Ragnarok Zero is not a re-release — it is a "Special Edition" that overhauls the core mechanics of classic Ragnarok Online, with rebalanced skills and systems designed to fix the original's rough edges. And here is the big one: Ragnarok Zero: Global, published by Gravity Game Unite (GGU), is the FIRST global PC service in Ragnarok franchise history, targeting SEA, Europe, and Oceania — and it has an official launch date: <strong>August 18, 2026</strong>.
Ragnarok Zero: Global release date & testing timeline
Pre-registration opened March 5, 2026. The first Open Beta Test ran May 19–29, 2026, followed by a second OBT (June, extended to July 7–15, 2026). The official Grand Launch was announced for <strong>August 18, 2026</strong> — the first-ever global PC Ragnarok server, and it is days away. Accounts registered before launch keep their subscription time starting at launch, so pre-registering early is worthwhile.
