[THE INVESTOR] NCSoft, the nation’s leading online game developer, has received 1 million preorders in just 8 hours for its new mobile game “Lineage M,” according to industry sources on April 14.

The massively multiplayer online role-playing game is based on the firm’s popular online PC game “Lineage” which debuted in 1998.




“Preorders reflect how much the users, particularly those who have already played ‘Lineage,’ want to play it on the mobile platform,” NCSoft spokesperson Kang Ji-eun told The Investor.

This is not the first time that the game developer has launched a mobile version of its popular PC-based game. In 2016, it launched role-playing game “Lineage Red Knights,” which ranked No. 51 on the Android mobile game sales list on April 14.

“‘Lineage M’ is different from ‘Lineage Red Knights’ in that while the latter was more of a reinterpretation of the PC version, with the new mobile version users will have access to the same original systems,” Kang said.

NCSoft will launch “Lineage M” in the first half of this year, but a specific date has yet to be announced.
