When good players do nothing, evil mobs triumph. So why not get out there and punch evil in its face? Portal Knights needs a lot of help with this following Thursday’s Villainous Update. A trio of new epic bosses have arrived in the game and stand defiant that anyone can beat them. In addition to these fights, a ranger’s guild...
Earlier this month, there was a flurry of news about the state of game publishing in China. You’ll recall that Monster Hunter World ran into a regulation nightmare in the region when China rescinded Tencent’s license to operate the game there and forced refunds for something like a million people. Even that shouldn’t have been a surprise, as Korean developers...
Wizard101’s 10th birthday is upon us, which means there’s a whole ton of people right now in college feeling all the nostalgia about the MMO their parents let them play as pre-tweens. Thankfully, they can log back in and take part in the festivities – there’s even a special quest to go along with the cake and minipets. KingsIsle Senior Producer...
If you’re like me — screenshot-mad and playing Battle for Azeroth — then you’ve been filling up your World of Warcraft image folders like crazy over the past few weeks. So many beautiful and striking sites to see! And also horror beyond imagining! Reader Minimalistway went deep into the woods on a Blair Witch hunt and found things that will keep...
I’d like to thank Final Fantasy XI for having some of the most obnoxious areas in any MMO to navigate ever. Maps that are difficult to read? Holes that you can fall through into lower regions? Paths that only open in one direction? All of the above, and many of them were made almost impossible to navigate without larger groups...
BioWare published a new trailer for Anthem at PAX West today, this one focused on the game world and just what you’ll be doing in this “reinvention” of multiplayer real-time storytelling content. If you cup your hand to your ear, you can hear remnants of the old BioWare fourth pillar. “At the heart of Anthem is the concept of Our...
A new and more flexible barrel inventory system caught a lot of Sea of Thieves players off guard when it arrived in Patch 1.2.4, and not in a good way. Such is the furor over the handling of this change (as it takes longer for players to stock their ships) that Rare has had to come back and apologize for...
CCP Games has made communicating just how it’s “coming for the bots” in EVE Online a priority all year, both before and after players exposed the scale of the botting problem in a well-publicized sting operation. This week, the game’s Team Security has posted another dev blog updating players on how its war on cheaters is going. Spoiler alert, it’s...
I am very much a creature who is affected deeply by my environment. I suspect all of us are to varying degrees, but I think about this a lot. I crave the uplifting feeling that a beautiful nature scene, a well-organized office, or a meticulously crafted artificial experience provides. When I go to Disney World, I’m almost there more of...
If you’re hungry for even more New World previews, then PCGamesN has another take on the same demo that outlets got to experience at last week’s Gamescom. The main thrust of the article — and of Amazon’s PR arm — centers around New World’s “large-scale territory wars” that have the potential to expand up to 10,000 players in the future....
