Mortal Online 2: It’s Coming Out
Mortal Online 2 is happening, Star Vault this week released a teaser trailer and a heap of information.
Coming soon, Mortal Online 2 continues the level-less skill system of the original title, introducing an open-ended skill system where players become better at abilities just by simply using them. The company aims to make player characters more versatile and move away from the Mortal Online system that tended to push players toward specific roles.
The world of Myrland is built on the Unreal Engine 4 technology and features a massive four hundred square kilometer landscape to play around in. A closed combat alpha will be held in Q2 2020 for those interested in testing out the new game.

Star Vault Announces Mortal Online 2 As Mortal Royale Dies On Steam
Star Vault this week announced Mortal Online 2, the sequel/reboot of the sandbox PvP MMORPG. According to CEO Henrik Nystrom,
“We are proud of what we have achieved with Mortal, a game with little in the way of close competition. But technology has moved on and the time has come to upgrade to UE4.with much improved graphics, inclusive vr compatibility and many other advanced features. Doing this will create what is in part a new game. And this makes this a good time to restate our vision for what we want Mortal to be.”
Star Vault’s plans for Mortal Online 2 include absolutely no free to play, naming and shaming cheaters, and no more multiple characters per account which the company views as a form of pay to win. According to the announcement, player achievement in Mortal Online will transfer over to Mortal Online 2, however the details were not specified.
This announcement comes off of the recent outright failure of Mortal Royale, Star Vault’s entry into the Battle Royale game mode. Mortal Royale hit Steam in December of last year and managed a peak of 93 players, most of whom have left in the intervening two months. Despite the game boasting 1,000 player servers it couldn’t achieve a tenth of that via Steam traffic. Mortal Online as of this writing has 74 players online on Steam, however unlike its sequel Mortal Online is free to play.
Star Vault Latest To Jump On Battle Royale Bandwagon: Mortal Royale
Mortal Online is the latest to join the Battle Royale bandwagon, with Star Vault announcing the “coming soon” release of Mortal Royale.
That said, if Star Vault is going to achieve its dream of a game where 1,000 players are duking it out on the battlefield, they’re going to need a leg up in terms of visibility and engagement. One thousand players in a single game would require at least ten times the active average player count than Mortal Online has seen over the past six months. The trailer (linked above) currently has about 1,500 views.
According to Star Vault on Facebook, Mortal Royale is being worked on by a different team than Mortal Online, however the developer did not comment on whether or not this team is composed of new people or simply people pulled from Mortal Online, when inquired.
Star Vault’s Q2 Report: Sales Down, Profit Up
Star Vault has released their financial results for the second quarter of 2015 and the news isn’t all bad.
Net sales for the quarter dropped ten thousand dollars over last quarter, from sixty eight thousand down to fifty eight thousand. While net profit is still in the red, it has been steadily climbing for the past five quarters straight. In the second quarter, net profit increased from a loss of sixty one thousand to a loss of forty one thousand.
While profits increased and sales decreased, the report notes that the number of subscribers remains unchanged for the second quarter. In his note, CEO Henrik Nystrom expects Mortal Online to launch on Steam this month.
In order to be as ready as possible for the Steam launch, we built another starting position players – a queuing system. This and the start position is now completed. Moreover, we want to use Steam Achievements, which is different gaming sites where players can receive an award by doing different things in the game. In this way, players can show what they managed to achieve, which is also visible to other players on Steam. It’s a great way for others to see what you can do in Mortal Online, as well as the players can see that you play Mortal Online on Steam. We estimate that we will have these elements in place and to launch Mortal Online on Steam in August 2015. We have now compiled Steam Achievements, and the final polish on the level of detail.
