Gravity launches Ragnarok Online PLUS+ Korea CBT on Oct 22
Key takeaways
- CBT dates: October 22–29, Korea only
- Access: PC client via official site; mobile via Google Play and TestFlight
- 8th-day login grants boxed item for Angel or Devil headband at launch
- Features: auto-hunt and PC widget showing play status when minimized
Gravity opened the domestic closed beta test for Ragnarok Online PLUS+ on October 22, running the Korea-only CBT through October 29. The company says the test exists to inspect core systems and confirm service stability across PC and mobile environments before full launch. The CBT is open to Korean players only and lasts eight days.
Players can join the test on PC by downloading the client from the official website, or on mobile via Google Play and Apple TestFlight. The client supports the original Ragnarok play feel while adding convenience features: an automatic hunting (auto-hunt) system and, on PC, a dedicated widget that shows real-time play status in the lower screen area even when the game window is minimized. Those access details are the practical route into the build being evaluated over the next week.
Ragnarok Online PLUS+ expands the franchise world with two parallel realms born from the Heart Shard of Imir: Sorr and Mani. The project first appeared at G-Star 2025 under the tentative name "Ragnarok Online Project 1.5," where Gravity presented a darker, hostile parallel-world setting that drew attention from attendees. The new title keeps the original game's core pacing but layers a different narrative backdrop and quality-of-life changes aimed at smoothing routine play.
Gravity is running several in-game and community promotions during the CBT. Every account receives a daily login reward, and players who log in on the eighth day will receive a boxed item at launch that lets them pick either the Angel's Headband or the Devil's Headband — two classic accessories from the original. The company will also grant rewards tied to accumulated playtime and reaching specific levels, and operate participatory content such as treasure hunts and boss summons. On the official community channels, testers can post screenshots, report bugs, and share guides; Gravity will hold drawings from participant submissions and hand out additional benefits after the full service begins.
Why it matters
"We expanded the original world while adding new elements so both veteran and new users can enjoy the title," said Lee Hee-soo, head of the Ragnarok Online PLUS+ business team at Gravity, inviting players to join the CBT and leave feedback. If you want the Angel or Devil headband at launch, the clearest path is simple: complete eight daily logins during the Oct 22–29 CBT and use the selection box you'll receive.
