In 2021, there will finally be new MMORPGs that can captivate you again. But which one are you looking forward to the most?
This is how it was in recent years: From 2018 to 2020, there were basically hardly any new MMORPGs. The highlights were the re-releases of WoW Classic and ArcheAge Unchained. However, those were not completely new.
New releases, on the other hand, could hardly convince:
- Bless Online was discontinued after less than a year
- Astellia was okay but did not make big waves among players
- Maple Story 2 was also relatively quickly shut down in the West after release
Overall, the ratings of the MMORPGs that have been released since 2018 are rather weak. But 2021 could finally change that.
Will 2021 be the year of MMORPGs?
Which MMORPGs are set to be released? Officially, 10 new releases have been announced for 2021:
- Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis is set to be released in June
- Swords of Legends Online plans to release in “Summer 2021”
- Bless Unleashed is also set to be released on PC in the summer
- New World is celebrating its release on August 31 and will hold a beta in July
- Elyon is set to be released in Q4 2021 and is already holding a beta in May
- Corepunk is also planning its release for the 4th quarter
- Virtueverse is expected to be released by the end of 2021
- Lost Ark has been announced by Amazon for 2021
- Crowfall is expected to release in 2021
- Project TL by NCSoft is also set to appear in 2021, although it is unclear whether this refers to the global release
In addition, Ashes of Creation is starting its first public alpha tests. There will be plenty of gameplay to see, and possibly some of you will even participate.

We at MeinMMO will evaluate this survey in the coming weeks and present you with a closer look at the most anticipated MMORPGs.
Disclaimer: For this survey, we only included MMORPGs that are said to be released in 2021 in our Western region. Whether all these games will actually make their release in 2021 is questionable. Furthermore, there are other exciting MMORPGs like Blue Protocol or Tower of Fantasy that we did not include because there is no official statement regarding a release.
