Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Fractured Online exits Early Access to tens of players, City of Heroes Homecoming enters the IMS with a huge update, and Dual Universe announces a standalone client. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
Broken Ranks
We mentioned Broken Rank’s Summer Events last week. Whitemoon Games made a post this week with more details about the events. They also posted a recap video of TaernCon 2024.
City of Heroes Homecoming
City of Heroes Homecoming finally gained NCSoft’s blessing back in January. This week, Issue 28: Legacy, Page 1 was released. The update includes a new raid zone, a new story arc, and much more.
Dreamworld
After 156 straight weeks of posting the most minute updates to Dreamworld, all we have gotten is a tease about several large features the team is working on for the last eleven weeks. Let’s hope they have something special in the works that is worth the wait.
