The first of several major content updates stretching to the end of the year, Grand Chase: Rebirth debuts three newly revamped and highly-detailed character models, introducing a fourth skill for each character job and a streamlined user interface to ease in creating of a new Knight, item selection and dungeon searches.<\/p>\n

Gamers entering the game will see the first steps of Grand Chase\u2019s epic transformation, starting with fan-favorite character Elesis, Lire and Arme. Grand Chase players will be greeted with a more detailed and refined look for the three playable characters, thanks to an increased pixel-count, and all-new facial expressions, injecting even more personality to these anime-inspired characters. For long-time gamer and players working towards endgame, a new fourth skill is also available for Elesis, Lire and Arme. Additionally, the in-game hybrid attack pool\/mana pool play made popular by Asin\u2019s fighting mechanic is now available for all of Grand Chase\u2019s playable characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the last four years, our players have been very vocal on what they wanted to see in its coming update,\u201d said Sunny Kim, producer of Grand Chase for SG Interactive. \u201cWith the launch of Rebirth, <\/em>gamers can see advancements in three of the most popular characters, both visually and in gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I can\u2019t tell you about everything that\u2019s coming with Grand Chase: Rebirth, I can say that these updates included at our launch are just the tip of the iceberg,\u201d Kim added.<\/p>\n

Along with the character updates, the Grand Chase team has gone through the entire new-player experience, vastly improving and streamlining the existing user and dungeon interface. The previous screen resolution has been increased to 1024×786, allowing for a richer palette and larger play area.
