We recently reached out to the people behind the game to learn more about it. Bluehole and Kakao Games’ upcoming Elyon is looking to take on that challenge that, and with a fast-paced combat system, large-scale realm vs realm battles, and a foundation to build off of thanks to its Korean launch, it seems well-positioned to get off to a steady start.

Making a successful MMORPG is one of the hardest things a developer can set out to do in this industry.
