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 […]

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 […]

As fans of Elder Scrolls Online already know by now, this year is bringing a shift to a seasonal content release model for the MMORPG, including new events, an eventual enfolding of DLC into the game for free, and a business model update that centers on a battle pass system. But what about the benefits […]

You know, for all the MMORPGs we cover here on MassivelyOP, the ones that speak to me personally enough to actually capture my precious free time are few and far between. In 2025, while I at least dipped a toe into a long list of games, the ones I submerged in can be counted on […]

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 […]

MOP’s Chris and his bestie Britarnya are back in Elite: Dangerous this week, especially since the game’s latest update has made some tweaks to on-foot enemies and kicked off a reason for the twosome to undermine and attack rival factions. It’s a stream of shooting, discovery, and some factional subterfuge today at 2:00 p.m. EST! […]

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 […]

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 […]

Plans. Massively OP’s MJ had plans. But those went right out the window when she discovered that Guild Wars 2 has a roller beetle racing event that started today. At first, she could resist; after all, she doesn’t even have a roller beetle yet let alone any masteries completed for it. Then she saw the […]

Are you ready for some hopefully less braindead on-foot enemies in Elite: Dangerous? Then it’s time to test your FPS mettle in any number of combat zones or settlements today because the newest update to the sandbox has brought on some updated behaviors for Odyssey enemies. Ideally, anyway; time and player trials will tell whether […]

Justin and Bree discuss WoW Midnight, Gloria Victis' revival, the Cryptic mess, Neverwinter, and Albion Online, with a run-down of all the cool stuff coming in early December (WoW's housing, LOTRO Kingdoms of Harad, EverQuest Shattering of Ro, Destiny 2 Renegades, Guild Wars Reforged, along with adventures in LOTRO, Guild Wars 2, and WoW, plus a mailbag topic on predatory MMO monetization.

Well, today is the day when Destiny 2 marries Star Wars for reasons: Destiny 2 Renegades is officially live for fans who can make it make sense in their head or just, you know, love the heck out of lightsabers and John Williams-esque music. Which is most of us. “Today, Bungie launches Destiny 2: Renegades, […]

Will today’s Elder Scrolls Online dev blog make Elder Scrolls Online fans happy? Actually, does anything? Let’s find out: This afternoon, ZeniMax Online Studios released a post discussing its planned class revamp, which it says was inspired by player feedback on “pain points” in the class system. Don’t worry; nobody’s using the term “class fantasy.” […]

Pokemon Go’s not perfect, and there’s always something to complain about, but the winter Precious Paths season is certainly looking strong in some ways. Yes, there are some very wrong turns ahead, but there’s enough good to light a fire even in this player’s cold heart. Today’s Massively on the Go is here not just to warn […]

Where were you when you first heard about the original Guild Wars? For me, it was late 2004 when the online gaming world was entranced with World of Warcraft. I was reading through a games magazine that posted a whole spread on this new project that some outfit called ArenaNet was making. What caught my […]

With the revival of Ubisoft-shuttered The Crew earlier this fall with a rogue server called The Crew Unlimited, it really felt like the scoreboard was Players 1, Heartless Gaming Corp 0. But that score could’ve changed drastically in a few years due to a game-ending bug that was tied to the year 2029. In the […]

Massively OP’s MJ delved into Elder Scrolls Online’s Infinite Archives, but she didn’t find everything she was looking for. Her quests include finding Fabled to kill for another soul’s vengeance plus beating more maligraphies to rout out Tho’at Replicanum, the Daedra creating enemies out of books. How dare she desecrate books like that! Tune in […]
