Kakao Games Launches Odin: Valhalla Rising Globally This Year

Longtime readers of our site might remember the buzz back in 2022 when Catherine first covered the highly anticipated MMORPG, Odin: Valhalla Rising. If the Norse mythology-inspired world piqued your interest then, you're in for a treat. Kakao Games has officially announced that Odin: Valhalla Rising is set to launch globally later this year, and it's already amassed an impressive 17 million downloads in Asia alone.

Starting April 3rd, you can secure your spot in this epic adventure through pre-registration. This not only lets you reserve your character name and server but also gives you a sneak peek at the game with a stunning new trailer. The game promises an immersive experience across four of the nine Norse realms: Midgard, Jotunheim, Nidavellir, and Alfheim. Traverse these lands on mounts, uncover hidden treasures, scale mountains, and immerse yourself in a world that truly embodies the grandeur of Norse mythology.

**Whosever holds this phone...** Odin: Valhalla Rising is not just about exploring vast realms. It introduces four distinct classes at launch—Warrior, Sorceress, Priest, and Rogue—each offering unique gameplay experiences. Powered by Unreal Engine, the game boasts next-gen graphics, almost-seamless exploration with minimal loading screens, and cross-play functionality, making it a potential "phone melter" with its visual splendor and immersive setting.

Since its debut in Korea in 2021, Odin: Valhalla Rising has been a major hit. Now, as Kakao Games brings it to a global audience, the question remains: Can it maintain its appeal nearly half a decade after its initial launch? If the promised features hold true, it's poised for a successful worldwide reception.
