Update: The game changed its title to Ragnarok Begins.
The Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles MMORPG is just one of several games that Gravity is revealing at G-Star 2019. We've learned the first tidbits about this new game based on the Ragnarok Online franchise, and now one additional and substantial detail was disclosed.
Ragnarok Crusade Midgard Chronicles is a PC exclusive, unlike other games such as Ragnarok Origin or The Lost Memories: Song of Valkyrie, two games designed for mobile devices.
Don't Miss: Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles is the new Ragnarok PC MMORPG
The noteworthy detail from the Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles demonstration is that this is a side-scrolling 3D action RPG, unlike other Ragnarok games. Knowing the legacy of the series, it certainly wasn't expected, taking the game closer to the likes of Dragon Saga (or Dragonica).
In Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles, you have several skills to attack the enemy creatures, with the usual cooldown times preventing you from spamming them. You can create interesting combos in a stylish and action-packed way. Bosses will get in your way, testing your skills, and you'll surely meet some fierce monsters later in the game.
However, Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles has a focus on PvP, so this is what you should have in mind if you want to play the game. This isn't the new Ragnarok Online 2 that many players are expecting (or at least another attempt at a sequel), but more of a spin-off that is nonetheless aimed at fans of the series.
There is no word on a global release yet, but if the Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles MMORPG gets a warm reception in Korea and other Asian regions, it's highly likely that Gravity takes it to other regions.
You can watch the announcement trailer below, but there is no gameplay available to the public as of yet. It shouldn't take long though; the first Ragnarok Crusade: Midgard Chronicles footage will probably be released soon after G-Star 2019 reaches its conclusion.
