SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CBT–Gravity Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRVY), a global game company, will start the second CBT for a new 3D MMORPG, Ragnarok V: Returns, in Oceania on April 6.

Ragnarok V: Returns, a multi-platform MMORPG, is the sequel to ‘Ragnarok: Valkyrie Uprising,’ which has been played by more than five million global users. In addition to the attractive aesthetics unique to Ragnarok, this game will feature a high level of freedom for players.

After the first CBT held over one week from February 16, users expressed satisfaction with the game by commenting, “This game is the closest to Ragnarok Online,” “It brought back old memories throughout the CBT,” and “I enjoyed this game because it had many cute and adorable costumes.”

The second CBT of Ragnarok V: Returns will target Oceania users and be held from 1:00 p.m. on April 6 to 1:00 p.m. on April 12 (Australian Eastern Standard Time). Unlike the first CBT held for mobile users only, the second CBT can be enjoyed on not only a mobile version for Android and iPhone devices, but also on a PC version. During the CBT period, a variety of benefits will be provided to users during two events. The first event, “Show off Your Character”, will invite users to take screenshots of their characters and post them on social media. The second event, “Second CBT Questionnaire Survey”, is a survey to gather feedback from the users.

For the second CBT, the game has been updated through balance adjustment, playtime improvement, debugging, trial content improvement, and more based on user feedback from the first CBT. Being the last CBT, users participating in the CBT will be able to enjoy playing the game even more prior to its official launch.

A Gravity official said, “We prepared the 2nd CBT for users to enjoy the game even longer before the games’ official launch in April. As this is the last CBT before the launch, we ask for users to participate, as we are committed to updating the game until the very last minute based on users’ opinions from the second CBT.”
