Little Orbit took over the reins for Fallen Earth in May 2018. Since then, developers have been quietly working away to solve “crippling bugs and a low player base”. In addition, devs felt that the project was one that would take a lot of time to work through. In a new post on the Fallen Earth site, Matt Scott has reviewed the work that has been tackled and / or completed and provided a look ahead at the coming year as the team works to move the game to a new engine.
Over at GamesIndustry.biz, industry analysts have checked in on their 2018 predictions and offered up a series of thoughts about the coming year. In one of the more interesting predictions, Michael Pachter believes that Overwatch will go free-to-play within the first six months of the year. Further, Patcher believes that Blizzard will offer a compensatory package of goodies to soothe the doubtless disgruntled community of players who have already purchased the game.

The stories that have been told around this universe have had ups and downs but I think that it has been mostly good. One of the best things Star Trek Online has done is the inclusion of events, such as Q’s Winter Wonderland and The Tzenkethi Go to War events. Let’s dig a little deeper into these events.
The DC Universe Online site has been updated with news that this year’s anniversary event has kicked off. Attack of the Anti-Monitor event features new styles, the Centennial Collapse raid, the “World Past Hope & Fear” solo mission, new feats, styles and rewards.

Questionite can be traded to other players or used to purchase upgrades, costumes and travel powers.
With 2018 now behind us, it’s time to look towards the year ahead. Fortunately for us, 2019 is shaping up to be another banner year in gaming and there are even some interesting things to look forward to in the world of MMOs. I recently shared a list of my favorite games of 2018, so let’s kick off the New Year with a list of what I’m looking forward to most this year.
Sea of Thieves Executive Producer Joe Neate is back with the first 2019 edition of the Developer Update. In this episode, Neate welcomes all new pirates and reminds veterans of the “Pirate Code” while they’re sailing the high seas.
