Which games does Kakao Games have the highest hopes for? Three titles are particularly highlighted in the current financial report from Kakao Games. Chrono Odyssey focuses on an action-packed combat system with unique classes, varied PvE challenges, and an exciting mechanic that allows you to manipulate time and space in the fantasy world.
Combat in ArcheAge 2 is also expected to be action-packed. Unlike its predecessor, the developers want to place a greater emphasis on the single-player experience and story content this time. An open world full of freedom and possibilities will also be available.
The Swordmaster’s Youngest Son is based on a manga and will, therefore, draw on the original for its art design and storyline. Here too, the focus is on fast-paced, stylishly staged action battles that you can tackle alone or with a group of players.
What does the release info mean for Path of Exile 2? Although Kakao Games is only handling the launch of PoE 2 in Korea, it is likely that the responsible parties at Grinding Gear Games will release their action RPG in Europe and North America at the same time or even earlier.
Since the beta, which was supposed to start on June 7, 2024, had to be postponed in March, there has recently been a question mark over the release of Path of Exile 2. However, according to the financial report of Kakao Games, a release in the current gaming year still seems to be on the agenda. Path of Exile 2 postpones the beta, but is in “release quality,” promises the CEO
