Lineage Eternal is Dead, Long Live The Lineage
The oft-delayed and seemingly just as oft-rebooted Lineage Eternal is being rebooted as The Lineage. Set for beta in 2018, The Lineage is a totally new project with much of the game assets replaced, including the engine. The Lineage will run on Unreal Engine 4, has five confirmed classes, and will retain the seige system from the previous incarnation.

Lineage Eternal Hits Beta This Year, Probably
NCSoft Korea is planning on launching Lineage Eternal’s closed beta test in April, at least that’s what the current plans are. The news comes to us from Steparu, reporting on another source from Korean website GameFocus. Steparu reminds viewers that this anticipated closed beta date comes after multiple other scheduled, and subsequently missed, beta dates for the upcoming MMO over the past year or so.
Lineage Eternal was originally announced in 2011 with an accompanying quarter hour of gameplay footage. The game has seen numerous delays, with beta schedules going as far back as 2013 for Korean audiences, and it is currently unknown when NCSoft plans on launching the title.

Games To Watch Out For: NCSoft Edition
If there was ever a game to give Diablo 3 a run for its money, it is Lineage Eternal. Fully revealed late this year, Lineage Eternal brings players back to the days of Lineage with even more chaos and destruction. We were treated to a fourteen minute video of pure gameplay, with cutscenes, massive battles, and showcasing the game’s physics and destruction engine. With the success of Lineage and Lineage II, especially in the Korean markets, Lineage Eternal looks to bring back the days of dealing destruction on a massive scale.
We eagerly await more Lineage Eternal information in the coming year.
Do I need to elaborate? Guild Wars promises to give something everyone can enjoy, from the hardcore player vs player to the MMO fan who simply wants an open world to explore. Arenanet promises to build a dynamic world without subscriptions or heavy grind, world PvP, and the ripple effect. In the case of dynamic events, considerably similar to the public quests of Warhammer Online but on a much larger scale, the actions of players will determine in what direction each phase of the dynamic events move.
Guild Wars has a very strong following of gamers, like it or not, and will prove to be among the biggest releases of 2012.
14 Minutes Of Lineage Eternal
NCSoft last week announced Lineage Eternal: Twilight Resistance. Although you won’t be fighting back hordes of sparkling vampires, the game promises massive battles, siege warfare, destructible environments, and more. The game is presented in the original Lineage isometric view, etc.
The trailer shows off some amazing concepts. Large scale battles, the destruction engine, boss creatures, cutscenes and more. The game looks like it will play similar to the isometric dungeon crawlers ala Diablo and Torchlight, with a few twists. The player character is shown using abilities by dragging the mouse and making patterns. A circle around the player unleashes a swirling blade slash that destroys everything around him. Enemies do not display health bars in the trailer. A grappling mechanic allows the player to both pull mobs within reach and scale normally blocked terrain.
You’ll have to watch the video to see all the glory for what it is.
