We have a launch date for World of Warcraft's next expansion, but we don't have a date for the pre-patch before the expansion launches. It is fair to say at this point, though, that the designers are just playing with the affections of players. First the developers tease something big coming just to announce a Twitter contest for getting...

World of Warcraft players beware: There's a new scam going on that requires a little bit of gullibility and action on the part of the account holder. Apparently some scammers are impersonating players' friends and guild members who then ask on flimsy pretenses for the user to post a "/run" command into the game's chat box. Doing so on the askance...

Diablo III -- on the PC at least -- is all about the seasonal fun these days, and players who have worked hard to attain all of the achievements and rewards from season six only have a couple of more weeks left to put a cap on it. Blizzard announced today that season six will wrap up worldwide on July...

Man, the Chronicles of Elyria website is looking good lately. Did it lose weight? Yes, apparently, although almost all of that was in the backend as explained by the developers. The site might not look very different, but it took a lot of doing, and the counterbalance was that the team had to delay the implementation of its new...

The team at Motiga is happy that players have logged in to stress test Gigantic's servers. But it's not enough stress. More stress is needed. So why not put the pressure on this weekend during the game's special one-day-only stress test on Saturday, July 9th? There will be a prize, if you consider "playing Gigantic while stress-testing the servers"...

Take a moment to reacquaint yourself with the Thundercats theme song. Now you're properly ready to receive the news that today's Warframe update is full of cats... space cats. Glorious, furious, brightly colored space cats. Oh sure, Warframe's Specters of the Rail update is more than just cats, as it overhauls the game's space mode, adds new weapons, and renovates...

The next patch for Allods Online will lead players to the Winter Palace, which sounds like a lovely vacation spot. It brings to mind soft cushions, wonderful feasts, and a comfortable environment. It does not bring to mind vicious murders being perpetrated by a savage cult, but surprise! That's what you're going to be running into. And yes, it...

When will World of Warcraft players experience the Legion pre-patch? Despite the fact that the opening lines of the most recent development dispatch promise to share more about when to expect it, we still do not have a firm date. What we do know, however, is that Demon Hunters will be playable on the second or third week of...

Star Citizen is continuing its rollout of a three-part Around the Verse in celebration of its 100th episode. Sandi Gardiner is joined this week by Erin Roberts, who gives a lengthy walkthrough of Foundry Forty-Two, which is working on the persistent universe, UI, Q&A, and other aspects of the game. Eagle-eyed Star Citizens have already dissected that part of...

Trion has a huge closed beta week planned for Atlas Reactor starting today (through July 17th) with a free-play event for the normally B2P, turn-based online game. There are new characters on the way for the event as well: Celeste, "a roguish firepower freelancer who will steal your heart – or at least, any valuables you may have," plus a second...
