MMORPGs Ende 2026

In the 4th quarter of 2026, several MMORPGs are expected to be available for you to play thanks to test phases, early access launches, or final releases. MeinMMO presents the new online role-playing games.

What kind of MMORPGs are these? We present new online role-playing games that you can still play in some form in the remaining months of 2026. So, we look at upcoming test phases, early access launches, and final releases. We focus on all MMORPGs for which official dates have already been confirmed. If it is currently only “4th quarter 2026”, unfortunately that will not be included.

WoW: Forever – Experience the old Azeroth anew

The most important key data:

What distinguishes the game? For years, fans of the classic World of Warcraft have wished for a Classic-Plus variant that takes an alternative path before the first expansion Burning Crusade. At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard presented their own interpretation of this desire and announced WoW: Forever for November.

The ongoing beta, which has been running for weeks, already shows that Forever is more than just a Classic Plus. The developers are not only adjusting the endgame but also the well-known leveling phase through Azeroth. The path to level 60 is expanded with fresh quests, zones, dungeons, and rewards. New features such as the legacy system or camping are also included.

WoW: Forever – These are the features of Classic Plus in the trailer

WoW: Forever is intended to exist alongside modern World of Warcraft and WoW Classic, as part of the regular subscription and without an expiration date. This is not a limited-time season or an experiment, but the foundation for something that will accompany us for many years and which the developers want to gradually expand with new content for level 60 characters.

Anyone who enjoys the relaxed gaming experience of WoW Classic but wants to start a new adventure should mark November 4th or 5th thick and red in their calendar.
