The night is always darkest before a new dawn, or so they say. Happily, antsy Darkfall players won't have long to wait until they can get into one of the reboots, as New Dawn will flip the switch on its InDev server on June 28th. If you're curious about what New Dawn looks like and want to check it out...

Except for those destitute PlayStation 4 players, who will be forced to wait until August 2nd, The Division community will get their hands on The Underground update next week on June 28th. Did the PlayStation 4 run over Ubisoft's dog or something? In any case, the studio posted a state of the game to clear up any misunderstanding about this big...

We're going to blow your mind with a stunning revelation: Star Trek Online takes place in the future. Yes, this game full of spaceships and instantaneous transportation is a setting several centuries from now! But that point in the future has even more future ahead of it, as demonstrated by the stats of the upcoming 26th century temporal ships...

Perfect World's Livelock has a release date: August 2nd. The studio announced today that its top-down MMO shooter will land on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 simultaneously with the previously announced box cost of $19.99 (it's $44.99 for a three-pack).

The Das Tal team has its eyes set on the next big step for the game: July 16th's alpha test. When the alpha goes live, it will bring with it a 14-step tutorial to help acclimatize new players to the game's mechanics and unique features. "As you can see, this is a very classic approach to tutorial design," the team...

What else besides the Manglemire dungeon does TERA have up its sleeve for July's Aces Wild update? How about turning everyone into kumases in the 10v10 Kumas Royal Battleground, a special variant of Kumasylum? Kumases are apparently fat baby ogres, in case you were wondering. This game is weird. Those who destroy a special stone during the two five-minute matches will...

Shroud of the Avatar players are attempting to put together a SOTA convention this fall. Spearheaded by player Violation Clauth, the first annual event is planned for November 4th through 6th in Baltimore, Maryland.

In celebration of RuneScape's 15th birthday, Jagex is throwing a quest party for its original founders. The Gower brothers - Andrew, Paul and Ian - have returned to the studio to pen a brand-new, meme-bedecked questline dubbed "the Gower Quest." We won't spoil it for you, but be warned: It's mostly about cabbages. RuneScape is also busy prepping for the...

Though Daum didn't have a booth at this year's E3, I managed to snag some time with Black Desert PR/Marketing Manager Rick van Beem. Given some of the recent rumblings about delayed content and PvP changes, I thought it was a good opportunity to learn about how the publisher feels about current game events. Serving two kinds of customers I don't personally play BDO regularly, not because I...

The Soul Fighter does not actually fight souls in Blade & Soul. No more than any other class, anyhow. It mostly fights with soul, and that's "soul" in the "glowing spiritual energy" sense rather than "deeply moving ballad" sense. You could check out an overview down below, or you could just jump in and start making with the fighting...
