After a title-change, rebrand, and business model switch, Krafton’s steampunk-turned-fantasy MMORPG Elyon has officially launched in the west.

“Elyon is available for download - play for free now! Today marks the beginning of a new adventure for Kakao Games. It is with excitement that we take this journey with you, and it is our top priority to offer those enjoying Elyon the highest quality of service.”

The highly-awaited MMORPG was first announced in 2017 and was initially titled Ascent: Infinite Realm before the devs decided to do away with the steampunk and airship elements of the game and focus on the time-tested fantasy formula instead. One of the biggest changes to the game was the recent change from a buy-to-play to a free-to-play business model which also pushed back launch day by a month as the team worked on the required changes.

Elyon is now live and available for download on Steam and on the official site with a day-one patch that fixes several known bugs and adds new attendance rewards. Stay tuned for more Elyon launch news coming in the next few days.

A die-hard RPG fan as far back as Final Fantasy IV on the SNES and even had a brief stint with MUDs. Ragnarok Online was the first game that got me hooked on MMOs. I'm also a big fan of FPS games and have crossbowed, crowbared, and blown away countless players back when Half-Life was king. Currently looking for a game that can hold my attention aside from CS: GO.
