Kakao Games will officially launch its new MMORPG, 'World of Goblins,' on October 8.


On September 8, Kakao Games held an online showcase to announce the official release date, key content, combat system, and service plans for 'World of Goblins.'


'World of Goblins' is developed based on the popular Naver web novel and webtoon 'Myeolgisudojeon.' It features a hybrid 2.5D graphic style that combines 2D pixel characters with 3D backgrounds, creating a retro feel and a three-dimensional spatial experience. The game expands the original's world, which blends traditional Korean folklore with Eastern fantasy elements, and enhances the IP's quality through collaboration with webtoon production company Redice Studio.


Lee Si-woo, CEO of Kakao Games, stated in his welcoming remarks, "The game features a Korean-inspired worldview and unique pixel graphics. We aim to provide a sustainable service that allows users to enjoy the core fun of MMORPGs, focusing on growth and cooperation."


The showcase revealed a combat system utilizing 12 styles of magic. Players can mix and match various magic styles without being restricted to fixed classes, allowing for personalized combat strategies. This system enables diverse gameplay by combining the characteristics and skills of each style based on the situation.


The game also emphasizes a cooperative growth structure over competition. It strengthens cooperative content without making player competition a mandatory element, allowing users to enjoy PvP content selectively. Regular communication among users will be facilitated through operational content such as the 'Goblin Assembly.'


The AI system 'Myeorong' will provide user-friendly features and service direction. The showcase included actual gameplay footage and detailed service policies, along with a Q&A session where influencers posed questions to the development team on behalf of users.


Before the official launch, Kakao Games will host a live demonstration on September 18, showcasing gameplay and key content, along with real-time commentary from the development team.
