Nexon bringing Mabinogi state-side
Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Culture, Economy, New titles, News items, Free-to-play, Mabinogi
Worlds in Motion is carrying the news that Mabinogi is coming to the US. The games features a whacked-out version of Celtic/Welsh mythology, cel-shaded graphics and (like most Nexon titles) will be a free-to-play adventure. The post also notes Mabinogi's numerous departures from both the MMO- and Nexon-norms. The game's 3D graphics and fairly standard style of combat set it apart from most of Nexon's other games. Likewise, Mabinogi's unique 'growing up' mechanic sets it apart from the usually static reality of MMO avatars.
In-game characters age over the course of weeks, and can engage in numerous activities besides the hack and slash of gameplay. Alternate games include actual music composition, cooking, farming, and working with a spouse to maintain a household.
Beta service for the game will begin at the end of the month.
