Ragnarok: The New World, Gravity’s first open-world MMORPG for mobile and PC, launched on January 15, 2026 in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Within hours of the official release (and since pre-downloads began on January 14), the title secured the No. 1 spot in free downloads on the Apple App Store across all three regions. It also topped the top-grossing charts in Taiwan and Macau, and reached No. 3 in Hong Kong, underscoring both robust initial demand and the enduring strength of the Ragnarok IP.

Built upon the legacy of Ragnarok Online, the new title introduces full free-exploration across the Midgard continent and the series’ first flying vehicle feature. Gravity has streamlined repetitive tasks through an offline auto-hunting system and customizable guild event schedules, while reducing overall grind times. These enhancements are designed to boost daily active user metrics and drive deeper engagement among both long-standing fans and new players.

Gravity has revamped its in-game economy to incentivize spending without compromising user experience. Key changes include reduced pet draw cooldowns, lower refining costs and the permanent inclusion of the Kafra VIP privilege card. Early financial indicators point to accelerated in-app purchase volumes, likely contributing to sustained top-grossing rankings and higher average revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU) compared with previous regional launches.

The game’s swift chart ascension provides a strong revenue catalyst in Gravity’s fiscal second quarter, with Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau expected to generate combined gross revenues in excess of previous regional launches by 20%. Momentum from this release will support marketing initiatives for upcoming rollouts in Southeast Asia and Japan, potentially enhancing Gravity’s global revenue mix and margins. Investors should monitor daily active user trends and monetization uptake as leading indicators for Gravity’s growth trajectory.
