- HanbitSoft has announced Aika Mobile, a new MMORPG based on Aika Online.
- Arc9 Games includes key developers who helped shape the original game’s success.
- The mobile version introduces an upgraded Pran companion system with active combat roles, signature national system, improved visuals, combat effects, and more.
HanbitSoft has announced its new MMORPG, Aika Mobile, developed in partnership with Arc9 Games through a newly signed IP licensing agreement. Though the name is tentative, the upcoming game is based on the studio’s long-running PC MMORPG, Aika Online, and several key creators of this original game are involved in this project.
Get ready to relive the world of Aika Online on mobile with enhanced visuals and large-scale warfare
So, we’re getting a mobile adaptation of Aiko Online, which first released in 2009 and managed to earn a dedicated fanbase worldwide. I like how the team is trying their best to bring back the spirit of the beloved MMORPG while also reimagining it for modern devices. One of the exciting parts is that Arc9 Games is founded by core devs who played a major role during Aiko Online’s most successful years, so we can expect a lot.
Now, if you don’t know, the original Aiko Online actually stood out for its large-scale Realm vs Realm battles, which also helped it gain massive popularity across multiple regions on PC. I mean, the game won many awards at the 2009 Korea Game Awards for its game design, storytelling, and more. Honestly, I never got the chance to try the PC version, so I’m quite excited for this mobile adaptation.
Devs are revamping the beloved Pran system while preserving Aika Online’s core identity
As per reports from Inven Global, the devs are carrying over the IP’s expansive world and signature gameplay systems for the mobile version, while also enhancing it with revamped visuals and more dynamic combat. One of the biggest changes coming to Aika Mobile is the evolution of the beloved Pran companion system. If you played the original, you’ll remember how Prans mainly acted as supportive partners, but the team is now transforming them into active combat allies that battle alongside you.
Besides that, the devs are also bringing back the series’ trademark large-scale faction warfare, adapting the massive battles for mobile devices. And combine that with a smooth interface and modern quality-of-life features, Aika Mobile will surely appeal both returning players and newcomers, and I hope the team gives their best towards this project. Stay tuned for more updates!

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
