Cabal 2 was developed as a redesign of Cabal Online and runs on the CryEngine 3 platform. It keeps most of the classes from the original game, exchanging the Blader for the new Priest. It was developed by South Korean studio ESTsoft, Inc. The classes in the original game were gender locked, as they were in Cabal 2 at first. The developers have listened to the players and have made all 6 classes available to both male and female characters. The gameplay is linear and the maps are not connected together. In order to complete a map and move on, characters will need to progress through the map and complete a dungeon, thus allowing them into the next zone. This was based off early reviews so it could possibly change before launch. All the quests in a zone are said to be required for progression
