Eastgames announced on the 7th that it will conduct an invitation-only closed beta test (CBT) for the latest installment of the 'Cabal Online' series, 'CabalRED', on the 25th, and will recruit closed beta testers from today until the 20th.
'CabalRED' is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that follows the legacy of 'Cabal Online.' While 'Cabal 2' is a spin-off of 'Cabal Online' and 'Cabal Mobile' emphasizes a mobile adaptation of the original, 'CabalRED' inherits the world view of the existing Cabal intellectual property (IP) and is set in the world that follows 'Cabal Online.'
The characteristic of 'CabalRED' is that it allows users to focus on the essence of fun in games, aiming to develop a game system that does not simply follow the recent trends of Korean MMORPGs. First, 'CabalRED' is developed as a cross-platform game. Accordingly, it supports cross-play between mobile and PC, providing users with an environment to enjoy 'CabalRED' anytime and anywhere. Moreover, while inheriting the originality of the original work, it offers superior graphic quality and features a diversified dungeon system and an enhanced character development system.
As a result, 'CabalRED' has maintained the core elements of stylish combat action, including battle style, battle modes, and combos, allowing players to enjoy gameplay. It inherits the characteristics of the five classes from the original: 'Force Blader,' 'Warrior,' 'Wizard,' 'Force Archer,' and 'Force Shield,' while adding various growth systems and evolution structures in character, skills, and equipment, enabling a stronger charm unique to 'CabalRED.'
The types of dungeons have also expanded. In addition to ▲ solo ▲ party ▲ guild dungeons, ▲ abyss content has been added for PvE (player versus environment). PvP (competitiveness) content consists of ▲ PK ▲ 3:3 mission battles ▲ guild battles. Along with this, a new transaction system has been introduced to support the free trading of paid currencies. Particularly, optimized user experience (UI·UX) for mobile offers a differentiated combat experience, while individual shortcut settings for PC enhance the thrill of battles.
The CBT will take place from April 25 to 27. The CBT recruitment period is from April 7 to 20, lasting a total of 14 days, with winners announced between April 22 and 23.
Jung Jin-kwan, producer of CabalRED Studio, noted, "We have put our utmost effort into the goal of creating a Cabal series that is more fun than Cabal Online. We aim to receive honest feedback from early adopter gamers through this 425 CBT," and added, "There may still be shortcomings, but fun is guaranteed."
