Betawatch: The Wagadu Chronicles is gearing up for early access this year
We still do not have a firm date for The Wagadu Chronicles hitting early access; all we know is that it's still on track to be some time this year, and it's gearing up with a trailer for same. It definitely looks interesting! So I think I speak for all of me when I say that I really want...

Black Desert shares details of its upcoming War of the Roses PvP mode in new video
War is coming to Black Desert, or perhaps more accurately, more war is coming to the MMORPG in the form of the 300v300 War of the Roses mode, which is one of the primary talking points of a new video from Pearl Abyss.

EVE Fanfest 2023: The EVE Online FPS is back as EVE Vanguard this December
It's safe to say that EVE Online has a complicated history with first person shooters. The idea of stepping foot on the planets of New Eden has been part of the game's long-term vision for over a decade, but it's never quite worked out. First appearing as FPSMMO DUST 514 back in 2013, EVE's first foray into first person...
Massively on the Go: Pokemon Go’s October events are early with tricks if not treats
Pokemon Go news this month feels like Christmas. We usually don't get news until days before the new month starts, if that. But this time, our trusty leaker has been joined by a second leaker, which Niantic may be trying to head off or disprove with its early drop of October details.
While it's nice to see some of the...
RuneScape outlines initial plans to address its deeply unpopular Hero Pass monetization
The end of August saw Jagex elect to burn up some of the goodwill between itself and RuneScape players with the reveal of a Hero Pass, a battle pass-style form of monetization that immediately set off fury among players of the MMORPG even as Jagex launched the thing anyway. Shortly afterwards, the studio admitted that it messed up and...
Global Chat: Coming around on WoW Classic’s hardcore mode
With World of Warcraft Hardcore Classic out for a month now, it's continuing to show no quarter while it captures the interest of prior doubters. We may consider The Ancient Gaming Noob as one of these dubious souls who's since come around on the tension and fun of this mode.
"Add in the flip side of Deathlog, that in addition...

The long shoving match between Microsoft and the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) looks to be nearing its final stretch.

Vague Patch Notes: So what actually kills MMO communities?
Since we're busy getting a front-row seat to World of Warcraft adding the dungeon finder again, only this time it's WoW Classic, we are also getting a front-row seat to That Guy coming out of the woodwork. That Guy (who is not to be confused with That Man) is the one who is always quick to tell you that...
Baldur’s Gate 3 launches its third major patch today with Mac support and appearance changing
So you made your character in Baldur's Gate 3 to play with your friends, and you were very proud of your red dragonkin with green highlights. You even had a backstory for him. But then as soon as you started playing together, one of your friends said, "Why are you playing as the Christmas Dragon?" And now you can't...
The Division 3 is happening, but it’s going to be a while before we see it
It's official: Ubisoft is moving ahead on making The Division 3.
This seems like a no-brainer, really, when you consider how popular its apocalyptic shooter series has been, but it's still good to hear of The Division's continuation. The studio is putting Star Wars Outlaws' Julian Gerighty at the head of a new team that's being assembled right now.
"This announcement...

The Daily Grind: Do you complain about MMO buyables – and then buy them anyway?
During EG7's investor pitch video this week, Daybreak boss Ji Ham said something that leaped out at me. He was essentially trying to convince investors that gaming companies could make bank by emulating the business models of teams behind games like Madden, Call of Duty, and FIFA, which crank out sequels constantly with only slight modifications over the previous...
