[MOBILE] Netmarble, 'Arthdal Chronicles: The Three Tribes' release confirmed for April 24th.
Netmarble announced through a user-targeted YouTube broadcast that they will be releasing MMORPG "Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions" in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao on April 24.
Today (22nd), Netmarble released a YouTube channel broadcast where Netmarble F&C's Chief Developer for "Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions," Jang Hyun-jin, and Netmarble's Business Division Manager, Jung Seung-hwan, answered user questions.
In this broadcast, Jang Hyun-jin, the Chief Developer at Netmarble F&C, mentioned the differentiation factor for "Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions" by highlighting the "dynamic and fun dynamics created through the competition among the factions," stating that "any faction can experience war content without differentiation between strong and weak, providing the challenge of leading and protecting weaker factions for the strong ones."
In "Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions," everyone must choose a faction, and once chosen, they will gain thousands to tens of thousands of comrades to grow with, while also facing opponents from other factions. Users can contribute to their faction according to their play style, such as combat, war, gathering, cooking, and experience the joy of collaboration together.
Regarding environmental changes and lifestyle content, Jang PD mentioned, "We implemented it to be enjoyed without inconvenience. Asdal's day rapidly changes at the rate of 4 real-time hours, allowing users to easily experience their desired time and weather. Additionally, we minimized user inconvenience by automatically changing clothes according to the weather and providing features like outfit forecasts."
Furthermore, Business Division Manager Jung Seung-hwan mentioned about the business model, stating, "Spirit and mounts will be prepared as probability-based items. We will make it possible to obtain them through reasonable play and effort, besides just charging fees. We plan to provide them steadily and sufficiently even after the launch, and we aim to primarily sell costumes through gameplay, focusing on major seasonal outfits like summer swimsuits at reasonable fixed prices."
Regarding the existence of collection or catalog-form content, Jung, the Business Division Manager, mentioned, "There is a Costume system; items and equipment acquired through gameplay can be completed as rewards. There is no combinatory catalog for spirits/mounts."
In addition, Netmarble introduced a user reward program to share achievements with users. This program will distribute rewards not only to a few individuals but also to users who contribute to the fun and growth of the game, such as the Chief Faction Leader, users participating in key political activities like voting, and alliance leaders and members striving for alliance activation. More details will be announced through the official forum in the future.
Netmarble will release "Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions" simultaneously on Google Play and Apple App Store in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao on April 24, allowing users to access it through mobile and PC platforms.
Netmarble and Studio Dragon's joint project "Asdal Chronicles: Three Factions" is an MMORPG based on the same worldview as the drama "Asdal Chronicles," where Asdal, Ago, and Lawless factions engage in a large-scale power struggle to dominate the As continent. The game incorporates various elements allowing for political, social, and economic cooperation among the three factions, emphasizing class-specific roles in combat to pursue the inherent fun of MMORPGs.
Currently, pre-registration events are ongoing on the official site, Google Play, Apple App Store, and Kakao Games. Participating in pre-registration will grant users the "Asdal Limited Edition," consisting of △mount Rudolph △spirit Moyo △potion x3 △500,000 coins.
