KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global gaming company Gravity’s Malaysia-based subsidiary, Gravity Game Unite (GGU), officially launched its new PC MMORPG, Ragnarok Zero: Global, across Southeast Asia, Europe, and Oceania on August 18.

Starting August 18 local time in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Oceania, players can download the PC client from the official Ragnarok Zero: Global website and begin playing immediately. The title operates under a subscription-based service model. It is noteworthy that Gravity Game Unite (GGU) is directly operating the game not only in Southeast Asia and Oceania, but also across Europe.

Building on the core elements of the original PC MMORPG Ragnarok Online, including its iconic 2D pixel graphics and class system, Ragnarok Zero: Global introduces new episodes along with modern features such as auto-hunting and an updated UI/UX. The official version features a variety of new content designed to offer an experience beyond the original, including the connected game Get Poring, RO Factory, the first User Generated Content (UGC) feature in a Ragnarok IP title, a new Germany-themed map, the new MVP Raid content, and a new Valkyrie skin. The game supports French, German, Spanish, English, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian.

In particular, Get Poring and RO Factory attracted significant attention even before the official launch of Ragnarok Zero: Global.

Get Poring is a connected game where players can collect and raise unique Porings and monsters, which can then be used as pets. RO Factory is a platform that allows players to create their own footprint items. The initial 100 available slots filled up quickly, generating strong interest among players and prompting GGU to expand the number of available slots. GGU also plans to identify items and effects that players would like to see and add them in future updates.

To celebrate the official launch, Gravity Game Unite (GGU) is holding a variety of in-game events. Until the maintenance on September 24, players can receive various rewards by logging in with a character for at least one hour on 5, 10, and 15 separate days. Players can activate or deactivate participation in the event by speaking with the NPC Ribello. During the same period, rewards will also be provided to Guild Masters when their guild reaches levels 5, 10, and 15. Players can also participate in additional events featuring Catch the King Poring, Reach Max level 50, EXP Boosting, Monster Gauntlet, and more.

GGU has also prepared a crossover event with RO Lite – Arrow, the first title under RO Lite, a casual brand based on the Ragnarok IP. Players who play RO Lite – Arrow and clear up to Stage 100 can receive a one-day Ragnarok Zero: Global Game Pass up to twice per month. RO Lite – Arrow is a stage-based puzzle game featuring simple controls and collectible Ragnarok monsters. Players complete each stage by finding the correct sequence to move all arrows off the puzzle board. The second title in the series, RO Lite – Puzzle & Monster, is also scheduled to be unveiled at a later date.

Gravity Game Unite (GGU) President Harry Choi said, “Ragnarok Zero: Global is a highly anticipated title that preserves the core elements that have made Ragnarok Online beloved by players around the world, while introducing new experiences such as Get Poring and RO Factory that have already attracted attention ahead of launch.”

He added, “We have worked to enhance the overall quality of the game to meet players’ expectations. As we directly operate the game across multiple regions, we will continue to communicate our service direction, listen closely to player feedback, and strive to build long-term relationships with our community after launch.”
