The new WoW expansion Dragonflight is set to be released in 2022. Two new MMORPGs have also announced their release for this year. Additionally, there were updates on new content in New World and Lost Ark, as well as more MMORPG news that we have compiled in this weekly recap for you.
The highlights of the week:
- WoW Dragonflight will be released still in 2022. We will tell you which version of the expansion is the most worthwhile.
- Mist Legacy is a new MMORPG on Steam, which has announced its full release for September 2022.
- Chimeraland is a new game where you can create crazy beast creatures. The release here in the West has been officially announced for the summer.
The excitement of the week: In Lost Ark, many players were expecting the release of the June update last week. But Amazon remained silent for a long time and did not communicate. Then a community manager revealed that the team has been blocked for weeks.
In the end, however, Amazon had good news. The new patch is coming on June 30 and it removes a Pay2Win feature that exists in Korea.
The discussion of the week: Is the release of Dragonflight too early? Is the expansion too expensive? Both issues are currently being discussed in the community:
Lost Ark introduces new class, New World shows the biggest patch since release
What happened with the major MMORPGs:
- In WoW Classic, the beta for Wrath of the Lich King has started – but with many bugs. In addition, adjustments to the legendary raids have been announced. One player has sold huge amounts of gold in WoW Gold to invest 46,000 euros in Diablo Immortal.
- Lost Ark has announced the next class in Korea – a magician with an umbrella. Additionally, the leaders of 12 of the largest guilds were banned, all of whom were the same person.
- Guild Wars 2 has provided a preview of the patch on June 28, bringing a feature that many players have been waiting for 7 years.
- The ESO expansion High Isle was released this week on console. There, especially the farming spots for the new Oak Soul Ring have been overrun, as this video shows. We from MeinMMO have also looked at the development history in detail: ESO was really bad at launch and is now one of the best MMORPGs – what happened?
What happened with the smaller MMORPGs:
- New World has introduced the summer patch. It will be the largest update so far, bringing dungeons, dungeon finder, musical instruments, and numerous revisions. We have checked how New World is doing 9 months after release: 9 months ago, New World was a huge hit on Steam and was considered an MMO hope – where does it stand today?
- As part of the Steam Summer Sale, the trilogy of Guild Wars 1 is on sale, which is very rare. Additionally, there are 7 other MMORPGs on sale that we have also compiled in the article.
- In Tibia Online, a player bought a shield that only exists once in the MMORPG – for the equivalent of 15,000 euros.
- TERA will be shut down on June 30. Those who want to play or test the action MMORPG have only a few days left.
- Swords of Legends has released the new patch 2.1. It included a new area, two new dungeons, the start of the new PvP season, and mini-games, including a cooking duel (via Gameforge).
- Aion has announced the new patch 8.3 (via Aion).
- Elyon has introduced the upcoming summer update with a new class (via YouTube).
What happened with the MMORPGs in development?
- Palia, the MMO reminiscent of Animal Crossing, has shared new details on gameplay and possible combat.
- The creators of Lost Ark are testing a new MMORPG – focusing on PvE.
- The gaming giant Tencent will introduce a new MMORPG in Unreal Engine 5 on June 27 (via Facebook). We from MeinMMO will keep you updated on this.
That was the news of this week from the world of MMORPGs at a glance. Tell us, what was your personal highlight of the week? Or did we perhaps forget something important? Feel free to write it in the comments here at MeinMMO.
