Smilegate unveils teaser page for upcoming simultaneous Asia release of MMORPG, ‘LORDNINE’
Smilegate has officially launched the global teaser page for its highly anticipated MMORPG, LORDNINE, developed by NX3GAMES, with a simultaneous release across key Asian markets—including the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Japan—set for summer 2025.
Dynamic combat, deep customization in LORDNINE
Following its hit debut in Korea and Taiwan in 2024, LORDNINE continues its expansion with a powerful combination of dynamic gameplay and in-depth class customization. The game enables players to switch weapons and skills mid-battle, adapting to ever-changing combat scenarios. With over 60 ability tags and more than 65 class combinations, players can tailor their characters to suit unique playstyles.
In addition, LORDNINE offers flexible progression systems and immersive storytelling, distinguishing itself from traditional MMORPGs on both PC and mobile platforms.
Awards, success, and regional expansion
LORDNINE quickly rose to the top of Google Play and other app stores in Korea, just six days post-launch, and was met with overwhelming support from the MMORPG community. The game’s quality and popularity were solidified with major industry accolades, including Best Game at the 2024 Korea Game Awards and Best Immersive MMORPG at Sensor Tower’s APAC Awards 2024.
Smilegate has confirmed that LORDNINE’s upcoming Asia rollout will feature localized content and support tailored to each region’s preferences. A dedicated external platform will also allow players to trade in-game items like mounts and costumes, expanding the game’s economic ecosystem.
New details coming via teaser page and social media
The newly launched teaser page features a cinematic trailer showcasing LORDNINE’s vivid fantasy world. Fans can expect regular updates leading up to launch across the official LORDNINE website, YouTube channel, and Facebook page.
