5 MMOs That Deserve Another Chance In 2024
26.12.2023 - 19:58 / mmorpg.com / Zenless Zone Zero
2023 was a good year for MMORPGs. Even without a major new MMO release, we saw plenty of good expansions hit older MMOs. Even with the expansion hoopla, I spent less time playing MMOs in 2023 than in any year since 2004. I just couldn't pull myself away from all of the great single-player and co-op titles that were released this year. Baldur’s Gate 3, a trip back to Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Motorsport, and several other great games took every minute of gaming I had available.
After a year away from MMOs, I feel like I'm ready to catch up on everything MMO that I missed in 2023. With the new year just around the corner, I’ve compiled a list of 5 MMORPGs that I want to revisit in 2024. And, just like in 2023, I can think of at least five single-player games that could end up getting in the way.
I spent a few months gathering and crafting when Albion Online was released back in 2017. Albion Online has always been focused on PvP, and after a while, I realized I didn’t have the time to spend working in a high-end guild to advance to the higher tier content.
2023 saw some major updates for Albion Online , which included improvements to personal islands and farming — things that I have always enjoyed. Tracking was also introduced, giving a new option for PvE addicts. Those two updates alone are enough to have me wanting to give Albion Online another try in 2024, and if I can keep away from all of those single-player games, maybe I will be able to dedicate the time I need to get in with a decent guild this time around.
It didn’t even take me the full six hours of the recent Skull & Bones Beta test to know that I need to clear my calendar for when it releases on February 16, 2024, leaving at least the back half of February MMO-free. In this rags-to-riches adventure, we will take over as captain after a terrible defeat at the hands of the British Navy. As our infamy rises, we’ll be able to expand our fleet and bring more cannons to bear against our enemies in a shared-ocean filled with quests and co-op and PvP multiplayer combat as we become the greatest pirate kingpin the world has ever known.
What real gamer hasn’t given Elder Scrolls Online a try? I know I have. Several times. But for some reason, ESO just hasn’t resonated with me the way all of the single-player Elder Scrolls games have.
Now, with the rogue-lite addition of theEndless Archives, there’s a new way to play ESO . Sure, it’s not exactly what I’m looking for, but I have always enjoyed tower climbs in other MMOs. Add in all of the other updates that make ESO more inviting to a solo player — tons of solo content that scales to your level, companions to help you battle the harder difficulty stuff, and the addition of the Arcanist in the

Now that it’s on Game Pass, don’t miss the Assassin’s Creed game that’s not like any other
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla does something different in comparison to the other games in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise — it deemphasizes stealth. It’s something Eivor, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s main character, states outright when she declines to conceal her assassin’s blade under her cloak. She wants her enemies to know what’s coming. It makes sense for Valhalla to be the Assassin’s Creed game that deviates from the well-established loop of tedious, precise stealth-based missions that Ubisoft has relied on with the series since its inception. This game is a Viking game, and Vikings aren’t known for their subtlety; in Valhalla, Eivor has her not-so-hidden blade, yes, but also an ax or heavy broadsword.

From the delightfully buggy auto-scroller platforming of to the run-and-gun action of, Night City is full of arcade treasures for V to get sucked into. Of course, by 2077, most interactive entertainment has been replaced by Braindances, or BDs, neural recreations of all the thoughts, emotions, and feelings a real individual experienced while doing something thrilling. But arcade cabinets still line the back walls of shops, restaurants, and bars, and the denizens of Night City frequently compete for high scores in some of the day's biggest releases.
