Arkan2 – The Modern Reinterpretation of a Classic

“Arkan2” represents the modern, professional, and fully legal reconstruction of the experience many players dreamed of, but never received.

It is not a private server.
It is not an archive of systems taken from anywhere.
It is not a “remake” with hundreds of features that destroy the original identity.

It is a reinvention, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, preserving the atmosphere, rhythm, tension, and visual identity that made players fall in love with the original experience — but with modern technology, physics, volumetric lighting, proper animations, and realistic environments.

🎯 What We Keep

• the sense of danger in the open world
• the mysterious and tense atmosphere
• exploration of villages, fields, ruins, and temples
• slow, satisfying, and deserved progression
• respecting the original vibe, not copying it

🚀 What Evolves

• modern graphics (UE5 lumen, nanite)
• realistic mocap animations
• creatures with real AI, not “aggro + running”
• physics on objects, real collision
• visually and ecologically denser zones
• weapons and armor created fresh, in the spirit of the original

Arkan2 is NOT a “1:1” replica.
Arkan2 is what it could have been if it had been created with the right mindset and modern technology.

🧿 Why It’s Different

• does not use any asset belonging to Gameforge
• does not use Metin2 code, items, icons, or files
• original brand, lore, mythology, and timeline
• worlds, temples, weapons, and mechanics conceived internally
• freedom to evolve long-term with no legal limitations

Arkan2 is built for:

• players who want seriousness, not chaos
• those who want a mature dark atmosphere
• those who prefer real progression, not instant
• the nostalgic — but not stuck in the past

🛠 Technically Speaking

• Unreal Engine 5.5+ (Nanite + Lumen)
• Motion Captured animations
• Behavioral AI (perception, fear, retreat)
• optimized multi-thread dedicated server
• cross-play planned in advanced phases

🔒 Legal & Ethical

This is NOT a “private server”.
It is a new video game, built correctly, legally, scalable, and publishable on major platforms (Steam, Epic Store) without fear and without shadows.

🔥 Arkan2 is:

“What Metin2 should have been in 2025 — if it were built with respect, passion, and modern technology.”

And this is just the beginning.
