With the Seeking the Horizon update out and open beta coming in a couple weeks, the Dauntless dev team is moving quickly to evaluate testing feedback and make improvements. The good news is that it sounds like the co-op slayer is shoring up its server performance, streamlining its weaponmaster track, and keeping players from getting stuck on, er, tree stumps....
Cutthroat PvP MMORPG Gloria Victis is currently featured as part of Humble Bundle’s War Gamez bundle, so you can snag it and a bunch of other war… gamez… for next to nothing right now. “It’s a perfect opportunity for everyone to join the conflict in the vast medieval open world, master their own skills in the non-target combat and loot the players...
The trouble with having one universal hub in Albion Online is that basically no one cares about the five other hubs in the game. That’s what the game’s next content update, Merlyn, is partly meant to address. While Caerleon will not be changed, each of the other five royal cities will be getting bonuses to refining certain types of goods...
Project Genom has been heavily updated this week, and according to developer NeuronHaze, that’s all thanks to the players who’ve supported the title since 2016. Updates to the map are among the key improvements. “The previous version of the game’s world which had an area of 10 square kilometers, increased to 100 square kilometers and was completely redesigned: hundreds of...

Many MMO gamers – including me – are a bit underwhelmed by the next chapter of the Elder Scrolls Online. Although Summerset is not a bad bit of content, I have concerns about the amount of content that is coming with this expansion compared to the last expansion, Morrowind. The island of Summerset is a nice size, probably bigger than Vvardenfell,...
We don’t want to spoiler the newest Avengers film for people looking forward to seeing it, but we’re pretty sure that its main villain Thanos is kind of a big deal. Clearly, what the Avengers need to be doing is recruiting the Fortnite development team, as they have already substantially weakened Thanos after he was active on the servers for...
Today is May 9th. And that is a wonderful, marvelous day if you happen to be a Blade & Soul fan, because it’s the day when NCsoft is dropping its Eternal Night update for players to enjoy. “The Blade and Soul Eternal Night update brings with it part one of your journey into the new Nightfall Sanctuary raid as you try...
EA’s quarterly financial report and investor call turned out to be a doozy this year with quite a bit of useful news. To wit: BioWare’s Anthem is set to ship “in the last quarter of the year, and in the last month of that quarter,” so if we’re counting by fiscal quarters, that’s March 2019, and no wiggling out of...
Tabletop games and MMORPGs seem like they would go well together, but remarkably they often don’t. That’s true for several reasons, but one of the main reasons is that we have a lot more games adapting different source material separately.
