NCSoft is stepping into the AI field by announcing a set of in-house language models to optimize game development. The South Korean publisher is now offering a one-month free trial to users across the globe.

Lineage remains one of the highest-grossing MMORPG franchises globally. And the latest report on the combined revenue of the top three mobile titles in the series is another proof of that.

Another game company has been hit by layoffs. The Western arm of Korean publisher NCSoft has cut one-fifth of its staff and the division’s CEO Jeffrey Anderson has stepped down from his position.

On May 19, NCSOFT released its new free-to-play game Trickster M, which is an heir to the 2003’s MMORPG Trickster Online. Although the title is now only available in South Korea, it is now earning almost $1 million a day.
