Previously known as Ascent Infinite Realm
KRAFTON is the developer while Kakao Games will be the publisher of Elyon Online. From the creators of TERA online, Kakao bring the west audience a brand new MMORPG. Unfortunately, it is still using the Unreal Engine 3 as opposed to the newer Unreal Engine 4. This is actually quite a shame due to the fact that Unreal Engine 5 is already in works, we should honestly be seeing games released in Unreal Engine 4 or equivalent this decade. As we know, there are lots of performance issues associated with Unreal Engine 3 along with graphics and textures looking quite bland, stock and plasticly.
Elyon Release Date
Elyon is releasing on September 29, 2021!

Elyon FAQ
Air combat elements were something new and appreciated in the previous version. With most of AiR combat systems removed or downsized, do you have plans to reinstate that in future expansions/updates?
We are aware of the positive community’s feedback regarding the original air combat mechanics for Elyon, although we haven’t discussed this in depth yet, we may have plans on this for the future.
Do you plan to implement more ambient/players interactions to be more immersive and roleplaying-friendly?
We don’t have plans for this right now, but it will be taken into consideration for future updates.
Some classes are visually smaller than others and it gets difficult to target an enemy player in RvR/Open World. Will you consider making characters more visible?
It’s a concern that has been considered during the development process. Players have shown to be able to adapt to this pretty easily in multiple situations. However, as we value and will constantly monitor players’ feedback, more options may be added in the future.
Will there be IP restrictions?
Yes, there will be IP restrictions for the countries, however, for any territory not mentioned below, there may be different channels offered in the future.
What’s the subscription/business model for Elyon? Will NA/EU version adapt to the Western market and communities?
Buy 2 Play with in-game purchases. We are working to adapt the many areas of Elyon for the western audience.
How will you plan to address new content such as updates, outfits, pets, mounts for Global? Will we get the same timely content as Korea or different/exclusive content?
At the beginning of the service we’ll closely follow the Korean release. As we’ll need to catch up in localization as soon as possible, we will do our best in order to limit the amount of time you need to wait for the newest content.
Is it possible to get an option to turn off/tone down visual effects of enemy players’ skills?
There is currently an option for visual effects, however, we will be making improvements according to players’ feedback.
How many new class releases can we expect per year?
We are currently considering adding 1~2 new classes per year, however, this may be subject to change.
Will there be servers, like in Tera, for multiple languages and one for all?
In the EU/NA version of Elyon there won’t be servers dedicated to different languages. However, multiple channels will be accessible from the beginning, more information will be provided in the future
Do you plan to make any changes to the crafting system, such as adding normal items to craft and not only breakthrough?
Adding normal items would cause the value of these items to significantly decrease. For example, they are easier to obtain and do not get destroyed while enchanting
Will there be Energy buffs to improve the recovery speed?
Yes. But how these items will be obtained has not been determined yet.
Are there plans to increase PVE activities such as guild content, more dungeons, raids with multiple parties?
We’re currently working on a new raid content that will involve 20 players at once. As we think additional guild content is required and requested, we will consider it as well in the future.
Are you considering adding more PVP modes, such as Party-Arena or Battle Royale?
There are no plans for a battle royale mode at the moment, but we do have other PvP modes like 1v1 tag arena and server-wide PvP tournaments in our agenda
How many characters can be created per account and will be deleting characters have any delay time?
It is a max of 5 characters, with a 0 to 10-minutes delay
It’s known that in KR, ppl are just using the marketplace to simply trade gold, and they’re not doing anything against this. What are your plans to avoid this issue?
We want to ensure fair gameplay, so RMT certainly will be against the ToU and punishable. The exact method and repercussions haven’t been determined yet and will constantly be evolving as goldsellers find new and sometimes very creative ways to RMT. In the last year or so of BDO, I set up a Hacker Hunter team within the GM team. They not only took over the handling of 3rd party software bans, which by then was an established process but also took us a lot further going into Pilot and marketplace trading and refining other bot detection methods. The results were very positive including forcing at least one major site to shut down and many others to push their price up to the point that it wasn’t worthwhile for the average person to use. That team is set to expand and continue their work with Elyon and our other games.
In the future of the game, will there be events with GM / CM as it was with Tera and BlackDesert? And about the events can they be different from Korea or will they be the same?
Yeah for sure. We ran a lot of fun events, both in-game and on our social platforms and we intend to do the same with Elyon
Before the game launch, do you have enough time to take all necessary actions in order to cancel IP restrictions?
We have a licensing agreement with the developers to publish the game in specific countries. Please understand this is not about nationality or a geo-political statement. It’s simply the terms of the contract between two entities. We’d love everyone in the world to experience Elyon with us, sadly that’s not possible for us to do under our agreement
Will the slayer be available on launch?
Yes, Slayer will be available on release. In fact, it will be available on CBT2
Are there ways that a faction can take over certain zones? and is there benefits of owning a zone?
No, it’s not possible to take over certain zones. This could significantly affect the balance between the 2 factions which we cannot control.
About cooperation: is it possible to play with friends and share loot, quests, craft, house, and more?
It’s not possible to share those features mentioned player to player, as everyone will have their own loot, crafting, housing, etc. However, you won’t be losing by playing with friends
Will you be adjusting your cash shop to not let this happen, or are you just going for a quick cash grab from the whales?
Already answered on the Reddit AMA. We will be making adjustments from the KR cash shop but the details aren’t decided yet, so we have no info to share
For official release will there be a name reservation and/or character creation in advance? Does the game allow you to save and load custom presets/sliders as well?
For Pre-creation character events we don’t have details yet. As for presets, for example, you can save your favorite skill sets and edit them anytime, so your playstyle can drastically change in one click. Also, you can save your character appearance and upload it on release
Will players, who got accepted to cbt 1, also be able to play on cbt 2?
CBT1 access does not grant CBT2 access. Details on how to get into CBT2 will follow later.”
Most of NA lives on the east coast so west coast servers are a very poor location for the eastern side of Canada or most of NA east. Is there any discussion that a central server location for NA can be relocated?
This has been answered already but the CM team will continue to forward feedback and concerns to the relevant stakeholders.
Can guild names have 2 letters?
Yes, it is possible
Are there any plans for a marriage system in the future? or has it been brought up in discussion at least?
There are no plans at the moment.
Is there a data wipe between CBT1 and CBT2
Yes regarding characters. but you can keep your Elyon account.
Is there a data wipe between CBT2 and Launch
Yes, everything gets wiped clean.
