EVERSPACE 2 developer ROCKFISH Games, being headquartered in Hamburg, couldn't very well pass up on the Cologne-based Gamescom, especially since they've got the Titans DLC coming up soon. Due to launch on September 16 across all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X) for a price tag of $15, this is the first story DLC for the space combat game that was fully released in 2023. I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]
Today, CCP Games announced EVE Online: Equinox, the next expansion of the sci-fi sandbox MMO, slated for release on June 11. EVE Online: Equinox will enable players to strategically harness the rich resources of nullsec and customize their in-game identity with a powerful new spaceship SKINR tool.

With the Upwell Consortium's new range of products, they will harvest and use various planetary resources, solar power, and the labor of a cloned workforce. SKINR will allow players to create, customize, and sell […]
During the Game Developers Conference 2024 in San Francisco, Funcom provided the first detailed Dune Awakening presentation to the press. For the full details of what was discussed in the open world survival MMO's overview, head to our previous article. Here, we'll focus on the subsequent roundtable Q&A with Dune Awakening Creative Director Joel Bylos. A 17-year veteran of the Norwegian studio who is credited for working on games like Age of Conan, The Secret World, The Park, Conan Exiles, Conan: Unconquered, and even Metal: Hellsinger, Bylos was all too happy to indulge the many questions posed to him about […]
At GDC 2024, Wccftech attended a presentation and subsequent roundtable Q&A about open world survival MMO Dune Awakening with Creative Director Joel Bylos. The full interview will be available soon, but in the meantime, here's what Bylos told us when we asked whether the game would launch this year: The best question. I would love to know. I don't know. We don't want to ship it till it's ready. I don't know how many of you have played Conan Exiles. We have a reputation for interesting ideas and some jank. I would prefer to get rid of the jank. I'd […]
This afternoon, Funcom announced the first in a series of Dune Awakening Direct showcases. Slated to go live on Monday, March 4 at 6 PM CET (noon Eastern Time, 9 AM Pacific Time) on Twitch and YouTube, it'll be hosted by Soe Gschwind and include new footage of the open world survival MMO. Fans will be treated to the Gameplay Reveal Trailer and a featurette titled Creating Worlds, from Book to Film to Game. In the gameplay reveal trailer, we'll get a taste of what it'll be like to soar across open Dunes in an ornithopter, survive the sandworms, and […]
Earlier this month, a new independent game development team called AVALON announced its highly ambitious namesake debut project. This MMO game seeks to largely deliver on the concept of the Metaverse as it was enunciated in Ernest Cline's seminal science fiction novel Ready Player One while also pushing the user-generated content trend forward and taking advantage of the latest technological advancements, including two different generative AI tools (Didimo's Popul8 and Inworld AI's Character Engine) that we previously covered on Wccftech. The development team at AVALON is led by Jeffrey Butler, who was a producer on old-school MMORPGs like the original […]
At G-Star 2023, Netmarble showcased once again RF ONLINE NEXT, a sci-fi MMO in development for PC and mobile devices with Unreal Engine 5. The South Korean developer acquired the rights to the RF ONLINE franchise in September 2020. The original game, as some of you might recall, was launched in 2004 by CCR, though it only appeared in North America and Europe around two years later. Just like that game, RF ONLINE NEXT is set on the faraway planet of Novus, where advanced technology is available alongside magic. Gematsu got their hands on a detailed description of the game's […]
Today, international and fully remote studio AVALON announced its first project, an MMO-like metaverse namesake with a focus on user-generated content. The global development team is led by Jeffrey Butler, an industry veteran who previously worked on EverQuest, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and EverQuest Landmark. Other members of the studio worked on high-profile franchises like Call of Duty, Diablo, Assassin’s Creed, Elden Ring, and World of Warcraft. In AVALON, which is powered by Unreal Engine, players will be able to leverage generative AI tools like Didimo's Popul8 end-to-end character creation platform and Inworld AI's-powered character engine to design characters and interact with NPCs […]
The Day Before, the open-world survival MMO developed by FNTASTIC, is launching in early access next month, and the PC system requirements were finally revealed today. Surprisingly enough, for a game powered by Unreal Engine 5, the MMO doesn't seem to require an extremely powerful system to run properly, as an Intel i5-8400 CPU and NVIDIA GTX 1060 will be enough to run the game at minimum settings. What's somewhat curious is how the system requirements feel almost incomplete, as they make no mention of any specific minimum and recommended AMD CPUs and GPUs, essentially asking users to research for […]

Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
