Kakao Games has revealed the official brand identity and key visual for ArcheAge S: Strait of Freedom (hereinafter ArcheAge S), an upcoming PC MMORPG currently being developed by XLGAMES.

The official brand identity inherits the unique design layout of the ArcheAge IP while incorporating imagery of the sea, navigation, and a compass, using an 'S' symbol to represent the subtitle 'Strait'.

The key visual reinterprets the original universe and its signature atmosphere with a sophisticated and vintage art style. Through five main characters, it captures a deep universe connected to the original work, and through a fleet cutting across the ocean, it showcases a scale that transitions from land battles to naval warfare.

ArcheAge S is a PC MMORPG led by Producer Kim Kyung-tae, who previously served as the lead planning team leader and PD of the original ArcheAge. The development team is reinterpreting the core identity of the original game to fit modern gaming trends. It is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2027, with a primary service focus on Steam.

A developer preview video for ArcheAge S is slated for release this September to introduce more details about the game. The developers will appear directly to explain the development philosophy and design intentions of ArcheAge S, while showcasing core content and actual gameplay footage.
