Reimagined MMO developed by Darkpaw set for July release on PC
Daybreak Games and Game Jawn developers have confirmed they are discussing additional classes and races for EverQuest Legends beyond the upcoming Kunark expansion. Executive producer David Youssefi stated the team would "definitely" add new content in the longer-term vision, though workload constraints make near-term additions unlikely.
EverQuest Legends reconstructs the 1999 classic with modern concessions like in-game maps and no corpse runs while keeping its idiosyncratic soul intact. Game Jawn's $20 purchase plus $10 subscription targets a specific niche: players who want an MMO that demands mental engagement rather than hand-holding. For the author, it's the only MMO with a chance of holding attention in 2026.
Riot Games announces League of Legends Classic, launching free on July 29 within the existing Riot Client. This throwback mode combines classic features from around Season 3 (2012-2013) and launches with 60 champions. Executive Producer Paul Bellezza describes it as the "greatest hits of League."
EverQuest Legends, set to release in July, surprisingly balances nostalgia with empowering gameplay, making crushing hordes of mobs incredibly satisfying. The closed beta reveals a multi-class system, item merging, and challenge difficulty zones that enhance the classic EverQuest experience. Despite initial concerns, the game's design ensures fun for both veterans and newcomers.
