Mabinogi is getting Unreal Engine!
Comments
This is currently being planned as a update to the game and not a new game. So yes, everyone will still have all their stuff and be at the same level they were before. There are likely to be some small problems like a item or two missing but hopefully these accidents will be minimal.
You're not gonna need to, so don't give Nexon any ideas.
But that has me wondering how the update might affect the release schedule of new content in the interim. Developers will essentially have to work on each object twice until Unreal is released. Once for the current engine, and once for the new one. I wouldn't be surprised if they slow things down in the future to focus more on Unreal, especially as we get close to the release of the update.
As that time draws near, they might choose to re-release limited items that have already been finalized for Unreal instead of selling new gachas. Of course, it's ultimately up to them. If they are willing to create new in-game items for each engine, they most certainly can.
Oh, I'm not worried. Just curious.
Well, I am worried about the required specs to run the game after the update, but even if I have to set the game aside for a while, I expect my stuff to be fine when I return.
That is a semi-reasonable concern, but like now, they'll have game settings to tone down the experience to something that more legacy systems can handle; the PvPers will love that. On the other hand they just might update the system requirements. The point is if you have a reasonably modern system you'll be fine. But, if one is somehow managing Mabinogi on a 286, running Windows 3.1, well first, um, WOW, and second maybe they should be spending their day doing something else.
