Which classes can you choose from in NextWorld2?
NextWorld2, the free, unique Hungarian-developed fantasy MMORPG, offers four playable classes: Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, and Ezra. Each has their own weapons, abilities, and a background rooted in the history of Kigan, so picking your class is your first big decision in the game. Check out the short descriptions below to get to know all four, and for detailed ability lists and videos, click on each class's own page.
Warrior
The Warrior is a master of combat, made the best soldier by their strong arms and brave heart. In melee, they deal massive blows to enemies with superhuman physical strength. Their name echoes through Kigan's history: Warrior Inquisitors were the finest fighters of Kigan, and they still fight for good today. The two specializations are Inquisitor and Protector: the Inquisitor deals the highest damage with magic-empowered blades, while the Protector's Light Armor gives immunity to knockback. Learn more about the Warrior.
Ninja
The Ninja is a child of the shadows, an assassin shadow knight: they strike by surprise and are masters of daggers and bows. In Kigan's story, the ancestors of ninjas, the Shadow Knights, once served the Demon Regent. The Shadowblade specialization strikes up close from the shadows, while the Marksman takes down targets from afar with deadly accurate arrows. Learn more about the Ninja.
Shaman
The Shaman is the herald of nature and a master of white magic: they heal, protect, and empower allies with spells, while destroying enemies with elemental forces. In Kigan's story, the Shaman League united the good mages against black magic. The Dragonborn specialization focuses on protective white magic and dragon-powered attacks, while the Stormborn uses ranged elemental magic and heals teammates. Learn more about the Shaman.
Ezra
Ezra is the dark mage of life-stealing: they empower their weapon with the energy of stolen souls and gain superhuman strength through dark spells. Their name in Kigan's history refers to the Ezusz Azra alliance and the infamous mage, Ezra Dregor. The Dark Mage specialization fights with a demonic shield and scorching spells, while the Doomlord wields blades filled with demonic claws and damned souls. Learn more about Ezra.
Which class suits you?
When choosing a class, your own playstyle is your best guide. If you love being in the thick of battle and fighting up close, Warrior is for you. If you like fast, surprise attacks and ranged archery, go for Ninja. If you prefer to support your team, heal, and control the fight with spells, Shaman is your class. And if dark magic and superhuman power tempt you, Ezra will be your favorite. There are no bad choices: every class is free to play with all core content.

How are the specializations different?
In NextWorld2, every class has two specializations that take the same character in two different directions. Warrior can be Inquisitor or Protector, Ninja can be Shadowblade or Marksman, Shaman can be Dragonborn or Stormborn, and Ezra can choose between Dark Mage and Doomlord. Each specialization gives unique abilities, so the same class can play very differently. You’ll find detailed ability descriptions and videos on each class’s own page.
