Thanks to nearly 25 years of existence, the EverQuest universe is vast.

EverQuest has come to various platforms with different genres and spin-offs. PC, PlayStation, mobile, real-time strategy, MMO, hack and slash. There’s a little something for everyone. As it should be for a vast intellectual property.

Technology has changed and changed again. Some games have thrived, while others no longer exist.

So, just how many games are there in the EverQuest universe? The EverQuest Show has put them all together for you here.

PC Games

EverQuest + 29 expansions

The game that started it all. The first entry into the EverQuest franchise and brought with it an already rich lore and storyline.

EverQuest is still going strong as it approaches 24 years online, with ongoing production of expansions, which number 28 shipped expansions and 1 likely to be announced for Q4 2022. Here’s a look at EverQuest Through The Ages.

Check out the EverQuest Show’s Top 10 expansions in EverQuest. As well as the Top 10 worst EverQuest expansions.

Gems

Who doesn’t remember playing /gems?!? The Tetris-like game uses original EverQuest spell gems cascading downward with both positive and negative results.

Waiting on those Luclin spires to fire off? Why not /gems.

Waiting on that epic camp mob to spawn? Or just bored at your current camp while you wait on respawn. Well then /gems was the answer.

The game is still active inside EQ only.

---

EverQuest II + 19 expansions

A sequel to the original was conceived not long after the success of the original EverQuest became apparent.

Talk of Blizzard releasing World of Warcraft accelerated the release of EQ 2 with it’s more modern graphics and years of success in what EverQuest did right and wrong.

Expansion production continues with the latest of 19 expansions arriving in late 2022.

Lords of EverQuest

Sony Online Entertainment took the lore and characters of EverQuest and turned it into a real-time strategy.

The game stands up well and is still playable with the game discs. You can see the EverQuest Show’s review of Lords of EverQuest as well as the long list of celebrities that helped to voice many of the characters.

EverQuest Next

Where to begin.

An EverQuest “3” was teased for years, and work on the project had been started and scrapped at least three times when EverQuest Next was officially announced in 2012.

Excitement was furious as the players were given an inside look into the creation of the game, and even assisted in creating content for the game through its sister game: Landmark.

However, the ambitious project was scrapped in 2016 after the directon of the game was deemed “not fun” by leads at Daybreak Games.

Check out The Game Archaeologist’s article about the Rise and Fall of EverQuest Next and Landmark over on MassivelyOP.

Landmark

After EverQuest Next’s announcement in 2012, players were asked to help create content for the game using developer tools.

Those developer tools were crafted into a game that looked to capitalize on the success of Minecraft.

Players could create content after collecting materials and build monuments of various themes and detail.

With the cancellation of EverQuest Next in 2016, Landmark’s future was questionable at minimum. The game was shut down in February of 2017.

Legends of Norrath

Some of the most beautiful artwork in the EverQuest universe is thanks to Legends of Norrath, EverQuest’s entry into the digital Trading Card Game category.

The digital cards found inside the online game decks took the lore, creatures, weaponry and locations of the EverQuest universe and created a vast library or art and imagery.

The game was initially only available inside EQ and EQ2, but eventually it came with it’s own stand along client.

It has been heralded as a very well-produced TCG by itself, but many of the MMO players enjoyed the Loot Cards found inside the digital booster packs.

The game has been sunset and is no longer playable.

PlayStation 2 Games

Champions of Norrath

A hack and slash action RPG for the PlayStation that just happens to be set in the EverQuest universe. That’s the simplest way to describe Champions of Norrath.

Some players may not have even know the connection to the original EverQuest game. And that’s ok.

The game itself did pretty well, receiving favorable reviews and selling well enough that a sequal was created.

If you have the PS2 disc, the game is still playable!

---

Champions of Norrath: Return to Arms

The sequel to the popular PS2 game Champions of Norrath.

While it wasn’t as popular or well-reviewed as the original, it did add Iksar and Vah Shir characters.

You can still play Return to Arms with the PS2 disc and a PlayStation 2 or compatible console.

---

EverQuest Online Adventures + 1 expansion (Frontiers)

The third incarnation of an MMORPG set in the EverQuest universe. This one is set 500 years prior to the original EverQuest game.

The game was only playable on PlayStation 2 in an online capacity.

One expansion was released for the game, called Frontiers, adding a new playable race and class as well as content.

EQOA was shut down in 2012 but the game has a fierce online community following. Several emulator projects are ongoing to bring EQOA back to life.

Mobile Games

Hero’s Call

Before the days of Android versus iPhone, there were a variety of flavors of mobile phone operating systems and development environments.

Along with “apps” and programs on those phones, of course people wanted to play games. Enter EverQuest : Hero’s Call for mobile.

It was available for phones with the BREW environment. The game allegedly was a fairly simple hack and slash but had plenty of content set in the EQ Universe.

---

Hero’s Call 2

Very little detail about the sequel to Hero’s Call can be found.

But the game was also created for the BREW OS for mobile devices.

---

EverQuest : Pocket PC

Separate from Hero’s Call, another EverQuest game was developed for mobile devices, but this time for PDAs with the Pocket PC Windows OS.

You can see the EverQuest Show’s review of EverQuest Mobile games here.

EverQuest: Pocket PC II : Attack on Qeynos

EverQuest for the Pocket PC actually came in 3 installments. They were essentially expansions for the original EverQuest for Pocket PC.

---

EverQuest: Pocket PC III : War on Faydwer

The 3rd installment of EverQuest for the Pocket PC. This time it takes place in Faydwer.

---

EverQuest 2 Mobile companion

Want to access your EQ2 character while away from the game? Then you could download the EQ2 mobile app.

You could chat with your guild mates and friends in the game from your phone, or use the EQ2 guild tools. All from your Android, iOS or BlackBerry device!

Unfortunately the app has been discontinued and no longer functions.

EverQuest Worlds

To accompany the development frenzy around EverQuest Next, and tier the EverQuest franchise together, the EverQuest Worlds app was released.

For EQ fans, this had everything you could want: : Access to exclusive content regarding the development and lore of EQ Next, rewards in EQ and EQ2 and mini games that keep you occupied for hours, all set in the EQ universe.

There were several mini-games within the app, and many were decent games that I still wish I could play even now.

Unfortunately, the plug on EverQuest Worlds was pulled on March 31, 2016, just after the announcement of EQ Next’s cancelation.

EverQuest World Mini Games

Book of Magic

A “process of elimination” type game using colored gems contained within EverQuest Worlds. Think of it like a colorful Sodoku.

EQ Franchise Trivia

Mineral Match

A Candy Crush type game within the EverQuest World’s app.

Defenders of Norrath

One of my favorite mini-games in the EverQuest Worlds app. waves of gnolls, skeletons and more attack the walls of Qeynos.

Basic castle-defense against the clock and ever increasing numbers and speed of enemies. But great fun.

EverGuess

Inside the EverQuest Worlds app was the word scramble puzzle game, EverGuess.

Pretty simple. EverQuest locations, names and words that are all mixed up.

Hero of Kelethin

An additional mini-game added later to the EverQuest Worlds app was Hero of Kelethin.

What newb hasn’t fallen from the tree city of Kelethin? In this game you use the huts of Kelethin to save falling characters from their death.
