Released in 2004, World of Warcraft revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre. Amazingly, nearly two decades later, it still retains millions of active players.
While World of Warcraft offers endless content, players who've dedicated hundreds or even thousands of hours might crave a change of pace. Top-tier players have potentially invested years across multiple characters and accounts. For those seeking a new challenge beyond Azeroth, the following games offer compelling alternatives, even if they don't perfectly replicate the WoW experience. Let's explore some of the best games similar to WoW.

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.
