2025/11/28

From the moment we heard of Light No Fire, the second project and an unambiguous survivalish MMORPG coming from studio Hello Games, we were all interested to hear what came next. Unfortunately, the title may as well have been “Reveal No News” given all of the nothing that has come out about the game since its […]

2025/11/28

When my kids hit middle school, I was informed in no uncertain terms that they don’t have playdates. They arrange hangs. So today, I’m asking you to arrange a hang. Imagine all the NPCs in the MMORPGs you play. Which one would actually be fun be around, as opposed to just being a quest dispenser, […]

2025/11/28

What’s more fitting for Thanksgiving than a feast? And what feasts better than Moopsy? Throw in some zombies and you have a very thematic holiday celebration in Star Trek Online. How could Massively OP’s MJ pass that up? She’s earned herself an adorable little Moopsy as well as an entourage of zombies to partake in […]

Whatever happened to early access PvPvE extraction...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

It’s been a hot few minutes since we checked in on Legacy: Steel & Sorcery, the early access PvPvE extraction RPG from developer Notorious Studios, an indie outfit made up of several ex-WoW devs. Readers might recall it started its early access run in February, and MOP’s own Sam found it to be a promising […]

Massively on the Go: Pokemon Go December 2025...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

As previewed thus far, Pokemon Go’s December 6th-7th Community Day roundup event is breaking a major tradition: The roundup is covering only 2025. That makes for a shorter target list, which we’ll get to below, but 2025 also wasn’t a great year for Community Day picks. New players may have gotten some short-term power, but […]

2025/11/27

One does not merely walk into Mordor… unless it’s in Lord of the Rings Online, in which case many ones merrily stroll into Mordor on a daily basis. And in fact, LOTRO community organizers are putting together “the Monumental March to Mordor” where a huge crowd will make the hike from the Shire to Mount […]

2025/11/27

It’s Thanksgiving night here in the United States where most of us are located (don’t worry, Tyler is welcome to some turkey too), and yes, that means we’re on the eve of award season and all the end-of-the-year chaos it entails. We’re going to kick off in a small and quiet way, however, with one […]

Enshrouded’s latest patch is a tall drink of water,...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

The most recent major patch for Enshrouded dared to ask “what if a survival sandbox were wet? Just, like, really damp?” The newest patch is going all in on that, so now you can expect more fluid flowing water. You can also find water draining away more slowly on many surfaces and carrying longer distances, which might […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/27

I’ll be very honest, nothing about the world of Guild Wars 2 feels like a world to me. It’s always appeared to be like a series of playmats stitched together to create a world map, both in terms of the literal map itself and the gameplay loops. Which is fine if you care to play […]

2025/11/27

For those of you not in the US, today is the holiday known as “Thursday.” For those of you in the US (which is a large chunk of our readership), it’s Thanksgiving, which means that it’s time to eat enough food to kill a small horse and then “leave room for dessert” before you do […]

In an era of armchair warriors, we bring you Backseat Streamers! Here, Massively OP’s Chris and MJ get to take a backseat and watch the gameplay right along with you; instead of you commenting on their adventures, they will comment on yours! Dungeons are a pretty staple part of MMORPGs. And there are untold many […]

2025/11/27

The leaves have changed and fallen, and even in the Dark Age of Camelot it’s time to enjoy a big warm meal with family and friends. Maybe it’s also time to enjoy a farmer’s market? Both sound nice, so it’s a good thing that the aforementioned game is offering players the chance to take part in […]

Halloween returns to Diablo Immortal in December...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/26

While most MMOs will be slathering their lands with fluffy snow, merry elves, and cheery trees next month, that’s not the best look for Diablo Immortal (as funny the thought may be). Instead, the mobile MMO has a trio of events planned for December, each more diabolical (eh? eh?) than the last. This week’s update […]

World War II Online heralds ‘the end of pay-to-win’...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/26

When the game developers themselves believe a system is pay-to-win, it certainly perks up ears, and that’s part of the message being projected by World War II Online, as Cornered Rat Software has officially launched its victory points system that lets free players earn their way to premium rewards. A related video from this past […]

2025/11/26

It would appear that Black Desert has been infected with all of the mobile gaming brain worms, as Pearl Abyss is queuing up pre-registration for the sandbox MMORPG’s next class. Why is this a thing? Is the studio gauging interest in yet another giant sword lady? How badly do you need Advice of Valks? These […]

2025/11/26

Are you a fan of indie MMORPGs, sci-fi, and a whole bunch of exclamation points? If so, we point your eyeballs toward Rixa, an upcoming indie MMORPG from the team at NOT ANOTHER 2D PLATFORMER STUDIOS. Yes, that’s the studio name. Yes, it’s in all caps. That (let’s call it) spirit is maintained throughout the […]

2025/11/26

OK, so who had March 2nd on the World of Warcraft Midnight expansion going live? Pretty much nobody, actually, but hey, at least it won’t conflict with the other stuff going on in January or stretch all the way into next summer, which was a possibility. “Prepare to face Xal’atath, the Harbinger and the Void […]

2025/11/26

Hey so remember this past spring when Fractured Online’s Dynamight Studios team got bought out by a new studio called Happy Cauldron Games, which sounded scary at first until it became obvious that HCG and its boss, Duncan “TaNaHaRa” Davis, were actually serious about trying to rescue the MMORPG? And better yet, it wasn’t going […]

2025/11/26

If you were really hoping that before Pioner hit early access the fact that it’s not “Pioneer” would stop bothering you… well, it has very little time left to stop bothering you, as the game is heading into early access on December 16th, meaning it will make its planned 2025 launch. The latest press release from […]
