GRAVITY and DAEWON MEDIA announced RAGNAROK PROJECT, a new RPG based on the world of the Ragnarok series, on June 1. Developed by WAYCORDER, the game is targeting a release in the first half of 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The Steam store page is now live. The story follows players exploring a crumbling world-including deserts, ruins, research facilities, and dimensional rifts-to uncover the hidden truth behind the collapse. The narrative focuses on choice and responsibility, with a clash of beliefs rather than simple good versus evil. Players will journey with companions of different classes: Knight, Mage, Priest, and Hunter. The Ragnarok series, centered on the MMORPG Ragnarok Online, has been played by a cumulative 100 million users globally. WAYCORDER previously developed Gensei Suikoden+ and Astonishia Story Refine. A teaser shows dot-painted character graphics against 3D backgrounds, with the MVP boss Maya appearing at the end.
WAYCORDER, the studio behind Gensei Suikoden+ and Astonishia Story Refine, is handling development. The game uses a visual style that blends 2D dot-painted character sprites with 3D environments, as seen in the teaser. Skill effects in screenshots resemble those from Ragnarok Online, including one that appears to be Lex Aeterna. The teaser also shows the MVP boss Maya, a familiar figure from the original MMORPG. The Steam store page is already live, though no pricing or pre-order details have been shared. The Ragnarok series, which began with Ragnarok Online in 2002, has accumulated over 100 million players worldwide. The game is set for release in the first half of 2027 across all major platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2, which has not yet launched.
