Star Trek Online – Patch Adds Procedural Missions and New PvE Map

Patch 35.7 adds fresh PvE content with the “Ruins of Valt Minor,” a three-man ground mission loaded with temporal hazards and Promellian enemies. The game’s new Endeavor System offers procedural missions that reward rare resources weekly. A powerful new ship, the Promellian Command Battlecruiser, also debuts with unique shielding tech tailored to PvP defense.

Mortal Online 2 – Combat Gets Adrenaline Boost

A new Adrenaline System is in the works for MO2, triggering short bursts of attack speed when engaging from stealth or landing critical hits. Six new dynamic stance abilities were also previewed, while the long-awaited AI upgrade has been postponed due to hardware delays. Expect latency improvements and smaller fixes by June 10.

Blade & Soul NEO – Steam Release and New Servers

Blade & Soul NEO officially launched on Steam with three NA servers and full cross-progression. Players can snag a Founders’ Pack and earn welcome bonuses through June. Meanwhile, early server load spikes caused minor queue issues, but reception to last month’s roguelike Dungeon Rift mode remains strong.

Blade & Soul – Soaring Into Sky Zone

The Sky Update introduces airborne PvE combat with new instanced battlegrounds, vertical mobility skills, and event rewards. The Sky Festival runs until June 17, offering currency to redeem Horizon Crates, exclusive emotes, and stat boosts. The community is enjoying the 3D traversal mechanics, even if performance is inconsistent in high-pop lobbies.

Albion Online – PvP Dungeons & “Bloodlust Zones” Revealed

Sandbox Interactive previewed the Into the Depths expansion coming June 17. It includes three risky PvP dungeons with puzzles and bosses, the hellish “Pillars of Hades” hub, and an “Orange” PvP flagging system that balances risk/reward for aggressive players. A streamlined PvP progression system and new Depthwalker cosmetics round out the update.

RIFT – It’s Corgi Month Again!

The fan-favorite Corgi Month is back, bringing escort missions, Corgi-themed minigames, and collectible fluffball mounts like “King Corgnelius.” Twitch giveaways will also dish out digital plush Corgi pets.

Lord of the Rings Online – 32-bit Server Sunset Confirmed

Standing Stone Games will retire LOTRO’s aging 32-bit servers later this year. Migration tools will offer cosmetic “Veteran Packs” for those transferring to modern realms. While nostalgic players are sad to see them go, most agree that 64-bit upgrades are long overdue.
