Massively Overpowered

The most recent Trove patch added in the Golden Thread, which is pretty great for everyone playing the game. For the new player, it means that you have the tools to find out how the game works and what you can do with it while earning up a ton of Cubits. For existing veterans, it means a simple questline...

For a game that was hyped to heck and back with its announcement, you would think that Lineage Eternal would get more time in the limelight. Despite its seeming back-burner status, though, the game's development is moving forward; Steparu is reporting that a small beta test will be held for the game next month, although details are not yet...

EVE Online is less one developer today and Albion Online is richer by one, as Matt Woodward has jumped ship to work on the upcoming fantasy sandbox as a game designer. Woodward is trading in his old handle of CCP Greyscale for a new one: Monochrome. Woodward explained his decision to take on this new project: "When I saw Albion...

Yesterday, we let you fine readers know that Tree of Savior had gone the way of all indie games (or at least many of them) by heading to on Steam Greenlight to see whether people would drop cash on it. Today - or more accurately, several hours later yesterday - the community said that it definitely would. So the game...

NCsoft's first quarter financial report is out, and... you know, let's start with the good news. Guild Wars 2 is making the company more money, fueled by all of that talk about an expansion pack, so that's doing quite well. Blade & Soul is also apparently doing fairly well with its addition of a Taiwanese version, at that. And... yes,...

It's sometimes so odd to me what game mechanics aim to mimic real-life behaviors and activities while so much else is ignored. We drink, but we do not pee. We take performance drugs all of the time, but we are not embroiled with press scandals. We sprint everywhere in 60 pounds of plate, but we do not sweat and...

You know what gets me righteously angry? I shall tell you. I shall tell you, and then you shall share in my anger, you will. What gets me angry is when I get tremendously excited because a new MMO is actually doing a soundtrack release with a whopping 86 tracks across three discs... and then that soundtrack turns out...

Skyforge's devs want to thank you for participating in the game's third closed beta, which wraps up tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. EDT. This is assuming, of course, that you did participate. If you didn't, then you might not care that the three-week test "generated invaluable statistics and highlighted a number of ongoing issues for the team to investigate." An announcement...

Nepal can't seem to catch a break, as a second major earthquake has devastated the region two weeks after a quake killed over 8,000 people. EVE Online developer CCP continues to do its part for victims. Proceeds from its PLEX for GOOD initiative topped $61,000 in support of the original quake cleanup. Now the firm is extending its drive...

Unfurl the sails, cut the jib, and swab the poop deck -- Windward launch, ho! The sea-based sandbox officially rolls out of drydock today on Steam, leaving early access and updating to version 1.0. Windward puts players in control of ships sailing the high seas, looking to trade, plunder, and explore a procedurally generated world. The title offers both a...
