Helldivers 2 pushes back the release of its next warbond to give it ‘more time to cook’
Back in March, Helldivers 2 laid out a content roadmap that reached through June that promised, among other things, a new warbond battle pass that would land every month.

Indie MMO Eterspire’s last patch of June implements proper MMORPG guild functionality
It’s patch day for Eterspire, and if you’re thinking didn’t Eterspire just get a big patch, the answer is yes. Eterspire gets a lot of patches, and we’re pretty sure Stonehollow Workshop does not sleep.

Ragnarok Online is getting yet another variant in the form of browser MMO Ragnarok Universe
Oh, Ragnarok Online. How often will you have different versions of yourself like some sort of multiversal entity?

For the last year – longer, really – we’ve been covering the latest conversion of Fractured Online under its latest owners.

Square Enix’s newly opened LA theme cafe offers up stylish food in a grim-looking atmosphere
In our estimation, about 60% of the draw of going to a themed cafe is to soak up the atmosphere; 10% is hoping for cute merch and 30% is bracing for the food to be awful. While we can’t personally speak to the quality of the menu items, we do have to say that the […]

PSA: Dual Universe’s standalone MyDU is on a limited-time sale for 30% off
It’s been nearly a full calendar year since Dual Universe, the kickstarted sandbox MMORPG that leaned in to custom-built ships and bases, was sunsetted by developer Novaquark, but not before it got a player server-hosted version called MyDU. This one is back in the headlines out of nowhere because it’s running a limited-time sale for itself on a storefront […]

Wisdom of Nym: Why do so many of Final Fantasy XIV’s base jobs struggle with identity?
As Evercold approaches for Final Fantasy XIV, I hope that everyone is ready to have a new version of Monk, Dragoon, Bard, and Summoner. At the very least. When I speculated on the jobs I expect to be the most different in Evolved mode, those were all in the crosshairs, and they’re not really alone. Three of those […]

Blizzard moves ahead with its Project Ascension rogue server lawsuit by sending motion summons requests

Riot Games unveils plans for League of Legends Classic after datamining leaks spring forth
One could certainly argue that datamining spoils a lot of the surprises that game developers might have in store, but in the case of Riot Games, it elected to go ahead and lean into the leaks that dataminers unearthed in League of Legends’ public beta environment (PBE) by officially confirming League of Legends Classic. Several datamined leaks […]
