In 2012, an XL Games studio representative said he expected ArcheAge to be released in North America towards the end of 2013, or the beginning of 2014. Before finally being released in Korea on January 15, 2013, the game went through five closed beta tests and one open beta test. Initial development of ArcheAge began in 2006, and closed testing of the game took place over two years. A sequel, ArcheAge 2, was announced on November 17, 2022. ArcheAge is described as a 'sandpark' MMORPG, which the developers say is a hybrid of the open content style of a ' sandbox' game and the more structured play experience of a 'themepark' game. The game was released in Korea on January 15, 2013, Europe and North America on September 16, 2014. Its exact release date remains a mystery, so chances are ArcheAge 2 won’t release before 2024.ArcheAge is an MMORPG developed by Korean developer Jake Song (former developer of Lineage) and his development company, XL Games. These features were improved since their original version, allowing players to complete more activities as groups or raids, as well as building a town with their friends or guild members.ĪrcheAge 2 will release on console and PC. The sequel will bring back popular features from ArcheAge, such as housing and trade runs. The game is developed using Unreal Engine 5 to guarantee high-quality visuals and a better immersion. On top of this storyline, ArcheAge 2 will feature action-packed combat in an open-world setting. Not all of Auroria was available in the original game, so players will be able to learn more about this region in ArcheAge 2. Players will have to discover the story of this territory by solving mysteries of ancient civilizations. The timeline is similar to the original game, showing settlers discovering the lands of Auroria. Unlike its predecessor, ArcheAge 2 will focus on personal adventures and stories instead of following a narrative storyline. At the end of the video, executive producer Jake Song shares more information about what to expect from ArcheAge 2 and how it differs from the original game. The creatures often use magic, wielding powers of thunder or throwing fire bolts upon the players. ArcheAge 2 seems packed with action, with the player characters using swords and axes to defeat their foes. The action then shifts to battles between players and magical creatures such as undead, dragons, and giants. The video opens with a boat sailing on the sea, before showing the updated graphics of Auroria, the land of the original game. Developer XLGames and publisher Kakao Games released the first trailer for ArcheAge 2.
