IT Home June 24 News, the official IP sequel of Lineage 2, "Lineage 2: Covenant" (天堂2：盟约), developed by NCSoft (NC) and published by Tencent Games, officially launched its full-platform open beta today.

The game is positioned as a "3D loot-gathering fantasy epic MMO," launching simultaneously on mobile and PC, with cross-platform data sharing across iOS, Android and PC, and no restrictions on accounts. NCSoft also revealed last month that the number of pre-registered users for the game in the Chinese market was approximately 4.95 million.

According to official introduction, the most core adjustments at launch lie in the changes to equipment acquisition and economic system, and it also supports daily offline AFK grinding, with 300 summon tickets given as a launch gift.

The officials clearly stated that "locking top gear behind paywalls" is a thing of the past, and all top equipment and materials will be obtained through open-world hunting, boss monsters, and dungeon drops, without the need to pay. The game returns the right to set equipment prices to players, and the actual value of top-tier equipment is jointly determined by the allies in the server.

At the same time, subsequent versions will gradually open up a cross-server trading system, allowing equipment and materials to circulate freely across all servers, clearly targeting the core demands of older-generation Lineage 2 players for "treasure hunting" and "value preservation."

In terms of basic settings, the game retains a Western fantasy background, featuring five major races: Humans, Elves, Dark Elves, Orcs, and Dwarves, as well as six major职业 systems: Knight, Fighter, Raider, Archer, Priest, and Wizard.

To adapt to the pace of modern players, the game has reduced the burden in the nurturing experience, supporting the "Hundred Turns Without Bounds" (百转无界) system, where one account can freely switch between multiple professions and unlock complete growth paths. At the same time, a daily offline AFK mechanism is introduced, allowing characters to automatically hunt monsters while players are offline, and rewards can be claimed upon logging in. In terms of team battle experience, based on engine optimization and improved server architecture, the siege battles have reached a level capable of supporting thousand-player simultaneous on-screen battles.

Lineage 2: Covenant can be experienced on PC, mobile phones, and tablets. Supports mobile devices.HarmonyOS, iOS, and Android platforms, with the following specific configuration requirements:
