Restoring the environment is a key theme of Monster Hunter Stories 3, and that includes driving away Invasive Monsters that have taken up residence in the dens of rare Endangered Species. Invasive Monsters are powered-up versions of their standard counterparts, and their new environments have given them special abilities that require very specific tactics to…

Arc Raiders has proven to be a big hit and showed that the extraction shooter had legs for a more casual crowd, but like The Finals before it, it’s drawn negative attention for its use of AI voices. In a new interview, Embark CEO and Nexon executive chairman Patrick Söderlund told GamesIndustry.biz that the studio…

Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice.
