As previously reported, on November 5, a major update Samurai Crow will be released in Lineage 2 Essence, which will introduce players to a new combat class. The release will take place simultaneously in all regions, including Russia, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, the USA, and China. Now, details about this class have emerged.

Details

The new class is available for the Kamael race, part of which lost its only wing and was banished from Elmoraden to another continent. Without their former advantage, the exiles created a new combat style, entirely based on the katana — thus, the Samurai came to be. And the time for their return has come.

The Samurai is a highly mobile fighter, possessing more than a dozen unique skills. He uses instant dashes towards the target, knockdown moves, stuns, and series of physical attacks. Moreover, the longer the Samurai attacks a specific target, the more devastating his blows become.

The full power of the class is revealed in its deadly finishing techniques. He is capable of igniting wrath and unleashing the Oni demon, the guardian of Hell. It is believed that novices only summon an astral copy of the monster, whereas katana masters themselves become the embodiment of the demon — a living nightmare on the battlefield.

About the New Servers

With the arrival of the new class, players in Lineage 2 Essence will have access to two new servers — SAMURAI1 and SAMURAI2. For those who register in advance from October 22 to December 3, 2025, exclusive in-game rewards are prepared: Samurai Path Earrings, Hidden in Foliage Mask, and Samurai Bento.

The distinctive feature of SAMURAI servers is a hunting economy. Players will be able to earn adena by defeating monsters and then spend this currency on equipment in the in-game shop. Success will depend solely on efforts: the more you hunt, the faster you level up. At the same time, there will be no complex mechanics familiar to Essence, and auto-hunting will be available.

All territories on the new servers will be peaceful zones, where attacks on other players are prohibited, but every evening (from 20:00 to 24:00 MSK), restrictions on PvP battles will be lifted in certain locations.

Lovers of PvE battles can expect a series of large-scale activities: a simultaneous invasion of 30+ raid bosses and battles with legendary dragons Valakas, Antharas, and Fafurion.
