2025/10/11

Earlier this week, MMORPG fans were reminded of the baked-in cruelty of the games industry when they learned NetEase was pulling its funding from Fantastic Pixel Castle, which in turn left the studio’s developing MMO Project Ghost in the lurch. Studio head Greg Street minced no words in the announcement, stating that if a publisher […]

2025/10/11

I know it’s hard, but please put aside any thoughts of costumes and fashion today because beauty is skin-deep, and that’s where we’re going to focus. Your character’s face, skin tone, hairstyle (and color), body shape, and meticulously applied scar can be just the thing to stand out in a crowd and appeal greatly to […]

What draws Massively OP’s MJ to take a look at a game? It can be any number of things that draws her attention. In the case of Cloudheim, first it was the name of the studio: Noodle Cat Games. How can she not be interested? Then the hilarious open beta announcement cinched it. She grabbed […]

2025/10/10

It’s probably not a big surprise that the next season in Overwatch 2 is going all-in on the Halloween thematics, given that it’s arriving on Tuesday, October 14th. But then that also does mean that the shooter will be marking the festivities of fright in its own way, both in expected and new forms, as […]

2025/10/10

We sincerely hope that you did not have a lot of emotional investment staked in the early access Hyper Light Breaker because as of this week, the online co-op sci-fi RPG is at least partly throwing in the towel.

2025/10/10

Over the course of this past summer and into September, Jagex has taken steps to address its self-described overbearing monetization problem by running what it calls “MTX experiments” in RuneScape. These temporary tests ran versions of the MMORPG with adjustments like removed lockboxes, removed cosmetics, and directly buyable older items. Now the experimentation is over, […]

I do always wonder about the crossover appeal that major shooters have for MMORPG players, but in case you’re into the epic shootymans adventures, know that Battlefield 6 has officially arrived. “The year is 2027, and the world is on the edge of chaos,” Electronic Arts’ press release says without a shred of introspection. “The […]

A part of me feels bad that I’m not more invested in the next couple updates on deck for Warframe. Not that I need to be; of course I will be playing through the content added with them, just as I did with Isleweaver (which I did think was pretty thin). I’m just not really excited […]
