To celebrate the return of Academic, Dragon Nest Classic is offering an array of exciting rewards and in-game events. All players who complete pre-registration will receive the exclusive “Luxurious Chef’s Package coupon”, the Flapping Yellow Crazy Duck Mount, and a generous amount of Corora, the game’s premium currency.

Additionally, players who participate in the SNS sharing event will have a chance to win prizes such as a gaming laptop or gaming monitor through a lucky draw. Those who invite friends to join will be rewarded with various costumes, Pandora’s Heart, and other attractive in-game items.

Academic is portrayed as a genius girl with a mix of Engineer and Alchemist traits. Despite her adorable appearance, she surprises enemies with heavy-hitting long-range weapons like cannons and multi-purpose crafting gloves, making her a fun and unpredictable character to play. With a shocking twist tied to her identity—a clone—players can look forward to a highly engaging and unique gameplay experience.

The pre-registration period runs from July 11 to August 8 (GMT+8), and Academic will be available in-game starting August 13 (GMT+8).
