There are some very fun abilities to use in Warframe, but one of my favorite is Mesa’s fourth ability, Peacemaker. In a game full to the brim with guns, a Warframe has an ability that is just “draw more guns.” And it’s actually very useful, arguably up there with any other games the game has to […]

before we go any further, let’s establish some ground rules: the word I shouted was “fjord” I will not explain why I shouted “fjord” the questions about my t-shirt that says “fjord is a mating ritual for me” are all answered by the presence of my t-shirt and I will not answer further questions about […]

I’m not exactly surprising anyone when I say that we here on Massively Overpowered love us some Project Gorgon and we would love it even if it didn’t have a launch date, which it hasn’t for a long time… but it does now! January 28th is the official launch date for the game now, meaning that […]

While Square Enix still plans to make Final Fantasy XI’s Besieged monsters more difficult, there’s something it needs to do first: implement a new set of changes in the next version update. The developers say they are well aware that Besieged currently involves most players camping by the spawn points if they’re geared enough to […]

If you’d enjoyed running around on Ellan Vannin in a peaceful celebration, you’d better get ready for what Dark Age of Camelot has done to the region. That peace has been shattered and players are now faced with an open PvP zone flagging anyone not in your group as an enemy, complete with ruined towers for […]

So if you’ve somehow forgotten about Bless Unleashed, we don’t necessarily blame you. The original version of the game was Bless Online, which launched and then un-launched with shocking alacrity, followed by Bless Unleashed on consoles that later made its way to PCs. But the console version shut down, and the PC version kept going, and then it […]

A week ago, I was talking about Warframe’s Tauron Strikes and noted that they were, at the end of the day, a collection of Win More buttons. And this is something that I stand by: I think they come by that particular distinction honestly, since there needs to be both a reason to get them and […]

With early access fast approaching for Hytale, the game is soon going to be at a point where there is, in fact, a canon and absolute limit for the lore in the game. But before we hit that point, a new entry on the game’s official site takes fans through the team’s approach to lore within […]

Every time people discuss new things they would love to see in long-running MMORPGs, I see at least a few people speculating about things that aren’t just not happening but would fundamentally break the game. And it always makes a little twitch start up right behind my eye. It’s not that I don’t understand the […]

Yesterday, an article from investor website TipRanks circulated throughout the games industry: The rumor was that Microsoft is planning to cut somewhere between 11,000 and 22,000 jobs in January, roughly 10% of its current workforce, to allay the increased cost of data center expansion as part of the company’s hard push toward AI development. If […]

How do you feel about a new scenario in Once Human featuring a gigantic battle with a semi-submerged monstrous entity? The newest preview video from the game’s developer is promising that 2026 will be the “Year of the Monsters,” and not just because the developer quickly gets replaced by a light-headed monster to do the narrating. That […]

Ladies, gentlemen, and those who fit neither category, we pose an important question to you regarding EverQuest II: Why are the elves who help with Frostfell called “Frostfell elves” and not “Frostfelves?” It’s sitting right there? Now you can ponder it to as you help with the plethora of holiday tasks needed to earn new craftables, […]

Welcome to the end of the year, everyone! Somehow we all got here, seriously, and that means it’s time for our annual roundup of stories and events over the last year. I’m sure that some of these will have people saying that they were not surprised by anything that happened over the course of 2025, in […]

Once again, Warframe has begin its annual Tennobaum event, which is still unlike most holiday events. No, really. There are in-game rewards, yes, and it is celebrating this time of the year. But unlike most similar events, this one doesn’t involve your grabbing items in-game and delivering them to gift piles. No, this is about players […]

Warning! Warning! There’s a house in your future! Wait, that sounds perhaps less warning-related than it should with World of Warcraft’s The Warning update landing tonight. But that is a big focus for this patch, right down to articles highlighting how achievements and every era of crafting can feed into finding decorations for your house. “Players who […]

You may not believe this, but I didn’t really want to write this column about Final Fantasy XIV because it is entirely based on a game of telephone that is going to disappoint someone down the line. Let’s take a moment to recap. Back a couple of weeks ago, Naoki Yoshida (producer and director of FFXIV) gave […]

So a while back, in the comment section of one of these columns, a commenter noted that at the end of patch 7.3 in Final Fantasy XIV the Warrior of Light does not actually prove Calyx’s philosophy incorrect. He loses against us, sure, but he doesn’t lose after we systematically tear apart his basic philosophical approach […]

Normally, the second live letter before a major patch in Final Fantasy XIV is when we find out the patch release date. Not so for the next update; we already know that patch 7.4, Into the Mist, will be releasing on December 16th. But we can still see the trailer and more details of upcoming content […]

I would love to see Hollow Knight: Silksong crossover material in an MMORPG. That’s not the same as saying that I want an MMORPG set in that world; while I wouldn’t say no to that, I don’t think it’s inherently necessary. But a crossover in an online game that lets you dress up in masks and shells […]
