ROXGlobal open beta on 14 January: what you need to know

The countdown has begun! From tomorrow, you'll finally be able to dive into the MMORPG on Android and iOS that has made its mark on tens of millions of players, with the ROXGlobal open beta. The game promises an old-fashioned MMO feel, and the most nostalgic among you are sure to love the experience.

The game is free-to-play friendly and lets you play as a custom character, with a whole system of professions and activities in which you can take part, either solo or in multiplayer with the members of your guild! ROXGlobal begins its open beta on 14 January 2026, so pre-download the game now, to take advantage!

Why is ROX redefining the Ragnarok experience?

ROXGlobal isn't just an MMORPG, it's a universe in which 25 million players have been playing for over 20 years. Ragnarok X: Next Generation brings nostalgia back to life, while providing a healthy dose of innovation. So fidelity to the universe is guaranteed!

• The economic system: unlike many of its rivals, ROXGlobal focuses on trading, not microtransactions. Exchange your loots and rare materials for diamonds on a market managed by supply and demand.
  
  
  
  
• A modernised art direction : if you were around when Ragnarok Online was released in 2007, you'll probably remember its ultra-retro look. In ROXGlobal, you'll find an ultra-modern DA, with a colourful chibi vibe.
  
  
  
  
• Ragnarok's original story: as you explore, you can follow the game's original story, for a shot of nostalgia, or to catch up on old times!
  
  
  
  
• The social aspect: as well as joining a guild to take part in GvG battles, you can also find your other half in the game and even get married! This will give you access to a whole host of useful features, so give it a try!

The ROXGlobal open beta is coming up on 14 January, so now's the time to pre-download the game for the biggest MMORPG launch of the new year!
