Elyon already had its CBT tests in the summer, and many players showed interest by pre-ordering a copy – but even KakaoGames admitted the huge competition in the genre right now. The original release was scheduled right after New World’s release, so making Elyon free-to-play and delaying the release seems like a reasonable decision.
If you have already pre-ordered Elyon, don’t worry! You are able to either keep your package, and receive additional premium currency in-game, or you can request a full refund if your purchase was made before September 10, 2021.
The official statement says the following regarding the delay:
“Unfortunately, due to these changes, it’s necessary for us to delay the game to prepare backend systems and make the required changes. The new release date for Elyon will be October 20th.”
Stay tuned, because Elyon is coming at the end of October, and it’s completely free-to-play now!
