We learned a lot during our hour-long discussion with the Xbox MVPs, including things we’re doing well and things we can do better. We won’t spend too long talking about the former,… Continue reading We Chatted with the 2018 Xbox MVPs and Here’s What We Learned→

And really, bringing it to Xbox was an absolute no-brainer for us. When we decided to reboot Battlezone, we thought about how to make it true to the original….

At level 25, players are introduced to the “Insanity Epidemic” plotline, which kicks off a series of story quests and dungeon play that takes you to… Continue reading Introducing Ruinous Manor as the New Max-Level Dungeon for TERA on Xbox One→
