Big (but not bad) news for Champions Online: The superhero title is relocating along with its team back to its original development studio. Senior Game Designer Randy Mosiondz said that the team is leaving Seattle's Cryptic North and joining the rest of Cryptic Studios in Los Gatos, California with Mosiondz as the title's lead. Champions Online left Cryptic Studios for...

There are few things more annoying than a developer promoting an upcoming feature or change and then never delivering on it. Four expansions later, World of Warcraft fans still grump about the failed promise of a dance studio that was somehow too difficult for Blizzard to figure out. For me, I've been irked for years over the fact that Turbine...

Would you like to talk about Black Desert? Stuff's happening with the game. You can learn how to hunt whales, white or otherwise, and you can learn about the game's next class. Or you can read a fandom rant about the issues that have cropped up with the game during its testing phases, although as always you might want...

Don't you dare think for a second how strange it is that MMOs segregate the player population not by who they are but by what fashion they wear. For example, leather-wearing classes might not be the toughest around, but at least they can die in style! Cabal 2 posted a new video today casting a spotlight on the upcoming game's...

Why can't intergalactic colonization ever go smoothly? There always seems to be at least one continent-shattering war that has to happen before the first McSpaceDonalds is established. We guess that's part of the tradition, which is why we're sure that Project Genom will be a great instruction manual for when the human race ever does start populating the galaxy. The...

When you give creative people free rein in Landmark, some pretty awesome things happen! Besides fantastical creations straight out of the player's imagination, there are plenty of builds that pay homage (and do justice) to a number of popular IPs. We've visited a galaxy far, far away, and we've seen the unfinished ship that will boldly gone where no...

This afternoon's Camelot Unchained update is a lengthy one, as head honcho Mark Jacobs has a lot to say about topics ranging from stretch goals to new builder tiers to alpha testing progress reports. CityState is approaching the current stretch goal, which means that the firm is also preparing the next one. "It's not a hiring stretch goal (yay!), and...

Cloud Imperium recently opened a new studio to work on Star Citizen. It's located in Frankfurt, and it's called Foundry 42 Germany. Chris Roberts introduces today's behind-the-scenes video that examines the new studio, which he says is exciting because "the core part of the team in Germany are some of the people who built CryEngine in the first place." Most of...
