Get ready for LORDNINE, a massive fantasy MMORPG. It’s from Smilegate, the folks behind Crossfire, Lost Ark, and Epic Seven. This game took Korea and Taiwan by storm, hitting the top spot on Google Play and App Store in just six days. It even won “Game of the Year” at the 2024 Korea Game Awards and “Best Immersive MMORPG” at the Sensor Tower’s APAC Awards 2024.
This year, Smilegate is expanding to Asia, promising content tailored to each region’s players. They’re introducing a new feature that lets players buy and sell rare items, vehicles, costumes, and more on a custom platform. This should create a more open economy within and outside the game. A Smilegate rep says, “We’re excited to bring LORDNINE to Asia. We hope to deliver new experiences and fun through content that fits each area, with top-notch service.”
LORDNINE is set to launch in Q3, playable on both PC and mobile. The game features a dynamic combat system, where players can switch weapons and skills on the fly to adapt to situations. There’s a vast character development system, with over 60 professions and 65 unique classes. Players can customize their skills and growth paths. The game also includes an Ability Tags system, letting players fine-tune their playstyle by combining tags with skills for better combat and questing.
