The MMObserver is an independent news site about MMORPGs and other online role-playing games. We follow around a hundred games, from long-running worlds such as World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV and EVE Online to new launches and games still in testing, and report what their developers announce.
How we cover games
Every article starts from an official announcement: the developer’s or publisher’s own news page, its official feed, or its announcements on Steam. We don’t report rumours, leaks or datamined content. Each article ends with a link to the announcement it is based on, so you can always check the original.
We write about new content and expansions, patch notes and balance changes, roadmaps, events and seasons, beta and release dates, developer letters, server changes that affect everyone, launches, shutdowns and business news. We leave out cash shop items and sales, routine maintenance, server status messages and known-issue lists.
How articles are written
Our newsroom is partly automated. A system on our site checks each game’s official news several times a day. When a new announcement appears, Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, reads it, decides whether it deserves an article under the rules above, and writes a short article in its own words, following our style guide: no hype, no invented facts, and dates, versions and prices exactly as announced.
These articles are published automatically and end with a note saying that they were written with AI assistance. Our editor, Emilien LECOFFRE, sets the editorial rules, follows what is published, and corrects or removes articles when needed.
Images come from the official announcement and are credited to the game’s official news. Videos are the developers’ own YouTube videos; they load only if you accept marketing cookies.
Corrections
Studios change their plans, and both people and AI make mistakes. If you spot an error or an outdated detail, write to mephistos.ecudechene@gmail.com and we will correct the article.
