◇Com2uS "Zeus: God of Arrogance" Pre-Registration July 1=Com2uS confirmed the 1st of next month as the pre-registration start date for "Zeus: God of Arrogance," a blockbuster-class new MMORPG developed by Abyss and published by the company.
Pre-registration will run from 10 a.m. on July 1 through the official website as well as the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Starting with the pre-registration, Com2uS plans to sequentially release information on major content and services, expanding contact with users ahead of the launch.
The company also released a "Director's Insight" video teaser on its official website. "Director's Insight" is content that introduces the development direction and major content of "Zeus: God of Arrogance" from the developers' perspective. This teaser empathizes with the voices of MMORPG users who feel fatigue from endless competition, and conveys the main direction of the game to break away from a vertical competitive structure and offer cooperation and diverse enjoyment.
The video also conveyed a commitment to implementing high-end visuals, raising expectations for the main content to be revealed later. Com2uS will release the full "Director's Insight" video on July 1, when pre-registration begins, to convey the game's core enjoyment and service direction in greater detail.
"Zeus: God of Arrogance" is a blockbuster-class MMORPG set against a world fractured by the arrogance created by the absolute power of "Zeus," the supreme god of Greek mythology. Based on high-quality graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game plans to present the core enjoyment of the MMORPG genre through cooperation and conflict between factions, diverse growth structures, and a high level of convenience.
◇Nexon Rolls Out "Mabinogi Mobile" Season 2 "Light and Darkness" Update=Nexon has carried out the second season "Light and Darkness" update for "Mabinogi Mobile," an MMORPG developed by its subsidiary devCAT.
The main story "Goddess Descent Chapter 5: Light and Darkness," the core of Season 2, begins with a story in which it is revealed that the Dragonhood was plotting a secret ritual while investigating anomalies across Erinn, leading players to track the Dragonhood and confront a new threat looming over Erinn. With this update, the level cap was expanded to a maximum of 100, broadening the scope of growth.
New hunting grounds and dungeons also appear. "Pale Mountain" is a mountain of wraiths that have lost the light of life, and defeating the field boss "Angrboda," gripped by long-held obsession, allows players to obtain rare spoils such as the "Seal of the Red Moon," Mystic Dice key boxes, and enchants. Along with this, the "Lunda Dungeon" set against an ancient waterway and the "Fiodh Dungeon" set against a mysterious forest where a goddess is said to have dwelled long ago are newly added.
On the 2nd of next month, a new abyss "Lunda Abyss" set against the deep sea will be updated. With a composition leading through a ghost ship and undersea caves into the deep, dark sea, players will face a total of three bosses in turn: "Caldred," "Despel" and "Therosa." Battles requiring different strategies unfold, from "Caldred," which utilizes shipwreck mechanics, to "Despel," a giant aquatic fish-folk (Sahagin) in a frenzied state, to "Therosa," which appears alongside a giant kraken.
On the 16th of next month, a new raid "Cabrac" will be unveiled. "Cabrac," a dragon wielding the power of sand and earth, demands cooperation from users with heavy patterns such as a powerful breath that sweeps the entire area and petrification attacks. Characterized by attack patterns that grow fiercer as the battle continues, it delivers tense, strategic combat.
In addition, two new systems will be introduced to add to the fun of character development. First, "Trace of Night," a season-limited skill usable only during this season, was added, consisting of passive skills that strengthen each class's combat abilities. The server-level growth system "Soulstream" consists of three elements: "Fixed Star," "Dwarf Star" and "Soul," with a structure in which the soul production rate varies depending on the combined combat power, life power and charm of all characters on the server. Activating the "Fixed Star" provides various effects such as increased attack power, improved soul production and higher life experience, while the "Dwarf Star" can strengthen basic stats related to combat and life.
