Metin2 Celebrates 19 Years of Community, Combat, and Commitment

Karlsruhe, Germany (January 13, 2026) | Gameforge celebrates a major milestone for one of its most enduring MMORPGs as Metin2 marks its 19th anniversary this January. Nearly two decades after launch, Metin2 continues to bring players together around the world — standing as a testament to Gameforge’s long-standing commitment to building and sustaining vibrant gaming communities over time.

‍

To mark the occasion, Gameforge is rolling out a month-long anniversary celebration packed with in-game events, generous boosts, and Twitch Drops, giving both veterans and newcomers plenty of reasons to jump into the action.

A Month of Anniversary Events (January 9 – 31, 2026)

Metin2’s anniversary festivities begin on January 9 and run through January 31, featuring a wide range of activities designed to reward players for fighting, exploring, and celebrating together:

• Birthday Party & Anniversary Boss Reaper Event – Players can hunt monsters for Party Flags, exchange them for birthday cake granting a 100% EXP bonus, or earn Anniversary Coins to spend at the Anniversary Merchant. A special anniversary edition of the popular Boss Reaper Event also gives players the chance to earn valuable reward chests.
  
• Free Anniversary Pet – Every account can claim a free Bonsai pet (30 days) from the shop as a birthday gift.
  
• Moonlight Treasure Chests – Special treasure chests with valuable rewards drop across all areas during a limited-time event on January 12.
  
• Metin Fever Weekends – On select weekends, Metin Stones spawn dangerous bosses carrying high-value loot, with even greater risks and rewards awaiting on the continent of Yohara.
  
• Fishing Jigsaw Event – A more relaxed anniversary activity invites players to fish for prizes during two dedicated event windows later in the month.

Anniversary Boosts to Start 2026 Strong

Throughout January, players can benefit from escalating EXP and drop-rate boosts, reaching up to +100% EXP and +50% drop rates by the end of the celebration — making it one of the best times of the year to level up and gear up in Metin2.
