Brace Yourself! G-Star Korea 2024 Reveals 5 New Mind-blowing Upcoming Korean Games
Aside from “Game of Thrones: Kingsroad,” which we had previously discussed, the G-Star Korea 2024 gaming convention revealed the top 5 new highly-anticipated games from Korean companies, with upcoming release dates in 2025.
So, without further ado, here are the very best productions by top Korean gaming companies.
“Crimson Desert” by Pearl Abyss
Firstly, we have the “Crimson Desert,” one of the most highly-anticipated open-world action-adventure games by Korean company Pearly Abyss.
Coming from the very genius mind that developed “Black Desert Online,” Korean top gaming company Pearl Abyss will soon release one of the best games in the open world action-adventure genre called “Crimson Desert.
Indeed, while the name may sound familiar, “Crimson Desert” is apparently a “Black Desert” prequel set in the medieval fantasy world of Pywel. This Korean game will follow the tale of Kliff, a mercenary leader burdened by his past, as he navigates a war-torn continent.
During the G-Star Korea 2024 preview, “Crimson Desert” proved to be one of the most highly anticipated Korean games due to its exceptional graphics as well as impressive fast-paced combat and exploration. In this game, you can fully immerse yourself, engaging in melee battles utilizing ranged weapons and performing dynamic actions such as climbing large creatures to attack the enemies’ weak points.
With Pearl Abyss’s proprietary BlackSpace Engine, “Crimson Desert” is also designed to give you the most high-fidelity graphics and immersive gameplay experiences.
As of today, the release date of “Crimson Desert” will reportedly be around the second half of 2025. Rumor has it that this game will be available for multiple platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
“The First Berserker: Khazan” by Neople
Secondly, we have “The First Berserker: Khazan,” developed by Korean gaming company Neople and developed by—again—one of the best Korean gaming publishers, Nexon.
“The First Berserker: Khazan” is one of the most anticipated new Korean role-playing games (RPG) that set in the “Dungeon & Fighter” universe. As we all know, “Dungeon & Fighter” is a franchise with a rich history spanning nearly two decades and boasting over 850 million users worldwide.
Furthermore, in this one of many of Nexon’s upcoming games, you will be immersed in the story of the tragic tale of Khazan.
Khazan is a legendary general of the Pelos Empire from over 800 years ago. Falsely accused of treason and subjected to brutal torture, Khazan becomes an outcast. He then wanders the land, spreading his curse, known as the Kazan Syndrome.
As a part of the “Dungeon & Fighter” legacy, “The First Berserker: Khazan” will give you the most intense and fast-paced combat experiences. You will be able to challenge unbelievable boss battles using a variety of weapons and abilities.
And tell you what? At the G-Star Korea 2024 gaming convention, many players have been complaining about how difficult it is to play this game. And while the developer has been contemplating making all the trials easier, they decided not to do so, thanks to international fans’ advice.
Moreover, if you’re a player who takes pride in strategic, creative character-building, this game offers an exciting opportunity to explore unique paths toward crafting powerful and iconic character progressions.
Finally, “The First Berserker: Khazan” is scheduled for release in early 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
“Project Overkill” by Neople
Thirdly is another one of the highly-anticipated upcoming Korean games by the Neople and Nexon duo, “Project Overkill.”
Again, with the “Dungeon & Fighter” legacy, “Project Overkill” is a 3D action RPG that highlights Neople’s iconic signature, blending intense actions and high-quality animations. In this game you will be brought back to the past, precisely 14 years before the events of Dungeon Fighter Online.
Prepare yourself for nostalgic encounters with familiar characters from the original game and embark on a blend of new and familiar adventures in the world of Arad.
“Gensei Online” by SUPERCAT
Since the company basically sponsored the whole G-Star Korea 2024 convention, Nexon proudly announced another one of the best new Korean games they will publish: “Gensei Online” by Korean developer SUPERCAT.
“Gensei Online” is a casual RPG developed from the legendary Genso Suikoden franchise. Giving the flawless blend of classic and casual RPG and modern-day gameplay, this new Korean game will be perfect for those who simply want to fill their leisure time.
In “Gensei Online,” you will get to team up with iconic characters like Ataho, Linshan, and Smash, diving into fast-paced gameplay with exciting new combat mechanics. Not only that, but there’s also a ton of fun cooperative content like field bosses, subjugation dungeons, and raids.
And if that’s not enough, you can also enjoy unique features like martial arts tournaments and mini-games—it’s packed with something for everyone!
“Project ARC” by KRAFTON
Last but not least is the “Project ARC,” one of the most innovative Korean gaming companies, KRAFTON.
If you think that KRAFTON is done and satisfied with PUBG as its ultimate shooting game, then you are absolutely deceived! In fact, at the G-Star Korea 2024, KRAFTON unveiled another one of its upcoming Korean shooting games that was nothing like you’ve seen.
Blending complicated strategic survival and immersive shooting experience, KRAFTON brings you its latest masterpiece, “Project ARC.” Indeed, this game may be entirely new to the industry. However, you will have no problem adjusting due to its familiar approach similar to the vintage shooting masterpieces, “CS: GO” and “Rainbow Six: Siege.”
Meanwhile, in this game, you will play the shooting in 5v5 MOBA style! Therefore, enjoy hacking into the enemy’s hidden Crypt in offensive/defensive mode, depending on your team, using various weapons and diverse gadgets.
Utilize your ultimate tactics in both close-quarters battle (CQB) and ranged gunplay using a variety of weapons, including assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers, each with distinct characteristics and handling.
Unlike the classic PUBG, “Project ARC” focuses more on a unique line-of-sight mechanic where teammates share their vision in real time, promoting immediate, non-verbal cooperation. Hence, you will have to coordinate effectively to outmaneuver your enemies.
Finally, at G-Star Korea 2024, KRAFTON said that “Project ARC” was still in development. It will later be available for early access in 2025.
So, what do you think? Among all these new upcoming Korean games revealed at G-Star Korea 2024, which one you anticipate the most? Stay tuned, and we will keep you updated with more information on each of these games.
