MMORPG with one of the best class systems gets a sequel in 2026, shows huge battle, but fans only wish for 2 things

It’s time for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG News in 5 Minutes”. We summarize the most important news around the best genre in the world. Expect leaks, music from Wildstar, MMORPG releases, more Halloween parties, and much more.

Highlights of the week:

We know when the next expansion of World of Warcraft will start. The “leak” comes from Blizzard itself through the alpha test. By the way: Crafting in World of Warcraft has become too complex. With Midnight, the developers are tweaking the system, streamlining it a bit.
World of Warcraft Legion Remix started on October 22nd. New dungeons and raids are waiting – but also many new rewards.
Nearly unlimited power – that’s what World of Warcraft Legion Remix promises. Yet the first players have completed it and are “finished”. The grind was indeed that intense. Speaking of which: Slowly but surely, characters in WoW Legion Remix are becoming too strong. So strong that Blizzard has to change a boss.
With Visions of Eternity, the next expansion in the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 arrives on October 28, 2025. And it places a clear focus on more action. MeinMMO editor Alexander Mehrwald was able to see it all in a preview.
As a newcomer to MMORPGs, it’s not always easy to get started. But with Visions of Eternity, Guild Wars 2 offers a good opportunity for anyone who has been unsure so far.
On October 16, 2025, a new sandbox MMORPG called Pax Dei was released on Steam, Epic Games, GeForce Now, and in Game Pass. The developers reveal how many players were active during launch week.
The composer of the music from Wildstar has made his work available for free to all interested parties via Soundcloud. More on Reddit.

What else has happened? Ragnarok Online is one of the classics of the MMORPG genre and has a special place in the heart of MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus. One reason is: the special class system. Next year, a worthy successor, Ragnarok Online 3, is finally set to appear.

Now there was new gameplay footage of a large siege battle. Many fans wish for only 2 things under the video on YouTube: removal of the planned auto-combat feature and a return of the popular card system from part 1, which allowed players to sock cards into equipment pieces to activate effects.
