Titled Star Wars Zero Company, it’s been a hotly anticipated project, especially from fans of XCOM, and while all we’ve got right now is a name and a bit of key art, a full gameplay reveal is just around the corner.

What if you could play an MMO completely on your schedule? That’s the central thesis of new RPG Erenshor. It takes the style of Old School Runescape and the lived-in feeling of World of Warcraft, but flips these persistent virtual lands completely on their heads. Erenshor certainly looks like a classic MMORPG, with hundreds of 'players' questing and battling alongside you, but they're not real people. Instead, this is a single-player game made to emulate the joys of '90s MMOs, and it’s out now.
