ROHAN 2 Global MMORPG: Pre-Registration Live, Blockchain Gaming Revolution Begins
The legendary ROHAN franchise is making its comeback with a twist. NEXUS and Playwith Korea have opened pre-registration for ROHAN 2 Global, an MMORPG that promises to bridge traditional gaming with blockchain technology through their innovative "ROHANomics" economy.
Massive Pre-Launch Interest
Since pre-registration launched on September 5, ROHAN 2 has officially passed 1.3 million global pre-registrations, signaling strong demand for the franchise's return. Players who sign up early get milestone rewards including rare mounts and summon tickets delivered at launch.
The game builds on the beloved ROHAN IP that originally launched in 2008, featuring familiar races like Humans, Elves, and Half-Elves alongside classic MMORPG elements like large-scale boss battles and PvP combat.
The ROHANomics System
What sets ROHAN 2 apart is its blockchain integration. The core currency "RUBY" supply is capped at 1 billion to help preserve value, creating a player-driven economy where gamers actually own their digital assets.
Here's how it works: Players earn or buy RUBY tokens in-game, which can be converted to $RUBYx on the blockchain, then traded for $CROSS tokens on crypto exchanges. Only 900 million out of the game's total 1 billion RUBY supply will be sold through presale, with the remainder available in the in-game shop.
Dual Gaming Experience
The developers smartly designed ROHAN 2 to work for both traditional gamers and crypto enthusiasts. Regular players can enjoy the full experience without touching blockchain features, while Web3 users can dive into token trading and ownership.
The game offers a unified account system where players can share character levels and information across all characters within a single account, plus cross-platform play between mobile and PC.
Global Expansion Plans
Following its initial release in South Korea on September 25, 2024, the game is now expanding its reach to regions including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, and beyond. The phased rollout allows for localized support as the game reaches new markets.
What Players Can Expect
ROHAN 2 features five character classes with distinct roles: Human Knights (tanks), Dhan Assassins (stealth damage), Elf Healers (support), Half-Elf Archers (ranged), Dekan Dragon Fighters (hybrid combat)
The game includes auto-combat for busy players, territory boss battles, and cross-server PvP competitions.
The Bigger Picture
ROHAN 2 represents a significant test for blockchain gaming - can developers successfully integrate crypto elements without alienating traditional MMORPG players? The massive pre-registration numbers suggest there's appetite for this hybrid approach.
ROHAN 2 is built and published by NEXUS Co. Ltd. in partnership with Playwith Korea and is fully integrated with the CROSS Protocol, making it one of the first major titles on this blockchain infrastructure.
Players can pre-register through the official website, Google Play, or Apple Store. While no official launch date has been announced, the developers continue rolling out pre-sale events and milestone rewards as they prepare for the global release.
