DRIMAGE has officially set the pre-registration date for its upcoming blockbuster MMORPG Architect: Land of Exiles (hereafter Architect), marking a major milestone ahead of the title’s launch later this year.

On September 3, the studio revealed that pre-registration will begin on September 17 through a teaser trailer titled “Regret of the Times.” Set to Seo Taiji’s classic song of the same name, the video spotlights Architect’s expansive lore, its unique mix of progression and exploration systems, and its promise to push the boundaries of what players expect from MMORPGs. The teaser closes with the bold message, “The times have changed,” signaling DRIMAGE’s ambition to redefine the genre.

A Deep Dive Into the World of Architect

Alongside the teaser, DRIMAGE launched an official introduction page for the game. Narrated from the perspective of the key NPC Saikarad, the page delivers an audiobook-style presentation of the Tower of Giants and the journey of the protagonist known as the Successor.

The site is divided into four sections—Origins, Emergence, Rift, and Key:

• Origins outlines the backstory surrounding the Tower of Giants.

• Emergence introduces the game’s central regions where the main storyline unfolds.

• Rift highlights gameplay features such as the Phantom Vault, the Great Deluge, and Sacred Stone Conquest, in addition to collection mechanics, mounts, and aerial exploration.

• Key provides details on the game’s five playable classes: Warrior, Assassin, Mage, Hunter, and Priest.

Gradual Rollout to Build Anticipation

In the lead-up to launch, DRIMAGE is steadily unveiling content. On September 1, the studio began releasing a four-part video series that showcases the game’s defining features, raising anticipation among fans.

Developer’s Outlook

According to DRIMAGE CEO Jeong Woo-yong, the start of pre-registration signals the beginning of full-scale preparations for launch. He emphasized that the team is focused on polishing every detail to ensure players experience something that feels both fresh and distinct when the game goes live.
