Hello and Happy New Year - is it okay to say that now? I'm not sure where the cut-off point is. Some people still have their Christmas trees up. We had ours out before New Year. Welcome back to What We've Been Playing! Or as I like to call this particular edition of it: What We Played Over Christmas, because it's been a couple of weeks since we've talked.

We've been hearing rumblings of a full-blown remake of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag for the longest time now. After Skull & Bones' troubled development, those current-gen assets could boost the production of such a project, so the idea never sounded too far-fetched. We've yet to receive official news on it though. Now, a new Raid: Shadow Legends event has got hungry Assassin's Creed fans all hot under the collar.

Final Fantasy 14 has released its latest Savage-tier raid today, pushing the game's best and brightest to race through this new challenge group content to earn powerful loot and see which region can take it down first.

Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing.

In Japan, Fallout 1st subscriptions have suddenly been stripped from accounts without any warning, and they might not be coming back.

The post Fallout 1st Removed From Player Accounts After Being ‘Mistakenly Available’ For 18 Months appeared first on Insider Gaming.

This past November, Frontier Developments provided a general outline of updates coming through December 2025 and into early 2026 for Elite: Dangerous, including the intriguing arrival of operations, a repeatable multi-step encounter for up to four players that blends ship combat and FPS combat that’s slated to arrive early this year. We now have a […]

No time for love, Doctor Jones, but there’s always time to plunder a newly discovered ancient tomb in Star Wars: The Old Republic! We begin our One Shots column today wheezing and coughing at all of the dust that Lucky Jinx kicked up in the latest pursuit of some Sith Artifact or maybe a Hello […]

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 […]

The informational hits keep on coming for Elder Scrolls Online’s big ol’ March content patch, and while most of the attention has been centered on its seasons and monetization reshuffling, there’s a variety of things also landing in Update 49, namely a refresh of the Dragonknight class. The tweaks to the Dragonknight primarily focus on […]

So 2025 marks the 11th year in a row when we have put together a roundup of all the MMORPG-tinged science topics we covered this year, and I’m noticing two trends worth pointing out. First, the number of MMORPGs that are running polls and surveys to actually ask their players what they think about things […]

Yesterday was the official start of 10th anniversary celebrations for Blade & Soul here in our corner of the world, and NCsoft marked the occasion with a celebratory livestream that primarily focused on looking back at the game’s decade of operation with various devs and its players but also looked forward to a couple of […]

We’re not usually in the business of promoting cash shop anything – if you spend in an MMORPG, that’s your call – but we also would be remiss if we didn’t call attention to an opportunity to get free cash shop currency for simply logging in to a game too. That’s just what’s being offered […]

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 […]

Welcome back to MassivelyOP’s annual awards for one more special honoree. Readers will remember that a few years ago, we decided to institute a lifetime achievement award specifically to honor an MMORPG that has made a significant contribution to the genre over the course of its lifetime and the genre’s history but may not be […]

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 […]

While Massively OP’s MJ was interested in checking out Where Winds Meet when it first appeared, its 100+ GB download made her hesitate. Now, she’s made some room (sorry other games!) and is poised to delve right in. MJ is eager to experience the beauty of the world. She even saw that there is a […]

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 […]
