Embers Adrift is approaching its first anniversary, and the indie MMO is celebrating with an almost month-long event.
At PAX West, Bradford had the chance to chat with the developers behind the family-friendly multiplayer party game, Jackbox Party Pack 10. And even after ten years and 50+ individual games, it doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
Following yesterday's EverQuest II Producer's Letter, it's the OG's turn. Today Darkpaw dropped information about EverQuest's next few months, including its 30th expansion, Laurion's Song.
EVE Online is coming off a successful Fanfest late last month, and the team at CCP Games have released a new Pulse video highlighting the ongoing activities in EVE leading up till next month's Havoc expansion.
New World launched its first paid expansion, Rise of the Angry Earth, yesterday, and the excitement new content - especially mounts - has brought to Amazon's MMO has seen a return in queues and a rise in player count.
Kingsisle Entertainment's Pirate101 is celebrating its upcoming 11th anniversary, dropping a new update to the long-running MMO.
EverQuest II is gearing up for its next expansion, Ballads of Zimara, with its beta and pre-orders now live. Looking ahead at what's to come for the MMO, studio head Jenn Chan released a new Producer's Letter recapping the last few months and peeling back the veil on what's to come.
The games industry is going through a time of troubles right now with multiple studios laying off their staff members recently, and it seems no one is really safe. Reports today show layoffs from Sony studio Naughty Dog, as well as at Twitch, while yesterday saw layoffs at Team17.
New World's first paid expansion, Rise of the Angry Earth, has officially launched today, bringing the next chapter of the Amazon MMO to players.
From its first moments, Warcraft Rumble is charming, and interesting. Positioned as a "game within a game," Warcraft Rumble aims to add more life to the overall Warcraft universe by answering the question: What do the citizens of Azeroth do in their downtime?
Grand Theft Auto V's online mode, GTA Online, has turned 10 today, marking the anniversary players were let loose against each other in Los Santos' streets and alleyways. Bradford and his crew have played since day one, creating over-the-top moments throughout the years.
EVE Online's Havoc expansion is an exciting one, especially players who have wanted to team up with the universe's existing pirate factions since day one. But what do capsuleers who fancy themselves pirates really think of the changes? We asked New Eden's most prominent Pirate Lord about them.
New World is poised to have a fantastic fall if everything the team is planning comes together. From the launch of its upcoming expansion next month, Rise of the Angry Earth, to completing its task of fully revamping the leveling process by years' end, New World is building towards its future.
Monetization is frustrating at times in gaming, especially as so many models seemed poised to nickel and dime players rather than providing a satisfying gameplay loop. Yet the initial plan to monetize EVE Vanguard is surprisingly refreshing: just fold it into the MMO's existing subscription.
EVE Online opened the stargates leading into the new region of space, Zarzakh, which looks, and functions fundamentally different than other areas in New Eden.
