It's almost showtime for Blade & Soul's next update, Theater of Mystery, which will bring a new heroic dungeon and a new solo dungeon to NCSoft's martial-arts MMO. When the update goes live, players will be able to take center stage in the new Dreamsong Theater heroic dungeon, which will "pit players against a playhouse of evil." Solo players...

The third expansion for Final Fantasy XIV has been revealed as Shadowbringers during the keynote at this year's Fan Festival. It's coming out early summer 2019. Your theories were right! Or wrong, if you selected something like Final Fantasy XIV: That's Our Zenos Sitcom Edition for your personal theories. That was always silly.

"In the update, we will be adding the brand new Ruber Ossuary dungeon! The entrance will be able to...

Let's get something out of the way first and foremost. I am not going to count Warcraft III: Reforged as a smart thing for World of Warcraft, even though it is literally the thing I am most excited about coming out of the convention.

It seems hard to believe that the sequel to SOE's original MMORPG sandbox shooter PlanetSide is itself already six years old, but here we are as PlanetSide 2's birthday approaches. "War has raged on Auraxis for six years, with dedicated soldiers from every empire keeping the battle alive with their fighting spirits," Daybreak says. "This is no small feat -...

The Battlegrounds of the Gods just got bigger. During the keynote address at Hi-Rez Expo today, Titan Forge Games announced that SMITE is coming to the Nintendo switch. But more than that, folks don't need to give up their PC or console progress to partake: The MOBA will also have full cross-platform, cross progression play. But wait, that's not all!...

Hey, did you think all of Fallout 76's problems would magically disappear once it launched? Welp, you were wrong. As Bethsoft plays whack-a-mole with exploits during the transition from soft launch to hard launch, players are only getting more creative and taking their efforts outside the game.
