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. Even after nearly two decades, millions remain actively engaged.

While WoW offers endless content, players who've invested hundreds or even thousands of hours might seek alternatives. Top-tier players, having potentially dedicated years across multiple characters and accounts, often find themselves looking for a new challenge. The following games may not replicate the exact WoW experience, but they offer similar gameplay elements to satisfy that craving for adventure.

Updated January 10, 2025 by Mark Sammut: Late 2024 brought several significant game releases, none of which closely resembled WoW. While Infinity Nikki deserves 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 provides a solid alternative for action RPG enthusiasts.

A single-player Final Fantasy title has also been included in this list.
