This Steam launch represents a pivotal moment in the game's global expansion strategy. By leveraging Steam's extensive global infrastructure, WEMADE aims to secure a long-term user base and improve accessibility for players around the world. This is not simply an addition of a new platform—it is part of a mid-to-long-term strategy to establish the title as a globally recognized premium PC franchise.
New Class "Rune Fighter" Arrives with the Steam Launch
The new class "Rune Fighter," launching alongside the Steam release, is a powerful hero who wields the power of ancient runes. Featuring close-range combat through punches and kicks enhanced by exceptional mobility, the Rune Fighter also deploys a unique battle style that applies buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies through a "barrier" ability. This addition is designed to deepen the game's tactical complexity, attracting both new players and returning users with fresh content. Pre-registration for the Rune Fighter is currently available on the official website.
WEMADE's head of game business Michael Kim commented: "Our goal is to deliver a premium PC gaming experience that meets the expectations of the Steam community. This Steam launch, paired with the implementation of the Rune Fighter, will mark the dawn of a new era for players."
"Partners Day" Held in the Philippines to Strengthen Community
WEMADE is also accelerating community-building efforts in the Philippines, a key market where user engagement and guild activity are particularly active. The "Partners Day" user invitation event held in Manila on March 22 attracted approximately 100 attendees, including players, streamers, and partner server administrators.
The event featured a variety of programs, including a playable demo of the Rune Fighter, a preview of new Decil Buddies inspired by Philippine symbols, an upcoming update roadmap reveal, a boss raid time attack challenge, and a PvP battle against the development team. WEMADE has stated its intention to actively incorporate feedback from local users gathered at this event, continuing to refine and elevate the overall service through stable operations.
New Summon "Bakunawa" and Buddy "Solis" Inspired by Philippine Mythology
New Decil "Bakunawa" and Buddy "Solis," inspired by Philippine mythology, are being added to the game's lineup as special summons. By gradually introducing content tailored to specific regions, players around the world can experience their own cultural heritage within the game.
