The seven, in one line each
- WoW Forever: launches November 4, included with an active WoW subscription — no verified sellers listed yet, and beta gold does not carry over, so pre-launch gold listings are pre-orders or wiped beta gold.
- Monster Hunter Outlanders: launches October 29 on iOS and Android — no verified sellers listed yet, so wait for a real market before buying anything for it.
- GTA 6: launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no online mode or PC date announced — no verified sellers listed, and the only safe purchase right now is the game itself.
- Path of Exile: 3.30 launches November 13 (PST) with its reveal at ExileCon, and the current league ends November 9 — 37 verified sellers listed.
- Genshin Impact: Version 7.1 has run since September 23, and 7.2 has no confirmed date despite the cycle pointing at around November 4 — 28 verified sellers listed.
- Diablo 4: Season 15, Season of Hell’s Legacy, has run since September 15, celebrating 30 years of Diablo — 50 verified sellers listed, the most of any game here.
- AION 2: October’s launch is still drawing publisher restriction sweeps, so keep any order small — 11 verified sellers listed.
How to use the vendor counts
A high count means a real market you can compare: Diablo 4’s 50, Path of Exile’s 37 and Genshin’s 28 are markets with competing sellers, prices and delivery claims to check against each other. A zero means MMODude has not verified a market yet — for WoW Forever, Monster Hunter Outlanders and GTA 6, that is the honest state of play days before or after launch, and any seller listing for those games right now is unverified by us. Counts change as markets open; each game page carries the current number.
What it means for buyers
Launch month is when scams peak: fake early-access shops for GTA 6, pre-launch gold listings for WoW Forever, and account sales for games with no market yet. For the three games with no verified sellers, buy nothing third-party until their MMODude pages list sellers. For the four with markets, compare sellers on their game pages, keep first orders small, and pay by a method you can dispute. Our release calendar and our MMO calendar carry the dates above.
