The spring content patch for Lord of the Rings Online is shaping up to be both cheerful and ambitious. Update 48: A Glorious Hunt went up on the Bullroarer test server this week with the new Rivendell housing zone, support for UI scaling in plugins, and the final Umbar zone, Pahar Hatokáli. Rivendell Steadings is […]

Nexon and Embark aren’t letting ARC Raiders go long without new stuff: The Flashpoint Update droppped today with a new challenge to tackle: “Raiders will encounter the new Close Scrutiny ARC Operation map condition, introducing high-risk engagements and high-value targets centered around the ARC Assessor—a heavily guarded unit carrying rare components tied to player progression.” Players […]

If you’ve tried to go back to Final Fantasy XI at any point or even tried to start the game completely new… well, you know it’s not an easy thing to do. The game has a tutorial quest, but it hasn’t been updated in years, and that’s without dealing with things like maps being expensive. So […]

This afternoon, Elder Scrolls Online studio ZeniMax Online took the wraps off of more content coming over the course of 2026, including the Night Market. Ahead of the reveal today, we attended a press event to introduce more details for the upcoming Season 0, as well as tease a bit of what’s coming beyond that in […]

It looks as if Spirit Crossing is making its way closer and closer to its next alpha patch release, as the game’s latest post is once again focused on a feature update in 14.9. And this one is for the social butterflies in the room. First off, players will gain access to the proximity chat sooner, unlocking […]

If you were gearing up for the April 2nd Throne and Liberty patch, go ahead and gear back down because it’s been delayed without any reason other than that Amazon says it wants to “ensure a smooth release,” which you would think would always be true. And unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be an April […]

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 […]

As promised, RuneScape Dragonwilds’ 0.11 patch has entered the survival sandbox’s early access chat today, bearing the uncomfortable name Dowdun Reach, which either sounds like “dowdy” or reminds me of Downton Abbey every single time I see it. The patch itself is anything but dowdy, however, as players are looking at new quests, new building […]

Genshin Impact already gave players a reason to return to the starting area of Mondstadt back in February, but now it’s giving those folks a reason to stay with its next update scheduled for Wednesday, April 8th, by way of a new part of the region to explore. The zone will expand northward into a region […]

Not every raid boss that players fight in Vindictus is some horrible monster. In fact, a great number of them are actually quite pretty in some ways. So when the action MMORPG’s latest update added a cute-looking mage as its latest raid fight, you probably shouldn’t blink an eye too much. Especially when she unleashes spell hell […]

How about we move over to the other desert that Pearl Abyss makes for a little while, shall we? You know, the MMORPG one? We’re talking Black Desert on PC, obviously, which is in the headlines for some PvE-centric updates available in its Global Lab public test server. As is very often the case for Global […]

The Honse game lives, and indeed, Equinox Homecoming has just released its first content patch since its formal launch at the top of March. Indie studio Blue Scarab has rolled out chapter four, seven new main quests “where you’ll come face to face with a conspiracy gripping the island,” five side quests, new cutscenes, a […]

One of the things that I observed ages ago about Final Fantasy XIV’s Dawntrail expansion was that our patches were each adding one big new thing aside from what’s expected. Sure, a given patch would have the new raid (alliance or normal) and new dungeon and so forth, but in addition you get one thing. […]

We’ve already been informed about how Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen will change attributes and damage mitigation with its big beefy combat update coming down the pike, but now it looks as if Visionary Realms is looking to get hyper-granular, as its latest dev blog is outlining how these changes will affect the Warrior class. “Not everything is going […]

Last month we were all given some worrying news about Corepunk developer Artificial Core, as the studio suffered some layoffs that led players to assume the worst for the early access MMO’s prospects of crossing the finish line. And while the studio has already made sure to state that the game wasn’t abandoned, it still continued to […]

Project Gorgon always has been quite the social MMORPG, but now it’s going to have more structure to back that up thanks to the debut of its guild system. Players can form a guild for 200 ancient coins and five members, and they can share a bank and a special guild chat channel. “Please note […]

Spirit Crossing, the still-developing cozy MMO from developer Spry Fox, has been kicking out a lot of dev blog jams recently, and it’s done so yet again this week, only this time around the topic is more focused on a system update due in its next alpha patch. Specifically, the game’s equipment progression will be shifted […]

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 […]

Ready to take out your grudges one by one on the dueling field? Then jump right into Pax Dei, because the sandbox MMORPG’s minor spring update arrived on Monday, March 30th with its dueling system following a few weeks of testing. “Players can now challenge each other to friendly duels, allowing consensual PvP combat anywhere […]

When 1,000 developers were handed their walking papers at Epic Games, one of the first questions that come to mind is “why.” And while CEO Tim Sweeney offered some insight into the decision, professional analysis says that, unsurprisingly, it’s likely a more multi-faceted matter than just Fortnite and the Epic Games Store fumbling. Among some of the other […]
