Massively Overpowered

We’re now in week three of Elder Scrolls Online’s current PTS, and this third week brings with it testing of the two new solo dungeons planned for this fall: Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices. If these dungeon names sound familiar to you, that’s because they’re both older dungeons. Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices […]

It might sound like the most American thing on the planet, going to McDonald’s to get some in-game goodies, but no, this promotion being run by Xbox and the fast food mega-giant is specifically for our friends in the UK and Ireland: Side Missions are back once again. For those who aren’t familiar, this promo ran last year […]

The Y3S2 update for Skull and Bones adds a new option for players. That option is your Junk. Your Junk is quite large, and it shines in groups when your Junk can really go to town. It’s a damage-focused ship, so you shouldn’t let your Junk take the lead, but your Junk is hot (because […]

Back in August 19th, 2025, Black Desert Mobile merged several regions into one “united server” as a way to draw players from these areas together for activities (and likely for population reasons). Now, it looks as if Pearl Abyss is looking to celebrate that server merging with five weeks of events between now and Tuesday, September 22nd. […]

A few weeks back, my husband was playing Overwatch when he ran across a character named BreadDoctor, which happened to be particularly timely as he’d just that morning decided to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. But the rolls won; they refused to rise. So my husband decided to clown in chat, asking BreadDoctor how to […]

Massively OP’s MJ is a little annoyed that she can’t play Warframe’s Fables & Frontiers tabletop game yet, so she needs to let off some steam. And she’ll be doing that by beating the heat — and Grineer heads — with a weaponized pool noodle during Dog Days. MJ will also soothe her soul with […]

Torebia: Island Odyssey, the indie MMORPG from developer Twin Studios that we’ve been peeking in on since this past March, is primed and ready to kick off yet another testing round, and this one promises to be “[its] biggest playtest yet” as heralded by the devs. Twin Studios is pushing for this test to stress its […]

For those who like to rumble in the semi-persistent war MMO that is Foxhole, this Tuesday, August 18th, is going to be bringing on a whole slew of updates to the experience, whether it’s to flight, forecasting, or to quality-of-life features. There’s a little something for just about everyone, really. First off, there will be a bunch […]

We’re back to once more check in on SpiritVale and its early access progress, which as readers likely recall got off to a pretty bumpy start and only just recently brought its busted trade system back online. Now, it looks as if indie studio Baikun Interactive is dealing with the evergreen problem of bots and providing an overall look […]

Whenever an MMORPG decides to focus on its gathering and crafting, we tend to appreciate it. If you happen to be among those who are of the life skilling persuasion in Mabinogi, then you might appreciate the game’s recent New Life update too, as it seeks to add “deeper progression, meaningful specialization, and new ways to […]

If you’re on the outside looking in at EVE Online, you might be thrown off by the sandbox’s HUD. Sure, it’s appropriately sci-fi tech-y, but maybe all of those half-circles and pips at the center don’t immediately convey what’s going on. This will evidently be a main focus for Fenris Creations going forward, as the studio […]

If MOP’s Chris’ hands-on with the Stormlight Archive-inspired co-op RPG Stormforge sounded like a storm you want to fling yourself into this week, we’ve gotchu covered: Roboto Games has granted us keys for the demo – before its public debut tomorrow. “The Stormforge demo lets players test the character creation with three available classes (Warrior, […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned playing the number of survival sandboxes and survival RPGs that I have, it’s that there is a pretty broad spectrum of general experiences they offer. Sometimes they’re laid back and colorful. Sometimes they’re hard-bitten. Sometimes they’re full of horror. Other times it’s whimsy. My brief time within Stormforge, the […]

Yep, just as with other games in our genre, we’re finding out that we’ll have to report on multiple versions and forks of the same MMO, specifically MapleStory, which has headlines for the primary 2-D title as well as its multiplayer idle game MapleStory: Idle RPG and UGC platform MapleStory Worlds. We’ll begin with Idle RPG’s most recent patch, […]

It’s time for news out of the games that are not quite EVE Online but are at least adjacent or connected to it, which is a long-winded way of saying we’re reporting on the blockchain survival MMO EVE Frontier and the still-unreleased extraction FPS module EVE Vanguard. But then you knew that by the headline. We’ll begin with Frontier, […]

This week in Old School RuneScape appears to be primarily fixated on its partnered livestreamers, so if you’re looking for some more update-centric news, you kinda clicked on the wrong link. Otherwise, here are some influencer-led community events that might be of interest to you. First is the PvP Bootcamp that’s running between now and September 26th, […]

Thanks to the most recent fan festival, Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XIV is getting not one but two crossover raid series in the Evercold patch sequence. Both our alliance raid and normal raid will be crossovers with other properties. This sucks! I am not happy about that! I also am happy about it and […]

The last time we heard from the Eternal Tombs project, it was back in March when the indie team at Triune Studios ran a public test. Now we have a welcome word about the future of this hardcore MMORPG — including when you’ll be able to play it for yourself. Triune posted a short letter […]

Good news everybody! The same legislative body that once tried to crack down on Doom is attempting to safeguard the youth of the nation against [checks] Roblox. We might kid, but considering how scummy the multi-game platform’s been in recent years, it’s actually heartening to see such high-level heat come down on it. PC Gamer […]

We’ve all heard and experienced strange bugs that pop up in MMORPGs, but this may be one of the odder stories of a strange digital slip-up. Following the release of this past week’s Patch 12.1 for World of Warcraft, players are reporting incidences where their friends characters persist online after the person disconnects — and […]
