Massively Overpowered

Fans of CCP Games have a pretty solid idea of what's on the company's docket: EVE Online, EVE Valkyrie, and EVE Gunjack, and if the developers aren't too busy with other matters, they might even roll out an update to DUST 514. It's all straightforward enough. But a new job listing for a Senior Producer indicates that the company...

Massively OP's formal 2015 awards technically ended on Friday, though we've got a few stragglers and roundups left to go. As I do every year, today I'll round up all the awards in one place, discuss the thought process behind the selections, and compare our staff votes to the popular votes (which are still technically ongoing for another week). Follow along for a...

The testing for Black Desert has only just begun over on western shores, but players in its native Korea have been enjoying the game for some time now. Another update has recently landed which adds the second half of the Valencia region, highlighted in a new trailer just below. There are rocks, there is ground, there's atmosphere - all...

The new hotness in Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is definitely the Pegasus Station map. This industrial base is set in the frozen arctic and is apparently quite the piece of prime real estate.

It's going to be a little while until Final Fantasy XIV players can enjoy the content of patch 3.2, but producer and director Naoki Yoshida has already begun previewing it for fans.

"Now I have a machine gun-toting T-Rex. Ho ho ho." This might well be the holiday sentiment of ARK: Survival Evolved, especially now that it's getting into the spirit of the season. The title pulled the trigger on another holiday event, with this one casting the island into a winter wonderland. In addition to cheery decorations, the winter wonderland event will provide...

The end of the year is the perfect time to look back over the previous 12 months, decide that they were terrible, and vow to never make those mistakes again before plunging right into making new and exciting mistakes next year. The Elder Scrolls Online team isn't leaving that process to the wayside but is hopefully going to skip...

The unfortunate saga of The Repopulation continues this week, as Above & Beyond Technologies announced that it was pulling the plug on the alpha servers -- at least for the time being. "It is with heavy hearts that we announce today that development The Repopulation has been temporarily suspended and alpha servers are expected to go offline on Wednesday, December...

You might have noticed that we're currently awash in seasonal festivities, not just in the real world but in MMOs as well. Christmas is the second of two holidays (Halloween being the other) that get some sort of special event in most online games. That had me thinking of how underappreciated some of these events are when it comes to awards...

Season 5 of Diablo III is arriving on January 15th, 2016, and a new preview covers the additions to the game with the patch and how...
