Having re-launched Splitgate 2 as Spligate: Arena Reloaded late last year, 1047 Games have now kicked off early work on a new shooter. Details are scarce aside from the fact you'll be able to move around in it and that 1047 CEO Ian Proulx reckons it should appeal to fans of Titanfall and Call of Duty Blops 3. Oh, and that you can sign-up for to playtest it now.

It sounds like Sony are continuing to do what they presumably coldly view as cost cutting. According to Jason Schreier, often known for his insider information, and a leak shared in a ResetEra thread, Dark Outlaw Games, a studio set up by former Call of Duty lead Jason Blundell, is being shut down. It's unclear how many people this includes at this time.

Regular fans of World of Warcraft are probably familiar with the annual Running of the Trolls, a community-led charity event that both celebrates Pride month and helps to raise money for The Trevor Project. Well, it looks like the 2026 version is getting official backing from Blizzard, as it’s being made an in-game event in patch […]

Recently, World of Warcraft Executive Producer Holly Longdale sat down to do one of those fluffy interviews where much was said about the future of the game, almost all of it being very non-committal. You know those kinds of interviews? I think Blizzard gives its staff seminars on how to conduct them. In any case, […]

I am not a huge fan of fishing, but somehow in World of Warcraft, it became a thing I did kind of a lot back when I still played. And I love the idea that a really solid implementation of a game mechanic can turn a hater into a fan. For example: I don’t enjoy […]

In the middle of layoffs and future uncertainty for Fortnite, the popular PvP title is latching onto Game of Thrones for its next cross-promotional boost. There’s going to be a new ice area while players can grab skins for Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and the Night King. And this is just the beginning of the rest of […]

Many of the bravest souls emerged from Lord of the Rings Online’s Shire — but it is less-well-known that some of the fluffiest butts also came from this pastoral paradise. Ladies and gentlemen and Free Folk of Middle-earth, presenting… Sir Flufferbottom of Little Delving! “I have my goat and my flowery outfit, time to talk […]

This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired directly by something MOP reader Zulika said last month in comments about Smed’s new MMOFPS. “More and more I am just glad past me was around to experience MMOs starting in 2000.” OK, obviously Zulika was throwing deserved shade on some of 2025’s excesses, but let’s talk about more […]

So there was a fun meme that was going around about four years ago in which an image of Final Fantasy IV was posted as “what people think Final Fantasy looked like 20 years ago,” followed by a picture of Final Fantasy X as “what Final Fantasy actually looked like 20 years ago.” Of course, now it’s […]

Here’s the crazy thing: It’s October 2025, and it already feels as though World of Warcraft: The War Within is completely over at one year and one month after its launch in August 2024. Back when the Worldsoul Saga was first announced, Blizzard said that these expansions would come faster than normal — but I […]

It’s been quite the rollercoaster of a week for World of Warcraft — and I’m not merely talking “ups” and “downs.” There were helixes and spirals and some unintended brake runs where too much lag infested the new Legion Remix mode. To help with the performance, the studio did a server reset last night. But […]
