MMORPG News: Aion 2 | Blue Protocol BETA | Chrono Odyssey | ArcheAge Chronicles DELAYED

[@MMOByte]

What MMO are YOU most excited for in 2025?

[@isidornimages]

Trying to hold on to what little sanity I have left, I'm not allowing myself to get excited for MMOs anymore.

[@Leon-Belmont]

For now im only waiting for chrono odyssey BUT i hope they dont delay it anymore, censure stuff!!! and well the microtransactions it seems as right now they are planing to make it a buy to play game so that can be good if we only have to pay for the game 1 time and not inside the game, then again i dont mind if they put season pass and skins usually those things are only cosmetics and maybe some "pay to fast" but as long as it not exagerated its ok for me 👍 i just dont want another Blue Protocol deception! 🙏

[@rustedhands1379]

T&L's business model is actually pretty solid. idk what bro was saying. They've removed most of the Korean cash-grabs for the West. You can swipe for items, but if no players got those items or selling them, there's no incentive to swipe. Premium currency is generated only from swiping, and trading automatically balances it with a tax. There's useful items in the battlepasses but as a player in the endgame, most of them are useless unless you're leveling other classes and builds. As long as you've got a decent guild, you can pretty easily get to max out (avoiding the pvp if you dont fw it), if the the gods of slot machines are on your side (as most asian games)

Aion 2 ofc, I miss the glory days till aion 2.3.😢

[@therealuwu6103]

I hope aion 2 is good or at least decent. Aion was my first mmo when I was like 7, I'm 19 now and I still have so much passion for it, but it's not what it used to be. I have high hopes (surprisingly for ncsoft) that it will be what aion used to be, maybe better

[@MMOByte]

I genuinely hope so too! It has the potential to be INCREDIBLE!

[@el8901]

me too

[@thwnabishduse4839]

It will be crossplay for MOBILE stop being delusional.

[@therealuwu6103]

@@thwnabishduse4839 genshin Impact and a few other games are also cross play like that, there's no need for you to come across like that. I'm simply stating my hope for something good. I even said I have high hopes just not for ncsoft

[@Gvlant1]

I hope it’s great. If it’s only decent it’s going to get shit on and close down. Aion has such a huge legacy to live up and I get NCSOFT failing when it comes to new IP’s but Aion is their baby so if they fuck it up that would be absolutely horrible.

[@junkdog8974]

Can't believe that Japan is so weak in making anime game now that they have to let China to do it

[@Dregomz02]

They chased woke american money and it killed their industry

[@revanlord05]

Japan aren't exactly big in video gaming as it used to be. Especially now that they are beholden to the Western views in order to make content (And they have to now because of the pay processors wanting censorship). However, Japan isn't exactly concerning in making new games for themselves, since china and other Asian countries can make games that also carter to their view as well, while they make games that "carter" to Westerners. I guess this is why Bandai cancelled the original Blue Protocol: It was a money sinkhole on just development alone, they were too slow with large periods of silences, the hype died because of it. Reception was mixed to negative and there wasn't significant player base in their native home region when it was released, thus not return of the investment. They saw no reason to continue and canned the project and handed everything to Tencent's side of things, they may be just get the money from them using their IP while they handle the heavy lifting.

[@inuyasha.mp3]

here is the thing, all these new big gachas were funded by previous projects revenue: PGR funded wuwa Girls frontline funded GFL2 love nikki funded infinite nikki HI3 funded genshin which funded star rail which funded zzz Japanese gacha devs dont have that kind of budget to compete with chinese titles, a lot of them flop and cant invest into bigger projects

[@haruusami1831]

@inuyasha.mp3 Because JP devs are have backwards thinking,hard headed and won't take a risk to innovate etc that's their main problem adding with monetization worst than CN, like let's give FGO as a example that thing earns alot of money yet they put those money on the Arcade FGO and many questionable decisions, and many laws that's too strict etc when it comes to IP.

[@haruusami1831]

@@revanlord05 Let's not forget BP have to compete with PSO2 NGS with almost same monetization idea but bit worst if im right, adding PSO2 is more established and the base game can still played for nostalgia.

[@NycroLP]

Aion mmo being cross platform is a huge red flag. They have to gimp the gameplay in a way it works for pc AND mobile.

[@One-12937]

Throne and liberty was massive trash

[@Fascism_Is_One_Helluva_Drug]

Mobile means NO PVP and A LOT OF MICROTRANSACTIONS. Which is why T&L is superior - no mobile port ever and full of fully optimized thousand player ZvZ

[@Vraekon]

Yes if it’s both on pc and mobile then will definitely be a no go for me. I haven’t researched it but No way it will be good launching it also on a phone if that’s the case

[@cracmar03]

Didn't they run Aion into the ground ? Then again Blue Protocol somehow is back as well. And ArcheAge is again resurrected. Nvm then, nobody ever learns anything when it comes to MMO's *stares judgingly at ZOS*.

[@MMOByte]

They did, and they'll probably do the same to Aion 2 lmao.

[@poopikins]

ZOS is a dumpster fire. They're driving ESO into the ground. It could be great, but it never will be with them in charge.

[@MrAeriestars]

original aion was too grindy for the western audience - then TERA came out

[@angustheterrible3149]

I hope Aion2 brings back the classic soundtracks from the original Aion. Especially those from the Asmodian side. RIP Asmodians and their original look

[@Tech419z]

Yeeeeeeeesssss!!!

[@cjragasa-d9z]

As per some of contents creator, there's no asmo vs elyos in aion 2

[@JD-gi8rz]

what game is that being played on screen during the video?

[@Lovebirdd]

Well Aion is probably the best MMO (in its prime) that I've played to date, so I hope they can emulate that again. I won't hold my breath of course, especially given it won't be open world PvP. Is it even Aion without open world PvP???

[@WhiteSector]

Hope for the Aion 2 to be normal for playing, not as they ruined with pay 2 win system and cheaters in 1.

[@joshanonline]

The chances of that are...abysmal. I'm gonna play it, literally, to take screen shots. I KNOW it will be a pay to win trash. It will be popular at first, then gradually decay into oblivion, as all korean mmos go. Oh, I've been playing korean mmos for exactly 20 years.

[@WhiteSector]

@@joshanonline same as me. My hope is our hope due many regrets and disappointments in that past 20+ years. im even for pay to play, if that game would be similar to Guild wars 2, or even wow and ff14 with monthly subscription to have guarantee for normal play few months to year if is that posible.

[@CutchuSlow]

What games were being played in the background?

[@DjFrancoj]

If you get read this. I was just wondering did you ever get to try monster hunter online back in 2019? Even though it was a China exclusive before it was shut down.

[@thearchitecthk]

Which is the game from 8:08 till 9:11?

[@krissylopez-i5e]

Tower of Fantasy

[@nemanjafilipovic358]

Loved aion, even played classic for some time recently. If they want Aion 2 to succeed they need to make sure that the mobile doesn't hold back pc in any way, if anything make the mobile be some sort of farming/casual tool. Open world pvp is really fun, hope they have something like current Apheta

[@AlexFalkor]

I really wanna do the Beta for Blue Protocol but honestly the steps to essentially sign-up for it has me unnerved. You gotta sign up specifically through Chinese Apps/Programs and even one of them ask something like providing your card number. Which for me was like "Ermm....no thanks". I'll just have to hope that Tencent actually does bring this over in English.

MMORPG News is still my favorite segment!!

[@Ookami20]

I don’t mind when devs push back releases dates because it means they want to make sure they’re game comes out correctly but I think they should just stop giving release dates period so everyone doesn’t get disappointed all the time

[@rurumo666]

Aion 2 with a PVE focus and mobile cross platform, not expecting much unfortunately.

Not that I mind it as I'm looking forward to Crimson Desert but why are you covering the game here? It's not an MMO.

[@nightforest1693]

Does anyone know if this Aion 2 MMORPG will be coming to Mobile? Any answers will be greatly appreciated!!

[@meowy2k]

no open world PvP in Aion 2? they messing up already, that feature is the meat and potatoes.

[@attakforce93]

I follow you guys since the beginning of time. Menawhile I became a Senior Dev during my journey.... hearing this "news" regarding MMORPG is quite SAD. Even on Reddit except the "big 5" that are 10+y old (imop sssssssssssssuper out-dated no matter what people believe) the genre is gone , bye bye and ferwell . Honestly, the game industry with its flashy flashy gameplay and flashy flashy game retention would need a GOOD MMO . Believe me when I say YOUNGER GENERATIONS DO NOT KNOW WHAT AN MMO IS!.... Drammatically if a new player test any of the big 5 with the criteria of 2024 will hate it soooo much > no new "hits" like GI or similar > no investors > no new MMO.... I really hope the genre will receive a rewamp but I lost the hope to be honest.... Personally speaking both as a Dev who became a Dev because MMO and as a player , MULTIPLAYER ONLINE are MUCH better in term of game retention and expansion/live service than most of the MMORPG out there. Just Look at warframe or Deep Rock galactic or even Wayfinder -.- the population by far more than any average MMO, better service , no p2w and UPDATED COMBAT SYSTEM... What are we still waiting for? Meetin 3? -.- at the moment I am so deluded everytime a new studio say MMORPG. Until the genre will be not updated in it's formula there will be no new home except the usual good ones that are THAT famous mostly because of the lack of competitors on the market not because they are SO GREAT. It is called MONOPOLY btw it is okey until you do not search a competitor or a new product....then you realize there are none. I hope to play a new MMO like Tera-DN-BnS-BDO that are not p2w shit with the depth of Tree of Savior ,but I guess is much more alike my nephew would be able to see that surely not me that I am started this rant 17year ago and nothing is change ...meanwhile we are all turning 30-40 or even 50 yo xD incredible , isn't it? Cheers guys

[@reinhard98]

Crimson desert is going to be at game awards with the release date

[@joshanonline]

Throne and liberty was entertaining but the obstacles feel too restrictive and artificial, only to feed monetization of problems they created.

Wait until they add auto play for Aion 2 and make it access for mobile

[@ArmisHart]

I didnt last long in Throne and Liberty either. Controller just felt weird. Didnt make it past the tutorial lol. Aion being mobile sucks. I loved Aion but I'll still be watching.

[@Tinchisx]

0:26 That was my exact reaction lmao🤣 and tbh I think it'll KILLED my players, etc more because 1° PVE focus, 2° if they mention TL business model, 3° because it'll released in mobile too. I hope it doesn't have anything from TL, because tbh I liked the game but after playing, leveling was too fast and after that you only did farm purple gear so then in the future farm a better gear, got bored too fast. Tbh, from all the games you mentioned I BELIEVE NONE or maybe Chrono Odyssey will hype like Ananta trailer did a few days ago

[@mikemata4244]

Well, i can tell you the theory Aion 2 is "cross platform" is INCORRECT. it was initially HINTED, that the mobile "version" of aion 2 is a "COMPANION" app.

[@VernonAK]

One day I will open one of these News videos and hear about Horizon Skylines or whatever they're calling it. Ooooooone day.

[@zenwilds2911]

For archeage is not really a delay, kakaogames is pretty werid, in the q before the trailer for the game they said that the game will release q4 or q1 2026

[@stefanusunicorn7483]

Holy sh*t, the first aion was released when I was still a high school brat 16 years ago 🤣🤣🤣

[@HitsugayaTv]

so if they do the same buisness model like TL it only means they do f2p but they should crossplay cancel with Mobile like TL too and only bring it single to PC/Consoles AION 2 Mobile is the most garbage for MMORPGS

Hopefully when Archeage Chronicles comes out it will be handled better that OG archeage. Loved the game and story of the game but the way they handled it sucked

[@callac]

These games in more than one media always have disappointing gameplay. Those who like to play on PC don't adapt well to these 4-button games. It's like, "you can't please 2 masters". Champions Online did this shit, DC Universe did this shit... now nobody talks about them anymore.

[@dezusa]

Archeage 2 never, now whats a good AA private server?

[@boneylockz3967]

Never spent a single dime on BDO and I'm better than most players in the game. Also you only spend money on outfit to melt for a CHANCE to succeed, with that chance being as low as 5% to 20% depending on the item. So it would cost legit THOUSANDS of irl money to P2W. Better off grinding high end areas and buying enchantment materials. But whatever floats your boat on your definition of P2W when that's about the only thing you could kind of call P2W but not really.😂
