NCSOFT's massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) 'Lineage 2M' has quickly risen to the top of the popularity rankings in the Chinese App Store following its launch.
NCSOFT announced that 'Lineage 2M' began its service in China at 9 a.m. on June 24 (Korea time). The game is titled 'Heaven 2: Covenant' (天堂2: 盟约) in China, with local publishing handled by Tencent Games.
Immediately after its release, 'Lineage 2M' secured the number one spot on the Chinese Apple App Store. Tencent Games initially launched the game with 12 servers but quickly expanded to 24 additional servers due to high user demand, bringing the total to 36 servers currently in operation.
Before the launch in China, NCSOFT conducted a closed beta test (CBT) with around 50,000 participants to tailor content to local user preferences and ensure service stability.
Industry analysts believe that the extensive localization process for 'Lineage 2M' has successfully attracted users in the early stages of its release, enhancing its potential for success in the competitive Chinese gaming market.
