Preview of Upcoming PvP MMORPGs with Interesting Concepts
Crowfall
The PvP MMORPG Crowfall places a high value on player versus player battles and is set to be released in 2019. This essentially represents the focus. Every player has a so-called Eternal Kingdom, which they can design as they wish. However, resources are needed for this, which must be collected in the dying worlds.

You assume a role per campaign and then try to obtain as many resources and achievements as possible during the campaign’s duration. Other players aim to do the same, leading to open PvP combat including sieges. At the end of the campaign, you return to your Eternal Kingdom and further expand it with your rewards.
Crowfall follows a round-based approach. You do not play in a world that remains, but rather the game world is repeatedly destroyed, and campaigns start over.
Camelot Unchained
The MMORPG Camelot Unchained is an unofficial successor to Dark Age of Camelot and is set to enter beta in July 2018. Those who know this game understand that it centers around faction wars and sieges. PvE plays almost no role. The focus is solely on improving your hero to compete effectively in the huge PvP battles between the opposing parties.
Realm versus Realm battles are thus at the forefront. Besides, there are also housing, crafting, and a player-driven economy. All of these aspects are influenced by PvP battles. For instance, players will fight over important resource sources just as much as for strategically important fortifications.
A:IR – Ascent: Infinite Realm
Ascent: Infinite Realm emphasizes battles both on land and in the air. You use airships available in various forms, from small, fast scout ships to huge battleships. PvP battles are divided into different phases:
- With your airship, you advance to the enemy base and clear out opposing ships in the way. You also have to watch out for mechs that shoot at you from the ground.
- After this aerial battle, you leave the ship behind and fight your way on foot through the enemy’s fortress.
- In the last phase, you try to destroy the core of the fortress to ultimately secure victory for you and your team.
Thus, A:IR aims to breathe life into the tired MMORPG genre
Ashes of Creation
In the upcoming MMORPG Ashes of Creation, PvP is an integral part of the game. PvP is essentially possible everywhere and is designed to fit naturally into the world. Typical PvP scenarios include:
- Escorting a caravan attacked by players
- Sieges of cities
- Wars between city-states
Ashes of Creation could be the western MMORPG we’ve all been waiting for
Additionally, players can temporarily transform into a monster through the monster coin system and attack other players or cities. Laws and guards ensure that PvP is not unfair. The developers of Ashes of Creation still want to clarify how this will be implemented.
Chronicles of Elyria
Wars play an important role in Chronicles of Elyria, and naturally, this means there will be plenty of PvP. The developers want to integrate an open-PvP system where players can essentially be ambushed at any time. However, PvP outside of wars is illegal, which does not mean it is impossible.
What is Chronicles of Elyria? The MMORPG with the aging process
If you are caught murdering another player character, you will be sent to prison. This has severe consequences. The time spent in prison is deducted from the character’s lifespan. And this is limited in Chronicles of Elyria. This means your hero will eventually die, and anyone spending a lot of time in prison has less time to take care of important matters. After a character’s death, you must purchase a life spark for real money. Therefore, you should think twice before attacking other players outside of wars.
