Gravity confirmed RAGLAND, an official platform for creating and distributing user-generated content based on the Ragnarok intellectual property. The announcement is in the third-quarter results release, published on November 13, 2026, and in the investor presentation from the same day. The public reveal had already happened at the Ragnarok Festa 2026 press conference in Bangkok on November 7.

What did Gravity officially confirm about RAGLAND?

Gravity confirmed RAGLAND on November 13, 2026: a platform for creating and distributing content with the Ragnarok intellectual property. Gravity Game Max, a subsidiary to be established in Thailand in 2026, is set to run it. The schedule lists a Thailand-only alpha in April 2027, a soft launch in February 2028 and the official launch in August 2028.

In the third-quarter release, the company sums up the product as a user-generated content creation and distribution platform based on the Ragnarok intellectual property, with an official launch in August 2028. The investor presentation, on pages 28 and 29, details the schedule and the planned features.

What was shown at the Ragnarok Festa 2026 press conference?

At the Ragnarok Festa 2026 press conference, on November 7 in Bangkok, Narut Poovorakit, from Gravity Game Max, showed a no-code visual editor with official Ragnarok Online maps, NPCs and monsters and instant testing. GNN, which covered the session, also noted invites for friends and guilds and a schedule given in quarters.

The official event, called Melody of Alberta, took place on November 7, 2026 at UOB Live Hall, in Emsphere, Bangkok. That is on the festival website and on page 31 of the investor presentation, which mentions 27 Ragnarok intellectual property titles at the event.

What comes from press coverage of the conference does not replace the official document. Below, we separate what the investor material already confirms from what came from coverage of the session, mainly GNN (Nov 8, 2026) and inews24 (Nov 8, 2026).

What has not been announced yet?

The investor presentation mentions no-code tools, sales of user-made content and access to official Ragnarok Online maps, NPCs and monsters. It does not state the platform (PC or mobile), the soft launch or official launch regions, package prices or the revenue split percentage. These points remain open for now.

In this reading, we also found no RAGLAND notice on the GNJOY Americas notice board or on the WarpPortal home page. A character such as the Novice or a Merchant only comes up as an example of the Ragnarok universe: the official material lists no classes, episodes or system requirements.

The MMORPGBR report from Nov 9, 2026, and the matching Instagram post, tie the announcement to the fight against private servers, including in Brazil. That reading belongs to the outlet, not to any passage of the release or investor presentation that we found in this check.

Still clues, with no official confirmation in this reading:

  • Whether the February 2028 soft launch and the August 2028 launch will be global, including Brazil and the rest of the Americas.
  • What it will cost to keep a world online and how revenue will be split.
  • Whether there will be Portuguese support and which Ragnarok Online rules, maps and systems will be available.
  • What the link is, if any, to the user-generated content mentioned in older Zero: Global material. We do not merge the two without official text.

What did Ragnarok Festa 2026 announce for Zero or RO in Brazil and the Americas?

In official sources and written press, Festa 2026 brought no beta or launch date for Zero: Americas. The website listed a Zero: Global booth. The January 2027 forecast came out in the Nov 13 results, not as a festival notice. In classic RO, Omelete reported VILLAINS taking third place at Ragnarok Stars 2026.

Omelete's coverage, updated on Nov 10, 2026, describes Ragnarok Stars 2026 as the world championship of the format: VILLAINS represented Brazil, finished third and took 15,000 dollars; the title went to MorningStar and second place to Phantom Troupe. This applies to the Ragnarok Online competitive scene, not to Zero.

What is our analysis?

RAGLAND is official and has dates in the investor material, but it is still far away: the April 2027 alpha is Thailand only, and the official launch is set for August 2028. For those waiting for Zero: Americas, what moves the calendar is still the January 2027 forecast, already covered in the launch article.

The Festa press conference helps explain the editor, the guild invites and the rule that the license for official assets applies inside the platform. In this reading, none of that allows using the Ragnarok intellectual property outside RAGLAND, nor settles price, language or presence in Brazil.

What should you do now?

If you follow Zero: Americas, keep an eye on the official pre-registration and the November and December tour, both gathered in the launch article. RAGLAND still has no sign-up page, client or date for Brazil that we found in an official source in this reading. When Gravity publishes a game notice, we will update this article.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

01.Does RAGLAND replace Ragnarok Zero: Americas?
No. They are different products in the November 13, 2026 official material. Zero: Americas is a PC MMORPG expected in January 2027 in North and South America. RAGLAND is a content creation and distribution platform, with an official launch expected in August 2028.
02.When does RAGLAND reach Brazil?
In the material we read, Gravity did not state the soft launch or official launch regions. The only explicit region on the slide is the April 2027 alpha, limited to Thailand. Treating Brazil as confirmed now would mean inventing a region.
03.Will it be possible to create your own server with official characters and maps?
According to GNN, the conference described an official editor with Ragnarok Online maps, NPCs and monsters, including examples such as Prontera and the Poring, and said the license for those assets applies inside RAGLAND, not outside it. The IR confirms the tools and the use of official maps, NPCs and monsters, but does not detail the rules, episodes or limits of each world.
04.Is there already a public test date or a price?
There is no sign-up day, package price or revenue percentage in the release or in the investor presentation. What exists is the alpha, soft launch and official launch schedule, still as a forecast.
