The next area coming to Ragnarok Online 2, Forgotten Payon, has a list of new and interesting monsters and locations. See some of the process behind bringing this new area to life through the concept art!

On a recent ‘This Week in Ragnarok’ live-stream I showcased these scenic images along with other concept art for the area. These are just some of my favorites~

Payon has been reclaimed by nature and forgotten by the inhabitants for Rune-Midgarts.

The concept art for the monsters and weapons for this area are equally as interesting! I won’t spoil the surprise showing too much but here are some of the cool illustrations that start the process in creating a new area in the game:

(Have to admit to laughing at an easter egg in this illustration for the Ginseng monster… Those anguished faces may look familiar to otaku…)

You can see the 3D finished version of these concepts in the last post on my blog here.

I really enjoy seeing the progress that leads to the creation of a game. If you like the creative process as well, I hope you enjoy this small peek into that for RO2.

This new area has a lot of cool monsters and scenery that will be making your leveling to ML 40 fun very soon!
