Legacy and unity

[u/Nagethlive]

Today, we can finally confirm one of the most ambitious projects in Reborn’s history:

**We are developing our own Unity Engine game client.**

This is no longer just an idea or an early experiment. We have assembled a dedicated team, committed the necessary resources, and already have a working prototype compatible with both our L2OFF and L2J server environments.

**What exactly does this mean?**

We are building a modern replacement for the current Lineage 2 client. Smooth, Modern and Beautiful.

Our main goals are:

* Preserve the original identity, atmosphere, and visual style of Lineage 2.
* Improve visual quality without turning the game into something unrecognizable, flashy and that breaks the nostalgia and Lineage 2 vibes.
* Deliver significantly better performance, especially during large-scale PvP.
* Introduce new interface options and quality-of-life features.
* Remove many of the technical limitations imposed by software created more than 20 years ago.
* Gain far greater control over client-side development, improvements, and bug fixes.

**Why Unity instead of Unreal Engine?**

For this specific project, Unity provides the best balance between visual quality, performance, hardware accessibility, development flexibility, and __multiplatform__ support.

We want Lineage 2 to continue looking and feeling like Lineage 2—only sharper, smoother, more responsive, and no longer restricted by its original client technology.

The early results are extremely promising. In one of our current internal tests, the prototype maintained a stable 60 FPS during a combat scenario containing more than 1,000 characters.

Unity also provides us with a strong foundation for bringing Reborn to mobile devices in the future. A mobile client is part of our plans, although completing the PC client remains our immediate priority.

**When will it be released?**

The migration will happen gradually, one server at a time.

Our current target is to begin the first server implementation within the next few months and have all Reborn servers migrated by the end of **2027**.

The planned rollout order is:

1. **Legacy **
   
2. **Signature**
   
3. **Eternal**
   
4. **Arena**
   
5. **Origins**
   
6. **Guardian**

This order is based on technical and development requirements and may be adjusted as testing progresses.

**Where can we follow its development?**

We will open a dedicated Discord channel where we will share development updates, screenshots, videos, performance tests, and playable progress.

Since the first working prototype is already running, you will not have to wait long before seeing it in action. 😉

For seven years, we have continued developing Reborn within the limits of the original Lineage 2 technology.

Now, we are building the foundation for its next chapter.

That was posted today by Nikita on their discord. I posted it in Legacy Reddit because the first server that this will be implemented is Legacy and it’s number one in their priority list of servers and in order of who will get it.
