Next MMO updates & expansions

EVE OnlineFractured Skies (second Theaters of War expansion)

The second of three Theaters of War expansions, continuing the Military Campaigns arc that Cradle of War opened on June 9: four new Military Campaigns building to a showdown in January, and four new Attack Battlecruisers (Naga Navy Issue, Oracle Navy Issue, Talos Navy Issue, Tornado Fleet Issue) earned through Factional Warfare loyalty points. CCP says the first seasonal Conquest follows in February. No launch time has been announced.

EverQuest33rd Expansion: Favors of Fortune

The September 2026 producer's letter named the 2026 expansion Favors of Fortune. Beta and pre-orders opened October 6, and a developer livestream is set for November 17, but no release date or window has been published. EverQuest expansions have shipped each December since 2001, but that is habit, not an announcement — the tracker will record a date when one exists.

Final Fantasy XIVEvercold (8.0 Expansion)

Revealed at the Anaheim Fan Festival in April 2026: the Fourth Reflection, Reborn and Evolved job styles, and a January 2027 target. The official Evercold site still lists January 2027 with no exact day.

World of WarcraftThe Last Titan (11.0 expansion)

The Worldsoul Saga finale after The War Within and Midnight. BlizzCon 2026's opening ceremony gave it a bare "2027" card — no month, season or pre-order — and Blizzard says the full reveal comes "early next year, after the events of Midnight: Eclipse" because more detail would spoil how Midnight's story ends. Ion Hazzikostas called it "the culmination of over two decades of World of Warcraft", laying groundwork for what follows the saga.

The Elder Scrolls OnlineUpdate 52

Game Director Nick Giacomini's July 30 letter moved Update 52 into January 2027 under a 'quality over calendar dates' philosophy; the Crimson Veldt trial (mounted combat) and the next class-and-combat refresh move into 2027 with it.

World of WarcraftPatch 12.2: Eclipse

Midnight's next major content update, revealed at BlizzCon 2026: Xal'atath's push for the Worldsoul, the Mantle Vault zone, the eight-boss Worldcore raid, the Thraegar's Stand dungeon, Season 3 and Midnight's Edge, the saga's first legendary weapon. Blizzard has named no date — Blizzard Watch reports an early-2027 target, and Hazzikostas said The Last Titan's full reveal follows "early next year, once we're on the other side of Eclipse".

World of Warcraft: ForeverFirst content update

Blizzard's launch roadmap schedules the first major content update for spring 2027 — two new raids, two new dungeons, new quests and a new playable area — followed by a summer update. No month or day has been announced; the game's launch raids unlock December 9, 2026.

The Lord of the Rings OnlineThe Wolves of Mordor expansion

Standing Stone Games' next expansion heads into eastern Mordor — three new regions, Sauron's past as the Lord of Wolves, a housing overhaul and a survival-style progression system for the new zones. Pre-orders opened September 30 with an October 21 target; on October 6 SSG pushed launch back one week to October 28 without giving a reason, and added a level 160 boost to every pre-order package. It launched as scheduled on October 28.

The Elder Scrolls OnlineSeason Two: Echoes of Skyrim

ESO's second season, Echoes of Skyrim, went live on October 21, 2026 and runs to January 27, 2027: Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices reworked as solo dungeons, a new Tamriel Tome, and the Greymoor and Wolfhunter DLCs folded into the base game. Update 51 carried most of the season's systems on September 28 (PC/Mac); the Crimson Veldt trial and the next class-and-combat refresh moved to 2027 with Update 52.

Throne and LibertyColossus Vegamor update

The game's first Colossus, Vegamor the Primordial Wanderer — a walking mountain of stone and ice whose cores must be destroyed to break it apart — arrived with Update 4.13.0 on September 24, 2026 on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, adding weekly Tuesday Peace/Guild Vegamor events, Otherworldly Mind's Eyes drops and 10 Eye of Chaos weapon recipes that upgrade Heroic weapons a tier. Originally slotted for August, it was rescheduled while Amazon prepares to hand Western live operations to NC in Q4 2026.

Lost ArkDimensionalist class + Base Camp (Dimensions Unbound)

The Q3 roadmap's September headliners shipped as the Dimensions Unbound update on September 16: the new class teased under the working title Warpweaver launched as the Dimensionalist (clock-inspired weapons that bend time and space), alongside the Mokoko Base Camp: Jump-Up Boost progression event (through January 20, 2027) and a streamlined Tier 3 → Tier 4 honing path. Amazon Game Studios hands Lost Ark's Western service to Smilegate in early 2027.

Guild Wars 2Visions of Eternity: Code of Creation

The last of the expansion's three 2026 updates and the story's finale: the Leyspring Hollows zone, the ten-player Nexus of Eternity raid, the Solitary Throne fractal, a new Convergence, the Wages of Stars legendary sword, and a new Wizard's Vault season. Challenge modes follow on September 29 and the legendary raid difficulty on October 13.

Albion OnlineDragonfire update

Dragons came to Albion on August 31, 2026: the floating Ancient Lands region, Ashborn enemies, Fire Drake mounts, and the 20-player Dragon Sanctuary raid against Azaryon — billed as the toughest PvE fight in the game's history. Shipped simultaneously on PC, console, and mobile.

EverQuestLethar (Time-Locked Expansion server)

The year's second time-locked server opens at 12:00 p.m. PT with the new Personal Loot ruleset, starting from all expansions up to and including The Serpent's Spine. Buried Sea unlocks 12 weeks later, then further expansions every eight weeks. A fresh economy and a level playing field for returning players.

World of WarcraftPatch 12.1: The Curse of Ula'tek

Midnight's first major patch: the Coiled Isle zone, the Altar of Fangs dungeon, new Delves and Lairs, campaign chapters, and housing improvements. Season 2 — the Venomous Abyss raid, a new Mythic+ rotation, and the new PvP season — follows on August 18.
