Ragnarok Zero: Global is the first Global PC service for the Ragnarok franchise, bringing players across Southeast Asia, Europe and Oceania into a unified global service environment where adventurers can experience the nostalgic world of Midgard together for the very first time.

Officially licensed by Gravity Co., Ltd., Ragnarok Zero: Global builds upon the original Ragnarok Online experience with carefully developed improvements that modernize gameplay while preserving the spirit of the classic MMORPG.

The game adopts a subscription-based service model aimed at minimizing pay-to-win elements and reducing excessive monetization pressure, allowing players to enjoy a fairer and more immersive MMORPG experience. The upcoming OBT will be available free of charge for all players.

The OBT marks the first opportunity for all players worldwide to experience the world of Midgard in Ragnarok Zero: Global ahead of the official launch.

"Ragnarok Zero: Global represents our effort to offer a new take on the original Ragnarok experience while improving it for today's players," said Harry Choi, President of Gravity Game Unite.
