The new MMORPG is working under the title “The Lord” and is being developed by the Korean company NX3. Smilegate, the company behind Lost Ark, has secured the worldwide publishing rights (except for China).
What kind of game is this? The Lord (previously known as Project L) is intended to be an MMORPG that offers you as much freedom as possible. Classes are omitted. Instead, you can choose from 8 different weapon types and a total of 200 skills. Players are expected to be able to “constantly change” their playstyle.
To ensure particularly beautiful maps and environments in the game, a special 3D scanning technique is used.
For the endgame, only large Realm-vs-Realm battles have been presented so far. In these, up to 600 players can fight simultaneously and in real-time to gain advantages in the world. However, what these advantages specifically are is not known.
When will the game be released? So far, there has been no statement on this. Generally, many details are still missing and gameplay has not yet been shown. It is only known that the MMORPG is to be released for both PC and mobile devices.
NX3 is known for mobile, but now wants to conquer PC and consoles
What do we know about the developer? NX3 is primarily known for the MMORPG Rohan M. This is a mobile version of Rohan Online, which was released for PC in 2008 and discontinued in 2020.
In June 2022, the studio announced a whole series of new games, including
- Project Z, an AAA MMORPG for PC and console. They plan to release it worldwide and have brought in developer veterans from EA and Disney.
- Project T, an MMORPG with Nordic mythology, aimed more at “casual players”, which is only intended for PC.
However, with Project M5, there is also a new mobile MMORPG with side-scrolling gameplay and with Project Avatar a “blockchain hardcore MMORPG” in which NFTs are expected to play a major role.
Smilegate itself has announced that “soon” further details about The Lord will be shared. There may be information about a worldwide release, along with initial gameplay.
What do you think about The Lord? Are you also waiting for a game with a lot of freedom and large RvR battles? Or are you not interested in the concept at all?
With Wonderers: Eternal World, Smilegate is also working on another MMORPG that is to be released worldwide:
