Or we’ll have a game that looks and plays as sloppily, as clunkily as Astellia did. So on the one hand, we might have a game that ends up looking something like Crimson Desert – incredibly fluid in terms of combat and animations, with crisp, gorgeous scenery. ![]() I don’t think, with a game that is going to look as good as this will perhaps look should be as limited as the original incarnation of the game was, right?Īnd then if they overhaul the character models and the environments, that means they’re going to have to alter the combat, the combat animations, skill effects, everything. if the graphics – especially pertaining to character models – is going to alter us to such a degree, then are they going to add in additional customization options? With this large change comes the question. Your character model – the characters we created when we began this game are going to change drastically as well. Meaning your favorite characters are likely going to be entirely unrecognizable. What has been confirmed is that since they’re upgrading the graphical engine to Unreal Engine 4, they’re going to be completely altering the textures for NPCs, characters and the environments. They haven’t made any mention of whether this overhaul will add anything additional into the game or alter any of the core mechanics that players grew to love about the game. Heck, they didn’t even make it to G-Star 2019 at the time to promote it. What we currently know about this project is that NCSoft are attempting an overhaul that no MMO developer has ever attempted before – a task that is so daunting, that since beginning the overhaul, NCSoft have chosen to avoid discussing the game in any capacity. ![]() The good news is – it isn’t being built on Unreal Engine 5, which means that the game doesn’t have an expected release date of 2024 or 2025! So we’re skipping Unreal Engine 3 and moving directly on to Unreal Engine 4. Lineage 2 was released 17 years ago, roughly, and was developed on Unreal Engine 2.5 – yup, it has really been that long. I’m glad you asked.Īt the end of 2019, NCSoft had opened a job posting where they were searching for a Technical Artist that had expertise in Unreal Engine 4. So let’s get the most important question out of the way first: What is Lineage 2: Remastered? Is it an overhaul, is it a remake? Good question. Fast forward to the end of the year 2020 – what do we know about the game, its release date, what the overhaul is actually going to include? I’ve been asked repeatedly – pretty much every week for the last several months if I had any updates.
