Last week fans of the sandbox MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen were promised a deeper dive into the mount and taming features headed to the game in December. As promised, that more granular preview is now online, which gives a pretty complete overview of how it all works. Creative director Chris “Joppa” Perkins calls […]

The Stream Team: The great Planet Crafter cleanup

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/29

Now that her automated bakery service is up and running smoothly, Massively OP’s MJ can turn her attention back to a very important task: The great clean up of Planet Crafter. There are just too many oxygen huts with resources stored in them scattered throughout the planet. With a teleporter and drones, moving all supplies […]

Fight or Kite: Raven2 is beautiful and gruesome, but...

2025/11/29

Since Raven2 launched a few weeks back, I’ve been logging in here and there to play in small sessions when time allows. The animations and graphics are right up my alley, and I was impressed with a lot of the responses I got back from the Doo-Hyun Cho, Netmarble’s head of development for Raven2 in […]

2025/11/29

Regular fans of World of Tanks know by now that Wargaming has developed a penchant for smashing its Holiday Ops event together with famous actors – no matter how dissonant the combination may appear to be on paper. There was Vinnie Jones in 2023, Jason Statham in 2024, and this year it’s being hosted by […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/29

As the old video game design adage goes, players will always, always take the path of least resistance to a goal even if there’s a more engaging and interesting alternative that might take longer. Oh, we can all cite exceptions to this, but by and large, we know it’s true. If there’s a quick-but-boring route to […]

The Stream Team: Back in Black Friday with the...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/29

One of Massively OP’s MJ’s yearly traditions is spending Black Friday in AdventureQuest 3D. It’s not just because there is cool loot! OK, that is part of it. But not all. And this year has the Turdricken! It’s not to eat, however; it is for sitting on. Or following MJ around. These new Turdricken come […]

2025/11/29

Yes, we have another Hytale week! And for good reason because we have it on good authority (read: official announcement) that the game will be heading to early access on January 13th. It’s worth noting that the announcement strongly reminds fans that it is going to be very much early and very much a buggy […]

2025/11/28

It’s almost time for a fresh season to drop in on Skate, and this time around it looks to be bringing some additions that lean more into the game’s multiplayer and co-op formula, starting off with the new Own the Lot challenges. In Own the Lot, players will have a set time limit to clear […]

2025/11/28

In a world where inflation, shrinkflation, and price gouging is everywhere, it’s always nice to know that you’re getting something for free. The developers over at Eleventh Hour were happy to tell players this week that they don’t need to worry about paying extra for Last Epoch’s upcoming expansion. “Anyone on PC who owns Last […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

With a title like The Old Peace, you might think Warframe’s next big update is lacking in the war department. It’s not: The fact that peace is old hints that it didn’t last. Something else is new. During a preview with Creative Director Rebb Ford and Director of Community and LiveOps Megan Everett, I got to […]

The Stream Team: Funky Black Friday in Fall Guys

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

Once upon a time, Black Friday was all about a mad rush and jostling through crowds to get the ultimate special deals. In the past Massively OP’s MJ barely participated on the fringe of such a tradition. Now, online shopping has eradicated any chance of her experiencing this. Or has it? Fall Guys reenacts the […]

2025/11/28

Even as one TennoCon ends, the hype for the next one begins. And Digital Extremes has just announced the date for next year’s event. In 2026, fans will gather together in London, Ontario, on July 10th and 11th to partake in much Warframe and Soulframe goodness. This includes TennoConcert the second! Tickets go on sale […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

As you might imagine, secret locked rooms stuffed with powerful and valuable loot in a PvP game is catnip to competitive players. This has become a problem in ARC Raiders, as certain elements of the community have used exploits to glitch their way past locked doors in order to grab their ill-gotten gains. That scenario […]

2025/11/28

You’ve got about a week until the second preview of Final Fantasy XIV’s next major update hits with the next live letter from the producer, a little more than two weeks until the patch arrives, and no time at all to wait until the special preview site launches. Yes, the lore tidbits and first screenshots are […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

We certainly didn’t have Gloria Victis coming back from the dead on our 2025 bingo cards, but then this has been a particularly wonky year in the genre and for the games industry. Yet here we are with word from the MMORPG’s Discord that a new publisher has been secured and a relaunch is imminent. […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

It can easily be argued that one of the best parts of EVE Online isn’t in actually playing the game, but in watching the player-made drama that occurs among the space sandbox’s bigger alliances – it’s enough to fill two volumes, even. We have once again seen that reality play out, as one of the […]

2025/11/28

As I write this, we have not yet seen the second developer stream from the Warframe team in which we are fed more details on the upcoming large patch, The Old Peace. But we also already know that it is not going to really look like something that I had originally expected it to be. I […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/28

If I had a dollar for every time I have seen someone in our comments complain about how an MMORPG under discussion has a meta that is almost entirely tilted toward speed, I would have many additional dollars. It comes up a lot. Heck, it comes up a lot in columns, too. There is a […]

2025/11/28

Dune Awakening players are getting a holiday weekend dose of information out of Funcom in the form of a new dev blog. First, the devs reiterate they are still working hard on letting players migrate their bases and characters over to new servers, but that yes, it is still delayed until the next update as previously […]
