I know we’ve all had our fair share of info pertaining to PC+Mobile cross-platform MMORPGs, right? Of course we have. It is with that knowledge that I bring to your attention the brand new upcoming PC and console cross-platform MMORPG: RISE. Yes, there is no mobile cross-platform compatibility here, folks. Absolutely none at all.

Now you might think that this upcoming MMO takes inspiration from.. a certain other medieval fantasy themed MMO and you’d definitely be right. But RISE is its own beast entirely. Now the very first trailer for RISE was actually released back in the middle of 2020, and I’d covered it at the time.
But we saw very little in the way of what the game would offer – receiving a cinematic trailer without any glimpse of gameplay.
Fast forward to today, we have a brand new trailer for the game that features actual in-game gameplay. And you know what? It’s actually looking pretty good.
We get an actual glimpse of the full action gameplay – which strongly resembled Geralt’s fighting style from the Witcher series, we get to see various different locales, story and more.

Interestingly enough, they do plan on introducing a mobile version of RISE in the future, but it is going to be developed completely separately to the PC and console versions, using, but simultaneously optimizing assets for mobile devices.
This is in essence what Pearl Abyss does with Black Desert and Black Desert Mobile as opposed to miHoYo and Genshin Impact.

I bet you’re wondering about the RISE MMORPG release date, right? Of course you are. While the developers haven’t announced anything concrete, RISE is expected to release in late 2021-early 2022. More info can be found on our RISE Release Date page.

So I was browsing the comment section of my latest Subverse video when I saw a comment from Maokami who mentioned there was a brand new upcoming MMORPG in development.
Sweet – there have been a ton of new MMOs announced this year – this one in specific is called RISE.

I know absolutely nothing about the game, having not even watched the trailer but you know what that means? Yup, we get to watch it together.

If you weren’t aware, RISE is a cross-platform South Korean MMORPG, much like Tower of Fantasy, Gran Saga, Project Ragnarok and so many other recently announced MMOs.
It seems the market is shifting quite rapidly, with support for cross-platform MMOs slowly becoming the norm. What we’ve seen thus far is only an in-game cinematic, but we can kind of get a feeling for the setting of the game at least.
According to the Youtube description, the goal with RISE is to develop an MMORPG that has full user emotion – a game that surpasses every other cross-platform MMORPG currently available.
Whether or not they’ll be able to achieve that is unknown, and what the game actually looks like in-game is going to remain to be seen but this, while we know very little about it, is still an MMORPG worth keeping an eye on going into the future.

RISE is slated for release on PC, console and Android/iOS devices, yes, a fully cross-platform MMORPG.

I bet you’re wondering about the RISE MMORPG release date, right? Of course you are. While the developers haven’t announced anything concrete, RISE is expected to release in late 2021-early 2022.
