Netmarble is running the first Discord Live AMA for its vampire MMORPG, VAMPIR, and using it to put a schedule on the game’s wider release. The session gathers the development team on the official Discord to introduce the game, answer player questions, and hand over the detail players have been waiting for since pre-registration opened: when the global version actually goes live.
Quick answer: VAMPIR’s inaugural Live AMA is scheduled for October 15 at 01:30 UTC on the official Discord. Netmarble will share the worldwide launch timeline and pre-registration rewards during the stream.
When and where the VAMPIR Live AMA happens
The AMA takes place on October 15 (Thursday) at 01:30 UTC. Netmarble is hosting it inside the official VAMPIR Discord server, with the broadcast running in the ama-stream channel and submitted questions handled through the separate ama-questions channel.
Players who want to watch live or drop questions ahead of time need to be in the server before the session starts. You can join through the official VAMPIR Discord server.
The notice for the session carries an update stamp of 03:05 on October 12 (UTC), so treat the Discord channel listing as the current reference if anything about the stream link changes before the event.
What the AMA agenda covers
Netmarble has published the running order for the session, framed around the game’s “Night Council” presentation. The four agenda points move from introductions through to the launch announcement.
- Opening — host introductions and an overview of the agenda.
- VAMPIR Introduction — an explanation of the game and what kind of MMORPG it is.
- Live Q&A — answers to questions submitted in the
ama-questionschannel plus real-time questions. - Global Launch Schedule & Pre-Registration Rewards — the launch timing and the rewards tied to signing up.
VAMPIR global release status before the AMA
Netmarble has not yet confirmed a global launch date, which is exactly why the October 15 announcement matters. The game is already live in several Asian markets, with the wider release still at the pre-registration stage.
| Region | Launch | Status |
|---|---|---|
| South Korea | August 2025 | Live (first market) |
| Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao | March 2026 | Live |
| Japan | July 2026 | Live; shares the Global 2 server since July 22, 2026 |
| Everywhere else | No confirmed date | Pre-registration open |
The Global 2 server that opened on July 22, 2026 connects Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, and Japan into one environment. It links markets where the game is already running rather than acting as the worldwide launch, so it is separate from the global release the AMA is set to cover.
A date of October 29, 2026 appears as an “Expected” field on the US App Store listing, but that is a store placeholder that can shift without notice and does not come from Netmarble. Until the AMA, no official global launch day is set.
Pre-registration options and rewards
Pre-registration opened on August 26, 2026 and runs until the grand launch. Rewards are distributed after launch, once per account, no matter how many of the sign-up methods you complete. You can register through the official VAMPIR pre-registration page, and signing up is limited to players 19 and older.
There are four ways to take part, each tied to a different reward:
- Store pre-order on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
- PC pre-registration via the Epic Games Store wishlist and the Netmarble Launcher, which auto-installs the game on launch day.
- Joining the official Discord and subscribing to the YouTube channel for an in-game welcome coupon.
- Entering an email address for a launch event offering up to 1,100 summons.
The main welcome package includes 100,000,000 Gold, a Designated Heroic Mount Summon Ticket usable at Level 55, a Rare Weapon Chest, a Rare Armor Set Chest, a Rare Appearance Summon Ticket, and the three Immortal Portrait Fragments that combine into the Immortal Franz portrait. Collecting all three fragments activates the portrait, and its gender matches the character claiming it.
Redeeming the Discord welcome coupon grants these progression materials: 500 Class Portrait Restoration Kit Chests, 500 Dungeon Magic Bead Chests, 500 Artifact Enhancement Stones, 15 Refined EXP Serums, 15 Refined Serum Bundle Chests, and 100 Enhancement Scroll Chests.
Pre-registration rewards land in your mailbox and can be claimed for 30 days after the grand launch. Once delivered, individual items sit in the mailbox for 7 days before they are deleted, and expired items cannot be recovered.
Classes and gameplay shown ahead of launch
VAMPIR is a cross-platform dark fantasy MMORPG from Netmarble Neo, the team behind Lineage 2: Revolution and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. Mobile and PC players share the same world. The store materials put five playable classes forward under the line “Become the Mightiest Vampire!”
| Class | Weapon / role |
|---|---|
| Bloodstained | Sword, defense |
| Carnage | Gun, ranged |
| Akasha | Bladed tonfa, melee pursuit |
| Grim Reaper | Scythe, assassination |
| Viper | Magic orb, curses |
Combat is built around large multiplayer fights and faction-versus-faction battles, with an auto-combat option and a power-saving mode in the interface. The promotional slides lean on team play, with lines such as “Seize Victory in Large-Scale Combat with Your Allies!” and a faction battlefield pitch.
Monster hunting drops Diamond, the premium currency, directly alongside Gold and EXP. Netmarble promotes this under “Diamonds Dropping Just from Hunting,” framing it as a world where the core currency can be farmed through normal play rather than purchased. The darker tone is reflected in the ratings, with the Google Play listing marked 16+ for strong violence and drugs, and the US App Store carrying an 18+ rating.
Once the AMA runs on October 15, the global launch schedule and the full pre-registration reward list move from placeholder to confirmed. Until then, joining the Discord and completing pre-registration is the way to be in position when the date lands.
