16 Upcoming MMO Games Worth Keeping an Eye On

11. Tom Clancy’s The Division

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Release Date: TBA 2016

While not an MMO in the traditional sense, The Division will combine open world gameplay with persistent online elements in some really creative ways. The Division will give you and your squad free reign of a huge city-sized environment, with others players dropping in and out of your game as potential enemies or allies.

12. Triad Wars

Platforms: PC

Release Date: “Early” 2015

A spin-off of Sleeping Dogs, Triad Wars will be an open-world action MMO, with players competing with each other to rise through the ranks of the Hong Kong underworld. The game will be free-to-play when it launches, with microtransaction support for vanity items.

13. Trove

Platforms: PC

Release Date: TBA 2015

Trove centers around a Minecraft-inspired block building mechanic, mixed in with more traditional dungeon crawling and MMO loot systems. Players adventure through procedurally generated, voxel-based environments, with the ability to eventually create your own personal spaces for you and your friends. Developed by Trion Worlds (Defiance, Rift, ArcheAge), the game is currently in open beta, with a full launch planned for later this year.

14. Wander

Platforms: PC, PS4

Release Date: TBA 2015

Wander is an experimental “non-combat, non-competitive, collaborative” MMO where everyone starts as a tree, and grows into… something. I’m honestly not entirely sure, it’s all very mysterious right now.

15. Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade

Platforms: PC, PS4

Release Date: TBA 2015

Set in the Warhammer 40K universe, Eternal Crusade will be an action-centric MMO with a heavy emphasis on third-person shooter gameplay. Payers will choose from four playable races (Space Marines, Orks, Chaos Space Marines, and Eldar), and battle it out in PVP scenarios across the planet of Arkhona. The game will be free-to-play at launch, with players starting out as Orks, and having to unlock or buy new races to play.

16. World of Warships

Platforms: PC, PS4

Release Date: TBA 2015

Wargaming.net has already tackled tanks and aircraft, now they’re moving into naval combat. Players will have access to a wide variety of WWII-era cruisers, destroyers, battleships, and even aircraft carriers. Clans will also be able to compete to control specific regions of an ocean and ports, allowing them to more quickly deploy their forces.
