The year 2023 is almost over and has already brought you some new MMORPGs. We at MeinMMO will briefly introduce five of them here. Check out the trailers to possibly find the next game on Steam for the last months of the year.
What kind of MMORPGs are these? The games you find on this list have already been released in 2023 and are playable on Steam. Titles that are in Alpha or Beta have not been included in this list.
Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore
Genre: Indie RPG | Developer: Gellyberry Studios | Platform: PC/Steam | Release Date: May 1, 2023 | Model: Free2Play
What to expect: Ethyrial is an RPG from an indie developer and lures you with a medieval setting, which you can now play for free. As seen in the trailer, you shouldn’t expect modern or realistic graphics, as everything is rather in a clunky style.
Otherwise, the trailer promises you everything one could wish for from an MMORPG. Battles, crafting, gathering materials, and exploring regions. Whether you can overlook the rather old-fashioned graphics and the mostly negative reactions is something you will have to decide for yourself.
Wayfinder
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Airship Syndicate | Platform: PC/Steam | Release Date: August 17, 2023 | Model: Paid
What to expect: Wayfinder is an action-adventure with RPG elements. As you can already see in the trailer, Wayfinder leads you into a colorful fantasy world full of magical and dark powers, fantastic creatures, and vibrant regions. This fantasy world mixes with more modern technology and weapons, with factories and bustling cities.
Wayfinder promises you an exciting online adventure with your friends and a vast world to explore.
Bless Global
Genre: Fantasy RPG | Developer: Tigon Mobile | Platform: PC/Steam | Release Date: March 1, 2023 | Model: Free2Play
What to expect: Bless Global is an RPG that throws you into a fantasy world. The setting of the game not only resembles a western-style medieval period but also many different places from the real world – including Venice and various desert areas.
The game is a reboot of Bless Online and is also available on smartphones. So, if you want to dive into the world of Bless titles through your smartphone, Bless Global might be just right for you.
Sojo
Genre: Action RPG | Developer: bagoDev LLC | Platform: PC/Steam | Release Date: August 18, 2023 | Model: Paid
What to expect: Sojo is an adventure RPG in an open world that you can explore online with other players. As the trailer shows, you can expect turn-based battles in a medieval-style world.
You can also expect platformer and puzzle elements in the current early access. Realistic graphics should not be your main criterion for a good game if you want to try Sojo. However, the game promises you plenty of opportunities and features to explore.
Verdict: Descent
Genre: Pixel art RPG | Developer: Godscape | Platform: PC/Steam | Release Date: September 30, 2023 | Model: Free2Play
What to expect: Verdict: Descent is an RPG in a pixel graphic style and takes you, as seen in the trailer, to many different areas – from deserts to large cities or through old ruins.
The game promises you many adventures with your own character and the opportunity to explore the created world. Meet various characters who can either become your friends or whom you must confront in battle.
For those who enjoy charming pixel graphics, Verdict: Descent could definitely be worth a look.
