These days, it seems as though you can’t toss a fireball without hitting a medieval MMORPG. Despite having some clear outliers in the field of space-faring MMORPGs like EVE Online and kickstarted in-development titles like Star Citizen we’ve compiled a list of 6 upcoming games that fall outside of the traditional medieval fantasy themes that so many games are modeled after.
Project LLL stands out in the gaming landscape by eschewing traditional medieval fantasy themes for a distinct setting in an alternate reality Seoul. The game is an open-world MMO third-person shooter where players encounter an unusual mix of humans, mutants, and powerful demons across different eras and technological advancements??.. While there may be instances where players will be taken back in time to more medieval themed worlds, players should expect a more futuristic, third-person shooter feel that feel more at home with Western science fiction shooters such as Destiny 2. ?
As of now, Project LLL appears to be a promising venture with the potential to appeal to a global audience, and was recently showcased during G-Star last week. There is currently no release date, and if NCSOFT’s recent presentations are any indication, we’ll likely see the initial launch to hit Korea before it stretches out to a global audience.

RF Online Next has completely shirked the typical medieval fantasy theme for over a decade by embracing a unique science-fiction setting. Published by Netmarble and developed by Netmarble N2, this massively multiplayer online RPG is set to offer some high-flying, robot blasting sci-fi action.

Currently, RF Online Next is gearing up for its release, planned for 2024 on PC and mobile devices. With plans to maintain the largescale high-tech battle elements from its predecessor, enabling players to engage in expansive battles over key resources, it’s clear that this game will appeal to gamers that are looking for something that completely transcends medieval magic and sword mastery. RF Online Next will launch initially in Korea, but make its way to global launch some time afterwards????.

Nintendo has been making some moves to broaden its IP further. We have various video games and consoles. However, it wasn’t long ago that Nintendo saw the release of their Super Mario Bros animated film. Likewise, Nintendo even brought their IPs to life through the Universal Theme Parks. Select theme parks have a Nintendo world attached to them, giving fans of their beloved Mario franchise a chance to dive into the world. Filled with themed merchandise and rides, it has been a big hit. But we know that the Nintendo World will soon get an expansion, giving fans a chance to step into the world of Donkey Kong Country.

If you know me then you know that I dislike the Bullet-hell genre. Yet, the last game I played that had Bullet-hell elements was The Knight Witch, and I fell in love with that game (which by the way, if you have not played yet, I highly recommend you do so). Fast-forward to today, I needed a game to scratch that itch of a Metroidvania and bullet-hell in one, and TEVI didn’t disappoint me.
