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 […]
For those unfamiliar with the unofficial World of Warcraft server scene, Turtle WoW is a group of private servers that hosts Mysteries of Azeroth, a fan-made expansion story for World of Warcraft Vanilla that delves deeper into exploring the game's original lore. This expansion aims to take a different path from the Burning Crusade, emphasizing the familiar Azeroth of Vanilla WoW over the cosmic battle with the Burning Legion. Mysteries of Azeroth added a lot to the WoW Vanilla content, including playable races (High Elves for the Alliance and Goblins for the Horde), zones and maps, raids and dungeons, arenas […]
Today, MMO fans finally have the pleasure of learning about Stars Reach, the next game envisioned by genre guru Raph Koster and his team at Playable Worlds, a studio founded in late 2019. Koster was the Lead Designer on the seminal Ultima Online, the Creative Director on Star Wars Galaxies, and the Chief Creative Officer on EverQuest II. For Stars Reach, Koster has returned to his sandbox roots with the power of today's technology. The developers at Playable Worlds have crafted a first-of-its-kind server architecture running partly on the cloud, which allows players to fully modify the universe. In turn, […]

Today, Tencent's Level Infinite publishing label announced the global release date of Tarisland. The free-to-play fantasy MMORPG looks a lot like Blizzard's World of Warcraft and, indeed, was first unveiled right after that game went offline in China (though it will return shortly, thanks to the new agreement between Microsoft, Activision, and NetEase). Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and developed by Locojoy, a team of MMORPG fans, Tarisland will launch on PC (via the game's website - it is not listed on any store) and mobile platforms on June 21.

MMORPGs have offered the promise of player agency and being able to shape the world but those promises usually fall flat beyond the premise of having a stronghold in one part of the world or adjusting tax and trade ratios in another. Bitcraft: Age of Automata aims to break that concept down to the basic voxels by allowing players to literally shape the shared world as they see fit. With a single shared world to craft bit by bit, there's something special in the works with Clockwork Labs, Inc. My play session saw me along with one other developer showing […]
ZeniMax Online has recently started its celebration of the 10th anniversary of Elder Scrolls Online with an event in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Bethesda kindly invited and arranged for Wccftech to attend the celebration event, which was mainly centered on the upcoming Gold Road Chapter due to launch in June for PC/Mac (where the game is also now playable via GeForce NOW) and consoles. While we previously covered the finer details of Gold Road's main feature, the Scribing system, here's a full transcript of the one-on-one chat I had with Elder Scrolls Online Creative Director Rich Lambert during last week's event in […]
Earlier this year, ZeniMax revealed Elder Scrolls Online had registered over 24 million accounts since its launch. The game is also closing in on $2 billion in customer spending. It was nominated for a BAFTA award last year, and the studio says it is the largest cross-platform RPG on consoles. As the game now celebrates its 10th anniversary with the addition to GeForce NOW and with a free play event live through April 9 on all platforms, ZeniMax Online also discussed the upcoming launch of the new Chapter, Gold Road, due on June 3 on PC and Mac and June […]
A few days ago, Unchained Entertainment (previously known as City State Entertainment) re-emerged after a long slumber and revealed that Final Stand: Ragnarok would re-launch on Steam Early Access this Thursday, while Camelot Unchained, the original MMORPG project devised by the studio, would come out in late 2025. To be honest, fans and Kickstarter backers were almost losing hope at this point. The studio had received over $2 million in funds back in 2013, but the MMORPG seemed still far from completion. The current focus on Final Stand: Ragnarok, which is a very different game, also might have certainly disappointed […]
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 […]
This week saw the release of Astro Bot, a delightful game that pays tribute to the rich history of PlayStation. It also, inadvertently, highlights the dearth of new games and franchises really worth celebrating from the PS5 era. Also, Star Wars Outlaws...
