Starting on June 25th, The Elder Scrolls Online would like for you to punch your friends. Or punch strangers alongside your friends, whatever works. Yes, it's time for Midyear Mayhem, a PvP-centric event that encourages players to just get into all sorts of player-based donnybrooks. The result? Extra Alliance Points and experience as you smash faces! It's all the...

At the top of the month, which somehow feels like years ago, we covered Frozen Flame, a multiplayer survival RPG with a graphical vibe in line with games like Crowfall, Rend, Dauntless. Now calling it an "action survival MMORPG" and touting its big crowdfunding infusion on Fig, Moscow-based studio Dreamside Interactive has announced the start of testing on July...

Ever pause during your day and find yourself wondering, “Whatever happened to that game?” With hundreds upon hundreds of online titles these days, it’s surprisingly easy for MMOs to fall through the cracks and become buried as more aggressive or active games take the spotlight.

Sure, World of Warships is all about being true to history, but history doesn't have enough hyper-gothic futurist style to it. That problem is now solved thanks to a collaboration between Wargaming and Games Workshop that brings several Warhammer 40,000-inspired items to the online vehicular combat title.

Shroud of the Avatar is inviting dungeon crawlers of the MMORPG to try out something a little different in the game's latest newsletter. The headlining feature is about Myrkur, a new scene that features dynamically scaling tech that lets players enter portals to change the encounter's difficulty between normal and extreme mode. This will effectively change the difficulty of...

I love me some ARPGs, but in any RPG your enjoyment will depend so much on finding the right class. A game that felt like a slog with one class can be a delight with another. Today I'd like to take a look at some of the fun, clever, and original classes I've had the pleasure to play in...

With Pre-Alpha 5 on the way, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is generating more and more interest among MMORPG veterans. But one topic is proving to be somewhat contentious in the community, and that's the subject of limited action sets. This is the artificial restriction of how many skills are available to a player at one time, which is...

It doesn't seem as if Path of Exile is slowing down any time soon: Thanks to the launch of the Harvest league last week, the game came close to topping its last concurrency record, which was earlier this year when many players across the world were stuck home in quarantine. "This weekend we launched Path of Exile: Harvest and reached...

Summer's already hot, so why not make it hotter still? Some big bonfires and the errant flaming torch should do the trick there. Thanks to World of Warcraft, we can keep our sweating regimen going strong with the Midsummer Fire Festival.
