The project name is described as tentative. No release date or specific mobile platforms were provided.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arc9 Games includes core developers who worked on Aika Online during its most active years. HanbitSoft and Arc9 said the team aims to preserve the original game&#8217;s identity while updating visuals, combat effects and the user interface for modern smartphones and tablets.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key gameplay systems from the PC title will be carried over. The Pran companion system has been redesigned so companions act as active combat partners rather than primarily supportive units. The mobile version will reintroduce the franchise\u2019s national system and adapt large-scale faction warfare for touch-based play.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement highlights technical upgrades for mobile devices, including enhanced combat effects and quality-of-life features intended to streamline controls and navigation. Development is ongoing and the companies confirmed that several original Aika Online creators are involved in design and production roles.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aika Online launched in 2009 and built a global player base through large-scale Realm vs Realm battles and narrative elements. The original game received recognition at the 2009 Korea Game Awards for game design and storytelling. HanbitSoft framed Aika Mobile as an effort to bring those core systems to mobile devices for returning players and new audiences.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HanbitSoft and Arc9
