Lineage 2: Revolution South Korean Beta This September, Global Release To Follow

The Unreal Engine 4 mobile game Lineage 2: Revolution is scheduled to enter beta testing this September, in South Korea, followed by release in October, also South Korea, according to Steparu. The game should become available globally in 2017.

Revolution will have four races to choose between: Dwarf, Dark Elf, Elf, and Human; and three starting characters: Warrior, Rogue, and Mage. If you're in South Korea you can register now. The rest of us will have to wait. Though I wish I could. The game is touted to featured 1600 players battling it out at once.

It's not clear if Revolution is the same as Project S, announced back in July 2015 as a port of Lineage 2 to mobile.

Lineage is making a strong push into mobile; Revolution joins Lineage 2: Blood Oath and Lineage 2: Dawn of Aden. The entire Eastern MMORPG market seems to be placing all their bets on mobile with the announcements of both Blade and Soul and Vindictus making their own pushes into mobile.
