Summer Game Fest has already been going for five days now, but tonight we’re getting to the flagshippiest of the flagship events of the festival when Geoff Keighley’s keynote kicks off at 5 p.m. EDT with reveals and ads and things that are kinda both. MMORPG fans, of course, are most anxiously awaiting the big […]

The terror is real — but so is the anticipation for Dungeons and Dragons Online’s big summer expansion. The second round of testing for Terror of Demogorgon is happening from now through Friday afternoon as SSG puts Update 80 through its paces. While it doesn’t look as though this test includes playable adventures, it does […]

What better way to warm up while wandering Throne and Liberty’s Frozen Divide: Nix update than with some hot PvP action? If that’s the sort of thing you’re in to, then you’ll want to know more about Remnants of Nix, the new PvP zone that will be coming online with the expansion’s arrival. Described as a zone that’s […]

If you’ve been playing MMORPGs as long as I have, you surely you remember that enormous uproar that consumed the Ultima Online community long, long ago when EA bumped the game’s subscription fee from $10 to $13. (It was mid-2003, if you’re wondering, and it happened right after Age of Shadows, aka UO’s NGE, launched. […]

It’s time once more to share headlines from Blizzard games that aren’t World of Warcraft! In today’s edition, we’ve got another tweak to the Overwatch 10th anniversary event, and information about the next Hearthstone expansion. We’ll begin with the anniversary event adjustments, which specifically address the long and apparently grueling grind for a specific title. […]

Just because there’s a big question mark looming over the long-term future of 2019’s WoW Classic doesn’t mean that there aren’t things to do in the meanwhile. Adventurers going through the Mists of Pandaria expansion can look forward to Escalation coming out soon, especially considering that it went up on the PTR this week. “The […]

We’ve been chuckling in the Massively OP office over Blizzard’s insanely packed infodump that it’s been doing this week for World of Warcraft’s Midnight expansion. Instead of one or maybe two items per day, it’s been a minimum of four rushed posts, and last night was no exception. The infodump period may be winding down, […]

Remember back in January when EverQuest franchise players were miffed that Daybreak had decided to skip a roadmap for EverQuest and EverQuest II in 2026, out of a stated desire to avoid “redundancy”? At the time, Daybreak’s Jenn Chan said that the studio would still be putting out its traditional two game updates and an […]

There’s a lot to wrap your head around in regard to World of Warcraft’s upcoming Midnight expansion, including what’s the deal with its new allied race and Prey system. Fortunately for us, Blizzard posted a couple of informative overviews of both of these features in case you’re a little behind the curve. The Haranir allied […]

If your first thought when hearing about Marathon’s March 5th release date was how that would immediately clash with Destiny 2’s plans for a major update for Renegades on March 3rd, well good news! It’s not going to get in the way anymore because Bungie is delaying that update for nearly four months. Wait, no, that’s the opposite of […]

James Cameron's big blue aliens are back in theatres in Avatar: Fire and Ash and Ubisoft is piggybacking on the film with some new Avatar content of their own. Not a full new game this time around, but rather a major expansion, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes. This DLC offers a new campaign that introduces the violent Mangkwan tribe from Cameron's latest movie, although it isn't entirely standalone, as you still need to own the base Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game to play it. The expansion arrived shortly after a major Frontiers of Pandora update, which added […]

As I type this, we’re at the top of January and waiting for two events that should be happening in the WoW Classic space this month. The first is the Burning Crusade Anniversary prepatch on January 13th, which will reshape the systems of those servers and open up some more character options. But the second […]

Whether furry, feathery, or scaly, a little pet can offer a boon of companionship, even in a virtual setting. Sure, not everyone’s into collecting and displaying vanity pets, but those people are defective and will be picked up by our thoughtcrimes unit soon for reprogramming. As for the rest of us, let’s boast about and […]

One of WoW Classic’s big movers-and-shakers hinted that he’s deeply involved with some big stuff behind closed doors — projects that might portend to the Classic Plus experience that fans hope to hear announced this year. Josh “Aggrend” Greenfield wrote a lengthy post on Twitter sharing his shift in roles from game production to game […]

So here we are, at the top of a new year, 12 whole months of screwing around in video games laid out before us. In tonight’s Massively Overthinking, we have but one question: What are you gonna do with those 12 months?! I’m asking our writers and readers to rattle off what they think will […]

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 […]

By now, World of Warcraft fans are used to the multi-stage format that Blizzard employs to roll out its expansions. It’s never a one-and-done affair, is it? There’s the prepatch, the launch, and post-launch content and season unlocks. This time around, however, the studio added an extra stage in early December with the debut of […]

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 […]

This first week of December just keeps racking up updates for MMOs and MMO-adjacent games, and that includes Fallout 76, which yesterday rather quietly updated with, you know, Ohio. OK, not all of Ohio – just the southeastern part that serves as the setting for the Burning Springs release. “A new region of the map […]

Classic Guild Wars fans divide neatly into two groups. No, not Kurzick vs. Luxon. No, not heroes or no heroes. No, not runners and runnees. It’s simple: Are you a Spamadan person floating in a sea of trade deals, or are you a kid hanging out in Great Temple of Balthazar international, complaining about your […]
