, […]

2025/12/04

There is an article that I am debating writing. It is pretty timely right now, but I am not going to say what it is (because I haven’t decided if I’m writing it). More importantly, though, it is very personal. And when I brought it up with MOP editor Bree, one of the things she […]

If you were staring furiously at the Steam page waiting for the start of early access for the co-op airship survival sandbox Echoes of Elysium, well, this is probably not news to you.

The power of love and friendship is a hell of thing y’all. Never would I have ever imagined myself ever playing Blue Protocol: Star Resonance in 2025, or ever, actually. However, my wife and a few of her friends really wanted to give it a shot. Well, I’m a good sport, loving husband, and a really […]

2025/12/04

Roblox has once again fallen afoul of a government, only this time it’s hiding behind an even thinner veneer of Protecting the Children™ than the arguably performative lawsuits filed by attorneys general in several U.S. states: The Russian communications watchdog group Roskomnadzor has officially blocked the games platform in the country, citing what it calls […]

Hey hey it’s patch day for Throne and Liberty: Amazon pulled the MMORPG offline at 1:30 a.m. EST this very morning with a plan to return to service by 10 a.m. EST, which is just in time for this post to go live. Amazing, like we planned it! Update 3.11.0 comes with a strange mélange […]

You wouldn’t think Thanksgiving and Black Friday week would generate much MMORPG news, but you’d be wrong! Not only did Blizzard announce World of Warcraft Midnight’s launch date for March of next year, but Embracer is continuing to move around the random pieces of Cryptic and PWE still in its possession, Gloria Victis is getting […]

2025/11/30

If we had to summarize this week in Black Desert’s patches, it would be that instances are being updated. Admittedly that doesn’t cover everything that all three versions of the sandbox MMORPG have seen, but it is pretty much about instances and the bosses within those instances. You gotta do something while waiting to learn […]

This will likely not surprise any of our readers, but I am not a venture capitalist and I thus am not choosing which products I toss my money into. If I were, though, I can’t see a scenario wherein I would want to be an angel investor for Pantheon. Not because I think the game is […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/30

BitCraft is one of the understated success stories in the MMO genre this year, although it still has a ways to go in early access before it’s fully fleshed out. The sandbox title took a significant step in that direction this week by finally adding “the first version” of an action bar (hotbar) to the […]

2025/11/29

As reported earlier, Star Citizen has been extremely fixated on spaceships for the past several days, which isn’t necessarily new behavior but it has been a greater output than usual.
