Latest Elsword News

Today's a big day for Elsword players with the arrival of Laby, a new playable character. She is considered "one of Elsword's most highly anticipated characters" due to her "dynamic and explosive, in-your-face brawler" style of combat.

It's easy to think at first Elsword is just a button mashing pseudo-mmo but there's a lot of depth to the game once you get past the early game experience. They do a great job of laying everything out simply and then layering the complexity on top of it, so you learn everything in a way that makes sense and as a result it doesn't seem all that complex. However, if you were to skip to the end game most people would quickly be in way over their heads.

KOG Games has an interesting way of accessing the Velder Academy Concert dungeon during a new event. From now through October 10th, every 10 minutes spent in game will yield two Velder Academy Concert Tickets that grant access to the "dungeon". Once in, players find that Phoru is wreaking havoc on stage and it's up to them to "stop his madness and reap the rewards" by dodging sound wave and taking on the note monsters.

Elsword players will now finally come to the conclusion of the Varnimyr Dungeon series with the release of Shadow Vein. The El Search Party is hot on the trail of fresh new adventures in Varnimyr and Shadow Vein should provide a challenging opportunity.

Elsword players can check in on two brand new Varnimyr dungeons. Varnimyr is the home of the Dark Elves and players can face off against some of the game's most formidable foes in Dark Elves' Outpost and Forsaken Spirit Asylum. To show off each, KOG Games has released a brand new trailer.

KOG Games has sent word that a pair of new dungeons have been added to Elsword, both located within the Demon Realm. The update also features the new "Adaptability" stat that is only found in the Demon Realm. In addition, the Mystic Enchant System provides a way for end game players to make their gear stronger.

KOG Games is ready to party in celebration of the Elsword seventh anniversary. Drabaki will be heading back into the game but will only be available in the Drabaki dungeon through May 15th. Players can also register for the North american 1v1 tournament today and take part in the action from May 9th to May 17th.

KOG Games has announced that the latest patch has been deployed to Elsword that brings three brand new Job classes for at least three Paths for every playable character in the game. "Each of the Elsword characters have at least three Job paths. Each of these paths now has three Jobs (like character classes). Choices players make along the Paths determine the lore and how the character plays. This update "represents the doom, gloom and delectably sinister side of these characters".

Elsword is a unique title with its blending of manga and the MMO genre into a seamless (and fun!) game. We had the chance to chat with Director Dong-Shin Lee to learn how developers manage that precarious bridge between two seemingly disparate groups of players.

From the video description from KOG Games: Part 2 of the biggest update of the year is here with an all new vibe, some absolutely amazing, sexy and chic character designs, and some wicked events that are too good to miss! With all that swag, we couldn't help but change things up a bit...Watch and listen!"
