Welcome to the long weekend. Let's enjoy the three-day holiday.

Welcome back to Make My MMO, MOP’s long-running column where we keep track of crowdfunded MMOs, both brand-new titles just starting their campaigns and older games long past their fundraising! It started out a bit of a nail-biter, but it looks as if God Mode Games’ Hollowed Oath will pull off its Kickstarter after all. […]

With LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight out now, the Shacknews staff is looking back at our favorite LEGO games.

Fun fact: Unicornalia, RIFT’s festival that celebrated these majestic beasts with one horn and a ‘tude, debuted all the way back in August 2015. Since then, the event has returned at least once a year (and sometimes more) to the delight of fans of this mythological creature. That’s all to say that Unicornalia is rearing […]

One of the most requested horror movie icons of all time is finally coming to Dead by Daylight in June 2026.

Though I champion VPN services as perfectly legitimate privacy tools and totally understand why people use them, I've encountered a number of people who think that they're quite dodgy, or possibly even illegal. It's services like First VPN which reinforce this negative reputation - so I'm glad it was shut down this week.

Once again, we’re opening this Tree of Savior news story by pointing out that there are technically two global variants of the MMOARPG: the one operated by original developer IMCGames, which is still running to this day, and the version operated by Papaya Play, which has announced that it will be closing up shop on Tuesday, June 16th.

Before Massively OP’s MJ was sidetracked by pets and pet battles in No Man’s Sky, she had embarked on the mission to earn the assembly pieces for underwater bases at no cost. For just a little time and effort she won’t have to pay to unlock those building blueprints! OK, maybe more than a little […]

A new Deadlock update is here, and as ever the Valve MOBA is packing in plenty of changes. This is largely more of a balance pass than anything, but there are a couple of particularly notable extras. The first is an experimental redesign for the Soul Urn, which the developer is eager to hear your feedback on, and the second is a new Vitality item, Grit. Alongside that, the latest Deadlock patch notes are filled with number adjustments across heroes and items, plus some smaller tweaks designed to

Who doesn’t have fun making a ranking list in an enjoyable game or hobby every now and then? I was thinking about all of Lord of the Rings Online’s weapon types lately (my inner life is pretty dull, I guess!) and thought about how some of these tend to be heavily favored by the community […]

Plus, in-game social media! New island! Mario Kart mode!

Thank god for that!Read the full article on pushsquare.com

It's finally official: Jason Voorhees is the new Dead by Daylight Killer. One of the most iconic figures in horror history is finally stepping into The Fog to mark the tenth anniversary of DBD. Behaviour Interactive certainly made us wait for it, however. The developer suggested players should "tune in" to its YouTube and Twitch channels for a special announcement, but the time it gave was rather too early. Those who turned up expecting a quick reveal found themselves facing what ended up as a n

There are arguably few game developers in our sphere of interest have as much insight into what can make an MMORPG tick than Jack Emmert, the man behind a wide assortment of Cryptic MMOs who now helms the company once again following the shutdown of his own studio by Netease. So when he had some opinions […]

And do you see anything topping it?Forza Horizon 6 is finally here, and well, we can't stop playing it. Despite having access to the game for weeks before launch, we're still hopping on every day - crashing through Tokyo and exploring Japan's quaint countryside locales to our hearts' content. Honestly, what a game!Forza Horizon 6 feels like it's setting the tone for what could be a fantastic year of games for Xbox's 25th anniversary, with some of the company's biggest franchises to come in the s

Forget to redeem these new Survive Homelander codes like they're a shot of Compound V, and you won't stand much of a chance against Vought's godlike abomination. Survive Homelander is an asymmetric multiplayer Roblox game in which one character gets to strike fear into half a dozen others. Ready to defend against those trying to defame him, whoever rolls Homelander inherits the simple task of taking down those willing to stick themselves to unlock the powers needed to match the mutant's power.
