February is a time for lovers, a time for cuddling, and of course a time for Mabinogi players to take stock of their wings and whether or not they are enchanted optimally. That last one might not feel like it is quite traditional, but the quality-of-life patch that the game has just dropped adds a number of […]

Have you ever had that moment when you and another car are racing to get the last parking spot near a store? Have you thought to yourself that this would make for a great video game if it also featured rockets and collisions and the mechanics of musical chairs? If so, well, maybe you are […]

For many years now, we (or one of our writers, if we’re being honest) have noted that Final Fantasy XI has been mostly treating its annual holidays by turning on familiar events and letting players enjoy them. This is true, as the game is mature and has plenty of events as it is. But the Doll […]

Amidst all the drama surrounding Highguard, you could be forgiven for potentially forgetting that the game is actually… like… playable. You can play it right now. And while it’s promising another new game mode soon, the newest patch features a new base in the form of Cloudreach that allows both elevated nests for snipers to use […]

Mercenary Plate is just too darn good in Mortal Online 2. That isn’t intentional, but it is how things have shaken out, hence why the next patch that’s going into public testing on February 25th will involve stat normalization for plate armor. No one wants to pick armor that’s just not going to be good in […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
