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.

After a period of open beta testing, RebirthM has just received its official release in Brazil, and Caret Games is now building up to a global launch. This fantasy action MMORPG is styled after classic PC entries in the genre, as well as other contemporaries for the mobile from fellow South Korean developers. You can look forward to creating and customising a hero, questing across the fantastical land of Arcroth and encountering friend and foe along the way. But those outside Brazil will have to wait a little longer to join the fun. In the mean time, here is a bite-sized guide to RebirthM, so – when the time comes – you can dive right into the action.

Choose your class

As with all the best multiplayer RPGs, RebirthM has a character class system so you can create a hero tailored to your play style. There are four classes available: Ranger, Slayer, Wizard and Berserker. As you'd expect, each class has strengths and weaknesses. If you prefer to be a rough, tough melee specialist, the Slayer or Berserker class will suit. For long-range attacking and spell casting, Rangers and Wizards are best. In guilds, a perfect balance of classes is likely the best way to succeed in battle, since each class's weaknesses are compensated for by another's strengths. So don't be shy, make friends with your fellow heroes.

Celebrate the holidays with MU Origin. The hit action MMO receives a massive update this month filled to the brim with new content and holiday cheer. You’ll find new battlefields and arenas, updated Companion features, a higher level cap (rebirth12 for all of you itching to get back to the experience grind), and plentiful goodies to keep you hooked through New Years and beyond.

Test your sword in the Battlefield of Emperor, an all new 20vs20 fight that pits the Alliance against the Order. Defeat your enemy’s Mineral Base and you’ll receive a healthy helping of experience points, Bound Zen, and Emperor points. The rewards are great if you have what it takes to stand up in this epic new battlefield. You can spend those hard-earned Emperor points on Tarot Cards once you beat the Master of the Forest quest. Equip Tarot Cards to further power up your character and gain special options.

The Companion Arena, too, offers new chances to test your mettle in combat. This arena mode is a 2vs2 battle between Companions that could give your character a chance to get the exclusive companion costume. You can send Blessings to other Companions, too, using different types of Flowers that grant unique effects.

Character customization is a big theme in this update, and the addition of Accessories builds on that in a big way. You can now buy Accessories from shops or activate them by fulfilling special requirements. These new upgrades grant your hero new character options that can boost your prowess in battle. Or, if pure aesthetics is what you’re after, you can now dress your character in the Santa Costume for some festive flair, or adopt Snow, the new seasonal pet.

Explore all of these new features and much more. You can find MU Origin on iOS and Android. The latest MU Origin trailer has been released today, what the newest update includes is now available on the official WEBZEN YouTube channel:

In case you haven’t heard, MU Origin just got a colossal new update with new all-server events, battle modes, and systems making their way to the land of MU. Here’s a handy guide to everything you need to know about the latest content.

Brand new PVP mode – Battlefield of Heroes

To kick things off, there’s the new all-server PVP battle event, Battlefield of Heroes. Now, an RPG revamping its battle modes here and there might not seem like anything new – but in the land of MU things tend to be a little more epic. Pushing the boundaries of graphics capabilities and server limitations is the name of the game in MU Origin, and it’s perfectly exemplified in this gargantuan 100 player team battle event, fully realised in stunning 3D visuals.

Split into one of two teams, you’ll be competing against up to 50 other warriors, battling to gain points by vanquishing your opponents, hunting for bosses, and mining precious items. Every point you pick up brings the promise of better rewards so be sure to register from 21-00-21:25 every Tuesday and Friday to get involved in the action.

Battle Core Event

Another exciting all-server event served up in the latest update is Battle Core – a mad dash race for teams to reach 1,000 points in order to emerge victorious. There will be plenty of rewards for those that do, with large amounts of EXP, fame points, and achievement points earned for every victory. At the same token, rewards will diminish significantly after every loss, so there’s no room for any shirking.

To keep all things fair and competitive, the Battle Core system will assess the ability of each team to make sure that their opponents will be evenly matched, so it’s going to take brains as well as brawn to win.

Server Dungeons – ‘Harmageddon’ and ’Elemental War’

Team up with players from all over the world to take on evil in these two new all-server dungeons. These certainly aren’t to be taken lightly, with victory in Harmageddon only being achievable by defeating the final boss in under 15 minutes – and to get that far you will have to battle past the Four Knights in order to summon him.

Elemental War is no picnic either, with victory achieved only after destroying evil hordes one after the other. So what’s so hard about that you ask? Well, there are over 30 waves of them in total, and each get progressively more difficult with every one that you dispatch. On top of that, you’ll be battling against the clock as well – if there are any monsters left standing when the time limit expires then the dungeon will end, and so will your chance to pick up those precious rewards.

Upgrade your characters with the new Soul Stone and Relic Systems

Besides adding in some glorious new ways of engaging in combat, the latest update to MU Origin also provides some new and unique systems to upgrading your character and gaining buffs.
The Soul Stone system will task you with finding one of three different types of stone – Orbium, Tris, and Quadion – which when used and combined together in various ways will grant elemental stats to your character.

These precious stones can be found by mining for them using Diamonds and the mysterious Soul Dust – which can be obtained in the Elemental War dungeon and Battlefield of Heroes event.

The Relic system will provide even more ways to boost your character by piecing together the fabled Relics – Golden Grail, Golden Crown, Golden Sword, and Golden Scripture – from 6 different pieces. To get the benefits from the pieces, you’ll need to enhance them using fragments, which you can find in the Harmageddon dungeon and Battlefield of heroes event. Do all of that and you’re on your way to receiving some really powerful boosts to your stats.

But that’s not all...

Besides the big events and fancy new stat systems, you’ll find improvements in many more areas of the game. In-game items have had their stack limits significantly raised, three brand new pets have been introduced, the max equipment enhance level and Zodiac levels have been boosted, and there’s also a new costume system to give your character a fresh new look too. Besides all this, MU Origin is even letting you cut a few corners here and there with the Daily Benefits system, which allows you to instantly clear daily tasks.
