Lineage W is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by NCSoft. It is a fifth major installment of the Lineage series by using all elements from Lineage game and sharing some elements with the Lineage II title. The game was announced in August 2021,[1][2] and released for Android, iOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems on November 4 of the same year in East Asia. The game supports cross-platform play between mobile, PCs, and consoles.
Although the game was set for worldwide release in 2021, it is still unavailable in regions outside of Asia. The game is also set to be released for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
The week before THE WORLD showcase events, NCSoft announced that a new Lineage game will be the largest launching title ever. It was initially targeted for worldwide launch with most platforms supported. Later, NCsoft has updated the website to reveal more information and open for pre-registration. NCSoft CCO Taek Jin Kim marked this game as "the final Lineage".
Lineage W introduces a single build for the global market to create a global battle community. Players from different countries can cooperate and compete in a single server. In order to convert all elements in Lineage from 2.5D to 3D, NCSoft has used Unreal Engine 4 to develop this game. It supports NCSoft in-house AI-Translation that can translate the chat/community/communication in real-time to the player. Voice-to-text is also included in-game to make easy communication between players.[3]
