NC, Sudden Delay of 'TricksterM' Just Four Days Before Launch
[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] NCSoft has suddenly postponed the release of its upcoming title 'TricksterM,' which was scheduled for the 26th. This is the first time NCSoft has delayed the release schedule of a new game.
On the 22nd, NCSoft stated, "We have concluded that we need a little more time to ensure a quality that satisfies many users."
TricksterM is a mobile massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based on the Trickster intellectual property (IP) released in 2003, characterized by its charming pixel art graphics. Even before its release, it attracted much attention from users as the 'cute Lineage.'
It is uncommon for game companies to delay release schedules. Especially when the release date has already been announced to users, postponing it is a very unusual case. Because of this, there is speculation that NCSoft's decision to postpone just four days before the release date is not unrelated to the recent controversy over 'probability-based items' sweeping the gaming industry.
