Live-service games and the companies that run them are in big trouble. Games and their developers are getting shut down and gutted, and publishers' huge promises are dubious. Meanwhile, EverQuest, one of the original live-service games, is thundering back more than 25 years later.

EverQuest Legends is currently in preorder beta with an upcoming release date of July 28th. The original EverQuest was a foundational MMORPG from right around the time we started to define what a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game was.

Like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, Konami and Bloober Team are back in action together. Bloober Team announced that it will continue its partnership with the Japanese publisher on a new project.

"The trust built upon the success of Silent Hill 2 laid the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project," the announcement read. And while the new project will be based on Konami's IP, the two companies did not share if the next game will be another Silent Hill or something else from Konami's back catalog.
