I love a good ol' fashioned product campaign. Buy a pizza, get a free Call of Duty skin (we drove halfway across Glasgow for that one); buy a boba tea, get a free Final Fantasy 14 cosmetic (I stopped us driving to Birmingham for that one) - there's something fun about seeing your favorite game on a Burger King bag or a Subway sandwich. Sure, it's capitalism at its finest, but bluntly, we all like free things. The latest such crossover is a new Pringles and Xbox campaign, which lets you grab four free rewards for some of the best PC games out there. There's gear for Fallout 76, The Outer Worlds 2, Sea of Thieves, and, of course, World of Warcraft, and I want all of them right now.

The last few years have been quiet on the legal issues in games, but in true 2025 fashion, this year was a legal drama-llama. Granted, maybe a little bit more on the “Ally McBeal” side of legal drama than the “Matlock.” But hey, I’m here for it. From corporate-facepalm shenanigans to Roblox spending another year […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

World of Warcraft's Midnight expansion finally has a full release date. It'll arrive on March 2nd, 2026, setting in stone the new player housing that's debuting in early access this December and bringing forth the bunch of other changes planned alongside its main invasion storyline.

That list of changes includes the introduction of a new premium currency call Hearthsteel, which you'll need top use to buy a "small fraction" of the house-related bits and bobs being added in with Midnight. Why? Reasons, Blizzard have said.

Ahhh… can you smell that new house scent? It’s an aroma laced with fragrances of potential, creativity, and belonging. That’s right, player housing is now a reality in World of Warcraft, and although this is only early access and the initial iteration of the system, there’s a ton of room for players to claim and […]

If you anticipated that the debut of player housing in World of Warcraft would be a hot mess, then prepare to be validated because it totally was. Last night’s launch of Patch 11.2.7 prompted a predictable stampede of players who couldn’t teleport into the housing district or change neighborhoods for lengthy periods of time. Bugs […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

I've been with my partner for almost four years now, and one of the games we initially bonded over was Final Fantasy 14. She was a pugilist, he was... also a pugilist: can it get anymore obvious? While we've spent hours meandering through Eorzea, taking in the sights and punching beasties on the nose, we've never quite cemented our in-game relationship by getting married. It's a system that's dear to the hearts of many, and one that few other MMOs replicate. But eagle-eyed World of Warcraft players have spotted that we can take our smooching to the next level as part of Midnight's housing update.

World of Warcraft Midnight is pulling out the rug from combat addons, as Blizzard dramatically shakes up what information mod creators are allowed to access and work with. It's a change that transforms the look of one of the best MMORPGs forever, made in pursuit of bringing a halt to the 'arms race' between encounter designers and modders. However, it also means the end of the line for some of the best WoW addons, including tremendously popular framework WeakAuras. Since the launch of the WoW Midnight beta, Blizzard has continued to loosen its restrictions, but the development team behind the mod say the changes aren't enough to reverse its stance.
