Massively Overpowered

I read the news today, oh boy. Tencent has bought out all of Funcom's stuff. This is pretty significant; it's yet another thing being gobbled up by Tencent (which you may recall has some pretty hefty investments in the online space), and it raises the specter of a dark fate befalling Funcom in a way that hasn't been raised...

Have you ever wanted to be in Avatar The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra? While you can't become a part of the series themselves, you can experience a moment of your favorite characters thanks to SMITE. (As long as your favorite characters are Aang, Zuko, or Korra, that is.) Massively OP's MJ is jumping into the MOBA...

Seeking a simpler and more quaint life? Then come on down to the farm with the Battle Bards, as the video game music crew looks at pastoral themes from MMORPGs! From stereotypical-sounding tracks to enchanting discoveries, this episode is all about tilling the fields, living off the land, and loving the music that floats above it all. Battle Bards is a...

Care for another round of MMOs you've likely never heard of? Sure you are. You've got nothing else going on until a certain shadowy land expansion hits, right? Right. Let's get started. We first begin with War Nomad a heavily in-development MMO that's described by the game's creator as a "small & buggy planet-based space stickman MMORPG with open-world PvP."...

Games can (and should) be for everyone, regardless of things like gender identity, race, or even age. That said, there are certain challenges to making a game for older players, which is the topic of a GamesIndustry write-up from William Taht, a 16-year veteran of mobile game dev who has previously worked on games like Angry Birds and currently...

Ever show up late to the party but wanted to throw your hands in the air like you just don't care in spite of that? That might be what Primordials of Amyrion is feeling like. It's a new MOBA arriving to early access on both EGS and Steam on October 6th, with a closed beta set to kick off...

Having a pet in Mabinogi will be quite a bit different with the next planned update. Dubbed the P.E.T. update (which stands for Pawsitively Elite Training), players will get access to the Power of the Fynn and unlock all-new Fynn Pets, which is earned when players fuse their main pet with other pets using Fynn Sync. What makes a pet...

So, who wanted a new mobile MMO? What if I tell you it's stuffed with retro graphics and is a bit different from the usual fare getting slapped with the label MMORPG and pushed out into the wilds of Google Play? This one's called Bit Legends, and Chinese studio TDH-Publisher is calling it a "retro pixelated wasteland filled with...

Have you ever been sitting down to play Dota 2 and found yourself saying to an empty room, "This is fun, but I really wish this were more of a roguelike game akin to the Diablo series"? If so... you shouldn't say that, it's weird to say these things to otherwise empty rooms. Also, you shouldn't say it because...

Remember Spellbreak? It's a battle royale title that we first highlighted when it was in pre-alpha testing in October 2018. Its whole shtick is that players fling spells at one another to determine who's top of the heap instead of firing guns.
