Lineage: Red Knights Stress Test Begins In South Korea

Lineage: Red Knights' 3-day stress test has begun in South Korea, bringing with it our first real look at the game. We've known for a while that the game would feature chibi characters, fortress sieges, guild battles, pets, territorial warfare, and more, but we had no idea how the game itself would play. Thanks to a video captured by Inven, which you can find embedded below, we know that it plays in a similar manner to many auto-battling, hero-collecting games. It's not quite what I expected after reading the feature list.

The stress test began today and will run until November 2nd. If you would like to take part, you can download the game from Qoo App, but I'm unsure that you will be able to play it without having pre-registered, which required a Korean phone number that you could receive texts at. The official website mentions that those who can play would be chosen randomly from those that pre-registered and that the amount of stress test users that are allowed to play would be limited. That being said, that may not apply to you if you can get a hold of the download through a third-party, as the download link was intended to be texted to those who got in. I attempted to confirm whether or not you could play without having pre-registered, but the game servers were down for maintenance at the time of this writing.

For those of you that miss this test or simply would rather wait until an English version of the game launches in SEA, it will be launching in at least twelve countries on December 8th. According to Qoo App, those twelve countries include Korea, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and "other places." A Western release has yet to be announced.
