Rising
Force Online, a sci-fi MMORPG which was originally introduced in the
Philippines in 2007, is making its return to our local shores via Asiasoft's
local subsidiary PlayPark that is set to delight old and new fans of what was
once an immensely popular game in the first decade of the new millennium. But,
RF Online is just one of the many big surprises from PlayPark and we'll get to
that after learning more about the relaunch.
Rising
Force Philippines will once again be fighting for the attention of generations
of Filipino MMORPG gamers which has been indulging in DOTA 2 and League of
Legends through the years, and what makes the game unique enough to have it
being rebooted for the Philippine market is the massive and constant PvP (player
versus player) battles which would hopefully slated to remain its selling point
in the near future.
Rising
Force Online, which originally enjoyed its run in the Philippines from 2007 to
2013, revolves around three warring factions, namely: the Holy Alliance of Cora
where the residents are heavy magic users and its culture is rooted in
theocracy; the United Bellato Federation which makes use of mechanized units
and is steadfast in their pursuit to enforce their motto "Freedom of
Conquest"; and the Accretia Empire where the residents traded their own
flesh for metal.
RF
Online Philippines will be initially available as a closed beta on November 2017
with details on how to become part of the said beta to be announced in the
coming days. It will be followed by a wider open beta release on December where
players are required to sign up for a PlayPark account at www.playpark.com. Players may expect huge improvements on RF Online
especially the game's resolution since it was once released way before HD became
the norm and high-speed internet was previously not on a high note.
Anyway,
aside from the return of RF Online Philippines, here are some of the
announcements made by PlayPark during its event held last October 24, 2017.
