Everyone has a fighting chance
The Zenimax site has been updated with a job posting for a Core Tech Programmer. While that is fairly dry sounding, it is what’s in the job description that has us intrigued: The “desired skills” only mention one thing – MMO development experience. Further, the first line in the post is “Join the team at ZOS and work on an exciting NEW IP!” (emphasis ours) The job is based in the Hunt Valley, Maryland office.
Halloween might be two weeks away, but Wizard101’s parties are happening all month long. Though in-game meet-ups are typically held in castles or popular world hubs, I thought I’d share some more uncommon “spooky” spiral locations that could work as event backdrops.
Blizzard is sending its Diablo 3 players and fans on a real world and virtual scavenger hunt that can yield some pretty sweet loot at the end including “one-of-a-kind artifacts” recreated by Volpin Props. Hunters will need to keep eyes on the Diablo 3 Twitter for clues where to go on the ‘Net or in the real world in order to scan codes that unlock entries into the event’s drawing. In addition to the prop artifacts, players can also win Nintendo Switch, collectibles and more.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is growing a bit larger today with the release of the game’s latest DLC, The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon.

Thanks to MMORPG.com user “Prayr”, we have been informed about a solo developer working on an indie project called Road to Eden. Ronald Halabi and his team of freelancers have been developing the game for the past 14-months. Halabi is vested in “creating [a] survival game we all want to play”. The game is currently in Alpha 2.4a.
TERA players can head into the game to check out the latest update called The Dark Reaches. Most notably, the update brings new APEX skills to several of the game’s classes including ARcher, Gunner, Ninja, Reaper, Sorcerer and Valkyrie. In addition, two new level 65 dungeons have been added alongside an updated UI and the Compliment System.
You may recall earlier this week we reported that the Russian version of Black Desert Online was in flux as publishing duties was changing from GameNet to Pearl Abyss after the game’s first three years of service. At the time, it appeared that player data would not make the transition from GameNet to Pearl Abyss with each side pointing fingers at the other. Now, however, that has changed and an agreement has been reached between the two.
