Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen has been using several weeks to post blogs, lore, and design previews of its update due in February, but none of them provided a release date beyond… well, February. As of the MMORPG’s most recent post, we now have a release window of sometime next week as it goes through internal testing, […]

It takes all kinds for internet spaceship sandboxes like Star Citizen to hum, and one of those kinds is the industrialist player: the rock cruncher, the space trucker, the material and manufacturing magnate. If you’ve felt as if this aspect of the game is lacking, then maybe some planned updates from CIG will ease your […]

I said it, and I’m actually going to deliver on it this time: I’m bringing you back to another round of Eldegarde. That’s Notorious Studios’ recent mini-MMO, which primarily plays as an extraction RPG. And yet it has so many features that MMO players love to see that it’s been self-dubbed a mini-MMO. The game […]

Hey, who likes a weekend patch? Well, too bad because you’re getting another one in Project Gorgon this weekend as the tiny crew at Elder Game is busy busy busy. “[W]e are once again looking at a weekend patch update, which sucks for everyone! But there are some important fixes that need to go live,” […]

Last week, YouTuber Ross Scott shared an update on the Stop Killing Games movement and its upcoming visit to the European Union Commission, which will see the campaign officially provide the over one million signatures of a citizens initiative as well as provide representatives an opportunity to talk with the Commission about the shutdown of […]

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, […]

Every once in a while, into my inbox launches a game so ridiculous I just have to write it up, and today, that game is Roombattle, a “six-player vacuum-party-battler” that could not be winking harder about its very obvious pun name. Spanish developer Dust Games announced this afternoon that it’s launching March 25th, with a […]

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 […]

Hey, remember Time Takers? Probably not, so here’s a recap: NCsoft announced it’d be publishing a “time survival” shooter back at the end of 2024, and last summer at Gamescom, it revealed the game as Time Takers. It sort of got overshadowed because NCsoft announced Cinder City (an actual MMO shooter) at the same show, […]

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 […]

We’ve all been there. You’re dragging yourself through another so-so gaming year, playing the same old titles, all while telling yourself that it’s about to get a lot more interesting, because a game you’ve been eyeing should come out before too long. And almost as if you jinxed a cosmic trickster, the next day you […]

Last year we started peeking in on Towerborne, a side-scrolling multiplayer online “looter brawler” from developer Stoic Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game started life in paid-for early access and was angling for a free-to-play release. MOP’s Sam found the game to be right up his arcade-loving alley, and we even streamed […]

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 […]

After rescuing Ana in Dungeons & Dragons Online, everyone now knows that she’s the very Thread of the Weave that the drow have been looking for at the command of Lolth. So the drow are gathering for an all-out attack on the village of Eveningstar to recapture her. Massively OP’s MJ will assist the Purple […]

Back in 2024 we first started reporting on Starship Simulator, an in-development multiplayer spaceship sim from indie Fleetyard Studios that pretty much offers precisely what a game of its name suggests. The title had a pretty successful Kickstarter round, raising nearly $500K, while development updates have been offered since, along with the release of a […]

While the indie devs at Loftia studio Qloud Games initially thought that it only would take three months to build the game from scratch, the truth is that it’s taken over three years (and 28 additional developers) to bring this Kickstarted solarpunk MMO to bear. Tackling the question of Loftia’s release schedule, the team said that […]

What would it take for you to check out Black Desert on the PlayStation 5 system? Maybe a lady knight who swishes a big ol’ sword around? Or perhaps you’d prefer to play for free? Well for a limited time, you’re getting both of those things, as the sandbox MMORPG is indeed completely free-to-play on […]

The fact that ARC Raiders’ use of generative AI development tools for its creation, particularly for its voice work, is a sticky wicket for many shouldn’t come as a surprise in the age of rising slop tides. Still, Embark Studios CEO Patrick Soderlund is not backing down and continues to defend the decision in an […]

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 was the starting gun’s firing for Past Fate’s early access, and it looks as if the sandbox MMORPG’s first steps were pretty stumbling indeed, as the game has been beset by a wide assortment of bugs, some of which are literally causing new arrivals to not progress whatsoever. Both the game’s bug reporting Discord […]
