Prologue - The third crest
THE SAME PASSION. A NEW BEGINNING.
There are worlds you
never forget.
Your first +9 item. Your kingdom. The friends you made along the way.
We return to what made Metin2 unforgettable.
This is an introduction to IMPERIVM. The official presentation will follow the Open Beta tests.
Discover IMPERIVMFROM PLAYERS, TO PLAYERS
That passion never faded.
We at the IMPERIVM team took a step back from this world to look around and understand what was missing from the thrill Metin2 has always given us. We want to build a place for this community and rekindle the nostalgia of those who left the game long ago.
But we realised something: it is no longer 2008. Nostalgia can spark the desire to return and make the first few hours special, but it cannot sustain an experience on its own. As that initial excitement fades, players need meaningful reasons to keep going: worthwhile goals, engaging progression and new adventures to share.
IMPERIVM grows from that understanding. We want to recapture the simplicity and carefree spirit of the golden days while building a smooth, carefully crafted experience that lasts beyond the joy of returning. Modern content, systems and mechanics should enrich what makes Metin2 special and renew the desire to play. Every addition must have a purpose.
We want to grow with you, listen to you and keep improving. To turn every adventure into a memory worth carrying.

Introduction
This preview is a greeting to the community following us on Discord and a first look at IMPERIVM. We are sharing our vision and a few glimpses of the project; before exploring gameplay and its finer details, we want to complete Open Beta testing. The official presentation will showcase an experience tested in practice, with your feedback helping to shape it.
Rediscover the joy of starting anew
In the first weeks, we want you to enjoy the Metin2 you loved again, without confusion. From level 1 to 120, you will travel through familiar maps, carefully refreshed, and encounter modernized systems that remain easy to understand, without needless complexity.
A journey in four chapters
- Chapter 1
- Chapter 2
- Chapter 3
- Chapter 4
The starting point · Levels 1–120
Content for all four chapters has already been prepared. We will introduce it through updates at the right time, following player progression and community feedback. As the chapters unfold, Middle School content will arrive gradually, followed later by New Style content, in a journey that stays enjoyable and easy to follow.
Progressive
How should IMPERIVM be defined? That is for you to decide. If you are looking for a term, we like “progressive”: a world that grows with its players, step by step.
1 / 3
The soul of Metin2.
A new technical foundation.
We are Metin2 players building IMPERIVM around the game’s familiar style, with new systems and modern mechanics. We have reworked the engine for DirectX 12 and 64 bit, prepared ten languages and developed Imperivm Shield, a dedicated anti-cheat system.
- Reworked engine: DirectX 12 and 64 bit
- Ten languages
- Imperivm Shield, dedicated anti-cheat
- Quality presets from Classico to Ultra for a range of hardware
- Android and iOS in development
The Chronicles of the County
An engaging, distinctive story to follow, alongside relaxing minigames: a way to spend time and take a break from everyday life.
THE CHRONICLES OF THE COUNTY
THE LIVING CHRONICLE
Contea Jinno–Shinsoo
Contea Jinno–Shinsoo is a capital divided exactly in half between the two kingdoms. The villages remain faithful to the originals, one to one.
Your character
Four classes.
Your way to fight.
Warrior, Ninja, Sura and Shaman: the identities you know, with their paths and styles. Balancing combat and roles is an ongoing effort, so your choice of character matters in every adventure.
1 / 3
The character editor
The in-game editor gives your creativity room to shine and helps you make your character unique. Customization does not overlap with or replace the normal in-game effects.
This is not the final version: we will continue improving the editor, visual quality, layout and HUD until launch, along with the rest of the project.
- Class identity
- PvE and PvP
- Solo and group play
A world to live in
The County has a rhythm of its own.
The day/night cycle, weather conditions and random events bring the world of IMPERIVM to life. Every element is designed to make the game more immersive while preserving its spirit. You can disable these features if you prefer a simpler experience, except in certain scenarios where they are required.
Your boat, your shared adventures.
As early as Chapter 1, you will be able to unlock the purchase of your own small boat and share it with your guildmates. Yes, you can board together and explore the waters of the County.
The boat will also have a practical purpose: drop anchor and you can fish even while AFK. Without a boat, fishing will instead involve a fun minigame.
We have more exclusive features in store for the marine world. We will reveal them later; for now, enjoy this first adventure on the water.
Faithful companions in adventure
Your trusty horse, mounts and pets all have a place in IMPERIVM. Familiar companions, modernized and woven into your progression, ready to share every new stage of the journey.
Horse and mounts
From your first pony to your favorite mounts, a faithful presence along the way. The system has been renewed to accompany your growth while preserving the charm of the Metin2 you know.
Pet evolution
An egg, a new life and countless adventures to share. Pets have also been renewed and integrated into your journey: little companions to watch grow by your side.
Casual System
Your time
matters.
Work, study and everyday commitments change how much time we can spend playing. The Casual System lets you choose the days when your sessions count for more, with clear benefits and transparent rules.
- +30% Metin drop chance
- −50% personal dungeon cooldown
Choose your days.
Select the days when Casual is active in your weekly calendar. On those days, the ordinary Metin drop chance increases by 30%; this does not guarantee 30% more items.
If Casual is active when you complete a dungeon, your waiting time before re-entry is halved. The benefit is personal: each party member follows their own calendar.
A clear limit: 1,500 Metins.
On Casual days, you can destroy up to 1,500 Metins. Once you reach the limit, you cannot deal further damage to Metins until the daily reset at 00:00 server time.
The calendar and counter are shared across all accounts on the same PC: switching characters or accounts does not reset the limit. On unselected days, normal drops and cooldowns apply, without the Casual daily limit.
Plan at your own pace.
After saving, the calendar cannot be changed for 24 hours. Your selection takes effect within a few seconds and does not reset the Metins already counted that day. The Casual panel shows whether the system is active, your used quota and the next reset.
Rankings
Competition always finds a new goal.
Keeping competition alive is one of our goals. All-time, daily and weekly leaderboards make room for both achievements built over time and the challenges of the moment, so there is always a new goal to aim for.
- All-time
- Daily
- Weekly
Your result. Your guild’s strength.
Rankings go beyond individual players. Dedicated guild leaderboards add together the results of their members: every contribution can strengthen the group’s standing and turn a personal goal into a shared challenge.
League: competition’s next step.
You may also have noticed the League category. We are keeping the details under wraps for now: it will be a system designed to make PvP more accessible and immediate across all level ranges. We will share more when the time is right.
Guild System
Your guild. Your own little empire.
In IMPERIVM, a guild is a place to gather, take on new challenges and grow together. We have redesigned the system to make room for cooperation, giving every contribution a place in your shared journey.
A village of your own
A new building editor will let you place buildings and arrange your village the way you want. Together with your guild, shape a place that reflects who you are: your own little empire.
A refreshed interface
The guild interface has been redesigned to make managing your community clearer and more enjoyable.
Guild missions
Shared objectives turn each member’s efforts into achievements for the entire guild.
Honor Medals
A dedicated guild currency, woven into its progression: Honor Medals give value to the journey you build together.
New passives
New passive skills accompany your guild’s growth and enrich its development.
New PvP and PvM challenges
New guild modes will let you compete against other players and face PvM challenges, with coordination and teamwork at their heart.
IMPERIVM COIN
Imperivm Coin is an in-game currency dedicated to character progression. You can use it in the dedicated section of the Item Shop to purchase items and upgrades.
You earn this currency through normal gameplay and can spend it freely, shaping your progression around your needs and play style.
