SEA Open Beta Launch Date
Ragnarok: The New World Southeast Asia service is live as of July 16, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+7. Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and partner territories under Gravity Game Vision now run permanent servers — progress carries forward. Play on standalone PC, mobile, or Steam (store live July 26, 2026, same Gravity account). Steam did not open on the originally listed July 15 date. Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau launched January 15, 2026. Global rollout remains Q4 2026. Full celebration guide: Grand Launch Event.
Coverage includes Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and other SEA territories served by Gravity Game Vision. Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau already launched on January 15, 2026; this SEA window brings the same open-world Midgard experience plus the debut of the Druid class to a wider audience. Global release remains targeted for Q4 2026.
The Genesis Test (CBT) closed June 21, 2026 — all CBT progress wiped. SEA OBT is a fresh start for most players. If you topped up during CBT, check mail for rebate packages credited toward launch rewards as described in official maintenance notices. Watch the embedded video below for Genesis Test gameplay and open-world systems preview.

Day-One Launch Checklist
Before login: Pre-register if still open, wishlist on Steam, join official Discord for maintenance alerts. First hour: Claim pre-reg mail, redeem every active code, pick your first class (Mage and Gunslinger remain fast farmers; Druid is the new hybrid option — see Druid Build). First day: Complete tutorial, unlock wings, run dailies per Daily Routine, join a guild for MVP timers.
Install from official sources only — follow Download & Install. Link the same Gravity account you used for pre-registration so rewards attach correctly. PC and mobile share progress when linked; pick the platform with better performance for timed events.
Twenty Servers and Population Management
Gravity opened twenty SEA servers at once on July 16, 2026. If a server hits soft capacity during peak hours, character creation may pause temporarily — it reopens automatically when load drops. This protects existing players; no server permanently blocks new characters.
Choose your server with friends and guild pre-launch groups in mind. Full guide: Server Selection Guide. Standalone PC players should confirm mobile friends join the same server name when linking cross-platform accounts.
What Is New at SEA Launch
Eight major job classes are available from day one, including the new Druid shapeshifter with Werewolf, Bird-Man, and Nature Mage forms. Job Freedom still lets one character switch between all eight classes with free stat and skill resets.
Core systems unchanged from CBT: safe refinement to +15 without gear destruction, offline auto-hunting, player stalls and auctions, MVP mounts, and open-world exploration. Developers confirmed large-scale tournaments on the long-term roadmap during the July 2026 chief-examiner livestream with SEA content creators.
