- A Letter from Producer Ham — Network Test & Publishing Update - 15 September 2026
Hello everyone,First, I want to say thank you to everyone who took part in our first network test on September 12th. Getting real players on our servers, even for a short window, gave us something we simply couldn't get from internal testing alone, and we're grateful to everyone who showed up. I also know a test like this, limited to about six hours and to North America only, means a lot of you who wanted to take part weren't able to — whether it was the timing that didn't work for you, or simply where you're located. I want to apologize for that. The good news is you won't need an invite to play for much longer. We're working toward Early Access, and it's coming sooner than you might think.I'm writing today to share an important update about how ArcheAge Chronicles will move forward.As some of you already know, XLGames will be self-publishing ArcheAge Chronicles directly. This is a del…

- ArcheAge Chronicles Producer's Letter – Pioneering a New Era - 31 July 2025
Hey everyone,I’m Ham Yongjin, Executive Producer at XLGAMES, and I’ve got some news to share with you about ArcheAge Chronicles.This project has been quietly growing behind the scenes for a while now, and today I want to share what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how it ties into everything we’ve loved (and maybe struggled with) about ArcheAge as a game series over the years.Why This Game, and Why Now?We didn’t want to just do a sequel. We didn’t want to reboot what came before. Instead, we saw a chance to tell a new story, one set 50 years after the events of the original. Auroria, once wild and dangerous, is starting to come alive again. People are returning. Settlements are rising from ruins. And you? You’re part of that first wave of brave souls heading back in.So yeah… this isn’t ArcheAge 2. It’s not a traditional MMORPG. What we’re making is a discovery-driven online action R…
- [ArcheAge Chronicles] Developer Diary - Our Vision - 10 October 2024
Hello gamers, near and far. I'm Yongjin Ham, the executive producer of ArcheAge Chronicles. We're excited to expand upon the world of ArcheAge with this new, ambitious title. Our goal is to make the game more accessible to a wider audience, expanding upon the typical MMO framework by incorporating open-world action gameplay. This next chapter coalesces the core ArcheAge spirit with a breath of fresh air, just like stepping into a new world for the very first time. We've made sure that both new and long-time players can enjoy the game to its fullest on their own terms. Those who love single-player games can get a taste of journeying through a shared, dynamic world with other players, while MMO veterans can enjoy the immersion and rich gameplay they know and love. No matter what kind of gamer you are, you're sure to feel right at home in Auroria. A New Story to Tell The story of ArcheAge…
- [ArcheAge Chronicles] A letter from the Executive Producer - 24 September 2024
Hello, ArcheAge fans! We are proud to officially announce ArcheAge Chronicles, the next chapter in the ArcheAge series. This upcoming online action RPG will deliver unparalleled immersive gameplay, with a strong emphasis on intense, visceral combat. Players can look forward to epic raids, rich party gameplay, and countless ways to engage with the vibrant world. In lieu of a direct sequel, we've prepared a fresh take on the ArcheAge universe by shifting away from large-scale competitive battles to smaller group activities and interactive adventures. Our aim is for ArcheAge Chronicles to be approachable and enjoyable for both veteran players as well as those who are just joining our world. The story takes place fifty years after the original title, introducing new conflicts and characters with different goals and convictions. Each character will have their own unique arc, presenting anoth…
