NEXON (Co-CEOs: Kang Dae-hyun, Kim Jung-wook) announced on the 12th that its dark fantasy MMORPG, Crownless Ashes, will begin global testing on December 4.
Crownless Ashes is an MMORPG that combines dark fantasy storytelling with action-oriented gameplay, currently being optimized for PC. The game delivers exhilarating combat experiences through impactful and vivid isometric action presentations. It also incorporates simulation elements, allowing players to become family lords who manage their own territories, offering a unique sense of progression.
The global test will run on Steam from December 4 to 11 (KST), and any player can join by applying through the Steam store page. Following the demo's success in June, where it ranked among the top ten most-played demos during the Steam Next Fest, this test will showcase diverse combat styles through four classes: Storm Warlock, Executioner, Phantom Swordsman, and Night Stalker. Players can develop their characters while following the main storyline across four major regions, experiencing the rich narrative unique to Crownless Ashes. Furthermore, players can enjoy more strategic action gameplay using the "Companion" system that aids in battle, as well as a progression system where characters grow stronger alongside their expanding family.
Additionally, this test will include two types of raid dungeons where players can challenge powerful bosses, as well as two arena modes for PvP competition. It will also offer diverse combat experiences through large-scale open-world gameplay such as "Legion Invasion" and "Faction War," along with squad-based content like "Shadow Rift."
In the teaser trailer released simultaneously, players can catch a glimpse of the dark and heavy atmosphere permeating a world reduced to ruins by the occupation of "Elves." The trailer also features mysterious characters, hinting at the direction of the upcoming storyline.
