Released in 2004, World of Warcraft revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre. Even two decades later, it retains millions of dedicated players.
While World of Warcraft offers endless content, players who've invested hundreds or thousands of hours might seek alternative challenges. Top-tier players have potentially dedicated years across multiple characters and accounts. For those seeking a change of pace, the following games offer compelling alternatives, even if they don't perfectly replicate the WoW experience. They provide similar engaging gameplay. Let's explore some of the best games similar to WoW.
Updated January 10, 2025 by Mark Sammut: Late 2024 saw the release of several significant titles, but none directly comparable to WoW.

Path of Exile 2's early access release also presents a solid option for action RPG enthusiasts.
A single-player Final Fantasy title has been added to the recommendations.
