Ashes of Creation is #1 for me. I played a fair bit of New World. I actually liked it, but it's sooooo content limited.

 

[whyman]

Considering how often these games are delayed I think we will see 2 - 4 actually release this year.

 

[Malakhov]

Never thought Pantheon would make it since McQuaid passed away, the only mmorpg i am anticipating since it looks like everequest 2.0

 

[Bkdk]

It's amazing they can actually find 20.

 

[Mista]

Just give me a western release date for Lost Ark already! Ashes of Creation & Blue Protocol looks promising too

 

[TwiztidElf]

Blue Protocol seems to have the highest level of hype and expectation in the community, but they have it at number 11?
Ashes of Creation has always looked good aswell imo.

 

[Kenpachii]

Few of them look interesting, will test them out.

MMORPGs require a massive time investment, so we made a list of the top 10 MMORPGs in 2021. Take a look!

MMORPGs, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games came on to the scene a few decades ago, but really exploded into the mainstream with the launch of World of Warcraft. Many games have come and gone since, but a few, such as Final Fantasy XIV and Elder Scrolls Online, continue to have strong showings today. But there are many others along the way that contributed to the genre as a whole, and informed games that were to come.
