Nexon's 'Mabinogi Mobile' revealed the game's release schedule and detailed information through an online showcase on the 6th. This showcase was broadcast on YouTube, and 'Nark' Kim Dong-geon, CEO of DevCat, appeared in the video to announce all the content and introduce the details.

CEO Kim Dong-geon said, "I believe that Mabinogi's unique sensibility and the romance of that world are precious core values that must be continued." He added, "I wanted to give new enjoyment by reconstructing the romance of people meeting people and the life in the fantasy world that Mabinogi pursued, tailored to the mobile environment."

He added that he hopes Mabinogi Mobile will be a game that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can play, even those who have never played an online game before.

What If of Mabinogi and Mabinogi Heroes
The Worldview and Content of Mabinogi Mobile

Mabinogi Mobile starts similarly to the existing Mabinogi, but differently. After passing through a space with a red moon, monsters appear instead of Nao. After passing through this space, you meet Nao and move to the familiar Tir Chonaill. Here, users encounter unexpected events and unravel the secrets of the world.

Mabinogi Mobile can be seen as a What If, a parallel world of Mabinogi and Mabinogi Heroes. It is based on the Goddess Descent arc from G1 to G3, and you can also meet regions and characters from Mabinogi Heroes such as Colhen Village, Tii, and Kadan.

Users will meet many people while adventuring in Erinn. In Mabinogi Mobile, they appear not as ordinary NPCs, but as friends who travel with the player to regain their memories. In addition to Nao, you can meet Tarlach, Ruairi, Mari, and various existing characters, as well as new characters unique to Mabinogi Mobile.

The Mabinogi series, including Mabinogi, Mabinogi Heroes, and Mabinogi Mobile, shares important events but presents slightly different stories. The music and screen descriptions also retain the original feel but have been newly arranged and adjusted for the mobile feel.

Various contents with leisure and romance are also provided. In addition to the huge story called Generation, you can also find stories that allow you to meet the stories of various characters, and various life, dungeons, and parties that cannot be left out in Mabinogi are all prepared.

In Mabinogi Mobile, users are immortal beings and can be reborn through reincarnation. Character customization, fashion, and dyeing systems, which are the core of the series, are of course present, and you can also check the Stellagram system, which allows you to express your character's tastes and personality by specifying keywords.

15 Classes, Dungeons, and Hunting Grounds
Classes change just by changing weapons, highest difficulty dungeons will be added later

Users can start the game by choosing one of the apprentice classes: Warrior, Archer, Mage, Healer, or Bard. You can freely change classes later by changing weapons, but you must first choose one of the five apprentice classes. Afterwards, the apprentice classes evolve into three advanced job classes each.

There are a total of 15 job classes, and combat classes such as Warrior, Archer, and Mage can experience special combat methods for each job class. ▲Warriors can job change to Swordsman, Greatsword Warrior, Swordsmaster ▲Archers can job change to Archer, Longbowman, Crossbowman ▲Mages can job change to Mage, Ice Mage, Fire Mage.

In the case of Healers, they can also play the role of Tank through Monk, following Healer and Priest. Bards and Musicians are combat support classes, but if they job change to Dancer, they can also play as melee dealers. As it is a representative class of Mabinogi, the Bard is designed to make combat feel like a performance.

When creating a character for the first time, you can choose one of the five apprentice classes to start, and then freely choose one of the 15 classes in the job change. Even if you have already job changed, you can freely move classes by changing weapons during play. In addition, it is also possible to transform specific skill effects or visuals through runes.

The combat content of Mabinogi Mobile is largely divided into two types: dungeons and hunting grounds. Dungeons allow you to capture bosses by breaking through each stage, and hunting grounds allow you to freely hunt, collect materials, and explore treasures in the field.

Dungeons are created with individual concepts, and you can play not only Mabinogi's Alby and Ciar Dungeons, but also Mabinogi Heroes' Ruins Dungeon. The biggest feature of the dungeon is accidental encounters. Users can meet users playing the same dungeon at the same time through accidental encounters and capture the dungeon together. In addition, various events such as the Golden Pig Room, Treasure Imp, and Cat Merchant are prepared.

Various events are also held in hunting grounds. These include the Black Hole, a random instance dungeon, and the Ominous Summoning Barrier, where powerful boss monsters are defeated in cooperation. Through this, you can gain special combat experiences and rewards.

High-difficulty content such as field bosses and deep dungeons are also prepared. In the case of field bosses, great rewards are provided if successful, with subjugation rewards provided once a week and basic rewards provided every time. Deep dungeons are dungeons with greatly increased difficulty from Alby, Ciar, and Rabbie Dungeons, where you can meet boss monsters with new gimmicks and combat patterns. In addition, the highest difficulty dungeon Abyss, which must be challenged with a party, and various individual dungeons will be updated later.

Programs are prepared to help anyone play the game and easily adapt to the game. Guides and convenience-related content such as beginner support programs, a compass that allows you to play the game with just one button, and growth guides are provided.

A future roadmap was also revealed at this event. In April, Abyss, Raids, and new classes will be updated. Abyss is the highest difficulty dungeon content that can only be challenged with a party, and Raids are 8-player cooperative content.

In June, Goddess Descent Chapter 2, The Witch of the Wasteland, will be released. This is a story between G1 and G2 that has not been seen in Mabinogi. The mining town of Bangor and the Gaillimh Plateau will be the main stages. A new hunting ground, Cloud Wasteland, a new dungeon, and a new class will be released together.

In September, Goddess Descent Chapter 3, Paladin, will be updated. Similarly, new classes, new hunting grounds, and dungeons will be added, and users will also be able to transform into Paladins. Major character quests and various events will also be held periodically.

Finally, CEO Kim Dong-geon promised to do his best for transparent communication. CEO Kim said, "We will share the development direction along with continuous updates, and listen more carefully and meticulously as much as users have waited for a long time." He added, "I hope that Mabinogi Mobile can become a new entrance that leads many people to the world of Mabinogi."
