Netmarble Opens Global Pre-Registration for MMORPG Vampir After Strong Asia Performance

Netmarble has begun accepting global pre-registrations for its vampire-themed MMORPG "Vampir" on August 26, 2025, after experiencing strong performances in Asia. The game is now accessible via Google Play, Apple's App Store, the Epic Games Store, and the official Vampir website. In addition to pre-registration, users can earn rewards by joining the game's official Discord channel.

Vampir launched in South Korea on the same date in 2025, quickly becoming the number one revenue-generating MMORPG on both Google Play and Apple's App Store. The game attracted 200,000 concurrent users and generated $40 million in sales during its first month of availability. Following its success in Asia, Vampir expanded to other markets such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau in 2026.

In Taiwan, the game was the most popular in pre-downloads and ranked second in App Store revenue just one day after release. In Japan, Vampir claimed the top spot in App Store popularity and entered the Top 10 highest-grossing rankings. These successful launches in key Asian markets provided early confirmation that Vampir could attract players beyond its home country.

The vampire-themed MMORPG, developed with the same team behind Netmarble's popular "Lineage 2: Revolution," aims to appeal to a global audience within the dark fantasy genre. The company's global expansion of Vampir will determine if its performance in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan can be replicated on an international scale. For Netmarble, sustained overseas interest in Vampir could bolster its global MMORPG lineup as the firm aims to extend the longevity of its major titles across multiple regions, rather than solely relying on the South Korean market. The pre-registration period began exactly one year after Vampir's initial South Korean launch.
