Korean developer SuperPlanet's newest mobile RPG, Airship Knights, will soon hit mobile devices. The developer announced that Airship Knights' pre-registration began on the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store on October 7.
Pre-registrations often mark a game's final stages before its full version's release. Players who sign up for these milestones may get exclusive rewards. It has also become a common practice among mobile gaming titles that are set to launch.
Airship Knights pays homage to classic Japanese RPGs like Final Fantasy, developers said. All contents, such as the main episodes, battles, and the aircraft enchantments, were created in the spirit of classical fantasy worlds,
SuperPlanet wrote in a statement.
They also hoped it would appeal to fans of old-school JRPGs and similar genres. The idle voyage game will take players into a "magical steampunk world." Everything is drawn in a pixel-art style to take the nostalgia up a notch. As the title suggests, most of the story and combat revolve around the airship and the skies, from fighting monsters to igniting romantic quests.
SuperPlanet also promised to deliver a "speedy idle battle" in which players can defeat an enemy within 15 seconds. Meanwhile, SuperPlanet has yet to disclose further details about Airship Knights' release dates.
Last September 30, they released a 1-minute and 13-second trailer for Airship Knights on YouTube. It showed snippets of the upcoming title's gameplay.
Despite the return to a pre-pandemic state, the mobile gaming sector continues to grow. At the height of the pandemic, it was one of the industries that saw a rapid increase in growth and revenue. In fact, researchers forecasted it would account for 61 percent of the total market share of the gaming industry this year.
