Vindictus (also known as Mabinogi Heroes in Asia, and according to the game files) (2010) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by devCAT and created using the Source Engine. It was later released on 
Steam in June 23, 2012.
Vindictus runs on a heavily modified version of the 
Source 2006 engine, despite Source 2007 and later branches are available for licensing when the game was released, and Source 2006 was obsoleted as its stopped receiving updates since 2009. The game also supports Direct3D 11 rendering with an update[when?], and 64-bit support.
A sequel to Vindictus called Vindictus: Defying Fate is in development, which will run on Unreal Engine instead of Source.
