Nexon just released Season 3 for its live-service multiplayer shooter, The First Descendant, last week, and now, the company has unveiled a brand new game. Dubbed Woochi the Wayfarer, Nexon describes this game as a new “high-end PC and console action-adventure game set in traditional Korean culture and mythology.”
The Korean “blockbuster” game will depict the adventures of the Dosa, Jeon Woochi, of “The Mage of the Way” fame, and will release on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam when it’s ready to launch. It is being developed in Unreal Engine 5.
If its roughly two-and-a-half-minute cinematic reveal trailer is any indication, it looks to be a terrifying Joseon-era game action fans should keep an eye on.
Check out the Woochi the Wayfarer reveal trailer for yourself below:
Woochi the Wayfarer is inspired by “The Tale of Jeon Woochi,” a classic Korean novel that follows the adventures of the titular Jeon Woochi, “who uses his powers to fight injustice and trick the corrupt,” according to a press release. The game will be a single-player narrative-driven adventure that fuses magical settings with traditional Korean monsters and music.
Speaking of music, Parasite and Squid Game composer Jung Jae-il is handling the game’s score. Nexon is publishing it, and LoreVault Studio is developing the game.
There’s no word on when Woochi the Wayfarer will launch.
