Rank 1 – Shroud of the Avatar
Shroud of the Avatar has already been introduced by us in more detail. We believe that Richard “Lord British” Garriott’s latest game has the potential to shake up the genre.
Although visually it doesn’t look like much right now and the ongoing pre-alpha doesn’t include all features, what can already be played shows quite well what direction it’s supposed to take. A mix of the sandbox of Ultima Online and the vibrant, highly interactive world full of adventures of the esteemed Ultima single-player RPGs – combined with an exciting story from bestselling author Tracy Hickman. It all sounds simply fantastic at first. Hopefully, SotA will still be released by the end of the year.

Not enough yet? You can find more titles in the article “5 Indie MMOs that promise a lot” by Antares. And what about 2017? Although it will take a while until then, with Crowfall, which appeals to genre-weary fans, a hot iron is already shaping up.
