MMO News Roundup: Moons of Madness Delayed
A Delayed Trip to the Moon

Funcom has pushed back the console release of its cosmic horror spin-off Moons of Madness to March 24, 2020. The studio cited the need for additional optimization time and apologized for any frustration the delay may cause. Originally slated for a 2019 launch, the game’s console version will now arrive roughly a quarter later than expected.

New Relics and Player Surveys

Torchlight Frontiers has teased another relic headed to the game at launch: Iceheart. The icy artifact joins a growing roster of relics designed to customize combat roles. Meanwhile, several MMOs turned to their communities for feedback. Wakfu asked players about level 200+ content, wild PvP, and enchantment systems. Neverwinter similarly sought input on making in-game content more accessible, signaling a push toward smoother progression.

Policy Changes and Gear Overhauls

NCsoft rolled out a token-based restoration policy across Aion, Blade & Soul, and Lineage II. The move aims to increase transparency when players upgrade or purchase items, encouraging more careful transactions. Over in The Division 2, Massive Entertainment previewed sweeping gear changes that will remove the current budget system and introduce “god rolls.” The overhaul promises a more streamlined loot chase for endgame players.
