DRIMAGE (CEO Jeong Woo-yong) announced on the 10th that it will host an online showcase for its blockbuster MMORPG “Architect: Land of Exile” (hereinafter, Architect) at 8:00 p.m. on September 17, ahead of the game’s planned launch in the second half of the year.

Framed around the concept “ARCHIFACT,” the showcase underscores the company’s commitment to transparently sharing everything about Architect. As a next-generation, big-budget MMORPG, the event will go in depth on the game’s aspirations, core pillars, and key differentiators, and it will also spell out concrete plans for live service operations going forward.

The teaser trailer released today (the 10th) features influencers getting hands-on with Architect, accompanied by real gameplay footage. In the video, they dive into signature content such as the Great Deluge, the Trial Gate, the Phantom Vault, and the Rift, praising the game’s overwhelming scale, high-fidelity graphics, and polished core gameplay.

The showcase is slated to open with remarks from Aqua Tree CEO Park Beom-jin, who oversees development on Architect. He will present the studio’s development philosophy—centered on building an MMORPG players can genuinely enjoy—along with the features that set Architect apart.

A live Q&A will follow with DRIMAGE’s business operations leadership, who will offer specific, candid answers on topics including:

• the in-game economy,

• the monetization model (BM),

• countermeasures against illicit farming/botting operations,

• the update roadmap and direction,

• and player communication plans.

In the lead-up to launch, DRIMAGE is releasing a four-part video series highlighting Architect’s core features. Notably, on the 8th the studio rolled out Episode 2, which spotlights the game’s five classes and combat action, further building anticipation for release.

The Architect online showcase will be viewable via the official YouTube channel on the 17th, with pre-registration opening the same day.
