Wildstar

WildStar is the sci-fi MMO that evokes early WoW, and with good reason – its dev team features more Blizzard than the surface of Hoth. When it launched last year, however, its hoverboards hosted fewer players than Carbine were hoping for – so they’re rebooting it in free-to-play this Autumn.
