While the new releases for the MMORPG genre are disappointing, some of the established online role-playing games are preparing for the hottest month of the year 2025.
What can we expect in October? Let’s quickly go through the key dates for the upcoming MMORPG month:
- October 7/8: For WoW starts Legion Remix
- October 9: Blue Protocol: Star Resonance celebrates its final release on PC and Mobile
- October 13: In Elder Scrolls Online the first server-wide event around the “writhing wall” starts
- October 13: The new season Nighthaven starts in New World
- October 28: With Visions of Eternity the new expansion for Guild Wars 2 starts
All Important Information about the MMORPG Highlights in October
What do I need to know about WoW Legion Remix? The next remix version of World of Warcraft deals with one of the best expansions of all time: Legion from 2016. Included: Great new features like the Order Halls with their class quests and the stylish artifact weapons.
As was the case with Mists of Pandaria Remix, you can expect a version with significantly increased character progression, a partly adjusted player experience, and numerous rewards for your collections as well as the soon starting housing feature.
Why should I look forward to the new event from ESO? Large server-wide events can become some of the biggest highlights in the history of an MMORPG. Just think of the opening of Ahn’Qiraj from Vanilla WoW. The upcoming world event in Tamriel is expected to leave a similar impression and bring the community closer together.
In the course of the event, you will work together with all players on your server over several phases to break down the insurmountable wall on the island of Midsummer.
By completing the event, the events that initiate the finale of the current season will be set in motion. The developers are intentionally focusing on competition between the servers: Who reaches the goal first?
What does the new season of New World bring? Fans of New World are in for perhaps the most exciting season since the Aeternum reboot. Nighthaven brings the eponymous area, a new story quest line, a fresh catacombs mode, another Outpost Storm map, and a 10-player raid.
In addition, the season overhauls the previous endgame of New World in terms of systems, progress, gear, and rewards. This addresses several criticisms from the community.
While several online role-playing games have already been released this year, they have almost universally disappointed. You can find all the details here: 9 new MMORPGs have been released in 2025 – the ranking of shame reveals which game disappointed the most
What are the highlights of Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity? With the new expansion of Guild Wars 2, new elite specializations for all classes, powerful abilities for the Skimmer mount, and 2 fresh areas full of content, challenges, and rewards (such as legendary weapons) will come.
With the expansion, the housing introduced in Janthir Wilds will be further expanded. MeinMMO editor Jasmin was already able to see this from the developers: The new housing in Guild Wars 2 lets you chill on the beach of Tyria, but one thing other MMOs still do better
What can I expect in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance? The rebirth of the actually discontinued anime MMORPG Blue Protocol from Bandai Namco returns with the subtitle “Star Resonance”, and with major adjustments.
You can expect a theme park MMORPG that primarily wants to score points with fast dungeons, powerful world bosses, and a nice community system with housing and guilds. MeinMMO author Cedric was already able to extensively play in the beta and, despite some weaknesses, had a lot of fun: After 50 hours in the anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, I found the strengths, even though it can be annoying on paper
