Although the name Masangsoft might evoke a sense of familiarity among our everyday readers, it’s also been some time since we last gave it any attention. As the company responsible for revamping the popular massively multiplayer online game (MMO), it is the same entity that attempted to relaunch this franchise last year without much fanfare, and also oversees other notable titles such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and Guild Wars 2, widely recognized in gaming circles.
Masangsoft appears to be doubling down on reviving outmoded and defunct MMO games. Reddit sleuths discovered a Steam webpage listing the racing MMO, but curiously, the author has also created pages for three retro titles: the stylish shooter, the fishing MMO, and what appears to be a re-launch of the classic series.
The latest additions to the storefront align with recent historical data tracked on SteamDB, with each game receiving a new update just last week. Most video games now boast their own dedicated website announcing their release on Steam, except.
The prompt revival of certain video games raises questions about the motivations behind this sudden resurgence, as well as speculation on when, if at all, Masangsoft will follow suit. In any given occasion, the introduction of this novel innovation is particularly noteworthy among dedicated fans of a beloved MMORPG.
