Lineage Eternal is considered the most important new title from NCSoft. Now the beta has had to be postponed.
Lineage is the big, but old franchise for NCSoft
When looking at the quarterly revenue reports from NCSoft, it becomes clear that the largest source of income is still “Lineage”, an almost 20-year-old MMORPG for PC. The also successful Lineage 2 has now been around for more than 10 years.
Lineage generates revenues that newer games like Blade and Soul can only dream of.
Lineage Eternal is also set to be released for mobile, closed beta postponed to 2016
Next, the plan is to profit from the “Lineage Eternal” brand. Analysts believe that the future of NCSoft may depend on this title. Lineage Eternal is being developed not only for PC but is also set to be released for Android and iOS. Thanks to cloud technology.
First glimpses and videos suggest that it is an action MMORPG in the style of Lost Ark – similar to a Diablo game with more RPG elements.
While we were able to report in the summer that the first focus tests took place and everything was on schedule, the closed beta phase has now been postponed to the first half of 2016. During that time, they want to respond to the changing market.
