RF Online Next prelaunch

- Netmarble opened global pre‑registration for RF Online Next across PC and mobile, and added the Epic wishlist. - The rollout will add 12 languages, including German, French and Spanish. - Publishers are still using Epic as a PC launch channel even while mobile monetization strategies evolve (simulationdaily.com) (gamespress.com).

Netmarble opened global pre-registration for RF Online Next on April 22, ahead of a worldwide PC-and-mobile launch. (gamespress.com) Players can sign up through the official site, Google Play, Apple’s App Store, Netmarble Launcher, and an Epic Games Store wishlist page. Netmarble’s forum says pre-registration began at 05:00 UTC on April 22 and runs until launch. (forum.netmarble.com) The global rollout adds support for 12 more languages, with German, French, and Spanish named in Netmarble’s announcement. The company said the game had already launched in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan before this wider push. (gamespress.com) RF Online Next is a sci-fi massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG, built around large shared maps, faction conflict, and persistent character progression. Netmarble describes it as the official sequel to RF Online, a game Epic’s store page says reached 20 million players worldwide. (gamespress.com) (store.epicgames.com) The pitch mixes mobile storefronts with a PC launcher and Epic wishlist, a release pattern publishers still use when they want reach on phones and visibility on desktop stores at the same time. In this case, Netmarble is asking mobile users to pre-register through app stores while directing PC users to either its own launcher or Epic. (gamespress.com) (forum.netmarble.com) Netmarble is also tying different rewards to different sign-up routes. Its forum lists store rewards such as a Rare Biosuit summon ticket and Uncommon Rover summon tickets, while website registration adds items including an Epic Rover Flora Summon Chest and 1,000,000 credits. (forum.netmarble.com) The same notice says those rewards will be distributed after launch between June 17 and July 15, which points to a mid-June release window for the global version. A mobile listing cited by GamingonPhone separately points to June 18, 2026. (forum.netmarble.com) (gamingonphone.com) For now, the prelaunch campaign is doing two jobs at once: reopening RF Online for a broader audience and testing how far Netmarble can stretch one launch across web, mobile stores, its own PC client, and Epic before release day.
