Previously “Lineage 2M,” an MMORPG mobile game, recorded 7.38 million. This number reportedly broke a record in South Korea with the most number of pre-registrations. In the first 23 days, the reservations were already over four million. To prove that this game is enormously popular, it was mentioned that pre-registrations to the game have reached 7.46 million.
For PC gamers, it can be played through the Purple cross-play service. The Korea Herald reported that NCSoft’s “Blade & Soul 2” online RPG game will be available for players to play on mobile devices and PC.
