LEGO Minifigures Online is an upcoming game where you get to smash, build and collect your way through LEGO worlds together with other online players. It’s made by Funcom (creators of The Secret World), with gameplay that’s pretty similar to the Travelers Tales LEGO games but bigger, better and with online multiplayer.

There’s a huge selection of characters, all with different abilities and a variety of different worlds to explore, such as Pirate World, Space World, and Medieval World. It’s shaping up to be a seriously fun online multiplayer game that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The Open Beta is due this month, sign up at the official website to be notified the instant it starts!

Monkey King Online is a free-to-play MMORPG inspired by the Chinese epic Journey to the West. Players choose one of four ancient heroes, including the rebellious Monkey King himself, and embark on a quest to bring peace to a broken world.

Real-time combat is enhanced by the ability to ’Invoke the Imortals’ during battle, turning your character into a powerful deity. Monkey King Online can be enjoyed solo, but features a host of robust multiplayer modes, including team dungeons, PvP combat, competitive Arena play, and territorial Guild versus Guild battles.

It’s a good looking game with a rather silly storyline, vibrant characters and the interesting ability to transform into powerful deities during battle. New deities (immortals) are added each month, so should help to keep the gameplay fresh.

Avast ye landlubbers! Pirates Online Rewritten is an ongoing project to recreate and improve upon the now defunct Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Online, the fun piratey themed MMO that shut down on Sept 2013.

This is a fan made project that uses Disney Interactive’s POTCO assets and content (with their permission) that’s strictly non-profit orientated and 100% free to play – it has to be or Disney will sue. This means that Pirates Online Rewritten is being created by devs who are genuinely passionate about the game, and it will be an MMO geared towards gameplay and fun, instead of fleecing players out of their cash with micro-transactions.

All going well, Pirates Online Rewritten could be a great MMO, be warned though, pirate games can be quite addictive – they say once ye lose yer first hand, ye get hooked!
