mmorpg.com:

Welcome to the first of our MMO Launch Spotlight, where we compile the Massively Multiplayer titles and where they launched over the past week. While we can’t guarantee we’ll have an exhaustive list (because games have to launch in some state for this to make sense), we’ll do our best to keep you apprised of what launched each week. This week, Steam saw 4 games that describe themselves as “Massively Multiplayer” launch on their platform. Let’s get this spotlight started.

We covered Astral Tale: Myth of Stars  earlier this week. The game was originally listed on Steam back in October of 2023. Astral Tale is more along the lines of a relaunch of Twin Saga by developer X-Legend Entertainment and published by Aeria Games. Astral Tale is supposed to have some additional content like brand new professions and expanded customization, and X-legend has taken over publishing of the game globally, and it launched on Steam on January 7^th, 2024, with a Mixed review rating as of this article. If you were a fan of Twin Saga you’ll probably want to give this one a shot.

I promise this one isn’t an ad. RAID: Shadow Legends actually released on Steam this week. Known for their mobile game that has some widespread and aggressive advertising, RAID: Shadow Legends is a free to play game by Plarium Global ltd that provides both PvE and Online PvP in a turn-based style combat system. The game states there are over 800 playable characters, some of which are from collaborations. The free-to-play mobile port currently sits at a mixed rating on Steam, with players noting that there is aggressive microtransaction popups, just like the mobile version. However, if you’re a fan of turn-based tactics and character collectors, you can now do so via Steam
