Known Info - Investor Meetings - Dev Notes

[EmperorVolo]

I noticed that no one knows anything either here, Reddit, social media, or Discord. Which is super weird cause this information is not hidden it's from various investor meetings and dev notes that the devs themselves release for the Korean audience. Maybe just due to the fact this information is mostly in Korean.

So I figured I would write up what I know for everyone.

NOTHING HERE IS WRITTEN IN STONE, all this information comes entirely from Korean dev notes, interviews, and articles.

CBT RELEASE: May - June 2025
RELEASE: Q4 2025

FAQ

    
• Is it going to be P2W? No, they are avoiding P2W due to the western market being against such things. It is Buy-to-play. No subscription. Has a cash shop. The shop has Cosmetics; dyes, costumes, additional storage like tab space. The developers refuse and reject the idea of gacha/power items. They have not ruled out progress or convenience boosts such as faster gathering. They will also use a GW2/WoW type release of content where new expansions will be purchased. There's supposed to be a Battle Pass as well for cosmetics but it sounds like it's related to housing content not sure if its limited to just that says they are still thinking about it.
      
• What about PVP? Battlegrounds, open-world Realm vs Realm fights or sieges for nodes. NO P2W, it also sounds like gear and level is balanced, "removed competitive dominance mechanics". These are "Large scale" (not sure what means in numbers won't be confirmed till CBT) fights over fortress nodes. Also called "Realm vs Realm" sieges.
      
• Core content: Right now known is there are daily/weely contracts which consist of bounty hunts, crafting orders kind of like the billboards in some various MMOs such as New World.
  
• What is combat? Tab target? Action? Combat is Dark Soulish and is intentionally supposed to be more like a souls-like with i-frames, posture breaks, and major attacks that need to be dodge/parried.

So thanks to April 2025 we know more information about it due to dev notes (mostly Korean) and Investor Meetings (May).

BETA

CBT is supposed to be Late Spring (May/June) and will contain early content so might not feature all the current content of the game. You get to explore Setera where there is free-form exploration and get some character progression. High End content will NOT be unlocked.

Content

Types of content or gameplay loop:

    
• High tier raids - 8 and 12 player multi-phase fights, weekly raids.
      
• Mythic Labyrinth - Endless-floor mode with escalating modifiers and a global leader board.
      
• World Boss - Giant bosses set on a timer. Sounds open world as the top damaging groups earn titles and transmog skins so apparently they drop cosmetics?
  
• PvP - as already discussed above.

Classes and known weapons

    
• Swordsman - Sword + Shield / Greatsword
      
• Paladin - Mace + Tower Shield /  Spear
      
• Sorcerer - Staff / Spellbook
  
• Berserker - Dual Axes / Great Axe
      
• Assassin - Dual Daggers / Rifle
      
• Ranger - Bow / Rapier

Gear Score needed for Mythic, Raid is 500-580, Higher end content 580+

End Game content:

• Weekly raid clears.
  
• Seasonal siege wars
  
• Time portal anomalies
  
• Cosmetic hunting
  
• Seasonal content updates which add new gear cap and new raid "wing" (I'm not sure what they mean by wing) every 4 months.

Kakao has not shown off the siege war map or have landed on any confirmed PVP rewards. Price point is not confirmed per reigion. "Convenience" items have not been determined aka, XP boosters, gathering speed, ect,.

There is of course "life skills" but it's not clear what that all is. We do see fishing and log cutting in some videos/screenshots.

[President of his Fan Club]

So basically the usual generic KMMO

[Pythius]

huge wins all around to me. Of course cosmetics are the real endgame so its still pay 2 win

Ahaha I always love when devs do this.

They plant this one line in their QnA.

Always repeating the same trite, something along the lines of: No, our game is not P2W, don't worry.

And then when it releases, it's P2W.

Just like every other Korean Grinder.

The ol' bait and switch.

[thanoskulo]

Thats because they think that if you can get the same item for free even if it takes 1000 hours its not p2w

EmperorVolo, if what you described in detail is true, it will definitely be a great title to play, hoping they stick to what you’ve written. However, I find it strange that you didn’t mention any reliable sources and kept it vague... For example, if I wanted to ask you, since you specified the requirements for raids:" Gear Score needed for Mythic, Raid is 500-580, Higher end content 580+ " - where did you get that information from?

honestly dont think its true. when you think mythic content in any game that's end of the line "better be geared an ready" content. hard to believe there is content past that right?

Mythic Labyrinth not "Mythic Content", mythic content is something you made up. Mythic Labyrinth is a leaderboard dungeon where you try to get as far as you can. I'm not sure why you think the word "mythic" would be universal in any game but that's an assumption you made rather than realizing the word Mythic is short for Mythic Labyrinth.
