New art released for Granado Espada M, apparently still in development

A new piece of artwork for Granado Espada M has been released, the mobile version of the long running PC MMORPG of the same name still nowhere in sight. One of the earliest announcements for the game was back in December 2019, supposedly to launch in the “later half of 2020”. It’s already coming to the end of 2021 now, so it’s safe to assume the disruption from COVID-19 had a part to play in this long delay.

Going by inven‘s brief on this art, T3 Entertainment doesn’t appear to be mentioned, supposedly the developer behind Granado Espada M back when they revealed just the game’s logo. The art itself only bears Hanbitsoft’s and IMC Games’ logos. Hanbitsoft, for their part, only seems to say that they’re aware that players are looking forward to this release, and that they will endeavour to meet player expectations.

The features of the game listed on the PC version’s Steam page is given as follows:

• More than 200 game characters
• Active automatic hunting mode for gameplay support
• Control up to 3 characters simultaneously
• More than 300 extensive areas to explore
• Up to more than 3,000 different quests
• Over 3,000 types of weapons, armor and costumes
• More than 190 different missions, with over 7,000 types of regular monsters and over 100 types of raid monsters
• Real-time faction wars with Clique Battles, Colony Wars and other PvP and RvR contents
• Elegant, medieval Europe-inspired graphics
• More than 200 alluring background tracks

In any case, we can probably expect the game to launch some closed beta in Korea first, before we can think of it releasing outside of the country.
