Early Access MMORPGs

Raph Koster's return to sandbox MMOs — a simulated galaxy of editable worlds carrying Star Wars Galaxies' torch.

The Dark Age of Camelot successor promising realm-vs-realm at massive scale — a 2013 Kickstarter still fighting to ship.

Shiro Games' cozy MMO-lite action RPG: climb, glide and dive across the open world of Siagarta, mixing classes, jobs and 100+ weapons solo or in co-op.

System Era's massively multiplayer take on Astroneer: join the ESS Starseeker's crew, drop onto strange planets with dozens of other players and complete planet-wide expedition goals together.

A class-based action MMORPG openly modeled on Ragnarok Online — deep card-and-gear build depth, world-boss grinding and a fair cosmetic-only shop — from Australian solo developer Phil Yum, launched into Early Access in July 2026.

A Tibia-inspired old-school MMORPG from indie studio Trinitas — knight, mage or rogue in a seamless hand-crafted pixel world that cites Tibia, Diablo, Old School RuneScape and Tolkien, and promises challenge without pay-to-win.

A one-world sandbox where every player shares a single earth and builds civilization from wilderness — quietly ambitious.

A 'Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure' that distills WoW's Mythic+ endgame into a standalone game: pick a hero, form a group, push endlessly scaling dungeons through seasonal leagues.

A grim MMOFPS on a Soviet island swallowed by an anomalous zone — STALKER-flavored exploration, crafting and survival with PvE missions and opt-in PvP territories.

A blockchain-based space survival MMO from EVE Online's creators — Riders scrape a living from a hostile, player-owned galaxy where ships, structures and economy all live on-chain.

Jagex's co-operative survival game set on Ashenfall, a RuneScape continent where the dragons have woken — gather, skill, build and fight in parties of up to four.

The Flash-era Fantasy Online reborn by its original creator — a free-to-play 2D pixel MMORPG you can open in a browser tab, with classless stat builds, crafting, a player marketplace, and an optional Steam Early Access client.

The long-gestating EverQuest spiritual successor, finally playable in Early Access — grouping is mandatory, and that's the point.

An isometric MMO with MOBA DNA — fog of war, skillshots, and open-world danger in a weird western-cyber-fantasy mashup.

Andrew Gower's return to MMOs — a cozy, episodic professions grinder with RuneScape's soul and a divisive structure.

The nomadic survival MMO of giant wind-powered walking machines — a brilliant premise that returned to seasonal development with Season 6 in March 2026, though the cadence has since slowed: the last shipped patch was Chapter 2 in May, and a Chapter 3 publicly targeted for July had not arrived by late August.

The most funded game ever and still in alpha — a breathtaking space sim MMO perpetually five years away.
