2026/04/26

Are you currently playing Blue Protocol: Star Resonance? If your answer to that question is, “no, because the game has not crossed over with a property I like enough to play it,” would you be inspired to play it because of a Monogatari crossover? Because that is happening. Obviously, if your response to that is “what […]

The ongoing war in EVE Online continued this week, bringing the server to its knees: “The war between WinterCo and Imperium shows no signs of slowing down!” CCP Games chortled.

Over the last year, we’ve been keeping an eye on Shiro Games’ Farever, a super cute co-op action RPG that is set to hit early access next week. In fact, the game has just rolled ut its “last major update” and a server reset before that May 6th day hits. “With this update we open […]

2026/04/26

Throughout the ebbs and flows of my MMO experiences, I’ve found my patience for the genre slowly eroding over time as the thousandth NPC asks for help on the millionth task in a never-ending cycle of corruption, cleansing, evil incursion, and ingredient-gathering. The one exception – though it’s not immune to these tropes – is […]

2026/04/26

Pax Dei studio Mainframe Industries knows it’s been quiet, and it’s resurfaced on Discord at the end of the week here to acknowledge that and tell players what’s going on. It’s not really all that dramatic or unexpected, given the smaller size of the team now, but there’s also some ambition at play. “Following the […]

2026/04/26

Who here loves long walks on the beach? Oh, we’re gamers, we’d rather be home playing in virtual worlds… and taking virtual walks on the beach. With our horses. Justin, this is the worst first paragraph you’ve ever written. Moving on. Zoward brings us this view, saying, “I caught this sunrise when I came out […]

2026/04/26

On some level, I am kind of sad that I don’t have my old World of Warcraft boxes sitting around. Now, I know why I don’t have them; it’s no mystery, I got rid of them. If I am going to be sentimental about things I put up for display, those things are going to be plastic […]

The past week in Star Citizen has mostly been about teases and hints, with the usual roadmap roundup providing some early info for the next alpha build and a recent Twitter video promising what looks like a new spin on an annual free fly event.

Who here can afford a weekend in Germany to hang out with a bunch of Elder Scrolls Online players at a castle? Wait, you can? Well if that’s the case, then you’ll probably want to know that the annual ESO Tavern in-person meet-and-greet event is selling tickets now. In exchange, we’d like to know if your […]

2026/04/25

Like a colorful parrot playing peek-a-boo, Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm has reappeared from out of nowhere, dropped a new patch for long-time fans, and decided to flutter away again. Possibly while having a nice gremlin-y giggle. This new patch introduces several map changes like the return of the Garden of Terror to custom games, the […]

2026/04/25

What makes an explorer’s heart happy? New areas to roam, of course! And Planet Crafter has a new biome to check out, and Massively OP’s MJ is raring to go. It makes you wonder how she managed to refrain from doing so already. Hint: It wasn’t easy! But now she can go full throttle, so […]

2026/04/25

If I had to choose two words that explain why I love gaming so much, they would have to be Zealots and Paladins. I didn’t learn these words from school, you know. I learned them from Blizzard. Zealots were the first combat unit available to the Protoss in Starcraft, and while Paladins were in Warcraft 2, […]

No, Genshin Impact didn’t just sneeze all over your monitor — but you can bless the game for giving you its Snezhnaya region this summer. That’s because HoYoverse announced that the gacha RPG is prepped to deliver the new zone on August 12th. “The Nation of Cryo is finally coming in what is a narrative […]

2026/04/25

Maybe it’s the ECT, or Goldshire Inn, or the fountain in Limsa Lominsa, or Atlas Plaza, or right outside of the Prancing Pony, but most of our favorite MMORPGs have at least one spot where players naturally gather together. It’s always a good time, with chatter, and fashion displays, trades, and even band performances. So […]

If you blink, you will miss new stuff in AdventureQuest 3D. And Massively OP’s MJ blinked! She hadn’t even worked on the void rifts in Greenguard and Heartwood yet, and now a new mini-saga has started.

2026/04/24

The PvP in Throne and Liberty’s Floating Elf Gardens has undergone some pretty significant changes with the game’s most recent patch, although the patch has not altered the amount of floating or elves. It has lowered the victory score to 120,000, but players also no longer acquire points for grabbing Forging Energy, only when delivering it. The […]
