Publishers Gravity and Daweon Game Media Lab, alongside developer Waycoder, have officially unveiled Ragnarok Console Project, a new title coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The game is slated for release in the first half of 2027.
This latest entry is rooted in the long-running Ragnarok franchise, which first gained global recognition with the massively multiplayer online RPG Ragnarok Online. According to its Steam page, the project aims to deliver a fresh take on a beloved universe.
The official overview describes Ragnarok Console Project as a new RPG set in a world that feels familiar but has been completely reimagined. Players will face a collapsing reality and uncover buried truths, with the narrative built around choices and consequences. The journey is framed as one from which there is no turning back.
The prologue sets a tense tone: a protagonist awakens, not in pain, but with a single urgent question: “Where is the item?” The answer is already known,it is gone. This item, described as capable of shaking an entire nation, triggers a mission that has only just begun. The story suggests that failure is not an end, but often a beginning.
Key features highlighted include a narrative built on choice and responsibility, where beliefs and decisions collide beyond a simple good-versus-evil dichotomy. Players will explore a world on the brink of collapse, traveling through deserts, ruins, research facilities, and dimensional rift zones to uncover the truth. The game will feature diverse characters and classes, including Knights, Mages, Priests, and Hunters, each with distinct combat styles. Central to the plot are dimensions and rifts, as distortions and secrets surrounding the Heart of Ymir slowly consume the world.
An announcement teaser trailer and a prototype gameplay video have also been released, offering a first look at the game’s direction.
