We aim to complete development by the second half of 2024." He added, "ArcheAge 2 is an MMORPG built on Unreal Engine 5, featuring AAA quality and a seamless open world, sharing the existing ArcheAge universe while emphasizing single-player gameplay."

He also mentioned, "We plan to improve the signature trading content of ArcheAge and increase points of contact with multiple users and content even as the game focuses on single-player progression."

He also explained about new titles under development targeting PC and console platforms, like ArcheAge 2.

CEO Jo said, "Ocean Drive Studio is developing an action game based on the web novel IP 'The Youngest Son of a Swordsmanship Family,' targeting the global market." He continued, "Lionheart Studio is also developing a PC-console root shooter genre game, and overseas developers include Frost Giant working on an RTS (real-time strategy) game and Playerable Worlds preparing a new PC title."
