Welcome to the Otherland MMO Wiki!

Otherland was an Unreal-powered MMORPG based on the highly acclaimed novels by Tad Williams. The Otherland MMO was an ambitious title, set in the multiverse— a network of virtual worlds each with their own unique and distinctive style. This ranged from the Sci-fi and Cyberpunk themed Lambda Mall to the medieval castles of 8Squared to the Steampunk themed Mars and everything in between. The unique subject matter for the game allowed for an incredible variety of visually stunning landscapes, NPCs, outfits and weapons, all connected by a gripping storyline set after the conclusion of the books.

  • DRAGO-Entertainment brought Otherland to Steam Early Access on September 10th 2015.
  • The game left Early Access and became free to play on September 21st 2016.
  • Otherlands first major content expansion, the Fire Isle expansion was released on November 12th 2018 and the game rebranded to Otherland: Next.
  • Otherland was shut down on the 13th October 2021.

This wiki was created by the players for the players when the game was live. It now serves as an archive to all the unusual brilliance of the Otherland MMO for those who never got to experience it, or those who want to remember their time with it.
