Super Mario Party Jamboree is the latest entry in the long-running Nintendo franchise, coming next month, and after an hour at PAX West with the title, it might just make me come back to the series.
EVE Online players got into a bit of a scrum earlier this week as players clashed over a Fortizar, resulting in a battle with 1.1 Trillion ISK worth of ships lost in the fight.
After a week of teasing the upcoming episode, Dimensional Ink has revealed the latest key art for DC Universe Online's upcoming content update, Harley Quinn vs Apokolips.
Steelseries is launching a World of Warcraft collaboration, kitting out some of their most iconic products with WoW livery to celebrate the MMO's 20th anniversary.
For the first time ever, players will be able to take the mantle of Zelda in a mainline entry for the series. We got the chance to check out The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom in a preview during PAX West last weekend, and we came away eager to play more.
Concord, the hero shooter launched by Sony on PC and PS5 just a week and half ago will shut down this week, with all copies sold being refunded, according to a new PlayStation blog post.
Magic: the Gathering's next set, Duskmourn, is unlike anything the team at Wizards of the Coast has done before, as it brings the 80s-style horror flick vibes to the Magic multiverse.
At PAX West 2024, we had the chance to talk to Final Fantasy XIV's Lead UI Designer Kei Odagiri about designing the MMO's UI, control scheme, as well as dove into some of the initial skepticism around the GPose feature.
Marvel Rivals releases this December with an impressive line up of Marvel greats. While Bradford spent most of his time in the beta playing Dr Strange, it seems Captain America might just be the choice when the hero shooter finally releases.
Bradford is an unabashed Tolkien fanatic, so when given the chance to review the second season of Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, he jumped at the chance. Here are some of his thoughts after watching the first three episodes of the upcoming season.
Razer debuted a new version of its leverless fightstick back at EVO, the Razer Kitsune Fighter's Edition: Akuma. Jason had the chance to go hands-on with this beautiful piece of kit.
Last night, Bandai Namco Online and Amazon Games announced Blue Protocol will be shutting down and its global release was canceled. Today, in a statement to MMORPG.com, we've learned that Amazon's developers working on the release will avoid layoffs, and instead be moved to other projects.
Blue Protocol, the anime-inspired MMO by Bandai Namco Online, will no longer release here in the West, and its Japanese servers will officially shut down January 2025.
After launching last week on Steam and PlayStation 5, the latest hero shooter on the market, Concord, couldn't have had a more lackluster reception on PC.
In the latest Cord of the Rings live stream, the Lord of the Rings Online community manager talked about when players can expect its upcoming free The Dragon and the Storm instance to launch, as well as a tease of the upcoming fall expansion, Legacy of Morgoth.
