Barunson E&A provided PR at Gamescom 2019 and also posted on their website, the launch date of the western version of Astellia Online.
Their pre-order packages will be available until around September 2nd (based on the countdown timer as of this posting).
Assassins and Warriors will be un-gender locked for launch (so players can create female versions of them). The announcements also notes a “revamped UI”, “cross class mounts”, “new solo Colosseum modes”, and an “increase in the amount of guild members” (30 members was the base amount for a new guild).
As is customary for these launches, the company plans to run in-game events and will have GM’s that the community can play with (probably the only time players will see them actively roaming around) as well as the “promise” for updated content including class evolutions, a new Astel, and the first Legendary dungeon tier.
Myself? I’ll be taking a pass on the launch to see how they manage the game over the next 3 months (post launch). I don’t expect this game to remain B2P for very long unless they are very aggressive with their cadence of actual new content updates.
