MU Origin 2 has already earned its place amongst the most popular MMORPGs of the year, and now its major 2.0 update is set to give fans of the genre even more reason to play. For those not in the know, this one’s the second spinoff to the classic MU Online – a PC MMO from the early 2000s – which advances the fan-favourite formula in new and exciting ways.

First off, the update adds a feature called ‘Battle Core’. This takes the form of a 4v4 match which you’ll be able to take part in from 12:30-13:30 and 18:30-19:30 during the Abyss Season. Up for grabs are Battle Coins, Seed Jewels, and tons of easy XP. And as a nice bonus, earning the highest killstreak in a match will get you the honour title ‘Core Assassin’.

If you’re into your anime, you’ve probably seen or heard of Saint Seiya. Based on a shonen manga by Masami Kurumada, the series was massively popular in the 1980s – especially in its native Japan. Since then, it’s grown into a franchise of all sorts, from feature-length films to toys to video games, and even a CGI adaptation recently launched on Netflix.

Whether you’re a fan already, or looking for your next anime-inspired RPG, Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac is a solid introduction to the world part-inspired by Greek mythology. It takes the form of an online RPG for the mobile, full of rapid turn-based fights, a story drawing directly from the manga, and hundreds of characters including series favourites.

Imagine a tale of conlict between factions of good and evil, where rogueish heroes summon beasts to aid them in them in warfare and courageously battle dragons over fields of scorched earth and brimstone - that's exactly the essence of epic fantasy adventure that newly released strategy RPG First Summoner aims to deliver into the palm of your hand.

Released today in over 140 countries for iOS and Android, First Summoner comes courtesy of Korean developer SkeinGlobe and publisher LINE Games (of Destiny Child fame). And as you might expect from an RPG that looks as beautiful and well polished as First Summoner appears to be, you'll find plenty of content to enjoy, including an epic campaign mode, a PVP Arena for head-to-head duels, and a roguelike dungeon mode known as Infinite Chaos for endless battles.

After intercepting a myriad of cryptic messages from a mysterious blue planet far off in the galaxy, our curious extra terrestrial protagonist decides to set off on a voyage of discovery, attempting to decipher the beguiling messages and find a path to the planet from whence they came.

Epic turn-based RPG Brown Dust is set to turn 500 days old next week, and to celebrate, Neowiz has just unveiled its biggest and most exciting update yet, offering a host of new rewards, increased gacha rates, and a brand new feature that will change up the battlefield - Companion units.

To kick things off, the most significant change the update brings is the introduction of a new auxiliary unit called Companions. Battles will still be dictated by your use of Mercenaries, however you'll now have the option of pairing them up with their unique Companion counterpart which raises their Skill Level Cap from +10 to +15. What's more, every Companion will come with their own backstory which players can discover once they start to level up and change in appearance.

Neowiz is set to celebrate the summer by launching a 2-month long festival in its smash-hit RPG Brown Dust. The event kicks off today, and it’s divided into 4 parts, each of which will last two weeks.

Brown Dust is all about collecting, upgrading, and doing battle with an ever-expanding band of Mercenaries. Its fantasy-themed world is distinctive, its strategic combat system is surprisingly deep, and it benefits from having a hugely dedicated fanbase.

You’ll be able to participate in the summer festival by taking part in the campaign, arena, novice arena, and rune temple. You can expect plenty of great rewards too, with diamonds up for grabs, 5-star Mercenaries, 5-star skills books, 5-star skill transfer tickets, 30 legend scrolls, and even fresh summer-themed costumes for mercenaries like Anais and Elisé.

You might be busy sending your hulking Dark Knight into the midst of battle in Webzen’s other recent release: the long-anticipated MU Origin 2. But for something a little different, the South Korean publisher has launched First Hero. Released today worldwide – except for China, the Middle East and Japan – this real-time strategy game for Android and iOS is all about collecting characters and winning wars.

The characters you collect, or rather ‘summon’ in the tried-and-true MMO fashion, are a mix of historical and folkloric figures from around the planet. There are more than 50 of these heroes up for grabs, and that number is sure to grow. Apart from these nods to the real world, everything takes place in a fantasy realm where there are monsters to be slayed, kingdoms to be conquered and alliances to be forged.

ThroughLine Games’ critically acclaimed puzzle-platformer, Forgotton Anne, has finally launched on the App Store. It tells the somber story of the Forgotlings, a collection of lost household objects who have been brought to life using a magical force called Anima.

Fans of the legendary Studio Ghibli, creators of animated classics like My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away, will notice and appreciate Forgotten Anne’s similar hand-animated art style. Also like Ghibli’s best work, the game’s affecting story is enhanced by a soaring orchestral score.

You play as Anne, a human enforcer in the land of the Forgotlings who wants nothing more than to return to the world she once called home. In order to do that, she’ll have to work alongside her boss, Master Bonku, to put a stop to a potentially dangerous uprising.

The latest entry in the acclaimed Hello Hero series, Hello Hero All Stars, has now launched for Android and iOS. It’s a super ambitious idle RPG that brings together hundreds of collectable heroes from the earlier games and adds a bunch more on top.

Hello Hero’s popularity stems from its quirky characters and constantly rewarding gameplay. While it’s an idle game, the combat requires plenty of tactical thought thanks to the smart coordinate lock system.

After a massively popular pre-registration period, Outfit7’s runner, Talking Tom Hero Dash, has now landed on iOS and Android. This latest game in the beloved Talking Tom and Friends franchise sees the Talking Tom Heroes team taking on a band of reckless raccoons using their superpowers and incredible high-tech gadgets.

Each iconic member of the team – Talking Tom, Talking Angela, Talking Hank, Talking Ben, and Talking Ginger – uses their own special gadgets and awesome superpowers. Many of them make traversing each of the game’s 5 worlds a whole lot easier. In the mix, there are high-tech magnetic gloves, special tracking glasses, a bottomless backpack full of funny items, and even a speedy hoverboard.

Webzen’s acclaimed MU Origin 2 recently launched on iOS and Android, shaking up the MMORPG genre in the process. It’s a huge game with a lot of different systems and modes to learn, so we’ve put together a handy beginner’s guide to give you a head start on the competition.

Selecting your starter class

After booting up the game for the first time, you’ll be presented with a choice of three different starter classes. First off, there’s the nimble, angelic Elf whose long-range attacks and assassination skills can devastate any enemy. The overwhelmingly powerful Dark Knight is a master of swordsmanship, though he still prefers to crush any demons with his immense strength. Then there’s the Dark Wizard, a mage of sorts, whose expert manipulation of the elements makes him a deadly force from afar.

If you just can’t make up your mind, and I don’t blame you, you could try them all out for a bit using any of the 4 character slots.

Having successfully left its closed beta phase, MU Origin 2 is no longer available for pre-registration – because it’s now entered its full release. It’s a fully-fledged 3D MMORPG and the second spin-off based on the Webzen’s popular MU universe, merging magical fantasy elements with satisfying gameplay in a mobile experience primed to be shared with others.

Your journey in Mu Origin 2 begins by selecting one of three character classes: Dark Knight, Dark Wizard and Elf. Each one boasts their own diverse gameplay mechanics and upgrade potential, which makes conquering dungeons as part of a team even more meaningful. You engage in combat entirely in real-time, fighting off rival factions and bosses in a bid to prove yourself the best.

Webzen have just announced the official launch date for its stunning MMORPG ‘MU Origin 2’ which will arrive for iOS and Android on May 28th. It will be the second spinoff from the classic PC-based MU Online, and it looks to further refine the fantasy action and storytelling that made the series such a hit to begin with.

You’ll start your journey by selecting one of three starter classes. There’s the overwhelmingly powerful Dark Knight; the spell-casting, staff-wielding Dark Wizard; and the cunning Elf. Once that’s out of the way, you can band together with other players to start uncovering the world and its many vast dungeons.

Loot is plentiful and always powerful, though the real-time combat remains skill-based. If you’re feeling especially confident, you could test your mettle in PvP battles against rival players and guilds. And for those who aren’t looking for a fight, there’s the option to instead complete puzzles together.

The game has already found much success following its launch in China, South Korea, and South-East Asia. Given the hugely positive reaction, it makes sense that Webzen plans to continue supporting the game with daily dungeons and field quests.
