5 Ember sword
If you’re limited to what your PC can handle, then you might want to check in with Ember Sword. This is an MMORPG, but it’s a browser-based video game. From what it looks like, this is more of a community-focused game with players having the ability to go through Ember Sword in a sandbox-style game. You can do various things in this game, from unlocking new skills, exploring what the world has to offer, and partaking in the player economy. Ember Sword is still a ways off as it looks like we’re just going to see a closed alpha build this year, but there’s a chance we’ll see a more open beta hit before 2022 arrives. Of course, that might be wishful thinking on our part. With that said, players can expect this game to hit PC first, but afterward, the developers will focus on a mobile release. We could see Ember Sword hit console platforms from there, but that’s the future goals charted out by the developer team right now.
6 Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis
Phantasy Star Online is one of the more classic MMORPG titles over the years. This game launched in 2000 and grew a huge following which in 2012 allowed Phantasy Star Online 2 to happen. Unfortunately, that sequel installment was only available in Japan for many fans, with western markets not receiving the title until several years later, in 2020. Now this year, in particular, we received Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. Sega felt that the best thing to do was offer an update to new players wanting to enjoy Phantasy Star Online 2.
Rather than being a new all-around video game title, think of this as an update to Phantasy Star Online 2. New Genesis was set to come out after Episode 6 for Phantasy Star Online 2. This will keep players going through the next narrative story while offering upgrades to the mechanics and visuals. Fortunately, your accounts will be set for the game’s release as well, so don’t worry about losing any progress, characters, or gear from your time in Phantasy Star Online 2. With that said, if you haven’t played Phantasy Star Online 2 and want to experience the game and its narrative storylines, then you’ll still be able to make a brand new account as both titles will coexist.
