PLAYWITH Korea (PLAYWITH) announced that official service for the mobile MMORPG Seal M2 will begin on October 22. Ahead of the release, the development team also released a preview video detailing the game's content and development direction.
The video, released on the official YouTube channel, features Playwith Games Planning Team Lead Kim Kyung-soo and Blue Fish Studio Director Choi In-ho. Introducing the game through interviews and narration, they explained their development direction to maintain the unique feel of the original Seal Online while delivering the fun expected from modern MMORPGs.
The video covers everything from the lore and world to class combat, character growth, and progression. Alongside progression elements like costumes, 'OOPArts', pets, and 'Guarders', it introduces 'Party Dungeons', 'Field Bosses', and 'Battlefield of Challenge', while explaining guild and community systems for player interaction.
Regarding examples of reinterpreting the original game's atmosphere, the development team remarked, "There were moments where Seal's signature comical atmosphere came alive as familiar characters and the world were realized in new graphics," adding, "Just like the 'World Cup Dance' from 24 years ago, we reinterpreted the humor of that era to fit modern times so adventurers will experience pleasant moments during play where they think, 'Oh??'"
They continued, "While players will initially feel a warm sense of familiarity with Seal, we hope that as they play, they will naturally discover the fun of new class combat and progression, along with the grand, exciting story of the continent of Shiltz."
Pre-registration for Seal M2 is currently underway on the official website and major app stores. The developer preview video and game-related information can be viewed on the official YouTube channel.
