Ragnarok Console Project, a New Story-Driven RPG, Set for Multi-Platform Release in 2027

Publishers Gravity and Daweon Game Media Lab, alongside developer Waycoder, have officially announced Ragnarok Console Project, a new role-playing game set in the long-running Ragnarok universe.

The game is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2027 and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.

This title represents a fresh reinterpretation of the Ragnarok intellectual property, which originated with the massively multiplayer online RPG Ragnarok Online and has attracted over 100 million players worldwide.Unlike its MMO predecessor, Ragnarok Console Project focuses on a narrative-driven experience where player choices play a central role.The story is set in a reimagined version of the Ragnarok world, where reality itself is collapsing.

Players will uncover hidden truths while navigating a journey shaped by consequences, emphasizing moral ambiguity rather than a simple good-versus-evil structure.

The game’s prologue introduces a protagonist dealing with the loss of a powerful item capable of destabilizing an entire nation, setting the stage for a larger conflict.

As the narrative unfolds, players will explore diverse environments such as deserts, ancient ruins, research facilities, and areas affected by dimensional rifts.These distortions are tied to the mysterious “Heart of Ymir,” a key element in the game’s overarching plot.

Gameplay will feature a variety of character classes familiar to fans of the franchise, including Knights, Mages, Priests, and Hunters, each offering distinct combat roles and playstyles.Players will also interact with companions who contribute to both the story and gameplay dynamics.

Although still in development, early materials such as a teaser trailer and prototype gameplay footage suggest a blend of exploration, combat, and story-driven decision-making.The project aims to modernize the Ragnarok universe while preserving its core identity, appealing to both longtime fans and new players.
