The Best Games To Play If You Like World Of Warcraft

World of Warcraft, released in 2004, revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre and continues to captivate millions of players even two decades later. While WoW offers endless content, veteran players who've invested countless hours might seek a change of pace. This list provides compelling alternatives that offer a similar, albeit different, experience. These games may not perfectly replicate WoW, but they provide engaging challenges for those seeking a new adventure.

Updated January 10, 2025 by Mark Sammut: Late 2024 saw the release of several major titles, but none closely resembled WoW. While Infinity Nikki deserves mention for its visually stunning open world and addictive gameplay, it's vastly different from Blizzard's MMO. Path of Exile 2's early access release also provides a solid option for action RPG enthusiasts. A single-player Final Fantasy title has been added to the recommendations.
