Lineage2M Major Update, High-Quality Graphics Even on Low-Spec Smartphones (Comprehensive)
[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] NCSoft announced that it has completed the development of a service that allows users to enjoy the Lineage 2M game in high definition even on low-spec smartphones.
On the morning of the 9th, NCSoft held a large-scale update briefing for Lineage 2M at the Pangyo R&D Center. Through this update, NCSoft is expected to solidify the revenue foundation by capturing the hearts of Lineage 2M users.
The remote streaming service is a feature that allows users to play Lineage 2M, which is run on PC, on mobile devices via streaming through the platform 'Purple'.
Lee Sung-gu, General Producer of Lineage 2M at NCSoft, said, "The most frequent request since the launch of Lineage 2M has been about the differences between mobile and PC," adding, "We are coordinating the launch schedule for the Lineage 2M remote streaming service that enables PC version gameplay even on low-spec smartphones, so mobile and PC will be perfectly connected in any environment."
With this update, Lineage 2M introduces a new region 'Oren', a new dungeon 'Ivory Tower', and a new boss 'Orfen'. Users can experience not only the famous Ivory Tower from the original but also the hunting grounds in the 'Oren' region, which features various environmental characteristics.
The Oren territory borders the Elmore Kingdom and boasts strong military power. NCSoft explained that factions such as Elves, Dark Elves, and the Ivory Tower gather here, giving the area a unique character.
The 'Ivory Tower' is a massive ivory-colored cylindrical tower that stretches straight upward and is known as the landmark of the Oren territory. It is the third dungeon-type hunting ground to be revealed, following the Cruma Tower and Antharas's Cave. Its overall structure consists of rooms and corridors similar to the Cruma Tower.
The new territory boss 'Orfen' can be found in the Sea of Spores area located north of the Ivory Tower. Based on data collected from previous territory boss content, which featured intense battles between hostile guilds, this new boss offers a more advanced combat experience.
