Kakao Games and XLGAMES have revealed new details about ArcheAge 2, the sequel to the popular MMORPG ArcheAge. After being announced at the G-Star Global Exhibition in South Korea earlier this year, the team has been relatively quiet. Now, however, fans get a first look at the game thanks to a new video featuring the game’s executive producer Jake Song. Scattered throughout the interview are screenshots and brief peeks at some of the environments and gameplay AA2 will feature for both PC and consoles.
Capturing what fans love about the popular MMO, this thrilling first look at its sequel introduces a bold new adventure as players rediscover Auroria. This vast continent has been reimagined for a new generation of ArcheAge players; whether by land, air, or sea, you’ll fight foes – both new and old – as you look to settle within these untamed lands. Giving fans a tantalizing taste of what’s to come, ArcheAge veterans will notice plenty of reminiscent nods to the original game.
“In ArcheAge 2, we intend to enhance the trade system so that the players are able to do trade runs either alone, in teams, or in raids. Another popular feature of ArcheAge 1 was the housing feature. We plan on improving it by adding more customizations, allowing players to live in towns with their friends, and even creating their own towns with their guild members.” Jake said.
Developers are currently targeting a 2024 release date for AA2. The game is being built using Unreal Engine 5, and the team is promising action-packed combat with AAA visuals. Developers intend to improve on the original’s features and provide players with an expansive sandbox system in which to play. Everything will evolve and expand to create a game that will appeal to veterans and new players alike.
