The MMORPG classic Lineage from South Korea is set to be re-released as a Remastered version. The original game has been around for 20 years, and now it is being revamped as “Lineage: Remastered.”
What will be included in the Remastered version? On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Lineage, NCSoft has announced a overhauled version “Lineage: Remastered.”
Lineage is considered one of the most significant games in Korea, still has nearly a million players, and has existed since 1998. The Remastered version aims to make the game more attractive again and modernize nearly every aspect of the game:
- The graphics will be pushed up to full HD resolution. This is four times higher than before. The frame rate will also be doubled.
- The user interface will also be thoroughly revamped and made clearer.
- There will be an autoplay version for automatic grinding.
- Additionally, there will be app support to monitor your character from a mobile device.
- The new class “Swordsman” will be introduced.
- A new PvP mode “World-Siege” will allow sieges among all 8 servers.
Auto-Grind and Mobile Support as the most important new features
According to the Korean news site InvenGlobal, especially the functions for automatic grinding and the mobile app are major highlights of Lineage: Remastered.
How Autoplay works: The auto-grind falls under the new Player Support System (PPS). It has 35 functions, including the ability to set various grind spots and a return function.
This would perfect autoplay, which many Korean gamers greatly appreciate.
How the M-Player App works: With the “M-Player,” the mobile app for the game, you can check your hero’s stats in real-time at any time. Ideal when they are grinding autonomously and unexpectedly get into danger.
What sets the new Swordsman class apart: The new Swordsman is set to wield great swords and is expected to become the best DPS class in the game in terms of damage. Moreover, he will have a skill that neutralizes the defensive abilities of opponents.
When and how can I play Lineage Remastered? The Remastered version of Lineage is scheduled to run on the test server in December 2018. You can register for it starting November 29, but unfortunately, this only applies to Korea, as the western servers for the game were shut down in 2011.
