For those who grew up in the 80s or 90s, the continent of Aden is certainly a nostalgic battleground, and fans can revisit it in the official sequel to fantasy role-playing game (RPG) game Lineage , as Lineage2M is set to launch its open beta in Singapore and Malaysia on 20 May!
Hailed as the pinnacle of the MMORPG genre, this legendary title carries the collective memories of millions of players worldwide. Developed by the veteran mobile game powerhouse NCSOFT and co-published with NCV Games, Lineage2M reignites the passion for this epic saga that spans 28 years!
Since the PC title's release in 1998, Lineage has become the most influential IP in the MMO genre, leaving countless unforgettable memories for players across three decades. The phenomenon sparked by Lineage has not only solidified its unmatched status, but also set a benchmark for RPGs that players cherish today!
As NCSOFT's flagship AAA title, the team has promised top-tier production quality and unique content tailored specifically for Southeast Asia, showcasing their exclusiveness to local gamers! On top of that, NCSOFT also promised to enhance item acquisition through gameplay while maintaining a balanced and fair experience, making in-game transactions feel more natural and rewarding.
In Singapore, Geek Culture was privileged to be among the first to receive the official, specially curated 'air-drop invitation boxes' delivered by drones—marking a first-of-its-kind creative launch in the country and sparking a wave of excitement across fans and the gaming community.
In addition, fans in Singapore are invited to check in at People's Park Centre in Chinatown, where the nostalgic world of Aden has been brought to life through a striking four-stripe billboard installation, available from 20 May onwards. Keep an eye out for a delightful surprise on the billboard—highlighting the game studio's creative attempt to incorporate 'Singlish' into the globally acclaimed game title.
The Southeast Asia version of Lineage2M preserves the classic experience of real-time battles with thousands of players on-screen. With optimized Southeast Asia servers and 128Hz ultra-frame synchronization technology, players can enjoy smooth castle sieges with latency under 8ms, saying goodbye to the frustration of 'skill casting failures'!
Lineage2M is developed using the UE engine, featuring stunning 4K cinematic graphics that faithfully recreate the fiery battlefields of Aden. Every brick and tile in the main scenes is modelled after the original 1998 game! This version also utilizes cross-platform HDR rendering technology, ensuring that both mobile and PC players experience ultra-high-definition skill animations!
To demonstrate their commitment to the Southeast Asian market, NCSOFT is launching new content fully optimized for this version, ensuring exclusive features for players here to look forward to! Whether through in-game events or ongoing updates, players from Singapore and Malaysia, especially those familiar with the Taiwan and Korea servers, will experience the unique thrill of combat with a less pay-to-win approach!
