Although most of us expected that this “new-ish” game would take a whole lot longer to develop and release. Turns out Gamigo, XLGames, and Trion had been working on this revamped ArcheAge: Unchained version for a while – because it will be out soon!
Release Date
I’m super excited to inform you that on September 30th, 2019 you will get full access to the new ArcheAge Unchained MMORPG if you pre-order now or purchase upon release. That’s right guys, literally, in one-month we can start discovering our legendary selves.
ArchePass Details
During Gamigo’s Twitch Livestream, on August 30th, the team mentioned more details about what the ArchePass. It’s basically a season pass and if you pre-order the $79.99 USD top-tier “Archeum” package, the season pass will be included. Players without the pass will still get basic rewards, just not the premium benefits season pass holders will receive.
The ArchePass will look very similar to the Daily Activity Tracker and you will unlock daily quests. The $10 premium pass will have 45 levels with basic and premium tiers. Initially, you will actually be able to get the premium pass for in-game currency as well.
What’s an ArchePass?
The ArchePass is a glorified season pass for ArcheAge Unchained. Every day you are given new daily quests when you login and completing these quests will level up your ArchePass. Every time you level up you will earn new basic and premium rewards.
Every month new rewards will be added to the ArchePass and all the tiers you didn’t complete will be carried over to the next month, in addition to the new tiers. Players will only have 90 days to unlock season pass rewards, otherwise, you’ll miss out.
The standard ArchePasses will be available to all players. All basic season pass rewards that will be available to all players will affect gameplay and any premium rewards will not affect gameplay and simply be exclusive cosmetics.
What’s included in the ArchePass?
The team mentioned that they will be bringing back the full catalog of existing ArcheAge items. There will be no pay-to-win benefits from the pass, it will be purely cosmetic.
Here’s what you get with the Archeage Unchained ArchePass.
- Gameplay Items (Basic Pass)
- Exclusive Cosmetics (Premium Pass) All of the things that would affect your physical appearance.
- Diligence Coins (Basic Pass) These coins can be used to purchase a wide range of items from battle pets to gliders.

What’s different about ArcheAge Unchained?
ArcheAge: Unchained gives every player an equal starting point (for the most part) and gives no pay-to-win benefits to players with a bigger wallet.
New graphical improvements have been made and a whole slew of content updates will be available at launch. Unlike the Classic ArcheAge, your power and progression are only limited by your own ambitions, not a paywall.
Just like Classic ArcheAge, there will be a heavy focus on the following.
- Open-World (multi-continent map)
- PvP / PvE
- Guilds & Community
- Mounts & Gliders
- Crafting, Farming, Fishing & More
- Own World-Based Plots of Land
- Customizable Housing
- Trading (global trading)
- Vehicles (cars, caravans, etc)
- Sailing (own ships)
- Questing & Dungeons
- Player-Driven Economy
