Polish developer Black Eye has announced that their Mount & Blade-inspired MMO Gloria Victis is now undergoing pre-alpha beta testing for VIP members who received a key for their Kickstarter investment.

The original Darkfall was released back in 2009, and the MMO was shut down in November 2012 to make way for an updated version, Darkfall Unholy Wars. The new rebranding has been in beta since then, and is ready to launch on the 16th April.

Controversial zombie survival MMO The War Z has been the victim of database attacks for both their online forums and the game itself. Compromised data includes email, passwords, IPs and character names.

While passwords are encrypted, OP Productions admits a brute force approach could get through as many users are "not using strong passwords." They advise changing them immediately.

Reloaded Productions has brought All Points Bulletin (APB): Vendetta onto Kickstarter as they seek gamers to vote with their wallets; yay or nay. They'd like $300k with 34 days before the deadline.

To summarise the project quickly it's a "character-driven extreme mobility competitive shooter", which I'm sure just answered all possible questions. Someone has already pledged $2,500.

EVE Online developer CCP, creator of a whole galaxy nonetheless, has marked June 4th in their calendar as the date their 19th free expansion will be releasing - Odyssey. It's a 'love letter to space exploration'.
