The company announced in May 2018 about their intentions to upgrade the engine from UE3 to 4. The above is just 1080p though (I would’ve personally liked to have seen it encoded in 1440p at 60fps) and it doesn’t really look like they redid graphical assets or re-rigged character/monster animations. Basically, the above doesn’t pop (there isn’t that crisp fidelity) where I cannot really see any real upgrade over the existing graphics except the client FPS lag which is pretty bad in the production client.
Also, their most recent producers letter (summer 2019) noted that this upgrade won’t be ready this year (which makes sense since even with NCSoft’s resources, something like this will take at least 2 years minimum).
