ARCHEAGE CHRONICLES Play on Steam

What is ArcheAge Chronicles?

ArcheAge Chronicles is XLGAMES’ online action RPG in the world of Auroria, set about 50 years after the original ArcheAge. It was announced as ArcheAge 2 on 24 September 2024 and later renamed. It is not a second, separate sequel sitting next to this one.

Genre, without picking one label

Steam files the game with MMO tags. Producer material calls the same game a discovery-driven online action RPG. I keep both phrases. The combat is action combat with parries and cancels, not a tab-target hotbar from 2014, and the world is shared: channels of about 100 people, parties, and instanced dungeons for up to four.

Launch scope from the store and the news release: three regions, four classes, eight weapons, 60-plus zones, more than 1,000 exploration points, and a main story listed at 30-plus hours. RaidDex counts 366 main-story quests. That count is a database snapshot, not a sentence on the store page.

What it is not

It is not ArcheAge S, Kakao Games’ quarter-view PC project aimed at 2027. It is not ArcheAge WAR, the mobile game. It is not a private server, and this site does not point at one. The original ArcheAge’s North American and European service ended on 27 June 2024.
