A new trailer for Ragnarok 3 has been released, providing a first look at the upcoming title. The footage highlights vendor stalls, a feature reminiscent of the original Ragnarok Online, suggesting a continued focus on a player-driven economy. This aspect has been a defining characteristic of the franchise, allowing players to engage in trade and market systems within the game world.
The trailer also showcases the combat system, which appears to adopt a more action-oriented approach while retaining the visual style of previous titles. The damage effects and text remain consistent with past iterations, maintaining a connection to the series' identity. However, the video is edited in a way that obscures certain interface elements, raising speculation about the inclusion of autoplay mechanics, a feature commonly associated with mobile and free-to-play MMORPGs.
The potential presence of autoplay has led to discussions about the game's monetization model. Previous titles under the Ragnarok name have followed a pattern of introducing new games with similar core mechanics, often featuring microtransactions as a primary revenue source. While details about Ragnarok 3 remain limited, its design choices and business model will likely determine how it is received by players familiar with the franchise’s history.
