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. They noted that considering over half the total sales for ArcheAge came from North America and Europe, and as such, they’ll likely design ArcheAge 2 for the Western market.ĪrcheAge 2 will take place in an entirely different time period, and be set in a parallel dimension.ĪrcheAge 2 will feature brand new classes that were seen in the original artwork for ArcheAge but never implemented.Developer XLGames and publisher Kakao Games released the first trailer for ArcheAge 2.

They know they messed up in ArcheAge by being “greedy.” Heck, players were complaining about that years ago. For reference, Genshin Impact had 100+ and over $100,000,000 dollars – and it still took them years to get through the development process.ĪrcheAge will be based around “freedom.” Which is essentially what ArcheAge focused on, but to an even greater degree. There are a total of 40-50 staff members working on ArcheAge 2 right now. Maybe action combat? Maybe other times of progression? They’re currently in the process of testing other types of gameplay.
