Ragnarok V: Returns is the sequel to 'Ragnarok: Valkyrie Uprising,' which has been played by more than five million global users in 150 countries over eight years since May 2012. Developed by Gravity Neocyon, this multi-platform MMORPG will be published by Gravity.

The game begins with our heroes on a quest to bring back Baldur, the God of Light, in order to stand up against the gods bent on ending mankind after a thousand years of Holy War.
