The Best Games To Play If You Like World Of Warcraft

World of Warcraft, released in 2004, revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre and continues to captivate millions of players even two decades later. While WoW offers endless content, players who've dedicated hundreds or even thousands of hours might seek alternative challenges. For those seeking a change of pace, but still craving that MMORPG experience, here are some compelling alternatives. They may not perfectly replicate WoW, but they offer similar engaging gameplay.

Updated January 10, 2025 by Mark Sammut: Late 2024 saw the release of several significant titles, but none closely resembled WoW. While Infinity Nikki deserves a mention for its stunning open world and addictive gameplay, it lacks any similarity to Blizzard's MMO. Path of Exile 2's early access release also provides a strong option for action RPG enthusiasts.

A single-player Final Fantasy title has been added to the recommendations.
