Last week, we announced our award for MMO of the Year; it once again went to Final Fantasy XIV. You might notice that XIV didn’t actually launch this year; it was eligible for our award, however, because years back we expanded the category to include MMOs that launched before 2015, primarily in the hopes of avoiding a repeat of our 2014 “nothing” vote.
But it’s certainly possible to whittle it down to just a list of MMOs and similar games that launched strictly in 2018. So which one is the best? Let’s find out. For the purposes of this poll, we’ve included a wide range of newish MMORPGs, MMOs, and MMO-adjacent multiplayer sandboxes, but not battle royale games, MOBAs, or shooters, since those are another orbit out. We also included a range of games in various states of launch, from completely and totally out of the gate to early access.
