Rakion Returns: Pre-Registration Now Open in The Philippines
/Due to popular demand, PlayPark and Neosonyx are bringing back the classic online PvP game Rakion to the Philippines and select SEA regions soon as players interested in revisiting the game can pre-register today.
Rakion Pre-Registration Details and Rewards
The Rakion pre-registration campaign is live from September 3, 2024, to October 15, 2024. Players who sign up early will get a chance to relive the iconic battles and be rewarded with valuable in-game items. With each new tier of pre-registration sign-ups, more rewards will be unlocked for all participants, ensuring everyone is battle-ready on launch day.
You can see the breakdown of each milestone event on Rakion’s pre-register campaign page as each one will reward pre-register players with a series of in-game items. There are six milestones in total with the first 10 requiring 10 thousand registrations while the highest one requires two hundred thousand registrations to unlock.
"Rakion isn't just a game; it's a piece of Philippine gaming history," says Ryan Jose Sacares, Country Manager of PlayPark Philippines. "We're excited to bring back the raw thrill of PvP combat that gamers have been craving. Whether you're a veteran player or new to the battlefield, Rakion promises an adrenaline-pumping experience like no other."
During a PlayPark press conference during the recently concluded PGDX 2024, I asked Playpar representatives why Rakion is being brought back and it’s literally due to popular demand by their players as the polls did show interest in replaying the classic online game which was first released way back in 2005 on PC.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
