Gravity Co., Ltd. launched Ragnarok Origin Classic on March 26 2026, making the new MMORPG available in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and the broader Southeast Asian market. The title can be accessed on PC through a downloadable client and on mobile via Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Ragnarok Origin Classic preserves the nostalgic charm of the original Ragnarok Online while streamlining character progression to reduce grind time. The game introduces a monthly pass that grants access to exclusive content and rewards, aiming to create a sustainable, player‑friendly monetization model that balances free‑to‑play accessibility with long‑term engagement.
The launch is part of Gravity’s broader strategy to expand the Ragnarok IP across multiple platforms and regions. By adding a new title that tests a monthly‑pass model, the company seeks to diversify revenue streams and capture a larger share of the growing mobile MMORPG market in Southeast Asia, where smartphone penetration and free‑to‑play demand are rising.
Gravity’s recent financial results show a mixed picture. Full‑year 2025 revenue rose 11.8% to KRW 560 billion, but operating profit fell 7.7% to KRW 77 billion, largely due to a decline in revenue from the legacy Ragnarok M: Classic. The new launch is expected to help offset these headwinds by attracting new players and generating additional in‑game purchases.
In a statement, Gravity said, 'We have perfectly realized the pure joy of adventure that users have long desired in Ragnarok Origin Classic.' The company highlighted the monthly pass as a key feature that encourages sustained player activity while maintaining a fair gameplay environment.
